Chapter 1 - the death of the sovereign

Munich Germany Winter 1951

"From our spies report, its reported that the convoy of Hilter will pass by this bridge exactly twenty four hundred hours"

A shadow appeared before the man "you handle the distraction, I will proceed with the assassination, in case I failed continue with the escape plan."

Then the man disappeared without a trace.

"General who is that?" Asked a soldier

They all felt goosebumps when the man appeared as if they were dipped in ice-cold water.

"Have you heard of Lucifer?"

"You mean the most wanted assassin who has no record of assassination failure?"

"That's him!" the general said as he shivered

"Even the most renowned assassin is not sure to succeed," another soldier said

They all felt tensed. This only proved that this mission is very difficult.

The ground shook, sounds of the roaring engine is heard.

The general gave the signal, the soldiers readied their RPG. Their breaths are deep and heavy, hands and feet are cold. Before they left for this mission, they all spent a month with their families, they might die today but they are all resolute to bring their targets along with them to their graves.

Each targetted a vehicle, waiting for the general to give the signal. All felt that the time is very slow.

The convoy entered the bridge.

"Fire!" shouted the general.

All fired their RPG, hitting their targets.

"Attack with grenades!" the soldiers threw grenades simultaneously. The place is like hell on earth, the platoon of enemy soldiers are dying from the flames and sharp nails of the grenades.

A dark shadow roamed across the vehicles looking for his prey. Lucifer got close to the tank at the middle of the formation. When he opened the tanks hatch, a blodied man is smiling at him.

'This is bad, were busted!' All he could think of is to escape, but before he could run for his life he suddenly felt that his body felt heavy.

"Shit, poison!" Lucifer thought back when he was poisoned, but his current problem is on how he could escape his predicament.

He looked back at the man, holding his chest while smiling. Lucifer felt all his hair stood, his insinct tells him that he is in mortal danger.

The man inside the tank pressed hard on his chest, the moment his heart stopped beating, the mans body bloated like a balloon and exploded. Red mist sipped out of the tank.

Lucifer who is just a few feet away from the man, struggled to move. He used his nails to cut through his thigh. Blood flowed, rapidly soaking his pant with his own blood.

The vampire assassin manipulated his blood as strings and attached it to his joints. Like a puppet, he controlled himself and somersaulted away from the tank. No matter how fast he moved away, the most managed to enter his system thru his wound.

Lucifer shouted "were busted! Retreat!"

Despite the loud and roaring sound of weapons and bombs, Lucifer's voice is very clear. The men in charge of the ambush quickly turned and left running as fast as they could.

As elite soldiers, they knew what to do the moment their mission is compromised, "escape!"

Lucifer used all his strength to escape in another direction. He is having a feeling that he is being targeted. He saw another bridge nearby, Lucifer is panting hard, his body felt heavy. Having lost massive amounts of blood, he could feel his vitality draining fast.

The poison prevented his body for healing, he knew that this has been a setup. As for who the instigator is, he already had his guess.

Lucifer felt his eyes and body getting heavier with every step, having lived for thousands of years, he had long grown tired of living.

A man stood behind him, smiling he said "Lucifer my friend, how's my gift?"

Lucifer stood straight and looked back, "Helsing! Feeling proud are you?"

"Hahaha... After years of chasing like cats and dogs, the almighty sovereign of the night, Lucifer is finally on his final end of the line."

Helsing laughed like crazy, his family has been cursed by the Gods to never live past the age of 30 until they slew the traitor of heavens, Lucifer. For a thousand years his family lived with this curse.

The first Helsing is an archangel sent to the mortal world to slay Lucifer, however, he fell in love with a mortal woman and failed to slay Lucifer who was almost on his last breath. Giving him sufficient time to recover from his injuries.

Angered the Gods placed a curse on his bloodline, to never live past the age of thirty until they killed the traitor.

Currently, Helsing is the 33rd generation of vampire slayers. Looking at his enemy, Helsing recalled all events in the past, losing all his loved ones one after the other in their pursuit to kill Lucifer. Tears filled his eyes, "grandfather, father, uncles, aunts, cousins, the curse that our family suffered for thousand years will finally be lifted."

Lucifer looked at Helsing's crying face, he smiled "thank you, I can finally rest in peace. I hope in our next life we could still be together Claire."

Then a ball of light from his head shot through Helsing's head. It was his memory, from before he escaped from heaven.

Helsing stood from his spot absent-minded as he saw scenes and events that were new to him.

A Lucifer is with a beautiful angel walking in a garden, then there were memories of their happy relationship. The two got married, when he was sent on a mission his wife was left alone. The moment he returned he saw his wife being defiled by the head angel. Lucifer slew the head angel and brought his wife with him, he plans to bring her with him to the mortal world and escape but was caught. Lucifer was put to jail and was tortured till his last breath. His wife was killed and her soul was placed in a flask.

Then the demons invaded the heavens and started a war. Luckily the jail was destroyed and he managed to escape barely surviving. He escaped to the mortal world, but as an angel who has been stripped of his divinity, he became a fallen.

Fallen are what they now called vampires. The Gods found out of his escape and used his wife's soul and placed it on a human vessel. She initially roamed the earth in search for Lucifer, but fate played them and she then again fell in live with Lucifer in his human form. They had a child and named him Helsing, after a year his wife regained her memories and struggled to escape from the Gods control to kill Lucifer. In the process she killed herself. Lucifer was chased by the Gods army while their son was taken captive.

The Gods grew mad and placed a curse on their child, to never live past the age of 30 before they killed Lucifer. Lucifer could have let his son killed him when he became an adult, but the Gods wanted him to suffer they bound her soul with him and would not reincarnate if he will be killed by his own bloodline. This the endless chase started.

His son was adopted by the church and is brainwashed to kill him. He waited for a thousand years for this day, for one of his descendants to kill him through the use of other people.

The memory ended and Helsing saw the smiling face of the man who he thought he should hate with all his guts. The sun rose and the body of Lucifer turned to dust, Helsing is still in shock of the memories he saw.

Memories flashback as he recalled all the events that happened while he is chasing to kill Lucifer. In all events, it was always he who chased and Lucifer never fought back, the unknown hatred he always carried is nothing but a farce created by the instigators of his family's curse.

He who always thought he is doing the right thing realized that they were played. "Damn you, Gods!!" he shouted on top of his lungs. But the words Lucifer sent him made him forget about taking his revenge. "Live your life! No matter what happens, live a happy life without regrets"
