Justin, along with the others, was traveling north.
Kyson frowned and said, "Why did you untie his hands?"
Justin: "Because I feel like we can trust him."
Kyson looked at William and said, "You'd better not be sympathetic to such a person."
William: "I'm really sorry, I decided to help you and make up for everything."
Kyson: "Or maybe you're just looking for an opportunity to exploit Justin's kindness."
Justin stopped and said, "Seems like you forgot how you used to exploit me."
Kyson frowned and said, "Are you comparing me to such a person?"
Justin: "No, I just think we should give everyone a chance."
William thought: "Even though I've been exploiting them all this time, why...?!"
His face twisted.
Mira: "Enough, let's continue on our way."
With Kevin's mistake and what William had done, foreign soldiers came to the vampire continent and took the vampires captive.
A woman: "Please let him go, he's just a child!"
Soldier: "Shut up! You are all our test subjects!" He sneered and slapped the woman.
The soldiers were capturing vampires, regardless of whether they were women or even children.
Kai, seeing this scene, thought: "This is not good at all, they have much better weapons!"
Albert came to Kai and said: "We need to escape quickly, if we stay here, they'll capture us too."
Kai clenched his teeth in anger and his fist tightened.
Suddenly, a girl screamed: "No! I don't want to go with you!"
Albert quickly ran towards the soldiers and knocked them all out. He then picked up the girl and fled with her.
Albert put the girl down and said: "You need to be more careful." He smiled.
The girl looked into Albert's eyes and said: "Thank you, prince." She smiled.
Albert smiled and said: "Let's get out of here together."
Kai: "I'm going to find Lilia, let's meet in the forest."
Albert: "Alright, take care of yourself." He smiled.

While the city was in chaos, Justin decided not to lose hope and traveled to other lands in search of a new solution.
After a long journey, Justin and the others reached a new land.
A man approached Justin and said, "Welcome to our land, how can I help you?"
Kyson: "Aren't you afraid that I'm a vampire?"
Man: "No, because all the people in our land are vampires."
Kyson said in surprise: "You're all vampires?! What happened to the humans here?!"
Man: "We all became vampires."
Kyson sighed with relief and said: "I'm relieved, I thought you massacred the humans."
Man: "Young man, you must have had a very hard life, but now everything is different."
Justin: "What do you mean?"
The man looked at Justin and said: "You are the one who changed the fate of this vampire, whatever happened between the two of you was destiny."
Mira: "Destiny? Are you saying it's destiny that we're here?"
William: "How ridiculous, I don't believe in things like destiny."
Justin frowned and said: "Why should I believe you?"
Man: "In the past, you and your sister were captured by a woman who treated you like her dolls."
Justin said in surprise: "How do you know that?!"
Kyson: "How do you know about us?"
Man: "This is all part of a thousand-year-old prophecy."
Mira: "A prophecy? You must know a lot, right?"
Man: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Dorian, and I'm a historian."
William laughed and said: "What a strange name, you vampires are always weird."
Kyson looked at William with a frown and said: "At least we aren't as hateful as you humans."
William: "Sorry, I didn't mean to mock, I'm just very excited." He smiled.
Dorian: "It seems this foreigner is very curious about the history of vampires."
Mira excitedly said: "What do you know? Can you explain everything to us?"
Dorian: "Of course, but first, follow me." He smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dorian led the others to what seemed to be a church. Moonlight streamed through the stained-glass ceiling, illuminating the hall.
Kyson: "This looks like an old church."
Dorian: "Yes, many books written here detail the history of the emergence of vampires."
Mira: "One question, do vampire powers awaken with the red moon?"
Dorian smiled and said: "That's almost correct. Please sit down so I can explain everything to you."
Everyone sat on the church benches. Dorian stood before them to explain everything.
Dorian: "In truth, all vampires were once human."
Kyson said in surprise: "So, that means we're all kind of human?!"
Dorian nodded and said: "Yes, but humans with special and terrifying powers."
William, leaning back, said: "Of course, vampires are humans turned into bloodthirsty monsters."
Kyson angrily said: "Who are you calling a monster?!"
William: "Am I wrong?"
Dorian: "A thousand years ago, the first vampire emerged under the light of the red moon. He was able to absorb the red power with the help of a special crystal, gaining immense power, but at the cost of becoming bloodthirsty."
William: "What happened next? Did he attack other people?"
Dorian: "He was shunned by those who loved him. The townspeople imprisoned him in a castle to ensure he wouldn't harm anyone."
Justin: "And the vampire, filled with bitterness from being shunned, decided to take revenge, right?"
Dorian: "Actually, no. He never wanted to harm anyone."
Kyson said in surprise: "Then what caused the number of vampires to increase?"
William: "Well, obviously, some exploitative people decided to harness his power."
Dorian: "Exactly, humans are always greedy for more power. They decided to force the vampire to reveal the secrets of his powers."
Justin: "What happened next?"
Dorian: "The vampire, harboring intense bitterness from their actions, killed them all to protect his town. But this only increased the people's hatred, and they gave him the title Arcidos."
Kyson said in surprise: "Arcidos is my title!"
Dorian: "That's right, you are a descendant of the first vampire."
William laughed and said: "That's really interesting, the first vampire."
