The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 228 228: Yours

Just like before, even though he asked a question, he wasn't expecting a reply, and that was also the way it went. He didn't get an answer to his question, only silence.

"What am I even thinking? You're the true heir of immortality. You had this strength from as long as you can remember. Why would you be nervous." Atlas raised his hand a little and placed his hands under his head to make it more comfortable as he rested on top of the carriage.

"If only I could be as capable as you. But I can't. I'm living on a borrowed body. Even my life isn't my own at this point, let alone any strength. A fake will always be a fake, aren't I right?"

"Then again, even if I'm not a true Progenitor, I'm going to solve this problem for the entire world. No matter what it takes, I'm going to take out the Prince. That will be my lasting legacy..."

"Even if I am not as strong as you, I'll leave an imprint on this world."

Even though he didn't care about materialistic things like reputation or creating a name for himself, but at the moment, he wanted to do that. With death right at his door, he wanted to do something that would be his lasting legacy... Something that was going to be proof that he lived!

After resting for a few hours, Atlas once again returned back inside the carriage after the sun started rising outside.

He sat on the seat beside Misella and closed the door.

Misella was still in her meditation.

The carriage kept moving closer to the city; that was their goal.

At the same time, Lilith also contacted the other Progenitors, telling them to meet her if possible. She didn't want them to be separated when fighting like the last time.

When the entire world was on the line, it was time for them all to forget their own small conflicts and focus on the greater cause.

"Stop at the next city. We need to get some blood for Misella."

"We don't need to." Lilith rejected Atlas' suggestion. "The place where we're going, we'll be finding enough blood for her. So it's better not to disturb her meditation for something like that."

"We are going to be there soon in any case."

In a little over a day, the carriage finally reached their destination. The carriage driver slowed down as soon as she got near the small town in the distance, sending some danger.

"Vampires..." Vor commented. Even inside the carriage, he was able to sense the Vampires outside.

The carriage came to a stop as the carriage driver saw a hooded figure in the distance.

"Not the other Progenitors." Atlas didn't get the aura of the other Progenitors, which meant that these weren't the vampires that they had invited.

Atlas opened the door and stepped out, landing on the ground outside.

Lilith also stepped out behind him, and so did Vor and Lancaster.

The four of them looked in the distance, noticing a man standing right at the entrance of the city. They couldn't see the man's face as it was covered by a mask that covered the lower half of his face and a hood that made it hard to see his eyes.

For some reason, Atlas felt strange in their presence.

With time, more Vampires came out of the city. Soon, there were around fifty Vampires standing before the city in a row.

"What is this?" Atlas asked Lilith. "Wasn't this supposed to be a safe space for us where no one was going to be? Why are we at a Vampire hub from the looks of it?"

"They are strong." Vor frowned. "Possibly even stronger than the Blood Council Members."

"I think we should prepare to fight. This place is compromised..." Lancaster agreed, bringing out his Claws.

Atlas also nodded, but before they could do anything, they saw a strange phenomenon. The Vampire who stood at the center of the group went on one knee. The other Vampires also followed the suit and went on their knees respectfully as well.

"What is happening?"

"There's no need to fight," Lilith told Atlas, tapping his shoulders. "The ones before you aren't your enemies."

There was quite an amused expression on her face, but she knew she would have also been as shocked if she hadn't known.

All the Vampires took off their robes, revealing their faces. Most of the Vampires looked to be between the ages of twenty and forty, but the most shocking part was their eyes.

Their eyes weren't like any Vampire he had seen! Instead, their eyes were like him! Their eyes were green like Castiel's eyes. That could only mean one thing...

"Castiel's lineage?" he asked Lilith in shock. "Didn't you say he had no Lineage?"

"I told you what I knew before, but I just found out that I was wrong. Everyone you see before you are the First Generation Vampires created by Castiel."

"He didn't even inform me before creating them. I only found out when I was looking for a key for this place. There was no key, but only a letter which mentioned all this," Lilith answered.

She further explained, "According to the letter, after it was decided that he was going to sleep, he decided to create his own lineage. He knew that sooner or later, he was going to wake up, and then a situation like today was going to return. So he created his lineage and gave them a few centuries to become stronger for this war."

"In other words, he left you an entire army for you to fight with. Remember when you woke up, you asked if you had any Generals? I told you that you don't, but I was wrong. You have... They are before you!

"My Generals?" Atlas exclaimed in surprise. So Castiel had left some people already to help in the future?

Lilith didn't tell him the entire story either though. It wasn't the only thing she had managed to find in that letter! There was something more important...
