Ali crouched down slowly and simply watched Seraphina shake in pain as her body flashed between her real vampire form and her fake human disguise.
Then he reached down and with his thick hand, Ali grabbed the roots of her hair and pulled her pained face up. Most of her face still belonged to a gorgeous woman, but the left side of her face under her left eye was all bony bat skin, and one bony wing was popping out her back.
"Who…AM…I?", Ali asked with his cold voice, but his tone was much heavier.
Seraphina felt the horrible pain disappear, and she slowly looked up at Ali, who pulled her by her hair.
"Dragonborn", she said weakly, not daring to look into his eyes.
"WHO…AM….I", Ali repeated this time, pulling her up even closer.
She shook from fear of that horrible pain returning and opened her mouth to answer, "Ali, your Ali".
With his other hand, Ali grabbed her by the throat and pulled her hair back at the same time, making her strain her neck as his thick hand held her by the throat. Her life was literally in his hands.
"WHO…AM…..I", Ali said it once again, but this time there was barely any distance between his face and hers.
Seraphina slowly looked up into his eyes, and her red jewels looked into his black eyes, then lowered by themselves….
"My Master. You are My Master.", she said in defeat. A Royal Blooded vampire, the daughter of the last Vampire Queen, confessed to being a slave to a human. That would have shaken the continent centuries ago…
"That's right, and you dared to attack me", Ali said, Shadow behind him circling the duo like a snake, but this one was massive, and its breathing alone echoed in people's hearts.
"Why? I thought we had a deal, we understood each other.", Ali said.
"I'm sorry", Seraphina said.
"Don't apologise, it's disgusting…", Ali said, looking down at her like some filthy animal.
"I—", Seraphina tried to speak up, but Ali tightened his grip on her throat, stopping her.
"Was it because of your family, the one you wish to build? I heard a vampire will share their blood essence to create another vampire and add them to their family." Ali said, and Seraphina was shocked; he knew such a detail.
Her eyes fluttered hearing that, and Ali continued, "You were unhappy with your family also becoming my slaves, just like you are…", Ali said.
He let go of her and stood up while she stayed on her knees before him, the darkness around them making them look like they were in the dead of night with no moon in the sky.
"How could I? How could I build something that you could destroy with a mere thought? What would happen if the elder saw this? My family's name, everything that my mother worked for, to become the first queen of the night…. All of that would be replaced by me, falling to slavery…. TO A HUMAN", she screamed, letting out her emotions.
'What a child….', Ali thought, looking down at her.
"Then…I will dissolve the blood contract between us, but on two conditions", Ali said, and Seraphina's eyes widened; she even hugged his leg and looked up at him, desperate.
"Anything", she said, looking up at him, her red eyes shining and her vampiric charm fully activated. Any other man would have succumbed to her; that look of desperation and hope would eat a man from inside out with desire.
"Very soon, I want you to have rivers of blood flood the forest to the south. If I'm satisfied by what you do, then we can go onto the second condition. You will become one of my concubines; I cannot have you simply leave as you know too much about me, Seraphina." Ali said, looking down at her face full of shock.
"If you do those things, then the ring is yours. So is your freedom", he continued.
Seraphina didn't answer right away and just sat there in silence before she let go of his leg and stood up.
"I accept.", she said.
"Good, now go and use that pool to get stronger…That was your last warning, Seraphina. I am not one to show mercy more than once", Ali said, and she nodded before turning into a cloud of bats. The bats flew into the blood spheres and ate them before flying away in the darkness.
'That should hold up until she's all used up. My blood suicide bomber', Ali thought with a smirk, then turned around to look at the hole where his axe was.
Ali raised his hand, and the axe flew up into his hand with blood dripping from it…
'Oh, what's this…', Ali thought as his eyes transformed into the silvery draconic form. He looked down around the viscount's corpse to see slithers of extremely powerful yellow aura flying over his corpse and then dissolving into thin air.
'Level six aura, it's more than twice as dense and heavy as level five. So he would have ranked up if he'd lived long enough. Is that why he gained so much Origin?', Ali thought.
'Level six…That sounds interesting, especially now that I have level five down…', Ali thought as he looked into his Spirit Realm where his aura had drawn out a massive armour now holding the handle of his great sword. The armour wasn't solid yet, just waiting for Ali to rank up and use the denser level aura to build the armour.
Far away, both baronies were rich with the smell of blood, but one more burnt blood than the other. Ali's Dragon sigil was flying over the highest point of each castle, with the people of the baronies standing in the crowd listening to one of the Knights reading off the paper written by Fiona.
Meanwhile, an entourage of carriages was moving to IronPeak. There were no knights stopping them when they got closer and closer to the city. And in the central carriage, the most decorated and biggest carriage, Fiona sat breastfeeding her daughter with her eyes closed.
SLASH
NO STOP I AM YOUR MASTER NOOOO
SLIDE
A massive Wolf Demi-human dragged his noble master through the bloodied manor before the eyes of the other freed slaves and gored him into the hand of the statue in the pretty garden that slaves broke their backs taking care of every day, and yet it was never enough for this man who tortured them every day.
"LET IT OUT", the giant shouted, and the other slaves of the manor wasted no time jumping on the gored noble and beating him until his corpse was nothing but torn pieces of gore and blood on the statue.
"Here", a Demi-human warrior from the camp in the forest handed the giant an axe, and the two ran out of the manor to go free the others and slaughter every noble they laid eyes on. Nobody was spared before the Demi-human uprising, with the poor of the slums joining in too. Chaos flooded IronPeak in the areas where Rook allowed it to, other places were blocked by his men who didn't allow the blood hungry to enter.
At the same time, Keith, Rook, and Kaelyra were sitting in one of the rich mansions with dozens of tied-up nobles and rich people. They were the ones Keith and Kaelyra didn't kill on orders from Fiona; she wanted them alive until she got there.
CREAK
The carriages finally stopped before the city gates, where Demi-human warriors stood blocking the gate and stopping anyone from escaping the city, including the nobles who came in for the auction and any resident of IronPeak who tried to escape the slaughter and wrath of the slaves.
The Knights inside the city were holed up in either one of the two Knight Families, as every time a knight so much as raised their sword against anybody, they suddenly exploded in a massive cloud of fire and smoke out of nowhere. Even one level four Knight was blood to pieces along with his whole platoon trying to defend the nobles.
