Lazarus and Astra sat inside her room.
The place they were in was an estate Astra owned that was in an unknown location that filled to the brim with mana. Astra gave everyone their own rooms to sleep in and from what Lazarus has seen there aren't many servants around since he hasn't seen any walking around.
"So, what's the conditions of our deal you want to make? You said you'd revive Felicia but how exactly are you going to that?
Cause we don't need a sentient undead. We punish the living." She finished whilst moving closer to the edge of her bed.
Lazarus rubbed the cubs furr as it let out low purrs of subtle enjoyment. "Before I tell you, I need your word you won't tell anyone."
He stared at her, his eyes showing no ulterior motives. Astra performed a small hand gesture and a translucent barrier was created around the room.
"I swear on my title as the spatial witch, and as the daughter of the Witch queen, I wont tell another soul of what you tell me." She finished as she allowed Lazarus to speak.
"Okay. Thanks again, so i have the ability to heal others and a form of soul manipulation. So I plan to restore Felicia's body to it's original state and I can transfer her soul inside her body."
"And how exactly do you have these abilities, if I may ask?" She offer a question.
"Vampire compatability?" he said as shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, but I'll still need something else from you, if you remember when we were inside the factory...right?" She questioned as she got of the bed and approached.
Lazarus could sense what she was getting at so he telepathically communicate with his little chimera cub. 'Hay little one could you please leave us for a bit?"
The cub looked up with it's big round eyes trying to convince Lazarus to let him stay.
Lazarus had to use a level of will power rivaling the the strength of the hulk not to give in. 'I promise I'll make you sweet treats when she's done doing what she's going to do.'
The cub let out a small meow indicating it's reluctance,but set relented as it disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Aww, boo." Astra exclamed with a small pout on her lips.
"But this is better, we shouldn't be doing naughty things infront of kids no, right?" She questioned in a joking yet sultry tone as she slowly walked behind Lazarus and gently placed her arms around his neck.
"Your blood definitely has greater properties inside it. Probably rival that of an elder, but most vampire blood is used for rejuvenation potions or spells so what does your's have to offer?" She questioned as she began to caress his body.
Lazarus didn't stop as he finally spoke. "Well, aside those my blood could probably help you guys gain minor for of immunity to divine based abilities, as those are a hard counter to your magical ones." He said as his hair turned red and his eyes darkened.
Lazarus cut open his wrist and his blood began to levitate out of his body and gather into a ball. "And if done correctly you could probably bring someone from the dead with no repercussions on the person you want to revive or yourself." He finished as he sent the ball of blood towards Astra, who looked at it with a hint curiosity.
"How do I know your not lying to me?"
"Do I have a reason to lie?"
"Yes, to a degree, but knowing your character your not the type to lie to someone."
Astra finished as she summoned a container the side of a whisky bottle and Lazarus manipulated it into the bottle.
"Pleasure doing business with you." Astra said as she planted a small kiss on Lazarus cheek. She immediately teleported back to her bed.
Lazarus smiled as he got up to walk out. "Thank you and likewise." Lazarus disappeared in a cloud of smoke leaving Astra in a room of silence.
"Haaa, he's quite the charmer, I seriously wonder why you broke up with him Monica."
She finished as she lay on the bed her eyes on her sealing. As she began chanting something under her breath. "Sis, I need you to stop by my place, I found someone from the book of condemned witchs, and bring big sis Ophelia aswell."

Back in the factory
Multiple officers were walking around the building, moving around the destroyed areas.
Officer Randle and Dennis were walking around with a few noticeable bruises across their faces and some underneath their clothing.
Officer Dennis spoke to his partner as the walked around with flashlight. "Today is not out lucky day is it?" He said in a joking manner trying to lighten the mood.
Randle smiled back and retorted. "Yeah, thought we were just going to arrest some kid who was a suspect for killing some rich guys son but now we had to deal with an explosion, our former coworker turning against us, and to top that Officer Nova has vanished and this was her last location."
The two finally felt their heads hang down as the both let out twin sighs.
Forget that! Let's not focus on the negatives right now!" Officer Denise said as he stood up.
"Excuse me sir." The voice of a male officer spoke.
"What is it lad?" Officer Denise inquired.
"We found the body of a man inside one of the rooms, but he doesn't have a pulse."
Randle and Dennis immediately rushed towards the room the officer told them about.
They rushed in and what they found was bizarre.
As the room was empty of any furniture, asid a flat rectangular table with dark markings and inscriptions along the walls and floor.
Then they saw the body of the man.
He looked to be aound his 30's with rough pale skin. A full beard and long black hair.
His body was nude aside a cloth to cover his modesty.
Their were what seemed to be ritualistic markings along the body of an unknown culture.
"Randle do you see this shit?"
"Yeah, what the fuck was going on here?"
"Would you like to find out." An unknown raspy voice inquired, which cause the 2 to jump out of their skin as they turned around but saw no one.
However they noticed the markings along the walls began to glow as the body of the man began to rise, and the raspy voice left the man's mouth.
"Good day sirs... my...name...is Haymen what may yours be?"
