Aluzar, entered the huge cave at the mountain foot, he casually walked through the darkness, because of his vampiric vision he could see perfectly in the dark. His ruby red eyes, platin silver hair and pale white skin are glowing and shimmering, in the pitch dark cave.
Supreme pure blood vampires are all born with those characteristics, similar to albinism but more developed. The Pale white skin is shimmering, because of the lack of melanin, altough, he can stay in the the sun for a few hours, he will get several terrible burns, if he has direct skin contact with sunrays. The Reason he could move in broad daylight, was because of the large shadows from the trees.
His ruby red eyes could see flawlessly in the dark, but when it´s daytime he saw only blurry figures, shades and contours, he had to rely on his vampiric senses to make it to the mountain foot and the answer to why he didn´t travel at night is because, when he caught a glimpse of the forest, at the beginning of his adventure, he saw creatures several times larger than the bear beast, or any monster he encountered before, thus he decided to travel when the sunlight was up and in the hope of not meeting one of those colossal monster, because if he would, he would be in serious trouble, not like when he met those small fry beasts, but in a life and death situation.
Supreme pure blood vampires are not invincible they will die when, beheaded, burned to ashes, or impaled through the heart.
He strolled through the ernormous cave and inspected every inch of the cave. On the walls were mysterious glyphs and paintings. The young boy tried to decipher the symbols, but could only assume what was conveyed on the walls. A serpent with mutiple heads and wings, flying over humans and humanoid looking beings while devouring them, were depicted on the wallpaintings. Aluzar, could only guessed that it had something to do with a very powerful creature.
The Child walked further into the dark cave, a cold breeze fluttered through the air, as he arrived before a massive black gate, engraved with strange runes, he felt a powerful energy behind the heavy doors. He gave a shot at moving the doors with raw strength, but it didn´t advanced a single centimeter from it´s position. Next he tried moving it with his telekinesis, but still there was no reaction or even a sound indicating it moved a bit.
The little boy was at his wits end and didn´t know what to do anymore, then he had an idea, he put both his hands on the double doors and poured his whole mana into them. Suddenly, the runes began to glow in a clomplex circle formation, in the middle a hexagon interwined with circled runes. He began to push again, but it still didn´t moved.
Aluzar was really annoyed, not only he felt very fatigued now, but also has an incredible painful headache, it seems the magic circle drained more mana out than he had and still didn´t allowed him to enter. The young child was furious, he wanted to know at all costs, which secrets those doors are holding. He mustered all his consciouness, ignored the searing pain in his head and applying his telekinesis again on the heavy metallic doors, while pushing with everything his body got to offer, against the gigantic weights. Aluzar, desperately leaned against the colossal gates, but it still didn´t budge an inch.
Now he had one last resort, the boy pushed his body over it´s limits.
His muscle fibers expanded, till his slender arms and legs were bursting blood, from small rips across his limbs.
The bleeding child didn´t stop there, he concentrated his mind and soul, exceeding the limits of his current mental capacity, blood dripped from his nose on the cold stone floor in increasing intervals. The blood drenched boy burned out his body and was in horrible pain, it was like a million hot needles piercing his body and brain simultaenously, with every second his conscousness slipped away, little by little, bit by bit.
Finally the heavy doors moved, until a small gap was opened, by the exhausted Aluzar. The Vacuum broke and sucked in the kneeling child into the room, he crash landed on the hard floor and tried standing up, with his awareness on the brink of breaking down, out of nowhere he heard a female voice,
“ Hahaha....tandem aliquis habet nos liberatum von habere aeternalis ergastulum...”
Without hearing the whole foreign speech, he blacked out from exhaustion and immense pain. In his deep coma he found himself in a white space floating around like space garbage and in a flash, a giant eight headed black serpent appeared in front of him,
“ Oh, what do we have here, you look tottaly different from what i have seen outside your head, what a suprise”
It is true that Aluzar had a body of six year old child, but his soul and mind is still that of a 8000 years old supreme pure blood vampire, thus his appearance is also former to that, when he was on earth in his mind.
