SILVER-HAIRED

Young Nicklaus was back to the Castle before he could even know it, back within his room unseen, he turned to the view of Rome now covered in snow, he bit his bottom lip, he went too far for there was no going back now. Great! His mood was instantly out of control after he heard what that seer said, she was able to read his fortune which was first in history and not just that, her mention of him being able to reach the Holy Library. The Holy Library, it was nothing but history for he has always heard of it. And he knew she wasn’t lying.

His door instantly barged open and he whirled, his caretaker walked in and the look she had on and he knew, they found out what happened, the weather gave him out. She cleared the path as a very elderly man walked in, standing upright in spite of how old he was. He looked stable and coordinated.

Seeing the elder vampire, Nicklaus knew his secret was out.

"Brother, did you really sneak out into mortal society last night?" Celeste asked for the tenth time and he wasn’t about to answer her, she was always bothersome, he just needed to focus on the scroll he helped himself with.

"I heard what you did with the weather last night... you ruin the festival for the Mortals, interesting" Alaric intoned, drawing a scroll out of the shelf.

"I rather not talk about it... this is study time let it remain so" Nicklaus said sternly, he got his mind clouded already.

"The elder scolded you didn’t he, I always hated the geezer, he’s always strict" Alaric said, picking up an apple on the tray and chewing on it before taking a seat beside Nicklaus.

"Tell me Nicklaus, were there any beautiful maidens out there? I’m curious to what the mortal ladies look like, for I only see elderly women here, they never let the other vampire in us due to their so called scared law"

"As usual interested in things you shouldn’t at your age" Nicklaus snapped.

"Come on now brother we maybe 5 but we’re certainly not stupid like a mortal 5 year old, our brain is older"
