Of all of the lords that Aleksiya would have been perfectly comfortable with losing, Illena was not among them. The sight of her seemingly dead, body entirely vanished, was hardly a welcome one.

The small vampire lowered her arms. The ice spears she had embedded in the monstrous skeleton's eye-sockets, as if as a final(albeit ultimately pointless) revenge for what had just occurred, explosively shattered, bone splintering from the force and leaving a far larger hole punched in the collapsing figure's head.

The only consolation was that her death was perhaps not as permanent as it might have seemed. Not only because of her bizarre nature, but also due to the fact that they had been reborn once before. Perhaps such a thing was not off the table again.

Perhaps.

Wordlessly, she listened to the voices of her compatriots. Normally she would be far more intent on offering her opinion, but at the moment she didn't particularly feel like speaking. Besides, this village seemed like their best option, even if they had lost someone already.

Her small fists reflexively tightened.
