Four Years Later

"She came upon us, at first with minions then by herself. She was a terror in the shape of a young girl. She is that which humans cannot image, nor want to. She is the epitome of twisted intent and of those who do not follow God's designs." - Unknown priest, 1348

"It is the unholiest sight I have ever seen. A young girl, defiling a dying man, her lust betrays her frame as a young girl. I'd heard stories, rumors, of a young girl Plague-bearer, one who started the upheaval in France going as far as Paris. I never dreamed it'd be true." - Sebastian, Burial Agency, 1349

"We've never seen the False Ancestor the girl serves. He is not like the others, he remains in the shadows while his Plague-bearer wrecks havoc onto the land, but with a Plague-bearer like her, one does not need to show their face. She is like a wild demon, something you'd expect of one who is the favoured hand of Satan, uncaring, full of lust, mania and recklessness. But her power... I've seen men cut down before her that have been servants of God's Army for many years, yet she slew them with such ease. May God help those who face her." - Gregory, Burial Agency, 1350

"There can be no God where this girl walks." - Unknown, allegedly said by unidentified man after a Burial Agency search of the ruins of a village several kilometers outside Stuttgart, Germany, 1350

By 1350, the False Ancestors had controlled millions of Undead Europeans. Waging war with each other in terrible, unearthly battles. The Count had changed his mind in 1349, and sided with those who wished to conquer the Human world.

The Burial Agency had taken a gamble, knowing the future of Europe was at stake they sent an envoy to the only person who could save them.

The True Ancestor Princess, Arcueid Brunestud.

Brunestud was at first reluctant, dismissing the envoys as being weak. But after numerous days of negotiating, Princess Brunestud agreed to help rid the False Ancestors.

"It is the least I can do, after all, it is the goal of the True to assail and kill the False. But, Envoy, do not take this as a gesture of allegiance to the Church." Were her last words to the envoy before she departed.

Brunestud's assault was quick and ruthless. In mid 1351, the majority of the Kiru had been eliminated, Brunestud's efficiency was astounding, In a matter of months, the False Ancestors numbers dwindled.

Near the end of 1351, every European country had been secured from the Kiru. Save one...

The Southland of France.

The home of the now worried Count and the maniacal, 15 year old Ume.

Ume had practically gone mad to her own lust, she crazed it, she needed it, her body had matured and she stood as tall as an average man now. The Count had begun to distrust her in her mania, he chained her in her room, raped her when he pleased and left. But Ume could not be satisfied.

"Please, My Lord..."

She would beg to be raped, she enjoyed it now. The Count knew her worth was drawing to an end, so he decided to sacrifice her to Brunestud, at least to draw time for his escape.

He knew that his Soeki was worthless to him if she was always full of lust and blood rage.

"Ume," He said as he released the girl from her chains. "You must take the remaining Undead and kill Brunestud. Our lives depend on it."

When Ume hit the ground, she dashed off, simply cackling to herself.

The Count shook his head and made his escape out of the castle.

Ume was, by then, leading the final group of the Undead she had control over. She led them over a snow covered hill, and at the very bottom of the hill, stood the White Princess. Her white dress blended against the snow, her blond hair shone in contrast to it against the inky night. Behind her were a few members of the Burial Agency.

Ume gave her a twisted smile. "Is this all? This will be short indeed, I can't wait to taste you all!"

Ume's shivers at the prospect, Brunestud closed her eyes and lowered her head.

"Those Undead you lead. They have suffered enough."

And with that, the Undead fell over, turning into dust.

Ume turned around wildly, wide eyed. "My servants! You wench! What did you do?!"

Brunestud began her slow ascent to the top of the hill. Ume was enraged, she couldn't control herself anymore.

"I'll kill you!" She screamed as she charged Brunestud.

Ume threw one punch... and it was all over.

Ume's punch was still in midair when Brunestud has had ducked down and buried her claws into the young Soeki's chest.

Blood poured out of Ume. Her eyes became distant and unresponsive, her breathing came in small gasps.

"I almost pity you," Brunestud began. "but I can't, because you chose this. You gave in when you could have fought or died. Instead you craved it, this result is to be expected. Now sleep, young girl... Find your peace."

With that, Brunestud extracted her claws and walked by Ume. Ume was still standing, her gasping began louder as her vision faded.

"Next is the castle." Brunestud announces. "We're ending this Plague."

Finally, Ume's vision faded away and she fell forward into the snow.

The pure, white snow that cradled the most impure of girls.

Ume's vision was rocked back to life, as she was lifted into the air by no less than The Count.

"It is a good thing I came back, or you'd be dead. You stupid girl."

"Uuu... My... Lord?" She barely managed to say, her eyes barely open.

He threw Ume over his shoulder and began walking.

"You will recover, girl, and you will continue to serve me. We will have our revenge against Brunestud, and you will stand over her body as she leaves this world. Our World."

"... Of.. course."

The Count's plan was obscurity. With Europe impossible to inhabit now, and many of the False Ancestor remnants having already fled to Africa and the Middle East. All that was left was Asia.

And that is where the count would live, where he would formulate his plan to take over Asia. After Brunestud was killed, of course. And he would try to tame the uncontrollable blood of Ume in Asia, and teach her discipline. Teach her to be the greatest Soeki the world had ever seen...
