-Have you seen your future Wulfstan? Has our clairvoyant satisified your curiosity? Sherrashad asked as she waited for Wulfstan outside the wagon. I will give you an advice to follow, madam Mira Aegyptos may be old but she is very wise. I muself seek her help sometimes. And she is never wrong. In the years she's been with us I have come to thrust her more than any other mortal. But come, before you leave us I'd like you to see our performance. She said as she lead Wulfstan towards the center of the camp, where all the gypsys gathered.
All was silent and most of the fires and torhes was put out. They gathered around in a circle, leaving a large round space for the performers in the middle. Then a large sound, like that of a large horn was heard.It was beginning. The group of dancers entered the middle lead by their matriarch and her two daughters. The speed, the elegance, the intensity of the dance. It was breath-taking. All of the dancers burned with passion. Drums, flutes, trompets and guitars sounded all over the camp. Old and young women singing in their own laguage. One tune was soon followed by another. The rythms was easy to follow. Everyone took part in the show. All, except the four males that had followed their matriarch almost evrywhere and who were now on sentry.
It was they who first spotted the jew on the horse who was approaching their camp. They sneered as the smell of another kindred reached them. With teeths grited and their nails sharp they waited for the stranger to get within their reach. The show continuing behind them. A wolf's howl was heard from the distance. They grew more and more restless as they walked round and round at the entrance. Their blood boiled with excitement, their mind filled with figthing spirit and their heart cried with bloodlust. Then they all howled together bringing and end to the show and the attention of their family towards the stranger. Then all of a sudden two of them leaped forward and landed in front of the horse who terrified throwed off it's rider.
-That's enough! Sarganiz, Darek, come here and leave that man alone! Sherrashad commanded quite enraged by her companions behavior. You must forgive my sons. She said to the starnger. They tend to get a little over-exicited sometimes. Now then, I am Sherrashad "Kanid" Esmeralda matriarch of this clan of gypsys and mother to the kindred who protects them. You are weclome to our camp and to share our meal and song, but know this. I will not tolerate any hsotilities towards or attempts to feed on my preciuos human children. Any attempts will be punished by death. The six kindred who flanked her smile viciously while revealing their fangs and sharpened claws. Another tune sounded in the background, as the calm returned to the gypsys.

"Do you trully wish for peace?"- This question echoed in Wulfstan's head. the old crone clearly knew what was happening in his head. he was sitting near the campfire, concealing his face in the shadows, and watching the performance. he didn't minded the jewish traveler, as he was locked in deep thought, trying to understand the words of the crone. Travel to Wallachia. The land was craving with Sabbat, but as a Caitiff, Wulfstan had a chance to survive in there. "Deliver the Judgement". These words stuck deep inside Wulfstan's heart. It seems that destiny again started toying with Wulfstan. he looked at his blade and thought:
"Again, this Lotus will be waterred by blood. Vampire or human- it doesn't matter. After this is over I will head back to Nippon. I wonder..."- He looked at the moon, and smiled to himself.

Joseph rode in the direction of the singing. Gypsies... they were the only ones who came close to being "liked" by Joseph. They were akin to him in many ways - homeless travelers, hated and prosecuted by others, only caring for themselves. What's more they never denied him a meal or shelter, for the right price of course. Joseph even felt safe with them... as long as he was on guard for thieves and swindlers. But the most important thing was that they always had valuable information and Joseph knew just how useful that is.
As he neared the camp Joseph noticed something he did not expect - it was guarded by at least four kindred. These weren't any regular gypsies, they were a traveling clan of Ravnos. Things just got better and better, the levels of information he could get from kindred gypsies were much higher. With luck they could even point him to several kindred who would agree to fight Dracula. Joseph's joyous thoughts were stopped by the Ravnos' reaction to him, they howled and two of them jumped right in front of him scaring his horse. Caught by surprise Joseph fell on the ground while his horse used that moment of freedom to run away before any of the infernal creatures around it get a hold of it.
Joseph cursed in his mind as he rose back on his feet. Darn children, they got the power of the kindred but have no idea how to use it properly. Now their matriarch was another thing. She called off the little pups apologized and introduced herself, not forgetting however to remind Joseph who is the host and who is the guest around here. She was someone he could deal with.
"Do not worhrhy, honorhable Sherhrhashad." Joseph answered to her as politely as he could, "My name is Joseph Steinman and I do not wish to harhm yourh people in any way. I'm just looking forh some shelterh a good meal and someone to sharhe a converhsation with me. I prhomise that I will not be a botherh orh a burhden to you."

