Elder Blood Witcher 254 Reima > Vampire

"Is that Obliviator, Elton going to be able to do the whole village?" he asks doubtful that any wizard apart from maybe Dumbledore could do such a thing.

Moody "Course not, this has become an incident almost on the level of the death eater attacks from the past... We need to get it under control or the whole of magical Britain could be at risk."

With the Obliviator gone Moody immediately starts asking Reima various questions about what he's discovered, Reima tries to speak as truthfully as he can without revealing the existence of Nerissa and her home.

Reima "What is the ministry's thoughts on vampires?" he asks curiously.

Moody continues to walk along the street without looking at him, his wooden leg appearing to cause him tremendous discomfort. "Vampires? Dark creatures the lot of em, never met one that hadn't tried to tear me apart or turn me." Tonks looks especially interested at the various stories Moody starts to tell about his past experiences, Reima just nods on idly and thinking how he's going to keep the Auror's away from Nerissa. "What would happen to a vampire trying to live peacefully?"

The veteran barks a laugh, "Peaceful? You've gone barmy. CONSTANT VIGILANCE! That is the only thing that protects us all from becoming like this half-living monsters."

Once the group enter into the apparent centre of the village Moody pulls his wand out and mutters a couple incantations that Reima has never heard before, he does this in all directions until he looks towards the dark forest. "There, in the forest... Someone's using magic, I'd place bets on them being Hogwarts students but we have to check to make sure." he says as he starts to hobble in that direction, Reima just follows behind while keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.

As they approach the treeline of the forest Reima notices just how clumsy Tonks actually is... They've been walking for maybe 20-30 minutes and she's fallen atleast 10 times already, combine this with the peg-legged Moody and you've got the most immobile master-apprentice duo he's ever seen.

Reima stops them as he notices something strange, looking around this was the area that they'd come out of the treeline from, the lake shouldn't be too far from here... No, what troubles Reima are the fresh tracks leading into the forest, they aren't Nerissa's as she's always bare foot. He notices some tracks with less depth than the others, probably female by the.. weight... s.h.i.+t. He looks up and eyes the disturbed foliage before glancing back at the Auror duo, "Looks like my friend had come this way, along with atleast three other people, we should probably hurry up, My friend is strong but I dou-" he's stopped when he barely catches a high pitched sound, a whistle? A whistle! he mentally exclaims as he charges into the forest, his low light vision allowing him to easily traverse the thick undergrowth.

He keeps sprinting, faster than even vampires of this world are capable of and eventually reaches the lake where the boy and his father were fis.h.i.+ng. He spots them, three cloaked figures looking into the lake from the bank. Wasting no time he points his staff forwards and conjures many Crystal Soul Arrows, they give off an ominous blue glow as he shoots them towards the unidentified threats.

All of them notices the disturbance with the exception of the one standing in the middle, as they others dodge he looks at his sides confused before he's completely and utterly annihilated by the barrage of Crystalline Arrows. Something which surprises Reima is that his body bursts into ashes as he dies, something else that causes him a great deal of confusion is the fact that he didn't absorb his soul, is his Dark Sign no-longer working as intended?

Regardless he turns his focus onto the enemies now stalking him in the surroundings foliage, he utilises his Observation Haki to his max capabilities and waits for them with his Staff of Ma.n.u.s prepared to strike anything that comes close. He doesn't have to wait long when a black figure bursts out of the bushes, their hands transformed into long claws. Reima swipes his axe at them, it's speed not seeming to match the amount of effort he put into it, the axe whistles through the air and cleaves down the centre of the creatures body from head to crotch, completely bisecting them.

"One down, one to go." he mutters as he waits for the next one... But they don't come, he hears a rustle in the bushes behind him and almost beheads the person stumbling through, he manages to stop himself as he sees the fearful face of Tonks, her hair turning green, blue and everything in between as Moody hobbles in after her.

Moody "Nymphadora! Don't go charging into a battle ground again! I didn't come out of retirement to present your folks your severed head!" He shouts as he points his finger into her face, Tonks only replies with "Don't call me that!" before sheepishly looking around the clearing, "Did you catch them?"

Reima shakes his head, "One got away and the other two turned to dust when I killed them."

Moody seems to half smile and half frown as he mutters "Shame, coulda questioned one... No trouble though, good riddance to tras.h.!.+" he says as he spits on the floor.

Tonks "You said they turned to ash? Must've been vampires."

Moody scowls, "No s.h.i.+t Nymphadora, argh! Without any information Amelia's likely going to have to send the entire office down here."
