Chapter 21
the dark order, an organization that was founded a few hundred years prior, around the time of the blood treaty. they were tasked with the extermination of anything they deemed vile and unholy, anything that was blasphemous upon the will of God, the accursed, the demon kin. they were formed with extreme prejudice and sworn to an oath of secrecy, made up of only those who would relinquish their ties to society and the world of man for it's betterment. the demon kin, otherwise known as the accursed by the order are beings born of tainted blood, by that they mean creatures no longer considered human any longer, people that defy logical human behavior.
an example of this would be the human subspecies known as the werewolves, though they may seem like a normal creature of this world, they are not. they're origins are tied deeply to that of the arrogant king from times past, king Nebuchadnezzar the first. with so much arrogance and pride he sort to question the will of the most high God and as a result was cursed to roam the badlands and the wilderness and to feast on the flesh of animals and man alike as well as grass of the ground like a wild beast. he was cursed to this behavior for a few years but even those years were enough to kill his arrogant nature and turn him into a most humble and noble of kings. but then how did the werewolves descend from him, during the times of his wildness he was said to have had an unholy affair with a maiden. after his curse was lifted by the lord he returned to his kingdom, the maiden discovered her pregnancy with his child and somehow found an audience with him claiming the child his. this was frowned upon by the elders in his council and by the citizens of his Kingdom,to save face amoung his people he denied the claims by the maiden. but she remained adamant that the child be his and started to sway some of the council members, though he continued to deny it and eventually sort to arrest the maiden for false accusations against his person. the maiden would spend some months in the dungeons of the kingdom before passing on, though her child would somehow find a way to survive despite being only a fetus. the king would learn of this and though not wanting anything to do with the young one would find it in his heart to take the child in and raise him even though his wives would not welcome the child into their family. he would come to give the child the name, nezzar and care for the young one, but the child would suffer near endless bullying from his siblings and would grow to hate them, treated like a slave and second hand human by their mothers as well, he would only find some form of love from his father, the king. as time would pass, on the child's thirteenth birthday his brothers and sisters would take him to the forest to play what they would call a game, which couldn't be further from the truth, a cruel joke at best. while in the forest a wave of emotions would flood into the child's mind, transforming him into a beast as hideous as anything ever seen. proceeding to dismember and devour one of his brothers in cold blood, the child would flee and become a fugitive of the kingdom. the king would learn of this and fall into a great depression. one of his wives who so hated the child would persuade the king into hunting and killing him. the king would succumb and order the child's head on a pike but would be eluded for years to come until the boy would have children of his own and would spread this sickness for more and more generations to come, creating an unending wave of monsters who would later come to be known simply by the name, werewolves.
Frankeen tells me that another example would be me and my kind, to which I'm confused because last I checked I'm human. then he asks
" human you say, haven't you ever wondered why you are as strong as you are? "
" I just always thought I was special " I reply
" special, yes, but not the way you think " he says
according to him I'm also an accursed one, spawned into this world from the blood of an accursed one. creatures that defy the balance of nature by merely existing.
" there are still werewolves around, doesn't that mean you guys have been slacking on the job " I tell him
" the blood treaty did limit our movements during it's implementation but we found a way to move without in impeding our work, though slow " he replies
I then make a comment about how hypocritical they are since Frankeen doesn't even look human, but he says that sometimes we have no choice than to fight fire with fire. he says that though it would seem that they're holy work is been restricted by the law of the blood treaty he can assure me that they are more active than ever, with the cooperation of the oak king. they're trying to wipe out the entirety of the werewolves and they have the support of the king, but what about the Wakaani I ask. he says that all accursed must and will be wiped out by their holy crusade. I ask how they know that I'm an accursed.
" you are Lilith of borp village, are you not? " he asks
" yes I am, but that doesn't answer my question " I reply
" do not worry we have a way of finding the demon kin "
you can't just exterminate entire subspecies one by one till they're done, he says that they have taken that into consideration and have devised a means to kill them all in one fell swoop. this makes me even more terrified of them.
