MY DRAUGR SYSTEM; THE DUAL SENTINEL

THE GUARDIAN

“You have to leave… you have to leave bone demon…”

It sounded faint, everything sounded faint and Ushar was glad for that as he stared at a mound of crystals in front of him. This was the only thing that his brain seems capable of understanding now, his mother had died and he had found a final resting place for her at the foot of a lone hill.

“You have to leave…” The annoying voice however persisted and this time it sounded close, very close that his ear tickled and Ushar realized that whatever was making that sound must be very close to him.

On this realization, his whole being went on high alert as he leapt up spreading his arms to guard his mother’s grave with his teeth barred as he looked around.

“It's me… it’s me Dunn.” A childish voice spoke and Ushar stiffened for a moment before slowly looking down. Right there in front of him, Dunn – the kid who had helped him find this burial place stood looking up at him with a nervous expression while repeatedly glancing around.

Ushar slowly lowered his arms as he closed his eyes for sometimes before speaking to the boy with all the gentleness he could muster, “kid, what are you doing here?”

“They are all over the place, they are looking for you. You should run, leave before they catch you.” The boy answered and Ushar stared at him with a frown.

“Are you talking about the vampires?” He eventually asked even though he already knew the answer, he could smell them approaching but now it was too late.

With a loud beastly cry, he shot forward grabbing the boy in front of him and screamed, “How dare you? How dare you pile stones on her?”

The boy was shell shocked by the sudden change as he trembled in Ushar grasp but Ushar did not care in the least as he had his hand under the kid’s jaw holding in a powerful grip and this way, he lifted the boy off the ground.

“Words came to my ear that you your Queen, boy.” A voice suddenly spoke from behind and Ushar paused for sometimes before slowly looking at the speaker and his eyes widened.

It was an old frail looking golden eyed vampire but Ushar knew better than to judge this old vampire by his looks. This was the guardian of blood, a vampire specifically chosen to destroy threats that could destroy royal vampires. This was the only vampire that could boast of being the ultimate vampire in the blood kingdom.

“Morgana sent you to kill me.” Ushar spoke as he dropped the boy in his hand who quickly scurried off.

With his old bored looking face, the old vampire replied, “Killing you would be a waste so you are hereby banished from the blood kingdom forever. This is the decision of the Blood Queen but trust me, it took a really long time convincing her to not come here and take your head. I would advise you resigned to fate and go to Earth, make sure to blend in too so they won’t come crying that we let out a monster amongst them.” The Vampire said before turning to go.

“The blood Kingdom is my Kingdom! I will kill the Queen! I will kill you all and take back what is rightfully mine!” Ushar shouted with heaving chest and the old vampire who had walked some steps off paused.

Suddenly Ushar saw the old vampire blasted off his place appearing right in front of Kurt on whose body a bone amour immediately materialized but when the old vampire’s claw impacted his chest, it sliced right through the armor carving four deep lines on him just as his whole body was also lift off the ground, flying over his mother’s grave and crashing violently into the hill behind.

Ushar tried to cry out but he choked as blood only splattered off his mouth and slowly, the old vampire walked towards him, bending down and looking into his eyes as he spoke, “you have guts, that’s why your head is still on your body now boy but you will leave… and if you ever think of returning, make sure you are well able to defeat me.” He said and then stood walking off into the darkness.

…

I am still alive.

This was the thought on Ushar’s mind as he felt his consciousness returned as his eyes quivered open to see a bright white ceiling and his dark eyes shut back the very next moment as electrifying pain shot through his head.

“Get it away! Get the light away!” Ushar screamed with veins bulging all over his face but there was no response. “Wait, light, where am I?” Ushar thought in alarm as his eyes yanked open again, again there was pain but it was lesser this time and Ushar closed his eyes again, trying to process his situation.

In the underworld, there was no sun and no moon, only tiny stars which could do no more than create tiny white dots in the perpetual night sky. For the creatures in the underworld especially the vampires, this in no way constituted a problem and the only semblance of artificial light they possessed were crimson lamps powered with monster cores. Never in Ushar life had he seen such a bright light and it seems to be upsetting several things in his body but Ushar sense could never be complete without his sight, he had to ensure the pain and study his surroundings properly.

With his thoughts now coherent, the last of Ushar memories started to come back. He had been wounded and banished from the blood kingdom, he could remember dragging his battered body through the dark world until he found a portal linking his world to Earth and came through it.

That was the last thing he remembered was terrifying pain which knocked him out.

“I am in Earth.” Ushar spoke in realization as he opened his eyes again and took a proper look first at his own body

He was lying on a bed, his coat and pants had been removed leaving him half naked in a new underwear and on this underwear, he could smell a distinct scent.

“Human” Ushar’s face went red on realizing this as great embarrassment welled up in him. “Wait, I am embarrassed, humans made me embarrassed.” Ushar embarrassment immediately gave way to rage.

How could the weak pathetic humans make him feel embarrassed?

“Who changed my coat!” Ushar screamed raising both hands and slamming them down into his bed which immediately shattered collapsing into the ground and he sprang up.

Many tubes connected to his body were violently torn on, sparks of electricity flying around but Ushar did not care a bit as the few wounds on his body healed immediately after they appeared and he blasted forwards slamming a violent punch into the wall but he only staggered back as the wall stood strong and his fist stung.

Even angrier, Ushar screamed in mad rage, “You think this is enough to stop me, I am Ushar, the son Axim, the Blood King, you pesky humans dare not stand in my way!” He screamed as bone materialized all over his arm and he sent another punch into the wall, far more violent than before and now, a web of cracks spread out on the wall.

Behind this wall, Ushar could not hear footsteps moving about chaotically and he grinned evilly as he slammed another punch into the wall which shattered sending slabs flying everywhere as he screamed on, “be afraid, tremble! That is what you should do before the Prince of the Blood Kingdom!”

Another punch impacted the wall but this time, a soft sonorous sound travelled through the trembling room and Ushar staggered back in surprise, there in the wall, a neat layer of metal had been revealed embedded in the wall.

“Metal, you think metal will stop me!” Ushar roared as his body began to bulge, his bone amour turned thicker melding into each other like a real layer of skin which covered every single part of his body except for his hair. Two rows of bone spikes ran down his front and a single row down his back as he turned into his ultimate form.

Blasting forwards with terrifying power, he screamed, “You can’t stop me!”

When Ushar punch impacted the metallic layer, it was immediately torn apart as Ushar fist stayed in it stuck but with his other hand; he pushed back the metallic layer which seems only to be barely one millimeter thick.

After extricating his hand, Ushar grabbed into both side of the wall tearing it apart and then he walked out just in time for a part of the ceiling above to open letting in the sunlight and Ushar immediately collapsed into the ground, his whole being trembling from pain as sweat dripped off his skin.

“How dare you!” He spoke through gritted mouth, pain aggravating his rage which seems to then conquer the pain somewhat as he tried to stand but from behind, something pierced through his neck and Ushar immediately felt his consciousness slipping away.
