thrilling saga of Bloodlines of Betrayal: Celestia's Ascension:

The Aftermath of the Dumbest Heist in History

Celestia, Draven, Dante, and Lyra crashed into their hideout, panting and laughing like maniacs. They had done it. They had stolen the Eternal Bloodstone… and somehow lived to tell the tale.

Dante flopped onto the couch. "Okay, so on a scale of 1 to we-should-be-dead, how bad was that?"

Draven groaned, rubbing his temples. "We should be dead. My mother is going to kill me."

Celestia grinned, tossing the Bloodstone in the air like a stress ball. "But we're not dead! That's what matters."

Lyra pointed at the stone. "Uh… should you really be juggling the ultimate vampire relic?"

Celestia shrugged. "What's the worst that could happen?"

THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN:

The moment she said that, the Bloodstone pulsed, glowing bright red.

Draven's eyes widened. "Uh… what did you do?"

Dante sat up. "Oh no. Oh no no no no. That's not normal."

The room shook. The Bloodstone cracked.

A deep, ancient voice rumbled through the air.

"WHO DARES DISTURB MY SLUMBER?"

Celestia blinked. "Oh. Shit."

Lyra facepalmed. "We broke the relic."

Dante threw his hands up. "WHY DO WE BREAK EVERYTHING WE TOUCH?!"

THE ENTITY FROM THE BLOODSTONE:

A shadowy figure emerged, towering over them, glowing with dark energy. He had glowing crimson eyes, sharp fangs, and an aura so powerful it made their bones vibrate.

The figure stretched, cracking his neck. "I have been trapped for centuries…"

Celestia, being Celestia, tilted her head. "Uh-huh. And you are?"

The figure blinked. "You do not know me?"

Dante whispered, "Please, for the love of everything unholy, do not piss off the ancient vampire ghost."

Celestia, ignoring him, crossed her arms. "Listen, buddy, we just stole this thing for fun. You got a name or what?"

The entity frowned. "I am Lord Vladimar, the First Vampire King."

Draven choked. "VLADIMAR?! The most feared vampire in history?! The one who nearly wiped out humanity?!"

Celestia's eyes sparkled. "So you're famous?"

Lyra facepalmed again. "She's impossible."

VLADIMAR'S REACTION TO MODERN TIMES:

Vladimar looked around at their hideout. "This… is not my castle."

Dante snorted. "Wow, you're quick."

Vladimar glared. "I will reclaim my throne! I shall summon my army and."

Celestia held up a hand. "Yeah, yeah, buddy. That's cool and all, but, uh… your kingdom doesn't exist anymore."

Vladimar blinked. "What."

Draven sighed. "Yeah. Vampires live in skyscrapers now. We have Wi-Fi, coffee shops, and vampire influencers on TikTok."

Vladimar looked horrified. "This is BLASPHEMY."

Dante grinned. "Oh, you're gonna love Instagram."

Vladimar Tries to Adapt:

Vladimar sat stiffly on the couch as Celestia handed him a smartphone. "Here. Welcome to the 21st century."

Vladimar scowled. "I refuse to use mortal devices."

Dante smirked. "Yeah? Just wait until you see cat videos."

Three minutes later…

Vladimar was entranced. "This… this feline is fighting an invisible enemy…! What sorcery is this?"

Celestia grinned. "It's called 'a cat freaking out over a cucumber.'"

Vladimar whispered, "Show me more."

THE NEW PROBLEM:

As hilarious as it was watching an ancient vampire king discover the internet, they still had a major issue.

Draven groaned. "So… what do we do with him?"

Celestia smirked. "We keep him."

Lyra choked. "WHAT?!"

Celestia shrugged. "He's cool. And powerful. And entertaining."

Dante grinned. "We can make him a social media star."

Vladimar narrowed his eyes. "You dare use me for entertainment?"

Celestia patted his shoulder. "Relax, dude. We'll make you famous."

Vladimar huffed. "Very well. If I am to rule again… I shall start by conquering this 'internet.'"

Dante smirked. "Oh, this is gonna be legendary."

Vladimar the ancient vampire king becomes a modern-day viral sensation..

Vladimar: The Viral Vampire King

The next morning, the hideout was a chaotic mess. Empty coffee cups, half-eaten pastries, and various tech gadgets littered the place. In the center of it all, Vladimar, the ancient vampire king, was sitting like a king on his throne… which was just a couch, but he made it look regal. He had a smartphone in one hand and a selfie stick in the other.

Celestia leaned against the wall, her arms crossed. "I'm starting to think we might've created a monster."

Lyra sighed. "He's been scrolling through Instagram for eight hours straight. He barely blinked."

