Chapter 2 - Ghosts from the past

Ronan is sleeping peacefully in his cell, until the countess arrives with her servant girls both vampire and werewolf women and several guards among them vampires as well as werewolves accompanying her, she orders them to open the cell and leave them alone, the bodyguards told her to be careful, so one of them recommended that at least one guard stay, but she refused, as she is sure he would not harm her, the guards and the maids obeyed her, leaving them alone. By this time Ronan had not become a werewolf, he is still human.He is sleeping, but in reality, he is pretending to make an ambush to get out of there, the guards open the cell, he was listening almost all the conversation, the voice of the countess seemed very familiar to him so he decided not to do anything... for now, the servants put a stool for him, the countess enters and sits down, so they leave and only the two of them are left.-Roy, it is time to get up. -The countess exclaimed in an affectionate and maternal tone.Those sweet and tender words, made him draw several tears, he turns around and sees her, he notices that the countess , is very similar to his mother when she was young, only that the countess has pale skin, silver white hair and her eyes are brown like his, but as they are those of a vampire, that made him back.-You remind me of someone familiar, how do I know it's not a trick to get me out of this cell. -Ronan doubted for a moment that it was his mother.-Seriously, Roy, I can't believe you don't recognize me so easily, son, but if you don't believe me, you must know that I was a princess who was captured by your father, so you must know where my royal seal is. -Demitria asked.-As I remember, it's on the waist a little to the right. -Ronan indicated.The countess pulls up her dress to show her royal mark, Ronan observes it, touches it, then tries to shave it with his fingernail, smearing saliva on it to see if it will come off.-What are you doing, Roy? -Demitria asked, blushing and embarrassed.-I'm examining very carefully if it's real, although I'm missing a pin to know if it's real. -Ronan answered, still examining very fervently.-I think I have taught you well, my son. -Demitria said, on the verge of losing control.-Yes, quite well, mother. -Ronan answered as he continued to examine, but Demitria removed Ronan from her dress.-ENOUGH, RONAN, OR DO YOU HAVE PERVERSE INTENTIONS WITH ME? -The vampire soldiers were ready to attack, but the countess gave them a signal to stop.-I would never do something like that, you are one of the most important women I have ever had in my life, you always supported me, you gave me the love that nobody else gave me in my most difficult moments, you are my emotional support, and now I don't want to let you go anymore. -Ronan exclaimed.They hug each other.-Oh, my Roy, I'm glad you are well and the people of Kaliburn, how are they? -Demitria asked in a very mischievous way specifically on the part of the people of Kaliburn.-I killed my brothers, my father and the town fell to the werewolves, in the end I did what you said, although I imagine that was planned right, it is very coincidental that just my people fall, and I am still alive. -Ronan answered as they stopped hugging each other.-Of course, it is, Ronan, I gave the order to annihilate the Kaliburn people and that they also went to look for you, my son. -Demitria answered.-I imagine that you sent them, to confirm if I had done the job or not, even so, I know you are planning something with me, as always, tell me now, Mother. -Ronan exclaimed.-Come with me, Son, we must meet old acquaintances of yours, before we can say what I kept you alive for. -Demitri said.-Old acquaintances, perhaps some of the village barbarians survived. -Ronan asked.-Follow me and you will understand. -Demitri answered.Both leave the cell; the countess is escorted by her guards and servants. They keep a considerable distance between Ronan and the countess despite the revelation that they are family because for them he is still a barbarian and the possibility of a betrayal could be almost imminent, he does not like this, but Demitria makes gestures for him to trust her, so he decides to play along. They go through the catacombs where they meet several werewolves, werewolves' women and even their pups, while they pass, they bow to their countess.-Interesting, those beasts respect you, how do you do it... -Responded Ronan, while looking around, although some werewolves' women try to seduce him.-With love and respect, unlike others of my kind, I treat werewolves as such, that's why they respect me, I listen to them, and they listen to me. -Demitria answered.-It's a very nice way to make them surrender to your feet, and then use them as your tools. -Ronan answered.-Like you, Ronan," Demitria replied.