Chapter 366
"You’ll see," Roth said with a faint smile. He turned and walked toward the heart of their shared domain, the mist-shrouded forest that had become both their sanctuary and proving ground. Xerosis followed, her curiosity piqued despite the bittersweet occasion.
At the center of the forest lay a massive, ancient tree, its roots intertwining with the earth like veins of lifeblood. Roth approached the tree and placed his hands on its bark, channeling his power into it. The tree began to glow faintly, its light cutting through the ever-present mist. Slowly, a small, intricately carved wooden amulet emerged from the tree’s bark, as though the tree itself had offered a piece of its essence.
"This," Roth said, handing the amulet to Xerosis, "is a fragment of our home, imbued with the strength of the forest and the memories of our people. It will remind you of what you’ve left behind, but also of what you’ve helped create."
Xerosis held the amulet in her hands, her expression softening. "It’s beautiful, brother. Thank you."
Roth nodded as he waved his hand clearing the mist to show an opening where a giant structure was waiting around it were the first generation vampires who helped build the structure.
Xerosis looked at the giant ship standing in front of her, Roth held her hand as they walked into the ship which looked like a replica of their home "The woods in this forest has taken a property of ours which is the generation of mist to shield us from the sun and snooping eyes"
"This material was used in building this ship as you will be traveling far to the eastern continent where Ikem’s father’s realm will be more accessible to you. This ship was built to help with that and hide you and your special servants from the eyes of mortal"
Roth took her into the cockpit which was huge, he extended his hand taking the amulet and placing it on an opening, the ship hummed to life, placing a hand on the orb, the ship began to slowly leave the ground as it took to the sky.
No sound was heard from the ship, silent as the vampires who created it, Roth seeing his sister so absorbed with the sight smiled as he collapsed into a smoke of dark mist.