A Gypsien tune
-Excellent. Then you are most welcome to our humble camp. Sherrashad clapped her hands and once again the table was readied with the most delicious meals and drink. Come you are welcome to share our meal. Sherrashad and her children placed themselves around the table for the second time. Song and music.
As Joseph sat beside the table he noticed an eight kindred sitting with his face hidden in the shadows of the fire abd with a strange looking sword beside him. But the things that really caught Joseph's eyes where all that expensive jewelry that Sherrashad was wearing. Golden rings with jewelstones on every finger. Some fingers even had two or three rings on it. Three pairs of earrings made of pearls and gold. Five necklaces around her neck. All gold with pearl, rubies, saphires etc. Six bracelets, three on each arm and even bracelets around her ankles. And a golden tiara around her forehead, framed with diamonds. All in all she seemed to be one of the wealthiest gypsy he had ever met. Even the service and carafe's was of gold.
-I got most of it in Istanbul during my human life. Sherrashad said as she knew the questions that was on his mind. My life...well lat's just say it was spent in more wealthy surroundings than most humans. She smiled her most inviting smile showing off her pure white teeth. So tell me Joseph, what brings you to our camp? Do you also seek the advice of our clairvoyant? If so let me warn you, our services doesn't come cheap. Her voice was soft and with an axcotic accent as she spoke seductively.
Clearly since she didn't have any sucess with her other guest, she was trying her luck on the new one. Her belly dancer's outfit made her very attractive, combined with her enchanting looks.
-Here let me dance a bit for you before you answer. She snapped her fingers and almost emmidietly the musicians started playing a tune. Sherrashad starts dancing once again. This time she is even more obsessed with the rythm and the beat. Her body and soul burns with passion and joy. Her body and feet moves gracieously and intensely to the music.

The eighth kindred looked interesting. It didn't seem like he belonged here any more than Joseph did. But he clearly wanted to be left alone and Joseph had no reason to disturb him for now.
Sherrashad was much more interesting anyway. There was a strong aura of lust around her. Whether it was her real intention or just what she intended to show was a bit unclear. Regardless of her intentions, however, the result was astounding. It was clear that no mere human or even a young kindred stood a chance against this kind of power. In her own special way the matriarch's mind controlling powers were even stronger than Joseph's. Luckily for him he sealed his heart a long time ago and his mind was sharp enough to resist the temptation.
He smiled politely while Sherrashad danced and even clapped his hands from time to time, but was always sure not to get carried away. When the dance was over and Sherrashad rejoined him at the table he spoke:
"This was the most magnificient dance I have everh seen. I am most honorhed that I am being enterhtained by the matrhiarhch herhself, especially one so beautiful and skilled as you." He paused, letting Sherrashad enjoy his words for a moment, "As forh the rheason of my visit, I am new to these lands and was hoping that I could get some news frhom an independent sourhce. A disturhbing rhumorh is going arhound about someone named Drhacula. They say he declarhed warh on ourh kind. Is this trhue? And arhen't therhe any brhave kindrhed who can stop him?"

