Road to Valhalla Chapter 35: The End of Illusion
As I walked down that endless spiraling staircase, the only sounds I could hear were my footsteps on the damp brick stairs and the occasional dripping sound in the distance. It was perhaps a leakage in the ceiling but I was safe from whatever it was and all I focused on was not to get dizzy and tumble down. As I walked on, the candles lit up to light my way but when I looked back, there was nothing but darkness.Naturally, I did consider that all of this could be a trap but knowing that whatever was leading me down there was way stronger than me, there was no way I'd resist against the inevitable. At the end, regardless of the outcome, I would have to fight and I was okay with that. Felix was fighting too, though I wasn't concerned about him anymore.When I finally reached the end of that seemingly ceaseless stairway, feeling like I had been treading down the whole night, I found myself in a dark damp place filled with nothing but the scent of death in the air. I walked ahead carefull
Road to Valhalla Chapter 36: Faye
"My lady, are you awake? Your father is calling for you", a voice from beyond the door broke her weak slumber."Wouldn't matter if I wasn't", she mumbled under her breath, removing the warm silk sheets from her snow white shoulders, "Tête!"."Yes, my lady!", Tête waltzed in through the door and slightly bowed her head upon greeting the young lady."Bring my gown, Tête. How long has father been awaiting me? Is he in his study?""He was in the tea room with some guests. I don't think he went back to the study. Here", Tête handed over the velvet gown to the young lady."Guests, you say?", the young lady had moved to her dressing table, examining her bright silky-smooth face fitted with the brightest set of blue pearly eyes."Some foreigners of little importance, I'm sure", Tête arranged a fancy linen gown for her to get changed in."Then my father wouldn't have met them in the tea room. Tête, the water", the little beauty instructed. She had now began brushing her golden locks.Soon she
Road to Valhalla Chapter 37: The Root of All of Us
"My Lord", Tête entered the room and bowed her head, "There is a letter for you, sir".She presented the envelope that she was holding in her hands. "On the table", the master of the house muttered, without looking her way, continuing his gaze into the unknown outside the window, sitting in his recliner. "Anything else?", when Tête didn't leave for a while, he finally asked."My Lord, I am but a servant of your family, like my father was and his father too. We've served your noble family for generations and now, I find it in me to ask you about the fate of your daughter that I raised with my own two hands"."You've served us", he looked her way, uninterestingly, "Your job has been fine. And this is the only time any member of your family has questioned a decision made by the family of Vlad. It is perhaps my own failure that pests like you have gained a mouth. But since you've presented yourself to me with that miserable fate of yours, let me tell you".He began."Vampires cannot hav
Road to Valhalla Chapter 38: A Tainted Dream
"Master is back, girls! Come on up and get to the kitchen, all of you", the head maid came waltzing in, clapping her hands, scattering the group of maids chittering the day away."Madame, who is going to tell him? Will you?", one of the girls approached the head maid and asked slowly."Tell him what? Mistress would tell him herself, is it our duty to give such news to the head of the house? Of course not! Don't forget your place now, go get the stew started already!""Oh, she's not half wrong, Madame. Mistress is what, only 18! And you know how cold their marriage is, good heavens, they don't even talk to each other", another one opined."Goodness, you girls!", the head maid herself wasn't too old, but with all the young ones scampering around, the middle aged woman felt many a wrinkles coming, "Can't you keep your heads in your work? Now get to work and stop idling around".In fact, if there was one place in the huge Valentine mansion that was lively and seemed to be inhabited by any
Road to Valhalla Chapter 39: Vlad is Reborn
"It is nice to see you", the old woman stepped in through the door to find Faye in a reclining sofa, "My Lady".Faye turned her head slightly toward her and smiled weakly before closing her eyes and looking away."I had a feeling he'll send you. He'll probably not be well off himself though. Right, Tête?", Faye replied."Barely. My Lord has banished me from his sight ever since you left. It would hardly matter if I was there", Tête answered."Is that right?", that was surprising for Faye, though she didn't demand a reason."I am not the only one he sent either. There's also this young man", Tête said as a young boy entered the room, "He's Cassius, from one of the branch families, the last of his family, quiet like you, my Lady".Faye opened her eyes and examined the young boy who was probably somewhere in his early teens."The last of his family? Are you a Dhampir, kid?""No, my Lady. I'm a vampire. Lord Magnus performed the blood ritual himself before sending me here"."My father did
Road to Valhalla Chapter 40: The Butler
At first I wasn't sure what had occurred when the wall broke down and I was dragged outside. When I looked back, that dungeon where I had met Deli was gone and I was in some sort of a garden, with a glass roof. It was beautiful but scary. And at night, it was mortifying. I held my breath as I looked around for whatever had brought me out. I couldn't see very well, the moon was hidden once again in the embraces of the thick dark clouds and it only occasionally came out teasingly. Drops of sweat rolled down my face despite the chilly night. I clutched Ebony tightly as if my life depended on it. Soon I heard a brush in the nearby bushes which was followed by the footsteps on the stony path. I kept my eyes peeled for whatever was headed my way. But before I knew it, it seized me and I'd have been impaled if my reflexes hadn't made me duck out of the way of the chained dagger that was headed my way.My arm did get slashed but it wasn't something I couldn't handle. I looked sternly at the
Road to Valhalla Chapter 41: The Savior
The garden grew darker and darker under that glass roof and cloudy night. Still, it was strangely enchanting as if something was calling me to sleep. And I might just have caved in and slipped into its embraces if it wasn't for this unexpected intruder.I felt like I had lost my consciousness but in fact I wasn't half gone yet. I noticed Albus's face twisting into the most terrifying expressions. "What an unpleasant way to enter. Who might you be, sir? A friend of that dying guest over there perhaps?""Yeah but for someone as half assed as you to have done the number on him, I'm rather disappointed in this friend of mine", he said with utter disgust and a familiar voice that brought nothing but relief to me."Oh? Aren't you one to be forming opinions so quickly even before we have met in battle?"He chortled, though I couldn't see his face."I barely need to do that. That is one of the cursed weapons of your master, I presume. The only problem with these trinkets though, is that they
Road to Valhalla Chapter 42: Chopper vs Albus
I lay there motionlessly as Albus and Chopper engaged in a battle that was too hectic for me to keep the track of. I did consider moving out of the way but for some reason, I didn't. Chopper kept shielding me from all the destruction they were causing all around them. Chopper held Ebony between his teeth and switched with Ivory occasionally. I had almost forgotten that Ebony and Ivory had curse imbued in them, they weren't some ordinary weapons. Chopper was right, I had been wasting Ebony's potential.If I remember it right, Ebony can cut through anything and Ivory causes things to disintegrate. I hadn't even thought of using Ebony to cut through a lot. I began to imagine all the things which could have been easily sliced through if I had been using it right. Nosferatu, for one, was what I began thinking of. I wondered if Chopper had met Felix on the way. Actually, I didn't even know how Chopper got here in the first place.Albus was keeping up rather well with Chopper. It seems he ha
