With a regal air, Kurayami, disguised as Valerian, raised his hand in a commanding gesture. The deliberate folding of two fingers signaled a clear directive to dismiss the messenger. The fluid motion from his raised hand was a distinct order for the messenger to depart. It was an authoritative and unambiguous sign, indicative of the imminent journey towards his mansion and the awaiting imperial escort.
Kurayami stood at the forefront, his shapeshifter entourage trailing behind him. After dismissing the messenger with a commanding gesture, he led the way towards the royal wagon that belonged to Valerian, positioned in front of the lab. With a regal air, he took his seat inside the wagon, his followers arranging themselves accordingly. One of the shapeshifter vampires seamlessly transformed into the driver, taking the reins to guide the horses and set the wagon in motion. The rest of the group followed on foot.
