56 Mother Deares (1/2)

Draig was sitting among the coven as he tried to think of the next phase of this battle, he was aware that they couldn't sit back even after all the damage he had caused to the pagans or more correctly it should be said its because of the damage he caused to the pagans. He had his mother to worry about as well, he didn't know if he should be wary of the woman or not but Zarra had his trust at least marginally.

However Draig was unaware that the woman in question was already present but it wasn't until he realized his surroundings had grown silent that he truly became aware.

Looking around he could see the frozen expressions of his followers even the leaves themselves had frozen mid air.

”Is this what you have dawdled around for, playing among these mortals while I worried about you” came the alluring melodic voice.

”I wouldn't call it dawdling, as for the bloodshed. I suppose we could call it a game” chuckled Draig while inside he was trying to figure out what was causing the bizarre scene.

”A smart mouth, just like that man... He was so charming when he was enraged but other than that he was a buffoon. Silly jokes and idiotic actions, I honestly don't understand how someone like that could wield such power. Tell me has he told you of me” asked the woman

”He has spoken of you before but unlike you he had mostly good things to say, so tell me what brings you hear Mother” answered Draig as his mind had settled after realizing that there would most likely be no harm to him.

”Simple, I am here to bring you to where you belong.” answered the woman spreading her arms with a smile.

”Oh I do wonder, where is it that I belong” asked Draig amused by the insinuation.

”Among theVampires of course, do you really think you can play around with the humans your whole life? Then again you are still just a child and children often get attached to their toys, how about mommy brings them along as well that way you won't have to worry about them” offered Mother

However contrary to her expectations Draig began laughing, not a soft chuckle as he usually did but an actual laugh that seemed to convey the feeling of superiority.

”You think that I belong among Vampires, even your emperor is not of the proper status to consider being my colleague and you actually want me to live among them. I am a true Vampire, not like the rabble you associate with. I am the sole inheritor of Dracule, I am an originator why would I settle among such an unadaptable species.” sneered Draig, not that it was intentional but frankly he couldn't bring himself to associate with the Vampires, they were diluted little lowbreeds compared to his pedigree.

Mother was taken aback by the words before an extremely pleased look colored her face.

”Perfect, this is even better than what I could have ever hoped for. None of your brother's or sister's could bring me such a standing. Come Drevitch it is time to come meet your family” smiled Mother as she stepped forward.

”My name is Draig, you will do well to remember that. As for returning with you, I find myself content with my current abode. Feel free to take away your little fangers though” stated Draig as his cane began to twirl reminiscent of a certain mage.

Mother stopped seeing the action and her eyes narrowed a bit.

”Such a bad habit, I wonder where you picked it up and that arrogance.... Where is he, where is Zarra” demanded Mother

”Oh did someone call for me” came the cocky voice of Zarra.

”I should've known you would be waiting around here” muttered Draig as his serious composure seemed to fade away for a moment.
