Chapter 836 - The creator of the Dalki (2/2)

It seemed like the eighth family and tenth family had multiple clashes after that, especially since Vincent had also been the one to have killed one of their previous family leaders due to what they had done to Katie.

”Whoa, that's a lot of enemies, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes right now.” Vincent stated amused. ”You have the first family's Bryce on your back, the eighth family, and let's not forget about the Sith family with Vadeen. I know Arthur was the one that killed him, but it was due to you.”

”Don't pretend like everything's my fault! You were the responsible for at least one of those!” Quinn replied annoyed.

”If you know Jim had created the Dalki, then why didn't the vampires kill the Dalki or at least help the humans when they were getting attacked?” Quinn asked.

”I know you might start to hate me for this, since you're a former human, but… the Dalki simply hadn't been regarded as a threat by us. At any point in time we would be able to beat them quite easily, so we didn't really care what happened to them. Given their lifespan, most of us appeared to think that the problem would simply fix itself. And by the time the human race was facing extinction… well we had found a way to solve our blood problem, so once again no family felt the need to intervene.”

'The vampires don't see the Dalki as a threat? Is it due to arrogance, or are they really that strong?' Quinn couldn't believe it, he had personally clashed with the other family leaders and had therefore experienced their powers firsthand. He also was aware of the power of the Dalki he had encountered.

If the vampire didn't regard them as a threat…

”Just curious, but how many spikes have you seen on a Dalki?” Quinn questioned to verify a theory.

The face Dwight pulled was one of confusion as he was clueless what that had to do with anything.

”One? No, I think I recall one of them having two. I'm sorry, it's been a while.” Dwight answered, unsure where Quinn was going with his questioning. Still, he had learned his lesson, so he answered as best as he could. ”Actually when the Dalki had first been created we had been unaware of their defects. The ones studying them reassured us that their intelligence was enough for us to attempt to train them, so we taught them how to fight. The idea was to use them as more than just a food source and make them hunt beasts as well. However, before we got the chance Jim had disappeared with them all in a single night.”

'Did he say two spikes, but even during the war there was a four spike Dalki. Have they grown stronger in the meantime? Just like Borden. Do more spikes grow on them with age or did Jim find a way to create more? … However, that means the vampires remain unaware of their increased strength. No wonder, they've just been sitting here focusing on their own internal struggles!'

This was something Quinn couldn't have predicted. He had believed there had to be a logical reason for the vampires to not get involved, but for the reason to be… pure ignorance. Unfortunately that meant Quinn would have to somehow convince them to start treating the Dalki as a threat.

Worse, they also had to worry about Arthur now as well.

”Don't tell them about Arthur, Quinn.' Vincent stressed. 'Right now Dwight trusts you, but they saw Arthur help you once when you were in trouble! Both of you share the same ability and they don't know quite how it works, but do know that he can come to you through your shadow! If you tell them that Arthur plans to get rid of the vampires, that could easily be used against you!”

Vincent was right, Quinn didn't want any more enemies, not at this point and time.

'On that note, could you ask him who managed to create the Blood substitute? With me and Jim gone, I seriously can't imagine anyone else being able to complete it?' Vincent asked.

”There is one thing I don't quite get. You told me that Vincent was in charge of the project, but left it unfinished. Then Jim was the one to try and complete it, yet he failed and created the Dalki before vanishing. However, it was completed in the end, so who was the one who managed to do what those two had failed at?”

”I don't see why that would be a problem.” Dwight replied, taking a sip of his tea. They had been talking for quite a while now. More so than he had initially thought, especially since Quinn was focusing on past subjects. ”It was actually due to Jill, the eighth family leader. Believe me when I say that it was a complete surprise to all of us all when she had come up with a solution.”

'Jill?!' Vincent shouted in shock.

'What, is she someone special or something?'

'Actually...” Vincent paused. ”I don't really remember her. She must have been made a family leader after me. Although the eighth family did like to experiment as well, they were nowhere near as talented as the Enos' Vincent claimed full of pride.

”That is everything that I know about Jim. To this day there was a call out from the agents to find him, but he hasn't been spotted and with our agents deceased, we have decided to focus on more important things. I hope my answers have helped you.”

It did help Quinn confirm a few things. For one, Jim was indeed the creator of the Dalki, and if Quinn's hunch was correct he would be working with them even now which was why the vampires were unable to locate them.

However, there was one other, perhaps even bigger question on his mind.

Where did Richard Eno, the first King, fit into all of this?
