---- creed On the other side of the continent, Rousse was pulling the strings behind the rest of the undead warriors. Zarek had brought with him his entire inner world, packed with an army that seemed inexhaustible. Only one lycan had apanied him: Drakkar, in search of his heart.

    When the horn sounded at the borders and the report reached the vampire Lord, nerves shot through the air "You''d better actually do something useful, because so far you''ve only given me promises!" He pointed at Frederick, who lowered his head submissively, but his eyes gleamed with hate and his teeth ground.

    Chanting the incantation and painting the runes with a bloodied finger, he began to fade into air that filled with fog. The same trick he''d used to escape Drir and his bitch. He''d managed to develop an inner world to hide in The rift opened and Frederick was about to vanish, but this time his hunters were different.
