It was late at night, though not yet midnight. Moonlight bathed the open-air balcony of the mansion in a soft silver glow.
Ella, Gaim, Liza, and Emilia waited for Esma. Tania had already prepared everything Ella would need for the ritual.
When Esma finally arrived, Ella gave her one final warning. “You are certain? Once this is done, there is no turning back.”
“I am certain, my lady,” Esma replied with unwavering determination.
“Then drink.” Ella handed her the crystal goblet filled with red wine mixed with her own potent vampiric blood.
Esma drank deeply.
Minutes later, her breathing grew heavy. Sweat poured down her athletic body as she dropped to her knees, trembling violently. A raw scream of pain tore from her throat before she collapsed, unconscious.
Gaim stood ready to restrain her if necessary.
A minute passed.
Suddenly, Esma’s eyes snapped open. She bared long, sharp fangs, breathing heavily with bloodshot eyes. Though clearly struggling with overwhelming thirst and aggression, she remained in a kneeling position and did not lunge at anyone.
Ella approached slowly and offered her a second goblet — this one filled with animal blood wine.
Esma’s hands trembled as she took it and drank greedily. Gradually, her breathing steadied. Her body calmed. Her eyes returned to normal, and her fangs retracted until they were only slightly longer than a human’s.
Esma looked up at Ella and smiled weakly. Ella returned the smile. Though successful, Esma appeared utterly exhausted, as if she had run a marathon.
Liza and Emilia gently helped the new daywalker to her room, with Tania following behind carrying a bottle of animal blood wine.

The next night, beneath a bright moon, Ella, Gaim, Esma, and Emilia arrived at a hill overlooking Townlord Navine’s manor. The location was close enough to observe clearly, yet far enough to remain undetected.
Ella, Gaim, and Esma would handle the main operation, while Emilia provided long-range support with her revolver from the hill.
Navine, Townlord of Vanis, was a prime suspect among the vampire nobles. Spy reports indicated mysterious carriages and caravans frequently arrived at his estate at midnight. Crates were unloaded and carried into the cellar, and Navine himself had been seen inspecting bottles of what appeared to be red wine.
He was likely both a client and a distributor of the Red Moon syndicate’s human blood wine.
The only way to confirm was to get within twenty paces — close enough for their enhanced vampiric senses to detect the truth.
Through her monocular, Ella watched a caravan and several carriages approach the manor. When they finished unloading the crates and Navine retreated inside, the group sprang into action.
Gaim slipped away silently to follow the departing caravan and locate their base. Meanwhile, Esma — armed with a Mithrisil dagger borrowed from Liza — stealthily infiltrated the estate from the rear and disabled the guards.
Ella and Esma then made their way to the cellar. The moment they entered, the unmistakable metallic scent of human blood assaulted their senses. The crates were filled with bottles of blood wine — human blood wine.
They emerged and gave Emilia the confirmation signal from the hill.
Without wasting another second, Ella and Esma charged into the manor. Navine’s scent confirmed he was indeed a vampire. When he tried to escape through a window using his vampiric speed, a single deafening shot rang out — Emilia’s revolver bullet struck him squarely in the chest, the silver coating burning through his flesh.
Before he could recover, Ella blurred forward with blinding speed and decapitated him cleanly with her Mithrisil katana.
The three women then waited for Gaim’s return, hoping he would bring the location of yet another Red Moon base.
~•~•~•~
The moonlight still bathed the land in its silvery glow. Though the clock claimed morning had arrived, the world remained cloaked in darkness, with no trace of sunlight yet.
After several tense hours of waiting, Gaim finally emerged from the shadows.
“The base is a cave hidden deep within the woods,” he reported. “There are many of them inside — Red Moon members, both vampires and humans.”
“What about their leader, Eric?” Ella asked.
“I did not see him. My view into the cave was limited, so I cannot be certain whether he is present,” Gaim replied.
“There are only three hours until sunrise,” Esma noted. “Should we attack them during the day?”
“It would make little difference,” Ella said calmly. “Sunlight will not reach inside the cave. It would be no different from fighting them at night.”
A heavy silence fell over the group.
“We should return to the estate first and devise a proper strategy,” Ella decided.
“Agreed,” Gaim nodded. “We cannot afford to attack blindly.”
They returned to the Esklair estate under the cover of lingering darkness.
~•~•~•~
By the time they arrived, the sun had risen, bathing the estate in bright morning light.
After cleaning themselves and taking a short rest, Ella, Gaim, Esma, and Emilia gathered in the meeting room along with Kane and Liza.
Except for Gaim and Kane, all the women were completely naked. Ella, Esma, Emilia, and Liza displayed their gorgeous bodies without shame. Their full, soft breasts swayed and jiggled enticingly with every movement, rosy nipples stiff in the cool air. Their smooth, plump pussies were fully exposed — pink folds glistening subtly as they shifted in their seats.
“My lady, the blacksmith has delivered the Mithrisil spear,” Kane announced, carefully removing the weapon from its wooden case.
“Good. Esma, this is yours,” Ella said.
“Thank you, my lady,” Esma replied, her eyes shining with excitement as she took the spear.
“The handle is crafted from pure mithril, while the blade is Mithrisil,” Kane explained. “The length is sufficient to decapitate a vampire in a single strike.”
“I like it,” Esma said, gripping the weapon with clear satisfaction.
“Excellent. Now, let us return to planning,” Ella said, crossing one long leg over the other. The motion caused her slick pussy lips to part slightly, revealing the delicate pink interior.
“We will launch the operation at sunset,” she continued. “Emilia will provide long-range support with her revolver from a safe position, with Liza guarding her.”
Liza and Emilia nodded in agreement.
“Gaim, Esma, and I will enter the cave and eliminate the Red Moon vampires, along with any human collaborators. They are all criminals who have spilled innocent blood.”
Gaim and Esma nodded firmly.
“Good. We depart immediately,” Ella commanded.
Kane swiftly arranged a motor carriage, and the group set off once more toward the hidden Red Moon base deep within the forest.