((flavor))
Silence fell over the camp like curtain. All activity ceased and the humans froze still like statues. Light and warmth left their surroundings. Even the large bonfire in the middle was exstinguished. Standing stll and silent, the humans lost all color in their skin and all life was blown away from their eyes. They just looked towards the table frightened.
Even the kindred was taken by his words. Pale , cold and lifeless all of them sat stiff aorund the table. Fear, no, terror lightened in their eyes. Horrifed they looked at each other, before looking at Joseph. The males clenched their fists and tightened their muscles. Their faces twisted in rage they sneered between their grited teeth. The two women shivered and pulled their veils tighter around them, as to shield them from the cold. Looking aorund them as to detect any threat or danger that may linger, hidden in the dark night.
-That name. Sherrashad finally said with a trembling voice. Horror, sheer horror luminated her now pale face. We doesn't speak his name, it's tabo amongst our clan to ever mention it. Her body shivered and tears seemed to force themselves through her eyes. Nor does we speak of him nor his actions, for they are horrible and that of a lunatic and a monster. She almost spit out the last words.
She looked around her and not surprising, finds it silent and covered in darkness. All their joy, love and affection has vansihed like thin air, replaced by fear, pain and even sorrow. It lays heavy like a thick fog hiding everything. Sherrashad seems deep in thought then sighs and nods her head, like agreeing to something.
-I must apologise to you brave travelers. She says with a voice broken by sorrow. But I regret our time together has come to an end. It's getting late and we need clean this place up so that we can breake camp at first light. With that she rose to her feet and snapped her fingers. Usually I would invite you to share our restingplace, but I fear you are no longer welcome in our camp. Therefore most unfortunately, I must kindly ask you to leave at once. Malakov and Krieger will follow you out. With that she turned around and walked towards her tent, followed by her two daughters and the sons wo minutes earlier had charged at Joseph. The other two Stood still waiting for their guests to rise and follow them.
-If you need to know, travel south-east to the land of Wallachia. Sherrashad turned in the opening of the tent. You know you are there when you see the "Forest of Impalement". It surround Wallachia's borders. But I advice you not to. There is evil there, unspeakable evil that even the kindred fear. And all you'll ever find is pain, sadness and death. Farewell my friends. And with that she disappeared behind the tent flap.

Joseph was mad at himself. Of course you don't mention the name of a vampire killer to a band of traveling kindred! How did that happen? Did Sherrashad's dance affect him after all? Made him more relaxed and say things he shouldn't have? It had to be it, for he hasn't misjudged a situation so badly in a long time. And now because of his carelessness he lost his best chance to gather valuable information. Trying to follow Sherrashad in an attempt to apologize was out of question, he would only ask for more trouble that way.
However, even in Sherrashad's parting speech Joseph managed to notice something interesting. "I must apologise to you brave travelers." Travelers, in plural. Joseph glanced at the kindred with the weird sword. So he is not one of them after all. Maybe he could be more useful. And even though getting the man booted from a perfectly good camp was not the best introduction, if he plays his cards well (this time) he could get something useful out of him.
Joseph rose up and turned to the two Ravnos who were waiting for him impatiently.
"When you rheturhn please tell yourh matrhiarhch that I sent both my grhatitude forh herh hospitality and my apologizes forh the inconvenience I caused. May yourh grhoup be frhee and prhosperhous. Now shall we go orh arhe waiting forh someone else?"
Joseph glanced at the strange kindred again.

Wulfstan stood up and approached the jew. His hand gripped the hild of his sword, ready to shed blood at any moment.
- Did you mention Dracula traveler?
- Yes... I did.
- It seems that we are on the same trail. the crone of this here camp said that I have to "deliver the judgement" on him. or that's the way I understood her words.- He turned away from the jew.
- I need to do something, I'll be here in a few moments. and if you want to feed, there's a few fresh corpses close to here. you may still find some blood in them, I think.

