Bab 660:  Rules of the Games

The twilight sky was clear as a score of Vampire women made their cautious yet determined journey towards Northwall.

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.
