Prologue:
The great knight Arthur charged forth against the dragon. His armour gleaming in the light as he rode his mighty steed against the dragon. The dragon reared and unleashed a blast of fire against them. The horse tripped and fell over.
Arthur leapt off the horse and over the flames. He kept running as he drew his sword. Taking a deep breath Aurther rammed his sword into the dragons hide. The dragon roaredand swatted the knight away from him. Author rolled and stood up.
He drew a small dagger from his belt and charged the dragon. The dragon roared and…
"Julian!" Julian Valaro groaned and put his small figures down. His mom was calling him from the kitchen. Julian got up off the floor of his room and walked down to the kitchen. His mother was cleaning plates in the candlelight. His father was drinking a cup of tea at the table. His mother turned and smiled at Julian.
"You're a feather head." Julian stopped for a second then turned and opened the back door. "The bucket." His mother smiled and shook her head. Julian stepped outside and drew a deep breath. The night was like any other.
Quiet. Peaceful. The moon shone illuminating the small village where Julian lived. Julian could see allot of people gathered in the town square.
Julian had assumed it was some gathering or festival. His parents had told him however that he wasn't to go near the town tonight but they didn't say why. Julian was quite small and was very thin. Sickly thin. His hair was long, unkempt, and blond.
It hung in thin strands across his face. His green eyes left the town and found the barn. Moving with confidence through the dark he walked toward the barn doors. His mother had asked him to bring in the bucket he had left while feeding the cows.
Julian loved the smell of the barn. It made him relax and it felt like home. He approached their cow.
"Hey girl" he said smiling. The cow looked at him and leaned forward when he reached his hand forward and petted her head. Julian smiled. He loved how Linzy did this. He moved on from her and found the bucket in the corner.
As he reached down he thought he smelt something. Smells like smoke. Julian was instantly on alert. A fire could be disastrous for the village. Quickly he picked up the bucket and filled it with water from the small well in the corner of the barn. He raced outside with the bucket.
When he got outside he, he bore witness to one of the most shocking things he had ever seen. The village was on fire. Every house was suffocating in black flames. A thick black liquid and a deep red liquid stained the ground. They mixed forming sick dark red patterns.
Julian gasped. The red liquid was blood. Panicking he ran to his house. The smoke from the fire pulsed. He tried to get near the house but is father burst forward. He was covered in the thick black liquid. "Monster!" he screamed falling to his knees.
His faced fell to his hands. Julian ran and hugged him. The liquid stuck to Julian and wiggled disgustingly down his back and chest. His father grasped Julian desperately. A look of relief overtook his sadness. "Julian… You're okay… You're okay…" he breathed through tears.
"Dad what happened?" Julian asked "Where's momma?" the man shook as sobs overtook him.
"She was murdered." Julian's heart stopped. His mother, dead. He couldn't believe it. He clutched his father and cried. His heart felt hollow like all the joy and love had been sucked out. Soon something else filled his heart.
Anger. Pure buring rage and hate. The hot fury set fire to his blood. He thought he would die with all the hate in his veins. He didn't know how long he was crying but eventually he asked through hate filled tears.
"Who..?" His father didn't need to hear anymore. "An evil creature" Julian could feel the anger behind the words. It amplified his own anger. He wanted to find this creature and kill it. His father read his thoughts.
"We'll kill him. We'll kill them all."
Author's notes:
I know you were expecting the next chapter of Lords but this has been eating away at me for ages. I am not satisfied with silver fangs so I am re-posting it as a new story. "Darkness." I'm sorry to disappoint you but I can't keep writing new stuff knowing I did a half-assed job on one of my stories.
So I'm going to do what my favorite author did when she wasn't satisfied with her story. Re-post it and correct all the mistakes and improve on the quality. (My favorite author is the Muse of Fanfiction. Check her out if you like Greek mythology.) Anyway I'm sorry to disappoint you guys again but know that it won't just be a rewriting of the story with more descriptions and better grammar.
I'll be changing how events play out and there will be more chapters with new story arcs however the overall plot will remain the same.
If you're new I won't read Silver-fangs if you don't want the story spoiled. Thanks for the favs follows and reviews. They really help out. I thsnk you also for you're patience with me and I'm very sorry again.
Until next time!
