beginnings of a battle
Said the coyote , as he moved closer towards Araticus in a defensive manner .
"But this is fascinating , a dog giving orders to another dog , I think your mother would be very disappointed in the creature you have become ."
Araticús murmured in the coyote's ear .
"Don't you dare mention my mother , her name doesn't deserve to be uttered by your filthy mouth".
The rage on the coyote's face was evident , his sharp teeth began to sprout over his lower lip , as he heard Araticús words .
"You're right I shouldn't mention his name , nor assume what he would think of you . Let's ask him directly what he thinks of this whole affair , and the life you lead as a lazy human helper."
As soon as I heard Araticús words a strong question mark came to my memory , the coyote had never said anything about his mother . The only thing I heard about her was that she had left him a gigantic library. I thought his mother had died , but apparently it wasn't that way .
"Shut up do not say stupid things , I will not be manipulated by your lies . My mother is dead and you know it very well , because you killed her when you found out that I was born of a human , and not a pure blood vampire like you ."
Said annoyingly the coyote , while Araticus smile glittered with a certain bright .
"I see you have a very good memory , but I think you're missing a small detail . I have abilities to bring the dead back from their graves , and I can bring your mother back to your side if you want "
Araticus' offer was quite tempting, I guess the coyote wanted his mother back, but I have a nagging intrigue as to why he didn't mention anything about her death to me.
"I don't need you to bring back my mother in the form of an unrecognizable beast, let the dead rest in peace and get the hell out of my sight already."
Hearing the coyote's rejection of Araticus' offer made it more than clear to me that the coyote would not yield to any manipulation, even if it was advantageous to him .
"I think you are the ones who should get the hell off my property , in the end you are just a couple of creeping intruders" .
"Sure , we are intruders because we have refused to pander to his majesty's wishes , and that evidently causes discomfort to the royals . When he has no lackeys to serve him , it voluntarily generates a certain irritation in the atmosphere ."
The words of the coyote , made Araticús change his lurking smile for a grimace of nonconformity that I liked . I felt an air of confidence that tucked me , and I decided to go down to support him in some way .
"I think you're all said and done and we'd better leave , nothing we're going to do here ."
I said in a serious way coming down from the top of the tree quickly .
"Wow , it's about time you deigned to show your face to your creator . You are going to regret having chosen the wrong side of this battle , but as I am not rancorous I will leave the door open in case one day you regret it , and decide to take the winning side ."
Araticús persuasive words sought to destabilize me , but I had already made sure that I was on the right side of the battle , and I was not going to argue that with anyone , least of all with the malevolent prince of vampires .
The coyote went into attack mode and flew over Araticus, but I grabbed him by the leg and pulled him down to the ground.
"Leave him alone, he's not worth our time".
Hearing my words , the coyote looked at me in a serious way but understood the message of my gesture , and decided to go down to the ground and mark our retreat .
" I see that your disciple learned to master the situations in a short time , I wish you would not leave so soon , I think it would be good for the twins to pass by to greet them , remember that diplomacy in the basis of royalty ."
Araticús words made the coyote diverted his gaze to the night sky , and suddenly two characters jumped each to our side and their looks were not at all friendly .
"I don't think Christian has had the pleasure of meeting my two adopted children Sara and Emes . They are the right hand of my entire kingdom and I think it would be good for them to give him a taste of their power before they depart to their holes "
"You wouldn't dare start a power encounter here, I don't want to have to remind you that I have an army of hunters ready to penetrate your beloved crystal kingdom and bring it down "
Araticus' face upon hearing the coyote's threats did not exert any gesture of weakness .
" What do you want us to do with these two father ?"
Asked Sara , the older twin with an intimidating look perched on me .
I had read about the abilities of the Pocaterra twins in the book that was in the library, from the coyote and the things I knew about them were quite intimidating.
Emes Pocaterra was nothing more than a vampire with profound gifts useful to Araticus , he was his adopted son , he made him leave his former life as a young peasant from the farms of Exon . To recruit him as another young man in his guard . Emes did not refuse to comply with the requests of Araticus , as his mother had just died of tuberculosis and possibly he would also be infected and without any security to live .
He became for a time a vampire trainer of neophytes until he was promoted as commander of the Clan Pocaterra guard, and his opinion was very important to Araticús as were his extraordinary abilities.
Emes' gifts, in a way, were Sara's antidote, she made him feel the worst pain imaginable. Emes, on the other hand, made you feel nothing. Absolutely nothing. Sometimes, when the Pocaterra were feeling kindly, they would have Emes anesthetize someone before executing them. However, it is said that he possessed a powerful gift. It was because of these gifts that they were highly respected if not feared among the Pocaterra, and the rest of the vampire world. Sara and Emes together were the winning team and a strong defense for the Clan .
Emes' gift was to numb the senses (sight, taste, hearing, touch and smell) of anyone he chose. The manifestation of Emes' gift occurred when shortly before being turned he was attending to his sick mother and upon hearing her cries of pain, and her distressing symptoms, Emes focused on escaping the pain of seeing his mother caused him, and his ability manifested itself in cutting off the senses of any human or vampire.
Emes could selectively or completely block the senses of several people at the same time , which allowed the Pocaterra easily execute their opponents . When he used this ability , it manifested in the form of a thick misty fog that moved slowly towards its target , and could not be affected by physical materials such as wind or gravity . Unlike Sara , Emes could affect several targets at once , therefore , making him as dangerous as she was . For this reason, he was the Pocaterra's strongest weapon in combat. However, while Sara's power worked almost immediately, Emes' power required time to take effect. The Pocaterra would sometimes send Emes to anesthetize a criminal before executing him to avoid complications, if that criminal had pleased the Pocaterra in any way.
Since her gifts were far-reaching, her adoptive sister fought from the sidelines, under the protection of bodyguards. Their main objective was to paralyze the senses of the guilty party, so they could not flee or defend themselves during the deliberation or execution.
The three heads of the most powerful clan in the vampire world were fearsome, and no one had the courage to break the laws they had imposed, which prevented their kind from mixing with humans.
