War Of The Night Chapter Six: The Dark Practitioner"Do not bother my son, a royal beheading will await you if you come flying into our territory." With that Kosan burst into an evil laugh and flew away into the dead of night. Seth struggled to get loose to save his beloved, "JAHI!" He cried. Though his attempt was in vain. This encounter may have been the last the two lovers may see. "NOOO!" The Ivory prince struggled against his captor violently, wanting desperately to get free. Seth had no idea what his father was going to do to his angel of darkness and didn't want to just wait around and find out. "RELEASE ME AT ONCE!" The prince demanded.
"Dear boy, do not thrash about." Came a weary voice from the doorway. Seth stopped to gape at a sight he thought he would never see. Lord Dracula was nearly defeated, he had been attacked, a large wooden stake was protruding into his left shoulder. Jadian released the young vampire and they both sought to Dracula's aid. "I am sorry, I could not save Jahi. There was a fleet of Ivory Vampires keeping me from interfering."
"What kind of a brigade does your no good father run!" Cried the Ebonique Clan leader. Seth may have had a newly found spite for his father but in a sense the comment offended him. "Like you and your people are any better." The blue-eyed vamp snapped. "Do not fight my children, now is not the time for harsh words. Jahi is in grave danger and someone needs to save him, and two vampires need to set aside their differences and work together to do it." Dracula explained while slowly pulling the intrusion in his shoulder out. He winced at the sudden pain but then ignored the dull throbbing as his shoulder began to heal itself.
"If you truly love my son, then you will do this. Come with me to my kingdom and pretend as if I have made off with you as your father made off with my child. I will have to place you under arrest but I will be sure that you are put directly under my custody. I will keep you well and give you a plan to take back my son." Jadian enlightened to young prince. Seth thought about it for about a millisecond, he would do anything just to hold his angel so close again. "I will do it if only you grant your son and I total freedom. We will leave this land and search for a happy home; I cannot stand to hear anymore about this childish war. It is disgusting and degrading to all vampires in the world. Your son…my angel deserves a much superior life than this sorry excuse." Jadian was very impressed with his young vamp; he was very distinguished and wise beyond his years. He was the perfect match for his son. The king nodded, "You have my word, if only you promise to take excellent care of my son, he is the only one I have. Though after you both had gone I cannot make any promises that I will not kill your family."
"As long as you never harm a hair on my baby brother Mokuba Of Darkness, then we have an accord." Seth added as he held out his hand to shake on the pact. Jadian nodded and took his oath as he shook the hand of the Prince of the Ivory Dragon Clan. "But, first, we must get Lord Dracula to his room so that he may rest while he heals."
OOooOO
"UNHAND ME AT ONCE!" Demanded Jahi as he was dragged into the lair of the Ivory Dragon King and Queen. "Shut your mouth you pathetic mongrel!" Nataani looked up from her book and met her gaze with her husband's. "Look what I've caught dear wife!" Kosan growled while throwing the young prince to the lady's feet. Poor Jahi landed with a whimper. "What is this?"
"This my dear is what our son has given his virginity to. This is his male lover." For his own good, Jahi stayed put in his position on the floor. Nataani looked the prince over and shook her head; "He preferred this canine over a groomed female bride?" Okay, so the dog references were running a bit thin with Jahi but unless he wanted never to see his shadow stalker again he couldn't do a damned thing about it. Kosan suddenly bent down and pulled Jahi up by his hair. He whimpered aloud. "It only gets better my dear, this is not just any vampire, no indeed. This is none other than the Prince of The Ebonique Dragon Clan. Jahi Of Eve." The amber-eyed prince watched in horror as the queen's eyes flashed a dangerous red then settled back into her smoldering lavender. "How dare our son betray us like this!"
"It was not our fault, we didn't know we originated from opposite clans!" Jahi shouted in the defense of himself and his lover…that probably wasn't the smartest thing he could have done. Kosan hauled off and punched the blonde in the gut sending him to the floor again. "You will not utter words in this realm scum!"
