He’d ed to make it to the ht their daughter to them She was still unconscious, a spell that would take a fewto the now dead Wizard Ralf
He’d temporarily transformed back into a Titan as he dropped her off
When he first scanned the area, he’d found no sign of the guards frohborhood was virtually deserted, people either boarding up in their horoups in the other districts of the town
The rateful when he arrived Jeriah had hugged hi how she had been forced to accuse him, while Clarence sily hugged onto their daughter with tre hands
Dorian felt a kind of odd pain in his heart He was partially the cause for their terror and fear
He clenched his fist briefly, and then relaxed it
He s had worked out
And they worked out because he had strength
He had left shortly after, inforuards caic worked in this world, it was probably possible to tie the death to his Titan form
But, so what?
Dorian looked down at his now human hands with a sardonic smile
He wasn’t a Titan anymore
He was a hu else
"Just another forhed and then shook the thought fro himself have a brief respite
After he dropped the hter off, he’d taken the time to find out what all the fuss was
To his surprise, the City Lord, a powerful Lord Class Wizard vaic, had been murdered, as had his wife
Both bodies had been found, dead, and completely drained of blood, in the City Lord’s uards and a maid had also perished, all of them found with bodies drained co of a lawless vaainst his own kind
Vampires were extreends of earth, vaht, nor wooden stakes, nor running water They were an extremely powerful race with no real weakness at all, not any of the stereotypical ones
They still, however,blood They didn’t need it to survive, but it was seen as a delicacy
The Blood Magic shops that existed in the city not only served the need of Wizards studying Blood Magic, but also the need of va out fine bloodlines to dine on
"Did you hear? The 12 Palaces were attacked too!&8221;
"I heard the City Lord was killed by assassins sent from Butrias!&8221;
"It was a silent killer, you hear me! It had to be those damned Shades! One of the Grandmasters of the Guard was killed too!&8221;
"There’s a cri beast!&8221;
"Don’t be foolish, the guard has said its only a Master Class that doesn’t study ic! Even I could kill it!&8221;
"Dave, you can’t even handle a Sky Class beast Hoould you kill a Master Class beast?!&8221;
The hubbub of the co and Dorian’s own actions, continued onward, noise that didn’t see downstairs in the Bulky Cat Inn It was one of the many Inns on the northern side of the city, and full of various hunters and locals It was a popular place, specifically for its cheap, but fine, wine and cheese, an unusual palate for an Inn
He’d rented a roo the , however, he’d decided he wanted to relax, and listen to any ruet the authentic experience of being in a ic, medieval Inn common room
Unfortunately, nobody tried to harass him or attack him, and there were no innocent e of ould happen failed to play out He even tried to use his soul to twist Fate and make it happen, but that failed as well
He still wasn’t quite sure how he ainst that Titan and William died He had somehoilled Fate to obey hie
He’d been unable to reproduce the sa noit settle ware plate’s worth of cheese he devoured He sighed and then stood up, tossing a gold mint on the table
He waited for a second to see if any robbers or thieves would try to stalk hi him act so richly
He was disappointed once more
Reality, it seemed, never turned out quite the way you expected, or wanted
He made his way up to his roo as he laid down for some well-deserved sleep
To out how to coently needed right now

Nearly six hundred meters away, a small, almost i green lizard that was crawling up the side of a neighboring an to ruan to tumble as an entire third of the e a down into the valley below A large stor the now partially destroyed lared at Probus,
"What the hell was that for?!&8221;
"I saw a lizard&8221; Probus shrugged
"AND?!&8221; Trajan sputtered out, his eyes widening in rage
"Maybe it was an assassin lizard&8221; Probus shrugged for a second time, "You never knoith those scaly bastards&8221; He turned to look off into the distance as if he was conte deep, important philosophical concepts
