The Vampire Lordrin

As the year passed, more relevant upsurge of happenings were noted, as one of the greatest but timid region of the Antracia Coasts lived in harmony.

In the part of the world, famously known as the "Antracia". In it lived a wide range , numerous and manners of Vampires.

They are divided, though by an incident, into four nations, the East Antracia,West Antracia, North Antracia, South Antracia. All made up of different ability. As all other social units, they have ethics and etiquettes governing them. It was obvious, that though the distance, they still abhored each other.

The hatred which existed in the midst of the four coast of Antracia, started far back as over 1700 years, when all the coast lived in unity. Things went well as there was peaceful co-existence dwelling in their atmosphere. The princes of the great country, Antracia, generated disputes amongst them and they were in contest of the Coaserier. The Coaserier is a mantle presented to the crowned king of the Antracians, which generates more power or abilities in addition to the minor ability already imposed from childhood. But as it was, the contest among the princes became uncontrollably and they misused the Coaserier which seized the peaceful co-existence among them, which resulted to individuals of the Antracia belonging to a Prince, among the four, this brought about the divisions which birthed the four coast.

As the vampires lived, wars occured thousand times which has lots of lives to eliminate, although Vampires lived longer than humans. The Coaserier, which was mishandled by the former princes resulted to four classes of elements, including the fire class, water class, Air class and the earth class. And the Coaserier interpreted that things will go better if only one is to master all class negligent of the coast.

In the west coast, known as the "Davens", lived a clutch of Vampires, which had of all class, the water class. They have this great spirit of oneness. Balmad, a teen guy, who also was from the Davens, has a little sister by name Ava. Both survived alone after the incident, which was between the Northern Coast and the Western Coast, their father had to give up his life for his children to live, but left a word for Balmad, and it was.. "You shall be called King".

Balmad had to strive so as to ensure the survival of him and his sister, though they both gained lots of favour from the neighborhood who at most times showed concern and helped them out in critical conditions. Balmad was born and pronounced to be king in the West coast of the water class, and so his life was valued by the enemies as well. Balmad is a Vampire like no other, who had sympathy and care, as he showed ernest concern in things pertaining to the kid sister, Ava.

Hunting section is being conducted by the able Vampires, because at most times, unexpected deadly incident occur. Balmad is a courageous hunter who attributed fear as a sickness of the weak.

Vampires enjoy feasting on pigs, since pigs are inactive and more or less stationary at night and posses few anti-Vampire defences.

" I will be going with the hunting team at evening, our jars are already empty" Balmad said as he laid on the sack matrass.

" You're sure you'll be fine with that? Ava said staring at Balmad." Hey, am a grown up now, besides am getting perfect in my usage of elements, am your hero remember?" He teased as they both laughed.

The elements generally, is so laborious, one only develops the element gradually. Everyone is born in it, but no one masters it from birth, rather, the individual is being taught on how to manipulate the particular class. Except the category of people called the lordrins, who master all class.

"What will you be taking for lunch since we are running short of drinks" Ava asked Balmad with hands Akimbo.

" Am fine, I would want to meet with Alberto, I need him to explain things for me". Balmad already got up as he grabs his blue jacket."see you soon then" Ava replied.

Alberto, is an old man, the oldest in the Ravens, he is just a man who utilizes wisdom to resolve matters, and also, knowledgeable of the historical events, which made people see him as an anthropologist. He stays in the library, where thousands of scrolls are arranged based on their scheme, he stays with his pet, Manuk, a huge bat.

Balmad already arrived, as all other vampires do, he pulled off his shoes, kissed them, and made the Davmik chant, which was used to pass information when someone is at the door.

Alberto with his eye lens, crossed his foot on a dark brown dusty table, while taking a glance on a scroll.

" Balmad..." Alberto said as he brought down his legs and left for the door.

"Kit-muzua" Balmad greeted bowing.

"Rise, with the unexpected visit, hope everything is fine?" Alberto asked leading the way to the sitting room.

They both sat on the sofa, vampires, is a creature more attracted to dull colours, including black, green, brown and red.

"Everything is fine, aside the fact that I have not come to master my class yet" Balmad said with eyes fixed to Alberto's eye.

