I walked out of the bar.
I suppose i was too harsh on William, though, he is just...so...common.
A boy really, trying to play with magick. It is a dangerous thing to play with, and i think one day that i will have to rescue him from one of his "experiments" I thought to myself, i will try to be nicer to him, maybe give him some of the guidence he seems to be needing.
The nice was beautiful, not a breath of air, and cool.
I need out of this place. Every night something like this happens, the gangs, the fights, the drunks.
There has to be more of my kind around somewhere. Mine was not the only clan of druids in this world.
That is strange i thought. Some kind of energy had just disturbed the night air. It sent shivers up my spine, and made my hair stand on end. There has never been magick like this in this town! The energy was too strong to be William playing around. It felt like such evil...
Before i could trace it, it was gone. However, i did follow it to the place it was last used. The residue from the spell hurt! No one was here anymore. A most powerful being used this magick.
I wondered the streets looking for something, anything, that could give me a hint.
There was suddenly a yell of pure terror down one of the narrow streets. I ran as fast as i could to the direction of the yell.
Coming the opposite direction was was the paladin.
In the middle of the street was a shadow, but not just a shadow, everything about this being was black. It was like the blackest night with no stars was standing in that street before me.
The paladin and i both stopped dead in our tracks.
What are we to do about this????? He has too much magic for me to handle, and no sword will fell this creature of darkness.
He looked right at me. What i saw made my blood turn to ice. His eyes were a deep blue, and could look right into your soul. I felt his will tearing at it, trying to take my soul from me. I fought as hard as i could. The paladin jumped in front of me, and broke his concentration.
Great i thought - now there is the two of us here, with no where to run, no one to turn for help.
The vampire once again turned his gaze on us.
What could i do????
I prayed as hard as i could to my gods to bring me a miricle or some sort.
