Evil itself was nearer to the truth that even her herself realized. She sat out on the
balcony, watching vultures circle around her dinner feast leftover. Two holes, parallel to
another, bleeding dry from the necks of men and maidens. The whores and theifs, liars
and drunks. All had the better blood. She killed them for they contaminated the blood of
the pure.Didn't much matter who, but she found it hard to get prey these days.
"SUSHIE SHENATARU!" She called from the balcony.
The stubby ebony dragon flew with its little wings to the vampiress. It bowed and hissed
through its teeth. "Yes, my master."
"I hear there is a man called Treize Khushrenada is trying to defeat evil, while Milliardo
Peacecraft is tyring to defeat good. These hybrids aren't of fit worthy of roaming this
world which i should reign. I need a king. A king to stand here. In vampriric worship by
me. Hmm...Fetch the Orb of Fate, my pet."
So the stubby ebony dragon flew to the chalice and fetched the orb bringing it to her. She
floated it in her hands the sight of a solder standing with a sword clad to his side appeared.
"Heero Yuy ...I see...Sushie Shenataru, fetch me this soldier. Fly."
The stuuby ebony Sushie Shenataru flew out the balcony. Moonlight hit her face, paler
than the moonlight and much smoother. Her brownish gold eyes flickered to a red. Her
black lips smiled a fanged smile.
"Why can't I convert one that looks just as well? Heero Yuy. Welcome to Vampiric Hood."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Stubby Ebony dragon flew towards Heero Yuy.
"Gotta get the guy gotta get the GUY!!" Sushie yelled as he flew
The one they called Heero Yuy looked up from his battle tactics and into the sky, sighting
an ebony dragon heading his way.
"Milord!!" A young private burst into the room. "Milord, there is a dragon!! Do we sound
attack?"
"What do you think, you twit? Of course!Send for the archers and get the pitch and naptha
from the storerooms. I want that dragon to burn. We will rid this land of all dragons and
thier vile masters." When the page hesitated he roared. "MOVE!" The page scurried out.
Heero swore. A dragon in his territroy was as good as dead. He had heard that
dragons worked for vampires, warlocks, hags, and any other race of black magicals. There
were also rumours of the old gods returning, but he doubted. Country people near the End
of The Land reported feeling a tremor a few days back. He had dismissed the claim. What
they had probably felt was a bad case of indegestion from the annual village potluck
supper. He was a soldier, and soldiers never took superstitious claims seriously. It was bad
for business.
Heero strode out among the men, spotting the two young knights he was looking for in the
crowd. "Quatre. Trowa." he barked.
The two turned around. "Yes, General Yuy?" asked the young blonde knight
apprehensively.
"We've got a dragon. Get the archers down from thier drinking and to work. Now move
and dont laet me catch you not doing anything again."
The two saluted smartly and rode off. Heero watched them go, then turned to the crowd.
The dragon was heading in his direction, looking as if to sweep him away. Heero blinked.
It had seemed the dragon had disappeared. Maybe he had had a little to much of that
doctored mead the archers loved so much.
The dragon reappeared as his normal size, swooping Heero onto his back and took off.
Heading for the Transylvanian looking mountains where even knights wouldn't venture
without men with him.
"Damn. I should have grabbed my dagger. Then I could put an end to you right here and
now." The dragon merely turned and looked at him, almost as if it were amused at the
comment. Heero swore.
"My mistress wishes to see you. If you deny a request from the Countess Sia of Monorrue,
you will wish you had been slain like my ancestors. Your armies and walls would of fallen
under her paled hands, no matter how brave you appear to be." He landed at the gates and
ran into the house, yipping. "SIA SIA SIA SIA"
Sia was a bit saddened now, watching how people were treating dragons and bats around
the world. In her usual coo she said, "What can you possibly want now, Sushie."
The dragon tilted her head. "This may cheer you. The Solder Heero Yuy. The first."
Sia came down the ebony and red steps sadly, lifting her dress slightly. "Sushie...nothing
could possibly cheer me now. Being a maiden gone Vampiric isn't at all fun, my pet." She
sat across from them. Sushie hit Heero off into a chair.
"Welcome to my home, Mr.Yuy."