Alberto pulled of his lens, dropped it on a mini-table.

The class isn't just a gift, it's a gift though was gifted accidentally, most people didn't experience their class of element, even till death, some were delayed, some wasn't gifted because fortune may have been told about them misusing the class.

Alberto already stood, walking to the left side of the sitting room, their drinks which is the blood drained from animals and sometimes humans who fall prey to them, and the drink is stored in a glass jar. They drink directly from the jar, unlike humans, who turn them into cups.

"Help yourself with this first", Alberto presented the jar to Balmad.

"Oh thanks, i just needed it" he smiled as he sipped and wiped his lips using his left elbow.

"Am sure, your class will be revealed soon", Alberto assured Balmad, he made himself comfortable on the sofa as he narrated to Balmad how own his class was released to him.

"About 66 years ago, after several thoughts on why my class will never get revealed, not until one day, it was a day I thought air will cease from my nostrils.

The Eastern cost, Danvisk, they swore to their very last not to leave we the Davens with a living soul. With their fire class they invaded our nation, burnt up all buildings, destroyed most of our valuable historical objects.

All my father desired, was my safety, as he got me hidden in a huge container right behind the building, but in the process, he was caught, and the Invaders flew on him, and pierced his neck, and sucked as much as they could. I watched my father's skin turn white, at once the sensation of the class filled me, as I just felt like I already know how the class was used, far back it was just I and madania, she was skilled in using the element.

I came out from the container, in a furious range, stretched my two hands as a pulled up a wall of waters from the ground. It was so mighty that fear creeped into my heart. I had the the wall of waters fall on them, only few of them survived it, but then my Father already died".

"Am so sorry Alberto" Balmad said with a moody look.

"C'mon why the apology, over years now, the only pain I felt was that my father didn't witness when I first used my element, it would be a thing of joy, both for me and him because it's an event we both tirelessly waited for". Alberto said, getting the jar back to it's place.

"So son, the class comes when you don't expect it, most times it comes when you're in great need of it, and most times when it is not relevant" Alberto said, taking a deep breath.

"I guess you're right, i just have to put my mind off it" Balmad concluded, relaxing his back against the sofa.

Balmad had always been waiting desperately for the day his class will be revealed, but with the wise words of Alberto he was cleared off. Evening came, Balmad left, he headed home to make preparations for the hunting. In the World of Vampires, it is the duty of men to go hunting for the rest individuals, it is extremely an atrocity for a female to go hunting.

It was evening, the other hunters were all ready to make a move. Balmad dressed on a robe and his kite shape hat.

"Be home soon" Ava told Balmad as she closed the door.

They were just six of them, Raiden, Rocco, Wilder, Zeke, Mekhi and Balmad. Balmad was more closer to Raiden, to an extent of sharing crucial stories among each other. Raiden is the first son out of three children of elder Getathi. He already mastered his class, he could perfectly use them.

They went far into the woods in search of preys. It's a wide forest just with tall trees and dry leaves serving as the floor. Vampires could hear sounds from a distance, but not really as when close. At a Point they divided themselves and proceeded in twos.

Balmad hooked with Raiden, they had a lot of talk as they kept moving. They got to talk about Anne, Raiden loved Anne, but he wasn't sure if she loves him in return.

"Did you get to meet Anne yesterday?" Balmad questioned while clearing the path with a long wood.

"Yeah I did, but it seemed like she didn't want me around" Raiden said with a moody look.

"You're sure about that?"

"Yeah, in as much as I tried to keep us going, she still behaved less interested in the talk, I had to leave"Raiden narrated.

Soonest, Balmad heard steps, "hold on" he said in a low tune.

"What's that" Raiden asked him looking confused.

"There!!" Balmad shouted. They both raced towards the direction the sound proceeded from. It was a fat brown spotted leopard, as they were running, they bent slowly trying to touch the ground with their both hands, in the process they got morphed to black wolfs.

Generally, vampires turn into bats or wolfs and could as well be invisible, but just to the humans.

They both became huge black wolves, and gathered a great momentum which propelled them in driving on the leopard.

Raiden went for the head, while Balmad dipped his paws in the abdomen.

