The Tales of A Vampire

C56- Journey To Ancestral Mausoleum

Third Person's POV

As grandma Alice, Allyson, and Elliot march with their uncle, Gen. Muffy, the crowds grieve louder. They give him a salute farewell and then rifles shoot in the sky. Afterward, fireworks were showcased in the air. The coffin lifts again by a warrior to place him into his destination which the visitors, housekeepers are not allowed. The Butler, Allyson, Grandma Alice, The warrior lifters, and Elliot are only allowed.

So the guards did not let the friend of Allyson follow them. They go to the deep forest when no one could see them.

"Where are we, grandma, Elliot?" Allyson ask. Grandma Alice turns around and stares at him.

"Allyson, we are in the deep forest of our boundary." Grandma Alice says.

"Yes, grandma. I see it but why here? Is our ancestral mausoleum entrance is here?" Allyson asks curiously. Grandma Alice and Elliot look at each other before he receives an answer.

"Yes." Grandma Alice said.

"Grandma, this place is creepy," Allyson said. Looking at the surroundings.

"For humans, for us, its haven." Grandma Alice said. Allyson's brows furrowed.

"W-what do you mean by that?" Allyson asks perplexed.

"Allyson, there are so many things I want to say to you, but for now, it is really important to let your uncle into his resting peace. We will explain everything in time." Grandma Alice says and caresses Allyson:s face. Allyson understands his grandma so he nods.

"Allyson, the next destination is not an ordinary place. You should keep quiet whatever you see or hear. Just walk with us. Never ask anything or questions anything until we are not yet passed on the bridge, understand" Elliot says.

"Why?" Allyson said more curiously in his face.

"Because you will not come back here if you do so. So be a good boy. Just close your eyes whenever you feel like talking. We should not talk while not passing the bridge. The soul will get your soul, ao if you want to stay alive, mind our words to you." Grandma Alice says.

"O-ok," Allyson stammered.

"Now, let's us be ready," Grandma says.

"Remember stay quiet and continue walking," Grandma said her last reminder to them before she raise her right hand and touch the big old oak tree. The tree:s body shines brightly. The tree turns to gold and its center emerges a small light that grows big. The lights are so shone that Allyson and the warriors closed their eyes and shield their eyes with their hands. When they feel that the lights subdued, they slowly open their eyes and put down their hands.

They loom at their surrounding. They shivered in cold. The place is covered by fogs. There are creepy sounds to hear. They keep their mouth s**t as grandma Alice said to them. They follow grandma Alice leading them o. Their way. Elliot is attentive and ready for the surroundings. He is beside Allyson.

They are now seeing the creepy bridge. But they didn't see anything down because of fogs. Big golden bats with red eyes are flying above making terrifying sounds. It's hurting their ears and they feel like theirs will explode in pain. but like grandma said, continue walking. One warrior, can't bear the hurt. He writhing pain and making a sound.

"Ahhhh! It hurts!" In an instant, one bat swooped down to him and inhale his soul. They see that a white thin smoke makes its way to go the bat from the warrior's body. The bat inhaled the soul and go away. The warrior's body looks like a mummy. They got feared and looked up to where the bat go. The bats are now information-ready to attack. This time grandma Alice open the mind-link.

"I told you not to make. a sound whatever happened. Those who want to die now can follow the. dead. a warrior. Now, who wants to be the next?" Granma Alice says. This time no one speak from their mouth.

"Yes, your highness!" The warrior said in unison. Allyson was surprised that he heard her grandma in his mind. He wants to answer but he didn't know how to talk to his grandma in mind. How does she do that? He asks himself. Grandma Alice glance at him while Elliot hides his smile.

"So as you can see, we caught their attention so we should walk hurriedly this time but do not look at them, now. Again do not make any noise this time. Because they are now ready to attack in the battalion Do I make my clear?" Grandma Alice said. Everybody nods and continues to walk silently while. the bats are waiting for the sound from them.

At last! They passed the bridge and makes their way to the ancestral mausoleum. They see clouds and golden stairs. Allyson and the rest were amazed by the place. When they step to the golden stairs, it sparkling and slowly fades while they are reaching the land. It seems like an escalator in the human world. They saw a platinum arch with gold at the edge. The arch has Amethyst in the middle, Aquamarine in the right, and Carnelian in the left. Both sides have Kunzite and Danburite. The Pheonix statue of platinum with diamonds as their eyes is in the center above the arch. The golden shrubs and trees are lined up with their leaves are in different colors of what is there gemstone is. They reach the gate and they sigh in relief.

"Wait here," Grandma Alice says, stopping us to walk near the gate. She looks up to the Pheonix statue.

"Oh, Divine Pheonix, please let us into our ancestral mausoleum." She cut her palm and wave it in the air. The Pheonix eyes shine and its head looks down. The blood of my grandma Alice floats into the air and flew towards the phoenix's eyes. The eyes absorbed the blood and lost its shining. It is now ruby red. The gate shine then it's back to normal. Grandma Alice turns around to them.

"Let's go inside." She said. So they did.