“ Let us introduce ourself first, we are Saput Octo Kalamitas, the eight headed serpent of disaster, we are eternally in your debt young one for freeing our soul from this prison, even after our death our spirit couldn´t escaped this room, those foolish gods think they are allmighty, always fighting each other, but when something poses a serious thread to them, they set up a cowardly trap and didn´t even spared our soul, but you child freed us and we can finally enter the river of reincarnation.”
Aluzar was at first puzzeled by his former appearance, but regained his composure when he realized that he was deep in his subconscious of his mind and spoke with a curios tone,
“ I am Aluzar Refizul Hochstern, how come you can speak my language”
The eight headed serpent hissed and wiggled all her heads, all over around the handsome man while answering,
“ Hmm...Interesting, you don´t seem to be from here, we have never seen your race are you maybe from a different continent? Ah, also the answer to your question, aren´t we inside your mind, we can talk here without a language barrier, because you processed our thoughts into an understandable context, allowing us to converse with each other. Now, on a different issue, could you tell us how the outside world changed, before we enter the grand river of reincarnation.”
Upon listening to the explanation and question he could only helplessly frown, because he didn´t knew shit about, how the world has changed and he didn´t want to lie to someone, who was about to leave this realm, thus he answered in all honesty.
Even Aluzar knew what the great river of reincarnation was, the knowledge was handed down from generation to generation, if someone from their own entered their eternal sleep they left their knowledge in their soul power, leaving only the pure soul headed towards the great river of reincarnation.
Soul power was the mental strength and knowledge an individual gained at operating his body and mind, in order to draw out the maximale power from both, or even beyond, destroying the vessel, if someone did not had enough soul power.
The Wisdom someone amassed could also be absorbed too, it is like the physical wealth collected through out ones life.
Since Aluzar was the last supreme pure blood vampire he possessed all the wisdom and knowledge handed down from his ancestors, but burning out his young body was very risky, ending in a comatose state was highly dangerous, maybe he will never be able to wake up again.
He drove that thought out of his mind, he didn´t entered his eternal sleep yet, so he could try to find a way out of his coma, for a few centuries, because his body entered into hibernation, it was similar to the eternal sleep but not absolute.
When a supreme pure blood vampire entered his final sleep he would have been fataly wounded in a fight, but that was unlikely, since they were the apex predator, evolution developed, on earth, thus the second reason would be, that they were tired of living through dozens of millennia and entered the so called eternal sleep.
Seperating the soul from the body, while transferring their last will to a chosen successor, then entering the great river of reincarnation in order to be reborn as something else. The Last will, was the soul power and wisdom collected from the person, also how their kind should proceed from then on, although, Aluzar was the youngest of them he didn´t received any directive, or advice only messages like, “ do what you want, but don´t enter your final sleep.”, or “ have fun with your eternal life or better said eternal boredom, hahaha.”
With those mocking messages they left him to be the last of their kind, recalling those irresponsible action he could only sighed on how enough time could change someones behavior, from decent and dignified to depressed and willing to do anything to escape a boring life, even pushing everything onto the youngest one.
He glanced at the eight headed serpent, Saput Octo Kalamitas and spoke in a soft voice,
“ I´m sorry Saput, I am really not from here and I am not even from another continent. Since you will enter the great river of reincarnation. I can tell you where I am from. I came from another universe, where there is no mana and technology is more advanced, unlike here. I am a supreme pure blood vampire, a so called monster in my former world, but here I´m one among many, although, I arrived here, I can´t tell you any details on how the world had changed, only that we are surounded by a vast forest, theres nothing more I can tell you.”
Hearing such an answer the eight headed serpent wiggled her giant heads even more intense around him and said in a happy high pitch voice,
“ Oh, how unexpected. Never in our dreams we thought, we would be meeting someone from another universe, that should explain why you look different in your mind, eventhough, we heard about vampires, we never heard about supreme pure blood vampires, your soul must be pretty strong it was really hard to get through your mind defense and you were seriously weakened. Well, since you don´t know anything about this world, we will give you our knowledge collected from our mind as a gift for freeing us.”
Before Saput could do that, he immediately answered hurriedly,
“ I thank you for your offer, but I must decline. I want to discover this world on my own and it would spoil my fun.”
