Chapter 578 - 54

By the time your training was complete, you were a physical powerhouse—a force to be reckoned with. No mortal can stand against you, and although physical strength does little in the face of an elder vampire's superior might, martial prowess gets you one step closer to evening the odds.

You wake at nightfall feeling hungrier, but focused and resolved, your mind fresh and ready to face the challenges of the Hunt.

You stand in front of the mirror to get your appearance in order and a middle-aged man stares back at you, face just starting to show a hint of world-weariness. Of course, if you'd been allowed to age naturally, you'd be one of the oldest mortals alive by now, so you suppose you should be grateful for your relative youthful glow.

You pull a plain, white shirt over your head and turn away from the mirror. This is no time to be concerned with vanity.

A sharp gleam catches your eye from the top of your dresser and you retrieve your Desert Eagle along with the three magazines of ammo you have left. The last Blood Hunt you attended nearly ended you; this time you'll be going in with your eyes open—your weapon loaded.

Outside the bedroom, the main chamber of your haven is quiet, the lights turned down to a neutral "dim" setting. Gerard's absence is conspicuous given the immediacy of tonight's Hunt, but you can't concern yourself with your servant's comings and goings at the moment. You check the ghoul's desk for a note, pleased to find a paper tri-folded in the center with your name written on the outward-facing side. You open it and start to read.

Your sire's servants have instructed me to send you to Bouchard's haven no later than two hours after nightfall. You are permitted, and encouraged, to feed before the engagement. Be well, sir. I'll be here when you return. -Gerard

Well, that answers your question about where you need to be. You walk to the front door and grab your coat. You'll want to be in full fighting form with less Hunger to drag you down. Allowances have been made for you to feed, and you should make good use of them.

Where do you plan to sate your cravings?
