Nacht raises his hand up in the air, and like a magnet his sword went up to the hand that was raised, a faint smell of rancid filled the air as he chants, "Barrier zone, the reaper of demons!"
[flash back]
The cries of a child fill a chamber as its apparent mother, in a joyful tone, exclaimed.
"I have created a child!, just like the humans". The woman was pleased to a fault as she caresses the baby, it seemed this was her way of saying she had gone through the process of giving birth directly to her child. In the monster kingdom, children are extracted from the female's body. After the mating, once a woman is confirmed pregnant, the baby is to be extracted from her body, as female monsters alike possess a special womb that can remove the fetus and can place it anywhere. Of course, to humans that would be a murder attempt, but this was normal for the monster kingdom as they immediately place the babies in a special capsule that gives the baby it's required monster form, abilities, and aptitude registration for the use of QI. But this one baby was born in a normal manner and although the mother could not feel the pain of labor or birth, it was questionable if it was truly a normal birth.
"Waaaah, waaah"
A woman with purple hair, purple eyes, wearing a revealing gown suited to her being, she had a snake like lower body and even that was a color purple, she was an absolute beauty and her confidence was eminent,
"Scylla what are you going on about, and what is this child doing with you. You disappeared for nine months and I came back to find you with a baby".
Scylla was eager to tell gorgon of her so-called breathtaking experience, the mother of this child was a vampire with silver hair, deep crimson eyes, pale skin and a rather slender figure. She was wearing a red garment, and it seemed she wrapped the baby in a similar cloth. The woman was just with two caretakers that took the position of doctor and nurse when the birth procedures began. She grabbed Gorgon by the elbow, standing as if what she just went through was a walk in the park. She was full of energy, unexpected from a woman who just gave birth moments ago.
"Come on, Gorgon touch him, isn't he cute ".
Gorgon wore a confused but subtle smile as she tapped Scylla in the head, like a big sister to her little sister. Of course, this was wrong as they are both married to the same man whom they call their king, and is the ruler of the monster kingdom "beast king, Typhon Minos".
"Oh Scylla, why do you always carry out your experiments in an uncanny manner? Do you wish to anger our husband?"
Scylla looked indifferent, as if she didn't hear anything of what Gorgon had said, only looking at the bundle of joy she wrapped and placed gently in a cradle.
"I'm talking to you, you know, ugh____ you always do this, going off witHout saying a word and then bring back something you find amusing. At this point, you are beyond helpless".
Scylla sighed with disbelief, although the statement was true. She then takes the baby and attempts to leave for their castle with Gorgon.
" Big sis, let's go already, I don't have time for your lectures".
"You're hopeless, you know that", Gorgon mutters as they take off with unbelievable speed.
(They arrived at the castle)
"Why, if it isn't little miss runaway". A woman with bright blue skin, long silky dark blue hair and green eyes, with feathers extending out of her back as she wore a beautiful night robe. She approached them and with a displeased attitude asks Scylla
"Are you done playing house, you insufferable brat"
Scylla, at a loss for words" _______HK".
Of course, not all the wives of king Typhon would get along like Scylla and Gorgon, some are arrogant and self-serving but that too is because of their hierarchy as being a ruler's wife going to their head.
"Siren, must you always be this annoying?"
Siren was furious as she felt insulted by Gorgon's words
" every one in this kingdom was made to please me and my king. As I cannot understand why a common bush snake like yourself became one that caught his eyes as did my beautiful self. The mere thought of it bothers me, but I shall ignore you as everything in the world is mine, leaving a little snake like yourself to slither along garbage, won't do me any harm, but do know the mere sight of you irritates me ever so painfully".
"Now that's enough, Siren"
This voice was one these women knew all too well, it was none other than the voice of their husband who sat upon the throne, in the throne room where they were bickering.
"I have told you all that fighting among yourself displeases me. And wish for you all to get along, my beauties".
The women bowed and smiled as their king and husband addressed them.
"Sorry, my liege, please forgive our foolishness".
The three of them recited in sync. The king had just noticed the baby in Scylla's hand and asked, "whose child is that", Scylla replies boldly and with a smile, "ours". The man looked pleased with her answer, "I see, I have ten children one more wouldn't hurt, haha". The man looks at the child and proceeds to check his aptitude for QI
And finds that the boy had zero aptitude. The man became furious and says, " I want nothing to do with this defective child!!!"
Scylla was indifferent, as if the insult to their child was nothing at all" well I knew you'd notice its lack of aptitude, I guess I'll raise him away from the castle. Such a shame too, my research lab is here, uuuuuh", the king was satisfied with her suggestion," do as you wish"
(16 years later)
"Nacht dear, are you alright". The boy was practicing slaying monster animals that were in the kingdom, he hears his mother's call and goes over to her, "I am fine Mum, that I am"
The woman hugs her son and proceeds to give him a medicine. It seems Nacht was unable to control his bloodlust, and so she gave him a drug to suppress that urge as him,
She would help him with magic training and help boost his physical strength with daily practice. The aim was to make him strong enough to become a general and make his father notice him. Today was the day of the trials, where he would fight in a tournament to become a selected candidate. The matches had gone on for a long and he won every single fight against other monsters. But the something broke within him, the rush of battle had set his adrenaline full throttle as the boy continued to fight, the bloodlust became unbearable, and he killed his opponent. The people who attended the event had just seen Nacht break the only rule of the tournament, which was no killing. Nacht had just taken a person's life, but his face was as if he were enjoying the sunrise, blissfully basking in the limelight, in reality he was simply overjoyed with killing his opponent and went on to kill everyone present. Women, men, children and fellow participants of the tournament. His mother, seeing her crazed child, seemed unfazed and uttered a single sentence as she abandoned him, " I guess the experiment was a bummer". The guards captured Nacht and sent him to the king, the king gave the boy a look of pure disgust and asked he-be sent to through the universal gate to the human capital as a fugitive. Of course, all this did not faze the boy as he looked his happiest" joy, joy,joy, love, love, love, bliss utter bliss" the boy muttered as he was sent through the gate.
