will take several days. Choose your weapons wisely as there is danger lurking at every turn. Remember to be diligent in your search. I wish you both luck,” the leader of the Federation stated.

"I don't trust Robert at all,” Alisha interrupted. “Lillith and Christian, I feel like he should be dealt with now..."

The Federation leader cut her off mid-sentence. "Human, be mindful of your manners. I would hate to cause the future queen or king to lose both of their parents."

“Try it if you dare, bloodsucker. I swear to you that your head will be separated from your body," Alisha retorted, gripping the sheath of her sword.

“That’s enough!” Christian snapped. “I respect the Federation, but I will not have my mother threatened. I think it’s best if we go our separate ways for the night.”

“That would probably be wise,” the Federation leader agreed.

Chapter Seven

As the group loaded up, preparing for the biggest test of their lives, Alisha was completely calm about what lay ahead for the group. It wasn’t really a surprise as she had faced death many times. Lillith and Christian, however, were both nervous as was Mackinzie. Nevertheless, they were committed, and as soon as the fog lifted, they moved out slowly and quietly.

"We must find the old woman. I was told that she will know where to find this sword," Christian explained as he took the lead.

A breeze stirred the leaves at the entrance of the woods. A sign warned all vampires that they were entering the giant's domain. The smell of brimstone went from a faint smell to an overpowering stench, and Mackinzie and Lillith were visibly worried. Christian was unafraid as he walked with the focus of a true king. Alisha followed close behind Christian, walking carefully and listening for any sign of giants.

The giants left huge footprints embedded deep into the dirt, but they were careful, and their steps were as quiet as they could make them. Robert and the giant slayers also knew how to be quiet as they appeared without warning. JH was with them, dressed in the armor they had presented to him after his fight with Maximus. Lillith and Mackinzie nodded to JH as Robert informed them that the Federation had directed them to join the prince and princess on their quest.

Little did they know that as they moved deeper into the giant’s territory, another ship was arriving on the shore...

After waiting in the mist until the darkness had covered the land, a group of men and women exited the ship all dressed for battle. Their leader, a woman, was attired in a leather trench coat and white shirt paired with black leather pants and long leather crisscrossed boots. Her long, twin colored blonde and brown hair curled and blew into the wind, and her hazel eyes were fierce in her perfectly shaped face, which gave way to dimples when she smiled. Her name was Rachael O’Quinn, and she was one of the master slayers. Her slayer powers were unparalleled, and she never held back.

As she placed her broad sword into the dirt and sniffed into the air, she whistled, bringing out two very large wolves, one white and one black. The wolves, Fire and Ice, moved to stand on either side of her as she said, "It's a fine day to turn some vampires into dust."

She had quite the group with her. There was Danielle, a strong sorceress with powers to match any sorcerer they might face. Then there were three other slayers just as strong as Alisha and two vampires, Michael and Eric, who had chosen to fight alongside the slayers.

"Just like Alisha said, they never expected someone to follow them through the portal. We may never leave here, but the solar bomb that we have with us will make sure these bloodsuckers will never feed again," Racheal stated as she looked around at this strange new world.

The vampires had no idea their shores had been invaded by their greatest enemy and that there was a traitor living amongst them.

In the forest of ancients, the group walked amongst the leaves and willow trees. They were all being as quiet as they could until Mackinzie started sneezing.

“Shhh,” Christian shushed her as he put his finger to his lips, but it was too late. The arachnids began to descend upon them. These giant spiders were able to harm even a vampire.

“Okay, my love, you started this, so I will let you take the first one,” Christian said as they all drew their swords.

Mackinzie wouldn’t get that chance though, because Robert and the giant slayers ran in front of them and began destroying the arachnids. Their speed and precision were awe-inspiring as their swords beheaded one spider after another. Then, JH jumped into the air and began cutting the webs, causing the giant spiders to fall. As they dropped, the others gutted them!

As green gore started to spew out of the arachnids, Mackinzie turned away. Lillith, however, was excited as she joined in the slaughter, and Alisha followed right on her heels. Not to be outdone, Christian raised his sword and rain into the fray, joining them in slaughtering the arachnids.

It wasn’t long before a giant hiss filled the air.

Robert looked up and warned, “Oh, we have done it now! Momma is pissed!"

"Momma? You mean these are babies? They are nearly as big as us!" Lillith’s voice was shaky as she responded.

The trees began to ruffle, then they slowly began bending over as a mountain of an arachnid descended, spraying web over them.

"It’s trying to trap us!" Lillith screamed.

“I’ve noticed,” Robert shouted back at her.

As the spider’s web grew thicker, they became entrapped. Mackinzie, seeing everyone trapped, gained her courage and ran into the action, attacking the web with her sword. She managed to free JH and Lillith just as the queen landed on the ground, laughing.

“Vampires are a scarce delicacy around here. My other children will be pleased,” she taunted, lifting up to show
