Chapter 4

Now while the four set up the house to there liking or Slicer going to get some beer and Antech to see if this town has any blood wine to buy. Cross and Valla stayed behind. The two girls started chatting.

“So why are you or where traveling with Falla? I mean most reptillites don't really like elves. Or also don't like wolfens for that matter because of the Blood War going on at the west continent.” Cross asked her as she served her some tea she had found and made. “At least the place has some human food in it,” Cross thought to herself.

“Well it's a long story but okay. You see she use to live in the jungles near Waloo on the west continent as a member of the Vine Splitter tribe. I was part of the desert tribe called the Red Scales. The wolfens where in the forest near the lake and Sentree and called themselves the Unbroken Leaf pack. You probably know why they called themselves that as of the wolfens ability to shape wood into harder then snow gems material they call silver moon wood. It all started when we where in a small battle between the three tribes when a group of three humans came upon us and slaughtered my comrades and Falla's comrades and the wolfens too. They took us two to Sentree and did experiments on us. They where testing the power of souls… Well they stuck me with a shot which at the time I didn't know what happened until the time I died a year after. The shot they stuck her with must have been to experimental as she let lose a flow of dark green energy that shattered the three souls of the humans… I don't know what they where trying to do to her but at that time we both made are escape for it. But you probably know shattered souls don't rest. The three men souls turn into fifth-teen shadows and they been chasing us across the continents. For some reason maybe the experiment made them intelligent and not mindless life drainers. About my death I have the power to stay connected to Zamtar after death and have Falla hear me and be able to possess people of there bodies and make it my own. I don't know what happens to the people souls I possess but I don't think it is good. But it's a necessary evil,” Valla told her.

“Wow. Damn that some fucking story. Well I guess I should tell you my story. I use to be a human until I met Antech and he courted me. During one wild sex he tried to transform me into a vampire but I had a Ring of Reviving on at the time so when I die when he gave me his blood I transform into some kind of ghoul-zombie human girl.”

“Hmmm… That is very interesting. So what is you two's relationship?”

“Well it's a little different. I love him but he is a bit indifferent towards me. I think its something from his past. I don't really know because he barely talks about his past. All I know is he was a dark hunter while mortal and gave up his friend's life to revive himself as a devil vampire so he thought he could avenge him. I think it eating him up inside. Poor him I do feel bad for him.”

“Oh I sorry I asked.”

“Don't be.”

“Well how about we get outside of this house and check out the market huh?”

“Sure. Want me to carry you on my back?”

“Thanks.”

At a bar Slicer is drinking and Antech came inside and saw him. Antech had just got done drinking some blood bottles and wanted to talk. He walked down and sat next to the drunken Slicer.

“Give me an order for the two of us. Make it some beer. Gives us mugs…” Antech said and paid for them and gave one to Slicer.

“What you want?” Slicer asked him.

“Just to talk to you man. I still feel bad for Were-Claw…”

“Who is that Antech?”

“You mean was that. He's dead. And it's my fault. Well his death wasn't exactly my fault. The falls killed us both. It's my fault he will never be able to rest in peace.”

“Why's that if I care.”

“Well it because of the deal I made with Krono the demon. I made a deal with him when I died. He asked me if I wanted to live again and take revenge on Amrach the ogre king and his reptillite bride. My mortal name was Nask. I signed the contract and was transformed into a devil vampire but at the cost of my friend Were-Claw's soul. I still hate the choice but it was the only that allowed me to survive. I translated Amrach name into demon or Antech and took it. I left the dark hunter life style that day and have been wandering ever since.”

“You talk too much.”

“Let's get home before you are so drunk I got to drag you home.”

“Alright buddy.”

At the market place Cross and Valla where trying to get some regular provisions. Right then a group of four wolfens driving through the market place in a jeep came up. It looked like a cleric and three warriors.

“Look I see fresh meat! And it's all wrapped up for us! It's a easy catch today boys!” The cleric yelled as he spotted Valla.

So the jeep ran right into Cross who went under it and Valla had been across over at the side. The wolfens jumped out and grabbed Valla then spend off on Cross's face.

“Cross!” Valla screamed out as they took her.

“Oh shit that hurt… Huh? Valla! Damn it! Now I got to get the guys and save her,” Cross says and runs back to the place.

Once there she finds Falla in there drinking some of Antech's blood wine with the other two there trying to sober up or Slicer trying to sober up with some bloody Maries.

“Oh there you are Cross. Where's Valla?” Falla asks after putting down a glass of blood.

“Uh… Shit. Why did you have to come now,” Cross says half frankly.

“Is something wrong?” Falla says and gets up worried.

“Well Valla been captured by a group of wolfens,” Coss tells her.

“Ah crud this is not good. Hunter told me about them. This is not good. There actually cannibals. And he said most of them are as wicked as Darsu's Caves. We better hurry. I think I know where they went there is a desert cave outside the city limits they might be hiding in. We should go.”

“Well let's roll then people,” Antech says to them all lazily and they all agree.
