Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The Prophecy

After the death of the first Original vampire, King Wren. Bruce his chief Knight decided to stop being a knight and cultivate his ability to see the future. Bruce became popular for his foresight ability and kept improving on this ability.

Centuries after centuries, Bruce had once again become an important figure in the kingdom's war because he was able to see into the future for up to a

Millennium and was able to protect the kingdom by telling the king about the plans of the enemy's to attack them and advice on ways in which he thinks they can counter the attacks. This has helped the Vampire kingdom conquer many other kingdoms and win a lot of war.

Unfortunately, during the last war, Bruce was no where to be found and the kingdom barely won the war and rumours began to spread, some people said that Bruce had betrayed the Kingdom while others said that he died. A giga-annum had past and still no one heard from Bruce.

In present times King Marshall, elder brother to Prince Rex was ruling the vampire kingdom and he had been king for over five hundred thousand years. The thing about him was that he didn't rule like other kings, instead he tormented the vampires making them suffer.

With the vampire economy destroyed, making only the rich richer and the poor poorer, almost everyone in the vampire kingdom despised him, but he didn't care and their conditions were getting worse. No one could do or even say anything about it, because the rules were so strict and anyone who tried to speak up would be executed instantly.

But they caught a glimpse of light when a prophecy was revealed. And they hoped it would change the kingdom for the better.

***

His majesty King Marshall has arrived."

A sound was heard in the large room. The hall was very big and there was a large long table where twelve people were seated and in front of the table were four thrones. Two smaller than the rest where a man and woman sat on, they were the king's brother prince Rex and his wife, and there was a throne bigger than the other two were a woman was seated, she was the king's Wife.

And everyone stood up as a form of respect for the King, as he walked towards the largest throne in the room with guards trailing behind him. When he had sat down, every other person followed suit.

"Greetings to the Council," The king said, "Greetings to his majesty King Marshall," One of them at the table said, he was the leader of the council "Elder Caddel Let's get straight to the point why has this meeting been called?" The King asked

"There is an old man that's going around the kingdom claiming to be the famous Bruce from the time of King Wren," The elder replied, "That is not a problem, he's probably some delirious old man. Why has a meeting been called about it? The king asked

"He Keeps demanding that he wants to see the king and saying he has something important to tell you," The Elder replied, "Where is he now? " The king asked ""We have him locked up"" he answered

"Bring him here, If he wishes to speak to me I'll allow him to," The King said and the elder signalled one of the guards who immediately went to bring him in.

Shortly after the guard returned with the man. The man had slightly grey hair and he wore a dark cloak, other than that he looked like any other normal elderly man. "Take off the cuffs on his hands," The king ordered and immediately the guard took them off.

"You wanted to speak to the king didn't you, so here I am," The king said, "So you are the current king of the vampire kingdom," The old man asked again, "I believe I had just made that clear, didn't I ?" The king said,"

"So you claim to be the legendary Bruce who disappeared a long, long time ago," The king asked. "Yes, I am Bruce, former knight of the vampire kingdom and special advisor to the late king Wren," Bruce said firmly.

"So if you are Bruce, Why are you back after over a millennium or why did you leave in the first place, where did you go and why do you want to speak to me so badly?"" The king asked him

"During the last war I had gotten into a bad accident and suffered severely, but when I was healed I had lost my foresight ability." So I decided to go into exile so I could recover and enhance my ability, It had taken so long that I did not realize how much time had past. "I wasn't able to recover my original ability but I got something even better 'Fate check' this ability doesn't only predict the future but also gives me a vision of the absolute fate of anything, anyplace or anyone," Bruce explained.

"Ok, so why do you want to speak to me?"" The king asked, I had a vision." A boy, a young vampire with amazing powers he would rebel against you and you both will battle each other. "The boy will win and kill you and then he will rule the vampire kingdom," Bruce said.

The entire room was completely quiet for a few seconds until the silence was broken by the sound of laughter. Ha ha ha ha..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..." Wow, that was very nice honestly, how long did it take you to put that story together?" The king laughed, and then asked."

So you take what I say as a joke?" Bruce asked, "Well it is very funny and entertaining, I have not laughed like this in a thousand years."" The king said "So 'Mr Bruce', when is this child supposed to 'kill' me

"The time of the battle was not clear, but this child will be born in exactly one hundred years from now and this child will be born with silver hair and his power to be so great that when he uses these powers all the stars in the Galaxy would dim and then shine aga,in" Bruce explain.e

"Ha ha ha... I can help ,it this is hilarious. Ok,ay let me guess you want me to step down from the throne or to treat the vampire like my children so that a silver haired baby doesn't kill ,me" The king sa.id

"If you feel you have to that's your own choice I am only here to inform you of your fate, but it seems you take me as a jo,ke" Bruce sa.id

"Y,es I know that you are in fact a joke. This is not the first time someone comes here claiming to be a shaman and telling me to step down from the throne so that I wouldn't die or so the ancestors wouldn't attack me" The king said

"I am King Marshall the first the greatest and most powerful king that has ever and will ever rule, so if that child you speak of ever immerges, I will squash him like a bug"

"Take him away and lock him up! " The king ordered and the cuffs were put back on Bruce and he was taken away. "He should be executed tomorrow" He ordered

"I believe we are done here" The king asked "Yes your majesty" The elder answered. And then the King and the royal family left.

***

{Later that day}

The king had shown that he didn't believe what Bruce said but deep down he was truly afraid of the possibility of it happening. And he kept pondering about it.

"ding-dong" The door bell rang

A servant opened the door and a man walked in. "I have a message to relay to the king" the man said "Alright" the servant replied and then walked away

After a few minutes the king was there and he sat down comfortably "What is the message you have come to relay?" He asked "Greetings your majesty, the man that you ordered to be locked up and executed tomorrow has escaped, and he is nowhere to be found as the council has ordered a search round the kingdom, that's the message your majesty" The messenger said

"You may leave" The king said and he left. Now the king was even more afraid than before but he still had faith in himself. With all these vampires constantly holding meetings in the castle, rumors began to spread around the kingdom about the prophesy and a ray of hope shined on them all as they eagerly waited for a hundred years
