This story pooped into my head while I was watching a few videos and fooling around on the internet while waiting for the premiere of True Blood to start a couple of weeks ago. Eric is my favorite character in the series (Alexander Skarsgard=yum) so I knew I wanted to do a FF with him as one of the central characters. So, here you have it.
'Young men err in everything by excess and vehemence, contrary to the precept of Chilon; they do all things too much, since they love and hate too much, and likewise in everything else. They fancy and insist that they know all things, and this is why they overdo everything.' –Aristotle

I must say, I never expected myself to be here, in this situation. Especially when I found myself faced with my own immortal mortality. After millennia of being alive and walking this earth, I began to believe that I had finally come face to face with my demise. I had always known that the 'Great Revelation' would only cause trouble.
But then he showed up, riding in on his white horse with the little human girl to save his creator. Though, what he thought a human girl could do, except attract even more problems, is beyond me. And, once he saved his creator, he looked over and saw me. And as he puts it 'felt the urge to save such an old soul from a horrible fate.'
Well, in all of the years I have walked this earth, I must say that I had never been met with such a vampire who would go out of his way to put himself and his companions back in danger to save one of his kind who he didn't even know. It was quite shocking.
Though, Eric Northman continues to surprise me even to this day.
And that is no easy feat to do.
So, it's short, but this is just the prologue. All will be explained in the chapters to come, I promise.
