Dantis slowly sipped on a glass of chardonnay as he sat silently alone in a large room, the room was made completely of wood and was circular almost like a tower. The room was filled with various items including but not limited to various bookshelves filled with old books, tapestries of old origin, a large antique desk from a quite earlier era. A huge fire place made of white and black marble adorned the middle of two bookcases, a fire was roaring in it. The chair in which Dantis sat was ancient as well, from an earlier European design, across from his chair was a more crude but way larger chair, it was probably the most newest and only modern item in the room. The chair was positioned in front of the fireplace, the flames seemed to lick it with shadows, it was made with fake leather, Rohar had called it a lazy boy or something like that. It was some kind of recliner the humans used, it was Rohar's bed in most definitions of the word. Dantis thought of Rohar sleeping in it and it made him saddened, Dantis hated that old human but his words were always formed out of truth and honesty. An these words had cut deep this time, reality was often hard to face and that was not just for humans to suffer but also for those creatures of the night who had made it this long, this far without ending up dead.

When he was younger Dantis has never considered much that his brother was mortal, in fact like most Vampires he was foolish in believing that Werewolfs were immortal like Vampires were. Although back then their bond was not so strong as it was now, sure they had been together a long time but that was not always so, at least as far as anyone knew. Once upon a time neither brother knew the other, they were born into a world that separated them at birth. No one knew but them, knew the truth of how their friendship began, no one knew that once upon a time they were pitted against each other in a war that barely any remember. That their mother and father had used them like pawns in a chess game to their own ends. The Nalor's history was  bathed in blood and deceit, and Dantis and his brother were born into that world. But they survived it, they weathered the storm, and two brothers once mortal enemies, now lived as brothers far from the life they were forced to live through lies and manipulation. Dantis looked at the chair, a huge blanket was covering part of it hanging onto the arm and draping the floor, a memory filled Dantis's mind as the world swirled on him changing into an event long past.

[b]Europe
Battle of Bloodmoon
1250 Years Prior[/b]

The air was thick with the stench of blood, decay, sulfur, smoke, and most of all the smell of burning flesh, the red moon in the sky shined down upon the bloodied country side. Bodies were scattered all throughout the grassy knolls, many humans lay dead their blood forming and endless river of red between each and every body that seemed to cling close to the others. The bodies were undiscernable now, none would tell them Werewolf or Vampire apart. In the distance a massive war raged on in the dead of the night, various ferocious howls were echoing throughout the countryside, steel against claw could be heard, mighty roars combined with angry yelling. One Vampire stood amiss the carnage his sword piercing the chest of a Werewolf. Dantis's eye's were cold and lifeless as his blade stuck deep into the chest of the Werewolf in front of him, its snarl was but a whimper now as the silver blade was turned sickeningly sideways ripping the Werewolfs heart in two. The beast slowly transformed back into a human dieing instantly. Dantis swiped his sword arm down letting the beast fall sideways to the ground.

In a moments blink of an eye he disappeared from the spot as a Werewolf launched down on the spot to grab him from behind. Reappearing behind the beast he brought his sword back and slashed the creature straight in the back opening its fur and skin like it was thin paper. The Wolf howled in agony as he brought his other sword foreward and slammed it through its back peircing its chest from the front, with another sick crack the sword flew through the Wolfs body as Dantis got close, his voice was bated with cold hatred as he spoke.

[b][color=gold]”Your quick but I am quicker mutt.”[/color][/b]

Dantis let the wold slide forward off his blade, the human body smacked the ground as three more Wolfs approached Dantis, they growled at him, their teeth bared, glistening red in the moonlight bathing down on them. Dantis swished his sword sideways letting the blood fly from his bloods hitting the bloodied grass. He stood defiantly daring the mongrels to attack him, without much hesitation the Wolves launched from their spots and attack him together. Dantis leapt from the spot and flew through the air, launching his leg forward he struck the first Wolf straight in the face knocking it ten feet away with a hard crash to the ground, the two remaining Wolves brought their claws down upon him one from the left and the right. Dantis raised his blades at the same time blocking the attacks, the sheer strength of the attacks brought him to his knee's but only long enough for him to bring his blades down, the metal scraping against claw made a shrill ear splitting noise as Dantis hit the ground and spun in a fast motion, his legs smashed into both of the Wolves legs knocking them off their feet. Dantis quickly looked up as the third Wolf launched through the air to land on him, spinning his lower body Dantis slammed his swords into the ground and lifted himself by their handles, jumping into the air he landed a short distance away just as the Wolf landed where he had been.

