Zack had gone into a coma like state that had lasted for several hours, while his body was breaking down and rebuilding over and over again.
Suddenly the pain stopped and Zack slowly regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and stood up .
Looking around he saw the dead body of the beast he had killed, he silently thanked the beast for the power he had gained.
Zack slowly headed out the cave back the way he had come, with every moment that passed more of the power he had gained integrated with his body.
The memories and personality of the King, and the memories and personalities of all his past human lives, had merged and integrated creating a new personality that of Zack Vincent Eldridge the Vampire King.
Zac had evolved no longer a vampire noble knight he was now a vampire lord.
Focusing his thoughts out of his back bat wings sprouted forth.
Zack flapped his wings and leapt into the air, he flew up high above the forest into the night sky .
Zack scanned the forest below he could detect the life of all the individuals creatures below him, he focused his thoughts on the life force, and was able to pick out the difference between the animals and the the supernatural creatures that inhabited the forest, most importantly he could detect higher life forms and he homed in on the one he sensed below knowing it was Ninx .
Zack landed in front of Ninx .
Ninx instantly bowed before his King .
"I am so pleased to see you, I can sense your strength and power have greatly increased, congratulations on your victory my lord "said Ninx.
"How are you feeling Zack " said Ninx.
" I feel more confident and more in control of my mind .
I remember everything from each life I have lived,I remember the time when I was the king ,and I remember how I was betrayed.
I feel stronger than before ,yet I know I have a long way to go before I am at my full power and potential.
I have much to do before I can return as the King "said Zack.
" Yes my king there is much to do, and I will do everything I can to help you with returning you to the throne .
Zack we must journey to the human world, your armor the blood armor of the king is hidden in the human world and protected by a dragon "said Ninx.
" A dragon on earth how is that possible?"asked Zack.
" The dragon is the guardian of the blood armor of the Vampire King ,and although the armor and dragon are on the human world they are hidden by powerful magic.
The dragon will sleep until someone tries to take the armor .
This will not be an easy task my lord ,it is but the first quest you have to go through on your journey to reclaim the throne of the Lands of Night" said Ninx.
" We shall return to the dark city my lord and gather what we need ,tomorrow we will open a portal to the human world ,and begin your quest to reclaim the blood armor of the Vampire King ." Said Ninx.
The dark elf lead his master back to the hidden city of the dark elves .
