The System of a Vampire Chapter 90 - Skyfall: Revelations

The Founder turned upon hearing the familiar voice and saw the form of Dracule Lantern, he sneered upon seeing the fate of his final child.

"Hello Dracule, I see you have become even more worthless than before. Though I do wonder how did you end up in such circumstances" acknowledged the Founder causing Dracule to grimace at the greeting.

"The Heir of our line has sealed my spirit into this body" admitted Dracule not saying anything more than he was asked.

"Due to your scheming I assume, you never knew your limitations and always bit off more than you could chew. This brings me to my next observation" stated the Founder taking an edge to his tone.

"What kind of foolish ideas have you been filling the boy's head with, was it you who told him to feast like a gluttonous pig to increase his power" demanded the Founder his power oppressing those in the area as he revealed his displeasure.

"Father, I would never jeopardize our line" started Dracule pathetically causing the titan before them to sneer.

"Was it not you who drove the final nail into our people's coffin? Was it not you who waged a second war and destroyed the alliances I had built, and was it also not you who set the branch families against our line" listed the Founder, each thing causing Dracule to shrink back from his failures in the past being thrown in his face.

"Leave my sight" commanded the Founder but a harsh grip on his shoulder brought his attention to Draig who looked at him dangerously.

"My Founder you may be but in this world there is only one who commands my subjects" stated Draig with a serious tone.

The Founder widened his eyes for but a split moment before knocking the hand from his shoulder and grabbing Draig up by his neck.

"You dare to raise your hand against me boy" asked the Founder with deadly tone.

"I dare, in the end I will consume your flesh like this demon so what is the difference between now or later" glared Draig though he knew he couldn't fight this person.

"Seems you've grown just a bit in the time you have been away from me.... very well boy. I will leave your precious pumpkin be, but now it is time for you to come with me and fulfill the promise that has been made" stated the Founder developing a bit of respect for his Heir after this little show of character.

Dracule on the other hand had heard the words and though they may have sounded selfish he couldn't help but feel his old spirit weep.

'Child, you would stand up for this old soul in the face of this monstrous man. What have I done to deserve this kind of treatment from you' thought Dracule feeling moved from the gesture.

"Very well, we will leave after I say one more thing to my people" answered Draig as he turned towards Kira, Dracule, and their followers.

"I will be leaving now, this time it could be decades before this old bat allows me to return. In this time I hope to see you all flourish and dominate in this Skyfall, take as many of these celestial treasures as you can and for me collect as many samples as possible. When I return we will be going to war and I will take by this world for not only myself..... but for all of our kind who have been slain because of the arrogance of mortals" spoke Draig before he returned to his normals form but now his hair had become a peppery grey and his features a bit more feral.

"Are you finished" asked the Founder

"Let us go, the sooner I drain the blood from your veins the sooner I can return and take my place at the top of the world" chuckled Draig causing the Founder to glare because of the lack of fear the boy had held before.

"You will come to regret these words child" stated the Founder as he transformed and grasped Draig by arms before soaring into the heavens.

Below the surface that figure in the coffin had taken on the form of a human, a youth at that but the figure was hidden behind the casket's lid.

'Soon we will be ready' thought the figure closing it's eyes as it began to sleep a bit longer.

Kira and his pack watched their master leave but only he did so with a heavy heart.

'At least I can die knowing that we were able to meet one more time..... Master' with that thought Kira looked at his Wolf pack and the numerous treasure falling from the sky.

"You heard the master you mangy mutts, let's get a move on. If we want to get a leg up we do it now while the humans are weak" howled Kira as his pack seperated into different units and sought out the towers of light in the sky.

"What are you waiting for? Do you expect us to be shown up by a bunch of house pets, we are the creation of the master himself. We can not fall behind to some wild dogs, let's move" roared Dracule with a high pitched cackle, the Lantern's feeling the change in their king rang out with their own cries or fits of laughter as they sprinted through the forest taking all there was to be had.
