Chapter 33 - Zeal (2/2)

If it was any other ordinary time, not even one of the four Supreme Clans leaders would have faced the vampire like this. But this was not the normal times. All the races in the Nar realm strived for the survival of their own bloodlines.

And the Six Supreme Clans were even more pressured in ensuring that the downfall of their race did not occur in their hands. With the power struggle to reign supreme more fierce than the Battle of Wars, happening behind the scenes of the six clans farce, there was no clan leader that truly feared the other. There were only clan leaders that hid more deeply than the others.

Hence, the moment they felt suspicious of the vampire's intentions, they went on alert mode, guarding against the Supreme Elder. They disregarded their private agendas, stepping forward to protect the benefits of their individual clans.

The group of races watched the scene unfolding with wide eyes and open mouths, the disbelief evident in their expressions. Five of the six supreme clans were openly facing against the Bloodsucking clan.

Their hearts trembled in fear as their minds went into chaos.

'What is happening? Is it the beginning of the end for the six Supreme Clans age?'

Was the question in every creature's mind as they silently distanced themselves from the clans, in fear of accidentally getting caught in their clash.

The werewolves, however, were excited and energetic as they protectively surrounded their king and queen.

Luke felt the moment the four clan leaders' auras changed, with the werewolf in the lead, he realized that he had gone too far in his scheme. Instead of preventing the serpentine from entering the Underworld Palace, he had brought five of the six supreme clans together, raising their guard up against himself.

He could not understand what had come over him. In the past, no matter what happened or what changes occurred within the Nar realm, he did not pay much heed. In fact, he interfered in the Bloodsucking clan's affairs only when an elder from the clan itself sought him out and requested for his assistance.

Now, in his zeal to keep the serpentine away from the werewolf, he had turned the five clans against the Bloodsucking clan.

'Yes. Keep the serpentine away from the werewolf.'

The realization of this fact brought shock and questions to his perplexed mind.

'Why do I want to keep the two away from each other so desperately?' He internally asked himself.

Because if he was not desperate, he would not have exchanged so many words with beings he considered beneath himself. If he was not desperate, he would not have wasted so much time with useless creatures.

'But why am I so desperate? For what reason?' The questions swarming in his head were many but answers, few, if any were even there.
