Vladh feels breathless from the night he had, the woman's walking is noticed and when entering the place, she approaches Vladh who remains asleep, she fixed her gaze on him and pulled out a clay glass full of water and she poured it on her face of Vladh. Soon he gave and started to shake, he realizes he is still in chains and his eyes are fixed on the ground.
- Will you hear me?
Vladh remained silent.
- Look ... why are you so stubborn?
When she said that Vladh looked at her:
- You behave as if you know everything, but do not know; I need you to listen to me! - She said holding Vladh's wet face.
- I'm not ready.
- If you want to predict the future, study your past.
Vladh was briefly silent; until he nods, the woman heads for the door, Vladh is still in prison and is forcing himself to leave.
- Are you free.
- Then why do I have the chains? he quipped.
The woman pointed to the chain locks and it turns out that they are easily loosened, Vladh took them off like a glove. The woman asked him to follow her, Vladh walked through corridors that are identical to a castle, the woman took him into a room full of weapons and armor. The woman pulled something with a rope; and a corpse appears from the ceiling.
- What is this?! asked Vladh.
- I use corpses to train.
- Train for what?
The woman threw Vladh's whip on the floor.
- Train to defend yourself, the world is cruel and every danger is before us.
The woman pulled out an ordinary long sword and aimed several blows at Vladh, he slightly rolled over the carpet and picked up his whip; soon Vladh used the whip to pick up the sword's scabbard.
- Looks like you know how to handle the whip.
- I don't know how, but I seem to know how to use this weapon my whole life ...
Vladh was distracted and soon the woman hit him with an elbow, Vladh stopped on the floor but the whip wrapped around the woman's left arm, this gave him an advantage and soon he pulled the woman to the ground. Both fight on the floor, both try to get up but each other does not allow it because of their blows.
Vladh grabbed the woman by the torso and threw her against the wall, pressing against her weight, she ran out of air and soon he stopped and walked away.
- I don't know how I can do well in fights. - he says proudly.
- That ... is just one of the reasons ... I told you about your past. she said breathlessly.
Vladh holding his whip and extending his hand to a woman raised his head in a proud expression.
- So tell me.
The woman took him to a room with exotic furniture, there she sits and rests for a while to recover, Vladh approaches a tray full of drinks, he takes a white wine made in Breland. He filled two glasses and hands one to the woman.
- Look, won't you need bandages? asks Vladh.
- No. I am a vampire, this is very clear by my pale skin and extraordinary strength.
- Minutes ... so, is it like me? Right.
- In fact, you are a "Dampiro"; half-human and half-vampire.
- Is that part of my origin? If so, I take that to be an obvious "truth".
- Ah ... - she sighed.
- Let's go. I have to know.
- First I want you to know my name: Lalita Othronus, and the truth you will hear will have to be absorbed clearly.
- All; Lalita.
Lalita put the cup aside and moved closer to Vladh, they both have different expressions, Lalita has a bitter and tense expression; Vladh is already jovial before her.
- You came ... from the mainland of Sarlona, your father was a Falone but your mother was ...
- A vampire ... expected this.
"No," she denied. - Your mother was an elf. Your father had a lover, and because of her you were born that way.
- Okay, but this does not clarify everything! he exalted. - You must tell me more than you should.
- I will say with one condition: doing services for me.
Vladh quieted and then sat down, put his whip on a wooden table and crossed his legs.
-Say it.
Great. Do this, in a week you will go south and then west of Xen'drik. There you will find a new camp for Drows - black elves - they have a very precious object, which I have been watching lately.
- But ... what if ... they decide to attack?
- I will teach you everything about combat, I have been well trained for centuries.
Vladh agreed and was soon accompanied to a room, he fell asleep.
Then an icy touch is felt by Vladh's feet, he gets up from the bed and there is nothing, until the man who whispered in the castle appears looking the same old.
- You are tracking what was predestined. he said with his hands close to his neck. - I don't think it's new, it was obvious that you would know the truth.
- Who are you? Out of nowhere he goes where I go. - Vladh said wielding the whip. - Let's go!
- Ah… if… calm down! - he said, choking himself. - I will not answer ... you will answer ...!
Vladh woke up every when he was tired and tense, he realized that it was a dream there, until he saw that he was wielding his whip.
Lalita entered the room with matted hair, she just enters and then leaves the room without saying a word. Vladh got ready and soon went to the dining room, there was breakfast for about ten people, Lalita is sitting and next to her is a maid - who has fine clothes and auburn hair - she walks away and enters the kitchen.
- The size of this meal is worthy of a giant. - he says admired.
- The giants are to the south, and even if they wanted to, they would not risk their lives for a mere meal.
- Don't you understand what irony is? - he refuted. - I want you to start training now.
Lalita looked tired - like "who do you think I am" - she got up and continued to a room, she quieted herself on a wall and knocking, a door opened, she entered next to Vladh. The place is a room, there was only a carpet on the floor that spread through the room. Vladh stood and Lalita took off parts of his clothes just keeping the lighter ones.
- Want to train? Do you want to know about this defender and find out how to cover the truth of your past? So, be ready for an intense workout.
