Chapter 857 - The Boneclaws master (1/2)

When Ham was finished explaining all the details, the other two were getting prepared taking with them everything they needed for their trip. But they couldn't leave just yet, as there was a reason why they had to wait. On Silver's advice Quinn had informed Dwight about what was happening.

There were a few reasons for this. He thought that maybe one, he would be able to send help to the other two from dwight. He still wasn't very confident that just with the two of them they could save Fex, who knew how strong the enemy was, and two, Silver and Quinn also agreed to keep Lee involved with what was happening, just like he had been doing Quinn.

There was a certain royal guard that Quinn would speak to,a contact that Dwight had told him to talk to whenever he needed to get in touch with him. Dwight said he could explain all the details to him, as he trusted him. This was how the two of them would set up their meetings.

Usually vampires, especially those of a higher rank that needed to communicate with each other, would do so using the eighth family leader's ability, Jill, through her telepathy. This was rather than relying on technology that could be intercepted by others and they could make sure that only those that were meant to receive the message needed it.

However, Dwight was the one that had informed Quinn not to use her, and Quinn agreed. Especially since she was one of the ones that had chosen to give her vote to Bryce. At the moment their was a clear bias towards certain leaders.

The two of them filled up flasks with blood for both Leo and Silver, and Quinn had made a suggestion to Leo.

”Before you leave Leo, it would be best if you grab something from Alex, I'm pretty sure he has something that might come in use for you.” Quinn suggested.

While the two were away, Quinn continued to look over Ham. Who looked to be doing fine compared to how he was before. He started to think about what had happened, moments before he woke up. Ham didn't seem to be close to waking up at all, yet suddenly he did. Once the Boneclaw had turned to smoke and entered him, disappearing soon after.

'The Boneclaw has helped me in many different situations, according to Chris it was protecting me on the demon tier planet as well. Boneclaw, you originally belonged to the first leader, right? Do you work for him, or do you work for me at the moment?' Quinn wondered.

The reason for thinking about this, was due to the Boneclaw being more than uncooperative, Quinn could enter the space to attempt to talk to him, yet for some reason, it would choose when it wanted to speak, and when it didn't. Acting on it's own will.

Familiars usually worked together with their master, but the Boneclaw seemed rather selfish, either only helping Quinn when it wanted to, or when he was close to death. Quinn didn;t feel like it;s master at all.

”You…won't be able to summon…” the deep voice was heard.

Quinn looking around the room, was trying to see where the voice was coming from. He knew it was from the Boneclaw, he just didn't know where. Until he looked at Ham, smoke was forming from his back, and it had taken the shape of a miniature version of the Boneclaw. Swirling above Ham's head, created from the black mist.

”Ah, the king. Why is that devil of a king on my back!” Ham shouted. Soon he started to bow down. ”I'm sorry I didn't mean to call you names, it's a normal reaction when one meets someone as great as you.”

This type of reaction from a familiar when seeing the Boneclaw, wasn't the first. Quinn had seen it when Bryce had summoned his familiar as well. It was clear the Boneclaw was special.

”What do you mean?” Quinn asked.

”My energy, inside him…. No longer with you…” the Boneclaw spoke.

'I think I understand. ” Vincent tried to interpret. 'Right now, because Ham isn't receiving enough energy from Fex, the only way he could wake him up was by using his own energy. Which is why there is no marking on your back and he is appearing above Ham at the moment.

”Which means, if you are in a dangerous situation like the times before, the Boneclaw won't be able to help you.” Vincent explained.

Quinn understood and nodded towards the Boneclaw.

”I know you have helped me many times before, but I want to ask you a favour.” Quinn said approaching the mist. ”If they are in trouble, can you protect them?” The Boneclaw seemed a little uninterested in this, but then Quinn mentioned something else.

”It doesn't matter what happens to those that try to attack them, you are free to do as you wish, go wild and don't worry.” After Quinn had said that, the mist disappeared right back into Ham's body.

'I think I'm understand this thing a bit more.' Quinn thought.

Ham started to shiver.
