the supremacy to control others . I was curious that such an item should exist , and I wished to hear all they could tell me .”
Vaistian grabbed him by his shoulders , ‘ Here it comes , I ’ m dead . Goodbye , Doniya , my love .’ But instead of striking him dead , he forced the battered boy to look at him .
“ Did they happen to call this medallion by name ?” Lord Vaistian asked .
He was stunned that his master hadn ’ t struck him yet . “ Um , I think they said Obiru … Obyru … something like that , Pendent .” He looked up in surprise at the wonder dawning on his lord ’ s face .
“ Did they say anything about it ?” Vaistian asked , shaking him roughly . “ Did they say if it had been found ?”
“ They mentioned someone called Kaizuki Kurenai having possession of it , Master . But I don ’ t know who that is .”
Vaistian laughed out loud . “ Oh , I know exactly who that is . Well , this is a strange turn of events .” He looked back at the boy . “ Tell me , how were you able to listen ? Vampires are usually quite careful about discussing such things if others are around .”
“ I am able to dim myself , My Lord . I was in the same room , but they were unable to see me or sense me .”
Vaistian stared for a moment , “ You are a talented one and are going to be most useful to me yet boy . Come , Lazarius .” Vaistian turned and walked down the alley . “ You ’ ve just saved your own life .”