Draven peeked over her shoulder. "What's he looking at now?"

Celestia shrugged. "Apparently, he's decided to become a vampire fashion icon."

Vladimar's voice echoed from across the room. "What do you think of this look? It is called 'gothic chic.'"

The vampire king was now wearing a black leather jacket, ripped skinny jeans, and sunglasses indoors. His hair, once a perfect cascade of silver, was now styled like some 2000s rock star.

Dante walked in, holding a tray of snacks. "Oh, great. We've got a modern vampire influencer on our hands. What's next? Is he going to start a TikTok trend?"

Vladimar raised an eyebrow. "I do not know this… TikTok."

"Not yet, but you're about to," Dante said, grinning. "I'm about to make you famous."

THE BIRTH OF VLADIMAR'S SOCIAL MEDIA CAREER

Celestia, Lyra, and Draven exchanged looks. "This can't be real," Lyra said, rubbing her eyes. "He literally just took a selfie with the Bloodstone like it's a damn purse."

Draven chuckled. "Honestly, I think he's pulling it off."

Vladimar posed dramatically, holding the Bloodstone high. "Behold, mortals, the stone of eternal power. This is my new brand. I am the king, and this is my crown."

Celestia deadpanned. "Seriously, we're starting a vampire fashion trend?"

Dante was already pulling up Instagram, ready to post. "Oh, we're beyond fashion. This is going to be an empire."

Vladimar blinked at his reflection in the camera. "Do I look… menacing enough?"

Celestia deadpanned. "You look like the cool uncle who listens to metal and works at a vape shop."

Vladimar narrowed his eyes. "Is this good?"

"It's perfect. Trust me," Dante said, posting the picture.

The caption read: "Embrace the night, embrace the king. Vladimar, your new vampire icon."

THE VIRAL ESCALATION

Within minutes, the likes, comments, and shares exploded. People were going nuts. Some called him the "Vampire God", others dubbed him the "ultimate gothic fashion king."

Vladimar stared at the screen, eyes widening. "This… is this how power is gained in this era? A simple image?"

Dante snickered. "Welcome to the future, buddy. Social media rules the world."

A notification popped up on the phone. "Vladimar has reached 10,000 followers!"

Vladimar almost choked on his coffee. "Ten thousand?"

Lyra sighed. "He's going to need a team of social media managers at this rate."

Celestia chuckled. "Who knew we'd be turning a centuries-old vampire king into a full-on influencer?"

Vladimar swiped through the comments. "I cannot understand these mortals. Someone is asking me to 'dox' my vampire diet.'"

Dante laughed. "You know, some people are asking for your skin care routine."

Draven snorted. "What do you tell them? Blood… moisturizer?"

Vladimar glared. "Do not mock me! I am the ruler of the night, the eternal one!"

Celestia leaned in. "No, you're the ruler of selfies and hashtags now."

THE VLADIMAR CHALLENGE

Later that night, things took a wild turn. A mysterious trend began circulating on social media: the #VladimarChallenge.

The challenge? People had to dress up like Vladimar, take a picture with the Bloodstone, and tag it with #VladimarVibes.

Within hours, people were posting pictures of themselves wearing over-the-top gothic outfits, with neon lights in the background, striking the same dramatic poses as Vladimar. Some people even photoshopped their faces to look like him.

"What in the vampire's tomb is happening?" Vladimar said, scrolling through the posts. "This is madness!"

Lyra grabbed a snack. "Welcome to internet culture."

Dante, always the schemer, grinned. "We could sell Vladimar merch. Hoodies, mugs, fanny packs…"

"Absolutely not." Vladimar said firmly. "I am a king, not a corporate tool."

Celestia shrugged. "You can be both."

Vladimar paused, then stared at his growing follower count. He grinned, showing off his sharp fangs. "Perhaps I shall allow it… but only if my royal merchandise reflects my true power and elegance."

Dante raised his hand. "You got it, Your Majesty."

A NEW KINGDOM RISES

By the end of the week, Vladimar's influence had spread like wildfire. Gothic fashion brands reached out for collaborations. TikTokers recreated his iconic poses, adding their own spins to the trend. Even the vampire community began to rally behind him, calling him the "modern ruler of the night."

Draven sighed, shaking his head. "This is insane."

Celestia grinned. "I think he might just take over the internet faster than we thought."

Vladimar, now in full-on brand mode, clapped his hands. "You will all be my advisors. We will conquer the mortal realm."

Lyra stared at him, deadpan. "You mean we're going to make memes about you?"

"Absolutely."

Dante raised an eyebrow. "Vladimar… ruler of the memes."

Vladimar gave him a sly smile. "I am the King of Everything."
