00:00Children of Atlantis, Werewolves in the Andes Creepypasta 146, an arcane vampire and an apprentice
00:08werewolf. The echo of her heels resonated firmly through the halls of the mansion.
00:13The new Archcountess of the Purge, Asha Lachictor Bambertoken. Behind her, silent and hurried,
00:21She was followed by her new apprentice, Maria Gonzalez. Both were heading to the arcane magic hall.
00:28where every morning the archcount met with Tatiana for her lessons. Now that they were husband and wife,
00:34Asha did not wish her seraph to spend a single instant without her company or watchful eye, not even with
00:40those whom she herself used to call, with barely concealed affection, the toys of her seraph.
00:46He was pleased to remind them, without needing words, that his shadow was always present and that every
00:53every aspect of their lives was under their control. It was the first day of a new era, the guests at the
00:59The wedding guests had already left. They arrived just as Tatiana was entering the hall. In the center of the room,
01:06Imposing as an idol carved in marble, stood the figure of the Archcount of the Purge,
01:12Seraph Bambertoken Lachictor, with his usual imperturbable coldness.
01:16"My cadupul," said the vampire, barely raising his gaze. Asha smiled, flawless, and advanced with
01:24Calculated steps. My seraph, he whispered, placing himself at her side. I thought it appropriate to accompany you in
01:32Your daily chores, now that we're married. Also, I have some interesting news about your apprentice.
01:38She'll surely want to hear. Tatiana turned to face the vampire. She remained silent for a few seconds.
01:44accepting with resignation that with Asha you didn't argue, you either played her game, or you lost.
01:51My lady, congratulations on your wedding. Dear Tatiana, Asha replied with a broad smile.
01:58Sweet poison, thank you for your kind wishes. I'm glad we're friends now. Likewise,
02:05"My lady," Tatiana said, barely inclining her head as she struggled to contain her anger.
02:11My parents asked if the werewolf was domesticated. Thanks to you, I was able to answer yes.
02:18So I've been thinking about you and dear Drex for several hours. And you'll be happy to know that now
02:24I began preparations for that beautiful ritual that will finally bring peace to your wolf. She added with that sweetness
02:30which always smelled of threat. I assumed you wouldn't mind if, as always, I did it quickly.
02:37So, let's enjoy a survival reality show.
02:42Tatiana stood motionless for a moment, unsure what to say. Then she regained her composure and hurried on.
02:48Thank you. Thank you, my lady. You see, my dear? I always take care of my little flowers. Look at your
02:56Sister. She is now my apprentice, and she has already begun her transformation into the best version of herself.
03:02He added with a mischievous smile before turning toward the exit. Come on, dear Maria. We have plenty
03:10To be done. Those 350 hearts for dear Drex won't gather themselves. Tatiana didn't respond. She watched.
03:18as Asha walked away leading the way, followed by her sister like a zombie bound to a will
03:24I'd have to wait until Maria came out of the vampire's bathroom to be able to talk to her.
03:31I'm glad you learned how to deal with my cadupul before the wedding. The vampire remarked in a tone
03:37Neutral. But I want to ask you about your scent. Is that the aroma you now give off without the aid of potions?
03:44The CEO of Orichalco took a deep breath and exhaled resignedly. She knew that sooner or later
03:50She would have to have that conversation. Ever since she had stopped using lunar stillness, she had sworn not to.
03:56to deny his true nature again. Yes, sir. Is it a problem? Not at all. But it's difficult for me.
04:04to believe that neither you nor Drex could identify your own scents while using that potion
04:09"Poisoned," the vampire replied, his expression unchanged. "I think part of the problem was the use."
04:16prolonged effects of the potion and the silver poisoning. Now, he and I can distinguish each other's scents with
04:23"Clarity," Tatiana said, uncomfortable having to talk about something so intimate with him. "And do you consider..."
04:29Has your performance changed since you left the lunar stillness? No, sir. It's been difficult to...
04:36In principle, it's about controlling your strength so you don't damage desks or break doors, but it's not
04:41something I can't handle. Also, Drex and I do daily exercises to help me adapt better to this
04:48new nature. He explained calmly. As for my duties, I believe I can keep up without
04:55Problems. Perfect, Tatiana. In that case, adjust and get everything ready for the days when
05:03You will be absent during Drex's ritual, he ordered in his usual icy tone. Yes, sir. Today the
05:10Two units of werewolves from Colombia are arriving, and Lia is returning from her vacation. So I'll be able to schedule things.
05:17"I'll schedule the rest of the team's breaks to coincide with my absence," he replied firmly. "Very well. I want..."
05:24a detailed report with contingency plans for that week. The arcane magic hall was a
05:31A spacious, reinforced area, designed to withstand even a dragon's fire breath. Upon crossing the
05:37At the threshold, Tatiana positioned herself in the center, ready for her class. "Get ready," ordered the vampire, frozen.
05:45Today we'll move forward with skills you must master to survive as an arcane being. Understood?
05:51Mr. Bambert Token spun slowly on his heels, his hands conjuring a
05:57A floating sphere of pure energy. Elemental magic is, in essence, arcane magic imbued with emotion.
06:05Fire, ice, stone. You, on the other hand, will attack like death, faceless.
