MY DRAUGR SYSTEM; THE DUAL SENTINEL

MY CONDOLENCES

“I am more interested in knowing this, why would a Royal Vampire mate a human? they are just foods, how could you?” Ushar asked in denial, failing to understand how his mother could be human.

He had grown up in the Vampire world and all his life, humans had always been just source of blood for Vampires, a relationship between a Vampire and human could not even be conceived by most Vampires, even Ushar felt repulsed by that idea. In fact he suddenly felt repulsed by himself, now he understood why all other Vampires detested him, after all he was only a half breed with the blood of a lowly human.

“How could I? Well… I was just a young Vampire who loved to explore, I like to follow my heart and test boundaries, I didn’t even care about what any other person thought. Back then, you would better not tell me something is right because I would simply do all I can to prove that it is not and that the opposite of your claim is actually the right one. On a random day, I decided to break into the human settlement and just as they always did, the human started scurrying away. Never could I have thought a fragile looking female human would stand up to me, she demanded to know why I was here claiming that the agreement of the humans and the Vampires was that the humans would only be required to donate blood once a week which they all already did. I was speechless, fascinated and curious, things just developed from their…” The King said chuckling as he shook his head, “...thinking back now, I was really one hell of a jerk and I am even more fortunate to have committed the blunder I did with your mother, if I hadn’t suffered out there for years and get some reeducation, I could have really lead the Vampire Kingdom to its doom with my stupidity or get killed before I did.” The King said chuckling again.

“You were fortunate, you brought me to this world, a bastard with the blood of the lowly humans who can’t even inherit your crown and you think that is something to be happy about?” Ushar asked, his face hard as he glared at the King.

“Bringing you to this world might be a mistake on my part but looking at you now, I confidently say it wasn’t a bad mistake. You are not a lowlife in anyway, why did you think I had to make this deal with you in the place? Why do you think I secretly requested you let your sister have the crown without a fight?” The King asked looking at Ushar whose brow rose.

In fact, Ushar had once been a powerless Vampire that envied other Royal Vampires who all possessed blood powers but all that had changed the moment he discovered his own power. He had immediately ran to his father in excitement but instead of sharing his excitement, Ushar had been banned by the King from showing his power to any other vampire and this had also perpetuated to the believe that not was he only a bastard but he was weak and useless - another thing he had to thank his father for.

“Trust me son, the power you possess is strange and has great potential. Though, I am protecting you by telling you to keep it away from others, I am also protecting others. We have learned all there is to learn about the Blood power and have inculcated control into every single Vampire but for your power, the power to manipulate bones, not a single record exists about that. You don’t know what triggers it and trust me, our powers when wrongfully triggered can cause great destruction. So the only reason I told you to throw in the fight was simply because Morgana must win, the Vampire Kingdom will only accept her but your power might prove too strong for her and even for you causing chaos.” The King spoke and Ushar face hardened even more.

“I am not a loose cannon okay, I can control myself pretty well.” Ushar spoke before coming to a gradual stop. Looking around, he could see a street with several people moving to and fro, several bright lamps dotted the street side lighting up the whole place when Ushar suddenly a scream rang out.

“Vampires!”

The place immediately turned chaotic as everyone on the street fled.

Ushar couldn’t help but sigh - these were humans but just like the bugs they were, they always lost their cool at the sight of any Vampire. Surprisingly however, he and the King were still some distance from the settlement, the humans were supposed to possessed very dull senses so how had they been discovered.

“At ease everyone!” A firm womanly voice suddenly shouted from the midst of the humans and Ushar could see someone walking forwards, the fiercest looking human he had ever laid his sight on.

“To what honor do we owe your visit, Queen Lilith?” The woman spoke, her eyes fixed on a figure who slowly moved in from a side and Ushar frown, it seems the Blood Queen had coincidentally visited with him and the King or was it a coincidence?

“Honor” The Queen spoke chuckling for a moment before staring at the woman with her golden eyes glowing powerfully, “how dare you speak to me, you bag of blood!” She shouted before shooting off and instantly appeared in front of the human. Her claws dug right into the chest of the human who hunched over, her face clouded in pain and disbelieve while blood trailed down her chest into the Queen’s arm.

“Noooo!” Ushar heard the King screamed and his blood ran cold. Why did his father sounded so pained?

Slowly, the Queen turned towards the King, a maniacal smile on her face as she spoke, “You think you can keep it a secret from me didn’t you, that you bred with a bug and begat that blight.” She said glaring at Ushar on whose face, confusion appeared, then denial as he heard the Queen’s successive word, “well, here she is Ushar, the beloved mother you are here to see.” The Queen said, before throwing the lifeless woman’s body right towards Ushar whose hand involuntarily moved catching her body from the air.

His eyes glanced into the face of the woman in his hand, her eyes were looking back into his, great anguish visible on it. Her hands twitched trying to rise towards his face but they were too weak, she was too weak to move a hand.

Ushar did not know why but he grabbed her hand and brought it right into his cheeks, “mother,” he called softly feeling her weak hands pressed into his cheek and from the corner of her eyes, a tears rolled down.

The woman lips moved, she wanted to smile but a sudden stream of blood had surged out of her mouth in an instant and Ushar watched the woman in his hand, his mother turned into a shriveled corpse in an instant.

By the side, the Queen mouth was wide open as the stream of blood which had surged out of Ushar’s mother’s body was sucked into her wide mouth, disappearing in an instant and the Queen licked her crimson lips with a satisfied expression.

“My condolences Ushar” She then spoke with a smirk.
