Chapter 488 Gaining the Shadow ability
Presumably, life couldn't have been any better for the life of Arthur and his people. Not only had they vampires helped him in great battles, but the technology that they didn't have access to was taught to their people and spread around. Medicine and knowledge were passed that saved hundreds and thousands of lives. The kingdom name fame and fortune was spreading around because of these things.
The things that had happened he could have never dreamed of, but there were problems in all this. The first being that Arthur seemed to never age. Most vampires could control their ageing process and slow down, but as for those that were deemed the first vampires, including himself. It was as if they were stuck. Never growing older or younger. Soon others around would start to notice. While some thought he was blessed by gods, others did believe that it could have been the work of demons.
To quell these rumours, Arthur started to see his people less and less. And rumours of him getting sick had appeared. He was preparing for his time when he would no longer be their king.
The second being, he knew the vampires wanted something for all they had done for him, and quite honestly he was happy to give it to them, even at the cost of his own life.
He had been asked to meet the vampires at the settlement they had made for themselves. All Arthur had done was given them a plot of land, and the materials from time to time to get them started. The plot of land was located bin the high hills. A terrain that was unfavourable for most to get to, and it would be hard for one to build land on. This place had been kept secret and removed from all the charted maps.
When Arthur was younger, he had gone to such a place to train himself. There he had seen the most beautiful peaceful land that had a stream like a river running throughout it, surrounded by hills. Untouched.
This was the land he had given them. He hadn't visited the place, since the vampires would have always come to him, so it was his first time seeing it since back then.
When he had finally scaled the top of a hill, he looked down, and he could see what seemed to be an entire city that had been built. There were thirteen castles built in a semi-circle like shape around the settlement but a large space left untouched in the middle.
"How did they do this so fast, it would have taken many years for us to create something like this." It was comparable to Arthurs own kingdom, only it was built in a fraction of the time. With a little more help and time, they would soon grow.
'What would have happened if the vampires were to try and attack humans?' Arthur wondered, if the human race didn't outnumber the vampires, then it would be a different story. Before they were never able to grow but for the first time, they were allowed to, and that was thanks to Arthur's help.
But there was one thing that vampires needed the humans for… their blood.
Entering the settlement, Arthur was welcomed by one of the First. The first vampires were now changed to the leaders and the leader that greeted him was the one who would often come and see him. The tenth leader…The same person who had turned him.
At first, Arthur was weary about him, he seemed stranger than the others, but then he realised that he was strange in a good way. Often more times than not, he would be the one to convince the others if Arthur wanted something.
