Sebastian looked down at Lazarus's unconscious body with unknown emotions in his eyes. As he gaze lingered in Lazarus, his mind took him back twenty-one years ago.
In the rain in a dark forest he remembered a woman crying surrounded but dead bodies. Some were disfigured, crushed or drained of their blood.
Sebastian remember the woman held a bright red swaddle that was torn. She held it close to her chest as she wailed.
"..." Sebastian thought he'd never be able to repay the debt he owed Dracula but, now he can. He slightly lifted Lazarus head and poured the two blood into his mouth.
The 2 containers of blood were very special the first was the blood of the current ruler of of his kind the Vampire queen and the second was the blood of a virgin Saint.
The blood ofbthe vampire queen is said to be so potent it's dangerous for most vampires to drink it recklessly. Due to the fact she's the direct grandchild of both progenitors, and its said that if you can survive the amount of blood given your strength and potential will skyrocket.
The blood of a virgin saint is quite dangerous as it can be considered a drug to vampires. As it's well-known that virgin blood is vampires most preferred, as it's known that virgin blood due to it's purity is a superior to non-virgins.
But a saint blood can be considered toxic thanks to the divine energy that embedded into their bodies.
So what Sebastian was doing was testing if this boy was who he believed he was. At first nothing happened as Sebastian looked at Lazarus. "Hmmm seems nothing is happening yet."
But as he said that Lazarus eyes opened abruptly, as he began to convulse and shake. His body than erupted in 3 colored flames those being white, black, and red.
Sebastian was shocked to see this but was shocked him more were the wings that came-out of Lazarus back they were as black as the night but the feathers at the end were a deep red color. As his flames died down.
Sebastian could be more certain of his suspicions. He held Lazarus hand and knelt while he was still unconscious. He shed a tear that went down his face. "Thank you for being alive, your highness my prince."
"Her majesty will be ecstatic to know your alive." He with a small smile on his face that weirdly conveyed the emotions of a grandfather looking at his grandchild.
He walked out of Lazarus room to see that Cassandra, Lason and Ksenia were standing outside waiting for him.
"How is he?" Lason asked his eyes were stoned cold but Sebastian could see through him.
"He's fine he'll need a bit of bed rest and he should be alright after that."
Lason and Cassandra let out sighs of relief to know that.
"But I'd like to ask you 2 some questions about Lazarus if you don't mind?" Sebastian said in a calm voice.
Cassandra and Lason gave each-other a brief look that could have been their own conversation. "Depends on what you want to know.

Inside a deep red ocean Lazarus floated aimlessly through it like a leaf being guided by the wind.
But suddenly his body began to be wrapped in pain as three things entered him.
One felt familiar to him similar to being embraced by a mother.
The second felt like the flow of time.
And the last was some that contained both purity and divinity inside it.
Lazarus could feel an invisible force pull him up from the ocean.
When he opened his eyes he was laying on cold stone tiles. He rose from the ground and heard a familiar voice. "You know I'm kinda surprised you did that to Ragnar. Would've thought you'd have killed him, but no, you actually just injured him than healed him with your flames." Dakarai finish as he took a bite of a biscuit.
As Lazarus rose his eyes had a glint of anger in them. "Where were you? I called for you guys when I was getting attacked?!. He roared.
"Let me ask you something. If we help you with everything what will you learn. If you still have the training wheels on? Cause we aren't a system they we help you by giving you some random power-up. You need to earn it." He finished as he summons a coffee mug in his hand.
Lazarus upon hearing that he couldn't retort, mainly because he knows Dakarai is right? He sat down at the table with Dakarai.
Both sat in silence until Lazarus spoke up. "What was the large shadow wolf and the white cat with Ragnar?" Dakarai didn't seem surprised by the question.
"Well... the big dog was actually the Beast of Gevaudon. An ancient spirit of vengeance. Meanwhile the cat is a new spirit probably only 30 years old." He said as he continued to eat the biscuits.
"Anything else's you want to know?" Dakarai asked.
"What were those 3 things that entered my body?" Lazarus asked as he picked one cookie.
Dakarai smiled as he spoke."Well, the first was the blood of an elder vampire probably a Strigoi, the second was the blood of your mother, and the last was the blood of a virgin saint. They will probably help heal you of that chest injury you received."
Lazarus looked down at his chest and noticed a red and gold crack mark in the area Ragnar stabbed him in.
"Soo... allows me to show you what we've gained from those 3 blood samples." He finished as he snapped his fingers.
They suddenly appeared in the colosseum where Amaris was. She sat in a meditative position and her eyes closed.
"Will she be joining us? Lazarus with the small shiver running up his spine.
Dakarai looked at him with s small smile on his face. "No need to worry she won't be joining us since she's trying to regain her own power back."
Dakarai stopped in the center on the colosseum. He clapped hsi hands together and Lazarus could even describe what he was looking at.
He saw a bright golden clock floating above his head with red numbers and black clock-hands.
This is Chrono-watch, a time based ability. It allows you to manipulate time in a certain radius from your body.
