WHAT THE HELL! I woke up and sat upright. Where the hell was I? I looked around, I was in a tent, lit by several torches. I looked under the covers… Naked… I kind of expected that. Why would they help me? The elves were there for the child of prophecy, I was there to kill him, and make sure that prophecy never happened. Damn employer left me for dead, they must’ve taken pity on me and brought me back to heal me up. I got out of the bed and took off the test tubes. I looked at my body, incredibly muscular, I haven’t eaten in a while. I looked over at a female elf caring for… my target. An evil smile erupted from my face. I quickly, and silently took his clothes and threw them under my bed and put on my jeans. I snuck over to the elf, and lifted my Unholy Hand.
“See ya sweet cheeks.. Oh god I did not just say th-” I tried to finish my sentence bu the elf screamed, grabbed a ruby from the table and pointed it at me. Not a jewel summoner… I felt something as if a spear was being stabbed through me and I was blown at least twenty fwet into the air, smashing through the flaps of the tent and sliding right to the feet of another elf. Holy crap. The prince. He is embedded with Lyrium.. Liquid magic that goes through his veins. I shot up, and grew my wings. The prince grabbed his staff off of the floor and spun it around his fingers so quickly it looked like a buzz saw. I was dealing with a pro.
“Come and get me!” I yelled at him as he shot a huge magic bolt at me. I dodged it barely and dived straight towards him. He responded with a lightning bolt to my face. I smashed into the ground, my wings slid into his feet, sweeping his legs out from under him. He flipped right next to me, our temples touching. I rolled back onto him and pulled back my fist, I punched him straight in the jaw, and repeatedly to the head. I smiled as blood spurted out of his mouth, then I realized he had his staff in his hand. Oh hell no.. He stabbed at me, the blunt staff hit me in the stomach and an arcane blast erupted from it. I flew at least fifty feet in the air. Oh crap. I started my descent downwards and thought it was the end. I have no regrets.
Then something… odd happened. I felt my torso, caught and arms wrapped around it. Who? I landed with a thump and my head was on a woman’s lap. Beautiful. I sprung up. I looked around for my sword and found it in a bag.
“Why?” I asked them. Jovan the prince looked at me with anger, then a confused look on his face emerged, then he laughed. Jovan realized I was just confused, and was backed into a corner so I was defending myself. Jovan made a gesture to the other elf to lower her ruby. I backed away from the vampire who was looking at me with a hungry look. Jovan the prince gave me a comforting smile along with his sister I presume… her name was Lelanie I think.
“You have a part to play in the prophecy.. Might I ask your name?” The prince asked.
“Spathos…” I replied solemnly. I had a part to play in the prophecy eh? A cruel joke.
“You shall not kill Jethro, you shall become his friend,” Jovan told me. The hell I am! That kid beat the hell out of me! Then in the next second, The Prince placed his hand on my shoulder and gave me a comforting smile.
“You will. Accept your fate,” He said and walked away. I eyed The Prince. Ok… I won’t kill him for now. ‘Thank you my friend’ I heard a voice in my head. Oh yeah… Elves have the ability of telepathy. Hm… I sat next to the vampire, not sure what to make up of all this. The vampire put a hand on mine and I shook her away.
“You wanna know something else that I see in your future?” The vampire asked. Hell this vampire could have the power of foresight. I turned my head towards her. She gestured me closer and I rolled my eyes as I leaned in.
“You and me, my tent,” The vampire said and giggled. I scowled as I turned away. I cracked my jaw and I felt a hand touch my arm, I shook her off.
“Come on… I was just playing. Let me just say your scent is fantastic,” She told me. Was that supposed to be a compliment? I rolled my eyes. She smirked. She was not going to give up that easily. She took my arm and pulled me closer. I couldn’t break away.
“Shh shhh shh… Just you wait, you’ll come to me soon enough,” Rachel said and kissed me on the cheek. I finally wss able to break away and growled at her. I walked away and sat by The Prince.
“The damn vampire is trying to get into my pants,” I said, causing Jovan and Lelanie to laugh. I raised an eyebrow at them and smiled. It was quite amusing wasn’t it?
“She tries to get in everyone’s pants, even tried to get me once,” Lelanie piped up through laughs. I raised an eyebrow at that as well.
“And..?” I asked.
“Wouldn’t you like to know,” Lelanie said and smiled. Jovan was laughing. It even caused me to snicker.
“Tch,” I said, stopping myself from snickering. Jovan smiled at this.
“You don’t have to hide your smiles and laughs from us, we’re your friends now,” The Prince said, smiling a comforting smile.
“Really? Cause five minutes ago Ms. Squeal over there hit me with her Jewel Summoner magic. Lelanie looked away, embarrassed.
“That was a-” Jovan tried to explain but I cut him off.
“I am not any of your friends! REMEMBER that!” I emphasized remember. I got up and walked inside of the healing tent. I looked at my target, Jethro apparently, his parents killed, little did he know… He has a sister. Heh. What a surprise that will be when I tell him. I made both of my hands and forearms turn into hellfire and brimstone. I used one hand to grab his throat and the other, I made a cut that went across his nose. The Mark of Cain… it worked… He is the Hero of the Prophecy.
“See you later… Hero,” I smiled evilly as I walked back outside…

Chapter 4.
This day just gets better and better…
12/22/2011. 5:01 PM.
Jethro Black.
It took us three hours to get here… Better be worth it. Lelanie gave me a heart-warming smile before stroking my arm and opening the pathway. Oh… My… God. A beautiful valley so beautiful, plants all colors, blue, red, green, it was so amazing. It almost seemed impossible that such a place exists.