OOooOO
Seth felt his whole body begin quake with fright as his feet touched firmly with the ground that was in the region of Ebonique territory. "Do not be fearful Seth, I will make sure you are not harmed. Though I will need to make an entrance." The brunette nodded and allowed his lover's father to take him in headlock and made haste to the Castle. Seth began to struggle to make this act look more the part. Vampires of the land looked on and whispered to each other, wondering what was going on and whom the captured vamp was. Yunith pushed through the crowd and got a good look at the king's prisoner before approaching the Lord of the land. "My King, where is Jahi?"
"Come Yunith, you have much to learn." Invited the King as they entered through the front doors of the citadel. Seth eyed the short vampire and wondered why he had such a close relationship with the royal family.
Once inside the safety of the castle walls, Jadian released the Ivory Prince and beckoned him follow. "Dear Tiesa." Spoke the king in a soft voice. The queen looked up and smiled at her husband. "Dear Jadian, who hath you brought?" The king stood defensively next to his son's lover, "Tiesa, this is Seth." The prince watched as the vampress' eyes lit up with happiness. She ran to him and embraced him, "It is good to finally meet you." Seth didn't know quite what to do. "Dear wife, this is not a happy hour." The queen pulled away from the young vamp and faced her husband, "Whatever do you mean?"
"This is the prince of the Ivory Dragon Clan, just as we had expected." Tiesa flinched and examined the young prince again. "Where is our son?"
"My father kidnapped him. I am sure his time is running out. My father is ruthless, we need to act quickly to save your son's life." The blue-eyed vampire spoke firmly. Tiesa felt her eyes begin to water quickly and latched her hands onto the prince's shoulders tightly. "What kinds of things will your father do to my son? Tell me!"
"Tiesa, calm your nerves, Seth and I will prepare our plan of action tonight and I will send him off on his way to save our son. If there is anyone who knows that territory, it is he." The king spoke softly. Tiesa approached the prince again, "You save my son and I will spare your life, let him die and I will hunt you relentlessly."
OOooOO
The weary hours of the black morning began to surrender and poor Jahi sat chained to a cold stonewall. His face was littered with bruises and his body ached from all the abuse he had suffered in the last couple of hours. He was lucky that he wasn't just tied to a stake and left for the sun to devour, though that death would have been more preferable than this torture, he was sure he would never see Seth again. Just the thought once again brought silver tears to his amber eyes. The blonde tucked his knees under his chin and began to cry silently. He looked up once again and noticed an object lying not too far from his feet. In pure curiosity he reached out and grasped the article. It was a book, why would there be a book in a dungeon? He shook his head and began to scan through the pages; it was a book about dark magic and the most famous practitioner of all, Bakura Of Sorcery. He wasn't a vampire but was born a magical being, an elemental mage…that for some reason took up dark magic.
Jahi read on and came across a set of laws, laws he had never been introduced to. He read on with undying interest and found them to still be standing as they have been for the last 1,500 years…
Code Of Vampires
No one vampire may claim full power over another vampire's belongings and land
No vampires shall kill humans without reason
No vampires shall kill other vampires without reason
All vampires must obey all regulations in their respective kingdoms
Any vampire that has committed against these laws will be put to death by a steak through the heart or tied to a stake and left for the sun of the awaiting morning.
But the law that caught this prince's eye was this…
Any vampire that has committed against these rules but is with child or has a lover with child will not be executed but shunned rather, banned from their families and this country.
If only there were some way that Jahi could get together with Seth his this coming night! The blonde thought for a minute, he was a male; he couldn't just as easily get pregnant like any female. The vamp slunk back against the wall and sighed helplessly. He would die…. unless… The young prince started scanning through the book again; trying to locate all of the spells Bakura was able to cast. After about 15 minutes of reading Jahi came across what he was looking for and read it aloud to himself. "The pregnancy spell. Intended for couples who are unable to conceive a child on their own. It will bring happiness and joy in only nine months and a life in which you believed could never happen. Though sometimes this spell doesn't work without a price, many unborn babies have never had the chance to cry their first signs of life, there have been those where the child lives but the mother looses her life, and in the worst-case scenarios, both mother and child die. This is not a recommended spell. You have been for warned… But it's the last option Seth and I have at a life together. I would pay any price, even my very life." Jahi had a master plan now…it was just the problem of the walls and chains that encased him.
