The memory he saw at death's door

Years prior to the present time...

Fabian pulled up the hood of his cloak whilst running through the dark, narrow alley. He glanced to his side, seeing multiple shadows skip through time and space at their speed. He clicked his tongue in irritation as water splashed when he stepped on the hollow concrete.

'I hope Charlie is alright,' he thought, thinking that the two of them went in opposite directions to split the vampires chasing after them. 

After what happened in the capital of the Great Heart Empire, Fabian traveled with Charlotte to the border between the Heart and Spade kingdom. His initial reasoning was because he knew Samael needed time to make up his mind about what to do in the empire. Knowing his master, Fabian already figured Samael would take the position he had denied for the sake of everyone.
