Chapter 43 - Nosferália.

On the slopes of the Mountains of Death lay a sinister county; Nosferália, where gloomy streets and avenues with mansions and buildings in the Romanian style, in a huge city that instead of schools, had barracks where non-natural beings were trained in the arts of war, preparing for the constant battles they had to fight against the technological army of the undead of Alcalá, a city that instead of shopping centers, had large factories operated by sinister craftsmen, who were used for the construction of heavy weapons, with mechanical devices such as crossbows and catapults that were used in battle, a city that instead of hospitals had large galleys, which were used for the recovery of the wounded in battle, a city that instead of churches had large dark castles where magical techniques were developed, although the streets looked clean, and well laid out as if an architect had them, would have designed them, with cobblestones and the normal appearance of an old European community, but not as an old medieval village, but as a European-style city of the eighteenth century, illuminated with torches and cauldrons of some kind of fuel oil that filled with sinister shadows every corner of that gloomy city, where nocturnal animals, as dogkeepers, instead of dogs, lamias, instead of cats, harpies and gargoyles, instead of pigeons and sparrows, gangs of human vampires, lycanthropes and various unnatural races that inhabited the city, in the training center of Stoker Castle, the vampire warriors were prepared, selected by lineage to receive training to access the honor of belonging to the royal guards, where a long training in all kinds of war arts ruled by ascending ranks, from the Alpha messenger, Even Master Omega, turned the life of young vampires into a pleasant ordeal, which made them feel proud of belonging to these clans, the messenger Alpha was the beginner, the master Omega was the one who had passed all the tests, obtaining at the same time the privilege of being immune to the sun's rays, thus turning them into diurnal warriors, which is usually the chimera of every known vampire, training to which the inhabitants of Nosferália, citizens considered of lower class, were not entitled because they had been defeated at some point by humans.

As was the case with Valek Deinal.

Every so often a martial arts tournament was held, where the finalists challenged the Omega to obtain the title of champion, the rank of Omega master and the dream of becoming a day warrior; Marcus Dimitri, a powerful vampire warrior of impressive musculature, osten the title of the last 6 tournaments, thus making him the supreme commander of the unnatural legions of Lúa Dark, but that year the tournament had granted new rules and better prizes, King Vlad had decreed the right to the defeated to participate, challenging in stages the different classes of warriors, regardless of race or rank, thus giving the opportunity to warriors like Valek Deinal to rise their rank and stop belonging to the lower classes, all this as a result of the fact that in the last 10 tournaments, none of the 8 Omega masters had been defeated, at the suggestion of his daughter, the beautiful vampire girl with oriental eyes, as an extra prize, the winner of that year would be granted the honor of being her personal guard, becoming this the main target of many young warriors who admired the beautiful Princess, many were obsessed with her incredible beauty and the charm of her oriental eyes, like Valek Deinal, that more than obtaining the rank of Omega master of the kingdom, he did it to be close to her, since a strange fixation he had for the Princess from the first time he saw her as a spectator in a tournament, until he was given the opportunity to participate in one, thought it was the only opportunity he had to be near her, since it could not be removed from his head.
