"A dozen dried fish," a customer said.

"In a moment, please." Sarai bent behind the counter and prepared what the customer asked for.

A grating noise, a crowded place, the Market Street bustled under the orange sunset.

"Ello amardi Sarai."

Sarai the witch looked up from the counter.

A body beneath a beige cloak was before her.

"Heald," she called.

"Sarai." The latter raised his head. His pulled brows spoke of his feelings.

"What are you doing here?" Sarai's eyes glanced around, caution glinting in them, before she faced Heald again. "Come in."

They entered. Sarai motioned to the mat on the floor. Heald chose to stand.

"What have you done to my friend?" He asked.

"What?" Sarai's brows furrowed.

"Ever since I brought him to you, he's been distancing himself from me."

Sarai sighed. "I only did what I think I should do, which you know of."

"Don't tell me I know of anything!" Heald inched closer to her in his towering form. "Now you tell me what you did to my friend."

Sarai subconsciously took a step back. Her eyes widening at Heald's ferocity.

"Okay you need to calm down!" Sarai held her palms up at Heald's chest. 

Heald stopped. But his eyes still burned with the same intensity.

Sarai gulped. "I think your friend is keeping a secret."

"You shouldn't make up things, witch, I have known him for two whole centuries. Never had he behaved like this."

"I swear. You might have known me not up to a decade but trust me when I tell you this."

Heald's frown loosened a bit. "Speak."

"Sickness, that's what you both call what might be affecting him, right?"

Heald nodded. 

"I don't think so. When I look into his eyes, all I see is darkness." Sarai gulped.

"Now, what are you driving at?," Heald asked.

"There's something he's not telling you. There's something he's not saying."

Heald scoffed. "Every supernatural being out there has a secret. Every living creature has."

"Trust me, the secret others have might not be as deep as this. The darkness is just too much." 

"How do you know? I have seen no darkness in him since we became friends. I drink human blood but he doesn't. So tell what darkness he has?"

"I'm not sure but I think you should try and get something outta him."

"Don't try me, witch, no vampire's anger has been a cool one."

"In a full fledged fight with me, you'll barely be able to hold up so you should hear me out," Sarai said.

Heald stopped talking.

"Try to get something outta him."

Heald was about to answer when he paused.

A gasp escaped his lips as he lifted his pallid hand. His thumb finger was aglow.

"Another claw glow? What the hell is going on?"

Sarai's features took on a pondering look. "Must be something important as far as it's the coven."

"I'll be back." Heald headed towards the door.

"Remember," Sarai said.

Heald halted.

"Try and get something outta him. Or you might lose him forever."

Heald glanced over his shoulder at the witch. Then he headed out, melting into the crowding piling around the market.

                      **************

..The Archipelago..

The Vampires coven.

Chains jiggled. Low groans echoed off the rocky walls. 

One could barely see what's in the next meters away. It's dark and chilling.

Chains clattered again. A groan, this time more loud and prominent, emanated. 

The air whistled and a figure appeared.

Several candles lit, revealing a cavernous hall with rocky walls, images of razor sharp claws and deadly fangs engraved on it.

The candlelights reflected on the standing figure, illuminating a scarlet cloak. In the ensuing illumination, a figure in chains was revealed too, its silvery hair seeming to glimmer.

"Hello, vampire." The figure under the scarlet cloak grinned as it lowered its hood. A square face was revealed, icy cold and pale. "Kylian. That's your name?"

Kylian lifted his head. His eyes were weak.

"Y, you."

A trickle echoed. Kylian's gaze slowly fell on the ground, below him. His eyes twitched and flashed with a painful light.

Adrian looked down as well and his eyes gained a size. But he was quick to regain his composure.

It's a pool of red. Formed by Kylian's pale vampire blood.

Adrian snorted. "Look at you. Appears you fed more than your belly this time. A crowd of humans, uh, you even had a squad of vampires by your side."

"So dwarf in every sense." Kylian's weakly scoffed. 

Adrian's smile disappeared. His face hardened as several bees appeared from thin air. Their buzzing, sounding like death's trumpet, emanated in the rocky space. 

But a footstep echoed.

Adrian stopped as he felt the aura.

The bees disappeared into the shadows and he shifted from Kylian.

"Father." He bowed.

Caius, under his black cloak didn't even reply. He barely casted him a glance before focussing on the man in chains.

Bones the old was beside him too. His face held a complex expression.

Caius' gazed at Kylian like forever. His sharp eyes wandering on his body and scanning it like he could see his very soul.

After a while ogling, his eyes settled on Kylian's eyes.

Kylian's face was expressionless. His anxiety could be felt by him. It poured in every holes of his soul. But not his body so the vampire men before him couldn't feel it.

Things might not go right. 

But the determination in him told of what he would do if what he feared finally came.

He will fight, annihilate and survive as he had always done in the past.

A swoosh made them turn. Behold it's Heald. His eyes were wide with shock as he looked around.

There's no fang glow? He thought.

Caius' have him a curt look and said, "I summoned you, myself."

Heald gulped and nodded.

"What were you doing, vampire?" Caius' asked as he turned his gaze to Kylian. "If it weren't for the sweepers who bought you in, our secrets, our existence is at risk."

"Uh!" Kylian was surprised. He had expected a question more hostile and unnerving.

"Am asking you, what were you doing, bloodsucker?!" Caius growled this time.

"Father, the evidence has revealed what happened." Adrian took a step closer.

However, Caius declined him by raising his arm. Adrian shrank back.

Kylian watched. After a few minutes, his lips parted.

"I was in the bar. Having my time when a strong scent of blood reached me."

Caius nodded, giving him a go-ahead.

"I wanted to check it out but there are newborns in there. They went berserk and began to feed." Kylian stopped.

