The sun appeared in the far East. The first beam of sunlight pierced through the veil of darkness.
Milla's body was still burning because of the Phosphorus. But she was already dead.
Siderius pulled the sword out of her chest and stepped back. Some of the Phosphorus got on his boots but he quickly isolated them with water then wiped them off.
Xonder died. For real this time. His body fell to the ground with his hand still reaching for Milla.
Xonder wasn't exactly a lesser vampire. He was a minion. An ancient servant of the vampire that Siderius rarely encountered. Even in his long 200 years of life, he rarely saw a true vampire minion.
Minions could survive under the sun because they weren't a vampire. They only borrowed power from their master. They had fangs and could also drink blood. Their strength and speed were enhanced.
