Road to Valhalla Chapter 25: Stuck in Time
"Why do you think you ended up like this?""...""So you don't have an answer? Or is it that the answer is too hard for you to say? If you hadn't been so full of yourself, you could have saved everything. Well, you are my daughter, after all, we are just the same. Always thinking we know everything, that's in our blood. And this pride isn't something to be resented either. After all you and I...we are living for one singular goal, aren't we? I know...you understand, don't you? And that's why no matter what comes, we have to keep fighting, for our lives and for our children too." ****************Even though I now had the horse with me, I had no idea where to go. I kept going at a steady pace in an arbitrary direction, under the assumption that I had the horse's reins in my hands. Little did I know it was going where it pleased without any regard for me. I wonder why I didn't realize it but it kept on running until w
Road to Valhalla Chapter 26: The Storm of Nightmares
"Granny, I just want to go home", I was on the verge of crying, and the old lady only wanted to tell incomprehensible tales of the family of Vlad Dracul. If I had even the tiniest bit of interest in anything, it was in the fact that the old lady occasionally made dramatic movements which seemed impossible for her age."When I was a little girl, my father hid me in a trunk for 7 days!", I could barely grasp the elements of exaggeration in her stories which I don't suppose were her faults at all. For example, even seven minutes would feel like seven days in a trunk."Oh but you wouldn't understand!", she seemed to be getting tired and sat down in one of the chairs."When his daughter was born, we were relieved. They say their women don't give good births, and some don't give births at all. That's why their men abduct ladies after their hearts and turn the poor girls into one of them. And then, she was wed into a political marriage, and then she was gone. And we were all happy and we rej
Road to Valhalla Chapter 27: The Treasure
At the end of that nightmare, I was able to find the light which had been so absent in that storm. Even though, night had already fallen, it was still brighter than that storm which had left me so bruised and battered. I felt as if I had been in there for years and years. When I noticed that I could now see the ground, I dropped to my knees. I was exhausted, physically and mentally. I kept wondering if I had conveyed my thoughts to grandfather properly, if he was really able to listen and I also thought about Deli. Maybe I had been wrong about that storm...that was what I wanted to believe.I sat there helplessly, looking at my hands, covered in cuts and scrapes. I kept imagining how everything had been so utterly useless. Deli was right after all, if only I had listened. I closed my eyes as if reliving my life in that storm. It was heartbreaking even though I didn't know why it was so. But I was so out of energy that I couldn't think at all.I wonder how long I stayed like that befor
Road to Valhalla Chapter 28: Felix
"Seraph, how far are you willing to go to find the truth?""The truth...? About you, Lady?""Truth isn't about anyone in particular. It just...is. Don't you think so?""I don't know. That doesn't sound so believable, though"."Is that right? Well, Seraph, I think truth isn't something as relative as you think it is. I mean if there weren't a few things absolutely set in stone, we wouldn't have a lot of hope in this world, now would we? And also, without something so scary as a hardcore truth, we wouldn't have anything left to fight for. It simply isn't worth living anymore without that sort of fear"."Well, I think it isn't worth it if we were never able to find closure. Even if some truth like you say exists, I don't think it is something we all will ever be able to fully accept. And that defeats the purpose. You know, if the world is all about us then the human will is the strongest thing of all. Even a hardcore truth like that would mean nothing against the stubbornness of the huma
Road to Valhalla Chapter 29: The Vixen
"Fight""Why?""Fight""Fight""Keep on fighting!""Wait...I'm not done yet. Hold on!""Fight""...""Seraph, listen closely. You have to just keep on fighting until you are done. In your heart, there is always a...you have to find it...for us"."There is no such place...I am sorry, Lady". ****************"Sorry, I shouldn't have made you do it", Felix walked towards me as I stood motionless like the body in front of me."Huh?""You've never killed anyone before, have you?", he smiled weakly, "I can tell from the look in your eyes. Does killing this guy really make you so sad?"I didn't feel like replying. That attacker was lying there with his rotten guts spilling out. His rancid blood covered most of my hands and Ebony was smeared crimson."That's commendable though. I mean, after all, it is so easy to forget that human part of us when we are killing people left and right everyday"."You don't look like the
Road to Valhalla Chapter 30: So Close/ So Far
"We're getting closer!", Felix said as we were nearing our destination.We hadn't stopped for anything and Nasty led us straight to where we were headed. "It's that factory", I said to myself. This is where Deli's car was when I found it. But she was nowhere to be found near it. And now Nasty had led us back to that place. "Seraph, look!"I noticed two figures in the distance, standing something like 30 feet apart from each other. The same car that should have been idly standing by in that vast empty ground was some ways away, toppled over and crumpled up like paper."Deli!", I identified one of the figures but the second one, a man, was completely unknown to me. It was clear to me that the two were engaged in battle."Hold on, Seraph", Felix stopped me before I could dash towards her.I looked at him questioningly and rather annoyed."There's a bounded field in the area. You can't cross through to her", somehow there was some new crap to deal with. Then again, I couldn't have done
Road to Valhalla Chapter 31: Onwards to the Past Again
"You shouldn't be sitting up, boy", I heard the distant voice of Sight as I began to regain my senses."Oh, no I'm fine. Please don't worry about me", Felix replied in the distance too."Is that right? But I'm not worried or anything. I know you are more than fine"."Hmm?""That was a nice spell, huh? Sure did reinforce that weak barrier real good, huh?!", Sight sounded like he was in a really good mood, though I didn't have enough capacity to comprehend his words.There was no exchange between the two after that. I wonder if I'd simply been unable to hear it but I gave up on trying to get up. I rested my head back on a hard pillow, perhaps a stone. And I was already halfway to the land of dreams before Sight decided to grab me and set me straight. My eyes sprang open with terror, knowing no sleep nor dreams."Ah! You are up, boy!", I was in fact mid air like a cat holds its kitten in its mouth.I tried to look his way but he had already decided my legs were strong enough to carry my
Road to Valhalla Chapter 32: Vampires Of Wallach
"You've realized by now, haven't you? About what Deli is?" "Yeah, it's ironic that we were just talking about that the other day". "It's not just her. It's all of Versailles", Felix reminded me of Amelia and that night I had forgotten came back to me. Everything made a lot more sense now. "She protected me from her own kind...it's funny", I couldn't help but think this way. "You're not exactly wrong about that but...", Felix paused, "I'm sorry, Seraph. Sometimes I say things that don't make sense to you, don't I? Through all my travels, I've come to learn a lot. I'm not bragging about it. I'm just saying, I've heard some stories". "What are you trying to say, Felix?", both of us were on our way to Wallach. "Seraph, in Versailles, people don't come out at night because they are afraid of the bloodsuckers. And it's an unspoken rule but no on talks about their existence. No one knows how many there are, where or who...all that doesn't mean a lot in the end. These bloodsuckers-" "Va
