Kerthia

Adjusting her green bows that clung to her pink long pig tailed hair. Nevinna ran her slender fingers through the right side of her hair while continuing to walk side by side with her friends Ognen and his sister. Having fallen silent she continued to nervously fret with the ends of her straight pink hair. Her thoughts continously on all that they had lost. So much sorrow, so much sadness...so much death had taken the lands of Kerthia.

'I wonder if we'll ever be the same again. I wonder if we'll ever get past this.'

Nevy wondered as she sighed sadly. Her eyes glanced towards Ognen and his sister as she gave a reassuring smile towards them for she didn't want him or his sister to be concerned about her. Nevy tried her best to hold up any sign of hope.


Meanwhile....

inside the throne room of the Vampire Kings castle, in his realm the king himself sat at his throne his long clawed fingers grazed the arm rests of his hard throne chair. His dark eyes held an evil glow to them within the darkness as his long jet black hair trailed behind him practically flowing around him within his strong dark aura. A evil sinister laugh could be heard as he had the ability to watch anyone and anything he saw fit to within his powerful globed sphere.

"So pitiful. And they think they can be rid of us so easily. Especially me, ha ha ha. As ever! I think I find find perfect use for them as toothpicks!"

The vampire king chuckled showing off his sharp pearly white fangs. Glancing at his henchmen he smirked as he ordered them to wreck havoc within the lands. They nodded and disappeared the way that they had arrived. Which only amused Devios all the more.

"Keep up the evil work my minions. More people must be tortured...must die."

He laughed evily.


Somewhere else further away from the vampire kings kingdom, a lone vampire traveled alone in silence. Sickened by the outcome and the fate that had already be fallen Kerthia. He just couldn't believe how it had all come to this too. Proklet sighed shaking his head his light black hair bounced with the movement of his head. This was just bad. No terrible. Absolutely terrible. He had found more humans dead and it had literally disgusted him. Wrinkling his nose he made a face as he sighed. Looking almost tired even though vampires didn't tire out. It was more so stress or tired of being stressed.

'If only all this madness stopped.'

He thought to himself as he lightly scratched his head.

"We will be the same as before!" Darra happily skipped next to Nevy and Ognen. "We've been trough horrible things, we'll probably face more stuff on the way, but we'll be the same when everything ends!"
"No, Darra..." Ognen replied to his younger sister. "We'll never be the same again. We're changed and will continue to change... I don't know if this is for better, or for worse... Maybe that's what growing up feels like. Nevy? Is there something wrong?"
Darra jumped on her brother's back. "Cheer up your girlfriend! Now!" "Shush!" He angrily whispered to his sister trough his teeth. However, he would admit - despite of the slight embarrassment, deep down he felt happy about that.
"Nevy, we'll never be the same again..." Ognen almost forgot about his sister on his back. "We'll be better, I promise!" He smiled. "There will be no fear, nor misery... once the king positions are available for somebody else..." He spoke the second part of his sentence quietly, in dark manner.

Nevy looked more tired then she had ever been. They had been walking already for several hours. Even though it had been a few months since she had lost her brother due to the Vampire King, it didn't lessen the pain. 'I hate this hunger for power. Not just from the Vampire King but we're also dealing with the stupid Demon King as well. Sometimes I wonder how can three humans make much of a difference.' Nevinna thought to herself in thoughts. However hearing Darra's words she sighed honestly she didn't think that was true at all. At least for herself, Nevy knew there was no way she could ever be that sweet innocent girl they had grown up together with. That girl had long since died when her brother was murdered. When her innocence was torn due to the horrible loss of her brother.

"I'm afraid I will never ever be that girl again, Darra."

