Lelutheus

Walking down the wretched path I took wondering why I am in a war with Hecate and her Harpies. Here I am a vampire, one of the first originals and the only one left alive. Tonight we feed before the battle against Hecate and her Harpies. I shall kill her during this battle I had thought to myself, as the heard of vampires and I head into the town before we kill, I give the commands. I gave the signal to feed.
I ran to the first house I had spotted. CRACK! I had kicked the door open. Grabbed the first person I could and sank my teeth right in his neck. The taste of warm thick luscious blood was nice couldn’t have tasted better. I sucked him dry, he wasn’t fulfilling enough to satisfy my craving for blood. So I ran out onto the street to find another one to feed off of.
I knocked down a woman running. She had a piercing scream that was so painfully annoying to make me smack her. SMACK! I had backhanded her across her face. “SHUT UP!” I had screamed in her face. Then my craving of blood took over then I had swiftly sunk my fangs as if I had no control into her neck, they went through her flesh like it was butter. Sucking the blood and life out of her my cravings were being satisfied.
I licked the warm thick blood off my lips. Then I happened to notice a man charging at me with a sword as if he were angered and merciless. I ripped my sword as quick as I could out of its sheath. He tried to strike me with an upper blow but I had blocked it with my sword.
I had retaliated with anger of him wanting to kill but deep down I knew that he couldn’t kill me no matter how hard he tried to. Relentlessly I stroke swiftly with great force stronger than 10 built men, he tried to block but my sword sliced right through his and cutting off part of his arm and all of his hand.
Screaming in pain he dropped the other part of the sword. Without mercy I had spun around and sliced his head clean off his bulky shoulders. Beautiful I said to myself.
After the headless corpse had fallen to the ground so lifelessly. I knelt down and felt the edge of his neck where the sword had took his head off his shoulders. The edge was as smooth as freshly cut glass. This is the best sword I had ever received I had said in my head as I was sliding my sword back into its sheath.
“LET’S GO!” I yelled to the heard. Running as fast as I could back to the gathering grounds. As we headed back to the gathering grounds, where we rest and train for battle and basic self defense I had noticed that this was a long run but peaceful one with moon shining brightly upon the heard and I.
We had reached the gathering grounds, I went for a visit in my father’s tomb, he died in the last battle we had with Hecate. As I sat looking at his mark of honor I had screamed “I must avenge my father!” This is enough it angers me too much I have got to go see my mothers tomb.
I had reached my mothers tomb it was covered with vines and moss. As looking at the pentagram where her name was engraved , I remembered that her body was not beneath the soil, but her ashes or remains from being burned at stake. I started to feel my blood boil and then the anger and hate had risen up in me. CRACK! Before I knew it I had punched the wall. “Um are u okay?” a figure of a man appeared behind me. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” I yelled. “I heard something so I went to check what it was, sorry to bother you.” He said in concern. “It’s okay.” I said softly, but then the pain of losing my parents took me over and then the hot burning tears rolled down my face.
The man had walked towards me and sat beside me and said “Don’t worry about the past, worry about what is to come.” He said with care as he put his arm around me to comfort me. After wiping the tears from my face I asked “What is your name?” “Flaek Deadwood and you?” he asked with delight. “Oh you’re the original, nice to meet you , and your Lelutheus, I had seen pictures of you and heard great things but you look even better in person.” He had said with joy.
I had grabbed him by his throat and thrusted him up in the air and started to shake him violently. “WHY ARE YOU SAYING THINGS YOU DON’T MEAN, WHEN I EVEN KNOW YOU’RE LYING?”I yelled. “S-sorry and I wasn’t lying I was telling you my opinion.” He stammered. “Well I didn’t ask for it now did I?” I said with a calmer tone. “Well then I was telling you the truth.” He said with defense. I dropped him from the air.
Then I heard screaming outside, so I ran out to come to my horror that Hecate and her Harpies were attacking us at the gathering grounds. I grabbed my sheath and ripped my sword out of the sheath and charged at Hecate with no mercy I stroke at her arm, slicing it in two. Screaming with anger she charged at me. She slammed me into the ground.
Then she came at me with her sword. I blocked her attack with my sword. “Now its time to die.” She hissed in my ear. Then she moved quickly and sliced my chest. Pain shot through out my body. She pulled a knife out and stabbed my arm. I started to bleed heavily. Remembering that she killed my parents’ strength had come into me more than I could ever imagine.
WHAM! I had kicked her so hard into her torso that she lost her breath. Then as she was gasping for air, she screamed in pain. I saw hands grabbing the sword in her back. Who was that with the sword, then as her lifeless body had fallen to the blood soaked ground.
It was Flaek! I couldn’t’ believe he helped me. I thank him dearly. “Thank you so much.” I had said to him. Then before we knew the war was over. The left over Harpies were taken prisoner and eventually killed or slaughtered either way they were eliminated.
Today was seven sunsets after the war ended. I was sitting on my thrown till Flaek showed up. He smiled and spoke to me in a tone I have never heard him speak to me in. “Lelutheus, I cannot hold my feelings in anymore, I savor this moment, I love you so much that it hurts to think that you do not feel the same way enough that I cannot bare to live on if you don’t , I love you and I will always love you even through death, I love you so much that the sun doesn’t shine as bright as my love shines for you, I love you but then do you love me?”
“No I will not confess and I will never love any one and it is not like I don’t love you but you’re a demon and I am a vampire it is not right to mix species, it is breaking the chain of the originals in order to breed pure. I am sorry to say that I can’t but I would if I could.” I had said with concern. “I do not wish to question your ways but if you loved someone wouldn’t you see past that, I know you love me!” he said with confusion.
“I do but I must not but then I will any way forever no matter what happens I never will love another person as much as I love you right now.” I said with joy.
Then we got married three days letter with a tribal ceremony with the mix of species. We lived together; I had turned him into hybrid a half demon half vampire stronger than both. Since he was the strongest he took the thrown and I sat next to him in mine but he had full power and it was his turn to rain as leader. We lived together until one day he died. Then the same day I killed myself, I speak of my story in my after life with him where no one is a leader but everyone lives on forever and happy with honor, may we live in peace this is all I will there more say. |
