There is no light here in the north but getting caught up in a fight with the wood elves during the day is a bad idea. So they all ran. As for Malekit, he is sullen about the entire thing. But there's nothing he can do about it. He wants power like every person and he is ready to do anything to get it. Unfortunately for him, he is a vampire. He is limited on how to acquire power and he is limited on how strong he can ever be.
He will never match an ancestral vampire in power in the same rank and neither will he reach the highest height that ancestral vampires can reach. The only way to solve that is to get his own heart of Carnage. It is too bad that he just lost the only chance to get it.