"Vampiress. You should be annihialated. All of your black hearted kind shoulde be." He
eyed her warily. "You who drain the life from innocent maidens and idealistic men. I have
dedicated my life to tracking you and your kind down. I have no desire to stay in your
lair."
She grinned. "As I suspected. well..." Somthing was different about her. She
wasnt...truely...all...vampiric, not the type he was after. Her eyes still brown and her voice
non demonic stayed. "Well...I shall give you what you wish. But i warn you. I am not what
you think. I do not drain INNOCENT maidens and IDEALISITIC men. Thiefs and
Whores. People unfit to run amuck and to take advantage of everyone else." She stood up
and pointed to the case which contained weapons on end. "Select a weapon and do away
with me as you wish. Slit my wrist, i will still bleed, shoot me with a crossbow bolt, i will
die. You wish to rid of the vampiress...kill me and find out how much your streets will fill
with Whores and Rapists."
Sushie's eyes watered. "You're leaving then?"
"I guess...and if the thought crosses your mind, Yuy...I am not creating a scene."
"I do not believe you." He drew a long sword from the wall where it hung.
"FOR THE GOOD OF ALL THAT IS LIGHT!!" With that he lunged for her, rage
burning in his eyes.
She grabbed his neck with one hand and brought him to the ground, her eyes hypnotizing.
"Yes, for the good of light you will cross over to a shadier light. And you will soon see how
i suffer in these dark chambers negelcted from your society."
His eyes widened a bit, a bit of the old schoolboy fear showing through for a moment.
Then they hardened. "Do what you will Countess. I admit I cannot stop you."
"Smart schoolboy. I saw that fear reflect through those prussian eyes. If you ever heard of
the old proverb, those who fight on the wrong side will see a vampire before he dies. So
what does that leave you." And while she got an inch from his neck she whispered.
"Scream and it will hurt."
And she...bit. her teeth sank into the skin and began to draw blood. Making the sword drop
fron his hands.
He relaxed. He decided to heed her words and not scream.....And in an odd sort of way, it
felt like release. A sort of sweet dark song seemed to sing through his veins. He closed his
eyes and let the vampiress continue her work.
She let go of his neck, watching him slump to the floor. "Somthing is odd now...why do i
feel light? Damn it I knew this would happen. Wake up, Heero."
His eyes slowly opened, and a new sort of look was in them. The stern demeanor he wore
had somehow changed into something more subtle, and he saw the world in a new light.
"What has happened?"
" Thosew who fight on the wrong side will see a vampire before they die. Welcome to Hell.
Now understand how i felt when i was a child!"
"I apologize for my harsh words, Countess. Those who do not understand tend to violently
refuse to accept what they themselves cannot fathom. I now understand. Excuse me."
"...No apology necessary. For some reason i feel somthing towards you i have not felt since
before i was turned into this...being."
She sighed. " If i knew what the word for it was...i'd...say it."
" I think the word you are looking for is love, Countess. I admit it has been some time
since I have felt it myself."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Quatre rode with Trowa back to the main congregation of the military to find it in utter
chaos. He furrowed his brow.
"You there, what has happened?" Quatre grabbed a page by the arm.
"Milord, an ebony dragon of great porportions and a flaming motuh swooped upon us and
carried General Yuy off, only barely escaping with a goodly number of wounds. Our
General put up a miraculous fight and almost killed the dragon before he was
overpowered."
Quatre nodded. "Thank you." Then he turned to Trowa. "Are you coming along?"
"Coming along where." Trowa turned and looked him in the eyes.
"We're going to look for General Yuy."
"All right."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Quatre dreampt that night. A woman with ebony hair and skin the color of pure snow
came to him. Her dress was long and of ebony, and her arms and what little of her legs he
could see were perfectly rounded asnd looked as if made of pure white marble. Her ice blue
eyes reflected a wisdom that encompassed the entire Earth and possibly Heaven and Hell.
She seemed to be neither good nor evil, but both at once if that were possible.
"Come unto me, young knight. I have need of your skill."
"I wish I could, beautiful one, but I am needed here," he replied full of remorse.
"Come unto me, young knight, and I shall relieve you of your burden and present you with
a new task that shall glorify your name beyond recognition and fill you days with love."
As he reached for her hand, she disappeared, and he awoke.
