"Oh, looks like the Eiffel Tower has been repaired," I mused, as looked around.
Today’s the 28th of November, and I was currently in Paris along with Glenn and Dracula. I was using my Dark Skill to conjure up subtle illusions around our appearances in order to avoid being recognized. I mean, the videos I’ve posted on my social media have gone pretty damn viral, so my face is possibly one of the most recognizable in the world right now.
A few days ago, one of our double agents in Harmony informed us that Neo has disappeared. We don’t have any double agents who are particularly high ranked in Harmony, so any details beyond that would be too much to ask for, but the reason doesn’t really matter.
Because if he’s missing, regardless of the reason, it allows us to move a hell of a lot more freely. Oh, and as for why we’re in Paris right now, well...Dracula came across an old acquaintance of his on social media.
Yeah, the most famous Vampire to ever exist is now officially on social media. Anyway, he got into contact with this acquaintance of his, who eventually expressed interest in joining our side.
"So, where exactly is this guy, anyway?" I asked Dracula, as he led the way.
"Well, we are about two hundred meters away from the pin on the map he sent," He replied, showing me his screen.
Since we’ve been cooped up in hiding for a while now, he ended up getting pretty into technology and stuff. He’s also been checking out various Vampire shows and movies...he really hated the Twilight movies. And he loved Castlevania.
Anyway, as we followed the route on Dracula’s GPS app, we reached the pin, finding ourselves by a bench with a few bushes behind it.
"There’s no one here," Sighed Glenn.
"Is he running late or something? Can’t you just ask him for his current location so that we can portal there right away?" I suggested with a frown.
"No, this is supposed to be his current location, I don’t-...," Dracula began, abruptly trailing off as a figure burst out of the bushes with a yell, startling us.
"Hah, far too easy! Don’t tell me your senses have dulled after all this time, Vlad!" The figured laugher heartily, as he stepped out from behind the bushes.
He was a tall man with a wide frame, had medium length white hair with a long lock of hair falling over the corner of his right eye. He had the typical red eyes that all Vampires do, and his expression was carefree and cheerful, but...I don’t know, something about it seemed kinda fake.
Also, his outfit is super colorful, and yet somehow still came off more as elegant instead of tacky. Gotta say, he makes quite the first impression, he’s so...flashy.
"I would certainly hope not. I must say, it is quite strange to see you without your twirly mustache. So, what name do you go by these days?" Responded Dracula with a wry smile.
"Ah, well legally speaking, I am currently known as Pierre Laurent, I simply choose some of the most common names here in France, in order to avoid standing out," He shrugged in response.
Uh, he wants to avoid standing out while dressed so flashily?
"I see," Nodded Dracula, before turning to Glenn and I, "Allow me to introduce you, he is the most powerful Vampire after me, and I can say with confidence that he has the most brilliant, if not highly eccentric, mind of any Vampire.
Through history, his most well-known title is Comte de Saint Germain, or Count Saint Germain. He’s also known by other names like Chevalier Schoening, Count Weldon, Comte Soltikoff, Graf Tzarogy, and Prinz Ragoczy."
Woah, seriously? THE Count Saint Germain?
"Ohh, how flattering, to think that you would remember so many of my old monikers," He grinned with a laugh.
"These two are my allies from the organization known as Chaos. She is the leader, Liling Jin, better known as Anarchy. And this one is Glenn, er...Maxwell?" Frowned Dracula uncertainly.
"That’s a cricket player. My name’s Glenn Clarke," He sighed in exasperation.
"Really? Are you sure it was Clarke?" Responded Dracula skeptically.
"...yes. It’s my name, I wouldn’t forget that," He shook his head indignantly.
"Hm, if you say so. Ahem, so as I was saying, this is Glenn Clarke...apparently. A vital member of the organization, one of only two advanced portal users among mortals."
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance," Smiled Count Saint Germain with a graceful bow.
"Uh, yeah, nice to meet you too," I nodded awkwardly.
Yeah, I’m not too great with being all elegant or graceful or whatever, so I’m not gonna try. I’ll probably only end up embarrassing myself.
"What she said," Added Glenn.
"Now, then, let’s get to the matter at hand. Will you join us?" Inquired Dracula, cutting right to the chase.
"Yes, I think I will. I pondered it for a while, and decided that it could be an ideal way to alleviate my boredom. I have lived peacefully for several decades now, and...I am dreadfully bored! And amidst all the drastic changes occurring across the world and the promise of true mayhem on the horizon, I cannot help but crave to be involved," Came the response, a dark smirk on his face as his eyes gleamed with a sadistic look in them.
Woah, talk about a shift in attitude, that gave me chills! Ohh, after seeing that, I’m even more stoked now that he’s joining our side...

Point-of-View: Satan

"Tell me, how are the preparations for the invasion of the living world coming along?" I inquired with a yawn.
"I would say that we are about two thirds of the way done with assembling our army," Replied Lucifer, as he bowed before me.
"Hm, not bad, I suppose. I myself am about eighty percent done with the preparations to open a bridge between Hell and the living world. A few more weeks should suffice," I estimated with a shrug.
"My Lord, what are the specifics of the invasion plan?" Asked Beelzebub curiously.
"Oh, nothing fancy. First, the weakest of our army, the Lesser Devils, will invade and attack the humans, led by the Superior Devils. Once they have dealt adequate damage, they will fall back and regroup.
That will be when the Demons will enter the fray. They will be divided into seven groups, each led by one of you Demons of Sin. You will be the commanders of each group, which will also include the remaining Devils.
Additionally, each group will have one to two vice-commanders, which will consist of the members of the Thirteen Fiends, the group second to only you Demons of Sin in terms of power. Two of them will be assigned to six of you, with the exception of Lucifer, who will be assigned one.
However, to make up for it, I will assign the strongest of the Thirteen Fiends to your group...Fiend Alpha, Nazi King Hitler."
"Wha-...m-my Lord, I acknowledge his power and ability, h-however, I...I do not like him," Frowned Lucifer apprehensively, a look of alarm in his eyes.
"I’ve already made my decision. Now, then...let’s go over the foes whom we should be most wary of. The Elemental Dragon Deities and Rival Elemental Deities have always been our most troublesome enemies in the living world, however, there are others we should take care not to underestimate.
There are a handful of humans that could pose a threat to us...make sure to kill them before they have the chance to kill you. And this time, make sure that every last Deity is killed. We’ve failed to do so previously due to Heaven intervening and joining forces with them.
But this time, it will be different. Given how many humans have been killed recently, Heaven will have their hands tied for a while dealing with that. By the time Heaven can intervene, all genuine threats in the living world must be dealt with. Including the members of Chaos, they are far too unpredictable to trust as allies. Once the Deities and the other threats are dealt with, we shall turn on Chaos and crush them.
And then, we crush Heaven, kill God and every last Angel and Archangel...by the end, our forces will be all that remain. Hell, the living world, and Heaven...all three will be under my rule.
And finally, as for when we will begin the invasion...midnight, on the 1st of January. At the very start of the new year in the living world...the beginning of their end will commence," I declared with a smirk, a sense of anticipation and excitement rising inside me-...
"Er, which country’s time zone, my Lord?" Inquired Lucifer in response.
...did he really have to put such a damper on my excitement?
