The Fanged Guardian
Tyler worked in a dark, dingy bar in a port town. Customers smelled like their day's catch and salt. For most of the day he stayed in the bar or his small, meager room. Vampires like him weren't fond of the sun.
Halter loved its gossip. At night the pale vampire loaded ships. The sailors discussed the kidnapping. "King and queen reported they were goblins. That the case prob'ly ay witch 'hind the scenes commandin' em," a gruff grey bearded pirate said in an odd accent.
"I heard they's willing to pay his weight in gold," another sailor said.
An idea popped into his head. "So you'd say they'd give, just about anything?" he asked, careful not to betray emotion.