Nevy admitted sadly. She knew more then ever that was true. She couldn't be that girl anymore. Clenching her fist as her thoughts went to the Vampire King. She wasn't a skilled fighter but she was trying to learn how to defend herself but not very well. Oddly enough she managed to kill one vampire already but that was a female not a male as men tended on being a lot stronger, even though vampires were stronger then humans. Even so she still had difficulty believing she had managed to kill one already along their journey. Though they hadn't been attacked for awhile now which seemed weird. The back of her hairs against her neck tried telling her to be ready at any moment in case of a surprise attack. Blinking she looked at Ognen suddenly. She had completely missed the reference of what growing up felt like. Though she managed to catch Ognen's voice as he asked her if anything was wrong. She noticed the hint of worry in his voice.

"Same as always. I wished people would have to stop dying at the hands of the vampires and the demons. I wished for peace. This burden is too much at times. Then I think about my brother...he had his whole life ahead of him but they stole that from him."

Nevy answered him her voice trembled it almost sounded like she was either going to just fall or cry. But oddly enough she did niether. Moving out of hearing range she had missed what Darra had said about Nevy being Ognen's girlfriend. Her eyes went to look at Ognen as he spoke to her yet again. She gave him an appreciative nod as she tried to give him a smile even though it came out more as a weakened one.

"I hope so. Are we almost there in an area we can rest for awhile. I'm beat."

Though she wondered who would end up taking the thrones once they managed to be rid of the vampires and the demons espeically the kings.



Meanwhile....


Proklet continued to move rather in fast movements due to his abilities. His mind continued to wander as a frown spreaded on his face. What could he do to change his own fate? What could he do to make a change in the odds of good versus evil? The vampire sighed shaking his head for he had no idea's whatsoever to solve this problem.
Winching against that powerful force that was trying to force him to do such evil deeds. A painful voice trying to command him to kill and slaughter innocent people like he had done so in the past not being able to fight it then. However now he could barely manage and that's why he felt so drained as it was a constant battle against the kings power over him.

'No I will not hurt innocent people anymore. LEAVE me alone!'

His mind practically screamed at the Vampire King directly whether the king could read vampires minds or sense their emotions or not. He couldn't give in, he just couldn't!

"Alright, let's take a break..." Ognen suggested, since they've been walking for hours. "Whyyy?" Darra moaned. "Now? We just went off!"
"Get off my back and take a rest! We already reached our resting destination!" Ognen ordered. Darra was slightly annoyed, so she decided to mockingly repeat what he just said. He sighed in annoyance and rolled his eyes.
"Hey..." He turned to Nevinna. "This will sound weird... but... do you want to talk to Surtse? I bet he and Rosalie will be listening to us from... wherever they are right now. Maybe talking to them will give us strength." He spoke in calm voice.

Nevy undid the pack as soon as Ognen announced that they could finally stop from their journey. Thankful that they had finally reached the spot they were going to camp for the night. Keeping to herself she fell silent hearing the siblings practically getting on each other's nerves. Noticing Ognen speaking to her green eyes looked up into his own eyes as if reflecting their images through them. "I guess that would be fine." Her voice a little awkward as she blushed answering his question. She couldn't help but think Darra seemed a little annoyed that they had decided to camp for the night. She hated causing a problem between the two. Falling back into silence she blushed feeling a little out of place between the tow of them. As the sky darkened even more Nevy helped at making a camp fire so that they could keep warm during the night as it began to cool down. The stars lit up the sky above them as the sounds of nature took place.

Proklet moved throughout the woods. His head ached horribly as if something had hit his face repeatedly. His adrenaline rushed through his head as he groaned stumbling through the woods. When will this agony ever stop? He wondered in dismay. Though he paused suddenly sensing something out of place. Trouble was brewing....'I sense three humans nearby....and somewhere southeast running in their path....are a bunch of demons waiting to slaughter them like cattle.' He thought breaking into a run. But he paused again. He sensed more trouble coming from the northwest heading in their direction too. Vampires....about to attack them. He just had to help them!

Meanwhile somewhere else within the woods....

