out of the vampire leader
flowing into rivers of blackness, that were going down deep into
the dirt beneath him as if they were going home, he’d known
instantly that there was a superior being that Rex answered to. And
as time went by he’d found that he was right to. A vampire called
Lucious had told him that there was someone much more powerful.
Their creator, a being of pure evil that stood eight feet tall, had
hideously distended veins pulsing across his face, a pitchfork in
hand, a lashing tail and horribly hooved feet. When he’d asked did
this vile creature have a name, Lucious had told him that he was
called, ‘ SATAN .’
Only as Dracus with no other choice to save
Eldor had then waited around to meet the son of a bitch, a period
that had unfortunately lasted a hundred years, still he hadn’t seen
him. It was like he was a myth and didn’t really exist, as if
they’d only created his story just to scare the other vampires into
order. Then whilst Dracus was working for Rex and still without
meeting this Satan character, he was given a leather bowman’s tunic
and his first bow. Then after practicing with it and realizing that
‘like hand to glove’ he was a natural with it, Rex had presented
him with a leather quiver full of cursed arrows, and a glove to
touch them with too. Only after learning their evil and keeping
himself as far away and distant from them as he could, fearing that
they might consume him, or even worse, turn him into something of
similar stature to that of Vrakug, he’d finally begun to see how
they might benefit him.
He could fire them into Vrakug when the two
evil creatures were fighting and paralyze his ass, letting the
other evil cretin have a better chance of winning.
Dracus’ magic had also improved so much that
he was able to stay in contact with his love Janus too. He could
create a dimension and also appear in the spirit form within it.
Then as he’d appeared he was able to pull Janus’ spirit into it,
enabling them to look into each other’s eyes and be together again.
Only it hadn’t and didn’t by any means placate his lust to be with
her. Every time that she’d gone back to her body in Eldor and the
gateway was closed, he’d had a tear in his eye because of it. He’d
really in truth wanted much more, he’d wanted to lay naked with her
under the blankets and stroke her hair, smell her odor once more
and just relax with her. Only he’d daren’t use the portal to take
him there, not with all the heinously evil energy that was flowing
around him from the vampires in the coven, and the sick tortures of
humans that he’d been forced to witness. He wasn’t sure of their
dark energy and whether if he did use the portal if they’d know
where his world was because of it. Then in turn he’d always known
that he’d said that he’d never risk going back there until Vrakug
was dead. His people had placed great hope in him as their savior
too, and he wasn’t about to let them down either.
Janus had also told him that the castle of
his parents had burnt to the ground and because of it, the place
had then laid in ruins for many years too. She’d also said that
Vrakug had gone missing, his whereabouts were unknown and that
she’d wanted with all her heart to believe that he’d been eaten by
the Skylark beasts, but was unsure that he had been. She’d told him
that after he’d left and the fires of the castle had raged
fiercely, then strangely some hours later the flames had vanished
as if by a spell. Then at the same time suddenly day had turned
into night, and the Skylark beasts had appeared again and swarmed
the place. She’d said that she’d watched up through the grey
atmosphere of Sarhl, and through the dark clouds as they’d parted
occasionally, she’d seen it. The castle had succumbed to the winged
beasts, bursting into flame again.
So the fact that Vrakug’s whereabouts were
unknown after the castle had burnt down, and also not
