the third king vincent
i never knew who my family was or where i came from, eldous always said it was a blessing i didnt. but i always wondered, my first memories were with babylon and delphi on the streets cold and hungery, but my favorite ones were when lord gwyndolin found us.
the lord took us under his wing and kept us safe feed us and taught us many great things such as my favorite,magic. eldous couldnt grasp it though, after we were intoduced to the great lord gwyn, we were put into a special part of gwyns army for the future. the trainers tried to get me to use brute force but i wasnt the type for it, delphi did better then me but the oldest two babylon and eldous were the best of us.
but there came a time we each had to seperate, i went with lord gwyndolin to inhance my magic and learn from seath the scaleless.
i walked down the hall of the dukes archives, collecting books for master seath. he was my teacher and my keeper, i rushed back with the book he requested. the great pale dragon couldnt move around the archives much because of his great size,"ah vincent" his deep voice rumbled through the halls as i entered his study."always a diligent boy"he said lowering his hand, i placed the books in his hand"im ready for my next lesson sir" i said standing at attention.
the pale drake taught me much of magic as well as taught me how to use a rapier, as the years went on he became more and more paranoid. eventualy i was forced to leave the dukes archives because seath had gone mad, by then i knew almost every spell known. but i was unhappy, the only thing that filled the void i had in my heart was the dragon who was like a father and my brother and sisters. i decided to go see delphi in izalith.
the witch of izalith welcomed me allowing me to stay there and learn some pyromancise as well as some darker magics. delphi seemed happy here and i could see why she fit in with them well and was always surrounded by friends helping her and cheering her on but why do i hate her for that? shes my...adopted family why do i hate it that shes happy? i thought about it as one of them walked up to me what caught my attention was her long red hair."how long are you gonna stay there and just stare?" the daughter of chaos asked sounding a bit mad, "i didnt want to inturupt delphi having fun with her friends" i told her turning my gaze back at my sister.
this daughter of chaos's name was quelag she was one of dephi's friends very harsh but means well and easy to anger. we fought like cat and dog her sister quelanna would always stop the fight, but as the fights continued i started to enjoy them finding it fun and the sound of her voice warmed my heart. one day i confessed to her and she shared my feelings i was over joyed, but shortly after that me and delphi were called to lord gywns throne. i thought it was because the witch of izalith herself was showing the same paranoia as seath, when we arrived i seperated from delphi to go visit seath.
the archives had crystal patches here and there but the workers seemed to be alright, i finaly stood before him once more. he smelled the air"vincent" he said turning his head my way a smile shown,"welcome back dear child" he welcomed me back warmly wanting to hear of my stay at izalith it seemed his affliction was gone, i told him everything from the spells even to quelag and her sister. he was delighted to hear my tales, when i left seath i promised to come visit and then i rushed over to gywns side finding i was the first one to arrive. the great lord smiled at me and patted my shoulder"well done vincent you are one of the greatest mages in lordran " he said leading me on, i looked around for my brother and sisters but i was alone. gywn stopped for a second and looked at me"vincent i have a favor to ask of you" he said his voice was very quiet. i nodded and asked what it was,"i need you to find power more power i want you to strangthen my kingdom not as a soldier but as a general i plan to make you and your siblings kings and queens of new londo" he said a serious look on his face, the years were starting to show his hair was much greyer then last time i saw him. i nodded, gywn smiled and patted my shoulder" i knew you were trustworthy" he said with a smile.
shortly after we were crowned we were given a great feast and everyone including those gywn shared power with came, it was outside so seath was able to join us. him and the witch of izalith talked alot probly sharing knowledge, babylon had to go see something about a painting, i never understood why he went from the army to being a guardian of art but he seemed to be happy. eldous and ciaran were talking and laughing and just enjoying themselves artorias and orinstine were having a drinking contest and gough watched enjoying his friends competion. i smiled thinking it couldnt have gotten better, at that moment i felt someone poke my shoulder i looked and saw quelag she wore a red dress that shined in the moons light.
she looked amazing, she smiled softly and leaned to to give me a kiss. this truely was my happiest moment in my life. after everything calmed down we went to sleep and then my brother and sisters and i left for new londo i still felt her warm lips agenst mine knowing she was telling me to work hard and see me often. but work as a king was demanding, no one was happy and always wanted more, eldous kept the people in line babylon and i made the laws and delphi was the voice of the people three years we worked to the bone, i had no time to see seath or quelag or was able to research for a stronger type of magic like gywn asked. it all seemed like it was gonna come crashing down on me until i met a primordial serpent named kaath he promised me great power of that to be able to surpass gywn it was exactly what i needed with this find i could ask the great lord for help dealing with the people. i taught my siblings how to use it but soon after the people turned strange they became more compliant, our job got easier i was able to leave and see my old mentor and quelag.
i finaly reported this to gywn, i held the magic before him and told him its name"life drain". he smiled and bid me a well done then asked how i came apon it, i told him it was from a gift from hard work. but soon he saw the life drain as a threat to him, he had his army led by orinstine beseige new londo it was then my siblings found the secret i kept from them kaaths hole the one he came to me from he called the dark void i rose from the abyss and said how no human or being could withstand being ingulfed by the abyss. we were held over the hole by orinstine,ciaran, and artorias. i struggled images of quelag flashed in my head, i begged them to release us and said that gywn told me to find power. ciaran pushed me in hugged eldous then did the same to her, babylon was the last to be thrown in i looked up watching the light fade. i damn it all i wont let this consume me i must survive i cant die not yet she still needs me. but before i realised it the abyss had already had its claws in all of us kaath tricked me and all of newlondo parished for it the many people were drown to make sure the spread of life drain stopped with us.
