Seain sighed, “Just thinking about how humans perceive us. It’s frustrating to be seen as monsters when we’re just trying to live our lives like everyone else.”

Niles nodded in agreement. “I know what you mean. But we can’t change the way humans think overnight. It’s going to take time and effort to change their perception of us.”

Seain looked at his brother, feeling a sense of gratitude for having him by his side. “Yeah, you’re right. We just have to keep trying and hope that one day they’ll see us for who we are.”

Niles patted Seain on the back. “We’ll get there, brother. We just have to keep fighting for it.”

With those words of encouragement, Seain felt a renewed sense of hope. They may be seen as monsters now, but with time and effort, they could change the way humans perceived them.

Niles nodded in agreement. “I know, it’s frustrating. But we can’t change their perceptions of us overnight. It’s going to take time and effort to show them we’re not the monsters they think we are.”

Seain sighed. “I know, but it’s just so unfair. We’ve done everything we can to keep the peace and protect the villagers. Yet they still spread lies and rumors about us.”

Niles put a comforting hand on his brother’s shoulder. “I know it’s hard, but we can’t let their ignorance get to us. We have a duty to our clan, and we need to stay strong for them.”

Seain nodded, feeling a sense of determination. “You’re right. We can’t let them bring us down. We’ll just have to keep proving them wrong and showing them who we are.”

With that, the brothers settled into a comfortable silence, lost in their thoughts about how to improve their clan’s relationship with the villagers.

Niles and Seain brought up their concerns to the clan leaders about the unethical and misleading tours being conducted by the villagers. They believed the leaders needed to know the truth about how the humans were portraying them and their homes.

After explaining the situation, the news troubled the leaders and recognized that this could potentially put the clan in danger. They agreed to take action and come up with a plan to address the issue.

The leaders listened intently as Seain and Niles recounted their experience with the tour guides and the tourists. As they finished speaking, there was a long moment of silence as the leaders considered what they had just heard.

Finally, one leader spoke up. “This is unacceptable. We cannot let these humans continue to profit off of lies and fear. It’s time we take action.”

The other leaders nodded in agreement, and they discussed their options. After some debate, they sent a group of scouts to the village to gather more information and to put a stop to the tours.

Seain and Niles volunteered to lead the group of scouts, eager to protect their clan and their home.

The next morning, the group set out for the village. As they walked, Seain and Niles felt a sense of determination, knowing that they were fighting for their family and their way of life. They were ready to do whatever it takes to stop the humans from spreading lies and fear about their clan.

The group braved the river’s strong current and head towards the village, where they planned to reconvene at the same inn they had stayed at to discuss their strategy.

As they made their way through the dense forest, the group discussed their plan. Niles and Seain explained to the others about the tours being conducted by the villagers and how they were spreading false information about the castle and the clan.

“I say we confront them!” exclaimed one vampire in the group, a young woman with fiery red hair.

“I’m not sure that’s the best idea,” replied Seain. “We don’t want to cause a scene or draw too much attention to ourselves.”

Niles chimed in, “Maybe we can come up with a more subtle approach. Perhaps we can discredit their claims, causing no trouble.”

The group arrived at the inn and settled in to discuss their plan further. They knew they needed to act fast before the false rumors spread any further.

Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. Niles went to answer it and found two villagers standing outside.

“Can I help you?” Niles asked, trying to keep his tone civil.

“We heard that you’re interested in learning more about the castle and the vampires,” said one villager.

Niles and Seain exchanged a look. They knew that this was their chance to get more information about the tours and the rumors being spread.

“We are interested,” replied Niles. “Can you tell us more?”

The villagers launched into their sales pitch, but Niles and Seain were careful to note everything they said. They made mental notes of the false claims being made and the areas of the castle that were being evaded.
