18 Elder Vampire
{A/N : Here is the new and updated map of Zarza. As well as the two new kingdoms in the south, they are in the Qahila Desert. Qahila means barren or unforgiving, it leans more towards barren. As for the red swirls this is quicksand which only the natives can navigate through, the whole desert in general is only navigable by the natives. As for the small rectangular border above the red swirls is the only entrance into the desert except the sea, it is an "impenetrable fortress" and they are manned/defended by the two kingdoms. If you look closely to the sides, you will see strange pixels, this indicates mountains, they are huge rocky mountains which prevents anyone from entering, except through the fortress. One more thing, the red borders around the Caligo Forest is Dracula's new territory. Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful week.}
[Vlad POV]
It has been two days now since we have won the battle. Esmeralda and Meredith consulted with me about a plan to conquer the underworld of the kingdoms. I agreed and sent them both with Volrais as well. They are taking over the underworld, and converting those within into vampires.
As for the bodies and souls... there is exactly 39,992 thousand bodies and souls. 6,008 survived and escaped the battle. In the course of two days, I have managed to turn 15,000 bodies into Undead Knights. As well as an additional 5,000 and then I mutated them, inducing them with further power by using dark magic. They are much stronger than the previous Undead Knights that I made, these retained their souls, and I made sure they were "cleansed", before doing anything.
As for the 19,992 thousand. They are safely preserved in a hidden place, their bodies and souls. I am going to experiment with some undead and see what I can get out of it.
As for the vampires that were in hiding, they have come to the Traj Kingdom. Which is now part of the territory called Caligo, my territory, the Traj Kingdom is no more. {A/N : Hey there. I hope some of you can give me a cool name for Dracula's Empire.}
The number of vampires that arrived are exactly 24,394. More than I thought. I have sent vampires to the time dimension in the Caligo Forest, about 12,000 of the vampires who were hiding, and those who were within my army and the Elder council's, all of them went. They number 25,000 in total. Dragan and his captains, Hendriksen, and Jotmonn all went with them to train them.
Five thousand will be trained in stealth and the rest will be split between Vampire Knights and Vampire Vanguards. I have made concoctions for all three units, that only specifically work with vampires, that have my insignia. It is a magical brand that is invisible except to those who have it. I placed it on them after the battle and when the ones who were in hiding arrived.
Hendriksen, Esmeralda, Remus, and Meredith came to me to speak about something "important". They wanted to work on a unit. A unit which is very special and powerful. Learning of my abilities and powers, as well as what I could do they came up with a method to enhance units, since Meredith and Esmeralda are proficient and talented in Alchemy and Magic, as for their husbands, they are more proficient in matters of war and strategies. As well as things such as stealth, tactics, techniques and etc...
They asked me to give them 1,000 vampires, best of the best and asked the help of Dragan as well. I agreed and told them when both Meredith and Esmeralda finish settling the matters with underworld and come back. They will all take the best 1,000 vampires I have and train them. These vampires will be very special. They will be trained in all weapons equally. As well as many things such as strategies, tactics, techniques, magic, alchemy and so on. They will be the most powerful unit/soldiers in my army and they will only answer to me.
I am currently waiting in the courtyard of the Elder Castle waiting for the Elders to arrive.
As I am standing there looking at the birds, the Elders arrive. Remus, Meredith, Helena, Brendan, Zelgrath, as well as Jason and Maya.
I turn around and they all bow and the straighten up and I ask "How are you all?" they all nod and say good as I continue "You ready?" they all nod and one by one I change them into an... Elder Vampire.
Elder Vampires are way more superior physically than Vampire Lords. They are more skilled and talented with magic, especially Dark Magic and it's sub-categories such as, blood magic, soul magic, and etc. A lot of the weakness are either met by a resistance or immunity. The only thing that might give them a bad time is Holy Magic. I would have mentioned divine magic and divine weapons and divine this and that... but it is not common. The only ones who can wield said things or have said things are Celestials and their progeny. In case of their progeny, it is uncommon, but not rare.
Once I finished transforming them, they all became a little younger and more beautiful. Although Remus and Meredith decided to keep their looks.

"You must be carful from now on. You are physically stronger, so I would suggest you go to a secluded place and get used to it. But, you have experience so... I doubt you would have a lot trouble." I say, smilingly.
Meredith comes my way and gives me a hug, as well as Remus. Meredith's eyes gets a little watery and she says "Your mother would be so proud of you..."
I say "Thank you... You've said this like a thousand times now..." Remus and Meredith both chuckle as they bow and the rest do the same and leave on their way.
Tomorrow will be the second time the 25,000 vampires go in for another year... two years of training, and so tomorrow I will go there to check out their progress.
Today I decided to experiment on things, mainly my magic. I have already tested my body, and I am much more powerful, physically.
The thing is I can generate and channel magic. To generate within me and channel from outside. But even that is limited. There is always a limit to everything.
After testing out what my magic can and cannot do, I found out it all lies within the caster's imagination and will. That is all that limits it, as well as reserves and what limits is put upon us in this mortal plane.
With Dark Magic, I can curse, manipulate, use illusions, conjure, summon and etc. There is many things you can do with it. Even heal, although, not the living. For, it just corrupts them.
I decided to summon even further Gargoyles, about 3,000 and I commanded them to patrol the borders of the old Traj Kingdom. I as well put aside 9,992 corpses and their souls for Volrais to turn them into nightcreatures.
[Asgard POV]
In a private hall, reserved for the family members of Odin. There sits opposite of each other, Thor and Odin. They are sitting on a table consisting of ten chairs, the table and chairs all have beautiful Norse carvings.
"SEE! Told you all is going to be fine. Ha ha ha ha..." Odin shouts, proudly and laughs lightly at the end.
"Unbelievable... he managed to do it once more..." says Thor in surprised and proudful manner and Odin nods.
*Clap* *Clap *Clap*
A man walks out of the shadows and says with a big smile, almost a grin "Truly wonderful... My nephew is a true master, if I do say so myself." chuckling at the last part.
"Loki...." says Odin, surprised and suspicious. And Thor just sits there, debating something within himself.
"Oh come now Father... It has been over 20,000 years.... you think after what happened I will do something like that again... You should stop being suspicious." says Loki with a playful smile.
"Let's be real Loki," says Odin as he motions for Loki to sit on his left. Loki does and Odin continues "you aren't known as the God of Mischief and The Trickster for no reason..." as Odin finishes Loki chuckles mischievously.
Suddenly Loki shivers as he looks at his brother, Thor. "Please brother... I am not going to mess with him... I will never do anything that may put him in harms way." Loki says in all sincerity, surprising Odin.
"What?" says Loki confused, he then chuckles and says "I can be good... sometimes.", as he shrugs at the last part.
Odin chuckles and they continue to talk with each other.
{Loki}
{A/N : In my story, this universe. Loki is the half-brother of Thor. His biological father is Odin, and his mother Laufey. No, not the Marvel Laufey. It is Laufey from Norse Mythology.}
