The Vamanwolf by S.S. Raees (fox in socks read aloud .TXT) 📕

change and revolve into another place. I was standing at the base of a mountain. My eyes readjusted and I could view the peak.

The only weird thing was the peak. It had a flat base instead of a peak. But still, it did look majestic. The peak was completely covered with layers of thick clouds and mist entwined together.

Strange enough, how could clouds and mist just get together? Barely had the question formed in my head, the voice came back again. It sounded exactly as Jack's – the frequency, the pitch and everything.

'This is Table Mountain, a main teleportation spot to all places,'

''That still doesn't explain the clouds....' I told the voice.

'The clouds and mist that you see is called The Twist. It was created a long time ago by a vampire named Maslow. This is a necessary precaution for this place is a sacred place of the Gods. There are a lot of strange power that dwells within this place that ought not be disturbed. The Twist is not just anything. It can hurt anything, even vampires...'

'How?'

'The vampire Maslow, he gave his immortality to protect the Sacred Lands of Gods. Therefore, the End Gods have repaid his selfless act and allowed him to dissipate into The Twist itself. And there he will remain forever until the First Holocaust,'

'What am I supposed to do exactly?'

'You are destined to do Great things... The power of The Twist will bend to you. For only a vampire who possesses four gifts including traces is able to take control over it,'

'What do you mean by great things?'

'I will tell you soon enough. But listen to me first, Christopher Lois. You will face things way behind the line of logic,'

'OK...'

Suddenly there was a rush of images in my head. Information began compiling in my head. From ancient world history until the modern world history. 1.2538959 seconds later, it was over.

I had all the knowledge in the world. All except the mysterious End Gods. Who were they? But I did know one thing though... I knew that Deliphio was one of them.

I scanned through everything in my mind, but I was disappointed to find that there were 0 results about the End Gods. I knew now where to go. So, how was I supposed to exit from the Golden Diamond?

'If you don't mind, there is just one more thing the Diamond would like to offer to you. But in order for that to happen, It needs you to open your mind and allow the environment to settle within you,'

I did exactly that and emptied my mind. It was quite easy. Let me give you a rough idea of what it was like: 'Hey brain! Empty and open your mind like The Voice tells you to' .

My mind just obeyed as it wandered off slowly into the surroundings. I could hear a cricket leaping into the air and landing on a patch of grass. The wind whistled, startling it and it leapt again.

There was a loud croak and a frog hopped out of the grass. The cricket was nowhere to be seen... I sensed the water flowing from the east and headed towards the west coast. I could feel the sun setting below the horizon?

Setting sun? My eyes popped open as I found myself in another forest. How did I know that? Well, honestly the whole place was covered in snow. I could see a house in the middle of the forest.

'This is your First Challenge. Break the Force Field that surrounds the house,'

I stepped closer to the house but as soon as I was close, a plastic Wall appeared. This prevented me from entering. I looked up at the doorstep and noticed a crucifix pinned to the front door. Damn! Don't tell me that those ancient stuffs still work against vampires.

'Don't worry... The Crucifix only works partially for vampires of the Modern Age. It usually kills a vampire of the Ancient Age by first sight. Now break it, and a Gift awaits you within...'

The word ' Gift ' got me reeling as my mind quickly found the solution. I stretched my hand forward and released my Field - Shield, a combination of my shield and force field. It touched the surface of the Field and clung to it. In the next second, the Crucifix’s Shield shattered.

'Congratulations! Your next challenge is to keep it clean and neat. Don't attract attention...'

All compliments to my vampire mind. The one thing that I adore about being a vampire is the fact that my mind never runs dry of ideas or suggestions... But, WAIT... What did the Voice mean by keeping ' it ' neat and clean?

I caught a whiff of a delirious smell. It was the scent that was enough to drive me mad. The scent of only one thing - a HUMAN... I felt the snow starting to thicken so I pushed the door and entered. I could smell the heat inside but I couldn't feel it. A kettle boiled on the stove.

A perfect plan formed in my mind. An idea so simple that I could weaken my victim in a way that he becomes useless against me. I allowed part of my Force Field to encircle the kettle, making it twice as hot.

I flashed through the mind of the careless man in his room. Who would be stupid enough to leave their kettle on and fall asleep? At least shut it and heat it later on. Perfect, I thought as I focused on one small memory.

It
