Once upon a time, in remote lands, a young popular king, loved by his people, lived a peaceful life. One day, his kingdom was attacked by a big Empire.
He couldn’t compare… In distress, he was willing to ask a demon of mountains to help him.
Then he hit the road to the mountains to find him and deal with him.
The vampire : Welcome young king, you shouldn’t hang out here. What are you doing in this sinister cave ?
The king : An emperor is willing to invade my lands within a few days and he will enslave my people. Currently, he’s heading towards us ! I can’t let him do so ! I’m the king here, and I ought them the protection.
The vampire : Mmmmmmmmh, I see… And what can I do to help you ? You know, I’m just an hermit living in caves for centuries…
The king : Are you Similodon ? I’m sure that’s you I’m talking about.
The vampire : Where have you heard about this name ?
The king : My father told me a lot about you. He told me about creatures like you who formerly terrorized all the world during centuries thanks to superhuman powers. But, a king discovered that silver was their weakness and was used to annihilate you. We named you ‘Vampire’. I was told there is still one of this kind hiding in these mountains, named Similodon.
The vampire : I can see you are well informed. How do you dare to pronounce my name and invite yourself to my place ? Give me only one reason not to kill you on the spot right away.
The king : Because I could give you back your past glory, yet I need your help to decimate the army which plans to threaten my people. I perfectly know you couldn’t refuse such an opportunity obtaining that huge amount of blood at once !
The vampire : Yet you know, my friend, I could even fulfill myself with only your blood, that’s to say a king’s one… But, hold on ! Mmmmh, let me think… Yes you are right. It’s true I have been locked up for such a long time… Then I suggest another deal. Drink my blood and you’ll become one of mine for eternity, and we’ll defeat them altogether.
The king : To become a Vampire ? Are you kidding me ? Never would I go for it !
The vampire : Given your position, my dear friend, be sure you are not able to bargain with me. Look, you came to me. I would let you leave this place only as a Vampire, instead you will attend the massacre of your own people.
The king : True demon you are ! But I do not have the choice here… If I can’t save my people, then I would better die. Yet if my destiny is all about becoming a vampire, I’d better know how it feels to be a Vampire before dying… Tell me all about it, please, pity me !
The vampire : From the moment you will drink the blood onwards, you will feel strong and powerful, and be sure no one will be able to stop you. Yet the counterpart will be, you will be undergoing an irresistible desire of blood… Drinking Human’s blood will become your favourite meal ! Also, the silver will be the only weapon possible to take the power over you. You’ll have some weaknesses though. Indeed, if you are exposed to a crucifix, you will lose your strength, then they will have to plant a piece of silver into your heart to get rid of you. Also, you won’t be able to get exposed under the sun, otherwise, it would burn you. Finally, you’ll have to get used to only live night time.
The king : Too much time waiting, stop talking and give me your blood right away !
Then the king drinks vampire’s blood and becomes one of them.
The king : Telling the truth, I’m feeling weird right now… I’m feeling so powerful… Like I would be… Immortal.
The vampire : For sure my brother. I told you so, now, you are to be considered as the most powerful creature on this earth.
The king : I definitely don’t feel well… It’s like I’m better and weak at the same time… Hope my body will cope with the situation… Yet fellow, don’t forget to keep your promise, instead I will come back to kill you with a silver crucifix, and never mind if I’ll mean to die along with you.
The enemy troops are probably arriving soon. Let’s not waste our time here. Let’s go now !
The vampire : Don’t worry my fellow, you know, due to loneliness, I’ve been waiting for such a long time so far that I’m definitely ready for these adventures ! Be sure, we will be drinking to the fullest and sucking these necks until the last drop. I’m hungry !
The king and the vampire defeated the empire army in a flash and easily. The kingdom has been saved but unfortunately not the king’s destiny.
The king : I am glad that I have been helped to defeat the enemy and courageous enough to face such a dull future that meant to happen to me and my people… Yet it’s true that I turned into a kind of monster and I feel guilty to deal this way with the Devil. I definitely can’t come back to my home and face my relatives. However I perfectly know that I couldn’t escape that faith, given the threat going on back then. It was my destiny to exchange my life with this new one and I accept it. I hope they’ll understand that I won’t be able to see them again, because I’m willing to hide that curse from them. And I hope this way, that they’ll keep a good reminder of me.
The vampire : I must admit you are valiant. From the very moment you drank this cup onwards, you didn’t belong to this world anymore in the same way and couldn’t go backwards. You were aware of it, nethertheless, you didn’t change your mind. Come on my fellow, don’t yield into the temptation of falling into sadness. You can keep a fulfilling life the way you used to do and yet being a vampire at the same time if you wish ! Both can work altogether, you know. For instance, look at me ! I don’t give a shit about all of these tales related to morals, ethics, human beings and so forth, and I’m damn good in my shoes ! You should walk around the world along with me and we will be satisfying our irresistible bloodlust by protecting these so-called little vulnerable kingdoms. Let’s have fun here !
