"Are you crazy? This is the Brotherhood of Soulblood, they are very powerful vampires that can easily kill hundreds of men in an instant, they killed the three last parties that tried to take them on and they were more then you," She paused, "Maybe I should just trust you, follow me," She got up from her throne and walked down the steps and gestured for them to follow her into a small room behind the throne room. She walked to the other side of the table in the middle of the room. Gold and Miia walked to the table, "This is the village, the cave they use as a base is there," She pointed at cross on the map, we don't know much about the cave but what I do know is that there are 3 or 4 Blood lords in there, with around 100 regular vampires," Miia asked a question.

"Um, what are Blood lords?"

"You don't know? They are elder vampires that use dark magic, of tiers 1-7, normally, but rumor has it that their leader can use the tier ten dark magic-,"

"Gates of Hell," Gold interrupted, "A very powerful spell but that can easily be countered, I think that I know how to prevent it from working the way he wants it too."

"H-how is that?"

"Your priest said that he masters up to tier 9 holy based magic, right?" She nodded, "Therefore he can use Dominion Authority and Light of the Heavens, a paralyzing spell when cast against the undead and demons, then call for the Dominion Authority and its Holy Smite, that would be the only way that a human could stop the gates from opening."

"Wait, you said human, why?" She looked down at Miia, "Are you reptilian? Like under that mask of yours?"

"What a rude question," Miia interrupted, "Master doesn't need to answer that, he is helping you, you should be grateful."

"Miia, please, don't be rude either," Gold said as he lifted the chain, "How far away is the cave from here?"

"You aren't planning on going there at night, are you? They will be too powerful."

"Yes I am, some people say it is the time when vampires are strongest, but I think the opposite, like many races, they grow cocky and overestimate themselves when they believe that they are stronger than their enemies, so going there at night would give me a chance to play with that and force them to make mistakes," He laughed, "But don't worry, I will return with their leader's head by morning," He turned and heat to the door. She ran after him.

"Wait, let me get you a guide so that you can find the cave easily," She grabbed his arm, "William!" A man appear quickly as he jogged towards them, "Bring these two to the cave," He was about to ask a question, "Yes, that cave, they will return by morning with the vampire leader's head, if they do and you lead them there, I will rewards you as well as them, so bring them there."

"Y-yes, my lady," He bowed, "Follow me, I will bring you there."

They followed him and once they crossed the gates, Miia asked him a question, "Human, aren't you scared?" She joked, "Aren't humans nicknamed the cowardly ra-!" Gold violently pulled the chain and looked down at her, she knew he was glaring at her, she rubbed her throat, "Sorry, master," She looked down at the floor as they walked.

"I am scared," He said trying not to sound like it, "The last time I did this, the party never returned and it was during the day, but why are you going during the night? Vampires are stronger."

"Like humans and most races, it makes them cocky and overconfident because they think they are powerful," Gold explained, "I count on using that to make them reckless, I think I should be able to get a little time to plan against them with that," William stopped walking and interrupted Gold.

"Well, um, I won't go closer to the cave," He stammered, "The entrance is just there, but still, be careful, you never know, and, um, oh yeah, may the Creator be with you."

"Thank you," Gold said as William turned around and began walking away, "Now, Miia," He removed her collar and put it around his belt, "You still have to listen to me, even without it on, and if I tell you to do something, you listen, understood?"

"Yes, master," She said cheerfully as they walked towards the entrance of the cave.

As they approached, they noticed 4 guards. They had glowing red eyes but lacked the visible teeth. They got closer and the guards moved forwards to attack them. Gold snapped his fingers and Miia leaped forwards. She slashed at them, one by one, jumping from target to target as blood flowed onto the floor. She looked down at them and sighed. Gold pet her head as he walked past her. They entered the cave. It was lit with torches and there was evident signs that people lived here, with scattered bottles, half-finished food, beds, tables, chairs, as if the cave was an inn or a large living home. The air was humid and thick, drops of water fell from the ceiling, breaking the cave's silence. They walked down, deeper and deeper into the cave and soon found themselves in a corridor with two overhead passages. Gold noticed three vampires standing on the passage in front of them. One of them snapped his fingers and a dozen of vampire slaves jumped down blocking Gold and Miia in the passage.

"What is a human and a reptilian doing here at this time? Are you lost?" He laughed, "Haven't you heard that vampires are deadly foes and that they gain more powers during the night? Well, I never tasted reptilian blood, I feel like she would make a good, personal vampire slave," He held up his hand, "Tier 4, cast Dark Bolt," A black bolt flew towards Miia, "This shouldn't kill her, well, I hope," He laughed as the bolt left his hand and flew towards Miia. Gold jumped in front of Miia and cast his own spell.

"Tier 9, cast Negative Barrier," A black barrier rose, causing the bolt to bounce back towards the vampire, who dodged it, "Miia, how about you deal with the slaves? Have some fun, tier 3, cast Increase Inertia, tier 7, Major Agility, now go, my beauty, do a good job, if you do, maybe I will reward you," She looked at him with an eager face, she was smiling ear to ear, he gestured for her to attack them and she leaped at the slaves, slashing at them and enjoying each kill, "Now, you 3, what do you think about fire?" They rose their hands and cast more spells at him, "My, my, tier 9, cast Major Deflect" The bolts bounced away wildly, "Now, my turn, tier 5, cast Dragon Flames," A wave of flames left his hand and engulfed the three vampires as they screamed in agony. Gold laughed as their burning bodies fell quiet, he turned to see Miia finishing the last slave. She brought her claws down through his throat as he coughed blood onto her. Gold shook his head as she returned to his side, "Do you want red scales now? You tired of your green ones?" She looked at the ground as if he was scolding her, "Hey, I didn't want to sound mean," He rubbed her head, "You want to kill some more things?" She instantly was cheerful, her eyes were filled with happiness as they continued down, deeper into the cave, "Were they easy?"

"Yes, master," She smiled at him, "Thank you, um, can I ask what the reward is, master?" He looked down at her and laughed.

"We will see back at the town, I will need to rest after this so, we will see," He rubbed her head as they continued to walk and soon after they arrived at the entrance of a room, "Would you look at this, wow," They entered the massive room. They entered and found themselves in the center of an arena like room that was overlooked by hundreds of seats, all filled with vampires and their slaves. In front of them, sitting on a throne, their leader was sitting with three Blood Lords behind him He laughed as they entered. Miia sat on her knees next to Gold as the leader rose and began talking.
