00:00Children of Atlantis. Werewolves in the Andes Creepypasta 30. The vampire Seraph Bambertoken and
00:07The Holy See. Drex parked his rusty truck a few meters from the entrance, at the edge of the forest
00:13that guarded the chambers of the Archcount of Colombia, a vampiric stronghold hidden in the area
00:18North of Bogotá. The air smelled of damp earth and old gunpowder. The silence was barely broken.
00:25by the electric hum of the perimeter lights scanning for threats. Facing the
00:31Steel door; four orichalcum agents awaited him like armed statues. The archcount
00:38"He's waiting for you. Come in. Sit down. And don't touch anything," one of them growled, with a contempt he didn't bother to hide.
00:46His index finger, encased in a black glove, pointed towards the entrance as if firing a gun.
00:52invisible weapon. Drex didn't answer. He walked with a fixed gaze, his eyes gleaming beneath the wing of his
00:59Dark overcoat. The entryway was empty. Black marble, a single pendant lamp, four chairs
01:07arranged like forgotten pieces. Nothing more. Everything screamed controlled austerity, as if the place
01:14He would have been cleansed of emotions. He sat down without saying a word. The silence stretched on until he
01:21A soft, elegant, venomous voice broke. Drex, Bambertoken said, emerging from the shadows like a
01:29ghost dressed in impeccable linen. I'm glad to see that the goblin's silver hasn't managed to rip you off yet.
01:35Soul, although she's tried hard. Do you want to wait for Fabián before starting? Or would you prefer
01:41Start the theater? You know I stopped believing a long time ago that the pieces on this board move by
01:47"Of our own free will?" Drex replied with a twisted grimace. "We are actors in your play, Archcount."
01:54But listen, an acquaintance in Peru warned me about strange movements. People asking about
02:01The Quillarragua. And I'm sure they're the same ones who escaped from Kakupé. Do you trust that one?
02:07"A friend of yours?" Bambertoken asked, serene as a sealed coffin. "Yes, and much more so than in you,"
02:15If that's what you're thinking. Bambertoken smiled calmly. I also made my inquiries. In other
02:22spheres. And everything points to the same thing. The Quillarragua is in Peru. But what really intrigues me is not
02:29That's it, Drex. What fascinates me is knowing that you're part of the Golden Moon community. Of course. Now
02:38I understand. Drex Holcrux, the guardian of the golden moon. I used to think it was a coincidence.
02:45Linguistics, a translation lost in the mists of history. That you took the name of some victim
02:51from the past. But I won't make that mistake again. How the hell do you know what my name means in
02:57"Golden language?" Drex whispered, visibly disturbed. "Who taught you that extinct tongue?" The answer will tell you.
03:05"It could disrupt sleep for centuries," Bambertoken replied with a dry smile. "But let's say..."
03:12We both seek to protect the same thing. That makes us allies. Perfect allies. Drex clenched his fists. His
03:20Her breathing became heavy. She said nothing. The door suddenly creaked. Fabián entered. His mere presence
03:29He sliced through the atmosphere like a scalpel. His gaze swept across the room with discipline, but something inside him already knew.
03:35who was late to his own conversation. Bambertoken greeted him with that twinkle in his eye
03:41that he wasn't human. Ah, Fabian. Just in time. He said in a welcoming tone. Full of sarcasm. Drex had
03:50Doubts about my loyalty. Interestingly, I think they're the same questions you were going to ask me.
03:56Oh, I'm wrong. Fabian frowned, but didn't reply. Bambertoken had already snatched the
04:03He controlled himself before even opening his mouth. The vampire took a step forward. His figure seemed
04:10To lengthen with the shadow, dominating the space like a god ready to dictate his truth. My name is
04:16Seraph Bambertoken II. Archcount of Colombia. Son of Lunguox and Sakfik Bambertoken, both members
04:24of the Vampire Elders Council. My loyalty is to my blood. And to the power structure that sustains it.
