"You will."
"Do as I say, and I'll give you a dignified death,"
"Or I'll let you keep living."
Green looked at Alessandro.
"You'll make a smart choice."
Alessandro fell silent, and it wasn't until a good while later that he replied, "The space here is indeed abnormal."
"It doesn't seem to be caused by a spell, odd..." Alessandro's eyes emitted a burst of golden light, uttering a long string of ritual knowledge related to the structure of space.
"Do you understand?"
In the end, Alessandro added with a hint of pride.
"No." Green shook his head.
"But I've confirmed something."
As he spoke, he spread his fingers, his nails sharpening, with a pattern of gold illuminating each, edged with a fine line of blood.
Green's palm with its five nails comprised a complex Array.
This method of casting was eye-opening even for Alessandro.
"No wonder you vampires are both mighty hunters and fearsome spellcasters."
