They walked back into the cobweb filled dark hall feeling content with their victory but disappointed that they had not found the scroll. But things were about to get a lot worse.

Standing in front of them were four strange humanoids. They could not make out their details but each wore thick red plated armour. One was without a helmet while the others had their faces obscured. As they drew closer the friends could make out the features of these strangers; the one without a helmet had long white hair and dark grey skin with blood red eyes. Ardag knew instantly who these beings were; they were vampires.

‘Greetings, druids,’ the one with long hair said in a well-spoken manner. ‘I am Count Varko from the Vandalore Clan.’

‘What is it you want, vampire?’ Garpaw said with a snarl, but Ardag placed his hand on Garpaw as if to calm him.

‘That is a rude greeting for a count,’ Count Varko said, scowling.

‘Just get on with it count, why do you come to us armed?’ Ardag asked.

‘I merely come for Johan, son of Haramithir,’ he replied, looking directly at Johan. ‘Give him to me and all of you will see this day through.’

Johan looked at the others and he trembled. He sighed and stepped forward but Bry stopped him. She looked at the count with a look of disgust. ‘Why do you come for him? Is it your master Count Darkool that sends you like a dog to do his bidding?’ she mocked.

A look of surprise came over Varko’s face at the mention of his master, but that quickly turned to anger at the woman’s last comment. ‘Hand him over, bitch, or I will cut your breasts from your chest and drink your blood.’

She grinned, ‘If you want my breasts come and get them you vampire fuck.’

‘That’s enough!’ Ardag cut in, ‘there will be no bloodshed here. Count, I bid you take your men and leave.’

Count Varko laughed at Ardag and mocked him. He looked at his companions and smiled, ‘well these are not men, son of the Eagle. These are the Blood Guard. You have quite a battle on your hands. Those creatures that attacked you were just a warm up,’ he said, referring to the zombies.

‘That was your doing?’ Garpaw asked, full of rage.

‘I was shown a trick or two about animating the dead, I heard of your quest to find some special scrolls so I thought I would set you up, I was lucky to reach Sworcadia before you on horseback. Now, this is your last chance – hand that bastard over or I will kill you all here and now.’

‘I am afraid negotiations are over count. Johan stays with us,’ Ardag concluded.

‘So be it,’ Count Varko responded with an evil grin.

He said something to his Blood Guard. Suddenly the count and his vampire soldiers leapt into the air at the companions with their weapons drawn. Ardag knew what kind of fight was on their hands; these were formidable fighters. With Garpaw fatigued this fight was already uneven.