-Name's Malakov. Said one of the kindred. He had white skin with both grey eyes and hair. He looked like he could be in his early 20's but not younger than 18. He was very muscular and had three scars on his left cheek. The looked like clawmarks. He grabbed Joseph, turned him around and pushed him forward.
-No need to wait, move now. Then he began walking.
Krieger on the other hand looked much older. A man in his 40's maybe even 50's. Not as muscular as Malakov, but nonetheless a man best not underestimated. But his appearance was somewhat strange. Dark red skin with auburn hair and burgundy eyes. As Wulfstan was armed Krieger didn't mind waiting for him to start walking on his own. His only sign of impatience was a small growl from deep within his throat. But when Wulfstan showed signs of walkin further into the camp Krieger grabbed the kindred's shoulder and pushed him the other way.
-Our mother asked you to leave. Now Leave! He ordered while pointing over Wulfstan's shoulder towards the entrance of the camp.

- If you like your face the way it is, remove your filthy hand from my cloak- Said Wulfstan.- Tell milady that I thank for the meal and that some extra payment will be arriving shortly. Wulfstan walked away from the encampment back to his carriage. he saw a flock of ravens sitting on a lonely birch. Wulfstan looked at the biggest one's eyes.
- Come- He said telepathically. the raven flew onto his shoulder. Wulfstan opened another small sack and picked two beautifull emeralds. he looked at the black pearl he aqquired back in Japan, but shook his head and putted it back into the sack. He picked up another small sack, putted the two gemstones in it , and tied on the raven's leg.
- Deliver this to the gypsy matriarch. You'll know her when you see her. give this sack only to her. understand?- The raven nodded.
- Good. now, fly.- Wulfstan watched the raven taking off. he Entered the carriage and waited.

Joseph moved as Malakov pushed him from behind. Insolent youngster. Joseph could easily stop him with a mere look, but if someone saw it, it could cause trouble. And Joseph didn't want anymore trouble, especially not after such a pleasant surprise that covered for his recent failure. A kindred tat seeks to "deliver the judgement" onto Dracula. A warrior by the looks of it. He alone would not be enough of course, but it was a good start, certainly a better one than Joseph expected. He entered the carriage and sat down next to his new acquaintance.
"Shall we?"

- No. Not yet. I wan't to make sure that my delivery was a success.- Wulfstan looked into the sky. It was cloudy, but the moonlight tonight had broken through the clouds, and was lighting up the now sleeping town. Wulfstan saw the raven flying back. The matriarch must had accepted the two stones. The raven flew onto Wulfstan's shoulder. He picked up a stiletto, cutted his finger and fed a few drops of his blood to the bird.
- He can be of further use to us- explained Wulfstan to his new companion.- I had yet to catch your name..?

- Wulfstan. Wulfstan Von Corphen.- Wulfstan looked at his new companion's eyes- It's nice to see that at least some in this dump has manners. Well Joseph, it seems, we're on the same trail now. But alas, the two of us won't be able to bring down Dracula. Too bad that those gypsies chikened away. Don't they know that running away won't save them? heh... trickster's remain tricksters. not very suitable to battle I might add. But maybe it's for the better. They would have stabbed in the back us anyway. I think the way their matriarch seduces the traveler's must be to provide food for the Ravnos. pretty clever.
- Shall we sir?- the driver of the carriage, one of Ruth's ghouls asked Wulfstan. He was instructed to be Wulfstan's driver, until dismissed by him.
- Yes. To Wallachia.

Sherrashad stood in her tent looking out towards the directiong of where Wulstan and Joseph was walking previously. In her hand two emeralds, beatifully polished. A long time stood she there silent, and thoughtfull. Her eyes saw yet didn't see, like looking at a distant place in a distant time.
-Mother?! A sudden voice calling out startling her, dragging her from her memories. I'm sorry if I scared you but it's time for our rest. All the others has allready gone to sleep, you should go too. One of the women stood beside her waiting.
-Thank you for your concern. Sherrashad said kindly. I'm most gratefull. Come, let us rest. We have a long way to travel and a short time to do it. I want to put as much distance between us and Wallachia as possible. With that they both went for their beds to rest, while their mortal kin brought them away and out of reach for the brewing storm.

