The Vampire's Hatred

CHAPTER 8

THIRD PERSONS POINT OF VIEW

AFTER a few days, they finally reached the entrance of the passage to the human world. Together with the other elders, Queen Valeria and Master Tan.

Primo was just standing silently at the grand entrance of the portal, watching the outside world, watching the human world. He didn't move, he just stared, and then he lets out a heavy sigh, one filled with hesitation. Thinking he will feel the sun again.

On the side, Master Tan leaned closer and whispered to Queen Valeria, his voice low enough that Primo wouldn't hear. “Are you sure that Primo's power won't be triggered in the human world? I haven't seen his improvements for a while. You know how unstable it can be, especially with his emotions.”

Queen Valeria turned to look at her son, who was standing steadily in front of the portal, his face unreadable and seemed to be deep in thought.

“I trust him,” she answered softly. “More than anyone. And, I have a strong feeling that he will immediately meet someone important as soon as he lands in the human world. Someone who will change something about him.”

Hearing her words, Master Tan just nodded slowly, his eyes filled with understanding, and then he turned to the other elders who were waiting for his signal.

Master Tan walked towards them. “What is the current time in the human world?” He asked.

“It is currently seven o'clock in the evening.”

“Good thing our passage led us to the vast forest. If not, we would have a hard time going down,” Queen Valeria said, to which everyone nodded in agreement.

“Get ready, Primo, you can go out now.” Master Tan ordered. “We will also start the barrier.”

Primo turned around when he felt a familiar presence behind him, and saw his mother approaching him. Without saying another word, she then gently held Primo's hand, her hands were cold but surprisingly soft and comforting.

“Be careful out there, son,” she whispered, squeezing his hand tightly. “Come back here sometimes, okay? Don't forget your real intentions. I trust you more than anyone in this kingdom.”

Queen Valeria saw only a brief smile from her child before it flew out through the passage. But it made the Queen relief.

Queen Valeria sighed deeply as she watched her son vanish through the passage, his figure slowly disappearing into the bright light of the portal. Not once in his life did she see him smile broadly or even laugh freely like others. From the very moment of birth, his aura was already dark, heavy, and cold.

“Let's get started,” she said, turning back to the elders, her voice returning to be serious. “I want us to strengthen the barrier before sunset. We cannot leave the kingdom vulnerable. Vadenote might come back here at any moment, he still need something to get here.”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Master Tan stepped forward and placed a strange, glowing crystal on the table, it's shape is unrecognizable. “This is the equipment left by Vadenote that still possesses his power,” he explained and turned to another crystal he was holding. “Abd this will help us identify who is trying to infiltrate our borders.”

One of the servants who accompanied them then stepped forward to deliver the other supplies needed for the ritual.

The elders nodded and each one began to go to their respective places.

“Queen Valeria, if possible, please don't pour almost half of your power into this barrier. My bat pets say that what is happening in our kingdom has reached other kingdoms. They don't know that much yet. But I'm sure they will find out the truth. If they will know you are not in a good shape, they might attack us without hesitation.” Master Tan said.

Queen Valeria thanked him for his voluntary assistance. What she also knew was that Master Tan really didn't care anymore about what would happen to the kingdom.

“I do this because of what my pets tell me. And I want to witness the new generations and see what they will do and how they will resolve the current problems.”

Queen Valeria just exhaled and they started creating a barrier.

After an hour of manipulating the power, exhaustion and breathlessness were evident on everyone's faces. Queen Valeria handed Master Tan a drink. Among all the elders, Master Tan is the oldest and not as strong anymore.

“Thank you very much,” Master Tan said, his voice filled with genuine gratitude as he took the bottle and drink.

“I think the root shadows are already here,” Master Tan whispered, glancing towards the dark hallway.

Before long, they arrived, their steps are silent and spoke to Queen Valeria in private, away from the other servants and elders.

“It seems that Sir Vadenote is having a hard time catching people in the human world,” one of the shadows reported in a low voice ang knees on the floor. “The times are too modern, and there are many ways for humans to catch him modern tactics. He cannot move as freely.”

“I think we still have plenty of time to prepare then,” the root shadow added.

She looked at the shadow kneeling before her and said with authority, “You are the root shadows. I trust you will lead them well in Primo's absence.”

“Whether we have a lot of time or not, we need to hurry. You can take a short break for now and repare yourselves for the next orders.” They nodded and then left.

Queen Valeria suddenly looked at the passage. “I hope he takes care and be okay.”

On the other hand, Primo successfully entered the human world. He was at the top of a large tree, standing with a noble gesture and keeping his wings spread.

His two palms were clenched as he gazed at the forest. And in the distance, he sees the twinkling lights that surely come from the buildings of the people.

His fangs are still out, his eyes are red, and he has large wings.

He sighed repeatedly, thinking about how he would face the people again. He sighed again before flying off and taking the path out of the forest.

After a few minutes of rapid flight through the night sky, he finally arrived at his former residence. Only the light from the moon is his source to see the surroundings.

This is a house that was built by the vampires in their kingdom a long time ago, back when they still tried to live peacefully among humans. The size is just right, not too big but not that small but its design was eerie, like a haunted house straight out of a horror film, yet the social aspect of it was still noticeable, it was clearly once a home by a noble.

He landed silently and observed the surroundings, more plants and trees had grown wildly around it over the years, thick vines and tall grass covering the walls so that ordinary people wouldn't see that there was actually a house hidden there. But the inside of walls, the house can clearly see.

This is located at the entrance of the road leading to the street, but it is not easily visible due to the plants and trees surrounding it.

Primo placed his things inside the house, his movements quiet and careful, despite having a dark and cold personality, his nobility still shouts.

Primo looked around, it turns out that the servants had already cleaned it recently, dusting off the furniture, windows and the outside garage. And it's because it was the Queen's direct order. She had known he would need a place to stay.

After ensuring his belongings were safe, Primo emerged from the house again. He looked up at the dimming sky, spread his huge, dark wings and flew off to search for animal food to regain his strength.

He didn't have to go far. He quickly spotted and caught a wild chicken in the forest nearby and ate it raw in an instant, his hunger taking over.

He can actually see many wild animals, but b whole chicken is enough for him.

After his meal, feeling a little more energized, he decided to go back to his house to rest.

But upon turning around to leave, a woman suddenly appeared and stopped right in front of him on the narrow forest path, it was a human. Her eyes widened in pure terror, and she couldn't move. Frozen in place like a statue.

Primo also stopped abruptly, unsure of what to do next, especially since he knew exactly how monstrous he must look right now. His fangs were still bared and dripping, it's eyes were glowing bright red, it had large and dark wings spread behind him planning to fly, and there was fresh chicken blood over his mouth and on his hands, on the ground.

For a few seconds, they just stared at each other in complete silence and don't know what's the next move.