-That was not funny, mother..." Ronan answered as the countess stood up and went to him.-Tell me, countess, as long as we are with my subjects, please Ronan," Demitria answered as she pinched his cheek in a motherly way.This calms him down, until they reach the big cave, where there is a huge pack of lycanthropes doing everything (orgies, playing with bones of all kinds, there was a school where they are taught the human language, as well as how to express themselves, etc., a werewolf woman singing opera, a werewolf minstrel telling his stories, etc.).-What a tremendous Chaos, this is. -exclaimed Ronan-It's my beautiful Chaos, now where is that son of a bitch? -Demitria exclaimed from anger, this leaves Ronan dismayed, the guards and servants know what is happening, until the countess looks at the top of a stalagmite the size of a mountain, a werewolf with a war skirt, warrior bracelets with her Harem of wolf women, she added. -Adonis Spearman comes down from there once and for all.Adonis pays no attention to him, as his wolf women licking him, giving him some grapes, rubbing their breasts all over their bodies. Ronan has memories about that name, who was one of his greatest enemies, whom he killed on a suspension bridge a long time ago.-Adonis Spearman...the executioner of armies, impossible, he should be dead, I killed him a long time ago. -Ronan whispers, at first it gives him anger, but it draws a malevolent smile on his face, and he exclaims at the top of his lungs as he makes his way through the guards and the countess, she allows him to do so.-Lancer of destruction, executioner of armies, come here and fight me, Ronan the destroyer. -Ronan exclaimed to the four winds.This calls the attention of Adonis, so he makes a gesture to his women to give him his space.-Ronan of Kaliburn, I will make sure you burn in hell. -Adonis exclaims, slides down the stalagmite until he reaches the floor, he goes running towards Ronan, he also goes running towards him, until they both rush at each other, starting their fierce combat.Ronan evades him, takes a big stone to hit Adonis, but he dodges it, which allows him to ram him and subdue him to the floor, but not completely because Ronan sticks his thumb in his eye, which causes him to lose his concentration a little, although he hits Ronan several times to subdue him, but during this violent outburst, he takes some dirt, throws it in the other eye before the other one regenerates, after he takes it off, he takes a big stone, he starts to give him a tremendous beating until he pulverizes the stone but he was regenerating fast, so while he is stunned he takes two stones and sticks them one in each eye, he kicks him in the crotch to make him fall to the floor, so he takes another leg bigger than the previous one, he drops it with all his strength to his crotch, immobilizing him completely, then he puts his foot on the stone that is above Adonis' crotch, while he looks at everyone around him.-This can't be the legendary army executioner, though, he is nobody without his legendary spear, the destroyer of kingdoms, be that as it may, you are not worthy to face me, not even these vermin that are around me. -I exclaim Ronan, the countess goes to help Adonis, he removes his foot from the stone, the maids also go to help him, and the men like werewolves in the area wanted to pounce on him to kill him, but an old werewolf (apparently old), with a gray robe, a bit shabby, an old wooden staff and a book in his other hand, accompanied by other werewolves who are dressed as if they were priestesses, goes to them.-Well, well, well, well, but look who we have, if it isn't the legendary barbarian, Ronan: The Destroyer, who would say that someone like you, would fall before a pack of werewolves. -Said the old werewolf.-Simply, I bled out, I was carried away by anger and nothing else, I could do a favor to humanity, annihilating all the werewolves and vampires in this castle without even using their natural weaknesses, give me a reason not to do it right here and now. -Ronan exclaimed.-Ronan, have you ever loved someone, have you ever opened your heart to a woman? -The old werewolf answered.-Yes, I'm not going to lie to you, why do you ask, what are you getting at with this, whoever you are. -Ronan answered intrigued.-Because she's here, Ronan, your first and only love, the bloody killer queen. -exclaimed the old werewolf.At that moment, he was suddenly hit by a flood of memories, remembering another of his lethal enemies, the bloody shadows, beautiful women with bodies similar to those of goddesses or why not to say succubus, evil and diabolical women, with the ability to maintain a hand-to-hand confrontation against Ronan, although they prefer to use mind games to destroy their victims mentally and physically.For some reason, this woman not only defeated Ronan hand to hand cleanly, but also achieved something that was almost impossible for a barbarian, he fell in love with her.