Rosario to vampire Time, Place, Destiny! Worship at the shrine of the four vampire gods
"Grandfather would you tell me what we are doing here?" Tsukune asked as the small black limo roared through the forest of dead trees flanked on either side by ten other security vans fallowed behind by another twenty armored trucks containing the Executioners of the Extermination squad that Tsukune had defeated after they had failed to kill him and Moka. Tsukune noticed his grandfather had kept the fangs that Tsukune had ripped out and put them in individual small clear plastic containers that looked almost like contact lens cases each one carefully labeled with the executioners name and rank.
The contingent continued through the forest toward the old yet majestic temple.
Tsukune's grandfather smirked seeing his grandson's confusion.
"We are here to say hello to an old friend of mine I heard that her daughter is expecting a child soon and I wished to pay my respects. She is an old friend of your grandmother Natallia of the house and coven of Uruter. I have managed to keep in contact with her over the last few hundred years and since becoming a vampire I promised myself that I would go and see her again as soon as the situation permitted it.
I have wished to see her for some time and I have a feeling that she will be most interested in you. She's the head priestess at the small shrine dedicated to the four great vampire gods that her family runs and she claims that they give her great power in exchange for her devotion and the occasional sacrifice of a bull in their honor. Your grandmother spoke of her with a great deal of adoration and so I wish for your parents and the two of you to meet her.
Just in case she asks you just say yes you do, do sacrifice and yes you do worship the four gods. Remember the four vampire gods are the Blood god: Nosferatu, or La Magra as he is sometimes called. The goddess of darkness: Yaruo, or night. Allucard: god of strength, protection, aura, pride and vanity. Then finally last but not least, Mirka goddess of fangs, beauty, bloodmates, child birth and great sex.
The reason I am telling you this is because the head priestess is deeply religious so it will mean a lot to her if we were to stop and the two of you do a quick prayer and then go. Natallia your grandmother was her best friend so she felt quite sad when she heard that your grandmother had been executed because of mating with me. Please do this it would mean so much to her, to have her best friends grandson and his bloodmate come and do a quick prayer."
Tsukune and Outer Moka then looked at each other and sighed.
"Okay we'll do it…Just explain how so we don't mess it up and get cursed or something for offending the gods." Tsukune muttered the last part hoping that something like that couldn't happen, but considering what he had seen he wouldn't want to find out.
His grandfather smiled happily as he then said.
"Thank you both. This will mean so much to her….Now then typically there are a few basic steps to visiting a vampire shrine.
When you approach the entrance bow respectfully, then there will be a wash basin filled with blood and a few scoops. Now use the ladle to scoop blood out of the wash basin to wash yours and Moka's hands in it.
Remember to wash your left hand first, then your right, then rinse your mouth and spit into the spit bucket beside the washing basin. Also don't spit into the blood supply basin or drink from it, it's considered rude to put it lightly.
After that take off your shoes and socks and then wash your feet. Once that is done simply tip the ladle backwards to wash the ladle handle with the remaining blood and place it opening face down on the rack where you found it.
Next don't put on your shoes and socks when you go into the shrine. Guests are expected, to go inside barefoot when they enter and worship. It's a custom of the shrine priests and priestess's to not wear something to cover their feet when they are about to worship. Before you enter ring the bell outside.
I know there is a box for donations, and I stuck a check with a few thousand or so yen inside of your right tuxedo pocket that is on the inside of your tuxedo.
Now after giving donations then bow. Usually just bow twice and then and clap twice will suffice.
Afterwards put your hands together in front of your heart and step with left foot first when you enter the shrine for your prayers.
Be sincere and respectful and be quiet.
Once you go into the temple/shrine just go in kneel on the floor, cut your wrists with the small retractable pocket knife I put in your right pants pocket. Don't worry I carved all the important glyphs into the blade and the handle so it will make her happy so you don't have to use one of her daggers trust me you don't want to know why.
Now then, from there simply let your blood flow onto your fingers then flick it onto the alter and small statues of the four gods that are there.
Once that's done do a quick prayer.
Go for something simple yet could be construed in any number of ways. You know wealth for the family and look after a relative that sort of thing.
Again I appreciate this the head priestess is a friend of your grandmothers and she is deeply religious, so it will mean a lot to her if we were to stop and do a quick prayer and then go. Natallia, your grandmother, was her best friend so she felt quite sad when she heard that your grandmother had died because of mating with me. Please do this it would mean so much to her to have her best friends grandson and his bloodmate come and do a quick prayer.
