Nikolai simply watched in silence till Mineah finally went to sleep. He then walked out outside of the stone house. From there, he sat on a rock while staring up at the moon.
There, one of his vultures flew towards him and perched itself on the rock beside him.
"It's nice of you to accompany me on my lonesome, Roro," Nikolai chortled.
Roro simply snorted as it looked at the other two vultures flying around them. They were a family. Roro was the father, and the other two were Ala, the mother, and their son, Kuru. They were his and Dahlia's pets, and it was also she who had named their vultures.
Looking up at the moon, Nikolai let out a sigh as he muttered, "I wonder… How come I'm not just someone normal like my kind? I mean, why do I even have to be picky with human blood, Roro? And why the hell do I have to start craving it every full moon?"