-Where is she? -Ronan exclaimed.-I am Sabitor, the lunar sentinel, at your service, Ronan, the destroyer, follow me and I will show you the way. -Said Sabitor.-If you try to play a dirty trick or trick me, I will impale you with your own staff. -Ronan answered threateningly. --Don't worry, Lord Ronan, when you see her, you will be surprised. -replied Sabitor.So Ronan, follows Sabitor, Adonis joins and goes with Demitria together with his guards and servants to her cell, which is located in the most hidden place of the catacombs, where there is only a beam of light that illuminates it, when they get there, Sabitor tells him to stay there, to leave her presentable for him, since she was constantly violated by the werewolves.-You are sure, Ronan, that you want to see her, she is literally a deposit of semen, for which the werewolves defiled her day, afternoon and night, I don't know if she will be the woman, you are looking for or if she will still be the woman, you once loved. -Adonis said.-I agree with Adonis, don't waste your time with that wolf woman, Ronan, I have better wolf women than her, I don't know what's so special about her. -Demitria answered.-I know she's still there, no matter how much they rape or torture her, breaking a bloody shadow is very difficult if not impossible, they were trained to endure anything, I have faith that she's still there, although I want to know who were the bastards that defiled her since she got here, I'll show her a little piece of hell, I'll make them pay for everything they did to her. - Ronan exclaimed.Sabitor tells them that they can pass, when they pass, Ronan is amazed, she is a wolf woman dressed in a kind of white cloth, one cloth covers her breasts and the other covers her crotch as if it were a kind of skirt. She is sitting on a big rock, with her eyes closed, while the beam of light illuminated her beautiful being, he approached her slowly, until he has a distance considerably close, she pounces on him, she bites his shoulder hard, she embeds her claws on his back, but he hugs her, she starts to cry, he caresses her head.-No, worry my bloody assassin queen, your king has come to save you. -Said Ronan full of happiness.However, she takes him off and gives him a kick that sends him flying to the floor.-And who said I want you to save me, you barbaric piece of shit? -Said the wolf woman.-It's definitely you, my love...AGH...whether you like it or not I'll get you out of this hell once and for all, besides I've already been infected by the werewolves, so it won't be long before I transform. -Ronan answered.-And who said that I am your love, there are many warrior women and bloody shadows out there, what makes you think that about me. -The wolf woman answered.-That's simple, a long time ago, the bloody assassin queen tried to face me and defeat me, but she didn't finish the job, I kept a tooth of mine, during one of our fierce fights as a trophy that is just hanging around your neck. -Ronan answered and added. -By the way, I have always wondered, what is your name, my beauty?-When hell freezes over, I'll tell you, Ronan," answered the wolf woman.-Come on, Devora Striker, stop the mysticism with him and tell him once and for all and just tell him that you were the woman who managed to stand up to him, plus you let yourself be defiled by him, even though you lost to him, you're definitely a disappointment as Bloody Shadow. -Interrupted the old werewolf.-Devora Striker, that's a beautiful name, for someone like you. -Ronan replied.-But Lord Moringstar, how dare you say my name. -Ronan began to remember his moral enemy, the evil sorcerer Marcus Moringstar, whom he defeated because he drank the blood of Gorak, an invincible warrior that Ronan managed to defeat and kill before he got his hands on Marcus, giving him immunity to magic, which allowed him to defeat him. So Ronan hangs him with one hand and lifts him up.-STUPID GIRL, WHAT DID YOU SAY..." Moringstar shouts as Ronan chokes him.-No wonder, your words sounded familiar, but if you are the wizard Marcus Moringstar, you were a pain in the ass for a long time for my people, now your filthy self is still alive, so now I will finish the job right now. -Ronan exclaimed as he choked him even harder.Marcus tried to shake him off, but for some reason, he could feel that the werewolf venom was acting faster than normal, giving him an enormous strength that he had never seen before. Devora and Adonis rush to stop him, but Ronan lands a powerful blow to Devora's belly, then kicks her.-Maybe, with cunning and wisdom you could defeat me, but remember that you are still a woman, this is between me and him. -Said Ronan while Adonis locked him in a nelson lock, but he freed himself with his brute strength, he had to release Marcus, and then he elbowed him to bury his head to the floor.