After deciding Darren wasn't worth her time Lilium turned back to her brother.
"What are you doing here?" (Lilium)
Gernam's false face became a large smile.
"Teaching." (Gernam)
The girl glared at her brother and her disbelief turned to anger. Then she pointed an outstretched hand in his direction. Those able to sense magic immediately tensed at the power of the spell. The moment the spell touched Gernam he went to his knees.
"You should have just disappeared. 1200 years you've been gone. If you think I'll let fil..."
She was interrupted by Darren before she could finish.
"Well aren't we full of ourselves. Before you say something you'll regret allow me to warn you. Insult or speak ill of him in my presence and I'll end your temporary existence faster than you can lift a finger." (Darren)
She turned towards Darren. Enhancing her sight she observed his mana capacity. Then she smiled.
"Though your mana capacity is astoundingly high. It's unrefined, you can't even cast a tier 2 spell." (Lilium)
"Like a human could even lift a finger against one of her kind. You should just know your pla..." (Elf student)
Before he could respond he suddenly face planted. The force pulling him down was so strong he couldn't even lift himself up.
The girls eye's narrowed.
"Weight magic?" (Lilium)
She had never seen it so powerful.
"If you think that's the full extent, .........well just try me and find out." (Darren)
Habbron was extremely uncomfortable with the situation. So he coughed to get the groups attention. Then motion to the students watching the encounter.
"Perhaps we should continue this somewhere more private." (Habbron)
"Yes I agree. I propose my classroom." (Gernam)
Habbron nodded. Turning to address the class.
"We will continue tomorrow. Dismissed." (Habbron)

Begrudgingly the students filed out of the large room.
Darren dispersed the minuscule amount of darkmatter that held down the elf. The boy filed out with the rest of the classroom but gave Darren a glare as if to say it wasn't over.
After arriving in Gernam's classroom Darren started the discussion.
"So is this a thing in your family. Being undead?" (Darren)
"Undead?" (Lilium)
She questioned almost convincingly.
"I don't know what those elves think you are. But I'm pretty sure you're a vampire." (Darren)
Her eyes widened. Then she suddenly appeared next to Darren. A blood red blade pressed to his neck.
"Give me one reason not to kill your friend." (Lilium)
"For one he knows I'm a lich so calm down. Second I'd let him go before she kills you." (Gernam)
Lilium suddenly felt an emmense pressure bearing down on her. In front of Gernam's desk a colossal wolf appeared.
"Remove yourself from my mate, whelp." (Lycan)
The vampire had no clue who the wolf was, but she could since the overwhelming power emanating from her.
Reluctantly she released Darren. Then she turned to her brother.
"How did you survive the lich hunts. And why did you never say anything." (Lilium)
"My abode was never discovered. However I knew the Arcanist would be constantly searching so I laid low. Even after 200 years they still almost caught me. So I set myself to research." (Gernam)
"For 1000 years?" (Lilium)
"180 actually. The rest is none of your concern." (Gernam)
The girl glared at her brother.
"Hey so umm are you going to answer my question?" (Darren)
"What question?" (Gernam)
"About your family being undead. Also why do those elves not know what a vampire is?" (Darren)
"Vampires are actually very well known. However most people call them nightkin. They also don't know a vampire's true nature. As undead or their eating habits. They just think they are a race of long lived enigmatic people. Even the elves don't trifle with them." (Gernam)
"How long did it take them to get themselves in that position?" (Darren)
"Only about 90 years of careful planning." (Lilium)
Darren nodded but said nothing further.
"So, Lilly how did you die." (Gernam)

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