Aluzar didn´t want any spoilers ruining his discoveries, he wanted to explore those things on his own. The eight headed serpent, was dumbfounded and spoke in an amazed tone,
“ You are really a strange one, well it can´t be helped, but we really want to give you something hmmm.... Oh we know, we will help you get out from your coma and give you knowledge about this world languages, eventhough, it is really similar to yours, but it will help you understand, read and write every language spoken on this world and we insist on it, that is the least we can give to you.”
Aluzar frowned a little and finally gave in, after accepting this reward, a flood of information entered into his consciousness and he saw everything clearly becoming darker and a stinging pain began surging from his limbs and brain.
He opened, his eyes and rolled up and down on the cold floor in pain, holding his scream inside him. The Boy felt an agonizing pain as if billions of tiny little welding torches were lit up inside his muscle fibers and brain matter.
His regeneration kicked in before he blacked out and went to hibernation, it was a life sustaining measure instinctively issued from his body, keeping him from more exhaustion and dying. The small boy wanted to scream in pain venting everything out, but his pride didn´t allowed it and took every second of insane pain silently without even making a single sound.
A few minutes passed, but for him it was as long as he was alive, such pain was new to him since he never exceeded his limits.
It was good that his body regenerated so fast, but it was connected with mind breaking pain, when heavily wounded.
The Pain, slowly subsided an the young one stood up, still shakey from the pain,
“ Good, that went well. So Aluzar, you can have everything inside this damn traphole. Those Gods lured us in with the promise of power and providing a safe nest and tricked us, in sealing this room with chests, filled with shiny things that are useless to us. We would have taken our revenge, if you would have come 2000 years earlier, before our mana was used up for providing us with air. Such a pity, but with our last ounce of strength, we layed a fertilized egg, unfortunately we didn´t had the chance to hatch it, since it would have instantly died in this room, but we will transfer our soul power to this egg.
We have one last request, please hatch this egg and guide this child. We know this is bit sudden and imposing, but nourish it with your mana and this child will recognize you as it´s master when hatched, thus it is not a bad deal, don´t you think so.”
Aluzar was collecting his thoughts and weighted the advantaged and disadvantaged from this deal, having a servant, free of charge, was very alluring, but something bothered him a little,
“ So Saput, you can´t take your revenge personally anymore, but you intend to send your child to accomplish it and I should help guiding it to achieve your goal, in return it will be my servant. I don´t think, that I will benefit much from it, don´t you think so.”
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
With a pained, cramped smile he spoke those words. A disembodied female laughter of different voices, reverberated through the dark room,
“ HaHa-hoho-hehe-hihi-HAHA-keke-kiki-kaka... You are realy wise, but anyone with little insight could have seen through it. Well, since it can´t be helped in anyway, we can´t do anything about it.”
Saput, couldn´t finished her speech, because Aluzar interrupted her,
“ You don´t seem to understand, I didn´t declined your offer, I just pointed out that it won´t affect me either way, because I already calculated that those so called gods, will get in my ways, sooner or later. It´s just a little hassle to train a new servant and a serpent at that, before they interfere with me and right now I am not confident enough in my powers to go against them, but with time that will change.”
The eight headed serpent, was astonished, by the little boy speaking those words,
“ Hoo, you really thought it out, even considering the possibilities. Well, now it´s time for us to depart, thus we wish you good fortune on your journeys and please take good care of our child. Farewell.”
Suddenly, Aluzar realized something, how could she have known about the smilarities of their languages and she mentioned something about vampires in this world, he immediately shouted,
“ Hey, how did you knew about my language and you said their are vampires here too, can you tell me more about them.”
Upon those questions she said in a mischievously tone,
“ Oh, about that, I saw a little of your memories and about the latter, didn´t you want to find out everything by yourself, hehehe.”
With those last words she fell silent, the boy called out to her many times, but was answered with silence. He was enraged and curses slipped through his mouth,
“ Fuck, fuck, that shitty serpent bitch, maybe I will just make eight headed serpent egg omlette, fuck you Saput.”
