In the Shaderift Valley, outside, Veyra was sitting quietly with Valeris watching over her. She had finished eating and gently leaned against the grass, eyes drifting shut for a moment before she sensed Asher near her.
"You okay?" Valeris asked, turning to see the familiar shadow of Asher approaching.
Asher gave a small nod as he came closer.
"Did you find anything?" Valeris asked.
"Yes," Asher replied. "There was a vampire city hidden deep in the valley."
Her eyes narrowed with curiosity. "by the way why I smell a vixen scent on you?"
"Its not waht you think," he said. "One offered me her blood. She felt... drawn to me. Probably because I carry the Progenitor's bloodline."
"You just drank her blood and nothing else?" Valeris raised a brow, studying his expression.
Asher shrugged, casual. "Yes. Just blood. Vampires are bound by instinct, especially when it comes to powerful lineages. There's no need to complicate it."
