Ariel's face quickly turned towards Matt.
"Woah! right there. Don't do that. I almost had an heart attack", Matt complained for all those times he was being completely ignored like some shadow. Even people admire them and it only took a second to get his attention through that.
'Wait ! Are they couple ?.... No way. I would have known. I've been watching August since he became adult and he would never hide his sexuality from me. From his father, right ? Haha. Even if it was, I still would give blessings to my son', Matt was deep in thoughts.
"What did he say about me?", Ariel stopped walking then released annoyed aura almost like he read his thoughts or maybe he couldn't wait to hear them.
"The thing is.... August said, he met someone amazing and he couldn't wait for an adventure coming along and you were very powerful. One day when he become like you, he's gonna take revenge on his lost brother, Paul."
[Chapter 23 for those who forget Paul]
"...", Ariel had a little smirk on his thin lips.
As they passed down the corrider with cameras and empty abandoned rooms, they finally reached another metal gate at the end similar to the main entrance without any guard. They stopped infront of it when the ground shook with mild vibration & both suspected it might be where Travis and Noah be at.
After a while, it went silent. No matter whatever the circumstances, they had to rescue August. Matt explored for the ways to enter the gate inside the building which again touched upto the ceiling. He could feel another empty hall within the darkness across the gate. The previous gate had an entrance but that one didn't, rather there was some kind of motor attached to it. It wasn't a simple acess.
Matt with his strong arms tried to push it, ~shhkkkk~ his palms burned. He quickly withdrew them as they were seriously damaged with just a single touch.
He looked at Ariel who was observing them as his burns healed rather slower than normal speed for vampires.
"Purus Argentum", Ariel mumbled which meant 'Pure Silver'.
"A what ?.....Aghhh!", Matt asked trying his best despite the injury.
"Move", Ariel came forward. He pressed his right hand against the gate and 'boom'. Whatever it was either motor attached to it or electric cable, it was destroyed. He further pushed adding another arm as the gate of pure silver bended with his force creating a tear within the metal enough to walk through it. Again, Matt had another surprise.
The pure silver didn't harm Ariel, not even a scratch. The main weakness of a vampires is silver which could turn them into dust if penetrated through their heart. It was the weapon of defense against the vampires throughout the history of mankind.
They were even used by gods in the war with devil whose soilders were different monsters from hell including the vampires, that crawled and distroyed anything throughout the night. The war which took place at the beginning of mankind before the Adam was born and Eve was created from Adam's rib, when gods roamed on the earth before they ascended to heaven & gate to hell would open time to time on full moon initiating the war forever.
The gods loved the light. They abided love, kindness, peace, happiness and all the positive aspects there existed. But, as there exist light there is darkness, as there exist love there is hatred, as there exist peace there is violence. That is how the universe existed at equilibrium in the first place.
The gods rejected all the negativity that came along their way and refused to accept tossing it aside. As the time passed, a drop turned to puddle, a puddle tuned to lake, a lake turned to river, a river turned to sea, a sea turned to ocean and the ocean turned to abyss as the underworld was born.
Those gods or any creation who accepted all the aspects not discriminating them were punished, vanquished and descended to underworld for eternity. They were expelled from light as they were loved by darkness. All the hatred, vengeance, jealousy, sadness, resentment, guilt, loneliness welcomed them and stayed by their side. They lived and survived receiveing the punishment they didn't deserve for so long as they lost count and 'King of Hell' was born, a strong leader showing the only hope to freedom.
He resented those who despised them and didn't respect a lifeform. He felt all the pain his people lived with for eternity. He fell in love with destruction when the creation was out of his reach. The road to freedom for his people, they proclaimed as Monsters was blocked by gods who walked freely on light like they had a right to imprison a life setting a rule by their own.
That was how the war started in the first place as Ariel was the direct descendants of King of Hell, who walked among living as a dead for centuries and reborn in a new advanced world.
When he pushed the silver gate, it wasn't like he didn't get hurt rather it healed back faster than the damage would appear. They entered through tear to get confronted by a doctor carrying a tablet on his hand.
"Who the hell are yo....?", Matt was speechless seeing the thing he never could have never imagined would be possible in any of his imaginations.