Calming down from his sudden rage, he looked around the dark room and saw a dozen treasure chests, distributed in all four corners of the room, in the middle of the grand room was a eight headed serpent lying their with no signs of life, obviously because Saput was already dead for a long time. The Lifeless body seems to be wriggled around something, the corpse didn´t began to rot until now, because of the vacuum, the boy smirked mischievously,
“ I can have everything in this room you said, mmhahaha, damn serpent bitch for looking into my memories, I will devour your meat and feed it to your child, hehehe.”
He staggered to the 300 meter huge wriggled up serpent and stored it in his interspatial ring, leaving only a, 40 cm long and 20 cm in width pitch black egg. The Boy lifted the egg that was almost half as big as him, from the floor and made his sleeping mat appear on the ground, rolled it out, put the egg down on the soft fur and layed himself besides it.
Aluzar couldn´t infused the egg with his mana right away. The Reason was that he spended everything infusing the magic circle, even after awakening from his short coma, he was still extremely exhausted and the phantom pain, from his limbs and brain tormented him to sleep. He closed his eyes, in the hope of not dreaming anything about his past. He slowly fell into a deep slumber.
He found himself in the white space again and felt a presence so powerful it sended a chill down his spine, a gentle voice rang through out the white space,
“ Greetings my child. I think you don´t need an introduction, you should know who I am. I am everything and nothing, I am someone and anyone, I am the creator of creators.”
Aluzar was petrified for a moment and needed sometime to reply in a humble voice,
“ Great creator of creators, it´s a pleasure to meet you, why is a great existent like you, allowing someone such as me to converse with you.”
The Supreme pure blood vampire was at it´s humblest attitude, because in front of an omnipotent being, that created everything that existed, he was surely less insignificant than a roach.
“ Hahahaha...Oh young one, just drop the formalities. I know you very well, you can´t hide anything from me, you know.”
Aluzar could only express a wry smile and the disembodied voice that was neither male or female continued,
“ So let us continue on our matter, theirs no particular reason I proposed to you to come here. Well I could have forcebily send you here, but since you are part of my beloved first creation and your race was born from the seeds of life I sowed through out your former universe, I cherish every single being. Even you, although, your ways of thinking is really extreme in an others eyes. I still can understand your feelings, even if I know everything happening in the countless universes.
The Feeling of boredom is really dreadful. Well, I just came to say that you can live it up in this universe. Just do what you want and yeah, when you get out of that cave, turn right and head straight through the forest, you will reach a small village. Now, I will answer one question from you as a small gift.”
Aluzar eyes widened and immidiately asked,
“ I don´t quite understand, why your greatness is helping me ? I never completed a feet, worthy of your present that is my only question.”
The Omnipotent presence hesitated for a moment,
“ Well, this universe was a side project and it accidently created gods from faith of the inhabitants. Since I refrain to interfere to much, I won´t destroy those lives, but since those so called gods are really full of themselves, I well .....send you as a plague to teach them a lesson and it seemed entertaining. Oh god look how late it has become, hahaha, it was a pleasure to talk with you, but I have to go now, hahaha, I will be watchin, bye.”
Whithout even a blink of an eye the presence was gone. Aluzar floated in the white space, with a dumbfounded expression, while everything around him grew darker, till he opened his eyes still with the same dumbfounded look on his face.
The Small boy, sighed,
“ I shouldn´t have asked in the first place.”
With those words he locked this revelation, deep inside his mental graveyard. He stood up feeling refreshed he got hold of the egg, laying besides him and sat crossed legged in front of it. He channeled his mana, sending it to the pitch black egg, it absorbed the mana instantly.
Aluzar didn´t wanted to do a half ass job, stopping periodically to take a break, thus he put himsel in a trance, allowing him to contantly supply the unhatched egg and replenishing his mana, it also helped him to strengthen his mana pool, so it was like killing two birds with one stone.
He incidentally roasted some meat to eat ,directly with fire from his palm, to sate his hunger. This Routine continued some time without daylight or a watch, he could only guessed that it was around a few weeks since he nourished this egg with his mana.
The pitch black egg jiggled, the shell slowly cracked open and multiple small heads around 3 cm big poked out of the egg, with hissing sounds the 1. 50 meter long, eight headed baby serpent untangled itself and spread it´s leathery wings, spanning alltogether 2 meters.
