Chapter :-11 The European Continent

ᒥ...Splash....ᒧ

ᒥ...Splash....ᒧ

The sound of water beating against the ship could be heard by Henrik. Currently, he was sitting inside a cabin on a ship. A black cloak wrapped over him, his face and covered by the hood while he seemed to be gazing at the vast ocean.

He had bid farewell to Caroline and Albus, hoping that maybe someday he would once again encounter the Pine family. Initially, they wanted to assign some guards to him as helpers and had also prepared a small ship for him and his family.

It was a token of appreciation from them but Henrik refused it. He didn't want people to know that he had left the Pine family and will be leaving. No matter what, he couldn't risk someone finding his location. He didn't have time to deal with nuisance as he already had his hands filled with taking care of his family.

Henrik left the place with his family without attracting much attention, after compelling a ship owner and his crew. He immediately ordered them to load the coffins inside the ship and prepare to leave for the European continent.

They were sailing through the Northern ocean and would reach the coast after a few days until then he meditated to access the Force.

This mysterious energy had the capability to lead him towards the things he needed. All these years he had always been able to find the ingredients after following the Force.

And over the passage of time, Henrik grew proficient in using the Force.

He didn't need a compass to find the direction as he could feel a deep attraction coming from the European continent. Something was calling him and he had to find out what it was.

Though Henrik would have never imagined the reason for this attraction he felt.

[After 3 days]

It had been three days since Henrik left Marlborough. As an Original vampire, food and water weren't a requirement for daily life. Just a little blood from a sailer was enough to sustain Henrik.....for now.

ᒥ...He was hungry....ᒧ

ᒥ...He wanted to feed....ᒧ

ᒥ...He left like ripping their heads....ᒧ

ᒥ...But he endured....ᒧ

Knowing that this was an opportunity for him to better his control over this unending hunger, he waited.....from the time when he would reach the European continent.

His hunger and thirst weren't of much importance when compared to the thought of reuniting with his family.....so he meditated, hoping that the Force would help him calm down.

The coffins laid near him, not a speck of dust was over them, surely Henrik had been cleaning the coffins, inside which rested his siblings.

.....

Finally, after spending a week on the boat, he saw land. The dock was within his sight, he stood up and walked towards the coffins.

"Now that I have arrived here, I need to make sure that the guards will not find you all."

At the port, guards wearing official clothes were stationed to watch over the trade and shipments. Slave trade was official in this era and so was the smuggling of precious stones and drugs. The port management had a complete monopoly over the trade counters in this area.

They gained 20% interest from every trade and also were paid in materials, making the management rich as fuck...

Henrik had got the information from Caroline that every ship in the dock would be thoroughly searched for any illegal items or unregistered slaves.

Thus Henrik decided to cast an Illusory cloaking spell on the coffins to hide them from the eyes of the management. He didn't want anyone to know about his family, avoiding trouble and finding the last ingredient were his priority.

[Illusory Cloaking Spell]

The spell allows a witch to cloak themselves and their targets be it a person, object or certain locations completely. However, It's magic can be disrupted by magical objects. The distance in which a witch is able to cloak their target is directly proportionate to their level of skill.

"Invisique radium calaraa..."

The chants resounded throughout the [Study] of the ship as marking appeared near the location of the coffins.

Knowing that his magic would not affect the coffins, he chose to hide the whole area instead of hiding the coffins.

"Sir Henrik we have reached the [Divine Halo port], we will be entering the dock. Do you have any other orders for us?"

Three shipmen entered the room, they wore white-sailer clothes and had messy hair. The travel till here was quite simple, no Hurricane or tsunamis cane in their way. Henrik had used his magic to suppress the water around the ship.

Henrik turned around and spoke indifferently as he removed his cloak and placed it beside him, on the table.

He looked them deep in the eye and compelled them to follow his orders and forget that someone named Henrik even existed.

"After I have left the dock with my 'belongings', you all are to disappear from this place forever and you will forget everything about me."

The sailers dumbly nodded before walking out of the [Study] and heading back to the deck.

Henrik looked at the open doors of the [Study], the doors suddenly closed themselves. He pulled a chair and sat down as he closed his eyes.

ᒥ...I am near the source of this attraction but why does it feel like it is constantly moving, I hope I get what I want as soon as possible....ᒧ

A few minutes had passed away, Henrik felt the ship slow down before eventually coming to a stop. Henrik opened his eyes and walked towards the exit not before grabbing his cloak.

The clear sky and beautiful ocean surrounded the ship, the fresh air helping to calm himself.

ᒥ...Clank....ᒧ

ᒥ...Clank....ᒧ

ᒥ...Clank....ᒧ

Sounds of metal boots entered Henrik's ears...with his heightened senses as an Original plus the buff provided by the Force allowed him to sense everything happening near the place.

The guards had arrived wearing full body armor though it was in the category of light armors as to not hinder their fluid movement, he grabbed a bunch of paper from his cloak and walked towards the port side of the ship.

A wide wooden plank was used to act as a bridge between the ship and the dock. The armored guards entered the ship and started their search while the captain leading the guards walked towards Henrik.

"Sir may I see the official documents of this ship and the reason for a visit..."

"Here you go...."

The captain wore an identical armor to that of a soldier but his headgear was removed while he chatted with Henrik.
