812 Completing the leader Ques (1/2)

With the new Qi he had learnt and his new body as vampire lord, it was actually a quicker recovery than the others expected. But by the time he had arrived at the Bertha Cursed ship and placed in the medical bay, he was already back to normal. At least his body was.

When Quinn came to and saw this, he looked around and went through a mix of different emotions, the first one confusion. In truth, at that very moment Quinn didn't really know what he was feeling, and with everyone trying to come in and check up on him, he couldn't really think straight.

This was why in the end, he had decided to cast the shadow lock skill on himself, sending him to the black room. A skill that Arthur had taught him.

Back to the first emotion, confusion. Arthur was a vampire that had lived for a long time, he wasn't stupid and he too would have known although the injuries were devastating, unless killed he would have lived. So what was the point of even injuring him to that point in the first place if he was sign to let him go? Was there a need to go that far?

Then his previous actions were even more troublesome, Quinn would have probably died if Arthur wasn't there to save him. No matter how hard he tried to think, he just couldn't understand it.

Eventually though, being in the black space allowed him to move on from this thought and feeling, and this was where he had felt hurt, hurt by Arthur's actions.

Maybe some would find it weird, after all Quinn and Arthur didn't have much interactions and hardly knew each other, but Quinn felt like he had a closer deeper connection with Arthur. When he was in trouble and no one was on his side at the vampire council table, he was there to protect him during that time.

And if there was anyone that understood Quinn and the situation he was going through right now, it would be Arthur. They both shared the same shadow skill, at one point they were both human, and it seems like they were going through the same experiences.

It was because of these things he felt closer to Arthur than he really was. Looking into things deeper, Quinn was starting to think about the others that disappeared around him as well.

'Why, why does this keep on happening?' Quinn thought.

Vorden, Arthur, and even Vincent.

'Why did you all choose to keep secrets from me, did you think I wouldn't understand if you told me the truth? Was it for my sake, or maybe you just thought I was too weak to help?'

Quinn saw similarities in all of these cases, and he felt slightly betrayed by all of them as well, including Vincent.

'Maybe there is a chance for me and you can talk again, there's a lot for the two of us to catch up on.' Vincent in a way was Quinn's ancestor and part of the reason why he was more involved in both sides of this than he wished.

Eventually, the dark feelings he felt were still there but they weakened, and he started to think about what he could do. Had the goal changed? No. Were there things that still needed changing in this world? Of course, and now he just had another question he needed asking on this list.

'So Arthur, you want me to get stronger. Stronger than you. Well, I'll get stronger so I can return the damage you did to me, and then I'll ask you why, why did you do all of this.” Quinn said, picking himself up.

'There are those that haven't betrayed me, those in the Cursed faction, and before I stood by while they got hurt. Why, because I was scared of what the vampires were going to do? No, I can't carry on being like this.'

While in the dark space, Quinn noticed he could use the dimensional space and shadow equip as well. It was something else he had seen Arthur do when he took the demon tier crystal. From there he grabbed the dagger and started to cut away at his long curly hair.

Since the evolution, his hair had grown slightly longer and was covering his eyes, but Quinn didn't want to be reminded of his old self. No, just like how the world needed to change, he needed to as well.

When he was finally ready, he activated the shadow lock skill and appeared back at the medical bay. Both Wevil and Linda were waiting for Quinn to return and when he did, Wevil immediately ran all over informing everyone of Quinn's return.

It didn't take long for them all to head to the medical bay and when they did, their eyes were glued to the person in front of them and their mouths were left wide opened.

”Quinn?” Nate asked.

”I'm pretty sure it's the young boy, it has to be. Although 'boy' probably isn't the right word to use anymore.” Dennis said.

”Of course it's Quinn, he's just...different.” Fex said, knowing full well what had caused the change.
