Capítulo 39: History of Vampires-II

Eofen Continent: It is the name of the world where the elves, vampires and humans live in and where the current story is taking place.

"I slaughtered them; I killed every single one of the high elves in the room."

"They kept coming, and I kept killing."

"With rage in my heart, with blood in my hand, I kept killing."

"Then, I met the king of elves, my emotions calmed for a moment, when I looked at him, I could feel similarities between us, so I asked him, why does a being like you come here? To seek more violence? To gain more power? Then why do you have such empty look on your eyes? Why? Why do you still hold your sword? Why do you still fight? Just what is it that you desire?"

"He still stood there expressionless. The more I saw his face, the angrier I got, I fought with the king, we were evenly matched, but the king had support from his people, but I was all alone. Still, I put up a great fight till the end, I slaughtered his people right in front of his eyes, yet he still remained expressionless. The battle lasted for 2 days, but in the end, I was defeated. I thought I would die there. I was not able to protect my own people but at least dying with them, I thought it would not be too bad, but my instincts rose, I felt a need to survive, survive and live on, I desperately tried to escape from there, in the process I even lost my fangs."

"Now, after I escaped, I realized how I had just lost everything, Revenge? Yes, I wanted revenge, but I was also already exhausted, it might have been selfish of me, but I did not want to live the rest of my life chasing after revenge, in fact, I did not want to live at all, I told myself that I would sleep until my fangs recovered and take revenge. Still, it was like a lie I told myself, I did not want to wake up at all, I had planned to sleep for all eternity, and decided I if I ever wake up I would simply go along the flow that life has decided for me."

"So, as you were the one that woke me up, I decided to go along with you. I possess no ulterior motives or any kind of desire so you won't need to worry about me betraying you and besides your ambitions remind me of my younger days, so, I wanted to see, where you would end up."

Dracula kept a hand in Lazarus' shoulders, looked him in his eyes and said,

"As a fellow vampire like you, I can understand what you must have felt, once even I had to see my kingdom get destroyed in front of my own eyes, but one should not be bounded by the ghosts of the past but move on carrying the weight of the present, so rise and shine it's a new day."

I could feel he was telling the truth; I could also feel hatred inside of him that was not pointed to anyone else but towards himself.

"But wait, what was the thing that caused the 1st generation of vampires to go extinct?"

"I am afraid that is something I cannot tell. Everyone has their own secrets."

"What? you just told your entire life story but left out the most crucial part."

"It's just a minor thing, I already told you all the important stuff."

"Minor? The desire that led to such tragedy could not have been a minor thing."

"Like I said everyone has their own secrets, and besides I have not told a single lie, you could simply judge me from other events."

"Well, I know you are telling me the truth; still there are some surprising things, like the behaviour of the high elf king."

"Oh, that's right, you went to the kingdom of the elves, how was your trip?"

"I had to self-destruct just to escape, so I would say it did not end well."

"Did you manage to get any information?"

"Yes, I found out various things, I also met their king, but the way you described him and the impression I have of him is different."

"Really? are we now going on a war with the high elves?"

"Nope, I did give them a declaration of war, but it's not their turn yet, and I need to improve my vessel and make it strong enough to rival the elf king."

"But why? Why go through all that trouble? Just use your original body and the guardians of this dungeon, in the past days, I met them, they are powerful, I think we would win."

"Yes, that's where the problem lies, where do you think this dungeon is?"

"Under the desert."

"That's what I initially thought too, but it not. The desert just has a portal that connects to this dungeon. The dungeon itself lies in a different world. The sky you see above us is real. This dungeon is like a tomb that does not belong in any world, and in two years, it will turn into a kingdom, that's when it will rise to the surface of one of the worlds until them the guardians of this tomb and my original body cannot go to the Eofen Continent."

"What?"

"But this was not always the case, I once summoned Dracula to awaken you, at the time, my original body and the guardians could leave the dungeon, but something changed soon after that, and now they cannot go to Eofen Continent."

"But some of the guardians went on a vacation."

"Yes, but I did not feel their presence in the world we were in, so they must have gone to a different world. We can leave the dungeon but can't go to Eofen Continent. I have no idea why that happened. So, I can either wait 2 years and then go to war, or I can simply create a new army."
