The Accidental Vampire

Atlas looked back and forth between Lilith and Yovana, trying to understand their conversation. Unlike the others here, his knowledge about such things was the least. Even Lancaster knew more about the supernatural part of the world than him.

All he had known was what Lilith told him. He didn't know about the Pendant of Suppression, but from what the two talked about, it appeared to have a pretty specific use.

Lilith took the pendant of Suppression from the hands of Yovana and glanced at the back of it.

There was a small mark on the back of the pendant with a 'V' letter.

"I was right. There was only one of this ever made." Lilith muttered. "I still wonder how it ended up with you. You said Atlan had it modified and gave it to your mother, but this shouldn't have been with him either."

"You seem like you know this pendant?" Atlan noticed the familiarity of Lilith with this bracelet. The way she talked about it, it was as if she had first-hand knowledge of who it was for. "Did you make it?"

"I didn't. My Mas-" Lilith stopped herself from speaking, realizing she wasn't alone with Atlas. There was also Yovana here. She couldn't just say that her master made it as it could make her suspicious about Atlas' identity.

She quickly composed herself before continuing. "I mean, you made it."

"You made it for Vor."

"Vor?" Yovana frowned. "You mean the banished Werewolf Prince?"

"Hmm?" Lilith's eyebrows raised, seeing Yovana knew Vor as well. "You know your history quite well."

"I've had seven hundred years to learn. Lord Atlan told me a few things. He is also the reason I know about you two so well."

"Whatever. You're right. This pendant was made for Lord Castiel for Vor."

"Was Vor your friend?" Yovana turned to Atlas.

Knowing Atlas didn't know about this, Lilith chimed in. "He met Vor a few times and fought him as well. Vor came to us to have something made that could suppress the bloodline of a Werewolf."

"Why would a Werewolf want that?" Lancaster didn't know much about his clan and the Werewolves, but he knew that the Werewolf Bloodline came with many advantages. He couldn't understand why someone would want to have their Bloodline suppressed.

"Are you doubting my words?" Lilith squinted her eyes. "If there's anyone here who has a story that sounds impossible, it's this lady, not me. As for why Vor wanted it, I do know that as well. Unfortunately, I can't tell you. He made us promise we would never tell anyone as this concerns the entire Werewolf Clan."

"That's why I'm surprised he dares to give this to someone else!"

"Why do you think he gave it then?" Atlas asked. "If this pendant were important for him, then the only way to get it from him would've been to kill him, and one of the people who should be able to do that is Atlan. It's not surprising that Atlan would have it."

"Killing Vor?" Lilith smiled. "Maybe when he was young and met us for the first time, it was possible, but in his later life... Anyway, I don't want to stray from the topic. I just don't believe Vor gave it to Atlan. It's possible that Atlan got his hands on it after Vor died of old age. Unlike Vor, Atlan was Immortal after all."

"Still, to get this pendant from the Werewolves and to have it modified... This must've taken quite some effort. If a person like Atlan really put in so much effort, that can imply he cared for you."

She put the pendant on the seat beside her. "Give me your hand."

Yovana reached out her hand, which was held by Lilith.

Holding Yovana's hands, Lilith closed her eyes.

At the same time, Atlas picked up the pendant instead. Something so magical... Something that could suppress the Bloodline of the Werewolves was created by Castiel. Just how strong was Castiel actually? He went against three Progenitors, fought Vor, and even created something that could weaken the Werewolves by suppressing their Bloodline.

Atlas glanced at his hands. 'I am inside someone so powerful. But for how long? This body doesn't belong to me. This life doesn't belong to me. Where is the person who it belongs to? Where is Castiel? His soul is said to be Immortal. So why isn't he back?'

'No matter how lucky I could be, I couldn't snatch Castiel's body since his soul contains most of his magic essence. As Lilith said before, this possession was because Castiel allowed me. He allowed me to enter this body, which also meant this isn't an infinite life.'

'But why? Why did he allow me to use his body? Why did he help someone like me? Why did someone so strong take mercy on a weak person like me? Why?'

"So you were right."

Lilith's voice brought Atlas out of his daze. "What?"

"She does have the Bloodline of a Vampire. The Bloodline is sleeping at the moment, but I did feel the traces of it. She wasn't lying. She is half-vampire, half-human. Even though I checked myself, I still find it hard to believe. A Vampire can't become a father. That isn't possible!"

"Maybe it was possible for the Progenitors?" Lancaster chimed in.

Lilith shook her head. "You think no one tried before?"

Lancaster smiled wryly as he glanced at Atlas. "You?"

"Huh?" Atlas didn't understand what he was implying.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lilith snapped. "I was talking about Ramiel! He tried to become a father, only to fail. For thousands of years, no Progenitor became a father, so it was theorized that they couldn't become fathers. Apparently, someone did."

"Each Progenitor has something unique and special about them than the others," Atlas repeated the words of Lilith she said a long time ago. "Maybe it's just for Atlan? Ramiel and the others failed, but maybe he was different? I don't think it's worth focusing on."

"The question isn't how he became a father but what happened after that. Why was he attacked by two sides? Yovana, you said you were responsible for your father's situation? How is that the case?"

"It's all because of that bracelet as well," Yovana grimly stated.

"I'm the only half Vampire in this world. My Bloodline gives me Immortality while my humanity makes it such that I'm not dependent on blood to survive."

"As for this pendant, it kept my Bloodline suppressed." She took the pendant from Atlas. "Other than immortality, I got no advantage of this Bloodline because of this pendant."

"Unfortunately, I wasn't happy with that. I wanted to be more... I wanted to do everything that Vampires could... I wanted to be stronger... I wanted many things, and this pendant was an obstruction in my path."
