Daz bowed showing respect in front of his chief. There is his advisor and captain of the knights besides him "The Rangers was successful in finding the Vampire's Ritual Site and as always they manage to escape. The Lycans are chasing them after. The operation manage to rescue a single person and he still not recovered his memo.. "
"ah another violet" the Chief interrupted him mid sentence "I am Baron Sot Harbinger, I hate politics so you can just call me Chief."
The Barons blue eyes stared coldly on violet offering him a waterskin. Violet moved towards him accepting his hospitality.
"Please drink to your hearts content, it's been a long journey you must be thirsty" After violet grab the waterskin then search for the opening to take a drink. Sot instinctively grab the hilt of his sword.
With a disgusted face, violet spit out the content. "Ack, seriously is this blood? I never thought you guys are also vampires"
"We are not those greeds, humans had many different eye colors before but now it is only blue and brown" the scholarly looking old man spoke, his face full of disappointment. He rammage his small bag taking out a fruit.
"To bad he is not a half or a quarter vampire Tron. You are out of specimen these days." looking back to violet "Drink this, it's water " the full plated soldier toss him a waterskin.
"In the past 5 years other worlder like you usually have hidden vampire instincts, plaguing us turning civilians like them. Those mongrel vampires relied heavily in blood unlike pure breeds who don't feel hunger" Chief explained unapologetically "so we killed and experimented them to find a cure, if there is one. It is always nice to turn them back. So don't be alarmed I think you only have a drop of their blood in you." he point to his face "Those eyes are combination of blue and red if you don't know. The catalyst they used are the missing residents in the neighbouring town thats my conclusion, making you one of us now"
He then spread both arms to the sides starting from Right to left "This is Knight's Captain Egus Harb and Advisor Tron Ringer, Harbring will be your home for now. Tron give him the apple" Tron extended the fruit and cast a barrier spell
"Is this some kind of test again?" Violet asked doubting the trio's workmanship while grabbing the fruit. All four backed away looking at him.
"Yes" the advisor plainly stated "This World's name is Io. Everything you see contains mana, your first consumption of food will showcase the innate talent that Io gave to you, if you have one. Think of it as a merchant exaggerating the functionality of a new equipment. It will multiply your power to a ten fold so you can distinguish it easily then return to its original power after a while"
Checking the fruit thoroughly he followed up "If this world is full of mana. Why didn't it affect me when I drank the water and do you cast that when giving birth?"
"A curious fellow, I see" the knight remark "Because water is a general element all living things needs it and no, unlike you we are born with a mana filled world" he explained while the listener took a bite. "It is for safety purposes. Last 400 years ago a person like you has eaten her first lunch but in a tavern. She has a talent in pyromancery but was burned alive and buried under the ruin. Your own magic will not harm you but the flame produce by the wood will"
After finishing the contents "I think I feel strange but nothing is happening Daz who was the person I'm going to ask to chief when we were in the cart?" he asked and thankful for the food.
"Not everyone has a talent and he is Robert from the old text. I think I can really picture today those writings" Daz answered back.
"His talent is mind breach. He can send thoughts to others but not the other way around. The town folks killed him for shouting system and status open over and over again to their mind. The last trigger was when he planned to seduce all the women using his power" the chief answered like reading the old text in front of them
So he was eating during that time Violet thought to himself. I need to play my cards right and proved to humans I'm capable. "What work can I do to prove my worth my esteemed saviours" he bowed deeply with gratitude.
The Baron smiled while giving him something from his pouch "it is 10 silver coins you can stay at the stable near my house, I'll make you do physical labor tomorrow." looking at his left "Advisor I'm confident you can teach him the basics so he can be useful to us" and at his right "Notify Beyl the stonesmith to report to me later" glancing to daz "Follow me to my office I'll discuss other matters" everyone left except Tron.
