Army of the Damned

VOLUME 5 Chapter 4

After eating, the group decided to find a Hotel to sleep for the night. In a while, they managed to find one that was staffed by Vampires and Humans and is touted as "Bloodsucker Friendly" near the City Square. The luxurious hotel's lobby already excludes wealth and power, with all of the people on it wearing beautiful dresses and amazing suits. The fine lady on the desk gently bows and puts up a warm smile at the unique bunch.

"Welcome to Hotel Charles De Gaulle, how may we help you today?"

"How much is a room for a night?"

"Two thousand five hundred gold, three thousand if you want room services including an unlimited amount of food."

"TWO- Th-that's basically highway robbery!"

"Sorry sir, but running a Hotel for both Humans and Vampires isn't exactly cheap."

"That's true. Ugh, will you take objects with you? I don't exactly think I can materialize two thousand plus gold coins without collapsing. Heck, I only have one currency and it's the one we use in Dark World."

"Of course sir."

As he continues talking to the cute girl at the reception area, the two vampires look around the expensive lobby. The Masquerade mask the Queen was wearing is gaining the attention of the people there, sneaking in stares and looks of jealousy at the purple beautiful dress and porcelain mask full of jewelry she had.

Behind them, Paul materializes a red ruby, and presents it at the woman who was immediately and visibly enamored by it. After some time, it was appraised at the price point of six thousand gold. To make use of it all, he instead requests for two nights at the luxurious establishment with all the extras. Entering the elevator, it takes them to the 15th floor where a big carpeted hallway greets the trio. The Male attendant leads them to the edge of the floor. Opening the door and revealing a beautiful ornate room full of Victorian Era artifacts. The two Vampires immediately fell in love and felt right at home. Meanwhile Paul continues to follow the man as he leaves a brief overview of the functions of the room, what caught his attention was the large Jacuzzi adjacent to the Masters Bedroom.

The Living Room was gigantic, with three large sofas looking at a glass table with a flask of fresh human Blood, a Kitchen full of modern appliances like an Electric Stove, Oven, Fridge and a Bookshelf full of random books about history and culture on the other side next the door that leads to the Master Bedroom. Soon after the attendant left, the Queen immediately removed her Masquerade Mask and dived into the sofa. Hugging all the pillows there while Alana goes to the kitchen with Bahamut. Looking for ingredients and food to eat. Meanwhile, the tired General calmly enjoys an indoor Jacuzzi bath.

"Ahhhh... this is the life."

In the middle of his trance, Bahamut uses her telekinetic powers to open the sliding door to the marble bathroom where she joins him, acknowledging her. He picks up a Sponge and starts cleaning the small Dragon. She's visibly enjoying it, getting the harder spots on her body cleaned fully and her tail all sparkly and the black armored scales of her body started gleaming and reflecting the well-lit room. Little to her knowledge is that Paul was having a flashback.

On a wonderful garden of a snow white castle, he is in skeleton form, wearing Eldwood's General uniform and pointing a revolver at a beautiful High Elf wearing an Angelic White Dress, the woman's long silver hair reaching the stone floor of the Gazebo she stood on, his Black Ops soldiers decked in modern gear have surrounded her. Gunshots and explosions are heard throughout the Castle as Blackhawks and Littlebirds lay waste to the wonderful and carefully crafted palace. Riddling all of the walls and windows with bullets.

"We won ma'am. I hope this will be enough of a warning. Do not put your noses on things you do not understand."

"Such barbaric acts. Did any of my men shoot back at you? All they could do was charge at your soldiers with swords and shields."
