" I think it's a good idea to stop and get a change of clothes, we will have to board the ferry, to cross from the mainland to Sky, and it's better to blend in, our clothes make us stand out more than I like " said Zack.
"I agree these clothes represent what I was, a victim a weak human .
But now I am so much more ,thanks to the blood of the king ,I am a vampire"said Louise Black proudly .
" Louise my dear, you have my blood given directly to you from my wrist, if a vampire turned you then you would have become a fledgling vampire, a lower rank vampire .
Louise you drank my blood ,the blood of the King of Vampires , and my blood is very different from any other vampire, you my darling are a Vampire Noble and therefore much more powerful , not only are you a Vampire Noble, you also have a special trait a magic power, separate from your vampire powers, which all noble vampires have at different levels.
This magic power ,comes from my blood alone ,and only those turned by me have this power .
You will have to discover what you're power is, even I do not know what magic you have, and I look forward to discovering it with you, my dear lady Louise Black " said Zack.
They stopped in a town and went clothes shopping.
Zack and Ninx both were wearing their new black suits and overcoats .
Nyla and Louise were both dressed in black pants, with knee high black boots, and a black blouse with gold trim.
Both girls wore a gold belt, that looked like a serpent, wrapped around the waist of both girls .
They both carried an overcoat over their arm , and both women looked stunningly beautiful.
They had dressed in modern clothes, but the pride of Vampires and the dark elves, ensured they did it with style .
They would blend in ,in the way that the clothes they were now wearing ,were not unusual, the unintended consequence of the clothes was they added to their beauty.
Two Vampires and two dark elves ,continued their journey to the Isle of sky.
The group had reached the ferry, and were now on the last part of their journey to the Isle of sky.
The group had made the uneventful crossing to the Isle of Sky and after departing from the ferry they drove towards the hills towards a place known as the fairy glen.
"Zack the gateway will take us to Arcadia, and it's a land where all magic comes from ,the gateways are created by the magic of Arcadia ,and link with all worlds throughout the universe .
This is why we can't create a portal to Arcadia ,wherever a natural gateway appears, the magic of the gateway prevents the opening of a portal.
The realm of magic ,or Arcadia is filled with powerful beasts.
We will have to be very vigilant, or it will cost us our lives .
We will have the chance to grow stronger , with every beast we defeat we will grow in strength and power , my King this is a chance for you to evolve "said Ninx.
" I understand and I thank you Ninx for the information " said Zack.
The group had arrived at the base of the fairy glade they began their hike up into the hills of Sky .
After walking for an hour the group came upon the stone circles, of the fairy glade of the Isle of Sky.
The group entered the circle at fairy glade.
Ninx raised his arms, and in the language of the dark elves, spoke the words to open the gateway to Arcadia.
The glade shimmered in blue light, and the group found themselves transported to another world.
Stretching out before them was a large open plain and in the distance snow capped mountains .
Behind them was a dense forest , shining down on them from above were two moons, it was night time in Arcadia.
The night creatures were stirring, they could sense the presence of outsiders and it bothered them , the creatures of Arcadia didn't like outsiders , they would come to hunt them from time to time, from many different worlds, sometimes they would Succeed and kill the creatures of Acadia
Sometimes the outsiders would die in the attempt to gain power ,by killing the creatures of Arcadia.
On very rare occasions the outsiders had come to learn, to gain wisdom and knowledge of magic , though study and research and had remained peaceful .
The creatures watched and waited, time would tell if the outsiders were a threat or not.
"Ok so it's pretty here, but where is it that we need to go? Where is the sword ,and how do we find it" said Nyla.
The plants were indeed beautiful all the trees and plants gave off a soft golden glow.
" This place is definitely beautiful , everything seems give off a trace of magic .
It seems that we will have to be cautious in this realm of magic " said Zack.
" I believe that we can use the Blood Armor, to help us find the location of the king's sword .
I can cast a spell on the armor to act like a locator crystal .
The armor and the sword are connected, the magic that was used in the creation of the sword and the armor are connected, after all the sword and the armor are a set ,when combined they reach their full potential and power .
"A power that only the true king can wield and use to its full capacity " said Ninx.
"Ok we have a plan so let's get started I don't want to stay here in the open like this for too long, I get the feeling that we are being watched " said Zack.
Zack took the armor from his storage dimension , and placed it on the ground in front of Ninx , and stepped out of the way of the warlock.
Ninx bent down over the armor on the ground before him ,and he began to cast his spell.
A red glow appeared on the armor for a moment before disappearing ,and the armor once again looked as it did before the spell was cast.
" My king please put on your armor " said Ninx.
Zack approached his armor with the thought of putting it on ,and the armor disappeared from the ground, and reappeared on his body .
Ninx approached his King and touched the breast plate of the Kings armor the silver breast plate emblazoned with a dragon suddenly glowed again though only faintly ,my lord the armor will glow brighter, when it senses the sword ,please try a direction away from this circle of stones .
When the armor glows we will know that we are heading in the right direction " Ninx said.
Zack walked towards the forest and nothing happened , he then walked towards the mountains and the armor started to glow .
" The sword appears to be somewhere in the direction of the mountains " said Nyla excitedly.
The group slowly began their long trek toward the mountains, and their goal the sword of the king.
The morning passed without event ,even though they could all sense, the ever increasing feeling of being watched .
The group made their way towards the mountains it took them all day to cross the open plain to the edge of the large forest at the base of mountains .
The group of travelers decided to make camp and continue their journey in the morning .
Nyla and Ninx prepared a fire and went into the forest to hunt an hour later the two returned carrying a deer that they had killed ,
Nyla skinned and dressed the deer and slowly it was cooked over the fire , the group ate the meat and when they had finished they could feel a tingle of magic enter their bodies .
" It seems that all creatures of this world contained magic ,to varying degrees and by consuming the meat of the animal ,they had gained a small proportion of the magic that the creature possessed .
It took them an entire day to cross the plain and another day to cross the forest finally they were at the base of the highest mountain , the armor now glowed brighter than before .
" We are definitely on the right path , I believe that the sword is somewhere up there " said Ninx pointing up at the mountain .
The group left the cover of the forest ,and began the climb up the mountain side, the group reached the opening of a large tunnel, near the top of the mountain ,the opening was closed by two large stone doors .
The large doors stood thirty feet high and twenty feet wide , the doors had writing engraved into the stone , the writing glowed a soft blue colour as the group approached .
Zack pushed on the doors, with all his considerable strength and nothing happened.
" My lord the door has been sealed by powerful magic ,I believe I will be able to open the doors, but it will take me some time" said Ninx.
" It appears that we are going to have to camp here, until you can get the doors to open Ninx" said Zack.
Ninx sat on the ground before the doors, and began to meditate ,and as he did he constantly chanted .
Ninx was using his magic, to find the right key to open the doors.
