Zaiden cast a keen look at the city in front of him. The chief already saw his expression and chuckled softly, he was well aware of the prophecy and his identity. Both of the matters gave him the honor to meet the 'chosen one.'
The boy from the ancient family who went under seclusion after giving birth to the prince of darkness. Rumours had it disclosed already that the darkness wielder would be born as a dhampir, the identified male would bear it in his eyes.
Hence when the chief spotted the golden flecks in his eyes, he immediately grasped Zaiden' identity about which he himself was just partially aware. The chief carefully put the boy down on the ground, Zaiden took one small step since he was on the cliff. The cave opened on the extended cliff and next the huge hollow came, after crossing the pit awaited the honeycomb shaped city.
"Do you like it?"
The chief aimed to know about Zaiden' thoughts over his city, the boy was amazed as much as he was curious to know the reason. He was capable enough to know that nothing comes for free and the chief must have some reason to bring him there. If he didn't want to kill him then some other big advantage must have been lingering in his mind.
However Zaiden suspected their courtesy but he wasn't a fool to behave brashly to welcome the obvious death from it. Thus he stated the question with a smile indicating his trust. All other pals seemed to be undergoing body tempering after coming out of the cave. Zaiden vividly saw their size decreasing but the hideous appearance didn't change at all.
"It's mind blowing, but what place is this?"
He spoke in a curious tone while the chief was waiting for the very same question. Zaiden was elated upon finding a place where technology reigned, since the boy had stayed away from it he missed the weapons. The only thing Zaiden had on him from the human world was his watch, now he finally found a place with the same environment, he expected to find some weaponry items.
"It's hexaphere, the honeycomb city of technology!"
Zaiden smiled upon the ridiculous contrast of the city, the seemingly goblins had been producing technology in a honeycomb. The chief boasted about the prominent attribute of his city, which intrigued Zaiden. The boy had already seen the small drones hovering over the glass honeycomb, their presence was visible due to the shiny reflection of the galaxy-sky.
"Why are we here? Weren't you going to send me back?"
Zaiden didn't let his intruding aim surfaced on his face. He couldn't afford to steal from there since human technology wasn't capable of killing vampires. Zaiden modified the tech of his world into specialized features, now the weapons of Hexaphere were a new thing for him.
"I am and I will, but for that we have to get back within the center of Hexaphere. That's where you will be teleported back to the vampire realm."
It wasn't hard for the chief to guess from where he was, Zaiden had vampiric attributes physically. The boy nodded and stared in the pit which was an endless dark void. He patiently held back his urge to know how they were going to cross the pit.
The chief signaled back to his 'men' and all snapped their fingers, a small marble sized blue crystal appeared.
The chief did the same and threw the ball on the ground, it bounced and opened into a plate. Zaiden recognized the technique and understood from where the vampires traded that kind of gadgets.
Zaiden has used the same technology from that female vampire whom he killed back then. She belonged to some other kingdom located in the vampire realm, a nation enriched with such advancements and is in trading with Hexaphere. Now that Zaiden was able to comprehend how weak the situation of the vampire realm was.
The boy planned to have some technology or some kind of small weapons which could be hidden under his clothes. The chief got up on the energy plate and instructed Zaiden to hop on. Zaiden grabbed his calf to support himself as the plate flew towards the city.