The prey did all it's best, but the pressure on it was much.

They got enough blood from the animal, got the blood drained into the jar using chemicals which act as throbin inhibitor, to keep it fresh till when it's been consumed.

Bilmad and Raiden were set to return, but quite unfortunate, others weren't gone yet. Before they divided into groups they selected a huge rock, anyone who is about going home, would place a blood stained hand to notify others.

"They're not gone yet, there are no signs to tell that" Bilmad said starring carefully on the rock.

"Yeah, they're not gone yet, let's just take a rest, while we wait for them" Raiden suggested, untying the jar he knothed in his waist.

"Ouch, my forearm hurts, i really applied much force trying to dip my paws" Balmad cried, landing his butts on the rock.".

"It was never easy, but it was a fast move anyways" Raiden said.

" Balmad", Raiden called. " Yeah", Balmad replied lifting his brows.

" How do you feel like, being the elected King to be, like what have you imagined about that as a status" Raiden questioned Balmad.

"Well not like I always think about that, but then, i see it as a great task, i mean, i know it's never gonna be easy. Not like i would be too authoritative, but then I would desire to be a justified King. I can't imagine to be loved by all", Balmad said while they both laugh.

Not quite long, the others came, they fellow parties arrived. One of the two groups was successful but the other wasn't.

"It was never easy" Rocco confessed breathing so heavily.

" Yeah!, I almost left my hand in the Jaguar's mouth, too risky though" Zeke tossed, followed a chorus of laughter.

They blood gotten from the hunting section is dispersed to other people, the dead bodies of the animals is as well shared for special meals.

It was night, Ava sat outside the coven sitting close to the camp fire she had prepared. She loved to use the harp, she made lovely sounds out of the harp.

Minutes later Balmad joined her in the outside, they both sat on huge stones. "Hey" Balmad said.

"Hey"

" You're not going to sleep yet, it's already late" Balmad said, but fixed his eyes to the fire.

"Even when I try to sleep, some memories won't still grant me the access", Ava said, trying to cover her feet with the piece of cloth lying beside her.

"What memories?" Balmad questioned.

"It's just hard to believe Dad, mum are never gonna be back in this lifetime, I never had a single moment with mum" Ava said with tears rolling down her eyes.

"No, you did, just that you weren't conscious yet" Balmad tried assuring her.

"What do you mean ?" She asked.

"I can vividly remember on that day, after she had given birth to you, she carried you in her arms" Balmad said.

" So...what then happened, why is life so tough? why wasn't I graced to just feel the motherly love, when I see others relate with their mothers,I just feel bad" Ava cried.

" Look Ava, I understand your feeling as well as your opinions,just remember that, no matter how hard we try, we still cannot reverse what has happened and what has been made to happen,the option we have is to just keep moving despite circumstances, just be strong, ok?" Balmad said as she curdled her.

Many days past, in the Eastern coast, Danuisk, the coast Lord, Lord Amberk, a vastly feared man,he is always dressed in black and always mean. He lives in the castle made for lords.

He has ruled Danuisk right from the age of twenty two. From the moment he heard Balmad will be great in the to come,he so badly desired to put him away from the surface of this Earth. The people of Danuisk already got used to his tough leadership. To the point that he murders any of his men who fails to carry out an assignment, wether major or minor.

Lord Amberk walked down the long passage way which had a sculptures of strange animals on the opposite of the high passage. It leads to the inner chamber wherein the throne is found

Group of the warriors followed him as he walked so gently. The inner Chamber's gate was made to open while Lord Amberk majestically walked in and sat so relaxed on the glorious throne,it had lion's head sculptures all over it.

"Louis" he called in a calmed but suspicious voice.

"Yes my Lord" Louis answered on his knees.

Louis is the chief warrior and the P.A to Lord Amberk. They both make evil plots together even to the point of execution.

Go and tell Mr. Morgan I sent for him and he is to respond with an immediate effect" Lord Amberk ordered.

" Yea.... My... Lord" Louis responded as he made his leave.

Mr. Morgan is an aged but gallant man, who still can't be conquered in a combat whole using the class of fire. Mr. Morgan is in charge of the Danuisks war logistics. He ascertain and pass the bill of law before it is being pronounced by Lord Amberk.

