Chereads / The vampire King / Chapter 12 - Blood Armor

Chapter 12 - Blood Armor

Zack was driving the car through the night .

In the back seat of the car, the woman was transitioning into a vampire .

" The woman my lord ,she will need blood soon "said Nyla.

" Then we will have to make sure that she gets what she needs " said Zack.

Zack drove down a side street off the main road, people were making their way home from nightclubs, it was around two a.m and the sun would rise in a few hours.

Zack parked the car on the side of the street and used his vampire senses to find a suitable meal for the woman .

Zack had spent so much time in the human world, that he couldn't imagine killing anyone who was in his eyes an innocent, even before he spent time as a human when he was the King of vampires he would hunt the wicked .

The dark elves were created several thousand years ago by vampires .

Vampires gave their blood to elves ,and the blood changed them making them creatures of the dark .

All of the dark legion received the vampire blood directly from the king ,and that made them a little different from any other dark elf.

The blood of the King insured loyalty ,and gave the dark legion more power and strength than a dark elf that was created by a normal vampire .

The dark legion would gain strength from the wickednes contained in the blood of humans ,the more evil the human was the more satisfying they were to the members of the dark legion.

Zack spotted a man who was following two women down the street, Zack could sense the evil intent coming from the man , he was going to harm the two women .

" Nyla there is your target" Zack said pointing at the man .

Nyla left the car with a smile on her face and quickly grabbed the man from behind ,she turned him around in a quick movement and hit him on the head with the palm of her hand, the man slumped to the ground .

Nyla grabbed him before he hit the ground and carried him back to the car ,it all happened to fast for the man to react, and no one witnessed the incident .

Nyla dragged him into the car ,and Zack resumed the drive towards stonehenge.

The woman in the back seat of the car stirred and opened her eyes, fangs grew in her mouth and her hands began to form into claws ,her eyes turned red and her complexion had become pale ,her skin had become flawless.

Her hair that had been a dark brown, turned black and she had grown in height, she was a woman of five feet now she was five feet eight inches tall.

Her breasts had grown too , and the woman had become extremely beautiful .

" I am so hungry " she said.

" Feed my dear drink the blood of the wicked " said Zack.

She didn't hesitate and grabbed the man next to her and bit his neck ,the blood flowed into her mouth and she swallowed it down , a feeling of contentment came over her as she drank down every last drop ,before the man died .

The woman could feel strength and power surge through her body , she had never felt anything like it before .

Zack had been driving through the countryside having left London behind, and pulled the car over to the side of the road, it was still dark and the road that they were on had no other traffic .

Nyla and Ninx removed the dead man from the car, and placed him on the side of the road .

Ninx waved him hands in a circular motion, and said in dark elvish the word for fire ,then the man's body was engulfed in white hot flames that turned him to ash ,including his bones.

A black mark on the ground was all that remained of the body.

Nyla and Ninx returned to the car ,and the journey to Stonehenge continued.

" What is your name " said Zack.

"My name is Louise Fallon "said the woman.

" I will give you a new name now that you are a Vampire " said Zack.

" You will now be named Louise Black , a fitting name for a noble vampire such as yourself " said Zack.

" Thank you my lord " said Louise.

The sun would rise in a little over an hour

The car turned into the car park in front of the information center and bookshop, and parked the car.

The group exited the car and walked toward Stonehenge .

Zack could sense the group of humans ,that patrol the monument of Stonehenge at night to prevent any vandalism near by.

"Ninx hide us from the eyes and ears of all"said Zack.

Ninx spun shadows around them, and cast a fog all around, that quickly spread across Salisbury plain and shrouded Stonehenge.

Then he silenced any sound from the group, only they could hear and see each other no mortal could perceive them.

The group stopped inside the center circle of the stones.

Ninx raised his arms to the sky and gathered power .

From the stones blue energy was forming ,and rising from the ground white light sprang forth .

The two energies rushed towards Ninx ,and suddenly Ninx was engulfed by the energies.

The energies merged with his own magic . And suddenly Ninx rose into the air ,engulfed in purple light.

Powerful magic energy poured into Ninx, as he spoke the words of power in dark elvish.

" Reveille Portalis, Aperi Ianuam" said Ninx.

Beams of purple energy shot forth from the body of Ninx, like lightning and struck the stones ,suddenly the world seemed to shift.

The world didn't shift ,it was them that had moved ,they found themselves in another world.

The stones of Stonehenge, or the rings of Elginon in this world, were like they had recently been constructed .

Ninx was the first to speak as he returned to the ground ,and the purple light that had surrounded him moments before had now gone.

"My king we are here ,inside the cave in the side of a hill ,is the guardian and the Blood Armor "said Ninx.

With Zack's Vampire eyes, he could clearly see the cave in the distance.

"My King we can not go any further ,the test with the dragon guardian, you can only do alone "said Ninx.

Zack opened his personal Storage dimension, something that all vampires had,a skill that created a small pocket dimension, created by the mind of the vampire.

It was a place where one could store Inanimate objects , such as armor or weapons.

Zack took his sword out from his storage dimension, and walked towards the cave without a word .

Zack made his way across the open plain toward the cave .

Zack had walked the twenty miles, in a little over fifteen minutes.

He stopped outside of the cave , taking a deep breath, Zack focused on his senses and sent his mind inside the cave, while his body remained outside the cave .

This was a form of astral projection.

Ever since Zack had evolved into his current form of Vampire lord ,and regained his memories and control of them ,by defeating and consuming the beast ,he instinctively knew how to use his powers.

The projection of Zack entered the cave , in the center of a large cave was a raised stone platform, upon it was the Blood Armor of the Vampire King .

The large sleeping body of a dragon ,that had scales with stars floating in a sea as black as night, was wrapped around the platform that held the King's Blood Armor.

Zack brought his spirit back to his body and readied himself ,before he walked forward and entered the dragon's lair.

The dragon lifted his head that was the size of a small car and looked at Zack .

" Who is brave enough ,or foolish enough to enter the lair of a dragon ,and wake him from his slumber"? Said the dragon .

" I am Zachary Vincent Eldridge the true King of Vampires " said Zack .