-THAT'S ENOUGH, RONAN, EVERYBODY. -exclaimed the countess.Ronan stops his outburst of anger, and everyone calms down, the countess snaps her fingers, her servants bring the parts of a table, set it up, then bring chairs for them to sit on. The countess orders them to sit down and the meeting begins.They sit at the round table where Ronan and Devora sit together, she shows resistance at first, Sabitor looks at Devora badly so that she stops resisting and gives in in order to reassure Ronan since she is an important piece to keep him at bay and gain his trust, Marcus sits on the left side of them and Adonis on the right side.-Welcome ladies and gentlemen to our meeting that we will have throughout our stay in the catacombs, so you can introduce yourselves to get to know us better, although some of you already know each other. -Said Demitria giving start to the meeting and she introduces herself. -I am the countess of this castle, Countess Demitria Bloodtear, wife of the Count of Daveria Bartholomew Bloodtear, therefore, who begins.Ronan rises from his seat.-I am Ronan of Kaliburn, prince of the extinct people of the barbaric people of Kaliburn, son of Kredsus of Kaliburn, king of the barbarians and son of the princess of the Sadius kingdom devastated by the barbarians, Princess Audrey Bathory or as she is known today, the countess of Daveria, countess Demitria Bloodtear.Everyone is shocked by this revelation.-Well, well, well, so you saved him because he is your son, what a nice gesture. -Sabitor commented ironically and not at all surprised.-I'm not that simple, Sabitor, but don't worry, everything in its time. -Demitria answered and added. -Now introduce yourself, Sabitor.-My name is Marcus Moringstar, but the countess baptized me as Sabitor, the lunar sentinel, guardian of the werewolves, besides I am the current advisor of our alpha, I am a great sorcerer of the dark arts, I was once the nemesis of the prince of the barbarians, Ronan the destroyer, since I enslaved the people of Kaliburn, for a long time, while the prince was away, thanks to him, I was defeated but the count and the countess had mercy on me and now I live together with my women, my bloody shadows and with Adonis in the service of the countess . -Sabitor introduced himself.-I am surprised that your women, being werewolves, are still loyal to you when normally they would be of the alpha, although as far as I know I killed all the bloody shadows that were there, explain that to me. -Ronan questioned.-The bloody shadows, they are women who hide in the shadows until I tell them, the ones you killed were aspirants, but the most veteran ones are everywhere including in these catacombs, as well as in the Countess 's maids and everywhere in this castle, I could overthrow the Count if I set my mind to it, but I am at the Countess 's service, since I am indebted to her. -Sabitor replied.-Sorry to interrupt you, but it is my turn, my name is Adonis Spearman, my name comes from one of the lovers of Aphrodite who was eternally young and beautiful, he symbolizes death and the annual renewal of vegetation, I come from a long lineage of great warriors that have emerged throughout the history of mankind that is characterized by only one thing, the legendary spear, the destroyer of kingdoms, a spear that has passed from generation to generation, with that spear armies, villages, cities and entire kingdoms have fallen before its power. answered Adonis.-And if I may know, where is it, that legendary spear, because I do not see it with you, Adonis? -asked Ronan ironically.-I LOST IT... BECAUSE OF YOU RONAN, IN OUR DEATH MATCH ON THAT BRIDGE. -Adonis shouted angrily and helplessly.-Strange thing, because you pierced me with it.... Well, I let myself get through so I could beat that pretty face of yours, if it weren't for the bridge breaking, you wouldn't be sitting with us. -Ronan replied.-Don't worry, my longed for, dear and .... beloved Adonis, your weapon is in our possession, so it's in good hands. -Interrupted Demitria while winking at him.Adonis is happy with that, but Ronan didn't like that very much.-Wait, mother, what was that wink you gave him, is there something I shouldn't know? -Ronan exclaimed.-We're just very good friends with special distinctions, besides you can't be jealous about that, especially when someone like you, a barbarian warrior who has sown terror in the lands where you've set foot, hangs out with a bottomless pit of shit and semen. -Demitria exclaimed and added. -Besides, why is she still here, only important people should be here, not whores like you, Devora, so get out of my sight.Devora, on the verge of tears, gets up, but both Sabitor and Ronan stop her from leaving.