06:12Formless, without warning. He reached out and divided the sphere into three more fragments
06:19small ones, which began to spin on their own axis. I won't teach you how to mold energy to create
06:25elements, as the guardians of the moon village do. We will focus on absorbing and channeling
06:31the energy of the environment. Your energy will only serve to sharpen it, polish it, and unleash it with lethal fury.
06:39Tatiana nodded. With a swift movement of her hands, she channeled a sphere of energy as she had already done.
06:45I had done that before. No, Bambert Token said, without raising his voice. That was an emotional scream. First
06:53Channel, then mold. Tatiana grunted softly without realizing it. She closed her eyes. She breathed. She lifted the
07:02He used his right hand and traced a cut in the air. A translucent blade emerged and crossed the room.
07:08crashing hard against one of the walls. "Better," said the vampire, without smiling or congratulating her.
07:15Do it five more times. One after the other. Different paths. Try to make them bigger. Tatiana
07:23He obeyed. This time he allowed his body to move more instinctively, more wildly.
07:29His gestures became feral, like those of a beast on the attack. The energy responded from
07:36Immediately. From his fingers sprouted five blades that sliced through the air with lethal speed, leaving
07:42barely a notch in the reinforced wall. Each one was a wild version of energy, but
07:48Strangely correct. And certainly dangerous, the vampire analyzed, puzzled. Tatiana swallowed.
07:57He felt a burning sensation in his palms. His energy responded more effectively to emotions.
08:03Intense rather than calm. Lord, I'd say that at least half of my magic now responds better.
08:09"My emotions are more important than my stillness," she confessed, with a hint of weariness. "Are you suggesting that your energy..."
08:16Is being a werewolf easier to channel in the midst of chaos? he asked, genuinely intrigued.
08:22I don't know if "control" is the right word. It's hard to explain. It's similar to the fifth seal of the
08:29necklace. There's a point where I feel all my emotions, but at the same time, inside
08:35There's a quiet place for me where I can think clearly and make decisions. I couldn't explain it.
08:41Better, sir. The vampire watched her silently for a moment, then looked away.
08:47the five-layered necklace she wore around her neck. Finally, she returned to her position
08:52Original. It doesn't seem like you're using the necklace's energy, she commented in a neutral tone. If you
08:59What you say is true, it means your energy is now more werewolf than human. Is that it?
09:05"Is this something bad, sir?" Tatiana asked cautiously. "I don't think so, Tatiana." The Archcount
09:12The man from Colombia is an exceptional elemental mage, and he's also a werewolf. So that's proven.
09:19that werewolves can use arcane magic. Although I am ignorant of the details of its nature.
09:24energetic, you'll just need to observe your development for a few more weeks to understand it.
09:30"Understood, sir," Tatiana replied, relieved. "We'll continue with your lesson today as we were."
09:36expected and we will observe what happens when the lycanthropic energetic nature enters
09:40"Contact with spells," the vampire said sternly. "I will teach you one of my techniques."
09:46favorites, and also one of the most versatile and useful in my arsenal. But it definitely leaves you with
09:52It is forbidden to use it. Unless you believe your life is in imminent danger. His voice was
09:58Grave and firm, leaving no room for interpretation. Most of the Major Arcana could use it.
10:04If they set their minds to it. The limit isn't in their magic, but in their minds. However,
10:10Bringing it to the level I've developed it to is a completely personal achievement. That's why
10:16I called her the ethereal eye. Tatiana frowned, but before she could reply, the
10:21The vampire generated a new sphere of energy. He refined it, compressed it, and slowly molded it.
10:28until it took the shape of a floating eye. The ethereal artifact glided through the air until it was positioned
10:34right behind Tatiana. Without warning, the eye launched a sphere of energy directly toward
10:40Tatiana reacted purely on instinct and managed to dodge her with a jump.
10:46"Did you hear it?" the vampire asked, with a faint glimmer of genuine surprise in his eyes.
10:51voice. —I sensed it, sir, but knowing it didn't help me avoid it.
10:56"Tatiana replied, astonished by the instinctive reaction she had just had."
11:01"For all practical purposes, you are ceasing to be human," the vampire declared.
11:06—A human wouldn't have been able to avoid that impact. But I suppose you've already seen the usefulness of the eye.
11:12ethereal. —Yes, sir. It's like having another part of your body available to channel magic. It allows
11:20Attack from invisible angles, exploit phantom cover. Tatiana paused to think
11:25Wait a minute. It must also be used for spying, I suppose. But why so much secrecy? It would be
11:33Extremely useful in battle. Tatiana, you tend to analyze things from a logistical perspective.
11:39Because of your position, and yes, it's useful for seeing. But creating an eye-shaped energy sphere
11:45It's ridiculously simple and consumes almost no energy. The complexity begins when
11:51You must keep it away from you, maintain the connection, and at the same time, protect your body with a
11:57shield while attacking from an impossible angle. It's an overwhelming energy demand. He approached.
12:04One step, without raising your voice. That's why it's only used when you're ready to kill. Like this.
12:10You guarantee that its use is accurate and that the secret of its existence remains protected.
12:16I understand, sir. It's a technique with a unique and definitive impact, Tatiana said, understanding.
12:23Instantly. If you decide to use it, the vampire added, it's because you're willing to kill.
12:29to your target and all witnesses. Tatiana nodded gravely. The training continued.