On a brighter side, the Eastern coast, Danuisk is of all the Antracians strongest, actually based on population and also, there you find more of the able men unlike the other coasts where you find them populated with young men, young ladies and children of whichost of them hasn't realised their class yet.

Mr. Morgan was informated on the immediate appointment with Lord Amberk, he made haste to respond quickly to avoid raising Lord Amberk's wrath on him and his descendants.

"Yes my Lord,you sent for me", Mr. Morgan greeted on his knees.

" What time is it with the Davens, and when is the next move going to be?, Like I told you,every power has to be retrieved fr the neighbor coasts"

" My Lord, based on last survey, they don't have any plot yet" Mr. Morgan reported faced down in showing respect.

"Go and prepare exactly five hundred soldiers,they are to be ready to set out in three days from now" Lord Amberk ordered with his tone ascending at every word.

"Yes my Lord" Mr. Morgan replied.

The soldiers were all alerted on the move at once and preparation began, the Spears, clubs, javelins, swords were all sharpened against a rock. Lessons too was organised for those who couldn't perfectly utilize the fire class, plots were made in order to go in cohesion.

On the other hand, the Davens never thought or expected such evil plot. The citizens all carried out their normal routines with no preparation at all.

Morning came, everyone was asleep except for Ava who just left the coven to do her rituals. From afar, she sighted glims of light, she had her both eyes closed half way to view more, then it came to her as fire, and later she could see images of people.

"They're here!, they're here!" She screamed with her both eyes wide open, rushing into the coven. Ava almost slapped Balmad to wake, he woke though still with part of the sleep left in the eyes, "Intruders!, Intruders!, I just saw them! alert the others I beg you!" She cried.

" Who?" He asked but waited no response, rushed towards the tusket, grabbed the two large sticks and drummed ridiculously. It was the onlyeams of alerting the coast in emergency times.

Everyone soon began seeking for hideouts,while the able men and few women stood their ground.

"We have to run now!!" Ava told Balmad.

"No,what about the others?, you go, I'll be involved in the combat" he said dressing in his war suit.

" Oh no please Bal,you don't have to do this,let's just go,please I beg of you" she cried holding him firmly.

" Let go of me!, I told you I'll be fine it's that too difficult to understand?" he says s pulling off her hands.

Balmad instead dragged Av to the exit and ordered her to leave the scenario.

"Oh no!, Alberto!" Balmad pronounced, grabbed his sword and headed to Alberto's coven, he rushed in but didn't find anyone.

"Alberto!!, Alberto!!" he called with all veins protruding helis neck.

It was all calm in Alberto's coven,he then ran out.

The Daven's soldiers already lined up,it was unfortunate the weren't prepared and so was taken unaware.

Alberto was already in the war front as he ordered and the Davens warriors joined fate in raising mighty shield of waters which was close to thirty miles up and a thousand thick!.

The Danuisks made arrivals, their matching sounded like million stampedes. The war leader ordered, "fire balls!!"

They all made fire balls with both hands and propelled it towards the Davens. But was witheld by the water walls,none of the Danuisk's effort gained due to the wall, until it got the point the walls went weak, cracks on it could be bodly seen.

At once, the Danuisks with all manner of weapons began striking the wall, some still kept the fire on against the wall.

In about twenty five minutes the great walls was made fall which ventured the war.

Many vampires were smear, some had their eyes being pictured with a javelin. The ones not armed made great use of the class they had.

Balmad stepped in,all he could see was fire and water exchanged in the the battle floor, he has no class yet but made great attack wit his sharp sword. The battle lasted for about an hour, when Mr. Morgan sighted Balmad and ordered him to be taken captive. With all hisight he tried defending himself, soon Alberto joined him, what more could he have done, he is an old man already.

Balmad received a sword which pierced so fast and deep into the left side of his abdomen, he made a loud growl which showed off his fangs.

He was bonded up in chains and was pulled into the cart which conveyed the officials.

The war was brought to am end, lots of corpses lying on the ground. It pained the Davens that their population got reduced by far. The Danuisks were more armed and mightier and also the heir had been taken captive too.
