The legend of the bloody and the silver moon
In the beginning the Universe was quiet. Everything that could disturb the tranquility of the universe was time itself. Since then billions of years passed and the first humans appeared on Earth. They were weak beings, with a low intellect who tried to live in harmony with the nature around them.
But human by nature is a being selfish and the balance will never be established as long as these beings will continue to live. The peace was disturbed just one hundred years since the people arrived on Earth, and the Universe started to become erratic. As people were progressing and discovering new inventions as much they were decading and they succeeded to commit acts so macabre that they were horrified by themselves.
In this world full of evil, blood and horror ,easier or harder to imagine, a little girl lived. Her name was Jundo. (Jundo = purity) There is not being on the Earth better and more innocent than her. Ever since she started to walk she was expelled from the arms of her parents because of her orange hair colour. Her silver eyes had only just known over the time just suffering but despite that she responded with kindness even people who aggressed her. At age 14 she thought that maybe her sad story will end when some nuns have offered to take care of here.
Life in the monastery was a simple life, quiet, without too many difficulties, and the girl was thankful for that until the age 18 when she met a boy who has never thought she would see ever again. He was a boy with orange hair like her. They grew both wrestling with the hard fate to earn their existence until they had been separated.
The girl hid him and she cared for his wounds and she listened to his story. It seems that his life was completely opposite from hers since they were split. He was recruited into a gang and he was forced to stain his hands with the blood of many people guilty just to survive.
Now his brown eyes had become bloody as proof of crimes what he carries. The girl felt guilty that she could not do more for him so she was decided to promise him that she will not allow anyone to separate them ever again. Two years have already passed since then, and the king's men had stopped to look for him. Between the two it created an even closer relationship than the one before, becoming even lovers.
But the situation was not this time either too delightful. One of the nuns found him when the two kissed. It was a big scandal. The boy was captured and handed over to the authorities when the girl was beaten to death for the sins committed.
The next day was scheduled the public execution of the boy. The girl was locked in a room located upstairs where she could see how people would gather by hundreds to see her lover bloodshed.
Being aware that an escape means that she will have to endure harsher penalties and even to be exiled outside the monastery the girl was determined to take any risk to save his life. So she did something crazy. She jumped out the window from 50 meters hight, but she reached on the ground unscathed, then with all her power she was determined to run till the square to stop the execution.
The crowd was becoming increasingly nervous and began even throwing fruits and vegetables in poor boy. Their blood was boiling and they were longing for the execution to take place as quickly as possible. The King's concillor approached to the king, telling him that it was the time, the crowd was too fiery to postpone the end of the criminal.
The emperor relative bored sighed, seeing that this is just another ordinary beheading where he needed to be present and he gave the much desired signal. A sad song of mandolin began to be heard and the executioner raised his sword to him to ease the boy for burden of his head. Suddenly a voice from the crowd succeeded to cover the others.
Fast steps were heard soon on the scene and she attacked the executioner, throwing his sword and shielding his lover's body with hers. The boy was surprised to see her and in the same time he argued her for being so reckless and that she wanted to sacrifice her live for someone like him. The girl's answer died on her lips when the king was up from the throne and he began to applaud loudly.
Lots of voices raised and they were so many girls surprised by the gesture by the emperor's strange gesture. The councillor wanted to offer him an advice, but the ordered him to be silent and the whole crowd settled instantly.
Jundo looked thoughtful at the King who was coming increasingly closer to them and he took the sword from the stage. The thought that the King himself would be able to take the life of a man in front of the whole crowd again sparked controversial reactions. Her legs just felt like they were going betray her, but she maintained her position stable against the cruel ruler.
When his sword touched her abdomen she made no further movement just she was looking determined at him in his eye. The boy begged her to leave because he does not want her to die knowing that he will be guilty for her death. But the king's sword hit the floor amused by the reaction of the individual.
The king touched her face carefully examining her face and her features. He's surprised to see that her beauty was downright legendary. He heard more than a story about a girl incredibly beautiful who had decided to become a nun, but he thought they were just rumors.
Her skin like porcelain and forms that were hardly to be hidden behind her clothes and her beauty was simply wasted in this way. A thought ran through his mind he took hers hand in his announcing the people that it was decided and that she will be the new queen.
