[Across The Rooftops]
I’ve been slowly making my way towards the wall while trying to avoid any attention from the soldiers below. Most don’t seem to look my way since it is just barely loud enough below with all the marching.
The other problem is what side of the wall could be the exact one they are at since it goes around the whole capital.
I’d assu the one closest which would be the initial entrance wall since that was the one Lia knew already. I don’t think she’d go anywhere else but could they make it to the top of it?
It would be dumb to sit at the bottom... So hopefully that’s exactly where they are.
After jumping across a few more rooftops I finally can see that I’m about to reach the wall, except for one problem... I can see another hunter down by the entrance.
It is the sa hunter I saw back then and in the mories of Hans.
He doesn’t see yet which ans I have so ti to get over to them but it could be risky to jump. If he looks my way in the slightest it could end badly for all of us.
My whole body is kind of exhausted and the effects of the blood are starting to wear off.
If I had been drinking blood my whole life from the proper sources I’d probably be in better shape. But there’s nothing I can do about it now, I’ll just have to get used to it over ti.
Even with all the blood Lia has been giving lately I haven’t avoided the exhaustion afterwards.
Especially if I drink before a fight... Maybe it is unavoidable or maybe I just am not drinking enough. Just, I can’t drink too much from her or even Alia since they need it.
Sigh.
Still. I think what they give is enough for the ti being since I can fight with mostly full strength against the enemies. Hunters are a different story... Hans was just unlucky for him.
My family’s bloodline ca in handy during the fight when I didn’t expect it to help in the first place.
I leave my thoughts behind for a mont as I hear a soldier running towards Sylas.
"Hans is dead Sir, Huff. Huff. We found him in what remains of the chapel," The soldier says before catching his breath.
Sylas doesn’t look upset by the news in the slightest, actually he looks kind of excited for so reason. He really is a dangerous hunter.
"That ans a vampire really is here or at least it was," Sylas responds while looking around.
I quickly back up before he can see .
"What should we do?" The soldier asks.
"Keep on with the mission of course," Sylas responds without any hesitation.
"Yes Sir," The soldier says before rushing back.
I’m not surprised that they sent more than one hunter... But originally in the mories it was only Hans. Sothing must’ve happened the mont he left the room since Sylas is here.
Yet, the soldiers also seem to be well aware he was sent. Were so told while others weren’t?
There is a lot of secrets being held within the Lumiel Capital. I’m going to bring them out into the light at so point, even if it is during the fall of their whole damn kingdom.
That ti will co, for now I need to continue making my way to the girls.
I peek forward once again and notice that Sylas is no longer down by the entrance; that is my que to get the hell out of here before he notices .
A few steps back outta be enough to make this jump.
One more quick look at the distance between this rooftop and the wall tells that I can definitely make the jump. I’ve got enough in to get up the wall as well.
1, 2, 3. Hyup!!!
As I make the jump across I dig my nails into the wall to keep myself from falling.
Luckily they aren’t that fragile or else I probably would’ve fallen many tis before this. They probably could work as a weapon if I’m smart too.
I take quick glance beneath and notice a few soldiers walking through the alley, none seem to be focused on the wall.
BOOOM!!!!
A distant explosion goes off towards the castle.
I’m going to assu they are entering by force now which ans Remi did have everything blocked off. I really hope he got out since these people from Lumiel seem ruthless.
Hopefully the other kingdoms are nothing like Lumiel but there is sothing to think about.
Would it be better to head for Lumiel first or the artifact that I got information about at the guild? I almost forgot about it with everything that happened.
As I climb up the side of the wall I think about what could be the best option to pursue first since the artifact could be a good boost. Yet, Lumiel is also important to head to for many reasons.
GRAB!!!
My hand gets grabbed as soon as I reach the top and I feel myself get pulled onto the top within a few seconds.
"About ti you made it here," Lia says with relief in her voice.
"Were you just watching the wall for ?" I ask with a curious tone.
"I had to since I didn’t know when to expect you," Lia responds with her hands on her hips.
"Well, I’m here and I’m alive. I killed a hunter and the city is full of enemy soldiers," I say while looking back.
"What about my father’s n?!?!" Alia chis in with worry in her voice.
"I’m sure so are still fighting but they were caught off guard. I doubt many of them could have survived the initial attack," I respond with a serious tone.
Even if Remi’s army could’ve gotten up in ti, they probably wouldn’t have made it through the second wave. Lumiel definitely planned this out for quite so ti.
I don’t know what’s special about today but I’m sure soone does.
Imdiately my gaze falls back to Alia, looking away from the city. She must know sothing about today and why it is special, even if it is just a birthday or so sort of holiday.
Anything would help.
