I rose to my knees as I watched her lift a small hand slowly up to cup Michel's cheek, a look of ancient knowledge on her face. She knew what was coming and she had accepted it. She stroked his face for a moment and then in a flash I couldn't comprehend until it was too late, she bit into her palm, whilst lifting his free hand to her face. A second flash of fangs and blood welled on his hand and then before he could stop her, she grasped the two sliced palms together, entwining her fingers in his, combining their blood. Pulling him down to her lips she whispered against his skin, "You were always my favourite. Survive at all costs."
Power swelled around them, Sanguis Vitam, but not just their own. It was ancient and carried the weight of millennia, the weight of every vampire in the world. I knew what she had done, even before she closed her eyes for the very last time, even before the power settled on my kindred's shoulders and I felt the weight of his new office through our Bond.
But it wasn't until all those Iunctio Council members in the room fell to their knees and bowed their heads, hands fisted across chests before Michel, that I gasped.
Their voices rang out in a loud proclamation, rattling the walls and thrumming through my bones. The force of their commitment, their honour, their words sinking into the very floor.
"We bow before you, Champion. Master, we are your servants evermore."
