The pier of Riften is always dangerous, especially during nighttime. If not an Argonian Skooma-driven thug jumping off the water to strip you of your belongings, it would either be cutthroats or worse nightmares.
But never a Vampire.
Yet this scene didn't start with a vampire wreaking havoc, it starts with a pair of eyes that reflect the scenes of the bloodshed left in the wake of those bloodsuckers. A dreadful scene was for all the freaks of the Rift to back off the docks just by the stench overflowing through the air.
All but one.
"Who are you?" Asked a voice as it just came almost from everywhere, the voice caused the vampires to be on alert as they thought they heard it but it was too faint to be directed to them.
"Yes, you! I am talking to you." The voice said again drawing closer but almost from everywhere.
"Who's there?!" Asked Beitild, the Nord Vampire who held a large battleaxe.
Including her, there were only four vampires standing guard at the pier as the rest of the vampires seemed to be doing their business elsewhere. These four seemed to have suddenly become restless when an individual they couldn't recognize showed itself in a place where sight can't reach.
"Ennodius, Lurbuk!" Beitild called as she commanded another two vampires who were an Imperial and an Orc, "Look around."
The situation seemed suddenly becoming stranger as the voice started to emerge once again.
"It seems that the four of you still want to play. Fine! What game do you prefer? Hide and Seek?" The voice spoke once again, much closer this time, and made childish laughs.
It said a dangerous detail that there were four of them referring to the fourth vampire that was hiding underwater. Beitild wanted to call out Serana immediately since the opponent seemed someone beyond their ability but the moment she turned around, she couldn't find the entrance to the building she was guarding.
"What the…" Beitild's throat became dry but in the next second, the air started to become foggy and Lake Henrich was not visible as it was just a few seconds ago.
The fog started to become heavier and the vertical scale of view was getting reduced faster and faster.
"Illusions! Filthy Magic!" Beitild roared as she waved her axe with vigor but the fog only got heavier and all the sounds in the world started to die down.
As a newly transformed vampire, Beitild's power should be wild and explosive but all that uncontrollable power made her feel like she was swimming in heavy water and barely able to move a limb.
That feeling… It is exactly the same thing she feels under the gaze of Serana. Whenever her lady is displeased, things tend to feel like this.
But somehow, this feeling was caused by a different person and unlike Serana, that person seemed to be hostile.
"Ennodius… Lurbuk… Deekus…" Beitild called the three but as she took a few steps around where she stood, she stumbled upon one of them lying on the ground.
It was the Argonian Deekus and he was knocked out with his tongue dangling as if he was punched with tremendous power. What followed this discovery with two thuds as the other two hounds were knocked out the same way.
"Shit!"
Beitild knew that she was completely outmatched with no chance to retort and at that moment, a fist flew towards her face. As the fist drew closer, Beitild's flow started to change its direction as she suddenly started to take distance from the coming fist but she wasn't the one doing the evasion.
Rather, she was pulled back by someone and the sound of a swoosh passed by her ears then she could hear a loud metallic sound not too far.
The situation stayed quiet for a second before the fog started to go away.
The scene was just as it was before the intrusion of the owner of that voice. What changed was that an arrow was resting deep into a fire brazier that used to illuminate some part of the pier but now its content was all spilled into the water.
"Show yourself." Serana finally spoke, she was of course the one who had rescued Beitild just a second ago.
"I am right here, Miss Vampire." Yet the reply she wasn't really anticipating came so cheekily and casually.
Another swoosh was heard and an arrow rushed towards the origin of that voice.
The owner of such a nice voice is clearly a woman who revealed herself not too far from where Serana was. She was wearing a cloak as any suspicious person would and her face was half-hidden under a hood.
The arrow that flew towards her hit its target splendidly just in the middle of her chest through the opening of the cloak. This clearly spoke for the exquisite skill of the archer but that was far from the end of the story.
The arrow may have found its target but whether it landed or not is up to debate since the arrow was completely swallowed under the cloak and disappeared.
Serana frowned as she couldn't anticipate that at all neither sensed any hint of magic. Something is greatly amiss.
"Splendid shot!" The suspicious woman praised, "It is only proper for me to return it, I may say."
What was seen next was the arrow that was fired against the woman flying back from her towards its origin. She didn't even move a limb or show a hint of movement.
But the arrow flew out at an extreme precision. It couldn't just be done with Magic.
"HOLD!" Serana tried to fire a fast spell at the arrow but it broke free from her command and found its target, an archer hiding on the roof of the warehouse.