"I smell fresh blood. Two women and one man. This should be really easy. Oh what fun!"
A fat muscled demon with blood red eyes laughed which came out more like a cackle as he flexed his muscles. His long razer sharp claws that looked like they could cut through almost anything. The demon had killed and mutilated many women before making them go through horrible agony, torturing was what he did best. Nothing like slow painful death that seemed to excite him further.

"Maybe we should make the man watch too. Show him how pitiful he truly is. Unable to protect anyone at all."
The thin tall demon said with tusk like teeth as he grinned wickedly to his fellow demon's suggestions. He liked the guys sick cruel imagination. The guy had true vision of how to make others suffer. They shared the same interests in that however he loved to leave his signature in his victims besides often collected.

Somewhere else within the woods....

Vampire eyes several at that glowed spotting their prey. "Fresh blood. I shall drain them dry leaving their dead corpses along the soiled ground. But which one hmmm which one." The long blonde man said as he looked like what one called a pretty boy. Except he was several years old. He was obviously no boy. Beside him a few more vampires stood. One being a woman. Her dark black hair fell behind her in long strands. "I call dibs on the man. I will lure him with my captivating eyes."
The woman smiled moistening her dark crimson lipstick. Another laugh could be heard somewhere behind him. "Oh Dhalia you are so twisted." The spiked red haired man laughed as he wore all black as if dressed for goth. "Though we better hurry if we want to out do the demons again. Got to score several points for creativity." He laughed mockingly. He motioned them forwards hissing within the night as they came fast towards Ognen, Darra and Nevinna causing Nevinna to scream when she is suddenly attacked to the ground and pinned by the spiked red haired vampire. While the blonde went at Darra trying to grip her shoulders to try to hold her back. Dhalia went for Ognen preventing him from helping his sister or Nevy. No he would simply have to deal with her before getting to either of them.

Proklet came onto the scene as he noticed the three vampires attacking but suddenly the three demons appeared too growling as if they were having their property taken from them. They lunged for Proklet thinking he was with them as he was left trying to fend them off. However he would only have to fight one of them as the other two went for the other vampires causing it impossible for Ognen to still get to Nevy as now a demon and vampire blocked him from getting to her, and the demon and vampire both tried to take Darra down. The female vampire went for Ognen again as the demon who tried to fight her did too. Proklet struggled against his attacker though hissing away. "You will not harm any of them!" he hissed angrily.

Ognen and Darra were furiously struggling with the vampires and demons.
Ognen grabbed Dhalia and spun her, hitting the demons and vampires around him with her. Darra managed to uise her whip and started hitting the enemies around her. The vampire that pinned Nevy took many hits in the back. "LET HER GO!" She yelled. Ognen's foot started colliding repeatedly with the vampire's ribs. "You heard her. Let. Her. GO!" The last kick was the most powerful and full of flames.

Proklet helped Darra when a demon attacked her from behind taking a hit for her instead as he saved her life. Though only Darra would've been able to know that. As Nevvianna tried fighting off the vampire that held her down. As it attempted to bite her. She wasn't much of a fighter however it ignored them until she kicked his shins as she was able to break free panting from having been grabbed by the throat. She felt dizzy as she fought to keep her focus.

The vampire she had attacked hissed as it charged at her however it suddenly burst into flames due to that last kick that had been done by Darra. "Thanks Darra." Nevy replied coughing hard. However her eyes widened. "Darra!!! Look out!" She screamed warning her friend as a vampire grabbed her from behind.

"Don't any of you move unless you want to see her die before your eyes." The vampire threatened. Most of the vampires were already dead except Proklet and the one that held Darra hostage. However one of the demons still fought trying to attack Ognen. And another blocked Nevy from being able to help. Proklet was the closest. Grabbing a tree branch he carved it with a pocket knife and hurled it at the vampire hitting it in the shoulder, he knew it wouldn't kill the vampire but make it hiss in pain enough to release Darra before Proklet lunged at it and killed it with another spike into the chest. The vampire hissed violently before catching on fire and turning into dust.

"All you alright?" Proklet asked Darra.
