... The Archipelago …

"Haven't fed for six months? Bullshit! He said that to cover up his ass!" Adrian paced the rocky room.

Caius was before a large shelf that was filled with scrolls and old books. In his hand was a book on which his brown ringed eyes ran.

Adrian grunted. "Father, please listen to me."

Caius didn't reply. He walked to study table and shifted the chair before setting his butt on it.

Adrian palmed his face and paced to Caius. He slammed his hands on the table and leaned at Caius.

"Father, why are you being this ignora-"

Adrian couldn't finish it when he suddenly clutched his head. His vision blurred and thick veins protruded his head as he shook like an electricity current is passed through his body.

"F, fa, father…" he struggled to say when an unseen force slammed him against the wall.

He grimaced on the floor. He felt paralysed. He couldn't feel his limbs.

"Father," he screamed. But Caius is no longer on his chair.

He became frightened. His father mustn't leave him

He found nothing useful.Cocoon draped around the corners and the ceilings. The darkness was so thick that with his enhanced vision, he could barely see a meter around him.He scaled the stairs. He sighed as his feet touched the floor of the basement.His eyes wandered around. Stale air. Cold walls. A dusty table and a walnut wood chair. On the walls were maps, routes dotted and lined on it. Then on the floor were old and rusty iron boxes.His jaws clenched then he moved to continue his search.The lock fell. The metal cover removed. Then his hands ransacked the boxes.Just tools.

    Two monster vans roared their way through the single road that ran through the woods.Inside the vehicles, men in uniforms like that of fire service operated unconscious humans, extracting their organs and packing it in boxes.BANG!A loud bang tore through the night.Birds shrieked as they flapped away from sight.The vehicles behind launched into the air and with another bang landed on the asphalt road hard. A ball of fire erupted from its existence next.The driver of the other one gazed into the side mirror. All he saw was a ball of fire. The vehicles that second his' is nowhere to be found.They panicked. The man on the seat beside the driver's grabbed his assault rifle and strafed outta the window.He peered through the thermal lens."What do you see?!" The driver panicked."Nothi-" the man suddenly gasped. "It's a freak. It's damn fast!"Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!Gunshots followed."A fast freak?! A vampire!!" The driver's eyes popped as he gripped the steering more tightly. With a

    BANG! The half burnt double doors of the storeroom fell flat with a puff of dust. The goons aimed their guns forward. Their fighter's soul tried its best to fight the fear as they gazed at their fried comrades on their ground. The leader's eyes flashed as he gritted. A gale of wind blew the dust sideways as a yellow cloak billowed into view. Slash! A head of a goon flew into the air and fell, landing by the leader's feets. "Uh?!" Red blood splashed on his face as his eyes twitched. Shock appeared on his face and the fear creeped into his soul. His gaze slowly fell on the head by feets and it turned ugly. "Fire!!!!!!!!" His hoarse scream emanated and hollers of guns erupted around him. The billowing cloak was all they could see as it flashed around, not the body wrapped in it. Everywhere the cloak appears, head drops and blood splashes. Bangs resounded around the hall as guns spat silver bullets, but none hit the target. It only became a useless stray metal that struck t

    BANG!A circular shockwave was sent outwards. Hellsong held his two blazing arms in front of his head as the shockwave hitted him squarely, flinging him away. Benzo quickly created a defensive wall of fire in front of him. The shockwave struck it and it was scattered as his body was sent crashing away as well. The walls reverberated and the firm concrete of the corridors around had chunks of it shattered. The ground shattered as cracks that spread from the place the green arrow had struck covered the entire ground of the hall.Soon the shockwave settled.vSilence descended as the reverberation stopped.But the thick dust that still hovered in the air was so dense that one wouldn't be able to see a thing.Hellsong weakly lifted his head. A mouthful of blood spurted outta his lips. Fatigue could be seen clearly in his sapphire eyes.His dull eyes gazed around.The dust began to clear, and his vision began to catch visuals of the hall.Benzo's body didn't stir.

    ..A day ago..Kylian trotted into the Night Hills. The dark and eerie gales that whistled through their paths blew around him. Trees, humongous ones with foliages hunkered down, towered above him like a thousand giants, making him look like an ant in the midst of Titans.Howls sounded all around him. Silent throaty growls as blurry figures flashed all around him.This is the wolves territory in the Night Hills and no vampire treads there. Because the wolves and the vampires have no relationship. Even in fantasy novels and movies, they are portrayed as natural enemies. It isn't much different from that too.But despite this, Kylian's face, protruding all over with dark veins, was as calm as a millpond as he ventured deeper into the midst of the silent growls that lurked the shadows."Stop, vampire!" A deep voice thundered.He didn't stop. He continued his advance.Hulking figures flashed towards him. His cloak billowed and he was no longer in sight.The growls became more and more cohe