OOooOO
True to his words, Seth allowed himself to be locked in the dungeon. He wouldn't have felt right being placed in a luxurious room anyway, he knew for a fact that his angel was locked away in a darkened prison anyway. He wanted to suffer the same fate as his lover. He couldn't imagine the ache Jahi was feeling but he could feel his distress and that whole day, Seth was unable to sleep though his body was tired. The first thing he needed to do when he was released was to feed. If saving the one he loved was his mission, he needed to be in tiptop shape or they may both loose their lives.
OOooOO
Night had fallen too quickly for the Ebonique Dragon Clan prince; Lord Kosan had talked about a steak through the heart as Jahi's end. The blonde vamp planned to take flight just as soon as his feet met the rough ground of the outside world. Speak of the devil…here came the ruthless king now. He stood outside the enemy's son's cell and smirked. "Oh how the mighty have fallen. Your father will be in shards after he finds out you are dead and then, I will rule both kingdoms. Fetch him guard." Roughly the amber-eyed vamp was escorted out of the dungeons and out to the town scaffold. A crowd had already gathered and Jahi studied the faces of his congregation. Suddenly, Kosan fisted his golden hair and began to speak to his followers.
"Dragon Vampires of power listen to my words! Tonight a dragon vampire of scum will die! We will spill his blood and then feed him to the bats. This rat has slept with our prince! Tearing Seth Of Moon's virginity from his hands! Bring forth the stake!" A vampire solider stepped forward and handed the king his weapon of choice. Kosan licked his lips enjoyably and smiled. Slowly he leant forward and whispered into Jahi's ear, "Welcome to your death you whore." The blonde whimpered as he felt the point stick into his chest, but before any pain came his executer cried out in horror. Someone had shot him with an arrow in his hand. He dropped the wooden weapon and watched as a familiar figure landed firmly on his feet. "HOW DARE YOU TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE!" Seth cried while quickly arming his bow again.
"SETH OF MOON!" Jahi shouted. "Angel, take flight!" The blonde hurriedly did so and Kosan tried to grab at the escaping vamp but was too slow. Seth also jumped into the air and sprouted his wings. He flew to his lover's side and watched as his ruthless father took to the air himself. There was going to be a mid air fight.
Seth quickly aimed his bow and Kosan dodged the flying arrow. Jahi moved out of the way as the king of the Ivory Dragon Clan tackled his son in mid flight. Kosan's first move was taking his son's neck in his strong hands and trying to strangle him, trying being the key word. Seth side stepped in the air and missed his father's lunge. Seeing his free time, the Ivory Dragon Prince met up with his lover and began to flee, but Kosan would not give up that easily. Without detection the ruthless king came up behind his son's lover and sliced one of his wings wide open. Jahi cried out in utter pain. His damaged left wing gave out and he began to free fall but Seth would not let him hit the ground. The blue-eyed vampire saved his beloved from anymore pain…. well for the moment. The king collided with his son pinning him hard against a blackened tree of death. Consequently, Seth lost his hold on Jahi and the blonde vamp crash landed to the ground in a patch of bushes. Jahi was fairly unscathed but the fall did shake him up a bit and his left wing was bleeding like crazy. Suddenly a cry from above caught his attention. Seth was still grappling with his crazed father. Kosan had his son mercilessly pinned to a tree. The brunette struggled to loosen the grip around his windpipe. "MY OWN SON! A TRAITOR!" Seth clawed at the other vampire's face but he easily dodged the attacks. Finally the azure-eyed prince used the force of his legs to get himself free. Kosan lost his grasp and watched as his son took to the treetops. By the time the king got there Seth was nowhere to be found. "DON'T RUN SETH! YOU'LL JUST MAKE THIS EVEN MORE ENJOYABLE TO ME! FINE! I'LL JUST RETURN TO THE FOREST FLOOR AND SEARCH FOR YOUR WHORE!"
