Chapter 232 - The Secret (2/2)
”What do you know of us?” Freya asked, looking at Laz while taking a drink.
”People call all of you Vampyres. But other than that, only what I've seen.”
”Well” Freya started laughing. ”They are not wrong.”
”You.. really are?”
”Each person, whether infected or not, now has a bit of energy in their blood. That's just the way it is. In a similar manner to pollutants and carcinogens, it's something that humans have begun taking into their bodies. But like all things in small enough doses, it doesn't really do anything or cause any harm. Now the question is, is their a way to get that energy out from them?”
”So... you're saying...?”
”Of course. If the energy is in their blood, that means the energy can be taken from their blood.”
”Then you all really???” Laz couldn't believe that what he had heard was actually the truth.
”Why not? It's simply a different way of extracting energy after all. There are different ways to do it like when killing another infected, their bodies release energy that can be absorbed. But imagine the slaughter that you would have to go through to get that result. This is much more efficient.”
”Damn...” Just because you hear a story, doesn't make the story true. Laz had his doubts, but now it seemed like what he had heard was, in fact, true.
”But then how are all of you?” Obviously Laz wanted to know how all of them had the exact same ability, but didn't want to appear rude.
”You want me to show you?”
”You're going to suck my blood?”
”Tempting offer. Would you like me to? I can make it a night you will never forget.”
”So you don't need to suck my blood?” Laz caught on to what she didn't say instead of focusing on what she did say.
”After dinner. I will show you. For now, please, eat. There is always more. And besides which, it looks like there is more than one girl here who wishes to meet with you.” Freya laughed as Laz noticed a line forming in front of him. These girls had eaten quickly and wanted to introduce themselves to him as soon as possible.
Laz was confused as to why this way, but did his best to greet every girl who came up.
By about the tenth girl, he had lost track of their names.
By the one hundredth, he just let them talk while he ate, nodding his head and grunting at the right time. This didn't seem to deter them in the least.
”What was that all about?” Laz asked, seeing Freya laughing next to him.
”You will learn soon enough. Now come and allow me to answer your question.” Freya got up and without saying anything, lead Laz away.
Down the long, darkly lit corridors, Freya moved with ease, taking Laz a different way than the bath house. Laz still could only marvel at how big this place was.
At one point, Laz felt something behind him and noticed four sets of cold eyes staring at him from behind. A little startled, Laz said hello in a friendly manner, but got no response back. The girls just continued to walk along behind them.
”Uhh...”
”Don't worry about it. They are like that when they put on the masks. They won't bother to talk to anyone or anything,” Freya informed Laz before continuing on.
As they rounded one Laz bend, Laz noticed that the walls suddenly took on a more ancient and solemn feeling. For some reason, Laz felt like he was in a much older building now.
The path way finally ended at a large metal door. The thing was a massive, twenty foot portal that seemed like something out of a story book or medieval castle. They just didn't build things like this anymore.
Without pause, Freya put her hand on the door and whispered a few words before slowly stepping back.
As the door finished opening, Laz finally saw what was behind it. The light was coming from what looked like crystals imbedded in the ceiling, except that all of the light was shining down onto a large stone dias in the middle of the stone chamber.
On top of the stone dias laid a transparent coffin in which laid a young doll like figure.
”Welcome Lazarus. Since the girls refer to me as their queen, then I would like to introduce you to our god.”
