As Moss awoken from his concussion he finds himself strapped down on a chair that seems to suck away his power from him, the metal was perhaps silver... an element that was regarded to have the higher purity that can even absorb the holy light if given the proper procedures to imbue it with the power. the boy thought to himself with a blank expression he looked around the room.
the smell was rancid as if blood has completely rotted out the floor, the green tiles makes the place eerie as it was lit up by a single old European style gas lamp at the corner of the room, the floor was stained by a dark brown liquid that seemed to have lingered for far too long and has wasted away from where it sits. Moss felt nothing but the urge to leave the place immediately.
not long after he had woken up the wooden door with metal bars reinforcing it has swung open and an older person has came in, dark blue hair greying and an eyepatch over his left eye, a well trimmed beard, he had a uniform that looks much more lavish than the ones following him around with a badge looking similar to a crest... of the magic city... it was a sun with a chemtrail on the center it was a golden badge that seems to be the most noticeable piece of his attire.
"Now... the demon child is awake... did you say the Viscount of Asphodel has turned him?" the soldier mages behind the officer has nodded as they approached the towering man whispering into his ear while holding onto their clipboards. "Ah so it also knows magic based on your observation and also knows about the intricacies of magic theory that our scholars has just been delving into..."
The old officer lit up a cigarette, when the smoke reached Moss's nose he began suffocating from it forcing him to expel air from his lungs leaving him from a state of dry drowning. "Perhaps you know the principle behind this cigar demon... or perhaps shall I call you beast of the night..." he looked at Moss with disgust as he stared at his fangs.
he put blow a smoke right into Moss' face with a smirk before walking out "I figured it out... you two could interrogate him more if you want... but a dhampir turned by a high ranking vamp won't be light work even if your whole platoon was to fight him head on..." he said laughing before grabbing one of his inferior's clipboard writing down what he theorized could be the reason for Moss' outstanding mana aptitude.
Moss stared at one of the interrogators with hatred on his eyes but his expressions remained the same, he heaved for air as the cigar's smoke dissipated "I remember your face Julius... even if you hide under that façade called mask... you and all of your 5 other companions that captured me..."
Julius clicked his tongue as he kicked moss on the stomach with so much force that he got thrown onto a wall and knocked onto the ground, Moss coughed out from pain as he gave a blank stare at Julius "I don't guarantee you a swift death... nor will I only stop at you... I'll come for your family and women..." Julius saw red as he pointed his wand over Moss with his teeth grinding "HEED MY CALL SOVEREIGN OF THE GREAT HELL FIRE! I CAST UPON THE FLAMES OF ASPHODEL TO BANISH THIS HEATHEN FROM THE LAND OF WHOM I PROTECT!" A ball of black flame condensed with heavy traces of mana was formed, Julius' mate tackled him to the ground making him accidentally shoot it at the wall behind Moss instead of Moss.
"ELISE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" the woman just kept Julius pinned down on the floor with inhuman strength as she broke both of Julius' wrist before walking towards Moss seemingly in a trance, Moss stood up as he kicked the chair out of the room from the giant hole the other made "Julius... I will remember your name... live in fear... under the name of Moss kin of the great Asphodel... my memories may return... but sympathy will never be mine to bear... your death will not be an easy one..."
Elise began laughing as she fall to her she ripped off her coat and hood, as she took off her mask where she bled from her eyes and ears Moss stood there motionlessly staring down Julius with a blank expression, a sphere of blood was formed right over his shoulder, Elise's once alive body turned into a mummified corpse deprived of any blood.
Moss stretched out his arms, the blood sphere taking the shape of a pair of wings, not a bat's nor any Avian species, it was a pair fly wings "I will return for you... live in fear as much as you can..." The old officer nonchalantly stepped back into the room with the same cigar in his mouth "Unfortunately... I already have everything from you... you may go now Kin of the queen..." he said before grabbing the injured Julius from the floor "and... I'll have you know... the 2nd lieutenant that you killed last week was my son... I have incredible grudge against your kind... you were not supposed to escape but I guess this outcome is inevitable... how did you do it..."
