3RD person pov:
The group had gone through the sewer system where they found a tunnel and were met with a brick wall and walked through and were met with what seemed to be a market square. Damian marveled at the sight of the vendors selling costumes, blood packets and weapons. It looked like the vampires had built a whole underground city.
“Welcome, to the Undercity Damian!” Erica enthusiastically announced
“So how do the vampires make profit here, do you have some kind of personal currency or something?” Damian then decided to ask.
Fred answered “Well… We used both normal currency and our own called V- dollars, they have the exact same value so you can just exchange at the bank. We have the normal human jobs and the vampire jobs that normal humans can’t do like getting blood and assassination, and whatever a person requests. So quite similar to the humans. Anyway let me introduce you to our neighborhood so you know where to find us, were all roommates anyway.”
They arrived at a nice looking house and made themselves at home, “Nice place you got here” Damian commented. “Why thank you, we all pitched in to buy it.” Mader stated. “Well then since you’ve seen where we live we can be on our way. Let’s just switch contact info, I wanna just sleep now.” “Do vampires even need sleep?” Damian asked. “Not really, see there are certain activities that vampires do that vampires do that makes us tired, but otherwise were perfectly fine for the most part, Sam is just extremely lazy.” Fred answered slightly laughing.
And after exchanging contact details Damian left their house and started making his way through the underground streets, until he walked past building with a sign that read ‘Fighters of the night’, it appeared to be a dojo, and wanting to improve his fighting skills he stepped inside.
He was met with two young vampires sparring on a mat using different fighting styles. He walked past them and towards an older looking vampire and asked Michael a question.

‘Do I age as a vampire?’
‘Yes but not physically. You can alter your age but only between the age you were turned and your actual age but most don’t because age is a sign of power to vampires.’
So with his questions answered he went to the man and requested to join the dojo.
“You see here at fighters of the night we teach our students to develop their own fighting style based on how they fight. We study their raw movements and teach them moves based on how they naturally fight and their body shape to create a diverse fighting style specific to them, this is something you need to know before you join our dojo, so are you sure you want to join us?”
“Yes.” Damian answered. He was sure this would be good for him.
“Well then let us spar first so I can study your fighting style.”
They walked to the center of the mat where the other vampires had fought. They both assumed fighting styles and as the match started Damian had attacked the sensei, using all his natural fighting skills and even his blood strengthening at certain points so that he could have a clear understanding of how he fought. The teacher was dodging and blocking him perfectly, this was going on for a few minutes until he said “I have an understanding of how you attack, so I need a to grasp how you defend.” And suddenly punched Damian in the face knocking him over, He rolled to the side to get up and suddenly met himself with the attacks of the sensei, He dodged a kick and swept aside a punch so that he could deliver a blood powered kick to the side which felt like hitting a metal wall. Then he blocked a few of the attacks he was confident he could and they were both caught in a rhythm of attacking and defending until the sensei put an end to the match.
“You have a very strong fighting style and I have already taken note of some martial arts that fit your fighting style. You will be learning these arts and we hope that you will be able to combine them and make them your own. I welcome you as an official student of the ‘fighters of the night’ dojo!” He announced. He gave him a list of some martial arts and showed Damian a timetable of his classes which would be held at night. They weren’t everyday which he was thankful for, and was told that he could ask to adjust the class if there were any problems.
And with all that information he left the Undercity and went back home. It was still late in the night and he had school in the morning. I am going to be very busy going forth. But it’s all for the best, for the sake of going stronger.’ And with that thought Damian left the underground city and Made his way home.