"ARGH!" The archer was hit and knocked off the roof into the lake.
"GET HER!" Serana couldn't withstand the anger of seeing five of her subordinates being toyed with.
From the Warehouse's entrance behind her, Six shadows sprung forth with a strong aura way beyond the four that were taken down. Those seven rushed from all directions at the suspicious woman.
"Now you're taking me seriously?" The woman showed a smile then her Aura exploded in a rapid and wild form.
The tranquil and quiet domineer she put on all that time was simply exploding with insanity and craziness as her cloak exploded into fabrics and her appearance was exposed.
Jullanar!
Golden Eye, Violet Eye, Sweet Smile! Exactly as her half violet half golden aura look. The evolution of Jon's Aura of Madness, the Crazy Wild Aura that she perfected. A Sweet but truly Psycho.
Once the Vampires got to her, they were akin to moths to a flame. She punched the first so hard that his neck was almost torn but remained severely broken. The second was stomped on her face and pushed back so hard that her back snapped. The third was a Khajiit and he was met with her knee on his face completely crushing all his features. The fourth was attempting to stay at some distance and cast a spell but Jullanar was right in front of him digging her index and middle fingers into his eye sockets. The fifth and the sixth were a pair of Nord and Redguard warriors holding great weapons but they were suddenly twisting the wrong way and injuring each other just as they got behind Jullanar and attempted to hit her, the reason was obviously the hidden confusion effect of her Aura.
Six strong vampires, six piles of sorry failures, up to a total of eleven vampires defeated by Jullanar alone in the span of ten seconds.
"Miss Vampire! You still took me too light…" Jullanar was about to turn towards Serana but the latter was already at a point-blank range from her trying to grapple Jullanar by her neck.
"Shoot!"
Jullanar was surely surprised as Serana spread out two wings and completely transformed into her Vampire Lord form.
No matter how it looked, Serana completely pushed Jullanar out of the pier all the way through lake Henrich and flew half a mile at an unstoppable speed trying to crush Jullanar on every tree and boulder in the way.
From where they stood, an Elderly Nord Vampire woman stood watching this scene as she walked last from the warehouse and watched the destruction laid to the place.
"Goddamn Morons! Someone has to clean up this mess, you know! All you fighting types are eager to kill each other! Oblivion takes you all."
The woman kept cursing as she took out a staff from her cloak and kept gathering around the injured vampires by magic before putting them together in a line and then activating a portal.
"I'll finally be going home anyway! Works for old me!" She said so and shoved all the vampires through the portal before following them through.
In a place far away, Jullanar stood over Serana and held up a large tree trunk.
"Stake to the Heart! Stake to the Heart! Stake to the Heart! Stake to the Heart! Stake to the Heart! Stake to the Heart! Stake to the Heart!"
Each time she says that, she would smite Serana down with the tree trunk to the point where she formed a pit with all the bounding.
Serana wasn't particularly damaged from that but with the tremendous power which Jullanar exerted, it was almost unbelievable that she was fighting a mortal. It is as if she was fighting…
"Oh hey, Jon!"
And all of a sudden, Jullanar stopped bounding the trunk against Serana and threw it away as she put two fingers against her right temple and pointed the left one up saying "hold on a second" for Serana.
"Ah, yes yes… just hunting some vampires for your Dawnguard friends… Yes, this is the 134th… Go back? But why? I just… Fine… will this be enough of a lesson?... I'll keep an eye on the Solitude situation… Whatever you say… love you, bye!"
Jullanar was done with Jon's telepathic call and turned to Serana.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, my husband needs me somewhere else. Bye!"
Serana was already frozen the moment she heard the name of Jon but linking all the dots together, she felt like that everything around her was simply suffocating.
A woman this powerful, Jon's call, Dawnguard friends, teaching a lesson, and the Solitude situation… Was Jon sending her a message just now?
Was he watching? Has he known everything all along? He wasn't actually letting her go?
She was too naive to think that for a second she became free! She was impatient and acted too fast!
She watched Jullanar dust off her clothes and was about to walk away so she stood up as well.
"Hey… You… Wait!"
Serana stood up and gazed hatefully at Jullanar.
"Tell him… tell him I do things my own way and… he must count me out of his crazy plans… but I'll honor the last deal and that's it!"
Serana spoke those words with anger and activated a magic ring on her finger. A portal opened beneath her feet and she suddenly fell into it leaving Jullanar frowning at her.
"What in Sheo's name? She crazy or something?"
Jullanar never really knew who Serana is but Psycho just pushed Jon's plans back to their right tracks.