…No one talked about Jahi like that…
Seth felt his skin begin to burn and his blood begin to boil and with a great angry cry he came up from his hiding spot and tackled his father. The blonde vampire tried to follow the sounds from below. He would have preferred to fly but his wing was damaged. With every foul word uttered against his dark angle the Ivory Prince became increasingly upset…and his eyes literally began to glow an unearthly cerulean. Kosan tapped into his hidden powers and his eyes began to glow as well. Father and Son came at each other at full force and when they met a ball of energy in the form of blue lightning kept them at bay for a couple seconds before loosing its tension and forcing the vamps far from each other. They both landed in different parts of the woods but Kosan had impaled his right wing on a forgotten metal stake. Seth had lost consciousness after experiencing his nameless potential and landed on the forest floor unscathed.
… … … …
His wing really was beginning to get the best of him and he was hopelessly lost in miles upon miles of forest. He wished he could fly. Jahi had heard the end of the battle between Kosan and his lover and started on a journey to find Seth but this proved difficult. Now he was just aimlessly wandering about. Not watching where he was going, the blonde tripped on a rock and groaned. Could his luck really get any worse? Shaking off the fall he pulled himself up and dusted off his clothing, not that mattered. They were tattered anyway. Finally he looked up and found himself gazing into the opening of an eerie appearing cave. Perhaps someone lived there and could help him find his way out of the dead woods. Cautiously, he entered the darkness. It wasn't until he could no longer see the opening that the cave had become dimly lit. Jahi picked up the pace and encountered a home of some sort. He curiously observed the living space and found shelves just full of little glass vials filled with strange colored liquids. Was this a home of a witch? It's couldn't be, he spotted no large black cauldron…. but this place did seem like it had a place in his memory from somewhere…
"Hello?" Jahi spoke loudly. For a few moments there was nothing but silence. "Hello?" He greeted empty space again…or so he thought. "What privileges might I give thee o' princely one?" A voice asked rather darkly. Jahi spun about and saw a white-haired figure observing him from the shadows. "Who are you and how did you know I was a prince?"
"By your tattered clothing your highness. And as for whom I am… I am the one who grant you any wish." Finally it clicked in Jahi's mind, "You're Bakura Of Sorcery…. The dark practitioner." The white-haired figure smiled.
OOooOO
Seth's body shuddered and he lazily opened his eyes, half expecting that he had been dreaming but the surrounding forest suggested other wise. Slowly he sat up and let himself remember what had gone on. He groaned then remembered his dark angel. Quickly he jumped to his feet and took to the skies; he knew that a sorcerer lived near by and hoped that maybe he could help him find Jahi.
OOooOO
"So what brings you hear your highness?" Bakura asked curious as to what a prince would need him for. "Please, call me Jahi."
"Ahhh, so you are the Ebonique Dragon Clan prince, Jahi Of Eve." The blonde nodded, "And in all actuality I just wandered in here, I wasn't really on my way here for a…" The amber-eyed vamp remembered his and Seth's predicament and changed his mind, "Actually, Bakura, there is something you can do for me." The sorcerer looked up from whatever he had busied himself with, "And what might that be?"
"I need you to recite the pregnancy spell on me." The white-haired figure shuddered at the remembrance of the last victims of that spell. "Absolutely not, I have sworn myself from ever practicing that spell again!" Jahi was bemused and taken off guard that was something he hadn't expected. "Why have you stopped the practice of it? It is a noble spell and one that I really need to have done, no questions asked! Please Bakura you have to help me!"
"I SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT!" The prince coward away from the figure before him, frightened for his life. "You have no idea the sorrow and pain that spell will bring." The blonde was now interested, "I would if you told me. Might I inquire about why it is such a dangerous spell?" He knew what the book said but Bakura had seemed to know it first hand. The practitioner pointed to a painting in the corner by a little table, "You see that painting there?" Jahi observed and nodded, "Who is that?"
"That is Ryou, he was my lover."
"Was?" The prince asked while cocking his head to the side. Bakura nodded, "Aye."
