Hey ho everyone. Just a note to say that I don't own them at all (duh!) and i'd
like to thank XI for beta-ing for me. This is just the start but i can tell you
now there will be lemons, yaoi ones too and blood. so you have been warned!
No lemons or anything this chapter though so you've got a while still. Take care
now. Sam xxx
My eyes gaze in wonder along the bright lights of my city. I now watch the
most advanced city of the world, under my control. It is purely amazing how
much technology had changed over the years. Yes, times have changed from
the old days when evil beings ruled. My mind switches to the past ruler of
this glorious city: my old enemy, Adel. She was definitely insane, gone mad
with the power. That's the difference between her and me: I'm not insane.
I care for my people and their welfare; as long as they live in the peace
that should have been in this world a long time ago, then I'm happy.
Personally, I don't care about how the people see me; they may think I'm a
coward and an idiot, but I'm good to them. They don't know the life I've
led, and I'm glad of it; I wouldn't wish the horrors of my life on anyone.
True, my son and his comrades saw snippets of my days during the war, but
that was only a fraction of what I went through. I am a lot older than I
seem...older than anyone would think possible...
My office looks out over my city; I stare at my reflection presented to me
from the dome around it. I smirk, pushing back a stray strand of hair that
falls into my eyes. Contrary to popular belief, my kind can see ourselves
in mirrors; my kind can walk in sunlight and not burn to a crisp. I don't
flinch at the sight of a cross, and garlic happens to be one of my favourite
foods (Raine had so much to say about that, believe me; may her soul rest in
peace.). I smile at the memory of one of the women I have truly loved. She
knew what I was, and still took me in and loved me: the mother of my son. A
woman like that comes across your path once in a lifetime; I am grateful to
have known her presence in my life.
My thoughts turn to my son, the hero of the Garden: Commander and all round
good guy. He probably has no idea that he is only half human, though his
strength and speed obviously show his father in him. I look down at the
glass in my hand and make a sour face before downing the red liquid within.
My son is about to turn twenty-one; as far as I know, that is the time of
initiation. I wonder if he has felt the blood lust upon him yet? His
battle spirit is already a good indication of the hunger within him but I
wonder: has he ever tasted the bittersweet liquid of life? Does he have any
idea of what he is? What his father is? Does he know that vampire blood
runs through his veins?
The sudden noise of my office door opening draws my attention to my most
loyal friend, Kiros; the one who always makes sure I know what is going on
and takes care of me. He is of the other world, just like me - I suppose
that is what drew us together in friendship. He is different from me: a man
of the moon, a werewolf. Unlike what the humans would think, he isn't
savage at all; he is a deeply civilised and very intelligent gentleman. He
can control himself just as I do. He doesn't warp into wolf mode whenever
he sees the full moon, ripping the humans into bloody shreds; just as I
don't seduce and drain human virgin females dry.
I smile at my comrade, inviting him to sit down at my desk with a silent
gesture as I seat myself. He returns my smile, as he indicates the empty
glass I have just placed down, "Still on the good old Tomara blood, I see."
I sigh, leaning back in my chair, "What can I say? Those wildcats are
annoying and dangerous, but their blood has one hell of a kick to it."
Laughing softly, we settle into business. After covering the normal
everyday stuff, Kiros's expression changes. "You know your son's
twenty-first is coming up Laguna. What are you going to do?"
I sigh softly, as I shrug and stand up, gazing out into my glorious city
once more. "To be honest, Kiros, I don't know if he has enough of my blood
in him to change; he's so much more like Raine than me."
Kiros rubs his chin thoughtfully. "But he does show his vampire side, even
if he doesn't know it: the strength, the speed, the battle lust. He is
definitely your son, and if he turns on his twenty-first, who knows what
will happen? You have to be there, just in case you have to calm him; he
deserves to know what he is, anyway."
I bite my lip, sipping my own blood to calm myself. "I'll go see him; watch
over him for a while. If I see any changes in him then I'll tell him about
his vampire roots."
Kiros nods in agreement with me. "Wise choice, Laguna. The boy deserves a
birthday visit at any rate...and you could do with a vacation, you've been
wearing yourself out." A rest sounds so nice, and what better opportunity
than to go and see my son over in Balamb Garden?
