Chapter 2431: 2431. The One Left
Midnight and Walker watched as the ice blossom saber walked inside and went to a large stone basin. It was empty now but she still made as if she were to wash her hands. Walker made some water from the ambient water mana in the air and cleaned it using light mana.
To this, the ice blossom saber cleaned her hands and smiled slightly. She had started to feel the same thing that Walker had, but it was harder for her to accept it just yet. She also knew the normal traditions to follow when walking within these sacred places.
This was a place for rest. For slumber, often for the most powerful and elder vampires of their race. They would deserve the clean and respectful actions of all who entered here. This wasn't just a safe haven for when their city was attacked or when they needed to heal for long periods of time.
After saying a small phrase that Walker and Midnight did not catch, the ice blossom saber walked through a carved archway and in to a large open chamber.
This was filled with pillars, the rune formations on them were not working any longer but it was clear that they had been made to keep the air purified and the entire area clean. It was basic respect to those resting here to maintain this cleanliness.
She looked at some stone platforms which Walker and Midnight soon realized were open stone beds. While it could be seen that some of the cloth or other items that had been there rotted away to dust over time, the bodies were well preserved. But the life in them had faded.
The vampires were not like the monster that they had just seen. They could not last as long in slumber without some form of nutrients or awakening to eat and replenish their mana properly. This was the same for every race. There was a limit to what could and would be done when it came to how long someone could go without any form of food.
The reason that the other vampires had survived was simply because they had all been attached to a monster using them as slaves. That had allowed new mana to flow and somehow for them to survive better than if they had just slumbered entirely alone. Not necessarily a good thing at the time but for the future, it could be seen as better because the vampire race survived.
From even the greatest evil some good could come in a way shape or form that may not be expected.
Here, the vampires who had come to slumber or had already been slumbering were already off in to the next life. There was no mana flowing that could prove there was life left within them. Even using life mana, Walker was sure that nothing would happen. It was more than some gut feeling, he just knew it to be the case.
But as the ice blade saber made her way to a smaller stone bed, she knelt down and Walker could feel the entire area become icy. The chill was her accidentally releasing more of her mana and activating her battle skills.
"That's the one. I can use my mana to help." Walker conjured up another ball of water and started to clean his hands while he avoided looking at the ice blossom saber's eyes. She wasn't in the state that she wanted others to see.@@@@
It wasn't because there was a single vampire left here. Or even because it was some grand elder vampire figure. She was looking at a vampire child.
He found Midnight examining the stacks of books in the first storage room and his mind raced. He knew exactly what Midnight had found. And was thinking.
"This is perfect. We can bring people here to recover all of this. We might have what the vampires want and need to keep growing." Just using the all around appraisal on some books, Walker knew that they were not so damaged that information couldn't be recovered.
The books were dirt and had started to rot in to dust, but the turns here had been damaged less over time since the runes just for storage of items and not protecting people. Therefore the pages might be recoverable if cared for well enough.
Otherwise, Walker soon heard a small gasp for breath before returning to calm breathing. He then herard the slightly joyful laugh along with tears form the ice blossom saber.
Even though Thais city was lost and so much was lost serially missing of their history, a single life had remained and been here waiting for them. It was enough to make every vampire glad, especially the one who wished to reclaim her power and lead the vampires once again.
"We will escort you." Midnight spoke out loud again. This time though, she sounded authoritative and clear. She would lead the survivor home before anyone could worry about books or knowledge or anything else.
This was her role now. Who she was and what she stood for. These people came first no matter
what.
This left Walker to take the back guarding position while also feeding a little extra mana toward the young vampire held carefully in the ice blossom saber's arms. Even a little help would be enough for this young vampire's future.
