Chapter 1: Reluctance (Arikado/Alucard's POV)
To me, centuries seem to pass like months. Since my rescuing of Richter and once again defeating my father, I submerged into slumber, just to rise again in 1999 to aid Richter's descendant, Julius. I admit, I grow tired of my constant battle with my immortal father but my vow to my mother made me steadfast. The battle between Julius and my father intensified by the moment…..Then I heard and saw the downfall of my father, his power shattering like glass. I recall the prophecy of 2035 and it was something I was not looking forward to. I left once the battle was over; making sure that Julius was tended to in the nearest hospital. Once again, I slumbered until 2017. I rose and joined the agency, my first assignment, to travel to Spain, where sources sensed my father's power amongst the living.
I made it to Spain without a delay and followed the presence of power. It led me to Penalara, to the mountains, where hidden, was a beautiful mountain home over looking a lake. I took pains not to be seen, transforming into mist then wolf once I reached where the power was strongest. I looked into the window, watched as a beautiful woman in a rocking chair and singing a lullaby to her new baby. The baby was a sight, angelic with a tuft of snow white hair and pale….But within, I saw two auras….one of blue and pure (this was the child's) and the other, of red and corruption (this was my father's). The woman hugged her baby and after placing him into his crib, kissed him goodnight and left the room. I let myself in and materialized before the child. Surprisingly, he didn't cry. I picked up the child gently, as the mother had and looked down at him. The child looked up at me, slightly opening silver blue eyes. I couldn't resist a smile. Yes the child had a battle and a destiny ahead of him but with the right guidance, it wouldn't be dark.
"So, you're the reason I've risen again." I whispered as I sat in the rocking chair with the little one in my arms. "Who would have thought one so small could harness such power. You have a long way to go, I could kill you easily, end it here and now but, I will not kill an innocent. Please, I beg you, don't force me to." I felt a blood tinged tear fall from my face and land on the baby's cheek. The baby reached for me while I wiped away the tear. I placed a finger into the tiny palm and chuckled when it was held in a gentle grip. I stood up and looked around the room. This is a very loving home. I thought. I saw a book on the table. It was a journal, written in legible yet elegant lettering. So, the father's a record keeper. That's good. I read today's entry and smiled. The child's name suited him.
"Soma," I whispered. The child looked at me and gurgled. You're a smart one. I thought. I was fond of the child already. I placed the child back into his crib and after placing a kiss of my own onto the child's forehead, I took my leave.
Soma Cruz, we will meet again.
Yea, I know it's short, but more to come. Review to find out.