The carriage rode to the darkness, carrying the two vampires into the eye of the storm, The Dracula's castle. The ghastly vehicle looked like it emerged from the darkest nightmare, yet it was majestic and beautiful in a strange way, with hellish steeds pulling it, and the driver appearing as a wraith, whipping the steeds with his long jagged whip. This nightmarish sight could stop the hearts of the most brave mortals and even some of the weaker kindred. The neighing of the horses echoed through the empty woods, scaring the wildlife and lonely travelers alike. The way was long, And Wulfstan had planned three stops to rest up, think their approach, and hopefully find some allies. His raven flew in front of the carriage, scouting ahead. It's feathers turned to that red. Blood red. This raven of blood was like a third eye to Wulfstan. After a short while, he returned onto wulfstan's shoulder.
- Tell me what you saw.
the raven croaked several times.
- I see. Good work Corax.- Wulfstan groomed the bird and then turned to his new companion.
- Marauders ahead,about two leagues from us. I hope you're ready to fight Joseph, as they're quite few in numbers.
- How many?- He asked.
- Plenty. Two dozens. Maybe deserted recruits from these parts, who escaped from the ottoman ranks. We better stay sharp, as no telling, how many of them really are. Corax had spotted those 'hidden' around the road, but there may be more hiding in the undergrowth.
((1 league- about 3 miles))

Joseph sighed. Fighting, he usually preferred to find ways around it. Besides, he teamed up with this warrior so he wouldn't have to fight. Joseph looked at his companion. He was no fool and judging by the way he carried himself, he was used to travelling alone. Which means that he would abandon Joseph if Joseph doesn't "prove" himself as useful. So he'll have to fight. Still, they had to be careful and in order to work together efficiently they had to know each other's strengths and weaknesses.
"If the foolish humans wish to perhish at ourh hands I will have no objections. Howeverh, you should know that while I do have a few trhicks up my sleeves I am not much of a melee fighterh. I hope we can find a way to victorhy nonetheless."

The carriage stopped, and some voices were heard. then came knocking.
-open up! we have to search your vehicle, those were the orders.
- so it begins. In three... two... one... NOW!- Wulfstan opened the door, and with one quick slash, cutted off the head of the attacker. the band of marauders stood frozen, dazzled by the moonlight reflected from the blade. Wulfstan jumped into action using every single maneuver he learned, utilizing his blade's light weight and speed to a full extent. He was in the heat of battle, and didin't saw Joseph. Either he was overwhelmed, which was very unlikely, or he used his powers and tricks upon them. He didn't had the time to think about his new companion however, as he defended himself against countless blades. Another head flew by. Wulfstan was enraged, and for a short moment his inner beast took over. blood dripped from his blade. Wulfstan licked it , terrifying his oponents in the process. With his eyes gleaming red, he charged straight forward to them, cutting them down with relitive ease. The battle resemble a twisted wild dance, as Wulfstan's victims fell one by one from his gracefull and deadly sword. Wulfstan continued to rise his blade untill only one of his oponents were left standing.
- I lost my control for a while. And I always am the last man standing.- Wulfstan smiled, and walked towards his victim. The marauder tried to say something, but was impaled through the heart. But as Wulfstan kneeled t feed, a flare was shot in the sky. Wulfstan covered his eyes from the light. several bolts were shot at his direction. as the light receeded he saw a man in a long cloak, his cuirass being decorated by an ornate cross. the man was holding a strange contraption which resembled a crossbow, and a sword. Wulfstan knew perfectly who this man was. A mortal sworn down to exterminate the Kindred and other creatures of the night. A hunter hired by the inquisition.

