Let me take you on a journey with me into the Cosmo of the supernatural, A universe that holds different realms that inhabit different Incredible races. Well, among all realms stood the most significant one, the realm known as "Archill" a place not just for supreme ones but home to the most powerful celestial being. the ones that come next in power after God. These people are called.....
"THE PROTECTORS...."
Archill is one of the biggest realm in the whole of Cosmo, it inhabits races of all kinds and it's divided into seven continents and Three hundred kingdoms with different races entitle to be rulers, dukes, and nobles. The Kingdom known as Dracu is one of the Three hundred kingdoms in Archill.
Dracu kingdom is mostly filled with vampires, pure-blooded and half-blooded. The majority of the Elites in the kingdom are Pure blooded vampires, even the Protectors are but of different species. They are three species of vampires and each had a label for recognition.
First, are the main night creatures, who resurrect and loom in the dark, they are considered the strongest of the vampire species, with red hair and black eyes. Even with the gloomy weather, these creatures have one or two with the weather. Being dark is Worst, but resurrecting from it is... Void. Therefore, they are labeled as "Dark" with an emblem of a skeleton head. this creature does not suck blood, but rather extracts life energy from the host or even a crowd of people in order to sustain itself. They are the most sensitive to sunlight, they experience blisters and pain after a short time in the sun. They are the only vampires capable of the shape shifting feature and can even change into vampire bats.
Second is the 'Palvint' This species is cursed as history might have recorded, Rised from the line of dark demons from the 'lower realm', they are pale in Nature with their blue eyes and blue hair which is slightly out of the ordinary for vampires. unlike, the Dark creatures, the Palvint These vampires appear to be very human other than a slightly pointy pair of ears like the Elves and sometimes with an elongated jaw. They are the bloodthirsty type that relies on blood for survival. Aside from being a bloodsucker they are counted as the most dangerous fighters in the Kingdom of Dracu and sustain being under the sun for a long period of time. Their Emblem is a dying witch.
The third is The 'Axis' The line of the protectors, Pure-blooded vampires with ordained Abilities and spirit guardians, who are birth from the existence of dark and light magic. Even though the 'Dark' is the strongest, and the 'Palvint' most dangerous, the 'axis' is considered special in all ways. They do their things their own way and rely on mother nature for survival. their Emblem is a chimera beast.

*The-ProTecTors-castle*
Bell Rang, and activities begin. It's lunchtime and it's a culture for the entire Vlad family to dine together, at this time of the day, the castle is busy and noisy. The Vlad family is made up of Ten. Vlad Nicholas is the Head of the protectors, and Lilith is a gorgeous wife with six children. Raul, Bianca, Xander, Talon, Celeste, Amber and Their unborn child making the kids seven.
As they strode from all parts of the castle into the beautiful and luxurious Garden where the dining is, each took a seat. Nicholas being the head sat on the table head, on his right is, Raul his first son and heir to his rule, and on his left his wife. Lilith. Giving out a small prayer, they begin eating. Today the Vlad family invited a guest over to join them for lunch, he was no other than Orpheus. Unlike other vampires, the Vlad family stood out best in appearance. Pure silk white hair that length on their knees, Red eyes and a mole on the upper lip.
"Pardon me, lords, if I may speak" Orpheus lowered his head courteously, and Nicholas nodded in approval of his upcoming words. "I will start by saying thanks for inviting me over for lunch, it's indeed a great opportunity to seat among the protectors of the realm..."
"It's no big deal Orpheus, my husband tends to satisfy his guest before their leave and you being an ally to us, makes you more important so feel free and comfy" Lilith was the one who spoke up with a wide smile on her face. Her dimples reveal as she smiled.
"Oh yes, My lady, am enjoying myself with your nice meal and beautiful view in the garden, it's been the best I have seen" Orpheus Praised.
"So how was your trip with my brothers on the patrol?" Bianca winked at Orpheus, eagerly waiting for an answer. Even with raw beauty, Bianca still applied some color to her face making her look too much of being beautiful. she inherited her gorgeous features from her mother. Her hair is styled in a 'Choppy lob' A bun with bob strings of hair falling over her chin and collarbone.
"It was fine, lady Bi" Orpheus responded shortly after locking gaze with lady Bianca, her red lips like strawberry curl into a smile. She places a sausage in her mouth, chewing gradually, savoring every piece of it.
"Fine? I guess they were a pain in the ass" Bianca said while using serviette tissues to wipe the corner of her mouth, where she felt a fragment of food stuck.
"No.. not at all Lady Bi, but I was really surprised and impressed how confidential the crown lord and the young lord are in this battle they took upon themselves" Orpheus smirked.
"My sons are the ones, I can boast off in all Eternity... as long as it's off for some good" Nicholas responded.
"Forgive me, my lord, I may have a slight doubt in them this morning but hearing this from you, I bet they are the best in all, I have heard their glorious works around the Cosmo but never have I seen them with my naked eyes." Orpheus said.
"If you weren't leaving today, I might have had a duel with you. maybe next time" Raul spoke.
"Yes my lord, maybe my next visit.. how tragic will it be then...." The whole family glanced at him, feeling their eyes on him, he coughed "For whosoever loses, and am pretty sure I will be the one, so it's a tragic end for me" Orpheus added.
