-What's a man without suffering?

The question rang like a siren – preventing the male from resting. To suffer was to build more depth into one's character; either fueling his wisdom or his rage. One would choose which side to feed each time their heart had been wounded. Such thoughts lingered, leaving a bad taste within his mouth - the flavor of guilt. Heavy eyes of gold and silver focused upon the twin moons gracing the sky with its colors of magenta and ice blue in the night sky as he rested on a rather flimsy roof. With his arms crossed behind his head, the redhead tried to ease his troubled heart.

The enemy – they came in with the sound of thunder crashing behind them. Without a warning or a shred of mercy, they set the kingdom into a sea of flames. The walls around Alexandria fell and to prevent further bloodshed, a life had been forfeited. Her gentle touch slowly slipped from his fingertips as they pulled her away before his very eyes. The moment tested his usually calm demeanor. The aroma of blossoms, her sweet loving voice – she was gone. Garnet bravely gave herself to the enemy for the sake of her kingdom and he did nothing but stand there.

The image of her forcing a smile angered the anxious young man. Gritting his teeth as he clenched it upon his lower lip, Alucard sat up with his legs curled but spread far apart.

"This is not my war." The words left his battered lips softly. A deep sigh released the tension growing within his shoulders as his eyes focused upon his bloodied knuckles. Turning his hand around, he stared at his opened palm in disgust.

"…What's a man without suffering?" He inquired once more before clenching his hand into a tight fist. Would he act out of wisdom or allow it to excite the angry beast within? The world had betrayed him many times before. His forsaken eye color had given him a life hard to bear. Why couldn't he just fall into temptation? Why choose the more difficult path of being a good person instead of one that was selfish and uncaring? Prompting his head, two toned optics focused upon the heavenly bodies in the black sky as if they would answer him.

"What's a kingdom without its queen?"

His eyebrows furrowed as he continued down the searching path.

"What's a man without…love?"


I already have a few chapters done. This was a small intro to see where the story will go. But, I am starting chapter one from the beginning. I hope you enjoy this.
