The Accidental Vampire

The Witches were in the discussion for a long time. It was even longer than Atlas had initially expected them to take.

He couldn't help but wonder just what it was that was keeping them engaged for so long. They just had to come to a decision, and ten minutes should've been enough for that.

"Lira, can you tell them to hurry up?" Atlas asked Lilith, getting impatient. "We don't have all day."

Lilith also agreed with his assumption that it was taking a long time. She decided to intervene a little to make them hurry up.

Getting tired from all the waiting, the other Progenitors were already sitting on top of the carriage, just watching the Witches bicker like children.

Atlas and Lancaster were standing together with Tyler and Vor. They had been standing since the beginning, but they were the last people who could ever feel tired just from standing. After going through so much, they had only managed to increase their stamina more.

Lilith stopped near the barrier that was fast by the Witches to stop the ones outside from being able to listen to them.

The people outside couldn't hear what was being said inside, but the people inside could easily hear what was being said outside.

"Can you all hurry up a little? You've been talking for close to an hour."

Lilith didn't force them to do anything. She just told them that they were getting late and left the rest on them.

"You have half an hour more to decide. Please come to a conclusion by then. And if there are some of you that want to do it, you are free to leave. I promise you that none of us are going to stop up, even if you decide to leave," she told the Witches. "Even without you, we could win. But if by chance we lost, it's not like you all won't be joining us in the afterlife soon after."

Through her words, Lilith once again reminded them that they weren't the only ones in trouble. The entire world was at risk, and their homes weren't going to be safe either, no matter what they did. They could either fight when they had a chance, or they could just sit back and wait for their death which was inevitable if Atlas and his side lost.

The death and Carnage that they were trying to avoid due to greed of their own life was something that couldn't be avoided, no matter what they did. So the best option at the moment for them was to fight together so they could have a better chance of victory, which could bring peace in the future for them.

Moreover, if they fought right now, they could win and then proudly claim in the future that they also participated in the war. However, if they didn't fight this time, then if Atlas won, they were going to be called cowards all their lives. And if Atlas lost, their death was inevitable.

They had benefits in fighting together, but only losses if they didn't fight this time, as the stamp of cowardice couldn't be removed, no matter what they did.

Lilith knew what could force the witches to agree. That's why she kept her words precise and straight to the point before walking back.

After a brief moment of pause, the negotiations once again began between the witches. Fortunately, this time they did keep it short by simply asking which clan didn't want to fight in this war.

Even though there were clans that were against fighting as a whole, none of them raised their hands as they didn't want to look like they were cowards. If everyone had decided to stay out after this discussion, it was better for them all, but as individual Clans, they couldn't just do as they pleased. They had to think about a lot of things.

Ultimately, it was decided that they were all going to fight together. The witches canceled the barrier before walking back to Atlas and Lilith. One after another, they all gave their confirmation that they were going to fight together with them.

Lucius and Atlan also jumped down from the roof, landing behind. "Finally, the turtles came to a conclusion. We thought you were going to take all night. You sure you don't want to take seven or eight hours more?'

The Witches could see the sarcastic tone in Atlan's words, but they chose to ignore it. They already knew just what kind of people these Progenitors were. This was nothing new. Instead, this kind of arrogance was to be expected as part of the package.

"So only a few of us will be going there? Or are you bringing someone else as well? What about the Werewolf King and the Blood Council leaders?" One of the Witch Clan leaders asked.

"If only they could join," Atlan laughed. "The Kingdom of Wolves is no more. And so is the Blood Council."

"They were killed by the Empire recently. That's why we need to stop them while we have time. If not, you'll be the next one to have the fate of the kingdom of wolves. Just like they were killed, there is a good chance that the next target could be one of you since the Franc Clan has been destroyed as well."

Lilith didn't want the witches to know just who destroyed the kingdom of wolves and the blood Council. If they found out that the Blood Council and all the others were destroyed by them, they could surely wonder just what the difference was between them and the empire, as both were keen on destroying others.

If that happened, it was going to take even longer to tell them why they did it, and then it was going to be another long session of deliberation, which could waste even more time for them.

Seeing Lilith make up a story, Atlan was quite amused. It was certainly fun watching Little liar to cover up their past.