-With all due respect, but I cannot allow you to disrespect one of my greatest acquisitions, your majesty, please, I implore a little respect from you, at least let her come before you, please I beg you. -Said Sabitor with respect and height.Ronan was impressed because Sabitor, defended her and Devora was speechless, she felt an inner peace and in turn those words gave her the strength to face the Duchess, she kneels like a warrior and introduces herself.-I am the executioner of Lord Marcus Moringstar, the deadliest bloody Shadow of the order of the bloody shadows, I, the bloody assassin queen, Devora Stryker.... well I was the bloody assassin queen, if it wasn't because I couldn't stop Ronan in time, lord Sabitor, I wouldn't be his lapdog, maybe you think I'm a shit pit and semen for fun, but really it's a punishment I imposed on myself, for failing to defeat Ronan and protect lord Sabitor, I don't feel any attraction, sexual or otherwise, for anyone, you can disrespect me, defecate on me even, but if Lord Sabitor wants me to be respected, so be it, I won't allow anyone to trample me. -Devora introduced herself, but she takes advantage of Ronan's fascination with her, she kicks him in the crotch and leaves him deprived and added. -To make it clear piece of shit, I hate you with all my soul and with all my being, I won't forgive you for raping me, killing my companions, humiliating my master, besides forcing myself to live in shame and without sense of living, it's a good thing I devoured our son when I gave birth, during all these years I lived feeding on the children of werewolves, so hate me Ronan, forget about me, the woman you once loved died.-My head hurts and my heart aches for what you have said, however, I have faith that the legendary bloody murderous Queen, lies within you, as for the child, at first it hurt me, but I remembered that we can have more, however, I am very happy that you still remember me. -Responded Ronan as he incorporated from the kick, she gave him.-Sorry to interrupt you, but the countess has things to do, and so do I, so we might as well get to the point, let's at least end this in a civilized manner. -Adonis replied.Everyone returns to their seats.-These have been very interesting introductions, so the reason I gathered you all together is because, is that the skeleton emperor, wants a nation of werewolves, using the same form of government that all the kingdoms have. -Demitria said.-Seriously, and what about the current alpha, does he not meet the requirements, or what? -Sabitor answered.-According to the count, no, ... and neither do I, that's why we are going to make a tournament so that the winner can be the one who becomes the king of the werewolves. -Demitria answered, although a little embarrassed by the alpha.-And why are they gathering us, do they need an accessory or something? -Sabitor answered.-Yes, you Sabitor, you will be the advisor of the werewolf that wins the tournament and you Adonis will be the general of the werewolf army since you don't want to participate. -Demitria answered.-Likewise, Demitria, I am not interested in the crown at all, my place is on the battlefield, I was born there, and I will die there. -Adonis added.-That's fine with me. -Sabitor answered and thought. -So, I can get close to the emperor and steal his powers once and for all.-And me, mother. -Ronan answered.-You will participate in the tournament like everyone else, so..." Demitri answered.-I think I've heard enough, mother, I'd better leave. -Ronan answered as he stood up and left.-WAIT RONAN, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE LEAVING, WE HAVEN'T FINISHED YET, AREN'T YOU GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOURNAMENT? -Demitria exclaimed.-Of course, I am, mother, don't get upset, I will participate in the tournament, and I will give the best show that the count will never forget. Ronan exclaimed in a haughty, arrogant, malevolent and self-confident way, until he finished leaving.-OH NO, WHAT HAVE I DONE? -Demitria exclaimed, putting her hands on her face.-My lord, I don't think I need to be Ronan's mother or Ronan, to know what a stupid thing he is going to do. -Devora answered. --Well, this is going to go to hell, I'm going to mobilize my shadows for the day of the Tournament, we must be prepared for the worst. -Replied Sabitor as he withdrew. -Sabitor answered as he withdrew.-This is going to be interesting, if my lady needs me, I'll be where I always am. -Said Adonis as he leaves.Devora calls the guards and the servants, to take her away since the meeting is over. However, she had a crestfallen face, but she is trembling, but it is not from fear, but she is laughing until she throws a devilish and unhinged laughter rising, because she knows what is going to happen, carefully the servants carry away the chairs and table carefully. Until she calms down and they leave Devora's cell. Poor Devora is speechless, now she doesn't know what the day of the tournament has in store for them.