04:31This world. The pact between races and the truth of the elders will be the truth of this world.
04:36Until the end of time. And whoever thinks they can break that truth hasn't understood.
04:42what our existence means. His words hung like daggers in the air. Fabián remained
04:49He gasped. The ground beneath his feet trembled. Bambertoken glared at him.
04:56Then he lowered his voice. "And do you know how I anticipate your every move, Fabián?" The smile was pure poison.
05:04I have someone within the circle of holy masters. One whom you venerate. His name is Julian.
05:11Does it sound familiar? The explosion was internal, but brutal. Fabián took a step back. The air disappeared from the room.
05:21His mentor. His guide. The man who taught him to distrust Bambertoken. He was his spy.
05:28Julian. He whispered. His throat was dry. He was the one who pushed for the no-confidence motion against you.
05:36Exactly. Bambertoken interrupted him. Fabián gritted his teeth. And his soul. But he said nothing. And now,
05:44Fabian, continued the vampire, with a kindness that smelled of death. Tell me if this is enough for your
05:51report. Or if you need more. The silence was absolute. Fine, Bambertoken concluded,
05:58Turning around. This meeting is over. The Kiyarrawa is in the hands of the separatists.
06:05They've already started asking about the entrance to Paititi. Drex, get ready. We're leaving for the village of the moon.
06:13as soon as you're fit to travel. And without another word, she left. Leaving behind a whirlwind of
06:19Uncertainty. Fabián stood there, trembling slightly. Julián. He repeated softly. Always me
06:27He told me not to trust him. And he was his pawn. Welcome to the royal table. Drex said coldly.
06:34You can't beat Bambertoken at his own game. It's easier to attack him head-on than to corner him.
06:40With bureaucracy. Fabián stared into space. Personally, I think I need to rest.
06:47The goblin's silver still gnaws at me from the inside. But I swear something to you, Fabián. While you play
06:53To diplomacy with that vampire, I intend to remind the separatists that the pact
06:58It also includes humans. Fabian nodded without saying a word and left like a man who had just finished
07:04of losing his faith. Drex's cell phone vibrated in his pocket. It was Tatiana. He answered while
07:11She was walking toward her truck. Tatiana? Drex. Maria is excited about tonight's dinner and only
07:18I'm calling to offer you a truce tonight. That's the second most shocking thing I've heard today.
07:24It seems that a little bit of elf silver manages to bring out the best repertoire in everyone around me,
07:29Drex joked, not hiding the strain in his voice. "Yes, I see you get in a good mood when you're..."
07:36Near death. Well, try not to make us go to another one of your funerals. One was enough.
07:44"For Maria," Tatiana replied with unusual calm. "Do you want me to bring something as an offering?"
07:50"Peace?" Drex asked as he started the engine. Tatiana was silent for barely a second.
07:56Just enough for Drex to notice. No, just try not to look like crap. He cares about you.
08:04Thank you very much, Maria. Understood. And congratulations on your appointment as General Manager of Orichalco Colombia.
08:10"Drex said, smiling. I'm not used to how it sounds, but thank you," she replied.
08:17He seemed to be thinking about something, but didn't say anything. Well, I'll see you as soon as you get here. Any idea what?
08:25What exactly does your sister want to drink? Drex persisted, trying to extend the conversation. What do you want to drink?
08:31Did you say you wanted? Something sweet and strong. Then get the highest alcohol content red wine you can find.
08:38"You find," Tatiana laughed, holding back her own laughter. "You know, I'm glad to hear you're okay despite the..."
08:45poisoning. Tatiana, can I ask you a question? Tell me, if I bring a white wine for
08:52So, would you tell me half of the things you're leaving out? Half? She laughed, surprised. You ask
08:59A lot for a bottle, but if it's white and really dry, maybe I'll get lucky. I'll take the chance.
09:06See you soon, Tatiana. We'll be here.
