Camazotz could see far ahead of Ranar in the darkness. He walked silently, his usual creepy aura sending shivers down the spines of the prisoners in their cells as he passed then by. If anyone were to try and pull anything on him, they'd be dead before they knew what hit them- he could move faster than the human eye could see when he wanted to. It was useful when you were involved in killing anyone, especially a country's leaders. And there were plenty of rulers waiting to be killed.
Rammon had to be ordered to follow. He had to be ordered to do everything, since having literally no emotion made him incapable of making even the smallest decisions for himself. Rafayel stuck close to his master as if he felt like he might need the vampire's protection, although from what he didn't know. He couldn't help but get the feeling that maybe some of Camazotz's children were around here somewhere lurking in the shadows, ready to jump out and do each and every member of this little group in. Although he couldn't tell by scent like his master could, Rafayel was pretty sure this Ranar guy was fully human and would be no match for even a new vampire, let alone some of the fallen clan's most powerful ones. This Silandra creature, he or she or it would have to have more tricks up their sleeve than what he had seen so far too, and even Citea who would have a fighting chance would eventually go down if more than one of the Camazotz childer attacked at once. Rammon would be toast, he wouldn' even think to figth back. And Rafayel himself? An easy target. He couldn't fight back, or atleast not without going into possibly fatal empathic shock.
Calm yourself, Rafayel. We'll be fine! the master vampire assured him, there isn't a single one of those traitors that I couldn't zombify...
It was true. Necromancy was what had created the tension between Camazotz and his fellow vampires in the first place, and it was why they were being hunted now. But fate was on their side- the thing the vampires had feared the most, that a necromancer could control them the same way they could control a zombie, worked best on vampires Camazotz had sired. And Camazotz, the founder of the Mictla vampire clan that now hunted him, had either directly or indirectly sired all of the Mictlan vampires.
