The Palace Beast
Chapter 103 - Mystery Untold

Bonnie slammed the chief to the table and held him to the table. "How dare you!"

"Your companion was here!"

"Where is he, speak before I rip out your heart."

Vampires can rip out another vampires' heart or even a werewolf heart. This is the easiest way for a vampire to kill other vampires or werewolves or even some other creatures. However, this type of killing does not work on the first vampires or original vampires. "Unhand me and I will tell you."

"After what you did to me you want me to play by your terms?"

"If I wanted you dead, I would have killed you when your companion left me with you to go save Neena."

On hearing this, Bonnie lets go of the chief. She was troubled that John left her to go save Neena. She looks sad that John could choose to save Neena over her whilst she was in danger around the chief. "Where is he now?" she asked in a sad voice. The look on her face was total sadness as it can be clearly seen.

The chief helps himself down from the table. He glances at Bonnie. "He has not returned since he left."

"Was he the one that found me here?"

She wanted to be sure John still cares for her. She woke up not to see him but the very face of the man that put her to sleep by pinning her into a coffin.

"Yes. He was the one that saved you from me."

"And he still left me with you so that you can finish what you started."

"If I do that, he won't fulfill his own end of the deal."

"What deal are you talking about?"

"He asked me to watch over you after he fed you with his blood, in return, he will enchant on lapis lazuli stone for me."

...At Maxis...

The two guards placed to watch over Gallo and to monitor him while he was still locked up in the dungeon were standing at the entrance of the dungeon when they started hearing the continuous dangling of the chains coming from Gallo's dungeon.

"We can't turn a deaf ear to this dangling sound," said the first guard with a blue cape around his shoulders.

"What do you propose?" asked the second guard with a red cape around his shoulders.

"I propose we go in there and hit him so hard."

The first guard quickly brought out the key to the dungeon and inserted it into the keyhole.

Walking inside the dungeon, Gallo moved faster than their eyes could see and slammed shut the door of the dungeon. "Welcome to my home," he said with a fake smile.

The two guards swallowed a lump in their throat as one of them spoke with a quivering voice. "Please spare us."

"I will after I have done this."

Gallo has been busy since he was locked up. He has been picking the locks of the chains with his long nails. Over his years of being a vampire, he hardly trimmed his nails. He let them grow as he seems fit.

He grabbed the two guards and brought them close to his eyes as he stared deep into their eyes with this command, "You will go to your King and tell her you have found a way to kill me. Make her follow you to this place."

Vampires can influence human will using a mind-controlling ability known as 'glamoring.' In addition to hypnotizing humans, vampires are also able to lay claim to humans in order to keep other vampires from feeding on them - although vampires are more likely to only obey other bloodsuckers who outrank them in age and seniority.

The first vampires can control the mind of other vampires simply through eye contact; however other vampires can't control their fellow vampires. While most vampires use 'glamoring' with verbal commands, this is not heeded as a necessity. Gallo just clamored the two guards by staring into their eyes and with commands.

"We will do as you have commanded us," they said as Gallo unhands them. He giggled and then walked back to where he was chained.

...Mystic Cave...

The argument with John about whether to rescue the warlocks made Neena forget she still have a target. But she was suddenly reminded when Eris stormed into the Mystic Cave. She blasted Neena to the rock with a fire blast. The fire blast came out from Eris' spear. She spins her spear incredibly fast and hurls it into the air--allowing her to be pulled into flight towards Neena via an unbreakable strap attached to the spear's handle.

John didn't want to interfere as he only stood a few paces away to watch. He thought to himself, 'Perhaps this goddess will kill her and I will be free from her and be with Bonnie.' Not quite long another thought came to him, 'If she's dead, I will never replace answers and I might lose my chances of getting home.'

As Eris held Neena down with her foot against her shoulder's blade and with her spear pointed at her, John stretched out his hand for his wand. He then spins the wand incredibly fast and hurls it into the air-allowing him to be pulled into flight towards Eris.

As John was about pouching at Eris, she swiftly turned and blasted John to the rock with a fire blast from her spear. "Stay out of this mortal, this is not your fight," she said.

"This is my fight," John dragged himself up to his feet. "You will let her go now!"

"Or what?"

"Or you will have a taste of my fury."

"Then you are welcome to try. I will be honored in killing you too."

"Be my guest," said John as spins his wand and hurls into the air.
