The guards looked at Lyanna with a puzzled expression, questioning her sentence.
"What the fuck are you whispering, you little beggar, he?" One guard poked her shoulder lightly with his spear, making a little wound on her.
Lyanna slowly turned her head to her newly opened wound where some drop of her blood flew out.
The atmosphere around her suddenly turned to be pressuring, sending chills on the guard back.
"Why does it feel like the temperature dropped like its winter?" One of them said as the sudden cold pierced his fully dressed-up body as he would be naked in the middle of an icy lake.
The few drops of blood started to fly before Lyanna, shocking the guards before her.
"W-What the fuck?!" Both of them said simultaneously and stepped back twice.
"W-Who are you?!" One of them shouted at Lyanna and pointed his spear to her throat.
"My previous offer was too generous." Lyanna said with a cold voice.
When the guards' eyes found Lyanna's eyes, both of them felt like they have fallen into the emptiness, sending chills on their back while their bodies were soaked in a cold sweat.
The flying blood drops formed into some kind of needles with the length of a finger, from 4 drops to 4 needles.
"Vampire Aura - Blood Needles." The words left her mouth in a low voice.
Two out of the 4 needles flew into the face of the guard who pointed his spear to her neck. A slight sound resounded as the needles pierced his head through his face.
"Hey, are you okay, dude?!" The other guard asked as he saw only 2 needles floating before the girl.
A few seconds later, the guard collapsed to the ground like a doll, blood flowing under his helmet to the ground, making a little puddle.
"W-WHAT DID YOU DO?!" The guard shouted with a trembling body.
Lyanna slowly lifted her left hand, and the blood rose to the air before her fingers from the dead guard's body.
"As I said, I was too generous with you." Lyanna made an eye-contact with the man who fall on his butt in fear.
"P-PLEASE, HAVE M-MERCY!" The guard shouted while he turned and kissed the ground with his forehead.
"Vampire Aura - Blood Needles." Lyanna repeated her words.
"AAARGH! HEEEL-..." The guard shouted as he tried to run away.
A little clanging sound has been heard as the needles pierced through the metal helmet, and the dead body fell to the ground.
Lyanna sighed in a discomforted way and looked up to the sky.
"I know you told me to don't use this aura, but I can't do that. Not after you left this world ..." A little emotion overcame her hardness and a drop of tear appeared in the edge of her left eye. "If you didn't teach me about the aura, I think I couldn't come here."
Lyanna took a step forward the gate and a crow cawed on the chair where the guard sat before. As she walked away, the crow flew near the dead body and slowly started to tear apart the skin on its face.
Lyanna didn't pay much attention to this as the crows always appeared near a corpse in mere minutes. Instead of that, she recalled those moments her mother told her about the aura.
"Hey, Lyanna! Stop it right now!" A fierce sound echoed in the spacious room.
"M-mother ..." Lyanna stuttered.
"I told you many times that you mustn't use that! What could happen if someone sees it?" She hugged tightly Lyanna with a worrying expression.
"But wyy?" Lyanna squeezed the question out of her.
"Because that aura is not your natural one." Her mother told while she released Lyanna from her choky hug.
"Not ... natural?" Lyanna looked at her full of surprise and wonder.
"You know what an aura is?" She asked.
"Magical power!" Lyanna answered without hesitation, smiling brightly.
"Yes, and actually, no. The aura is with us from the moment we are born, but it only awakens for a few people. You, me, and your grandmother is also an exception because our bloodline bears a second aura that naturally awakens before the other ones." She tried to explain.
Lyanna pondered a little, and a little red fluid appeared before her, she looked at her mother with a puzzled expression.
"But mother, why do call this Vampire Aura? Our ancestor was a vampire?"
"No, silly." She poked Lyanna's nose lightly with a smile. "It has given this name by a wanderer a long time ago. He named this aura since where he came the ones called vampires could manipulate the blood."
'Mother has met with a wanderer from another place?' Lyanna thought to herself.