“Amazing isn’t it,” I heard a voice, not like any others, it was Lelanie’s. She looked out on the great expanse of the valley. All I could do was stare at her, and when she turned towards me, I looked upon the valley as if I was doing so the whole time.
“Eh… I’ve seen better,” It was a horrible joke… and yet she laughed. Did that seem weird? I don’t know. Ah… what was I supposed to do now?
“Jethro, uhm… do you want to know how to control your powers?” She asked, it seemed desperate the way she talked to me… Was that weird?
“Sure!” I exclaimed eagerly. Magic… awesome. She walked over to a blue plant, it was huge and beautiful, and then she reached inside the bulb of the plant. It seemed dangerous so I almost flinched at her expense, but she pulled out a beautiful glowing blue sapphire as big as the palm of her hand. She smiled at it as she stroked it with her left hand, it almost seemed to… purr?
“Yes yes, we need your help… Yes the boy can be a bit of a dunce… Oh that is uncalled for,” She spoke to the crystal and every time she paused, the crystal would make a humming noise. The humming noise became agitated as I hard her say Oh that was uncalled for.
“What is it saying?” I asked, I looked over her shoulder, I couldn’t see anything. Although she stared at it as if she was looking into someone’s eyes. I made a beeline from her eyes to where she was looking and concentrated on that one part. I saw a face… that face is getting bigger… That face is spiky and has fangs. CRAP! The face exploded out of the Sapphire, as a column of blue and black smoke. I was blown back, smashing into a tree as I saw the column disappear into thin air.
“It doesn’t like you since your half-demon,” Lelanie said, giggling. I loved her giggle, stop it Jethro, you got no chance with an elf. Huh… I never thought I would ever think or say what I just thought.
“Oh… I don’t like it either. So how is this thing supposed to help me?” I asked, even more confused than before. I pushed myself off the ground and kind of limped/walked over to her. Then she did something unexpected, she took the crystal and made a stabbing motion to my chest. I couldn’t dodge. I felt the crystal break through the skin, and start to bury itself in between the muscle fibers under my skin. ARGH! I fell to the ground, the crystal was in my chest, and it hurt like hell.
“What the hell was that?” I asked, and felt a little bit of blood rush into my mouth, I spat it out before looking back at her. She was already kneeling by me.
“Hold on this might sting a little,” She said as she took off her right glove, I never knew why she only wore one glove in the short time that I have known her, until now. Her right hand… uh… was taloned. She gripped the crystal and… well… I burst into the air, and energy flowed through me, it felt like I was just hit by a thunderbolt but that was quick, this was relentless. Finally, after a while it stopped and I fell to the ground. Ugh… what the hell?
“SORRY!!” She said as she trotted over to me and ripped the Sapphire out. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?… You know I actually feel better than I have in years. What was in that… jagged sapphire? I felt energized, like I could take on the world. There wasn’t even a wound.
“What was in that?” I asked, did I just get shot up with steroids? Jesus… This was some crazy shizz.
“It… lets you control your Angelic Magic,” Lelanie said, and pointed to a tree. She smiled at me which gave me courage. “Try it out,” She said and stepped out of my way. I did feel a bit… more powerful? I looked at my right forearm and hand and suddenly they turned into glowing blue and gold crystal. I made a swiping motion with my hand toward the ground. For a second I thought nothing happened. Then a crack exploded in the ground, at least ten feet in length. I made a fissure in the ground where light BURSTED out of it. Awesome. I stopped the fissure by closing my fist and punched at the tree where a huge Angelic Magic bolt exploded out of my hand and cracking into the tree. I felt tired out.. More so than I’ve felt in a long time. I fell to my knee’s and touched my right angelic hand to the ground. I felt a bruning sensation as if my arm was on fire. AH! The crystals receded and I fell back.
“What the hell?” I asked. Lelanie giggled. Apparently I was new to this.
“Since hell and heaven are different planets no Angel or Devil can absorb magical energy from the planets. So, Angels sent a huge Magical Source in the sky for Angels and The Devils made the core of the earth a reservoir of Demonic Magic. So when and Angel touched the ground it hurts. Some know how to fend it off but not many,” Lelanie explained. I looked at my left hand and hellfire and brimstone erupted around my left forearm and hand. I touched the ground with my left hand and felt a surge of power explode into me. WOAH. I took my hand off of it. That was pretty amazing.
“Cool,” I said. Yeah that was my response. I wondered about something. “Can Demonic and Angelic… you know… combine?” I asked Lelanie.
“Er.. They have before… Asrael, the Angel of Death is an offspring of an Angel and Demon, but Demonic magic was the primary aspect of Asrael’s powers. Archangels are also offspring of angels and demons but… Angelic magic is the primary aspect of their power,” Lelanie explained. I still have a lot of stuff to learn about Demons and Angels. A LOT.
“So what about Vampires? How did they get mixed into the fray?” I asked her.
“Well, Vladimir the Impaler was the offspring of a human and demon. When he was defeated by the Ottomans, his face plunged into a pool of blood. He started to suck it up and the next thing you know, his demon side took over and he’s been infecting people ever since with the Vampiric Virus,” Lelanie explained again.
“Oh wow. So are their werewolves?” I asked, it might sound stupid but why not?
“Yeah but they are almost extinct. there are a few tribes on earth but that’s about it,” She said, I was incredibly interested.
“How about we meet up in my tent tonight and you can tell me more?” I asked, smiling at her.
“Uh… sure!” She answered eagerly.
“Cool! Uh… see you there!” I said and ran off back into the path that lead back to the camp.
Meanwhile…
A man sprinted incredibly quickly through a field of flowers and vaulted into the air, and over the tree… He started to sniff a footprint..
“Jethro..” The man said and ran off into the forest.
