A mere week following the settlement of his clan within the labyrinthine fortress engineered by the Aurelius lineage around the disc, Max found himself summoned for an audience with The vampire king Regus Aurelius himself.
The Bloodfall clan, for the time being, were assigned minimal responsibilities extending no further than patrol duties within the maze-like fortress. However, Max was under no illusions – he understood well that their tasks would undoubtedly escalate as time went on.
From the moment he was relieved from his outpost to return to the disc, Max had nursed an inkling that an individual meeting with Regus was imminent.
If the king did not see value in him, he would not have taken the trouble to save him from whatever retaliation Avans was planning and called him back towards the disc.
Max was no stranger to intimidation, but his disposition remained steadfastly calm as he approached the king's war chamber escorted by five guards.
