Chapter 9 - Chapter 3: A faraway land of kindness and unicorns

Meanwhile, in a dark castle of which was stationed in a land of forever night, there sat a man alone on a throne, dressed in all black with a cloak that spread across the floor it mad him look like the emperor of death in a great hall in this castle, the only thing that accompanied him was the ebony suits of armour that were pristine and polished, when the light hit them you could only just see a blood red tint, probably a reminder of all of the poor souls that they have murdered. The main doors, which were as tall as the wall that they were on, they were opened by a person coming in. they were normal sized not even a giant or anything, they were skin and bone, no muscle visible with a blue flam in his eye sockets "sire I have come to report." The man on the throne waved his hand as to say continue "well sire, there are three matters to take care of, the supply of humans is going down as they are being gorged upon recently and there have been petty squabbles around the diseased" the man in black looked at the man slowly turning his head to look at the skeletal man his blood red eyes which held a mystery that drew you in but would make you feel terror stared at him "take more humans from the world then. Kill any diseased that cause trouble, its not as if they are true vampires anyway." The man paused for a second before continuing "you said three but only listed two issues, say the other one or I will destroy you where you stand, I don't have time for petty games"

"yes, my lord your daughter is still lost and we have no contact from the Armoured, we believe she destroyed them" the man on the throne stood up, this made the room shake violently dust that collected on the wooden beams above were shook off, suddenly it stopped and the man spoke in a voice that was scarily calm after his outburst "then find her, litch adviser of mine" the litch slowly backed out of the room when he herd his kings voice behind him again "and remember what I do to those that fail me" the doors closed behind the litch, walking down what seemed to be an endless corridor almost every opening he past where rooms often with their doors open that would contain torcher of some kind. he turned right at the one hundred and sixth opening this room had a podium with a book placed atop it in the centre that would rotate to wards your position. The room itself seemed to be a library, with books that littered the room across countless shelves, some such books are 'what to do in case of a pluming issue' and most notably 'how to kill a dick that's been messing with you in the most painful way possible' these where just the most notable out of the countless books on the shelves. The book in the centre however was special it was the grimoire of the very litch that owned this library, it contained some of the nastiest spells ever to exist. sorting and taking care of the books were skeletons dressed in suits. "I'm home again my great library, I hope nobody has disturbed your endless collection. I know I was away for a hour or two but the kings awful disobedient daughter has ran away from her sleeping prison. I will try to not leave you again for the next few days, after all I do need to collect information on her" the litch then smiled a grin that split open the skin on either side of his mouth, he knew that he must find a way to catch the vampire kings daughter and quickly or he may just find that he may have to spend the rest of eternity as just a skull. And so he set out to find ways to do so, to summon things or create monstrosities, to capture her and return her to her sleeping prison.
