"What are you peeping at stupidly?"
Zaiden burst out on Curtis with an irritated gesture, his arrival in the vampire realm became a trouble magnet.
"Oh! I...what should we do now?"
Curtis unconsciously omitted 'master' from his question, which went unnoticed by Zaiden.
The boy wandered around on the grassy ground, the wind howled in the empty land. Nothing was in the sight except the boundary wall of the kingdom.
"He instructed us to go to the east kingdom, right? We don't have any compass to direct our route."
Zaiden totally forgot to check the system's menu to see if it had a compass or any map.
"We should wait for night and find our route from the stars."
Curtis nodded and both started to walk away to a certain direction. They needed to get away from the Xandaya in case the imposter king was behind them.
The theory wasn't false since the mysterious man was actually after Zaiden Rivers. His initial goal was to take over Xandaya, which was an easy target to achieve since Lyre Theon was a fool.
Being a shapeshifter with rare O+ noble blood he killed Lyre and took over his position. Valos had already sensed the vibe and knew that O positives, who had been hiding away from other blood groups, hated them all.
It had been eons that some O negative had appeared, the particular ones could perform unimaginable feats. Their magic was unbreakable and the seals they put on others had no unlock.
That's why O negatives were feared and were countable in numbers, they had the magic to turn the tables upside down more likely to destroy them. Zaiden seemingly belonged to that rare clan which was nearly extinct, but his sudden emergence had called danger.
Considering that his mission was to eradicate the vampire realm and belonging to the O negative clan, he was a major threat to the whole damn race to which he was a part of.
"Sun is about to set and we should be able to see the stars soon."
Curtis informed the boy who sat under the shady tree in the forest close to kingdom Xandaya.
Zaiden didn't feel hungry after the recent blood bag but the incident had left an impact on his mental health. He didn't respond to Curtis verbally and sat in the same meditation posture.
The thought of drinking the blood of a living being was gross and Zaiden had no explanatory evidence to support why it happened. Either it was related to the serum he obtained from the female vampire, which combined with his blood to fuse and turned him into a vampire.
In the worst case he was unaware of his lineage coming from his noble blood vampire mother, who was an O negative and was now missing since his birth.
They figured out the route and headed towards the east kingdom. But things did not turn out as expected, as soon as they walked out of the forest a gush of wind threw Zaiden in the air.
The forest was stretched between west and east kingdom with a few empty plains, Zaiden was a few miles away from the destination kingdom. The gush of the wind lifted him up in the air and he remained there swirling in the spiral mini tornado.
Curtis couldn't help but to panic again for being a useless tag along partner, Zaiden closed his eyes to avoid dust when he heard a few kids talking. Two boys and a girl ran towards him with worried gazes, all of them appeared to be of the same age.
"I told you to focus on the summoning, now you put us in trouble again."
Drake, the tallest one among them, scolded the bulky fat kid who was shorter in height. Marco lowered his head in shame and guilt, after witnessing that his lousy mastery over the spell put Zaiden in trouble.
Drake closed his eyes and chanted some spell which made the sand beneath his feet move in the spiral. And the kid directed it to hit the mini tornado created by Marco, due to having a huge frequency it hit the air and disrupted it.
Zaiden felt the strong wind engulfing him, Drake directed the tornado to the ground and Zaiden landed on the ground on his four limbs. Curtis was relieved to see him safe but Zaiden was not satisfied with the situation.
His eyes glared red as he stood up from the ground and dusted off his clothes.
"How dare you!?"
Zaiden clenched his fists and walked towards Mark, with all his might Zaiden landed a punch on Marco's face.
Drake gasped while Ellen stood there with a stone face, Marco couldn't decipher anything and fell back on his butt.
"How did you think you can come at me?"
Zaiden crouched and grabbed Marco by collars and punched him again.
"Hey, get back, kid!"
Ellen tugged at Zaiden's clothes from behind and pulled him effortlessly, Curtis could visibly analyse the situation and sense the strength of the kids.
"It was just a mistake, no need of being a brat."
She tossed Zaiden away like a twig, while Drake helped Marco who started crying with his bloodied nose.
"Who are you to call me a brat!?"
Zaiden felt the similar gush of energy in his body due to the blood coming from Marco' nose. Zaiden's vision began to go weary when the notification popped up in the corner of his eye.
