As Sentoran road the long and tiring path of bumps and stones he noticed everywhere the plants were burnt down or dead. He then pulled up his scarf up and over his nose and mouth as he began to smell the stench of rotting wood mixed with ashen plain. He began to fear that he was too late to save his people. But looking to the sky as it was dark out; he then turned off his bike's engine and gazed at the constellations. One was ever so clear. The Great Maro or in English the Great Bear, in a way he thought he was a great Maro; he was grumpy most of the time, strong as an ox, a great hunter, and protector of his home and land. People thought he was a Creature most of the time, not Vampire but a type of Human Hybrid. He never got where his abnormal abilities came from but he used them to help the camp. As he gazed at the sky he saw a dark shadow fly across the sky. A dark mass with giant bat like wings, and it looked to have two tails.
He felt fear go through him, what ever it was it was scary and he now knew he was closer. He sat there for an hour after he had an apple. He then drove toward the castle. Inside his gut he felt as if he knew the creature that he saw but he was unsure of this. His hopes were not high at all as he came to the castle gates. He had never seem anything like it, it reminded him of Dracula movies which in this era where as real as the day that comes. It was a Gothic cathedral and it looked torn down and turned into a hideout for something. He got off and hid the bike behind an old pillar that was half covered in brush. He grabbed his rapier and then his gun. He went to the door and opened it. A loud creek came but nothing stirred, "Great, I think they know I am here but won't show till I am either dead or gone." he mumbled before entering. He noticed that the main room was full of crosses, miniature crucifixes, and a whole lot of holy things.
He also saw that there was scorch marks on the marble as if something entered and caught fire. He gulped and went further expecting the same except he saw that he was fine which make him laugh out of joy. He'd be safe in this room if he was chased. He grabbed a crucifix and stuck it inside his shirt and walked forward to the door. He opened it slower than the first and saw nearly everyone that he was looking for; even one of the guards was there alive. He counted each and noted to himself that there were seventy out of the two hundred that was missing. He was glad some were alive and most of them were children. As he walked in shadow he felt the air thick of evil unlike that room he was in before, If only there was Holy water then I'd be able to make my blade more efficient. He thought to himself and saw the creature he saw earlier.
The creature wasn't facing him but what he saw gave him Goosebumps. The creature wore all black armor and a helmet forged into a small dragon like face. It had large black wings that looked like dark purple leather, upon its back around the wing holes was plates bent around them to give them protection. The thing was bare footed and its skin was dark gray. The things that looked like tail were in fact not tails, they were straps of leather that held its blade to its side but dragged on the ground from being too long. Sentoran watched it count the remaining people and growled like an animal making it known he was there in the shadows watching it. It turned around and let out a laugh, Sentoran knew he was caught red handed and was scared but he had a job to do. He never saw the things face just the helmet. He then heard it speak directly to him, "Sentoran? Is that you? I haven't seen you in years my brother." he growled and then yelled back, "How the hell did you know my name." The creature was surprised when he said hell, but it still was confirmed he was in fact the guy he knew, just by hearing the voice. It then spoke again, "I am an old friend... remember Kanaxia the Hybrid?"
Sentoran was confused as a deer within headlights. How did he know him, was what he wandered. He came out of the shadows gun raised and with a half scared and half angry look on his face. The armored man snickered seeing that he was Human and said, "Well you are the man I know but yet you are not. Did they clip your wings and hide your memory?" Sentoran snarled as he aimed for the head. He was scared but then he remembered that everyone kept complaining about the two scars on his back that shown sometimes when he moved since his shirt had two slits in it. He then said calmly, "I don't know about the memory loss or the wings but I have scars that COULD have been from wings. But Kanaxia... why take these people?" Kanaxia laughed hard, "My father was soft and never there for me. He then got up and died at the hand of some crazed Wereleopard, now what am I to do? I met you or some moron like you and became friends. Then he left me to die...." Sentoran listened to the monolog and growled.
Was he and Kanaxia that heartless, he did not know, "Then I leaned where you or he lived and decided to cause him strife. In pay for my suffering without his friendship." his eye flashed with hatred, revenge by harming others was wrong. Just then his shadow changed and Sentoran looked in shock. It was said that a shadow shown the true soul of a person. And his had bird wings. It was confirmed he was indeed the man Kanaxia spoke of. But he was different; he'd never leave a friend to die or worse.
