Jeffrey is excited, the battle lust heavy on his tongue. He has trouble restraining the urge to run to where the enemy will likely come from. He holds back knowing that this area is where Alana and her grandmother had prepared the most defenses. Heaven only knows just how badly they will need every ounce of protection they can get. It wouldn't hurt to have heaven's blessing on this.

Too bad the angels aren't able to interfere until the demons go after the humans. Jeffrey thinks that the demons recruiting humans to become tainted should count, but for some reason it doesn't.

Chronos and Charlene talk to the vampires that are anxiously waiting for the chance to fight. Only his best fighters are here. He just hopes that they aren't the ones that will betray him.

Suddenly he feels a pain in his chest and knows that it was the barrier spell that was breached. Jeffrey smirks, he wonders how many tainted will die for breaking that spell? He knows that Clara modified it so that it would take out many of those that would be near it. She just wasn't sure how many it would, in her words, fry, before the others would press forward.

Jeffrey snarls to himself as he catches a scent of the tainted. The putrid scent lingers on his tongue and makes him remember the loss he first had when he crossed paths with the vampire that changed him.

"Those that are close to becoming vampires are coming." Jeffrey says and a sense of euphoria comes over him at the thought of facing off against something so very similar to the monster that destroyed his life so long ago.

"That's what that is?" Chronos says and Jeffrey nods absently barely hearing and understanding his son. It's so hard to control his monster as the scent becomes stronger. Jeffrey only holds back because he knows that Alana has set some truly nasty welcoming gifts for the tainted. He doesn't want to lose any of his children because of his desire to fight.

Explosions go off some distance away yet. Jeffrey smiles in anticipation. That must have taken a chunk out of their forces. At least he hope it does. Then he no longer thinks about anything other than fighting and killing the enemy as they enter the clearing.

Soon the fighting is hot and fierce. The taste of magic mixing with the smell of blood and death. Jeffrey hasn't felt so alive in centuries. He goes from one enemy to the next. He notices that the majority of the dead are indeed the tainted and then focuses on the ten tainted that think that they are enough to take him on.

Lost in the euphoria of the fight he doesn't realize that night has fallen. It is the lack of enemies that brings him back to the present. The carnage is incredible. There is no ground that isn't covered in blood and gore if not larger parts of bodies. There are a few vampires as well, but most are humans, or what used to be human bodies.

Jeffrey snorts to himself as he imagines what the human authorities will think of this wholesale slaughter before him. Too bad, he'll never find out. If they survive he'll have Clara burn this area. If he doesn't, well then it won't matter since he'll be dead.

That makes him wonder how Alana is holding up. He hopes that she is alright and not overdoing things. He worries that she'll use too much of her own energy and exhaust herself too much to survive.

Then there was no more time to worry about Alana or any one else. His reserves show up just as the next wave of demon kin show up. Once more Jeffrey feels the euphoria come over him. He wonders where the coward prince might be.

Then he's too busy slicing up the demons with his new nifty weapon. It cuts more cleanly than any sword that he's ever used before.

He once more loses track of time, he has no idea how much time has passed before he finds the Prince. All his exhaustion seems to fall away as his long awaited enemy finally comes before him.

The Prince smiles as well, "Well, Jeffrey, I hear that you've been looking for me?"

"Hello Prince, yeah, you could say that I've been looking for you. You've been hiding your cowardly hide from me for millenia. I guess finding Alana and helping her was all that I needed to do to get you here. I didn't even have to look for you."

The Prince snarls at the mention of Alana. "I do have to thank you for sending her my way, though. She makes a lovely wife and is an incredible lover, I've never had better in all my years of life or unlife if you will."

The prince snarls then growls at Jeffrey's words. All thoughts of the taunts he had prepared about Jeffrey's human family were long gone. He charges Jeffrey rather recklessly. It takes all Jeffrey has to meet the attack and keep the prince from killing him.

Jeffrey wonders if he'll be able to save his children at this point. He felt the loss of the spells when they stopped. He figures that even the incredibly powerful witches he has helping him have limits.

Jeffrey uses some of his own abilities, but it takes energy he has  so little to spare for the spells.

Just as he about falters he feels a renewed energy pour into him as a spell is once more activated. He notices that all his vampires, or many of them at least, are refreshed by the spell energy. 

With that energy Jeffrey is able to take the prince by surprise and makes more than one critical wound. As he loses blood and energy, the prince stares at Jeffrey in shock. He falls to his knees then to the ground.

Before he loses too much of his own energy Jeffrey removes the Prince's head and burns both parts with his magic.

With the death of their master the other demons are shocked into immobility and are slaughtered where they stand by their enemy vampires.

The vampires that didn't receive strength were also killed by Chronos and those loyal to Jeffrey.

"Go, father, find mother, I have a bad feeling right now about her. I'll take care of what needs to be done. Have Clara ready to burn the bodies if she can."

"If she can't then I'll come back and do it." Jeffrey tells him as the adrenaline leaves his system he feels the drag of the super long fight.

Jeffrey nods to Charlene as he heads to the house. Alana had promised that she would fight from there, in safety. Now he just has to find out where that safety was.