"Why didn't you stop them?" Bones-the-old asked.

"Because I can't. I don't have the strength. I tried but I couldn't."

"That's so undoing. A. Two. And. Half. Century. Old. Vampire. Can't. Stop. A. Few. Newborns." Caius shook his head. "Quite odd."

"And why can't you do it, ain't you a survivor? Or perhaps, you lied about your age," Bones-the-old said.

Kylian's face was expressionless. He didn't even bulge.

Just then Heald came in. "He hasn't fed for the past six months."

"Uh!"

"Uh!"

They were surprised.

"He isn't healing from his wound too," Caius reasoned. Then he looked up at Kylian. "Why weren't you feeding?"

"I just wished not to," Kylian replied.

"Wished not to? You sure want your head on the cold floors of this coven." Caius growled and his eyes flashed pure crimson. 

The others moved back a step. Only Kylian wasn't affected by the bursting aura. 

But then a wave, invisible to the eye, bursted towards Kylian. 

A yelp of pain erupted from him. He felt his head splitting. He felt like…..

His ears bled and a mouthful of blood spurted outta his mouth.

Caius calmed his aura a bit as he leaned closer to Kylian, who's still groaning in pain. "You were protecting a human. A female. Who is she?"

Kylian's eyes widened. "Where is she? She's with me." His voice was barely heard.

"Who. Is. She. To. You?"

"She's my mate. I felt it. That's who she is."

Caius' kept quiet about this. He pondered on it.

Bones the old too seemed to be pulled into his thoughts. Heald and Adrian were both surprised. But their surprises were different.

Heald's was mixed with fear. Fear because it's forbidden to have a human mate except if the human has agreed to be turned. So he feared Kylian might be dessicated.

Adrian's surprise was different. Entirely different. He felt empty all of the sudden. He felt downcasted.

But then his expectant eyes turned to his father. "Father, a human mate is forbidden by the law."

"I know," Caius replied, his eyes not shaking at all. Then he turned to Kylian. "You know that, don't you?"

Kylian nodded weakly. 

"You know what to do. I don't need to tell you."

Kylian nodded again. 

"You're going to die at this rate if your wound is still open," Caius pondered. He bit his wrist and a pallid blood was revealed.

The others stared with wide eyes. 

Caius bought his bleeding wrist near Kylian's mouth and nudged him to feed.

The latter hesitated before bringing his mouth to the wrist and drew blood.

After a few seconds, Kylian took off his bloody mouth. 

Caius shifted back as well. 

The others stared. Kylian waited. But his waiting wasn't up to half a minute when he felt his strength coming back.

The gash on his neck healed and his eyes gained a sparkle of red.

"You can go."

"Uh!"

"Uh!"

"Uh!"

Gasps erupted. Shock. That was what they all felt.

Even Kylian wasn't left out.

You can go. Just like that?

It felt like it's not their leader. It felt like the person before them was not Caius.

"But, father-"

Caius' glare shut Adrian up.

Vampires appeared in the shadows and slashed at the chains. It fell with a clank.

Heald walked to Kylian and supported him.

Caius exited the hall. Bones the old trailed him.

Adrian casted Kylian a glance before vanishing as a blur.

Kylian sighed and looked at Heald with a look of gratitude.

Heald nodded and they swooshed from the coven.

                      **************

Night Hills woods.

As they sprinted, Heald and Kylian conversed.

"Don't tell me you wanted to fight if things go the other way," Heald started.

Kylian didn't reply. Heald knew at once what his answer was.

"What really happened?" Heald asked.

"It's just as I've said. But there's something more." Kylian squinted his eyes.

"Tell me."

They swerved out of the towering oaks into a pine field. Leaping over a fallen tree, they continued.

"They were harvesting organs. Perhaps, for a ritual. They took someone too. I heard them say it even though it's incoherent. It's a girl."

Kylian suddenly stopped.

Heald stopped too and faced Kylian. "Hey, what's it?"

"I need to see if the girl is okay," Kylian replied.

"The girl?" Heald moved closer to him. "She's your mate. I know it's a lie."

"You're right. I need to keep her safe. She was there because of me."

"She's just one human. A breakfast to us vampires."

Kylian growled. "She's not a breakfast."

Heald flinched. His lips pursed for a while before he asked, "Why do you care for her?"

Kylian kept silent. His gaze fell on the ground as he became lost in his thoughts.

Heald waited.

"All my life, I've done many evils that can make you turn your back on me if you know."

Heald's jaw dropped.

Kylian continued. "All my life, I've been the demise of others. I've never saved one. She's just a girl, Heald. A candlelight in the breeze of our world." Kylian lifted his gaze to Heald's. "She came there for me. She wanted to listen to the rest of the story but I almost got her killed. I couldn't even protect her till the very end."

"It ain't your fault, KY. The crest held your powers. You need to grip yourself," Heald said.

"She deserves to live."

"And she'll live," Heald replied.

"Not now that she's the only survivor of that attack. The attack was caused by a group of supernaturals I know nothing of yet. Whether she knows of our existence or not, she's a survivor now and she needs someone to protect her." Kylian clenched his fist. "And I'll protect her."

Heald was speechless. But then he gripped himself. "You know it's prohibited to help or interfere in human matters. Caius' won't be pleased if he gets to know."

"And I don't care if he does. I need to make sure she's safe."

Kylian turned to leave but then a groan escaped his lips. He clutched his chest.

He could feel a wave of heat rising.

"The crests…" Heald gasped.

Kylian lifted his hands to look at his wrists.

Lo and behold, the crests are gone.

It's expired. 

Kylian's eyes widened and fear crept up his soul. 

He could feel the familiar heat rising up his abdomen. It's only a matter of time before it gets out of control and the worst occurs.

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

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!"

    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."

    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.

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

"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."

    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
