Spectral Claws: Ancient Recurring

Leader of Terroters and Treasure of lands away

The treasure was still unknown and its presence was nearing the heightened sense of spotting it that was evoked as he transformed into a werewolf. How this happened and how an ordinary Glendin man such as him had wolveian blood had no sense to be made but it was true and there he was clawing the floors as he jumped from place to place and taking all paths.

He took hidden paths that gave him ways to certain treasures that were lost but it wasn't that valuable. An item called the nut diamond and the heart glass and golden branch were all seen there lying on the floor showing and telling him that there were famous seekers and treasurers or hunters who came down this path and still didn't survive. His brightsword had turned dark and in the possession of scraps of these treasures aforementioned, he set his path towards the place that had been marked in his map and so was it marked in mine.

In his very deepened voice that was rage filling, he said, "Ahh all these people taking by whatever you are in there, Terragon all our past deeds have not been taken down. I will promise you that your head will lie under the throne you stand upon along with your blood spilled all overwritten in your name..Speyer."

In my mind, I heard the name, Speyer, according to the Europeans and their thirst for finding the lost city of gold it was always that they failed to discover it unless someone did and never said. If it had been there since even the times Gods had existed ...Speyer would be a keyword or more of a literal name that is passed on even know a great way to hide in plain sight perhaps? No one could have known the place unless they knew this story where are all the myths gone about this anyway.

I was suddenly disrupted as the man walks to the place and just a small glimpse of a huge pointy castle was shown and I had gotten up sitting in another hall with my hands tied. I was quite dizzy and exhaled heavily feeling a bit of pain in my head as I was knocked out last time. I sighed as I saw my friend, Derik sitting at the side and the map was on the table in front of me, opened and showing all the places of Germany.

I looked back at Calfian sitting across us and smiling in vain of capturing us. I scanned the place and the number of guards just by seeing just in case and I turn to the map. "What is this?" I ask as though I did not know anything about this ancient piece of material, "Thought you knew your history? Well perhaps you don't know too much about the past huh...that is the map of what is currently Germany the thing that the terroters' slayer had at hand." He walked to me and leaned against the table pointing the knife on the map exactly at where the cross is without knowing or seeing the cross itself. I looked at Derik as he turned to me too quite surprised.

"Oh, so you both do know then.." He suddenly slashes through the air almost making a mess of the map and kept his sword against my throat looking at me. Derik was enraged and growled in his vampiresque tone that barely makes an appearance at any time. The guards moved front alerted by it and ready to attack. Calfian signed them to stop and looked into my eyes forcing my chin up to see him with the sword, "I am not to be meddled with. I know you know where the place is as well. This is just the beginning, we need to find a way to get there and who knows what lies in that crossed place except maybe you." He said as I kept glaring at his unbearable face while almost trying to let go of that Naufilius in me but I couldn't feel him much after the trip I took in the mind castle, would the strike have done something to the brain? Hard to focus right now with the situation at hand. Sorry, Naufilius. I try to remember the hidden places in the castle but the man barely entered the castle to make any assumption but there was one clue.

The name, and it could have been his descendant remaking the same castle if it was in the said place as only one building exists there right now amidst the city and all made sense to what it was at the present ..." Ok, I might have a clue but I can think bitter if there weren't many sharp objects pointed to my neck." I said pressing my voice and sighing and keeping my hand on the desk near the map as I scanned it and I obviously didn't need to but I wanted to see if there were escape routes and infiltration points so we could take when we make our escape. The fool kept staring at me getting impatient and sighed, "What do you see dumb wolf!" I glared at it and commanded in a necessary way," Shut up I'm trying to find a way to get there.." I told him that as I found very close places that are quite dangerous yet manageable to get us out there after I get what I was looking for and eventually we all would know the truth of what this place is...and I made a call of revealing the truth right here at this hall though such an epic find will be spoilt by a castle this crappy yet I had made the choice lasting my scan a little more until he gets more a little impatient and then looking at him telling him,

"Ok so, here and here are the two places we can get to make it to the cross, and to find the towers that exist in the city we must take one down underground to the west from this sewer tunnel and another one right below the cross and which will take you from the city's main sewer tunnel. Now, these paths may be dangerous as the secret society or say Helsing's men would guard them, but if we manage to get inside we can hack the place and get our treasure out nice...and safe." As I was pointing and communicating with these two men leaning over the table listening carefully, the map was completely memorized and the plan was set. I still sense doubt from our fellow enemy, "What do you mean infiltrate, pretty sure no one knows this part of Germany and there's no way we need to be in the city.." I sighed and turned the map to show him the exact way of what this was, "This...this right here is the center of the city. Um, google or something?" I said writing down the coordinates next to the map and marking the tunnels, "Impossible, so the treasure was kept in the castle that till now isn't destroyed. It's hiding in plain sight and no one knows that the dungeons hold the key to the whole world secrets...clever but wait what is this place...now that...it is in the city." I paused for a second doing anything at all and looking up at a confused Derik and sighed and then worriedly said, "It's...a church...cathedral, Speyer Cathedral. It's gotta be it.."

Derik felt agitated,"You are telling me the one place that vampires can never step foot in?! is where those treasures are kept of course of course it was converted into a church after all the Bloodteeth mess." He sighed and felt frustrated totally confusing himself with human traditions of vampires and his own history, "You are a Bloodteeth, you will be fine...you are still a creature from this planet and a demi-god so relax." He nodded softly like he realized something a little extraordinary but too obvious.

All this and I missed half of what I could have felt by seeing Calfian's reaction. The beastly yet humanoid man was laying his chest against the chair as his sweat covered its top and the sword had almost fallen down from his hand as he questions all of reality in his mind. He was at the peak of rage and dumbfoundedness and couldn't digest what he just heard. He was quite feared but now he seems to fear the entire insight that sits in his head because of me right now. He slowly turned to me breathing heavily almost like he was running out of it which would be impossible considering the creature he is and the place he is at but the look on his face could tell you that he was vulnerable now, "Spe-Speyer...you mean Speyer...the cathedral sitting in the middle of a city in Germany is...a --a castle of the Terragon?... Speyer is the one who betrayed our clan...you are also telling me he was the ...he was the leader of the terroters? the creatures that I was fascinated and motivated by all these days were all from that filth? Impossible...Impossible I say. You think I will believe that huh?" the place was getting heated as he took his sword up and came closer yelling and uttering the same thing," You think I will? Do you think I will!! " He took his sword up and looked right into my eyes as I closed them at the exact moment. The sword went up as I heard it hit the ceiling and a swoosh as it came back right to my neck...
