Lucifer stood atop the great black walls of the vampire city of Adelvania, gazing out at the horrors below. They stacked the bodies of the human knights high, impaled by arrows and torn apart by spells. It was a scene of devastation, but Lucifer felt a sense of relief wash over him. They had fended off the first attack.
'So far, so good. I hope that nothing bad happens after this. However, this loss should garner the attention of their king. He will not accept losing to vampires… Let's double my training… Maybe triple!'
He turned his head to see Emura, the beautiful red-headed half-dragon, standing at his side. He gave her a soft nod, acknowledging her role in their victory. Emura returned the nod, her heart racing at the attention of her beloved leader.
'My lord, why must you train so hard? Can we not fight for you and be beside you? I would give my very soul to support your fight!'
