Lyra didn't even get a chance to to fight before a body went flying through the air. No one had a chance to react before the twins got knocked away by the body. The three went flying through the air landing a couple feet away. Lyra and Poke looked on in confusion as everything happened so quickly.
"TAKE THAT YOU BLOOD SUCKING Abominations!", Sami screamed shouting as he slid across the ground trying to come to a stop.
Lyra looked at Sami in shock as she noticed his shirt missing, blushing at the site of his back. Poke took note of her face but didn't say anything.
"Sami!"Lyra called out as she ran up to him. She started fussing over all the cuts he had.
Poke slowly made his way over to the pair looking at the way Lyra interacted with Sami. A feeling of jealousy bloomed in his chest before he squashed realizing such emotions aren't welcome during a mission.
"Well lookie here the big Oaf lives", Poke taunted Sami as he moved to stand next to Lyra.
"Sigh can you not Poke", Lyra huffed. "I don't get why you're always so kind to people but rude to Sami for no reason."
"Meh it's okay, I just assume it's his way of making sure I'm not a threat.", Sami chuckled.
Poke didn't commit though he noticed Lyra frown at Sami's response. Lyra though muttered uttered her breath summoning a small golden sword to her hand. Waving it across Sami's body the small cuts slowly closed together allowing to breathe easier as his ribs healed.
Once Lyra finished, Sami quickly marched his way to where he threw Cassian. Poke and Lyra followed him as they went to inspect the bodies. Sami snapped his fingers, summoning chains that tied all three of them together.
Poke looked on in annoyance at the causal way Sami used magic without words. Poke could only use one spell without words that were his clones. Even then it was a clone that could attack and the medium was his now broken dagger. A dagger that he enchanted with his magic.
Sami not noticing Poke had the chains drain them of any energy essentially keeping them all knocked out.
"Your spells have gotten stronger," admitted Lyra. "The training with Anna has paid off."
"Wait what!"Poke shouted.
Sami jumped at the loud scream as he rubbed his ear. "Can you please not shout like that in my ear," Sami whined.
"How did you get to train with Lady Anna!"Poke demanded, completely ignoring Sami's statement.
"Um, actually she broke into my house and said she chose to train me along with Lyra", Sami replied. Scratching his head in embarrassment.
Poke turned and kicked the rock on the ground muttering to himself, "Why would someone with her esteem train someone like you."
Lyra just sweat dropped at the argument due to not having much to say. Part of the reason Anna trained Sami was because of Mercer. Though she felt there was a deeper reason than just a grandfather looking out for a grandson. She just hasn't figured it out.
"None of that is important", Sami sighed. Wanting to get the conversation back on track. "We need to talk about these guys"
"Oh what about them?"Lyra questioned as she crossed her arms.
"Welp Onyx told me these are vampires", Sami replied.
"That's impossible", Poke gasped. Lyra nodded her head in agreement.
"Not only are vampires hunted to extinction but the last known location of them was recorded 400 years ago", Lyra added in.
BOOM!
The ground shook with a loud explosion making the trio stumble. Stopping Sami's reply as he tried to not fall to the ground. Lyra looked up in worry as she saw part of the shrine collapse in on itself.
"LADY AKIO", screamed Lyra as she started rushing back to the shrine.
Poke quickly followed behind Lyra, as he was also worried about Kim. The poor girl was dealing with two of her friends dying and losing fights easily. Hopefully after this she'll learn from this mission and grow stronger.
Sami, seeing them rush off, sighed before summoning a chain that connected to the knocked vampires from the ground. The chain dragged the three behind him as he quickly caught up to the duo.
As they got closer to the shrine, smoke rose from the top of it as more of it began to fall in. Soon the three near the entrance of the church, but before any of them could enter the church a figure emerged. Walking slowly out the entrance in his hand was Akio being held by her throat.
"LADY AKIO!"screamed Lyra.
Before either Poke or Sami could react, Lyra rushed at the man. She quickly summoned a sword into her hand as charged in. Before she could reach the man he waved his hand, freezing her mid run.
"That's so rude the youth these days have no manners", chided Silas.
"Please… don't… hurt her", gasped Akio each word more painful than the last.
"Let's do a trade then I give you back the young lady and in turn I get my weak subordinates behind you.", Silas proposed.
"Like hell", Poke shouted out. Anger cleared in his eyes as he glared at the man.
"See that wasn't an offer it was a demand.", Sials growled out. His smile still on his face as he threw Lyra at Sami.
He then used his power to break the chains and bring his subordinates on the ground in front of his feet. He slowly feeds them his energy, healing the cracks that formed over their bodies from the damage of the fighting they've been going through.
Quickly the vampires began to regain consciousness as they climbed to their feet. Though the anger in their bodies so turned to fear as they noticed Silas in front of them.
"Master!"cried out Cassain as he dropped to one knee. The twins quickly followed behind him as they honored him.
"Ahh yes Cassain you have disappointed me, along with the twins.", Silas mocked the grin on his face becoming bigger.
"Master forgive this humble-", began Cassain.
"Shut the fuck up", Sami screamed. "We seriously don't have time for your emo sex bullshit so if we're not going to fight let the old lady go"
Sami stepped in front of Lyra and Poke as he had enough of the drama. The three vampires shook in fear at the way the Sami talked to Silas. Silas though was intrigued by Sami. Not because he stood up to him, not because it was more than that. The energy he felt from Sami was familiar.
Silas sniffed the air as a word came to mind. "Lamia!". He muttered. His voice took on an ugly tone.
Akio cried out in pain as his hand tightened around her throat. Poke and Lyra tried to rush past Sami but were frozen in place by Slias. His angry glaze was focused on Sami.
"I don't even care about this old sack of bones", Slias growled out. Throwing Akio roughly on the ground in front of Lyra.
Lyra's eyes moved to the body of Akio but couldn't move because of the spell. Silas kicked Cassian out of his way as he stalked toward Sami. Cassian, though in pain, ignored it as he quickly gathered himself.
Cassian forced him to stand up. Hopefully he doesn't incur more of his master's wrath. The twins also followed suit, making sure that they get out of Silas's path.
In the blink of an eye Slias made it to Sami, picking him up by his throat. Sniffing, he smelt Sami deeper. Sami for the first time felt utterly defeated as he tried to claw at the hand on his throat.
