Part 41. Let the duel begin. It was a bright and sunny Sunday as noon quickly approached. Not Helt’s favourite weather or time of day. The hill behind the amphitheater was mostly empty, a grassy mound with only a few trees. There would be no avoiding the sunlight in today’s duel. Fortunately he was not the kind of vampire who burst into flames. Any exposed skin would suffer a painful sunburn fast and be slow to heal. Sunblock helped avoid the burn, but the light would sap his strength the longer he was out in it. Under a tree sat Professor Marry Alisa Dellumph, who would be the referee for the duel. An older woman, dressed in Victorian style, she had a butler and tea table with her. To her left was Helt and his supporters. To her right was Natilla and her allies. A group of a dozen spectators stood behind her. After the butler whispered in the Prof’s ear, she stood up and said “There time is here. Will the conflicting students step forward?” Helt and Nat...
Part 34. Lets have Lunch. “This is the women’s dorm, you should not be here.” Serena said in a quiet tone as the tall German sat down at the table. It was Saturday, lunchtime. None of the other women in the dining area seemed to pay any attention to the intruder. “How was last night?” Emma asked, noticing that Helt was still in the same set of clothes. “We can talk outside, if you like.” He suggested. Having just sat down to eat, neither woman wanted to abandon the table just yet. “Did something important happen last night?” the small Filipino asked. “There was some trouble. Id like your help to, ah, clear up a mystery.” He explained in a rather indirect way. Serena looked at her roommate, Emma clearly knew a bit more about what was going on than she did. “Fine, but someone must tell me what actually happened.” “Our boy Helt can really dance.” the American blond said with a huge grin. This information did not help Serena understand what was goin...
Part 50. A few days later. It was early evening when Helt Fangstien found a note had been slipped under his door. Last time this happened it had been a challenge to a duel, he wondered what it would be now. “Your American friend has wandered into the cave of giant spiders. Go quickly if you hope to save her.” it read. There was no signature. How mysterious. I will just rush out, with out telling anyone and go save her on my own, that would be the heroic thing to do. He laughed. No, it is most likely a trap, better not be foolish. “Hay Yue.” he said to his roommate, who was in a martial arts stance, meditation. “Know anything about giant spiders?” The Chinese student shook his head, “No, so sorry, I do not.” “Want to help me rescue Emma from some?” the tall German asked. “That would be a noble quest. So yes I do.” Yue replied. Helt passed him the note, “This is all we have to go on. Im going to see Serena, then over to the library to look up...