"What happened to him?" It was hard for the practitioner to remember this memory but if it meant saving this vampire's life and an innocent child's then he would recite it. "Ryou was a young Duke of England that wanted no more than to be free of his mother and father's enclosed walls. He ran away and ended up here. He was nearly killed by a vampire but I saved him. He thanked me and I invited him to stay with me after I he had told me about his escape. Ryou was grateful and before we had any control, we had fallen for each other. He told me how much he longed to carry my children and I was more than ecstatic to grant his wish. Everything seemed to be well with Ryou but when he came to term…things did not go well. The night he went into labor I found out he was anemic. Ryou was a male and not built for carrying a child. He had a small frame and when he tried to deliver the baby it got stuck in his temporary birth canal. I couldn't just let him suffer and surely couldn't just let my child go into distress and die. Ryou told me to cut him to allow the baby some more room to pass. He failed to tell me he would bleed to death. My son was born but not before it I could help it, Asheni (1) never cried his first signs of life… and a few hours later, Ryou died in my arms. I watched my family die that night and all hopes of happiness slipped from my finger tips."
Jahi really was touched by the story and the bravery of Ryou. All he wanted to do was give Bakura a child, even if it meant his life. Jahi was willing to the do the same for Seth. "With all do respect practitioner, I understand your outlook on this spell but two lives are at stake and the only way to save them are to get a child involved. If the laws are followed, Seth and I will be shunned from our communities and we can live on our own and raise our child." Bakura flinched at Jahi's reasons for a child and was angered, "You want to risk the life of an innocent child just to save that of your own and your lover! Despicable! That baby will born into a world he or she was unwelcome, children are conceived out of love and are born into it!"
"Our child will be conceived out of love and will be born into it! Seth and I love each other very much and we will love our baby with ten times more the intensity!" Jahi argued back. "FINE! SO BE IT!" Bakura seethed. "BUT DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!"
Spotting a flash of light come from the ground below, Seth descended and came face to face with an opening of a cave. He entered and was reunited with the love of his life and a white-haired figure. "Thank you so much for finding my angel." The blue-eyed vampire spoke. Bakura eyed the new vamp. "You must be Seth."
"Yes, Seth Of Moon. How did you know?"
"Blondie there had much to say about you. Who would have thought enemy sons would fall in love. I see now the predicament and why Jahi was eager to find my assistance." Seth looked over his unconscious lover and found that his left wing was injured. "Practitioner, might you have something to heal a wound?" The white-haired figure nodded and brought a substance with him back to heal the blonde's wound. In just mere seconds, Seth watched the injury mend. "He is weak and must not be moved too far this night, son of the Ivory Dragons. I know of an abandoned cottage near by that you and he may stay in for the day. There are no windows or openings in the bedroom, you will both be fine in there while the sun is lighting the world." Seth nodded and thanked the practitioner for his hospitality.
OOooOO
A single candle was all the dark practitioner had left for the vampires to light the bedroom, they didn't really need it but it was a kind gesture. Seth laid the blonde on the bed and gave him the once over. He was beautiful in this light and he had an unnatural glow about him. The brunette was getting ready to shrug out of his coat and shirt when Jahi finally came to. "Whe…where am I?"
"Bakura has offered us a place to stay until the next night." Jahi sat up from bed and realized the weight from his back had gone; his wing had been healed. "Do you feel better my angel of darkness?" The blonde nodded and watched as his lover began to undress for sleep, the night had been long and the sun would soon rise. Though something in the back of Jahi's mind said that something had to be done before the next night but all those thoughts were gone when Seth was missing his shirt. The azure-eyed prince smiled at the look on his lover's face. The brunette took the gaze as an invitation to crawl onto the bed and linger over his stunned lover. Greedily, Seth took Jahi's lips in a deeply heated kiss.
… … …
Half naked and panting Jahi was pushed down onto his mattress as Seth rested atop him, equally as breathless. The blonde watched as his lover's head fell slowly to the crook of his neck and began lightly tasting the skin that was there laid before him. He barely noticed the wandering hand that began to rid him of his last piece of clothing. Jahi moaned softly with anticipation and danced his hands down the brunette's back and helped the vampire above him out of the rest of his clothing. The amber-eyed prince skillfully pushed them down as far as he could and let the brunette kick them off the rest of the way. Seth captured his angel's lips in a kiss then began to make his way down to the flesh of the clavicle. Jahi shivered and encircled his arms under Seth's arms so that he was holding on to his shoulders. The Ivory Dragon Prince then became bold and placed his hand on the part that the blonde so wanted Seth to touch, but he hadn't expected for his own hand to take its position on top of the brunette's.
