Draig wasted no time in gearing Kira and the rest of his pets for battle, currently though he had sat down Kira as he had a question to ask him.
"You summoned me" stated Kira as he bowed in front of Draig and cast his gaze to Kasa who was sitting at the Feratu's side.
"Indeed, I was hoping you could clear up some of my curiosity" answered Draig as he was staring at the differences in the Bloodline traits between Kira's bloodline and that Iron Bodied Wolf's.
"I will answer anything I can" nodded Kira hoping it was something he could use to show his worth.
"What is the difference between you and our new decorations" asked Draig straightforwardly.
Kira sighed, it seemed he hadn't expected Draig to become aware so quickly.
"It's our strength's. My Bloodline is known for speed, I am from the Wind Sprint Bloodline. The Iron Bodied Wolves are known for their sturdy physique and strength, each of the tribe's carried one aspect of our forefather" explained Kira
'Not so unlike what the Founder had done' noted Draig mentally.
"How many of these tribes are there" asked Draig as he played with a special Blood Gem.
"There are four that remain, the other's were purged during the cleansing including the tribe I hail from" answered Kira with sadness seeping into his voice.
This was not the answer Draig wished to hear as he stopped playing with the gem.
"What do you mean purged" demanded Draig as he turned to look at Kira for the first time since his arrival.
"I mean their Bloodlines have ceased to exist" elaborated Kira causing the Vampire to glare angrily.
"I am aware of what Purged means you mangy mutt, what I mean is their vials are gone as well" demanded Draig causing Kira to jump at the sudden pressure from the Feratu.
"I am not sure, there are rumors of them still floating around among some of the Betas. Other than this information I am afraid I know nothing more" answered Kira unable to confirm whether they still existed.
"Interesting" muttered Draig before tossing the gem to Kira, causing the Wolf to stare at it curiously.
"Eat it, speed will only take you so far" stated Draig before waving Kira off.
Kira left before eating the Gem waiting until he was outside he consumed it and felt as if his body was soothed, this was something Draig hadn't had the pleasure of experiencing as his Bloodline was already complete. Kira could hear Draig's chuckle as the Feratu had sensed the change in his energy levels, it would seem the Gem possessed the Iron Bodied Wolves sturdy physique and strength.
Kira looked to the abode with gratitude, this was more than he could have hoped for in his life. He was now on a path to become a true Alpha.
While Draig and Kira prepared for their conquest of the other Wolf Tribes they were unaware that someone was on their way to encounter the young Feratu.
This group followed one of Draig's scouts but the Wolf's eyes were dull and lifeless as he returned to Draig, this was an odd sight but not so unusual in the olden days.
"How much further filth" called a cold feminine voice.
"Three days" came the lifeless drone from the scout.
"Still, I truly wonder how you sickening creatures could ever overthrow our kind" cursed the woman while her companions stayed silent.
In their hands could be seen book not dissimilar to Draig's but to put them on the same level would be humiliating.
"Emily, remember this trip is to bring back the one who is creating the new Blood Catalogue. Not some kind of personal vendetta you feel for no reason" stated one of the people following this cold woman.
"You forget your place" snorted Emily but this person chuckled causing the woman to turn around to chastise him again but instead she was met with a heavy strike.
"In the clan you may have a higher standing because of your Tome being of better quality and having more pages but out here your nothing to me or Ivan. You would do well to remember that before you think you can treat me like that thrall in front of us" warned this large man.
Emily tried to regain her breathing but found difficulty in even straightening her form, this person before her would never act in such a way if she remained in the clan. She was the heir to the Catalogue, she had the most pages out of anyone this generation and she had been specially selecting the Bloodlines she collected hoping to establish herself among the clan.
"Hey you smell that" asked the slimmer man to the side.
"What is it Ivan" asked the large man.
"I smell one of our kind, it seems the will of this mongrel is strong. He was leading us past our target" chuckled Ivan before swishing his hand removing the head of the scout and shattering the collar.
In the Village Draig lurched forward suddenly spooking Kasa, she looked to the Vampire with a questioning stare.
"Stay" growled Draig as he began walking for the gates of the Village, Kira attempted to follow but was turned away harshly.
'Who dares trespass in my domain' wondered Draig with cruelty dancing his eyes.
He couldn't pin point the exact location but he felt a thrum run through his veins and determined that it was reacting to the culprit.
'It better not be that damn fox, there will not be fourth encounter' snarled Draig as he picked up his pace in the direction where he felt his Blood pulse the hardest.
Not far away Emily and her group also followed the tingle in their blood but they felt something oppressive instead of the pulsing.
"It feels like elder Bloodburn is here" cringed Ivan a bit, he truly hated that old Monster.
"Silence Ivan" stated the Large man stepping to the head of the group as a deadly mist rolled in surrounding the group.
"What is this" asked Emily before being hushed by the large man's words.
"He's here" stated the Large man seriously.
