The Morave coup d'etat Part 2

Julius having caught Ryzen's blade stared at all of the vampires who he had grown up with or had watched grow. Draw all of their blades at him, his sister Mila and those of the Xeres family that had gathered in the main hall to watch the fight between Ryzen and Julius. Now they found themselves in a tough situation, due to daylight coming in a matter of minutes. They had no choice but to stand their ground and fight.

Glaring dead at Ryzen, Julius threw the blade wide from where it was imbedded in his arm. Blood continuing to litter the floor staining the wood a deep shade of red. Looking at his left arm that was now useless he gritted his teeth in both pain and anger, before he stood in front of his sister.

"Mila I have two knives in my hind sheathes. Take them and get ready to fight for your fucking life." He would growl as she went and grabbed both of the knives he spoke about before calling to all of the members of the Xeres clan that were behind him.

"I need all of you to bear arms if you wish to live another moment! I will do more than enough fighting for both of our families but the rate of success if it is just me and my dear sister is quite bleak. And will definitely end with both of us dying. I do plan on making sure that you guys have a home here in the Morave manor, but only if we can get out of this alive!"

"This is a unwelcomed look on you dear Julius. It is not like you to ask for help when you are pitted against such overwhelmingly low odds." Ryzen said his cruel smile still wide.

"It's more than just asking for help Ryzen.. it's calling those who are capable to do so..to protect their family" Julius spoke through gritted teeth the pain still flowing through his body.

Ryzen stared at him and then his gaze flowed over those of the Xeres clan that stood before him who all started to arm themselves summoning weapons into their hands, readying themselves to fight to the death. Seeing them ready themselves boiled his blood. When it would be smoother for them to just lay down and take a blade to the heart.

His gaze returning to the current host of the manor he took a stance readying himself once more to fight a fight. That he undoubtedly knew he was going to win. All he had to do was outlast Julius, and maybe his sister.

There in what appeared to be a stand still waiting for one side or the other to begin the next phase of the battle everyone stood in the hallway tense. What seemed to start this portion of the battle was two loud thuds hitting the ground from above them up on upper landing of the stairs.

Both sides lunged at each other as the sound of clashing blades rang out as Julius was once more locked into combat with Ryzen.

"Those who want to uphold what makes the Morave family great you will fight like your lives depend on it and Those of the Xeres if you truly want to belong in our fold you will assist in helping us defend our home!" The familiar voice of Julius' mother roared out in a loud powerful tone.

"We are working on that one mother!" Julius roared back loudly his voice full of rage. "No one let this family fall apart because of some spiteful dipshits!"

Pushing Ryzen back a bit Julius was barely able to shunt out of the way of a blade strike aimed to removed his head from his shoulders as he pirouetted and slashed down with a heavy horizontal slash on the vampire. Not waiting to hear if the body had hit the ground or not he lunged forward to the next as he bared his fangs and bit into the side of his neck.

The metallic taste of blood filling his mouth he began to drink from the vampire before pulling away ripping flesh from his neck leaving tbe vampire heavily bleeding out as Julius felt his own injuries slowly beginning to heal. Turning his gaze back to Ryzen who had locked blades with Mila. He began to make his way to them feeling his mobility and strength beginning to return.

Ryzen taking notice of this jumped back from Mila barely managing to avoid the hurried strikes she sent at him as he looked to one of the vampires closest to him.

"Abdul! Keep Julius busy! We are moving to phase two!" Ryzen called out as the vampires on his side of the fight started to move in front of Ryzen separating him from the main contenders.

Silently cursing under his breath he watched as smokey shadows slowly surrounded Ryzen as he was suddenly gone from where he was standing.

Looking back to the others Julius gritted his teeth. "Let's take these fuckers down! And end this where it where it began!" He yelled out as the members of the Xeres family that were there around him. Roaring out with him they charged at the traitors of the Morave clan.

The sound of blades filled the night air as they cleaved through one another. Spilling blood onto the wood floor, and splashed across the walls.

Standing there in the middle of piles of bodies the Xeres force all looked at a blood soaked Julius who breathed heavily covered in minor injuries.

Looking to the Xeres family Julius took a deep breath gathering his thoughts before going to speak. "We will sweep through the mansion and take out any others that decided to join a fools folly"

Draven limped up covered in injuries breathing heavily as he looked at Julius. "Thank you..for standing by our family.." he said in a tired tone his eyes showing his thanks.

"Thank me when this battle is over..for that is when even we, will be apart of your family"
