The Vampire and The Fox
Prologue
Fire, brimstone, blood, death. Any soldier on a battlefield would be familiar with the stench of war, and in the world of Teranova it was no different. A war was being fought between two clans who never seemed to look past their differences and after so many decades it finally reached the point where it must be settled through war. Except for two young princes who were in a vast circular room with a round table in the middle with what seemed like a 3D representation of the surrounding area with miniaturized forests and mountains and some little villages around the outlying area.
One of the boys had medium length jet black hair that reached just above his shoulders, his face looked like that of a teenager in his 17th year but his blood red eyes told a different story of years and experiences. He was wearing a long black leather trench coat with a black T-shirt and a plate of dark red light armor across his chest with a symbol on it painted black, the same armor was also on his shoulders over his coat and on his black pants at the knees, both different pieces were spiked. He also had his right arm covered a black cloth with runes on it and he wore black steel-toed combat boots and finally around his black belt was sheathed long katana which the hilt was clothed in black with the inside being red and at the end of it was a ruby gem held by a claw.
The prince slammed his hand on the war table, anger in his voice which was usually slightly deep, charismatic, but commanding.
"We cannot allow this bloodshed between our two kinds to continue Edric!"
The other prince was standing in the shadows, the only thing that seemed to pierce it were his slitted emerald eyes.
"I hear you Asael."
Edric's voice seemed to hold the same charisma with more of a rumbling and a hiss behind it.
"But we would definitely need something grand to stop this madness."
Asael looked out the window at the growing battle, the forests were burning from war machines and creatures from both sides, villages were in constant threat of the skirmishes reaching them, and soldiers were killing themselves brutally over race. The prince looks back to Edric with burning eyes filled with hate but also despair over loss of lives.
"How can both our elders be so blind, and not see that our two species can live side by side in peace,"
He half yelled towards Edric whose eyes seemed to droop to the floor. Edric speaks back up.
"Sometimes, I wonder if-"
Before he got to finish the sentence a bright beam of light came from the forest where the battle was occurring. Both of them looked out the window in shock and anger.
"They activated it, those goddamn fools! Don't they realize what they have done!"
Asael spoke with such rage in his voice and Edric looks to Asael questioningly, waiting for what he will gears in Asael's mind start moving rapidly, thinking about what to do to stop this situation, then he looks to Edric and grasps his shoulder brotherly and with sad eyes.
"I am sorry Edric, but I know now what I must do."
As he spoke smoky shadows peeled out of the seams of the binds on his arm and went to bind Edric's feet to the floor.
Edric panicked, thinking that Asael had betrayed him but then sees him open the window, standing on the ledge, and realizes what he planned on doing.
"Wait! Asael we could find another way! Don't!"
He held out his hand, so as to grab Asael's in which he looks to Edric and smiles.
"Goodbye, my friend."
He then steps off the edge, the window billowing in his face from the 5 story fall and then lands harmlessly on the ground. Asael then sprinted as fast as he can towards the large beam of light, the trees and broken bodies seeming to blur around him, until he came to a clearing in which he saw soldiers from both sides fighting against what seemed like terrible shadow like creatures who were pooling out from the light in droves and attacking both sides unprejudiced. Asael saw this and then ran to the highest point in the area overlooking the battle and bellowed at the top of his lungs, his voice seeming to pass through the clearing.
"SOLDIERS! LOOK AT WHAT YOUR LEADERS HAVE BROUGHT UPON US! OUR DESTRUCTION! ALL BECAUSE OF PETTY DIFFERENCES! I GROW TIRED OF THIS FIGHTING FOR SUCH LOWLY CAUSES! AND NOW I WILL DO WHAT MUST BE DONE TO STOP THIS APOCALYPSE!"
Asael jumped off and when he landed he ran straight towards the beam. Some of the red/blue-eyed soldiers who knew him as their prince yelled to him while fighting off the creatures.
"My prince stop!" "No my lord!" "Don't do it!"
The green/yellow- eyed soldiers of the other army looked at him with awe, thinking that there was no way one of his kind would do this for one of them let alone the entire race. The shadows saw only a fool-hearty prey and they tried to lunge at him, only to be cut down and dissipated by the red bladed katana that Asael had quickly unsheathed when he saw them jump. He continued to cut them down as they got closer until he finally reached the beam and went inside.
Inside was a tall man who had white long spiky hair, wearing what seemed like purple royal looking clothes and he had both hands on an orb in the middle of the light. The man's skin seemed to be breaking apart at the intense energy coming from the orb. When he saw Asael, he sneered at him.
"You can't stop me now Asael, I will become a god! I will reign over these pathetic creatures! I will succeed!"
Asael only looked at him with indifference, knowing that at this point of the weapon release there was no way for the one who triggered it to escape.
"Your broken body and lack of control of the Shadows prove that you were never fit to become a god."
The blood-red blade seemed to grow a black aura around its edge and it seemed like Asael had disappeared and then reappeared behind the elder. The man's eyes were wide open, him realizing what had happened as a slit grew around his neck. His head finally slid off the cleanly cut neck and fell to the side as the orb seemed to send a pulse of energy that disintegrated the rest of the now dead elder's body. Asael looked down at the head as the lifeless eyes looked back into his own. He then closed his eye for about ten seconds before opening them again and looking back at the orb which still seemed to be functioning.
"I guess this is the way it had to be."
He smiled sadly as he walked up to the orb and uncovered the binds around his right arm, immediately grabbing the orb. From his arm came pure darkness pooling and wrapping itself around the orb, which then released a defensive pulse of energy which threatened to break apart his body, but he kept holding unto the orb, his skin starting to crack. Outside the Shadows screeched in pain as they started to dissipate into smoke and the now confused soldiers looked at the flickering beam of light. The orb started to crack from both the pressure of Asael's grip and the sheer tenacity of his powers and he screamed at the intense pain he was feeling as his body was being broken down to its atomic levels. Still he smiled on, knowing that he had just saved his home, Teranova.
Goodbye...my friends...may we meet again...in the afterlife.
Asael thought to himself as the orb finally shattered and collapsed in on itself taking the light and Asael's body with it. Every soldier on that battlefield could feel his passing, some had fallen on the ground weeping, some kneeled in respect, some stood in disbelief. In all of their hearts they knew, that the prince Asael had saved them all and in the distance they can all hear dragonic roars of prince Edric, which sounded now more like a cry, and they all bowed their heads in respect for their dead prince.