Also she is quite eager to meet you considering I am sure that she has heard a great deal of rumors about you….Unfortunately Nightfalls has been spreading said rumors around the blood dispenser at work-"Olrin paused seeing the confused look on Tsukune's face.
"The blood dispenser….Its one of my greatest inventions, every office of Night falls has one. Think of it as, well kind of like a human water cooler, and a coffee maker except it's for vampires. It heats blood to the perfect temperature . 37 degrees the same temperature it would be inside the human body and then it despences it in little paper cups to drink. Then the person can add cream or sugar to suit their desires."Olrin added quickly seeing his grandson's look of confusion morph into one of shock.
"Now then where was I?….Ah yes, and then anyone who hears said rumor around the blood dispenser will then tell the secretaries who will then tell all the major gossipers that they know who will then tell someone else, who will then tell someone else that they know, and then from there they spread like wild fire.
The whole barge of juicy rumors about the mysterious, enigmatic vampire, and his family who run Night falls, and who are finally coming out of the shadows after all this time for the rest of the vampire leadership to see, after their leaders grandson had the balls to take one of the High Elders daughters as his bloodmate.
Yes Tsukune you are rumored to be quite the ladies man to have gotton Moka as your bloodmate.
Do not worry, about the whole harem thing at the Youki academy. No one knows about it although if it were to get out it would be quite the juicy tidbit of gossip, and I know how much the secretaries love to gossip.
To most of the other vampires you are the one lucky son of a bitch who took one of the daughters of the high elder himself as his bloodmate. Even more amazing is the fact that Moka's father has given you his blessing and permission to do so. Thus according to vampire law after the two of you exchanged blood and mated with each other in the temple of night the two of you are officially bloodmates and are mated together.
However despite all the amusing gossip that the secretaries have spread about you the more impressive is that the two of are, excepting a baby or babies as the case is. It seems that The councils secretary copied the video Ms Sonada sent to The council and the other two elders on her cell phone and spread it to her gossip contacts as well as over the vampire internet to the rest of the vampire nation.
The display of power that the two of them wielded was beyond imagination. Thus to most of the other vampires this is a big deal. Even now at the home office of Night Falls in the vampire nation they have begun receiving baby gifts from various clans and noble families. Most of them are to suck up to the house of Aono and Moka's house and try to get their houses, covens as well as their entire clans in our good graces.
Needless to say the two of you are the most interesting pieces's of gossip that the vampire leadership have heard in a long time." Olrin chuckled seeing looks of annoyance and embarrassment on Tsukune's and Moka's faces at their personal life being of anyone elses interest but their own.
Tsukune looked outside and he was surprised a temple that was well worn with age apear through the woods. The vampire temple appeared to closely resemble a human temple of the Shinto faith as the group of vehicles got closer. Outside on the steps with a broom in her hand stood a beautiful woman with long gray hair and kind gray eyes dressed in a white and red priestess robe sweeping the steps off.
Tsukune's grandfather dressed in a black suit and tie walked up smiled at her. The lady dropped her broom as she saw Olrin and ran up and hugged him.
"Oh Olrin its been too long. Oh I never did believe all the nasty rumors the council spread about you when they said that you were a human even though you smelled like one….Oh your scent still makes me drool every time I smell it….Oh the pompous old men, how dare they order Natalliea's execution and then keep a genius like you in the shadows. Oh I am willing to bet that The old men know that deep down your stronger and much more cleverer then they are, and each and every one of them knows it." The woman's eyes quickly spotted Tsukune's parents who were getting out of the second limo and then her eyes fell on Tsukune, who was dressed in a black tuxedo and tie, and then on Outer Moka, who was dressed in a crimson red dress that gently fluttered in the breeze.
The vampire priestess smiled at him kindly.
"Oh look at you…Oh yes the vampire underworld has been a buzz with delightfully wicked rumors about the two of you….Oh yes you're the little lady killer…Oh yes you're the little man who had the balls to take one of the High Elders daughters away from him….Oh yes no wander you came here to my families shine, you want to pray for your safety from your father and mother in law don't you?" The vampire priestess cooed as she reached out with both of her hands and pinched both of Tsukune's cheeks hard as if determined to rip a chunk of flesh off of each one before letting go.
"Oh yes I don't blame you. Oh yes Olrin your wife Natallia would be proud of your grandson…Oh I bet he is quite fertile down there…..Oh yes he has to be considering the rumors about how strong his unborn children are…
Oh yes I bet your hung like a horse down there aren't you Tsukune….Oh yes I bet you gave your wife a spirited ride eh, you little stallion you….Oh yes it looks like someone has been busy, busy, busy make babies.
