Rex kept to himself while Jay practiced his magic. He could sense the fear rippling his magic for a moment before settling. He was very attuned to his magic, Rex thought.

Word has gotten to us that there was a death in the Council. A friend of my father's. He was apparently attacked by Hunters and one of them possessed a Sun rune." He sighed. "I suspect foul play among the members, Councilman Zion is arguably the strongest Vampire behind the General." He swallowed thickly, worry creeping up again. "We need to act fast."

Zion slipped out of the store with ease and focused on the area around him. He was old enough to remember the teachings of the first Alpha Prime, a man who'd saved his life and trained him, despite their racial differences. All night long he had felt the mistress of the night urging him towards something. The Therians called it their Instinct, and surprisingly, Zion felt his awakening again, finding use after all these years. He would follow it, traveling to where the pull drove him, his form settling into the powerful Vampire Lord he'd once locked away. Time was of the essence and he needed all the speed he could get. He could handle a little bit of feral urge as he'd always had.