The Mutilator's basement. ..BANG!A pressure so high that it made everyone in the hall fall on their knees suddenly emanated.The hind legged creatures bowed their bat like heads as they all chorused. "Lord."The Mutilator's desperation suddenly turns to perplexity. He felt lost. He felt sour all over. He felt like his life has ended."My Lord." His voice was like that of a half dead person as he went on his knees.Candles lit the more in the basement and illuminated the space.An average looking manly figure under a dark cloak stalked The Mutilator. Cold bodies under cloak flanked and trailed him.Among the bodies, one that led the others, had a staff in his completely covered left hand. On the top of the staff was the wooden three eyed bat with it's wings spread wide.A three eyed bat with spread wings. The trademark of one of the Primordial Vampires. The Tribunals. One of the clan of vampires that has existed for thousands of years, before every other vampires, before humans ex

    .. The Archipelago…Candles lit around. But the light couldn't do much. Only shadows on the rocky walls could be seen with much clarity.The place was a mess. The confines of the cave were filled with murmurs and silent gossip.Cold bodies under cloaks gathered before the stone podium, on which the leader, Caius usually stands to address the coven. As Caius had said, there's a fang glow.But they have waited for hours, still no signs of Caius.Inside the inner rooms, lined with cold rocks, was Caius. Bones-the-old was there too with some other vampires of high order in the Casal coven.The place is almost dark. With so little lighting.Caius was apart from them. He was standing before the Northside wall of the stone room. His mind faraway.His eyes were on the image sculptured on the stone wall by fine hands. The dexterity says it all. The image was that of a female with fangs, a vampire. Beautiful, that's the first thing that would come to your mind when you see the female's image.

    Greenwich, New York City suburbs...Sarai's safehouse..His eyes opened. It closed back as his face crumpled, pain evident on it.A groan escaped his lips as he grimaced. He felt his head splitting. It felt like a thousand ton hammer is pounding on it. He feared it would break. Yet it didn't.Every part of his body felt like a thousand needles are thrusted into it. It felt so painful that it's become numb.Where am I? His mind flashed as he gazed at the stone ceiling. Red like clay and somehow glinting with the dim light that a source he can't see right now gave the space. The stone is definitely not normal. He thought.The place was warm, so unlikely of a room with stone ceiling but he heard no crackling of fireplace. This made him even more confused.Where is this place?"Hey, Kylian."A voice called and his mind clicked. That's my name. His face turned and he saw the person. Square face. Crimson eyes with a tinge of brown. And finally a beige cloak hung on the person back.It's

He turned Kylian who was fighting with a speed that clearly matched the vampires'.Like the vampires who were all turned by Akotal, a Primordial vampire, Kylian was also turned by a vampire of a clan of Primordial Vampires, the Skulls. So their strength is on the same level, unlike Hector who was turned by a vampire.However,Bang!Kylian was sent flying across the hall. Hector's eyes followed Kylian's body as it slammed hard against the gold-lined wall. Quickly, he sprung to his feet and rushed to Kylian's side.His fearful eyes glanced back at the

    The dark night 1

    Swoosh! Swoosh!!At the Western part of the castle, there was a flash of light in the middle of utter darkness.After a few seconds, the light subsided. Then, two figures were revealed.Kylian and Hector.Hector grinned sheepishly as he gazed at his hands, slowly lowering his gaze to look at his other bod parts, awe visible in his eyes.Kylian glanced at him and whispered. "What is it?""I haven't experienced that before in my entire life." Hector responded, still in awe."Emmm!" Kylian took off his eyes and looked around them.They were in the middle of a twenty meters wide and over a hundred meters long hall, which was dimly lit. The wall, made of black stone, had veins of pure gold running through it, making it look like streaks of gold in pure black sea of walls.The floor looked like a wood but not entirely like a wood, it looked like a metal.The place was so silent that if a needle dropped, it sound would be heard all over the hall.Even though there's a source of illumination

    The others waited, all silent and in their thoughts, as they watched Sarai whisper words, inaudibly.She stepped forward, ahead of them as the blue magic circle on her hands vanished and the exact type appeared beneath her feets.An invisible wave of energy poured outward, with Sarai as the core.Her voice got even louder and the wind blew around very hard, flapping her dress.After about thirty minutes, she finally stopped, heaving heavily."Hey, how is it?" Hector asked.The others had their eyes on her too as she struggled to steady her breathing."I think she's done it guys." Benzo's voice reached them and they all turned to see the waters.It's no longer just a water body, it's now a lake. And standing erect in the middle of it, towering in its black form, was an old castle that looked like a thousand years old house.The sinister aura that emanated from the building alone sent chills down the spine of the group as they gazed at it."Beautiful, isn't it?" Kylian smiled, wryly and

