We were in the village of the Cave Clan. I was currently in my Vampire shift by the way. We were greeted with looks of confusion and scorn as we entered the Villiage. They didn't seem to want us there I sighed.
One of the Bear Beastkin came up to us. He was what appeared to be a middle-aged man he was slim but well toned. He had long black hair and a long beard too match, his eyes were pure white, and of course, his animal ears were black as well.
The other villagers were walking away pretending now not to notice our presence. "Why have you come to our village?" The man insisted.
He didn't seem to trust us, or he was just wary of visitors in general either way, I had to convince this man and his clan to help us in our battle against the Vampires.
"Well this is a bother, you don't like the fact that I'm a vampire and also that we also have a demon with us right?" I inquired
"You're correct vampires, and demons are well known for spreading destruction and chaos wherever they go. They have killed not only members of my clan, but most of the other races have suffered under those two races well." he countered.
This is annoying because his logic is sound and let's be he's sincere. No, I should say he's forthright with his statement. I now have to go through the trouble of proving my innocence. I'm not some sort evil villain after all. The best thing to do in this situation though would be going through the daunting task of proving myself through some trail or saving their village, have someone else important vouch for me, or maybe I should reveal my other shift to them.
As I was contemplating these choices which none of them appealed to me, they all seemed unlikely to work. I don't have someone to vouch for me, revealing my other shift might make them even more hostile. So I shouldn't take that chance, and as for proving myself, it's mostly a matter of time and patience which we don't currently have right now.
"Excuse me, lad, I see you're in some need of proving yourself to Mr.Chief over there mind if I step in?" One of what looked like one of the clan members said. Was he here before? I sighed its that skill. The "presence hiding" skill, I partially figured it might be here. After Sarah told me about them mostly having the Martial Arts advanced class.
He was a bear Beastkin. It seemed as if he was of the Panda Variant probably according to his two colored ears and naturally, his black and white hair. He also was quite toned underneath that black leather armor of his. He Appeared to be the same age I was on earth. He was someone we needed on our side though. I have cast off my anti-social feelings after the Incident, so I will accept his help even if I dislike it still.

"Yo lad, are you going to make me wait forever here?" he Implored looking visibly irritated, but under that facade, I could see that slight smile of his.
"Fine I give in, will you help us?" I suggested knowing well that's what he wanted to hear. Why does he call me Lad though? He is only a couple years older than this body currently is.
"Well, I was planning to butt in anyways due to their being a cute wolf girl at your party. Well then now chief as you know I have the skill to see the essence of any mortal soul right?" The man inquired.
HEY, BRAT WHO YOU CALLING CUTE. I'M THE VERY DEFINITION OF BEAUTY. Sarah exclaimed.
The Chief interrupted before Sarah could go into full rant mode. "Yeah, I fully know about your skill in that. Are you trying to tell me now that their souls are free of said thoughts or sins? I can understand how the wolf girl could be maybe, but for a Vampire and a Demon to be free of that is practically unheard of."
The mysterious Beastkin then responded "While the Demon is somewhat questionable, but their whole party does not have the seed of destruction or chaos in their souls. The Wolf girl and the Vampire here are almost completely pure. Which is abnormal in itself."
"Wait, a Vampire that is almost completely pure. While there is occasionally a Vampire that is on the Lawful side to be almost pure, you must be fucking with me right, not to mention the loudmouth girl is almost pure also?" He Puzzingly asked.
Why do I feel like I will be teased later on because of this? Especially since Lyte is giving me that smile of his again.
"Nope, not at all. The Vampire's soul seems to be of a different variety entirely." The man declared.
"Well if he has that kind of soul you're probably right then. Plus you have proved your skill by saving us from many potential threats before. Though that weird habit of yours have when you're around women is bothersome. Well then how may we help you travelers?" he now seemed sincere while asking this.
"Well then now that this dull conversation is over. We are in need of some help taking care of a certain Vampire clan. They have robbed poor Sarah here of her Family her Friends and finally at last her home. We got there after the fact, and now we seek justice against them. Also, might I add we would also like to ask if there was someone who might be willing to train my dear friend Ryu over here?" Lyte Requested.
"Hmm, a Vampire who wants take out his fellow Vampire's. Well, in all honesty, it would take a while to prepare our forces even then. They might have someone besides them that you don't currently know about so I would suggest gathering some more forces. In the meantime, I will send Clyde here with you; He would be the best suited for what you desire." The Chief insisted.
"There is one thing I would like to ask before this journey though you're a Mage right lad? I wouldn't be able to teach you my skills without you having any of the warrior's attributes which you don't seem to have any of." Clyde Questioned.
"Well about that you will be able to tell in the very beginning of tomorrow and also we had already planned on looking for more help in other villages as well," I suggested.
What does tomorrow have anything to do about it? He Implored. He looked very amused by this.
