The rise of the flamed bird

The land of the half dead

Bernard could not comprehend what he was hearing! He now knew exactly why those villagers had come barging into their house, One of their parents had to be a  creature of the dark. Was it their Mother or their father? He couldn't think of anything right now. He put on his bravest and most emotional face and said " So what ?"

"You have guts kid! You know what you two are right ? An abomination ! People will be scared of you if they know! You belong with us and so does your sister although i cannot smell the paranormality in you."
"You will come with me either with force or by will, you will have to decide the way, the destination is accounted for."

Bernard never knew what he said next because the next thing he knew his vision went blur and the huge man lifted him onto his shoulders along with Audrey.

The man was fast and strong. He was seen by the Lodge owner who tried to attack him to help them. The next thing Bernard saw was the lodge owner lying on the floor , cut in half, after that everything went dark in front of his eyes.

He came to when he felt the heat on his face. He opened his eyes , groggy and not able to comprehend anything. It was the huge man " Finally!" He exclaimed

"How did you do that ?" Bernard asked "Where is my sister ?"
"She is safe and sound, sleeping." "A heavy sleeper isn't she?"

Bernard didn't respond, all he did was stare at the huge man. " All right I will explain! I am a part vampire from the Myddelton family , I can  blur sight by looking at a person along with that I have the werewolf blood which gives me super strength."

"We think you have a similar kind of gift but we are not completely sure. We will need you two to come to our lands. I can assure you , you will be no guests. You will be part of us. We can provide you information about your previous generations."

"I concede " were the words which left Bernard's mouth
He knew at some point he would need to protect himself and his sister.
" Smart choice, but you had none." Said Mark " We never leave our own behind."
The silence was too much to bear for Bernard. He saw his sister sleeping soundly and decided to take a walk.
In his head he was clear he would do his best to fit into this new land.
The next morning when he woke up he saw clearly what he was surrounded by , all he saw last night was trees, but this was a terrain he had never seen surrounded by water streams, rivers and forests . It was a beautiful scenery for someone who had been trapped unintentionally on a island. Mark urged him to keep his pace up. He was carrying his sister.

It was a new sight for him. Not even his father had been so caring towards
his sister. He had always cared for him but not her.
The landscape had again changed.  It was dry , not desert dry but still dry. By lunch time Bernard was hungry enough to eat up a portion for ten.
" It will start getting harder from here. " Mark said.
" How so?" Bernard asked.
" Evil things lie ahead from here young one, things you have never seen before. "
" We have to tread close, you will have to stay close to me."
By the evening the surroundings had started to become even more barren
the landscape had become even more steeper and scarier. The fog had thickened. The visibility had lessened, he could hear voices.
" Mark! Watch out !"
A raging beast had come out of nowhere , it had its fangs and paws out. It tried to attack Mark but he was faster within a flash he had shifted himself and Audrey. Within another second he had shifted Bernard. He was standing guard in front of Audrey and Bernard. The beast attacked him again, but to its dismay a silver blade had flown right through its heart. Mark caught both Audrey and Bernard in his hands and started moving again with an inhumanly speed. But the beast earlier was not alone , soon they had been surrounded by at least fifteen of them . They had no choice but to retaliate.  Bernard had picked up one of Mark's blades. He could not see himself but soon he was ripping through the beasts with his bare hands. A beast tried to bite him but it went right through him, the next thing he knew Mark had already flown a blade through its heart as Bernard closed his eyes. He was brought back to reality by a firm hand placed on him. As he looked around he saw blood, black and boiling. He himself was covered in the black mucky blood. His hands dripping with it he ran as fast as he could towards a water stream. When he looked at the reflection he was horrified. He did not look in any way what we would say is normal. He had a pair of fangs out, his eyes had turned yellow, he was on fire and there was some sort of aura around him. He could hear Mark's hurries foot steps coming towards him. " What am I ?" He asked .
" I am not sure, but believe me we will sort this out, this is something new, but we will see to it." Mark replied.
" Where is Audrey? " Bernard asked
Mark's face turned pale and seeing the look on his face Bernard dashed towards the clearing with a speed unknown to him, She was not there.
He dashed as fast as he could to near by clearings but the area was too steep for him to search for even with his unknown powers.

Mark soon caught up to him and with a quick snap of the neck Bernard was out.

Bernard came to locked up with a leash around his neck and his hands tied up.

He was angry, and he wanted blood. 

He could feel the restraints around his neck and his arms melt. He was going to make that bastard suffer for letting his sister go. He banged on the door as hard as he could the metal door split into two immediately after his wrist's contact with the door. 

"Mark , come out you weasel!" " I am going to make you suffer!"

Mark unfazed , came out of the narrow corridor unafraid. Bernard threw his fist at him but Mark was too skilled and dodged it and had him pinned.

"You have seen me Bernard, I am too damn experienced , you can't make me suffer." Mark said with anger in his voice.

" Listen carefully punk ! We are at war with every possible supernatural creature that you can probably imagine , I know you have lost your sister and it is my fault for not keeping an eye on her but we can get her back , help your kind to succeed in this war and in that process save your sister. " "I know you are distraught and that is bound to happen , but you must keep your calm at all possible cost , you are powerful indeed but you need to be very alert because being just powerful is not enough."

Mark moved his hand forward to pick Bernard up to which Bernard didn't hesitate.

" The king of our kingdom has summoned you personally to which you must oblige, welcome to the land of half dead Bernard."
