Darkness ruled the Empire of Tenebris. Dark clouds of Malum guarded the Gates of Tenebris. Light and righteousness were already banished from the Kingdom. The only laughter that waves around is of Lucian, the Dark Emperor of Tenebris. The kingdom was surrounded by a the sea, which never had waves.
The Castle of Tenebris, never saw colors. Cursed souls made its pillars, Hatred crowned its air. The chants of the Dark heard in the air. And Lucian, is here. The doors of the Castle said,
" Imperii potestate tenebrarum, Malum firmat animum" - Darkness powers the Empire, Evil strengthens the soul.... The walls of the Castle never said its history, but only the mighty Lucian.
The eerie silence of was slowly dissipating by hurried panting and sensual moans. He shouted as he reached the climax. The girl beneath him was tired and afraid. He removed himself from her and laid beside her. The girl filled out his empty cup for him.
' You were good, kitten, for a human, you are perfect.' He laughed. ' Now you can go.'
' But, My Lord.....' the girl stopped in the middle, and got up.
' Yes... Dear.....????' Lucian glowered his eyes at the young girl.
' Nothinggg... M.. My Lord.... Grant me leave', the girl took her leftover clothes and left Lucian's chamber. She never knew that her parents and her world will only be a memory to her, she doesn't know that her parents are now in the Pillar of Souls, and she would be a young slave of Lucian, for Eternity, as people here, never aged. Unless, they left for the human world.
A man came into Lucian's chamber and bowed before him. His eyes were the color of luscious blood. He smiled at the king showing his monstrous canines and he smelled death. He was Erebus. The Prime Minister of Lucian. His second name was Evil.
'What's the matter, Erebus?? Lucian asked.
' My Lord, it's a princess. Adrian had invited all over the world for the Appellatio. What should I do, Your Highness?? '
' Oh my dear Adrian..... You are my brother and still you think that you can fight me, and save that little brat... No, my niece... (smiling devilishly) of your's?? You haven't changed much Adrian. You are more like our Father.' He laughed without any humor.
' Father was always in favor of you, isn't it Adrian?? I can still remember, it was your name that he said when he breathe his last. It was you who made my Tenebris silent, and so confined... I will not leave her to live.'
' You are not allowed to touch Aderelle, Lucian' Adrian pointed Beatus to Lucian.
'No Adrian, No.... Aren't we brothers? Do we hurt each other? Hadn't you promised me, that you will never hurt me? Don't kill me Adrian' Lucian looked into his eyes, Adrian's eyes could never hide him. His amber eyes gleamed,and he knew, that Adrian was in pain.
Adrian's heart sank. He had to point out his sword to his dearest brother. Can he kill him?? No, he cannot... We are of same blood, I cannot kill him. Adrian thought. He drew back his sword and said, ' Leave from here, Lucian. Do not touch Aderelle. This is my Kingdom, under Adrian's reign. You are not allowed, here in my Kingdom. You belong to Tenebris. Stay there.' Adrian turned from Lucian and went away.
Lucian knew about the Prophecy that his sister revealed to Adrian. About the Princess. I will not let that little garbage to bud any more. She is little weed, that should be destroyed soon....
' Don't worry, Erebus. It's my niece's Appellatio. Doesn't her Uncle Lucian wants to meet her?? It's time to pay a visit to Aderelle....
