Mated to a Vampire (Knuxadow)

Ancestors

It's been awhile since I have been home. I've actually missed Angel Island. The beautiful green mountains, flowers that grow on vines on the buildings, fresh fruits that give out a sweetness in the air. The rivers and lakes so clear you can see the plant and fish live thriving. All because of the power of the Master Emerald giving our island life and beauty. While today has machines and high advanced technology we only thrive with it on 25% of the island. We preserve the rest because our people have thrive off its natural gifts. It was also believed that the Master Emerald will lose its power the more we take from its island. For it existed long before Tikal and the rest of the Knuckle tribe discovered it during the great echidna migration. We were called the knuckle tribe because we only had our fists to build our homes along with digging to plant our crops. Over time a few echidnas had evolved and grew spiked knuckles on their hands as years go by. Our home originally from Australia was invaded and our people were being captured and forced into slavery. The men would be sold as the working slaves, woman were sold as house slaves or force into prostitution, children would be separated from their families and put on a farm until they were old enough to be sold. My grandmother Tikal grew up on the farm but she refused to be sold as a slave. She was the only echidna to gather a small group to start a large escape plan. Her, a male named Cobar, and another male Saber killed all the guards in the farm in one night. By the time they were discovered all the echidnas had escaped and found a hidden island off the coast. Tikal along with Cobar & Saber formed a plan to save their people. Yet little did they know they had already been slaughtered after the escape. They believed we were too dangerous to keep so they began hunting us down. Tikal in tears after finding her dead father wonder to a part of an island where she discovered a large gem. It stood 7 feet tall and 5 feet around it pulled her closer to it. She placed her hand on the mysterious gem and like a flash of lightning she felt a connection. The power of this gem gave her a vision of freedom. She spoke a sacred chat that she has never spoken before. It was the master emerald that had sensed her peoples pain and wished to help. Tikal made sure all the tribe was on the island and lead them to the master emerald. Once the emerald sensed all is present it glowed bright lifting into the air the ocean below made large waves killing the boats set to find their tribe. The emerald transported them to a undiscovered land where they were met by local natives in the land below. Cobar became the tribe king because he had made peace and shown the tribes below that they pose no threat. Tikal married Saber after the emerald blessed their union. Tikal knew that this powerful gem will be sought out and be stolen. She spoke to Cobar about her worry as he too believed that this could happen. The master emerald had saved them and brought all life to the land that we have today. The emerald sent a vision to Cobar in his sleep. The following day a ceremony had began as she became the first guardian chosen by the island's emerald. The people cheered for she had gather them to fight for their freedom, led them to the island and found the miracle that saved their new homes. This was how our island came to be.

Locke puts down his mug. "Wow that's quiet the history...." Shadow said sitting in my fathers home for the first time. "Yes indeed it is." I said. "Yet what does that have to do with this ruby you two brought? A young darker red echidna asked walking in. "Mace what did I say about ease dropping?" "Sorry mom couldn't help it. And Kim-lee was doing it too" "YOU SNITCH!" She said walking out behind the doorway. "But he has a point what does our family have to do with the ruby?" She asked pulling back her dark red fur into a messy bun. "Actually that's what I been wondering." I said as I turned to shadow. He clears his throat and takes out the papers I wrote the translation on. They were damped. "Shadz what happen-" "I bumped on the table and my water spilled yet as I was picking it up the way everything was worded before added up look. And it's safe to read" I read the words that jumbled together.

"July 10, 1898.
I found this ruby 2 years ago and gifted it to my beautiful daughter who is turning 10 this year. As she grew older I noticed my wife as been having her use it for selfish gain. I feared my daughter would be corrupted so I took the ruby to a place called Angel Island where I will meet with a guardian at the altar to spell this gem to rid the corruption my wife is putting on her.

September 3, 1905
My daughter will be turning 17 soon yet lately she's been acting out. It's time I used this spell to end the corruption in her mind.

September 27, 1905
It didn't work it only made it worst. My daughter has killed her mother and I am currently hiding from her. I must get back to Angel Island to have this ruby be protected!

September 29, 1905
The world has become darker yet this ruby is glowing she's close I must run. The Guardian had given me a spell to put my entries into the ruby but only someone from their blood could read protecting them until they are needed once more. He was given a vision that my daughter will return in the night of the blood moon and her minions will be on the hunt for the ruby. Yet I shall never live to see it for in 5 days I will die by the hands of my daughter.

September 30, 1905
The only way to protect the world is to hide the spell of full power trapped on the edge of the ruby. I had no choice but to crack the ruby in three. I crushed the full power spell preventing her from completely taking over the world as she sends dark shadow monster to possess and drain mortals to serve her. I have engraved the spell to release the ruby's power and free my daughter from her blacken heart by death.

October 2, 1905
I'm such a fool I have broken the spell piece off and lost it somewhere in this damn building being built in the Mushroom Kingdom. But there's no time to look for it I must run.

October 4, 1905
I'm bleeding out my daughter has found me. The queen and her brother are fighting her as we speak I must break the ruby. I will teleport it to the same building I lost the spell too. This will be my dying act."

The room is quiet my mother, father, brother, sister, and shadow sit there quietly in shock. If the spell to stop her is still in the college we must find it before the blood moon. Yet there's a problem.

The blood moon is 8 days away.
