Sanctuary to the Lost and Damned
Chapter one: Defeat
For all flesh is as grass
and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away,
but the word of the Lord endureth forever.
First epistle of Peter 1:24-25, New Testament.
It was like a nightmare. The No-Life King could not believe it. The human, Abraham van Hellsing, had him on the ground and had put a stake through his no longer beating heart. There was so much blood; it wasn't something he would have normally minded, in fact he had gained fondness of blood as more than just something to eat, it was after all the currency of life; This blood however came from him.
"I...lose?" The No-Life King whispered as bloody tears began to pour from his eyes.
"That's right," came a calm voice of the human hunter who had defeated him. "you lose." It did not seem real to the Vampire."This is no nightmare from which you'll soon awaken." The Human added.
He just lied there in pain. "Nothing remains of your castle and feudal estate; all your servants have died. The Host's mark, too, leaves her precious flesh. She shall never become yours."
His mind kept thinking that this all must be some sort of nightmare. How could he have lost to a mere mortal? And on top of that his true loves' reincarnation, Mina, was now lost to him. He had entranced her hoping that her memories of her past life with him would return to her. He was not given enough time for that to happen. 'Oh Mina.' He thought, 'Why could you have not stayed with me, we could have been happy'.
The Human was now in a fury. He saw the human's fist come hard and painfully down on his chest. The human then pulled him roughly up. The Vampire almost fell backwards, but was caught by the human's hateful grip. "Count," the human yelled "You have nothing left." The Human shock him back and forth. "You pathetic No-Life King!" His piecing blue eyes digging into the Count's dull red ones. "You have nothing left, Nothing!"
The count looked up to the angry face of the Human who had defeated him. Perhaps the human had been expecting some reaction from the vampire. The truth was that he was exhausted. The final conclusion of everything he had ever done was meaningless. No matter what the Human said he simply did not care anymore.
The world went black for the No Life King.
