The Accidental Vampire

Vor didn't know much about anything at this point, so he had to be informed about everything related to where they were all going.

He also tried to know why they destroyed the Franc Clan and everything that happened since Atlas woke up.

He knew why he wanted to destroy the Franc Clan, but what about them? Why would they do it?

Lilith only gave a brief explanation that they had some conflict with the Franc Clan where the Franc Clan possessed something which belonged to them. To get that back, they needed to infiltrate the Franc Clan, but when things went south, they had to fight and destroy the Franc Clan.

The basic explanation seemed to be enough for now, but that made Vor even more curious.

"What should that thing be?" he inquired, glancing at Atlas. Just what could make Atlas destroy an entire clan since he rarely did something like that?

He could just take whatever he wanted. He often tried to not wipe any clans from their roots unless they were a big threat to him.

"Atlan," Atlas answered. "They didn't have what I needed, but Atlan did. Unfortunately, they had Atlan as a hostage, so I had to take some drastic steps to get to him. I had to free Atlan, and that was the plan at the core. Everything else went from there."

"However, that goal also had some foolishness mixed in it," he further stated before talking about Yovana and how they were fooled by her.

Usually, people didn't spoke of embarrassing things, like being fooled by such a stupid lie, but Atlas didn't find it embarrassing. It happened, so there was no need to hide it.

It took around two hours to get Vor up to date with things that were happening around the world, but once they finished explaining, he seemingly understood everything and didn't ask anything else. There was nothing left to ask either since he was told the entire story from the beginning. Only some crucial parts were removed to keep the story consistent about Atlas losing his memories.

"I'm quite curious to see this Misella... The person who can make Castiel her brother," Vor commented, slightly curious who this Misella was going to be.

The carriage kept moving through day and night without stopping even for a moment. Moreover, as it was the Royal Carriage of a Blood Council Lord, it was also the fastest carriage that Atlas had ever been in.

The carriage moved at almost twice the speed of the last carriage that they had been in, covering distance even faster for them.

The journey which would've taken a long time could be completed in half the time, which made Atlas quite pleased since that only saved some time for him.

Vor had promised to reach Lancaster through battle from the next day, but the plan had to be dropped since Atlas didn't want to stop for now.

Now that Atlas had all four Key Fragments, he didn't want to waste a single second for now! He wanted to get to Misella as fast as he could, to bring her back to life. Only then could he relax.

Moreover, Vor was going to be with them for quite some time. There was no hurry in the training, which could wait a few days. Vor also didn't mind waiting as he spent time inside the carriage.

Instead of wasting time, he started teaching Lancaster about other things, mostly imparting physical skills and battle tactics that could be used by a Werewolf when fighting multiple enemies.

Vor was also an excellent strategist and had led many wars, which he rarely lost. The only battle that he lost was the most important battle of his life… The battle where he lost his entire family... The battle which was less of a battle and more of an ambush that came out of nowhere.

Vor was teaching Lancaster since Castiel was already supposed to know all these things, but Atlas still listened as well. This information was useful even for him. All these battle tactics were quite intriguing and deep.

The teaching was for Lancaster, but since they were all inside the same carriage, Atlas also managed to grasp that knowledge, not wanting to let it go to waste.

"And that's how you trick them into falling into your trap. You got it?"

"I did." Lancaster nodded. "Give me a few minutes to go through it in my mind."

Lancaster closed his eyes and tried to memorize everything that he was informed.

Atlas also understood everything. His memory was already pretty good, which helped him learn everything faster. Not only had he learned the strategy, but he also managed to imagine how it could be used in his previous fighting instances to make things a bit easier for him.

With a practical example in his mind, he realized that this was a pretty good trick that could shorten the battle, as long as their enemy wasn't smart enough to decipher what they were trying to do.

"We are almost there."

Atlas was immersed in his learning that he even forgot how much time had passed. He looked out the window after hearing Lilith's reminder. She was right! They were actually there! They were right at the entrance of his village.

The carriage finally entered the village, stopping in the center of the village. The carriage driver came down, but he didn't even need to open the door. Atlas was already in such a hurry that he already opened the door and stepped out.

He looked all around the village, which looked the same as before. He gazed at the forest in the distance. His figure flickered as he ran. He didn't even wait for the others since he was in such a hurry.

"He is quite excited," Vor commented, smiling. He also ran after Atlas. The others also followed suit, entering the forest behind Atlas.

Atlas located where the grave was supposed to be, thanks to the beautiful flower that only he and Lilith could see. He stopped before Misella's grave.