The eight headed serpent was pitch black and 6 cm width, it had beautiful emerald green eyes on all its heads. It looked at the 1.21 meter tall boy, while looking around his suroundings with its other heads. Aluzar was amused, hatching the egg gave him a feeling of pride,
“ Now , since you are my first servant, you are part of my household. I will give you the name, Azariah Octo Kalamitas”
As he finished a magic circle formed around them, illuminating the dark room, they both began to glow and translucent collars appeared on the necks of the eight headed serpent, then dimmed into darkness. A soft feminin sound of multiple voices resounded in the head of the boy, talking bits of the sentence and letting the other voices continue,
“ We will-ssserve you-for all -our life-till we-will die-pleassse take-care of ussss massster.”
He was suprised that he could communicate, so early with his new servant, he thought that it would take some time, so he inquired,
“ Why can you speak right away, after your birth, is your race something special.”
Thereupon, the baby serpent answered in the same manner as before,
“ We are- an exsstinct-racssse of-magical beasstss-from what-we know-from mothersss-memoriesss we-are the-lassst of-our kind-and sssincsse-we formed-a masster and-ssservant contract-it wass-automatically formed-after giving-our conssent-thuss we-can conversse-tsshrough our-mindss becausse-we are-now connected-by the contract.”
After answering his questions the black serpent wrapped around Aluzars small waist and upper body, till he was completely covered by the snake. Her eight heads were divided to four heads, stacked in two rows on each of his small shoulders, looking like pauldrons covering his shoulder. Her eyes gleaming emerald green and her black skin was smooth and soft. He had no difficulties moving around with the serpent enwrapped around him, so he didn´t care much, but for Azariah it was measures to protect her master, even if there were no individuals in the vicinity, except for them.
The small child not giving any thoughts about that matter, rolled up his sleeping mat and stored it away. He walked to a corner of the room, where four of the twelve treasure chests were located, there were no locks on the chests, he tried to open one but couldn´t, thus he infused it with his mana and the lid gaped.
He pushed the lid back and rusty weapons revealed itself to him, the boy was perplexed, he opened every box in the room anf it was filled with miscancellous goods, he thought that Saput was obviously scammed to death and said to Azariah,
“ You know, I think your mother was not so bright in the head, because these shiny things is useless scrap metal, well even scrap metal has it´s uses”
He stored the goods and chests seperately, because the boxes were more useful than the scrap metal, as he finished Azariahs voices rang out,
“ I finisshed-going thssrough-my mothersss-memoriess and- i mussst-agree withss-masster, ssshe-wass too-naive believing-the godss- I am embarrassssed.”
The little boy shook his head from right to left and said,
“ What a tragedy, well since i freed her, your mothers soul found salvation, the time will come when you will get your vendetta and avenge your mother.”
Azariah wiggled with her heads on his shoulder hissing and said in a cold voices,
“ Yesss massster-i will wait-patssiently when-the time-comesss.”
He released from his interspatial ring, the huge 300 meter curled up eight headed serpent and spoke in a cold manner,
“Now I will bisect your mothers corpse and her flesh and skin, will be used as food and clothes. I think your mother will be very pleased to be able to nourish you, even after her death , don´t you agree.”
The baby serpent replied,
“ I´m moved-by massterss-thinking I will-gratefully acsscept-massterss genourisssity.”
Aluzar smirked with a feeling of accomplishment, he tried to cut through the black scales with his clawmorphed index finger, but it remained unscathed, his lttle eyebrow twiched and his curiosity was awakened, he tried it on different spots but was rewarded with the same result.
The Boy was brooding how he could cut trough and Azariah tried to help him, but was stopped by him, because he wanted to find it out by himself and he got an idea. He focused his mana into the tip of his indexfinger claw and tried again and it was successful. The small child, skinned the huge snake with a lot of effort, removed the innards and organs and found out that each head held a magic core in the size if his head. He also found poison sacks in each head.
As he finished, he stored everything away, besides the skin. He began to cut out patterns for a hooded cloack, the boy sewed with trouble and trial a magnificient pitch black snake skin cloak. It was simple but the scales made it look beautiful,
“ Now it´s time to mingle with the inhabitants of this world.”
His evil grin flashed through the darkness of the room, because of his flawless pearl white teeth, as he walked to the exit of the cave.
