It was a bright sunny day at castle Pale-Blood. In a small but not too small (big enough for a family of five) courtyard, two kids around the age of four could be seen exiting the front door. These two children we're Godfrey Pale-Blood and Aria Ziri. They were on their way to the Dukes study. Yesterday he had told them of a big surprise he had for them.
As they were walking by a few noble women, they noticed the women were giving looks of distain and disgust in their direction. But their gaze seem trained on one individual in particular, Aria. She as a servant got used to stares like that. The day she could walk and talk was the same day the Duke moved her from her family's servant courtyard home and told her to serve his son as his personal servant. Aria didn't understand her role all that well and was confused about why people treated her different than some children. It wasn't until she repeatedly got stares like these, sometimes follow by harsh words that she finally knew where she stood. Although Aria saw one light on the end of the dark tunnel and that light was Godfrey.
Godfrey, no matter what the situation was never treated her different. When they were alone he would call her his little sister and told her "No matter who it's is, if anyone we're to hurt you, and I have the strength to protect you they will cease the breathe on this Earth again. If I can't do it, I could just get Papa to help me." She could still remember how serious he was when he started his pledge but then switched to a goofy grin at the end. "Look it's that purple eyed commoner girls the Duke took in 2 years ago." One if the laidies said in the group. " I heard her majesty took her in to be the little prince's play thing due to her good looks." Another woman said. "uggh" one of the the women spat. "That peasant bitch isn't fit to enough to lick the prince's shoes. only one of our daughters are worthy enough for the prince." A shrill sounding woman stated. "Hahahaha" unanimous laughter filled the air. Meanwhile the two kids continued walking towards the Dukes study. Aria with her head hung low, dispirited, and Godfrey had his little fist tightly clenched, so tight that they were as pale as snow, blood could be seen dripping from where his finger nails had dug into his flesh.
A few minutes later the little duo finally made it to the king's study, they proceeded to knocked on the door. " Come in," the Duke beckoned them forth. "I'm sure you two are wondering what I called you here for. My warhorse black fang has sire two pure young. One male and one female for the two of you. Now I know they might look a bit strange but these are one of the best horses you could in the entire world, let alone this small continent." Now that the two children took a closer a look they could see two curled foals with white all over their body. " These are baby Pale-Blood horses, they have deep roots to our family and to the origins of our very being. They are very special mounts for they can absorb their owners blood and evolve into a form akind to that person's bloodline and has a chance of Awakening any hidden bloodlines in the blood. Furthermore they can absorb bloodlines of other beast with the same Affinity as them to further grow and evolve their bloodlines. All in all these are the most suitable mounts for us vampires that use bloodlines to increase our power." Siegfried walked over to the two foals and picked up the smaller one if the two. Holding it in his hands he beckoned Aria over to him. " Come little one, dispense a drop of your blood into it's mouth to start the fusing process. Aria did as she was told, she used one of her little fangs and punctured her thumb, she raised her hand with the wound above the foals mouth, blood slowly dripped in. WOOSH! A bright light filled the room. At the center of the disturbance a little girl and baby horse could be see staring at each other. Two halos atop each other heads, both blue and white. The baby female horse slowly started changing colors from all white to having blue fur all over her body, on it's head it was now sporting a purple mane complementing it's now purple eyes. "ahhh" Aria gasped. " She's beautiful," "you can give it any name you wish little one," Siegfried's voice arrived at Aria's ear. "hmm, I'll call her....Rose.
Godfrey watched on in amazement throughout the whole process. "these creatures are fascinating, I must learn of their origin." He thought to himself, "Father where do these amazing creatures come from? And why do they look so different from your horse?" " Patience son, I will reveal all to you when the time is right. Right now you need to bond with your horse so it can transform." "Alright father I'll do as you say." Godfrey proceeded to walk towards the larger of the two foals. As if noticing his presence the foal struggled to his feet to greet it's about to be master. Noticing the cute little foal struggling to greet him, Godfrey became amused by it's efforts. He then opened his mouth and used one of his unusually long fangs for kid his age an pierced his right thumb. Deep crimson blood so red that it seemed almost back, trickled down his thumb into the little foal's mouth. It accept the blood with glee. WOOOSSHH! A light many times brighter than the previous enveloped the room. Two figures could barely be seen at the source of the light, two rainbow halos atop their heads. The young foal slowly started transforming at a speed visible to the naked eye. By the time the process was done 20 minutes had pasted, which was significantly longer than Rose's transformation which only took about 8 minutes.
After the transformation had finished the young foal looked significantly different from before. Instead of the previous white that covered his body, now he had black fur all over his body except for a few places, namely around his eyes and near base of it's hooves. Those were saturated in a crimson red. Lighting patterns could bee seen jutting out from his hooves, his eyes pitch black, like the deepest abyss. "Hes magnificent," Godfrey said in admiration. "Go on son, give him a name." "hmmm, how about Red Lighting, those patterns on it's body made me think of it." " That's a fitting name for a mighty steed," Siegfried lightly chuckled. "Neigh," the newly named foal harped in agreement. "Now you can play with them a bit but then I'll have to send off to stay with their parents in the plains." Siegfried declared, "Awwww," both kids said in displeasure.
"Don't worry, when your old enough you can move them to the stable in the back of your courtyard." "Okay," both kids said with glee. Siegfried looked at his son, he had light green eyes with crimson red hair, he shared the same dark complexion as his father. Next, he looked at the little servant girl he took in to watch over his son with that special power of hers. She had dark purple eyes with hair as black as the deepest part of the abyss. Her skin was milk white complemented with and oval shape face. If one were see her and not know her status she would be labeled as extremely beautiful, so beautiful she could make 100 army's fight for her to the death. Alas, she was of lowly birth, frowned upon by nobility. Only see has a tool and nothing more. "Haha," Siegfried chuckled. "They are a perfect match."