Dantis threw one of the silver swords, it slammed directly into the Wolfs head, the silver blade went through its mouth and out the back killing it instantly. The other two Wolfs got back to their feet angered by their brothers death, the howled loudly and launched from the spot. Dantis wasted no time running forward, he charged them head on only to jump at the very last second when they would have hit. Landing behind the stupid beasts and thrust his sword forward and struck the Wolf on the right straight in the chest, bringing his leg forward he used the dead wolfs mass and lifted himself upon the blade bringing his foot crashing into the other Wolfs face knocking it sideways, it went crashing to the ground hard taking large amounts of dirt with it. Dantis landed his feet back on the ground removing the blade in one swift motion, the Wolf transformed back to human dead before hitting the ground. Dantis turned his attention to the Wolf he kicked, walking as if he had not a care in the world, he grabbed his second sword from the other Wolfs head and strolled to the third. It was whimpering as it was barely registering where it was. Dantis slammed his swords into the ground and reached his arms down grabbing the Wold back its neck dragging it up. The Wolf struggled but it could not escape the Vampires grasp, bringing his hand up Dantis grabbed a side of the Wolfs neck. Ripping sideways he took out a piece of its neck along with the fur and sunk his teeth into the Wolfs neck taking in the blood. Drinking deep he brought his hands sideways against each other and cracked the Wolfs neck in one sick move letting it fall to the ground.

Dantis removed the swords from the group licking the blood from his lips, looking ahead six Wolfs set their eye's on him. His face contorted into a huge bloody grin, his eye's filled with the lust for more, putting one sword forward he waved it back towards himself motioning for them to bring it on. With a mighty howl the Wolves launched forward, Dantis moved from his spot as well, however the sudden monstrous howl brought him to a halt, the very earth seemed to yield to the mighty howl that had come from behind the other Wolves in front of him. Dantis narrowed his eye's as a new adversary entered the fray, the Wolf was black as night and very large, it stood almost three feet higher then the other Wolves, its body was heavily muscled, its eye gleamed yellow unlike the orange of the others. Looking at the Wolfs hand a Vampire was clutching, trying to free himself from the claws which were digging into its neck. The Wolf lifted the Vampire up slowly, with a sickening crunch the Wolf crushed his throat, then throwing the Vampire in the air the Wolf slammed its paw into his chest and lunched him forward. The body landed a few feet from Dantis.

Dantis looked at the Wolf hatred in his eye's, that was nothing more then a show of strength to that black furred beast. The beast walked forward, the other Wolves seemed cower away, this was no normal Wolf, this was a leader. Dantis felt the surge of excitement, this had to be one of the Four Wolf leaders who lead the others, yes, yes, his very air was chilling and the others feared him. This night Dantis would fell one of the fiercest of the Wolves, launching from his spot he disappeared not waiting, it was time for blood!  Dantis appeared again quickly behind the black wolf, launching both swords forward he went straight for its back to take it down, however he was shocked when the Wolf turned around and caught both of his swords in its huge black paws. Dantis struggled to pull his swords free as the Wolfs hands sizzle from the silver blades. Baring its fangs, Dantis felt himself lift up as the black Wolf moved his swords with him on them through the air. Dantis twisted his body to try and free his blades, but the Wolf was too strong, he was forced to let go and flew back sliding across the ground. The wolf threw his swords in two different directions, the blades glistened in the moonlight and disappeared from sight from the strong throw.

Dantis bared his own fangs in anger of losing his swords, letting his blood rage get the best of him he launched from the spot and jumped into the air running at a fast pace. His feet would have struck the Black Wolf right in the jaw, but Dantis was shocked when he felt a heavy black paw strike him directly in the head. The world went black for a couple moments as the strong blow knocked him hard into the ground, he slid almost twenty feet or more before coming to a stop. Dantis slowly reached his arms up and placed his hands on the ground, he lifted himself and then fell back down hard on his face. That blow had been worse then as if he had been hit by a stampede of bulls. There was no denying it, that was one of the Wolfs main four pack Leaders, no other could be so strong. Dantis lifted himself up again, this time getting back to his feet, turning his eye's became fuzzy but cleared again. The black wolf had not capitalized, it was probably enjoying the moment, Dantis spit blood from his mouth, his own blood that was. Cracking his neck Dantis moved towards the black Wolf but cautiously this time, the Wolf did the same, they started to move in a circle with each other.

