"The fifth relics," Akiko continued, "are where things get interesting or frightening, depending on who you ask."
"The wielder of the fifth Daydream relic is one of the most terrifying vampires alive. Not just for what he can do with his relic, but because he is also one of the only nine eighth-ringed vampires to exist."
Ezra blinked in mild surprise. He hadn't really considered what it'll look like if a prince was also an eighth ringed vampire.
He knew in the back of his mind that both Prince Caspian and Wrthur were both eighth ringed vampires but he'd never sat down to think about what it actually meant.
There were no ninth ringed vampires and only nine eight-ringed vampires.
Eighth-ringed vampires were legends in their own right and nearly unstoppable. The Monarchy had four, all royalty, while the council had five, all Council elders.
"As you know," Akiko said, "the eighth-ringed ability, Avatar, is quite the gift."
