Back at the Bloodfire estate.
It was a dark cloudy night in the manner with most of the servants performing their duties, which also includes the head maid of the estate.
Ksenia was going through the documents in the manner with a calm blank expression.
She has been worried about the twins since they left and haven't returned in a few days, but she knows they can take care of themselves. Since there aren't many supernatural entities in the city they couldn't handle.
But her main thought were of lord Sebastian as remonised on what his last words to her before he left.
'I shall be back in a few days, until than i need you to protect young Lazarus until I return.' He said in his usual calm, professional tone but Ksenia could sense a hint of protective instinct in his tone.
Something which was rare to hear from him as he didn't have any family and his only elegance were to the royal family...primarily the current queen.
"Yawn." Ksenia let out a yawned, stretching her arms. But than her sense when off as thunder rang, her gaze lingered through the window her eyes further away.
Teleporting in a small cloud of flames and appearing atop one of the buildings in the city.
Rain drops attempt to reach her, but they evaporated before even reaching her. She looked around and saw no irregularities around but as a elder vampire she wasn't that easily fooled.
*clink.*
As the sound of a sword being pulled at lightning speed but Ksenia dodged the attack.
She immediately retaliated by landing twostrikess across the face of her attacker sending them flying to another room.
The attacker didn't have tome to react as Ksenia appeared next to them as if she teleported there.
She kicked them in the head sending them upwards into the rainy sky dropping their weapon.
That Ksenia cought to analyze the weapon which was a aikuch that handle with a clean polished handle and a light blue curved edge blade.
She looked to were she launched the unknown attacker and jumped towards said direction. The heat that was coming off from her body began to increase.
She swung the sword aiming to sever the head of the assailant but to her surprised, as the blade came plummetting down the body turned into water and vanished.
'Hmmmm, I knew it.' But her realization was cut short as countless water bullets came towards her from all direction.
To which she blocked by spinning the blade around her which due to the speed of which she preformed the action created a circular sphere.
"Anata no gokazoku ga koko ni iru to wa odorokidesu. Ichido dake kikimasuga, nani ga nozomidesu ka?" (It is surprising to see a member of your family here. I'll ask this once and once only what do you want?" She spoke in fluent Japanese towards her attacker waiting to hear their response.
Nothing happened as the sound of rain drops hitting surfaces and being evaporated were the only things that could be heard until she heard the sound of a man's voice come from the darkness.
Thunder boomed as the lightning in the sky illuminated the area she was in allowing her to see the attacker and another who stood a few feet away.
The man walked over towards Ksenia and offer a slight bow before speaking.
"Kusenia-sama, kono yōna bureina go aisatsu o itashimashita koto, fukaku owabi mōshiagemasu. Desuga, watashi wa oi to mei o tsuremodosu tame ni mairimashita." (Allow me to offer my deepest apologies for this rude greeting, lady Ksenia. But i have come to request my nephew and niece to come with me.)
Ksenia let out a sigh of exhaustion as she tossed to blade back to its owner. "Come inside the manner and wait for them, as they should be returning later today."
She said as she disappeared from were she was leaving the men behind.
-
Inside a large hotel room.
Monica, Sofia, Ezekiel and Ren met up with father Mikhail and Alexia who were seated at a large round table having a discussion.
"First of I would like to say, I appreciate you coming here to join us father Mikhail and Sister Alexia." Ren said locking his fingers together and offering a smile toward the two.
Mikhail gave a gentle smile towards him back as he took a sip of his tea.
Alexia on the other hand offer a nodd but remained silent.
"Ahem! Well anyway I remember in the briefing we were told their was a large divine energy signature coming from this city. So I wanted to know if you have located the source or atleast the last known location?" He asked anticipation in his voice.
Mikhail paused from taking another sip of his tea. Placing the cup back on the table as he looked at Ren who still had his composed aura.
"Yes actually we found what we presumed to be source or to be more precisely whom." He said as he looked at Alexia, who with just a glance immediately went in her chest pocket and tossed 3 pictures of a singular male.
He possessed brown skin, long silver hair and eyes that matched the hair.
"From what we found his name is Lazarus Thomas. He seemwd to be an orphan as their were no records of his birth aside a couple of documents that were forged.
He also seemed to have connection with the Bloodfires, Sebastian Clockwork, the witch queen's youngest daughter and Ragnar Von Helsing. Which seemingly indicates that he's unknowingly had interactions with the supernatural.
And from what we've seen he doesn't seem to be that powerful yet since the Von Helsing was able to injure him severely."
He finished as the other four were looking at the photos of Lazarus but one of them was looking at it with a concerning amount of emotion. Which Mikhail noticed
"Sister Monica is something bothering you?" He questioned her as he eyes never left the photo.
"Well.... I actually know him quite well, considering he's my ex
