chiseled out of the stone. Stalactites were scattered in various patterns that rose up and down, forming patterns across the ceiling. Bright torches were placed at the tip of each stalactite, causing the entire chamber to be lit in flickering candlelight. A stone path stretched into the distance from the elevator, leading to a huge building a mile away that stretched from the bottom of the chamber to the top. Buildings were lined along either side of the path which were made of wood or stone, reminding Reginald of times past. Wooden signs were placed above the door to each building, offering various services available inside. Dirt had been placed all along the bottom of the chamber, allowing carefully tended grass to grow and carpet the ground. Several trees and bushes could be found here or there that required little light.
'Well, this does sort of make me feel back at home,' Reginald thought. He took off his sneakers and carefully tied them together in a knot. Slinging them over his shoulders, he stepped off the path into the grass. It was not like the grass he used to run through as a child, but feeling the grass through his toes made him feel at ease anyways.
After a few minutes of standing in the grass, Reginald began walking down the path towards the large building.There were only two places he needed to visit, so he decided to do the easy one first. He scanned the signs above the buildings as he walked. Most of them were the same as his previous visits, but there were a few new additions. 'Our kind continues to expand,' he thought. 'It's a wonder the whole world is not vampire.'
A beautiful woman in a revealing blue dress was leaning against the wall outside of one of the larger houses. "Would you fancy a night here at the Blood Moon Inn? We serve the best Blood Ale in the country, along with pleasant company." She crossed her leg, allowing the slit along the side to reveal her pale thigh.
Reginald struggled to keep his composure. "Thanks, ma'am, but I have urgent business. I will remember your inn if the need arises in the future."
"Very, well, sir. Have a pleasant night and I hope to see you soon," she said, licking her lips.
Reginald smiled as he began to walk back along the path. 'Your services will not be required, no matter how tempting they may be.'
A couple buildings down from the inn, he found the Phoenix Pharmacy. It was not the largest building by any means, but it was one of the busiest places along the road. Reginald stood there looking up at the sign for a minute. He nodded as a couple of customers came out. 'What do I say if she's in there?' He nervously scratched his head. 'What am I saying, she's definitely in there? I just hope she isn't too mad.' Finally he overcame his worry and stepped inside.
The Phoenix Pharmacy was one of the best places in the Ottowash Requiem for vampires to get items specially made to meet their unusual needs. There were all sorts of medicines and creams to help them tolerate the sunlight better. It was also a great place to pick up easily digested foods and vitamin supplements to ensure healthy diets among the city's vampires and help keep human victims to a minimum. It was the main reason that Reginald ever visited the Requiem. He liked to stock up for several months at a time to limit his need to visit more often.
Reginald grabbed a straw basket from beside the door and walked along the first aisle. He picked up a bottle from one of the shelves. "Hmm," he muttered. 'V-max sunscreen for those with extra sensitive skin. I wonder who this was designed for,' he thought, smiling slightly. He hesitated before placing it in the basket. He hated having to rely on such items, but it was always best to be careful.
Reginald spent the next several minutes going up and down each aisle picking out various items that he had ran out of. Most were vitamin supplements or medicines that he picked out. He finished his mental list and was about to check out when he noticed several new