The family made an 'oh' sound in response to his words which at first sounded like danger.
"Besides the Elf's kingdom might just be one of the biggest in Archill, it's easy to take on compare to my sons.." Nicholas's mouthful said "Since they're imposing threats on Dracu.. it's our duty to protect it," he added.
"Big and weak.." Orpheus drawled.
"I wouldn't say that Orpheus, do not label them as weak as father said.. compare to us it's easy" Talon interrupted.
"They're not weak, it just happens to be, We are stronger" Xander puffed his chest with pride.
Orpheus nodded his head in acknowledgment. lunch ended with the family having a great time with their curious guest, Orpheus. Nicholas has taken Orpheus on a stroll in the family garden before seeing him off to his own kingdom. As for the lords, they get themselves ready to go meet the Grendels.
*********************
Mid-evening the Vlad lords set for the Grendel castle, Back at the castle Nicholas gently combed his Lilith hair gently while she sat on a stool facing a large mirror.
"You've been a Lazy Ruler ever since Raul grew up," Lilith said, Nicholas stopped combing as he slowing brush his finger on her neck region, then plant a kiss on it.
"That would help our boy grow faster, besides he has the full support of his brothers, everything is going perfectly" He rasped in her ears.
"Hmm you are right my lord, i love this family"
"It just happen to be you birth the perfect kids, and I can't wait to see my unborn child.." His hand travel down to her plump belly, and she places her hands on his hand.
"Me too" she added with a nice smile.
****The woods****
"What do you think of Orpheus? that guy looks courageous, no wonder Father made an alliance with him" Talon said.
"I don't like that guy" Xander rasped. "Am sensing this bad premonition encircling him" He added.
"I do not know much of him, who is he?" Talon asked.
"Third son of duke 9 of the Vihrat kingdom" Raul answered.
"So he's a Seelie.., but why have an alliance with us, when they are closely related to the elves" Talon questioned curiously.
"Everybody wants to be with the bigger fish, Talon. besides Being similar in every way doesn't make them one" Raul giggles with a proportional expression.
"They both control Nature, no big difference between the Seelies and Elves" He rolled his eyes "Hopes father knows what he's doing"
"Hyah!!"
They chorus, as they increase the pace of their horse, while the neighing horses and footsteps running sounds spread across the woods. The lords were accompanied by 10 of their most trusted guards, from different races as they travel to the Next city where the Elite lived.
After a few minutes of the ride, they arrived at their destination. The Grendel Mansion. the Grendel is one of the respected elites in Dracu kingdom, The large metal gate opens as the lords ride in, stopping at the entrance where the Grendel family stood to welcome them in. There were three Grendel families waiting to receive them, Two men Dress in long velvet cloaks and a lady putting on an extravagant lace gown.
Their appearance and the aura they emit could easily tell they are vampires from the palvint race, as they gorgeously walk to Receive their guests, the men Gene-reflect while the lady just bowed her head just as a lady should do.
Receiving a Nod from the lords the men stood up as they all walked into the big Mansion, going down the halls, and taking their guests to the tea house where they held their meeting while having Tea to smooth the talk. The matter was so serious but all through it, Xander has been doing all the talks, Raul conclude and Talon just Nodded, supporting his brother and stealing glances at the serious noble princess.
It's a bit inappropriate to have a lady join in a meeting. it's rare but her being one of the pillars of the Grendel family gave her the Excuse to be there. At last, the meeting came to an end. Harthe the head of the Grendel said something that perks the lord's curiousity.
They all left for the great wall of the city. getting there, they alighted from their horses. Taking the long stairs made of bricks, to the upper layer of the wall, a few people were chained with ropes around their necks. with their tattered clothes, rough hairs and pale skin, pointed noses, sharp claws, and emerald eyes. One could easily tell they were witches, who have might have gone against the rules of Dracu.
A glint of help flashes through the eyes of the three women on seeing the protectors, They were made to seat on their butts, and reluctantly they cried for help as they know they are about to die only the protectors can save them.
"They commit a grave time my lord, so please take pleasure in sending them off," Harthe said.
"I do not take pleasure in taking the life of my subject except he or she is my enemy on the battlefield," Raul said in a profound manner.
"I understand my lord, but anyone who broke the law of dracu is an enemy and threat to all, and such people died on the penalty of death to teach those who had a thought of disobeying" Harthe shrugged.
"And keen are you with our laws?"
"....?"
"Do what you feel like, Harthe but just know.. not everyone is virtuous" Raul grunted. Harthe smiled, he signal his men to proceed, they throw off the first lady, the second one, when it was the last old maiden turn. a voice thundered among them... loud enough to make them stop. it was no other than Talon's voice.
Talon had noticed the old maiden eyes darts everywhere and mutters some strange language, he walked to her and squat down close to her.
"You were muttering something, old maiden.. tell me," Talon said.
The woman said nothing to him, Giving up he stood up and turn to leave, and what happens next surprised, everyone. The woman jolted up, she hops on the lord using her sharp claws to dig into the neck region.
"Brother" both the lords shouted.
Xander immediately summoned his energy source, a white light covering his hand, he control the woman up using telekinesis and threw her over the walls. Lord Talon immediately felt numb as he stumbled and fall to the ground.
"What is the meaning of this Lord Harthe????" Raul roared, his face red with anger.
