My Triling System

He forsook all his friends and followed these strange men because of the answers he seek. He became a full vampire because of this aim.

“Where are we?” Dan asked faintly.

“You’re awake just in time. This is it, the Vampire Kingdom. We are presently in the emperor’s castle. Your father’s castle.” Harry replied.

“For real?”

“So how do you like it, is it beautiful? Beautiful than where you came from?” Harry said.

“The two lands are both beautiful, there’s no difference. You have the technology, and they also have. So it’s equal to me.” Dan replied.

“That’s not what I’m talking about. Yes, they may both look beautiful but there’s a difference between the two.”

“And what’s the difference?”

.....

“You,” Harry replied. “You own this land and kingdom but you do not own that one. That’s the difference. Ever since you were a kid, no one ever treated you as someone important. But now that you’re back in your rightful place, your story will be changed to a better one.”

“Open the gate!” One of the vampires said and the gate leading to the City was opened for the men to enter.

Kevin could see elves and fairies on every corner of the city, being treated as slaves. They were carrying heavy stones and gold without using magic or spell. The vampires placed a device on their feet, it won’t allow them to use their Magic or spell against the vampires or any other creature.

But what Dan didn’t realize was that there were also humans among them, but since they look like fairies without wings, Kevin thought they were fairies.

The vampires proceeded into the castle after getting down from their horses. They walked through the stairs and when they got to a room having three thrones, they stopped.

Everyone was silent until a Vampire suddenly shouted.

“His imperial Highness, Emperor Lucas!” Just as the man announced, trumpets were blown and a middle-aged man entered the room.

The vampires bowed their heads as a sign of respect for their leader and Dan also bowed.

After the emperor was seated on his throne, the vampires standing by his side took a rectangular glass box that was covered with a piece of clothing and presented it to the Emperor.

During the journey into the castle, Dan saw the vampires carrying the box as they walked through the stairs. At that moment, he wondered what was in the box, but he took his mind off it since it doesn’t concern him.

The glass cylinder was placed on a table close to where the emperor was seated.

“We cast the spell as you commanded your highness,” Harry reported.

“Ah, is that so? The academy would have been full of blood now. I can imagine the shock on everyone’s face.” The emperor had an evil smile formed on his lips.

Dan’s eyes widened as he heard that the bloodstone was stolen. If he was right, the bloodstone was the thing inside the glass rectangular box.

‘How were they able to steal it without being caught?’ Dan wondered.

“They must have known that we planned to steal the bloodstone. Despite that, the dark creatures came to the light city, but they still weren’t able to stop us. You did a good job, Andrew.” The emperor glanced at the Old Vampire standing by his side. “Your cousin will be so angry at herself for revealing the location of the stone.”

After the chitchats with the vampires, the emperor shifted his gaze towards the vampires standing at the left side of the room.

“Son, why are you afraid? Come closer to me.” The emperor said, looking in Dan’s direction.

The other vampires turned their gazes to Dan, as they waited for him to heed the emperor’s call.

“Is he talking to me?” Dan asked.

He walked towards the emperor and knelt before him.

“Your imperial highness.” Dan bowed his face downwards.

“Come on, who told you to do things like this.” The emperor laughed widely. Dan’s eyes twitched slightly as he saw the Vampire laugh. He heard stories of how powerful emperors are, that their presence alone strikes fear into the heart of people. He assumed that since this emperor was a Vampire, he must be more powerful than any other emperor in existence. And such people like this deserve to be honored. So he thought bowing is the right thing to do.

“Dan, You are my son. You don’t need to bow as the others do.” The Emperor said. “I know you have a lot of questions to ask. I’ll be sure to answer each of them. But first, you need to be powered.”

“Huh?” Dan was confused.

“Stand, son.” He ordered and Dan slowly lifted himself off the ground.

The emperor was handed the glass rectangular box and removing the piece of clothing that was used to hide what was in the box, the bloodstone was revealed. It was a red baseball-sized gemstone.

The emperor then proceeded on taking the stone out of the glass. As the stone left the glass box, the aura of the bloodstone was felt by everyone in the room. It was clear that the glass box hid the Aura of the bloodstone or it might have made the vampires that stole the stone go insane or worse, kill them.

“Many thought the bloodstone only brings evil upon people but they didn’t know that the stone could make you the strongest person in the whole universe. This stone can only be activated if two people related by blood activate it together.” The Emperor stated. “I would have wished for the two of us to activate it, but you are still weak to do so. You will be consumed by the power of the bloodstone if you try to touch it in your weak state.”

“Your highness, we could give the prince a one-month training, he should have gotten stronger than this by then.”

“No, one month is a long time. I have wars coming ahead. Teach him what he needs to know within two to three weeks. Make him Evolve as soon as possible.”
