Starring at the execution scene, Vlad could feel himself getting excited for this. This is the reason for him to be here, to search for knowledge. It was never the gold that interested him nor saving the princess. And earning a title, he laughs as such a foolish idea, ain't it enough to be hated by the people.

Coming out from his position, Vlad walked slowly toward the trail of blood left behind from dragging the bodies, trying to prevent any damage that can be caused by him or his teammates. With each step closer to the scene, Vlad could feel his heart beating faster and the smell of blood and other things filled the air, creating an odd compound to see, feel, and smell. But Vlad didn't  mind these, he is actually even pleased with this smell, the smell of a freshly dead corpse. 

 Maybe they were protecting something, maybe this area is their breeding ground, maybe they are afraid of something,... There are so many reasons for them for not to go out.  The reasons flew through Vlad's mind while he kneeled down to the blood trail, scanning to see if there was anything left behind. And he found what he wanted, the hair from the odd creature. Its hair was longer, stronger compared to normal mammalian hair or fur, almost like a small version of a gambeson. Just think of ripping through that coated armor being fast enough to kill it amazed Vlad. But that thought quickly pass in his mind as Vlad chanting a spell, the most basic spell of them, fireball. From his hand, a small spark of purple flame flickered then engulfed his whole hand. But Vlad didn't seem to feel the pain or uncomfortable placing his face so near his flaming hand as he put the hair of the specimen in the fire. The hair seemed to resistance to the heat for a little bit, before starting to burn like normal fur. 

Vlad's eyes focus on what was left off the experiment, before standing up, looking directly into the hole of the city. In his hand, the purple flame started to flicker before disappearing, releasing a small plume of purple smoke on the clear blue sky.