"I do not intend to conspire with people who hates me... but if you insist... You can use magic not aligned with darker energy even if you're being constantly burnt and tortured by silver... I performed charm on the woman standing beside Julius earlier." Moss' eyes widened as he spoke one of the secrets he intended to keep for himself "interesting... now where will you be heading after this..." the officer asked with great disdain in his eyes "I intend to fly back to the place of my birth to gather as much books about magic as I can..." he spilled it once again, Moss spat at the ground before he began flying away "Know this old man... I will be coming after you as well."
the old man smiled with a sinister grin "I'm steps ahead of you... you pest..." Moss raised an eyebrow before he began flying out of the camp, before he even reached the wall a great lightning struck him "I'm steps ahead of you..." The old man walked on mid air as lightning sparks seems to form under his feet, the old man knows higher level lightning magic but also knows advance mental infiltration spells. Moss thought to himself as he gritted his teeth, his skin burnt to a crisp but it immediately began to regenerate itself in an astronomical rate, his blood wings that consumed so much of his blood burnt into a crisp. he stood up as he began backing away from the old man who was literally standing in front of him.
"Threatening my men, killing them even... you shall be executed fiend" The old man grabbed the thin air as it formed a blade made entirely out of lightning... he swung it towards Moss, which the boy failed to block his arm and head fell out of it's place, he saw his body knelt before the old officer ripped out his heart and crushed it as he sent down lightning strike after another at himself whilst he screams his son's name.
I feel my consciousness fading away from this tethered reality, what should I do... maybe it's better to rest...
I chuckling of an older lady can be heard from the darkness I now feel as my head slowly turns into dust which will eventually turn into the mana of the world...
"Child you have yet to reach your full potential." I felt a warm hug around my body, yet I cannot move it feels bright... no I'm on fire!]
I opened my eyes I was in a blank space... it was dark as I floated around the space, I looked below me and it was made entirely out of hellfire, my eyes remained indifferent to it, perhaps the day I became a vampire, the aspect that has made me human disappeared as well.
"Boy of the boonies in turn whom I have given a grand favor of dark, I shall expect the world's reigns be in my hand one day..." the woman was nowhere to be seen... or was she... she was already in front of me, a fractal, a broken down crystal dust, a crystal whose existence will remain the most unacceptable of all, the grand usurper... the hundred faced woman who will eat the world in a single bite... "Lady Asphodel"
a static form has assumed itself to be a tall elegant woman made entirely out of light. "Child whom has succumbed to the inevitable fate of the world... why do you cry... the soul do not lie..."
I looked at myself I started feeling like I was about to burst into flames but my body is melting into water, my form was distorted, but it was me I believe it was...
"realm of the dead whom I reign over will be forever know no peace for I have yet to realized my destiny as my own..."
the static figure grabbed my face "Whom shall I trust, I will not know but the henchmen of the face who dwells in the surface has chosen such an unfit element... I shall give you my blessing... bring the world to ruin and I shall live again" the woman has given Moss a kiss on his lips before he woke back into the real world he lives in.
an old lady was busy in her kitchen as he finds himself laying down on a soft bed... he looked around he finds himself bandaged up, he stood up and looked at himself in the mirror and saw huge scars on both his wrists and chest, He stared at the lady but whenever he approaches her, his animosity seems to dissipate "Lady... you have taken in a monster in your house... what do you intend to do with me..." the old woman turned around with a smile "You have much to learn child... you will not be able to live amongst the humans if you continue with your ways..."
Moss raised his hand in an attempt to use his blood to strike the old lady down but his mana was still in disarray which resulted to him in coughing up more blood. "the rebound is still on me... But I managed to make my wings..." he growled before he lunged at the lady, the lady just pointed his finger upwards and got Moss impaled on 50 spears of blood "Child... the appearance you chose is rather interesting why won't you change it..." she said as the blood spears disappeared dropping Moss to the ground.
"No wonder people describes the kin of the grand queen similar to a bastardized animal pest..." The old woman clicked her tongue as her body got enveloped by a thick veil of fragrant blood from the ground up, the veil twisted and contorted as it disappear the woman was an exact copy of Moss' appearance.
"I have studied shifting magic since I was in my early 250s well now I'm way past that point I have been looking for a lucky disciple and it just so happened... the queen has pulled some strings and had you dropped off here... perhaps she knew?" the woman smirked
"I'll teach you the basics of the human world... since I know you may have forgotten this when you got turned... and an extensive list of vampiric magic that only our kind will be able to do..."
the lady laughed as her skin began falling apart to show the old woman once again, Moss just stared at her as he groaned before wiping his mouth off of blood "I never signed up to be in this cesspool of weirdos..."
the the old lady impaled Moss again with her blood spear "Call me that once more and you'll see your creator once again."
