That was before the bloodbath began.
Nardtoleth was practically rabid, in the grips of a terrible rage. He slapped
Slipholath, hard, across her full, pouty lips.
"I thought you said that Walt would never again return to his DemonSlaying
ways! What kind of a vampiress seer are you, bitch?!"
She licked her lips, tasting her own blood, such that it was, the putrid
fluid, in comparison to the life-giving elixir she craved, and spat in his face, a
flagrant act of disrespect that would cost a lesser member of the tribe its
unlife.
"Like all things barely known and unknown, that was a pronouncement of
probability! How was anyone, even I, to know that your stupid familiars would act
out of habit and provoke a known Slayer within his own territory?! I told you not
to allow them to desecrate churches and graveyards on his turf! And to permit them
their insane lusts for children was the final straw! You knew he had agents as
far west as Mobile, perhaps even beyond!"
"You dare tell me how to administrate
my minions?! I should feed your
worthless carcass to the soul-eater now!"
She was livid with her own rage, now, a reflection of his own, the stress of
being the hunted telling on them both, "But you won't! Because you know, not only
am I right, I am your only hope of out-manuevering and defeating this band of do-
gooders!"
"You'd best put your most adept pupils on their visioncaster! Now!"
Sarcastically, she hissed, "As you wish-
master."
