Atrio stopped, ducking off the path into a secluded area. "It pains me to do this to another vampire, but I'll not die to some petty sorcerer's curse," Atrio monologued, still holding Constance's mouth. "If Marten hadn't forced my hand, the fool, he chose his own path long ago. He never could see his way to true power... and why didn't he see my potential... I've passed him now, it's time I showed him he's nothing compared to me." He sank his fangs into Constance's neck, drawing heavily on the magic-laced blood.
Marten could see Atrio through the trees, and his easy lope turned quickly into a breakneck run, muscles straining as he covered ground at tremendous pace.
Atrio drew hard at the jugular, sucking blood with more force than the heart had to pump it. He felt the artery go flat, but kept his vigil. He would need strength to face the group, especially now that his zombies were all gone.
Marten lept through the trees, gripping Atrio with claws and teeth in a vicious move. He dragged his target forcefully from Constance, trying to position himself for a vicious jerk to snap Atrio's neck. Atrio fought like a madman, with strength well beyond the limits of human or even elvish muscles. He threw Marten from him, taking a fighting stance and preparing for a contest of magic. "Don't make me laugh old fool, your petty magics are no match for the power that runs through my veins," Atrio taunted, lifting a darkly glowing fist towards Marten. Marten glanced at Constance, a pulse of magic resealing her jugular and awakening her spinal cord before returning his attention to Atrio.

"Constance, it's not your magic he needs. The blood itself carries power, one which a skilled wizard can distill; or in Atrio's case, copy. I can explain later." He lunged at the vampire, dodging the cold blast of necromantic energy and sinking his fangs into Atrio's shoulder.
Atrio struck Marten's head hard, or tried to in any case. Already the elixir's power was wearing off, he had pushed himself to the limit and without blood or magic energy left he was little more than a normal man. He hurled the panther away from him with the last of his strength, before shapeshifting into a bat. "You haven't seen the last of me, Marten. When I have freed myself from your curse we will see who the true master is!"
Marten grinned a feral smile "It will still be me, Atrio. Until you learn the discipline required for true magic, it will always be me." He shifted back to human form, feeling the waves of nausea and headaches finally swell over the magical blocks placed by his transformation spell. Something was wrong, though. He couldn't place it, but the night was awfully breezy...
Erik watched as Atrio shifted and did the same, shrinking in the prison until he could easily fly off. He darted into the shadows before returning to his master, defeated but proud of his accomplishment. He had held two of them on his own, with only a months study. If Master Atrio would teach him more, he was sure he could defeat all of them!
