[The Elder Council POV]

In a dark room, with a gothic like long table and gothic leather chairs, there are five chairs on each side, and one in the middle far back in the room, that chair is different, more special. Four people are sitting on opposite sides of each other. Each one has grim look on their faces. Eyes of red, indicating they are all Vampires. Not any Vampire though, they are Vampire Lords.

"This... this is... *sighs*, I really don't know what to say" says an elderly man, with a short grey beard and short grey hair.

*THUD*

A man with a slick back and undercut brown hair and short stubble brown beard, and an angular face stands up and hits the table with the side of his fist with anger and says while gritting his teeth "What is there to say!?" he pauses for a second and continues by shouting "LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE BECOME! LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE! WHAT THEY HAVE BECOME! WE SHOULD HAVE KILLED THEM ALL ALONG TIME AGO!"

A woman, sitting to right of the person who shouted, with medium length brown hair, reaching past her shoulders, says with a dangerous aura while looking at the man who shouted "Calm down Brendan..."

Brendan sits down... nervously.

The same woman looks at the Elder Man, and speaks "Remus, out of eleven spies, only the head of the mission survived. She says they have armor and weapons of silver. A lot of the armor is enchanted in Light Magic, mages are included in the army, mostly Light Magic users. As well as Holy Magic..." Remus's eyes widen, horrified at the last part.

"You've got to be kidding right?! TH-" Brendan speaks out, before shutting his mouth realizing the same woman is still starring at him, angrily.

"Helena... Continue..." says Remus.

"The Holy Magic is sealed in artifacts, even though... it is still Holy Magic." says Helena.

The fourth person who was sitting to the left of Remus, a woman who looks to be around her forty's, bordering fifty's. She was looking to the throne like chair on her left, the only chair in the middle. She then stands up and walks behind the chair and holds it.

They all look at her and Remus asks "Meredith, what is wrong?"

"I wish he was here...." says Meredith.

"We all do..." says Remus, as the rest nod.

"Our soldiers, they don't have resistances or immunities to Light Magic, silver or the rest of the weaknesses. Not like us, he gave us immunity to Light Magic... But Holy Magic, that is something else." says Helena.

Remus stands up and says "There is no point in wallowing now, we will defend ourselves with what we have." they nod, except Brendan.

"WHAT DEFEND?! WITH WHAT!? There is nothing we have that will let us defend ourselves.... NOTHING! THEY HAVE AN ARMY, THEY OUT NUMBER US BY FIVE TO ONE... They have 20,000 soldiers, while we only have 4,000!" shouts Brendan.

"Calm down." says Meredith, firmly.

Brendan gulps and says "We were powerful in the beginning... then we were defeated, and we scattered, then again we became united and powerful, and then he died... and again we were hunted, scattered... defeated... I have said this along time ago, we should have ended them all." Brendan slumps down on his chair, saying the last part.

"I don't believe he is dead... He cannot be, he is strong, way more powerful than his mother." Meredith says, staring at the throne like chair...

[Vlad POV]

The crow lands four meters away from me and transforms into an old man, literally.

He smiles and says "You are different, you have become stronger, in body and" point to his head and continues "mind."

"Wise words..." I say grinning.

"Is that supposed to be a compliment...?" he asks confused.

"Is it now..." I say, standing up and circling him, I continue "Who are you, really?"

"I am just an old man, your old teacher." he says, smiling.

"Really... never knew gods could get so low to the point they would lie, really surprising." I say, still circling him, then stopping and look towards him, face to face. Two meters apart.

He smiles and says "Well aren't you the wise one." and continues "How did you know?"

"So you will not deny it?" I say, confused.

He scratches his beard with his left hand, shrugs and says smiling "Why do I need to... after all gods don't lie."

'You're kidding me right...' I think to myself, this guy is acting like a damned joker.

"No, I am not Loki, fortunately." he says.

I look seriously at him and say "Did you just read my mind..."

"No. I can't, you are special, different from the rest. All I read... or more like sensed is surface thoughts, which you can easily block or stop from happening." he says.

I nod and he continues "So... do you know who I am?"

"I know, just want you to say it." I say.

He motions for me to sit with him were I previously sat, so I did, I sat on his right and he says "I am Odin."

I nod... and look ahead, at the beautiful scenery.

"What's wrong boy?" he says.

"I know that you won't help anyone for free or for no reason. Which means I must be someone, someone important to you. I think I know who my father is now. Hendriksen told me before, that the only way for me to become what I am, something more than a Vampire Lord, and to have the aura and energy I do is that if my father is a deity." I say, looking at him.

"Yes. Do you know who?" he says.

I bring both my hands in front of me, looking at them they both start to get surrounded by lightning, pure blueish lightning. It isn't weak... instead it is quite powerful, it has an immense aura. Unfortunately, it is too chaotic and uncontrollable.

I stop and look at Odin. He is smiling, looking at my hands then me. He says "Yes, your father is Thor."

He sighs and says "My son, decided to one day go out, just like he did many of times before but, he didn't come back for a long time, I decided to check what is happening... and there he was, with a woman, no less a Vampire..." he looks at me "Don't take it the wrong way boy, just was surprised. Even though we can see many things and know many, doesn't mean we see and know everything."

"It is okay..." I say, and motion for him to continue.

He says grimly "Then, one day I felt so much hate, anger, rage.... so much rage and fury coming from Thor. That day it was disastrous. Storms were raging everywhere... shattering thunder and  devastating lightning... lightning of pure Divine Energy.... one that is very catastrophic and extemely chaotic. Thor was so angry he was unconsciously doing it, and unconsciously he cursed those related to your mother's killing and yours. Though, on you it didn't work, you were alive and that is my doing, I hid you. And I must say, I have done a fine job, since no one has found you yet." he says, laughing at the last part.

"But... That means you never told him that I was alive. Why?" I ask.

"Everything has a reason boy, this is just one of them that can't be told. I did what I felt was right, and since you are coming out now, finally after a hundred years, I think it is time your Father knew the truth. He will be very angry, probably..." says Odin, the last part chuckling nervously.

"Why didn't you try to save her." I said seriously, looking at him with a questioning gaze.

He looks at me, sighs and then says "Son, this world has powers far beyond even my understanding and knowledge, probably even my power... It might seem strange and a lie to you. But it is the truth nonetheless."

I ask confused "What does that have to do with my question?"

He looks at me seriously and says "Trust me boy, you don't need to know this now. One day, you will figure out what I was talking about..."

I nod and say "Thank you."

Odin smiles, puts his right hand on my shoulder and says "You are my grandson... the son of THOR!" he says the last with a shout.

I nod, smilingly. I thought this might go different way... a bad way but, it turned out good.

"Before I go, take this book." he give me a book, which he pulled from... I don't know, nowhere? He continues "It is on the deity's, majority is about Demi-gods, and Minor gods."

He stands up and look at me and says "Now, I must leave you to do your thing." he continues with a grin "Wherever you know of harm, regard that harm as your own and give your foes no peace." and he disappears...

"Well.... this was intriguing..." I say.

[Sir, I have information about The Elder Council...] says Archibald.

'What information, Archibald?' I ask.

[A kingdom of the Holy Church, Abalon, and some of the smaller kingdoms are getting ready to attack the rest of the Vampires.]
