[i]"Speaking of threat, the only real danger that this sanctuary has is you and I, Priscilla-dono. A convergence of an Ancient and an elder vampire is enough reason for them to launch an all-out assault. Should the humans be able to detect our presence, specifically, YOUR presence... Even those children at the shack will suffer. As of the moment, we are the greatest threat to the sanctuary."[/i]

"And yet, we are their only chance to survive. The irony in that we, the greatest shield for this sanctuary, are also the dagger that rests on its throat, is indeed thick." However, Priscilla stood ready to fight. It was rather expected of an Ancient, especially since when summoned, it was typically a matter of hunters getting out of hand. The immense power of an Ancient was no laughing matter, though in this case, the job would also be political as well. Destroy the hunters, then hypnotize world leaders into bringing the populace back into the belief that vampires do not exist. The latter would be easy.

After a brief moment of silence to plan things out, Priscilla spoke her decision just as clearly as she spoke anything. "We should return. If this assault of theirs begins while we're away, they could be done before we're ever aware. For the time being, this sanctuary should resume activity as normal. If...rather, [i]when[/i] these Black Swords arrive, we shall turn every fallen hunter into a risen guardian. Their attacks shall grow in scale, and we will have more and more soldiers to build an army with. For the time being, this is all we can do."

"They're this way," Hisako said, leading the way around a corner to a small door. Opening it up, she pointed down a set of stairs and continued "We're storing the food in this cellar. Go drink your fill; I'll wait up here." It was dark down there. So dark that, were Hisako and Greyson not vampires, they'd probably be unable to see past the third step down. But, as creatures of the night, the ability to see in the dark was second nature; it was the reason Hisako didn't bother with light bulbs in this place.
