Fear. That's what held him back. Fear of losing love again. Fear of the fact that what he did for a living could endanger Quin. It's no secret that the "vacations" he went on were to enforce the Krishkov empire. He had enemies, vampires he defeated long ago.... A certain one who haunted him, gave him nightmares... He wouldn't let him get hurt. He would protect him. His mind reeled with thoughts of that Vampire and his promise...

[i]"I will destroy all that you love... I will kill each and every lover you ever take..." The vampire's eyes glowed with an unholy light. "You will suffer for eternity with the curse of immortality, your precious pride as a warrior of Valhalla should easily keep you from killing yourself..." The vampire laughed as he attacked.[/i]


Coming back to reality with a jolt he almost drops the shield. "S-s-sorry..."He rubs his forehead. When was the last time he got a proper sleep... Spending hours and hours trying to track [i]Him[/i] down... But Alexi had eluded him... Eluded him for centuries... He had caused so much pain... So much suffering and Magnus wanted revenge. He would kill that vampire... He would destroy that monster even if... even if..

Duvalt heads to the Infirmary. Along the way he is met with pages on updates but he mostly ignores them, telling them to put the reports on his desk, he'll deal with them later. Adjusting his tie he finds Nik in the halls. "Ahh, Nikkie. How is our visitor?" He smiles warmly at his son. He will make a good king. He had no doubt. He was good in his studies, always did well in his training. It was a shame that Dash had to be... Punished like that, but he couldn't let him wander off. Who knows what enemies would take him and use him as leverage. He was safest here... Though he wondered if he did right... Gunnar had taken to the boy. Dash loved to spar at a young age and would tease the older Vampire until he gave in... Such training provided him with the skills he needed that day... Gunnar was never truly the same... He had left, then. Vanishing without a trace. Magnus understood, said he was off finding his Wyrd. But at that moment, Duvalt feared that he caused a rift between his family... His wife never spoke of it, Magnus and Gunnar had sworn secrecy... But Nik... He was young. Too young to understand... And it saddened him.
