Chapter 660:  Rules of the Games

The twilight sky was clear as a score of Vampire women made their cautious yet determined journey towards Northwall. Giggles and excited whispers floated in the cool night air, but underneath the excitement, a hard knot of apprehension grew within them. Their arrival in Northwall was taboo, a forbidden action that had consequences they were all too aware of.

"Are you sure we should be this close to the city?" one of them whispered, her eyes darting left and right suspiciously.

"We have to," a stern voice answered. This was Emeria, a Lich, and the de facto leader of their group. "As dangerous as it is, we belong to this world as much as the angels do. We have our right to claim our place."

Walking through the shadows of the city, they kept a keen watch for any signs of Angelic presence. Their determination, however, was quickly met with trouble.