"Seth…" Jahi whispered huskily. "Yes my angel of darkness?" The brunette was answered with the removal of Jahi's hand and took it as a sign to continue. He took the blonde's arousal into a firm grasp and began to pleasure him. The amber-eyed prince's hold on Seth got tighter and he threw his head back. The blue-eyed vampire leant down and pressed his lips to Jahi's willing mouth, all the while stroking harder and fast, marveling in the sweet mewls and moans he was eliciting from his lover's throat. It was becoming too much for Jahi so he held tighter to his aggressor and cried out at the height of his orgasm. Panting, he came down and smiled at his other half. "Open your legs." Seth whispered to his golden lover. The blonde obliged and waited for the first digit to enter him. It felt rather odd but it wasn't too uncomfortable until…the second. Jahi yelped from the oncoming pain, why did it hurt? They had made love before. "Don't tense up Jahi, try to relax." Were Seth's comforting words before lovingly kissing his angel. It did help distract him from the brunette's third finger but he could still feel it then he tore his mouth away from his lover's and shouted. Seth had found his sweet spot. The azure-eyed prince removed his fingers and positioned himself at his lover's prepared entrance. Slowly he slid himself in and buried himself to the hilt while he felt Jahi dig his nails into his back.
"Ssssh…it's okay, just relax." Seth cooed softly in his lover's ear, ignoring the sharp pain in his upper back. The blonde groaned in pain but began to loosen his grip as the brunette began to kiss him dotingly. Abruptly the blonde bucked his hips and elicited a moan from the teen above him. "Are you okay now Jahi?" The amber-eyed prince brought his legs up and wrapped them about the brunette's waist, "Move Seth." With the consent he was waiting for, the brunette prince did just that. Seth held Jahi's right knee on his waist and slowly pulled out before rapidly thrusting back in. Both participants shouted in pure bliss. After collecting himself, Seth began an agonizingly slow pace of thrusts. All Jahi could do was lie there and rock his hips against the brunette's, hoping that the velocity would soon speed up. "Uhhn…Seth…please…harder…" Jahi pleaded through a moan. The blue-eyed vampire complied and began rocking his hips harder and harder educing loud throaty, lust filled calls of his name. He watched as Jahi's body road with his own, causing friction that felt unbelievably excellent. Panting soon became part of the equation, panting and unpredictably violent thrusts. "Ahhh…Seth…so…close!"
"I know." The brunette whispered while feeling his body convulse with his oncoming orgasm. He watched on as the prince beneath him reached down and began to do the most erotic thing Seth had ever witnessed. He was stunned; all he could do was watch while he kept rocking against the welcoming heat of his lover. "Ohhh…Seth… Set me free!"
"Yes, come on Jahi, scream for me." The blue-eyed vamp whispered. Jahi panted while he brought himself closer to the brink. With one arm around Seth's back, holding on for dear life, while another was close to shattering his composer. "For me…Jahi…come on. Scream!" The erotic suggestion alone brought Jahi closer and he quickened his rhythm. One last time Seth hit his spot and all the blonde saw was a blinding white light as he screamed Seth's name and at that same time the brunette came violently, so much so that his great white wings unfurled and spanned out to their full length. Had Jahi been up off the mattress, his would have unfurled as well. Seth's arms could barely hold up anymore, he looked down at his satisfied angel before collapsing on top of him, panting and lost in the afterglow. This night had been too intense for the lovers; they barely even acknowledged each other before drifting off into a well-earned sleep. Things were going to be much different now.
Author's Note: Phew, that was a long one! Longest one of the story so far. I know this lemon sounds like one I already did but hey, I needed ideas from somewhere. I've written so many…I need to find more ideas. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter as much I enjoyed writing it! Thanks so much for reading and don't forget to review!
