The Accidental Vampire

Atlas had been under quite a lot of stress since he believed he had to face Atlan and Yovana. He was in a race against time before. But now that he managed to retrieve the stone from Atlan, his stress went down quite a lot. Now the only opponent that he had was Ramiun, which was comparatively more relaxing.

He had dealt with all the Progenitors. Now all he needed to do was deal with someone who was strong but not on the level of a Progenitor, and he had quite some time for that. He still wanted to finish the task at hand as fast as he could, but he could also relax for now, take a few moments to breathe, and have some fun.

Because of what he went through, he was forced to grow up and mature fast, never being able to live his childhood. But now that things had started falling to place, he was starting to recover his old self that he barely managed to experience.

Along the journey to the nearest town, he and Lancaster talked about lots of things. There was a lot of laughter as the two friends and Lilith actually bonded quite a lot.

"After you get Misella back, what will you do next?" Lancaster asked, along the journey on foot.

"After I get her back?" A beautiful smile spread across Atlas\' face. "I will introduce her to you two. She would love to know you. And then, we will go somewhere nice on a vacation, where I can spend whatever time I\'ll have left with you all... With my family..."

Atlas had already visioned what he wanted to do. He didn\'t even have to think about the question before answering.

He didn\'t have much time. A month was the most he could have, and even that seemed unlikely at the moment. So even if he managed to bring back Misella as soon as he could, he could only have a week or so in this world before his Soul was going to be destroyed.

He wanted to spend his last few weeks with the people that were truly like his family. He wanted to send it with Misella, Lancaster, and Lilith.

​ He wanted to introduce Misella to these two since these two were going to be her family when he disappears. These two were going to protect her, not that she was going to need any protection since she was going to be a Progenitor by then. Still, it was good that she was going to have some company after he left.

"What about you? What\'s your plan after we are done?" Atlas asked in return, seeing the mood getting somewhere serious. "Will you go to the Kingdom of Wolves? Or will you start a new clan of your own, like your Ancestor?"

"Go back to the Kingdom of Wolves? Razil said I\'m not allowed to be there. That place isn\'t my home, and I am sure I\'ll be attacked again if I go there again. As for starting a new clan... Who knows? It\'s quite possible. A clan of my own..."

"What about you Lilith?" Atlas shifted his attention to Lilith, who was still in his arms. "The old Castiel will be back after I\'m gone. You would be quite relieved, right? You\'ll be able to meet him again."

Lilith didn\'t say anything. She didn\'t know why, but this question felt quite uncomfortable for her. She wanted Castiel back! Castiel was his family, and she had been with him for centuries. Those two had become a family. She truly wanted him back, but just the thought that Atlas was going to be gone forever was quite upsetting.

She didn\'t understand why, but there was an uncomfortable feeling in her heart and a tinge of sadness.

Even she didn\'t understand what her heart wanted. All she knew was that Castiel needed to come back, but she also didn\'t want to lose Atlas. Castiel was like her family, but Atlas… She didn\'t understand why she felt so attached to him, but she didn\'t want to lose him.

"Finally, we are there!" Lancaster suddenly exclaimed, noticing a town in the distance. They had been walking for a really long time, and finally, they had reached the next town. Even Lancaster was feeling tired at this point.

Not only was he tired, but he was hungry as well.

His words distracted Atlas as well, who also looked at the town. "For some reason, this journey felt shorter than I had expected."

Atlas entered the town. As soon as he and Lancaster entered, they attracted everyone\'s attention right away.

Atlas\' clothes were covered in blood entirely. As for Lancaster, he barely had any clothes. He just had a robe that was wrapped around his waist. Scars were visible all over his body, along with the Blood that had dried up.

The citizens of the town were frozen in place. Some even started entering the nearest building they could find to hide. As for the others, they didn\'t dare move even an inch, scared that they might get attacked if they ran. These people were too strange.

Atlas ignored the people. They had already passed through this town before. Just because they were in their carriage, no one saw them. However, from inside the carriage, Atlas had already seen a hotel in the town.

He didn\'t need to ask anyone where the hotel was. Being stared at by all the citizens, he kept walking.

"You know, you can put me down. I am fine now." Lilith felt somewhat embarrassed, being carried like this before everyone. She didn\'t know why. She never felt like this before.

"Are you sure?"

"I am. I can walk now."

"If you say so."

Since they were already in the town, Atlas placed Lilith on the ground.

With Atlas in the center, the group of three walked to the nearest hotel.

As they entered the hotel, even the hotel staff was horrified.

"We need three rooms for the night." Atlas placed a gold coin on the table before the receptionist.

The receptionist was already scared. There was no way he could say no to these people, especially as he noticed Atlas\' fangs when he spoke. It was evident that this person was a Vampire! He had to be an idiot to offend a Vampire!

He gave them three keys right away before instructing a staff member to escort the guests to their room.

It was already very late at night, and everyone was very tired. They were also covered in blood and sweat. That made Atlas decide to take rooms for everyone so they could take a nice shower and rest before looking for a carriage.

The staff member kept his eyes down as he escorted Atlas and his friends to the rooms on the first floor. They were given rooms right beside each other.