Oh silly me I forgot to introduce myself! Oh by the goddess of darkness Yoruo's massive breasts I am a forgetfull of my formalities…Oh please allow me to introduce myself properly to the two of you." The vampire priestess then rushed forward and did a quick bow to Tsukune and Moka.
"Oh yes please forgive me, my name is Sheora Sanzena and I am the head priestess of this temple and head of the house and coven of Sanzena. Oh yes now if I am not mistaken you are his grandson Tsukune Aono and you are his bloodmate Moka, now that, that is done with, I am happy to meet you; your grandfather is an old friend of mine."
"Hello." Tsukune gently shook her hand. The vampire priestess quickly lead Olrin, Tsukune's parents and, Tsukune and Moka up the steps to the large building that housed the temple and family shrine. The large sliding door was already open and priestess Sheora gestured for both Tsukune and Moka to go on.
Tsukune and Moka quickly washed themselves with the blood in the washing basin. Then gave the donation and rang the bell. A bright smile was on the face of the head priestess.
"Oh yes that was wonderful, your grandmother would be so pround of her grandson showing proper respect to the gods! Oh yes ,now before I forget my daughter is in there already so she can bless the babies for you." With that both Tsukune and Moka both ventured inside the shadowy interior of the family shrine.
A sharp gasp came from the head priestess outside as Tsukune entered.
The interior smelled like blood and a bloody red light seemed to shine from nowhere and yet everywhere at the same time.
All around the inside of the shrine hanging from the walls were the dead flesh of several slain rouges and youkia who had dared to become enemies of this particular vampire clan and coven of vampire priests and priestess's.
Both Tsukune and Moka carefully positioned themselves on the floor, which was littered with skulls, bone and stone. Mostly the bones it seems were of animals and dead youki. At the center of the room was a large square alter covered in bones. A large fire pit in the middle, with a large tower of pieces of wood all linked stacked on top of each other together forming a square with a fire burning in the middle of it that had been erected inside.
A large fat bull lay tied down across the alter. On the far wall behind the alter lay a wall which had nothing but skulls on it and inside each of the eyes burned a single candle. It was only then that Tsukune say another person by the alter besides them. A vampire woman with the same gray eyes and long silvery gray hair was dressed in a red and white miko uniform. The priestess lay prostrate in humble adoration a large thin dagger in her one of her out stretched hands while in another she held a Haraegushi with small vampire glyphs on each of the paper squares attached to the wand.
"I call upon the south, I call upon the north, I call upon the east, I call upon the west, and of the center! Honorable ancestors hear my prayers let my voice rise up and carry beyond the worlds to where the four gods dwell! My Lord Nosferatu, La Magra, the blood god, you who are the giver of all life, the true heart and blood of the vampire nation.
I this lowly servant beseech you along with your brother, Alacard the protector of the vampire nation, and your sisters Yoruo, the goddess of night and eternal darkness, and Mirka goddess of beauty, fangs, bloodmates, child birth and great sex, to please bless my baby. I ask this as I offer up this bull as a symbol of my devotion. I ask this so that my baby will be able to spend her life in devotion to the gods, just as the rest of my house and clan has since time began.
Please this lowly servant asks of you to please bless my baby. I humbly ask the gods to descend to this place where no gods dwell. I ask the four of you to lend your strengh to me as I go through this pregnacy. I thank the four of you, for you have blessed my baby with a youki that beyond all others! My Lords I humbily beseach you to bless my baby and then this house of worship and cleanse it of evil I offer you this sacrifice."
With that the priestess cut her own wrists with the dagger as she waved her Haraegushi with the glyphs on it over the bulls heart letting her blood fall on top of the statues of the four cloaked figures, as she plunged the dagger into the bull killing the animal and letting its blood mix with her own as it dripped onto the alter. The fire contained within the square of logs rose upwards and curled around the wood as if it were alive and then rushed outwards and descended on the dead bull consuming it until only ash remained on the bloody alter. The fire then began to slowly recede until it was once again crackling happily inside the logs.
Her prayer done the priestess got up to her feet and staired at both Tsukune and Moka. Her eyes began to glow with a gray light all her own as a swirl of gray youki began to manifest itself in her palms. Her youki then burst fourth from her eyes and mouth. Tsukune swallowed as he turned and saw his wife Moka's eyes and mouth glow red with the force of his unborn childrens youki as well as the red youki manifesting itself in her palms. Both vampire woman now in the same state showing sighes of all to fimilier contact. Then both Mokas and priestess's youki entered Tsukune and he knew nothing but darkness.
