🍒 "There you are, took you long enough. Wait, where did you got that jar from?"
Andrew thought on how to structure the lie; for as much as he disliked a human for beating him in a fight, he was focused on taking the vampire clan down.
🦊 "Wished for it, I managed to get my hands on an active wishflower"
🍒 "Well that seems like a waste of a wish. Come, you'll need training to be of any use to our clan"
As they began the traverse from the Wishing Path to the Vampire Woods, Andrew couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, as he'd never been that deep through the Vampire Woods, vampires are really aggressive in their territory after all, and he felt very weak considering he no longer had his former werewolf strength or height. He decided to go along and learn about the vampires more, maybe some weak points or even more experiments that they had conducted like the blood cherry inventions.

It was very different from what he was expecting. As they began entering the woods, a giant hole in the ground could be seen at the heart of the Vampire Woods, and as they got closer and closer, he could see that it let to an underground industrialized section, with a lot of metal parts everywhere. Something of that scale could only be built with magic, which meant one thing was for sure: the Black Crocodile was nearby.
Countless zombie workers were everywhere, all manipulated to not attack vampires, slaving away their death.
He also saw something that immediately gave him goosebumps: a dozen eye-invadeds were staying vigilant, entirely still, making sure the zombies were doing their job.
🦊 "H-Hey why are we heading towards that h-hole? Can't we go to like your clan's base or s-something?"
🍒 "This is my base. The Black Crocodile has sentinels keeping us in line and won't let us go away. I suggest you do everything I say or I'll offer you as his next eye-sentinel"
🦊 "Oh well want me to go pick up more bloodflowers? This doesn't seem like enough you know? Yeah we should head back"
🍒 "Silence. I give orders and you follow"

They began going down the stairs of the giant hole, as Andrew saw how the zombies were powering some mechanism that seemed to be related to magical energy. Being magic, it fret him, as magic is extremely unpredictable, which led to it being badly regarded. For as much as he tried to negotiate, he started realizing how the best course of action was to follow her lead.

The rest of her vampire clan was at the bottom, whispering about their plans.
Andrew felt out of place. Being born in a family of werewolfs, he was taught being one was their biggest joy in life, as it allowed them to do uncountable things that other over-naturals couldn't. His discomfort over his new nature was apparent on his face.
🦊 "Well if I'm gonna follow your orders, it could be nice to at least know your name, bitch"
🍒 "Ugh, such language is exactly what I expected from a nasty, uncivil werewolf. Teresa, yes, that's the name of your owner. Don't make me regret turning you into one of us"
As she entered the vampire group, she got on top of a nearby rock and spoke in a higher tone of voice
🍒 "Did any of you peasants find the werewolf or the human"
Everyone refuted. They were good at hiding.
🍒 "Great, another thing that goes wrong around here" - she mumbled to herself
Lucky for them, The Black Crocodile was not interested in giving them any orders yet, and as such were free to leave the hole, for now.
Teresa still needed a way to organize her clan for their secret plot against The Black Crocodile, as she knew the human was great at planning and organizing. No one was happy about Him, but they had no choice. It was either following His orders or being infected with an eye-invasor.

Meanwhile, back at the bloodflower tree.
🗣️ "We should check out for where the goblins went. It still seems like a big overreaction for a single eye-invaded"

🐺 "Well they surely couldn't have gone too far, and I suppose the place where you found the eye-invaded goblin must be nearby where the goblins went"
👻 "Hey wait what are yall's names"
The trio realized they had gone three days together and still had no idea who their clan was.
🗣️ "So I guess we decided to trust each other out of nowhere, huh. I'm Kael ... Or at least I think that's my name"
🐺 "I'm Celina, and you guys alredy know my brother Andrew. Sorry for him attacking you by the way"
👻 "Well I'm Connor, pleased to make you laugh"
🗣️ "It was like 2 times, don't sell yourself" - Kael said jokingly
👻 "Wha- Hey! I'm the joker here, you're mister tough lonely guy"
🐺 "Guys guys relax" - Celina said while laughing - "We should focus on the eye-invasor threat for now"
Kael started to remember. His thoughts were clean from what had just recently happened.
🗣️ (Wise Nature's where we last saw them, but we were at the Titanic Hollow before) - he thought to himself
🗣️ "We should first check out the goblin town, there may be some survivors or maybe even loot around"
As the plan was set, they left the cave on the bloodflower tree and started their journey towards the Music Plains. The intensity of noon could be felt on their skin.
