Status Updates From Eternal Lullaby: Elven Fant...

Okay, one of my only grievances with this series, is the back and forth with the facts. Svenn is a vampire and it's said and shown many times throughout, how great and powerful he is....yet he's struggling to lift a body rn?? And in the brothel.... they're struggling to escape the guards but why didnt he just create a portal like he did the other day for them to travel? It doesn't add up and irritates me.