A general silence swept all the people who witnessed this event and even Jundo did not believe that she had heard correctly. Seeing that the situation worsens and that the boy has almost 0 chances to survive she decided to make a pact with the king, namely that she will marry him as long as Ketsueki (boy's name) will be safe and that nobody will never harm him.
The councillor became crazy when he saw the daring what the girl proved and he began to speak loudly, the abbess fainted becase she didn't endure to be more ashamed of Jundo's behavior.
But King was satisfied and he accepted her propose. Soon Jundo was walking besides King while Ketsueki was ecorted a few steps further back from them contempting why his girlfriend had chosen to sacrifice herself for his sake. Few swearings escaped from his lips, but he was simply forced to swallow his words when one of the guard hit him in the stomach.
When they arrived at the castle they were forced to part again. The boy is thrown into prison until the wedding will take place, and the girl is stuck with this terrible king in the castle.
The night before the wedding, one month after this event, she dreamt on Ketsueki, that he was dead and he was laying in the palace yard while the ravens were wating his flesh. She was sure that this nightmare is not just a dream and that if she does nothing the boy that she loves will die.
She gave up at her faith in God, and at what she used to believe about the deity's power to be able to create a better world. She suffered all her life and when all was well and He decided to take him again from her, but this time she was not going to quit so easily.
So she did something that she would never think about, and that will make almost anybody to don't speak with her ever again. She sold her soul to the devil in exchange for power, both for her and for Ketsueki, the power to succeed to defeat their enemies and to create a better world.
Her wish came true. In the next moment two were turned into creatures with incredible power whose lives will never end. Thus the two manage to escape and they succeeded to kill their enemies, then they started to diminish suffering in the world.
As the years passed they gathered with their more people like them and they also formed a kingdom. Because the two were the most powerfull vampires, they were lured into a trap by their "dear'' friends and they were killed with the only weapon with what they might to be hurt namely the sakura tree's wood under which they first met.
It is said that when they died the others vampire were driven into another dimension, forced to think for eternity on the repercussions of their actions, doomed to feed on the blood of people who were determined to protect and that they can not go out in daylight, only at night and to always remember the horrible act that they have caused.
Despite the pact made with the devil their souls rose to heaven as two moons designed to ensure souls for eternity of those who have caused so much pain to them and to continue their plan to create a better world.
Legend says that over time their souls have obtained the power to reincarnate, but they never had the power to be found with the other. It is said that when the souls will be found the two moons will unifie to another offering the two the power that they lost and they will lead vampires to a new era of prosperity.
After he finished the legend Aizen was rewarded with rounds of applause. But his true reward was the curious and full of interest Orihime's gaze. Aizen prepared few questions for the beautiful teenage when Ichigo started to talk about how ridiculous the legend may. Aizen would be lying if he would say that he was not expected Ichigo's intervention. Actually, his intervention will help him to find the answers what he hardly wants.
"What do you think, Miss Inoue? Do you agree with Prince or do you have another idea?" Orihime felt her heart pounding faster. She knew that Ichigo will be really hurt by her response and at the same time if she will choose to keep them it she will probably not ever find the answers to her questions. Orihime looked at Ichigo addressing to him a look full of regret, then she formulated her own response.
"I think it's possible. I mean there must be an explanation for the existence of vampires although it may seem incredible. What do you think?" she asked with a curious gaze. Her curiosity incited Aizen and Ichigo has a little till he will explode seeing that she just wants to talk seriously with that jerk.
"I think that one's true. I lived quite much time on this earth and I learned and I saw a lot and I decided to think this possibility is real." He said while he was arranging his collar shirts.
"But still this legend does not explain much about many other vampire powers which makes me doubt about its truth." She said, closing her notebook.
"The real legend is more complex and it explains everything. That's the most pleasant legend what people are talking about."
"The real legend ? What do you mean by that? It mean that it has not happened as you said to us.?" The orange haired girl asked relatively lost. Aizen is feeling guilty few seconds because he did not think carefully and he was on the brink to tell her the true legend and his plans. Tactfully he returned with a beautiful to face her and he tried to offer a credible response.
"It was just a joke. I'm a scientist Miss Inoue. I'm not the kind of person to believe in such stories. Have a good day students. I will see you next time." He said exiting class. Orihime gaze followed him and she saw a small grin on his face. She felt like something told her that should take care of this Aizen, who seems to have many secrets to hide.
