Dawn Of Twilight

'I doubt the old ba*stard Lucian is so naïve as to believe the old Dracula was so altruistic. We have bartered every time the price for my help. When I have taken risks, it was only because the alternative was worse than the previous one. I like his selling pitch, though.'

Tobi stood at the front of the crowd of nobles, as he waited for Vampire Ancestor Lucian to finish his long and boring speech, but then the entire hall seemed to shudder fiercely from a large tremendous tremor that ran across the entirety of the hall, followed by a burst of hysterical laughter.

Immediately, Tobi felt something strange inside of him as if he had been heavily punched hard in the stomach, almost knocking the air he had out of his lungs.

His face turned pale with a nausea feeling, that gave him the urge to almost vomit, but bȧrėly restrained himself.

After a few seconds, Tobi opened his bloodshot eyes as the sudden feeling he felt suddenly disappeared, but the nervousness he was feeling made him to promptly activate his Mana vision, scanning the surrounding in search of the voice that had spoken, but the only living beings he could feel or see were the Ancient Vampires, witches, Holy humans and Lycanthropes, and other exception of the race who stood oblivious to the voice or tremor.

Everything seemed to be practically normal.

'Okay, this is a bit weird. Why does no one seem to care about what the hell is going on?'

Tobi was a grow a bit nervous was this a high ranked celestial? he didn't know what was happening or why he was the only one who obviously heard the voice or the strange nausea pain he felt, but he was still trying to think of a solution and how to quickly inform Horus or Vampire Ancestor Lucian.

'There is no need to search or inform anyone, I'm not your enemy, little one.'

'Okay, who the hell are you? And where the heck are you?' Tobi ignored the side remark, also afraid to start looking around in order not to invite unwanted attention toward himself, since the enemy was untraceable even by the powerful presence of the Sovereigns then using his highly enhanced Awakened Hybrid senses was surely useless.

'Don't look around, little one. I'm your alternate ego 'Monarch.'

Hearing the name, Monarch, Tobi had no clue who this was but he could only ȧssume, it was one of the bloodline Egos. If he had awakened, then there was something going to be amiss, this was what Horus had told him.

'Enough with all the names and riddles, what exactly do you want? Cus obviously I don't see the need for your presence when there is no threat to my life?'

Again, Tobi had no idea how the bloodline works, since even Horus who had once been the trusted aide, of the previous Pride Dracula didn't also understand exactly how it worked, there was obviously less to be talked about when it came to him.

'I see.....that guy hasn't awakened yet. Must mean I am the only one who is out of the slumber then, sigh.....Then it wouldn't be fun without him around.'

'Okay, I will say this one last time enough with all these stupid riddles, and who the heck are you and what do you want from me?' Tobi said, a bit annoyed.

'I'm you, you are me, but at the same time not also you.'

"Please step forward, my Lord."

Tobi did as instructed, standing on the front stair just before the raised platform floor as the ceremony required. Vampire Ancestor Lucian placed his right hand over Tobi's shoulder, while holding an embroidered silver crossed pendant representing an enchanted item of authority, over his other shoulder in the other hand.

"No matter how much our praises are worth, it wouldn't be enough for the kindness Pride Dracula or the Ancient Seven Deadly Sins members had shown on us when we were on the brink of extinction, your places in our hearts can never be replaced because you have shown us so much kindness.

"You saved our lives during previous celestials attack, and you made an unfathomable contribution in defending our worlds, today we hereby celebrate your return as the king of Sovereign, Pride Dracula. From henceforth it will serve as both your might and power, extended from generation to generation, with magical tapestries which would recount your tales, the tales of the ruler of the Ancient Seven Deadly Sins.

"This is a fallen star pendant it grants to you and you alone the defense of a Breaking Dawn Primal. As for it other prospects you will have to find out for your self my Lord, starting from today we shall no more fear the celestials neither shall we hide like turtles, because if Ancient Seven Deadly Sins stand before us, no matter celestials or not, they shall not stand before us.

"Congratulations, my Lord Pride Dracula!"

Tobi nodded as he was directed to seat at the middle chair on the raised platform. The four Sovereigns and other members of the Royal family applauded him, immediately followed by a standing ovation from the numerous guests. Tobi sat without making much expression, except a few nods and smiles even though he was supposed to be happy. Another milestone as Pride Dracula plan had fallen into place.

Yet all he felt was emptiness, meaningless. Just like the sound of his new name or title.

****

In a room, of the Holy human's world.

Within a complex large building, the sounds of light footsteps could be heard slightly resonating within the room.

In the darkness of the room, a male with a Golden crown and blazing gaze as though like the sun slow-walked in.

The room was more than five hundred feet large, was filled with large and tall shelves of various sizes. The number of shelves within the room seemed to be a bit numerous, some were empty while the others were filled with either Mana crystals or scrolls spines.

Amid the shelves was a single bed, and at the top of the bed was a girl sitting legs crossed on it.

The girl had a hair shade of both silver and light blue, and her eyes seemed to be slightly closed.
