It happens that the president, Vlad and the bodyguards went for a camping rally, where the candidates were asked to address the Mass,his opponent senator Fred stood up to deliver his,As he spoke, the crowd listened attentively. But Vlad stood at the back of the room, a scowl on his face. When senator Fred finished his speech, he stepped down from the podium and made his way to the back of the room. As he passed Vlad, he paused, and looked him directly in the eye. "I know what you're trying to do," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "And I won't let you succeed." Vlad's eyes narrowed, and he gave senator Fred a cold smile.
"You may think you can stop me," Vlad said, his voice a whisper. "But you're wrong. I'm more powerful than you can imagine." Senator Fred's face went pale, and he took a step back. "You won't get away with this," he said, his voice shaking. "I'll make sure of it." But Vlad just laughed. "We'll see about that," he said. And then, he turned and walked away, disappearing into the crowd.
The crowd was still buzzing with the president's words when Vlad appeared on the stage. He was dressed all in black, and his pale skin was even more striking than usual. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid I must disagree with the opponent senator Fred,but then again the people have the right to chose their own candidates,so let the people's choice take the mantle of leadership.

"It was just a full moon night,I was inside the wood as usual trying to hide from kids who bullies me for being an outcast while I felt someone passed by with the speed of a lighting, curious as a child I was ,I followed the path which led deep into the wood,then I came face to face with a creature like a beast but looks more human,with a claws of a werewolf and the fangs of a vampire...
"What kind of a creature was that"? everyone asked at the same time..
"I had no idea,but it growled at me and I immediately passed out only to woke up the next day in a clearing in the wood..
"And then what happened "? Ares spoke for the first time since he began his story,I saw this strange lady tho I can't recover her face,she saved me from the beast,but the beast was nowhere in sight which made me wonder if she was the beast..
"Like she read my mind,fear not Jacob,she said, you must journey to the province of Orleans and must locate a man ,Dr Stevens by name,he will walk with you on the path that Leads to your Destiny...
"How do I locate this Dr Stevens was the question I asked after I regained myself,your Destiny shall locate him,so saying she walked away,so that was how I found myself in your midst and I'm glad I followed the path my destiny led Me to, for I have never be loved this much all my love,he wiped his tears away..
"Is ok bro,we gat you, Hermes said and they group hugged while Dr Stevens watched from the rooftops.
"He was worried as he hadn't heard from Barbara for such a long time...
I hope she's ok.
"Where is Samantha"?

"Yes supreme one,they bowed and left while Samantha stayed back...He whispered something into her ears and she smiled, consider it done supreme one...
"I must find a way to save senator Fred",but I can't approach him directly for he will never believe without evidence,"what will I do"?
"Dex kept pacing around the room till an idea came into his mind,he remembered the moon chasers and the day the battle between them and the vampires,how they fought bravery to protect the guests.."I'm sure they are the right people to inform about the attempt on the senator's life,"but how do I reach them"?
Let me summon the guardian of the supernatural creatures, maybe she can help,"just maybe",he brought out the golden scale from the dragon clan and as instructed by the guardian of the path between the two worlds,he rubbed it and the great dragon appeared..
"Dex immediately bowed, greetings great guardian of the supernatural creatures, greetings chosen one, "you summoned me", yes great guardian, something really troubles my heart and as the chosen one,I must protect the human from the battle between the greatest evil and I...
"Speak child"," what do you want?,I wish for a way to reach out to the moon chasers" that will be done chosen one, leave it to me and one more thing,time is not on your side, you must find those involved in the prophecy and the guardian vanished..
"Who is there"?.