[b][color=gold]”I know you... your Rohar, the Black Werewolf General, one of the four Packleaders. I realize that now, your strength can not be denied any further. But it matters not, before this night is out you will give me your blood and I will crack your neck like the many countless others of your kind.”[/color][/b]

[b][color=Tan]”Dantis... Vampire General of the Blood Order. You die... now.”[/color][/b]

Dantis cocked his head, the black wolf spoke to him... Werewolves were capable of speaking? This one knew him which meant their happening upon each other was not left up to chance but fate. Dantis however had no intention of Perishing this night or any other for that matter. Dantis moved his feet forward, time seemed to slow down as he moved forward towards Rohar, the Wolf changed direction and came at him, within seconds both of them hit each other full force. Both Dantis and Rohar grabbed hands interlocking fingers both with the intention of overpowering the other. Dantis felt his hands go back with a crack, he screamed angrily, the Wolf was too strong, his body was lifted up over the Wolfs head. Using his weight against the Wolf Dantis pulled himself down far enough and brought his leg into Rohars head knocking himforward. Dantis felt his hands release as he hit the ground, with one painful sounding crack he popped his hands back into place and ran forward, Rohar turned quickly toawrds him as Dantis slammed into the Werewolfs stomach try to tackle him. Rohar was pushed back his feet dragging against the ground leaving huge skid marks from his huge paws.

Dantis screamed angrily, Rohar grabbed him on the sides as he launched his fists into the Wolfs stomach trying to cause damage. Rohar growled angrily from the pain, Dantis felt his lift but he quickly pulled himself down with his own weight, launching forward he broke free of the Wolf grasp on his sides and rammed his entire shoulder into Rohar's stomach. Backing up only slightly he did it again, and again, and again pushing Rohar back with each blow. Around the sixth blow, Dantis felt a hard bony blow to his back, Rohar drove his elbow straight into his back knocking his straight to the ground. Dantis yelled in pain as he felt a large hand grabbed him by his arm, his body lifted into the air against his will, the blow stunning him, he felt himself smash the ground, his body lifted again and he was thrown through the air again smashing the ground on the other side. Dantis felt himself lift again, his body flew once more but this time Rohar released his arm tossing him bodily through the air, Dantis smashed the ground sliding to a halt ten feet away.

Dantis moaned angrily feeling the ground shake nearby, looking up Rohar was coming towards him and there was two of him at that. The Wolf was massively strong, stronger then Dantis could ever be, he would not win through a show of brute force, not this time. Dantis gripped large chunks of dirt in his hand as he pounded the ground in frustration. Rohar suddenly towered over him, ready to administer the last blow to end him, the Wolf raised his clawed hand to slashed Dantis out of this life, at the last second though Dantis brought his hand up and took the dirt with it, hitting Rohar straight in the eye with the dirt the Wolf howled angrily backing away rubbing at his eye's. Dantis jumped to his feet, launching into the air he brought his leg up and did the strongest flying front kick he could must striking the Wolf straight in the jaw. Rohar's body was lifted off the ground as a crack sounded from Dantis's leg, landing on the ground Dantis yelled in pain as the kick alone had broken his leg. Rohar slammed the ground and slid only a couple feet his massive size keeping him from going too far. Dantis  knew he was done, there was no fighting Rohar and winning this night, the Wolf was too strong and he had underestimated Rohar's strength and ability. Rohar slowly shook his head regaining his feet slowly glaring at Dantis.

[b][color=gold]”This isn't over Wolf, I will be back and when I do, next time Ill make sure you die!”[/color][/b]

Dantis got to his feet feeling the pain shoot through his leg, turning he quickly jumped high into the air and disappeared into the waning darkness of the night.

[b]_________________________________________________________________[/b]

Dantis recalled the memory as if it had happened only yesterday, that had been the very first defeat he had ever been dealt his entire life as a Vampire. Rohar was strong and lethal with his body and he had failed to see that before it was too late to do anything about it. It was almost funny how now they joked around like they had never been enemies before, but truth was they had been mortal enemies long before in what seemed like a whole other life. Dantis looked up silently as his brother Rohar trickled into their personal getaway, with a heavy slump the big lug went straight for his chair and fell into it practically letting the footrest go up.

[b][color=gold]”Your Werewolf friend okay Rohar? You were gone for a good while, you missed the contract meeting.”[/color][/b]

[b][color=tan]”Yeah he was okay, the girl I think was more hurt then he was. I arrived at the meeting location but it was empty so I figured I had been late and you were already here. So did the human have an interesting contract for us? As much as I love this underground domicile, it would be nice one day if we could have separate rooms and also living underneath a crypt is rather depressing even for me... even one as remodeled as this one.”[/color][/b]

Dantis down the rest of the wine in the glass and sighed heavily, this was going to be hard to explain and he already knew how Rohar would react. Dantis quickly poured himself another glass, the coming days were going to be hellish for them both.

[b][color=gold]”We got a new target... so please just hear me out before you say anything Rohar..”[/color][/b]
