The Accidental Vampire

Tyler could guess the identities of others, but not of Luna as he never really heard about her. Amongst the stories of Castiel, only the stories related to Lilith and Vor were popular. Luna wasn't mentioned.

Luna smiled wryly. Even though she expected this, she still found it somewhat sad that she was the only person here who wasn't relevant enough to be recognized.

"I am Luna," she introduced herself since no one could recognise her on their own.

"Ah, Lady Luna, I remember now. You were also a friend of Lord Castiel around the time of the last war. It's said that it's because of you giving up your freedom, and Lord Castiel's sleep that the war was stopped. I remember you."

"You do?!" Even though Luna had to tell her name before being recognized, she still felt pleased that she was at least recognized.

"So you've been staying here ever since C- I mean l converted you?" Atlas asked, getting back on track.

"That's right. You told us that we didn't need to involve ourselves in the matters of the world, so we spent all our time here," the young man answered. "We didn't leave the Town and only focused on getting stronger."

"No wonder no one knew about this lineage," Atlas muttered. Castiel was known to not convert anyone. The news about him converting so many people should've been big news, but that wasn't the case. Even the Blood Council had no idea about it, which only went on to show just how good these people were at hiding.

"My Lord, please come inside our small town and rest. We heard the message and the threat. The war is on the horizon. After you rest, you can tell us your plan about how we will win this war."

Tyler didn't even suggest any plan he might have, or asked for a discussion on any plan. Instead, he expected Atlas to already have a plan as he had that much faith in him. And if his Lord had a plan, who was he to discuss it before the plan was finalized.

Tyler had blind trust in Castiel. Moreover, as he had only met Castiel a few times before Castiel went to his eternal sleep, he didn't know him well enough. He couldn't find any differences between Castiel and Atlaa.

Atlas agreed to the plan to enter the town with the others, but not to rest. There were more things to do first before they could rest.

"Lilith, go inside with Luna and prepare the formation to locate her brother. I'll wake up Misella."

He sent the others inside the town first, since they had more important things to do. He stayed behind to get Misella.

He also sent Lancaster and Vor inside. He walked back to the carriage and opened the door.

"Misella?" He called out, getting no response. Misella was still immersed in her meditation which made him smile. She was really too focused, which was a good thing.

He placed his hand on her shoulders and gently shook her. After intense shaking, Misella came out of her meditation, opening her eyes.

She gazed at Atlas. "What happened?"

"We are at our destination. Come out.'

Atlas reached out his hand. Misella held his hand and stepped out of the carriage.

Tyler was still there, watching Atlas treat Misella with such affection and respect. He could also feel that Misella's aura was quite powerful, even though she didn't look powerful. Her aura was definitely more powerful than the Aura of an ordinary Vampire

Her Aura was more on terms with a Progenitor. Even though Tyler hadn't seen any Progenitors other than Castiel, he had a feeling that Misella was one of them. But how? How was she a Progenitor? He knew that there were only Four Progenitors and all were men.

Was there really a fifth Progenitor that they didn't know about?

"Misella, meet Tyler. He is a friend as well. He will be helping us." Atlas introduced Tyler to Misella before introducing Misella, "and Tyler, this is Misella. She is my sister and someone that needs to be protected at any cost."

"Your Sister?" Tyler was quite surprised at this revelation. Castiel had a sister as well? And she was a Progenitor? How come the world didn't know about it? Did Castiel also keep it hidden for her safety like he asked them to remain in hiding until it was the right time.

Tyler respectfully lowered his head. "Lady Misella, it's great to be in your presence. Please enter our small town and rest there. You must be tired from the long journey."

"Ah, right." Misella was so overwhelmed with all the new information that she could only nod.

Atlas and Misella entered the town, being led by Tyler. At the same time, Tyler gave Atlas a briefing as to how much they had grown throughout the years and how much they had collected.

Even though a long time had passed since Castiel had disappeared after creating them, these people didn't waste even a single day of his life. They had been training all their lives, strengthening themselves as much as they could.

Moreover, as they were created by Castiel, they also had the Talent of being able to use spells like Castiel could, which made them even more versatile. Throughout the years, they had been sharpening their spellcaster skills as well.

"I see." Atlas was quite impressed at all that these people had managed to achieve but he didn't act too surprised since he was supposed to know all this.

Atlas entered the town which looked even more beautiful from the inside. Despite being in the middle of nowhere, the town looked quite modern, covering vast areas.

"Do you have humans here now?" Atlas asked Tyler. "Or only Vampires?"

"We don't have any humans here. It was just us, and now you're here as well," Tyler answered.

"I see. How do you feast them? If there are no humans, where do you get blood to keep going?" Atlas asked, slightly confused.

He could feast on the Vampire Blood because he was a Progenitor, but what about them?

As Atlas walked inside the town, the carriage also followed inside, carrying the Coffin of Atlas.

"We have employed a human. He makes all the dealings for us in the outside world. Every few months, the human comes with a great stock of blood that we store here. That's how we survive," Tyler answered. "In exchange for his blood, we pay him. Some of the money is what he passes onto the people that gave him the blood."

"I see, so you've established something akin to a supply chain. Not bad." Atlas nodded. "In that case, it's quite good."

"Can you bring one of the blood bags for me?" he asked, but not for himself. He needed it for Misella. She needed to have a feast, even though she didn't want it. It was important.

"Of course." Tyler commanded one of his men to bring a few bags of blood for their Lord.

Misella understood why he was calling for the blood, but she could do nothing. If Atlas said that it was important for her, she chose to believe it. She didn't want to lose herself in the Bloodlust, hurting everyone around her. If drinking blood was something she couldn't avoid, then so be it.

Since it was something she just had to do, she decided to give it a try, no matter how hateful and disgusting it was.

"My Lord, what are they doing?" As Tyler reached the middle of their town, he saw Lilith making a huge formation on the roads. From this distance, he couldn't recognise this formation, but even if he could, he wondered what was the need for it.

"That's part of our plan," Atlas answered. "To defeat the enemy, we first need to know where the enemy is hiding. That's what Lilith is trying to do."

"Through that formation and with the help of Luna's blood, she should be able to locate the rough location of the person who is leading this war against us," he continued.

"I see. And after we find his location, we will attack them? That is good. We might be able to overwhelm them."

"Not we, I will attack them. You all will stay behind."

"What? Why? We also want to help our Lord in this war. This has been the purpose of our life! Ever since you saved our village from destruction and gave us new life, we wanted to help you. Now that we have an opportunity, why do you want to keep us away? Did we do something wrong?"

Tyler wondered if Castiel was disappointed at them because they weren't strong enough. Was that why he didn't want to use them? Because it was embarrassing for him to have such a weak lineage?

"You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that my plan only needs me to attack. Lilith and Vor won't be coming with me either," Atlas clarified, stunning Tyler.
