From now on the story is told in the eyes of outsider due the death of Historian.By the end of the day dozens of dwarves had been killed. Since the vampires had reached the interior of Evercage fifteen dwarves had been killed, last of them being the historian Keysprays.
But the slaughter wasn't over yet, oh no it wasn't. There was still seven vampires alive, running inside the fortress and slaughtering the poor civilians who were unable to defend themselves due panic. The only dwarf who was really safe from vampires was count Stronghammer who had locked himself inside his personal bedroom. The two adamantine doors were more than enough to prevent the vampires to kill him, though the lack of food would soon become a problem.
For each passing moment the number of dead dwarves was getting higher and higher. The true horror happened when one of the vampires found its way to the hospital, which was full of wounded dwarves. Full of dwarves who were too injured to defend themselves.
But did the vampire slaughter the poor dwarves? No, probably it understood that those weren't going to escape, and so it rushed towards few children who happened to stand nearby. The children were killed by few precise cuts.
The battle lasted for dozen or so days but, unlike anyone expected, finally the last vampire was dead. 13th of Granite was the day when last vampire running free was slaughtered by the archer Riderrock.
But could there be a peace in Evercage? The population had got down to one hundred and five dwarves and the general mood was terrible. Forty dwarves had died during the assault and there was only one soldier standing, other one being blinded and heavily wounded.
On the other hand the situation wasn't as terrible as it could be. From noble positions there were several survivors; Stronghammer, Channellashed, Dohon, Kilik, Alaric and three priests. Channellashed had appointed herself as the bookkeeper for now as the previous one was dead. Other dead in nobility were Ahra, Rar and Yorilda.
From notable prisoners the only survivors were the miner Karakzon, Argonnek, Lecktor and ImBocaire. Every other prisoner who had gained some fame inside the fortress were dead.
