Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess 2
Valeska made me some recommendations as she accompanied me to the edge of the lake.
    “When you get there, tell Odik who you are . Surely he will help you,” she told me and held my hand strongly, conveying confidence and courage for me to move on. It was all I needed in that moment.
    “Good luck!”  She smiled. “All will be fine.”
    I wanted to believe all would be fine, but something deep inside me said otherwise.

When she released my hands, I left her and then I walked toward the forest of dry trees. I disappeared into its midst. I was far from the castle and away from everyone.
    I could see huge brown trunks.
    I was not sure if I was on the correct track.
    I could use my vampire powers to reach the site quickly and without having to go through so many difficulties, but I was afraid to spend them unnecessarily in case I might need them later and they would not work.
    To use the vampire powers requires much of us . It is a mental and physical strain.
    I walked across the forest until I saw the huge rock, with various tips. One was the most pointed and in there lived the sorcerer.
    I felt a relief when I saw I was close and I was about to come before Odik. I was hoping he could really help me.

I climbed the rocks with no difficulty, so I turned into a black panther and arrived at the desired location . Soon I turned back into my human form.
    From a height, I looked down and saw I was at an incalculable altitude.
    I stepped on a flat stone. It was the territory of Odik. I was in the surroundings of his home.
    I looked everywhere and saw no dog around, maybe they were hunting or sleeping...
    His hiding-place was a cave. There was an entrance, a hole in the shape of a giant egg. Looking from the outside I could see inside. It was dark and silent.
    I went into the hole and saw a corridor inside the rocks.
    Several rats were on the ground and bats flying down from the ceiling. They didn’t scare me since I was familiar with them now. My footsteps made no noise. I took care not to draw the attention of his dogs as I did not know if they were around.

My concern was only with them. As for the sorcerer Odik, I should not fear him. Valeska had told me not to.
    Inadvertently, I stumbled on a huge rock. I fell down with my face on the ground. My body hitting the surface made noise enough to scare the dogs.
    Then I raised my head up when I heard scary roars. I saw two dogs in front of me . They were watching me and ready to attack me. They were horrible and deformed.
    They looked like monsters in the form of dogs. Changing their color, they were black and gray at the same time.
    Both advanced on me while I defended myself moving my arms to my face. They sought to find a way to sink their hard teeth into my skin. I rolled from one side to the other and then they were above me.
    A radiant energy in sky blue color came out of my body . I put it up and the two dogs were thrown away from me. Both of them were unconscious.

I had to use my vampire powers.
    Forward.
    I saw a creature in a dark hood. His hood was covering his face. This creature was standing away from me. My presence was bothering him. His expression was not a greeting of welcome. I could see his state of mind.
    What Valeska had described did not fit with his reality. It was not like I had imagined.
    “Who are you?” he asked me as he was still quite a distance from me.
    “I am Valkyrie ,” I answered motionless.
    “What are you doing here?” He insisted.
    “I need your help.”
    “My help?” he asked astounded.
    “You need to hear me ,” I said, my voice was begging.
    “I do not allow strangers here! And you put my dogs to sleep!”

“They wanted to devour me!” I explained.
     
    “Go back to where you came from! I cannot help you!” He shouted impatiently at me.
    “Not even when you know who se daughter I am?” I asked.
    The sorcerer stared at me questioning my face.
    “What are you saying?” he asked curious and his eyes ran through my