    The ArchipelagoCaius, Bones-the-old and Adrian stood before a stone, which was covered in dust.Bones-the-old wrinkled face had a serious expression as he placed the Bone knife, Argus on the stone.He casted Caius a glance, the latter nodded, signifying his grasp on what Bones wants. He pulled up the sleeve of his black attire, revealing his pale white hand and bit his wrist, letting out pale red blood.He moved his hand to the stone and let the blood dripping from the wrist fall on the Bone knife. Bones-the-old's eyes glowed bright white and his whole body trembled as he activated his supernatural ability of foreseeing the future. This time, it's the future of the coven.While the process went on, the others were quiet.Anxiety or worry can't be used to qualify what Caius and the others are feeling right now. What they are feeling right now, but can't say it out loud, was terror.Why won't they feel like that?A Primordial vampire who is after them, but currently too weak to do it,

    Love in pieces

    Flashback.A thousand years ago.The twenty meters tall, five meters wide wooden double doors broke apart. A manly figure dashed into the large hall with hurried steps. The heavy breathing of the figure, definitely not that of exhaustion, spoke volumes of how vexed he is.In the middle of the large hall was a large and long wooden table with wooden chairs around it.Spread beneath the spot was a woven carpet that had the embroidery of a bat that had three eyes, the symbol of the Tribunals.Four figures occupied the chairs and were having a tete-a-tete on the table. They all looked young and youthful and a deathly aura that had a pressure that could kill a normal human, emanated from them.They are the Primordial Vampire family known as the Tribunals. They are the elders of the Tribunals. They are the true Primordials of the clan.The figure that entered the large hall earlier stopped by the table. He looked like a young man. But he isn't just a man. He's one of the true Tribunals. He

    Flames of determination to..... Die

    The MarcabaKylian didn't feel a thing when he heard what Heald said about the person who wanted to use Christa as a sacrifice. He just went numb. His dead heart stopped beating and he felt like he's drowning in water and the pressure is sucking out his life, slow, slow.A Primordial vampire wanted to make use of Christa as a sacrifice. A Primordial vampire?!Those words alone sent shivers down his spine. Every obsession that the soulmate something brought on him all died down as he recounted the words.A Primordial vampire!"Why?" He whispered, the word barely heard."I can explain it all to you, if you would hear me out," Sarai said. Kylian slowly shifted his gaze to hers. The blank expression on his face began to morph and soon became that of perplexity. "Tell me, Sarai.""You were turned by a Skull vampire, do you know that?" Sarai lifted a brow."Yes." Kylian nodded. His eyes fluttered and bitterness shown in it as he added. "Even though I don't know his name."It is such a pit

    Feeling self pity.

    Urgency washed through Kylian and his veins pumped hard. He yelled in alarm. "We need to find Christa!" Heald nodded and held Kylian's shoulder as he said, "we know."Kylian's face crumpled. "You know?""Yes." Sarai nodded."She's been taken by Hellsong and you are all here saying you know?!" Kylian snapped. "Do you realize this girl is my soulmate?""It's not that we don't care about your soulmate, Kylian." Heald shook his shoulder slightly, "this is more than you think.""You must have known before that she's going to be used for a sacrifice by a person?" Sarai asked.Kylian nodded."It's not just a person." Sarai added. "It's a vampire.""He's a very powerful vampire." Benzo muttered.Kylian shifted his gaze between them, his eyes utterly filled with confusion.Heald sighed with a deathly expression as he completed. "It's a Vampire Lord. It's a Primordial vampire."********Flashback.1778Florence, Italy.It had been fifty five years since Caius met Ava.He got control of his pow

    The curse

    Silence ruled the space. The silence was so much that it would alarm even a god. The space was void. Just plain white and it stretched as far as the eye could see. It was endless, like a whole world. Kylian was standing in the middle of the place, his eyes, normal silvery flashed around in confusion. 'Where am I?' he thought inwardly as he swiveled, constantly, in 360° turns. "You are here, Eleodore!" A voice echoed around the place. It sounded like the union of speakers located at the four corners of the white realm. That's if it has corners and ends. Kylian looked around. 'My real name?' he thought and the confusion on his face overflowed as he desperately searched for the caller. "It's me." The voice came again. Kylian searched around his head for where he had heard the voice before. No one knows his real name. Apart from Heald, Sarai, Mei Li and Benzo, no one else knows his real name. They knew his name only because he told the story of his past to them. No one from his p

"What are we doing here, Ava?"The second figure, identified to be Ava, seemed not to be bothered by question as she gazed around.She dodged a man in a black mantua as she replied calmly. "Your curiosity will be gone in a moment, Caius."The first figure, Caius sighed and turned his eyes from Ava as they went on, under the scorching sun."Here we are." Ava pulled down her hood as she stopped by a shop in front of which several talisman and lucky cards are displayed. She gestured to Caius as she muttered. "Come in."Caius' eyes glinted with hesitation at first. But at the slight reassuring smile of Ava's, he s