As Wulfstan jumped out of the carriage the door on Joseph's side opened as well. A bandit armed with a sword moved to strike Joseph, but stopped in place seeing the vampire's deep eyes. Then Joseph's lips moved whispering something. The bandit turned around and slashed the throat of one of his companions. The others shouted at him in anger and confusion, but all the man could hear was the soft whisper in his head "Kill them". He murdered another two in the confusion before the rest had to kill him to preserve themselves. On the other side of the carriage Wulfstan was fighting for his life, but Joseph didn't have time to worry about him now. Another man jumped on him, but as long as Joseph sat in the carriage and there was only room for one man to attack him, mere humans could not touch him. The second man fell under Joseph's influence just like the first one and shared his fate. Joseph looked at the remaining bandits on his side of the carriage, their auras all turned orange - the color of fear. Fear - one of the greatest weapons a kindred has over men. Joseph smiled and walked out of the carriage, calm, mysterious and intimidating. One of the thugs cried out and ran towards him, but was stopped in his tracks by Joseph's look. Joseph looked around at each and every one of the men surrounding him, their swords shaking in their hands. He concentrated his will and said in a quiet, but incredibly commanding voice - "Sleep". One by one, all of the bandits around him dropped their swords and fell on the ground unconscious.
Joseph sighed with relief and walked to the other side of the carriage to see how his new companion was doing. He made sure to keep behind the carriage, however, no reason to reveal himself to his enemies for now. He witnessed Wulfstan impale the last of his opponents when a flare lit up the sky. Joseph closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them he saw the hunter. That was all they needed right now. Joseph hid behind the carriage. If the hunter was alone then he would be no trouble. Powerful and trained as he may be, no human can resist Joseph's influence, but there were more it could be problematic. It looked like this Wulfstan was strong enough to hold his ground alone, this gave Joseph the time to try and locate other hunters from a safe distance.

- Come fiend! Come over into the light! Surrender, and your end shall be quick!
- Your foolish words won't convince me mortal! I'll never bow down to your false god and his lackeys!
The hunter's face turned red from all the anger that was boiling inside of him. He dropped his hat on the ground and aimed at Wulfstan.
- Now Corax!- The raven flew towards the hunter, trying to peck his eyes. As the mortal was busy trying to repel the bird, Wulfstan made his move, and kicked the crossbow out of the hunter's hand.
- Does your god doesn't give you the strength to fight me face to face? Do you always use this contraption to take down your prey?! Coward!
- Who Are you calling coward?- The man's face was full of scratches and bleeds, which were the result from raven's talons and beak.
- Enough Corax! Now, Let's see your courage mortal!- Wulfstan clashed blades with the hunter. The duel was fierce. At one side, a vampire, an outcast among his own people, aiming to overthrow one of the biggest murderers that ever lived, and on the other side, a human, a fearless mortal sworn to retake the night from the beings that ruled it over with an iron fist. The hunter was a skilled fighter, but he barely repelled the slashes and thrusts delivered by Wulfstan. The silver disc of the moon lightened the two beings, who seem to be locked in an eternal battle. With a forcefull blow, Wulfstan broke his oponents sword. The Blood Lotus was hard-tempered over twenty times, by seven master swordsmiths. The Daymio wanted that his most trusted vassal would have the best weapon avaivable. The one and only. After the blade was completed, he ordered the smiths and their family to be killed, to prevent that a weapon of such might could never be made again. some even said that the Blood Lotus was even stronger than the blade of the shogun. The hunter stood defeated and kneeled before the victor, submitting entirelly to his will..
- What are you waiting for? Finish me!- he spat out some blood.
Wulfstan pointed at the hunters dagger.
- You deserved to die in honor. Take your knife, and stab it in your neck.
- Why..?
- Die willingly, or slave for me in this never ending nightmare. What do you choose?
The hunter didn't said a thing, but picked up his dagger and sliced this throat. Wulfstan stood there and saw his oponent's life fading away.
- A wise choice friend. If destiny would let us met in another circumstances, maybe we could have been friends. Rest now. The nightmare for you is over.
wulfstan then picked up his crossbow. it seemed that someone attached a drum to it, full of bolts. this way the weapon could been used as a lethal force against a vast army with no needing to reload. Wulfstan then looted the corpse of the hunter, finding several other such drums and a silver locket.
- As I said. I'm always... The last man standing.
