The Luso Chronicles.

Dawn of the Old

     It's a normal autumn day just like any other, or at least that is what it appeared to be to the Human's eye. For those of us whose eyes have watched over the Earth for centuries, today was anything but normal. Creation only knows how long I have lived, and although I have lived long enough to see Christ to be crucified on the cross. I do find myself thinking it was just yesterday when that all happened; yet it was almost two millennia ago. I'm not human, there is no English word for the being I am. My job is to watch over the Earth. I live in a realm with my three brothers and sister, our parents had left to fulfil tasks of great importance. It is mid October now, the air is fresh, people going on about their day as if nothing were happening. Suddenly, a commotion occurred in the middle of the street.

     As cars stopped one by one, some even hitting other cars all thinking about one thing, 'What is going on?'

     I was sitting on a bench next to a woman whom I hardly noticed was there. We both got up at the same time. "Oh excuse me I didn't see you there" I said while scanning her to see why a young woman such at herself sat on a bench next to a complete stranger.

      "Oh no that's fine I just sat down for a minute till whatever caused the commotion with the cars caught my attention." Proclaimed the lady. She was wearing a brown coat and black pants with her hair nicely put up in a pony tail.

     "Whatever it is, it cannot be good." I said under my breath as I looked out towards the chaos.

     "Well should we go and investigate" She said curiously. 

     "I doubt you should go you might end up hurt and we don't need that now do we." I said. "So we just sit here and do nothing?" She said impatiently.

     "No, You sit here and do nothing I am going to see what is causing the annoyance, and once that is taken care of then if you are still curious be my guest to take a look." I said in a hurry not wanting to waste any more time. The Woman looks in shock and follows behind me, but I was too concerned to not notice.

     I walk down the road in a fast pace worried what the outbreak could be while being trailed by the stranger.

     I get to the intersection with my worries confirmed, it were the undead. "How convenient it's always the ugly creatures that cause me to go out of my way to save a few souls. Seriously creatures should really take more care on their appearance it would really save my eyes the hassle." I take my right hand and whistle out to get their attention and shortly after every last one of them came walking towards me as if I held up a sign saying Free Candy. Whatever the matter is, I am not in the mood to becoming one of them. I take out my other hand out and tear out a door from a crashed car not realizing there was a Father and two children huddled in there. "Mind if I borrow this? It might seem to come in handy against the garbage patch kids coming towards me." Regardless of their answer, I started walking towards the undead with the door held like a shield, and as I get to the first three in front, I take one quick bash and the three were knocked out, from there I smashed their skulls in one at a time with the heel of my boot. Just as I finished stamping the third undead's head off I heard a high pitch noise and then in front of me a flashing light appeared where two woman popped out of.

     Both of them wearing red dresses and holding what seemed to look like a white Pistol of some degree.

     "Oh how kind of you two to show up as I am hosting a party, can I get you two a drink? Perhaps some red wine fresh from the shop or maybe some meat will some suffice?" I said unbothered by the two and without giving them a time to react I continue bashing in the skulls of other undeads.

     "Look sister you were right he does have a mouth on him." The shorter one of the two said to the taller. "Indeed however the mouth he has does not concern us it is what he holds captive which is why we are here." The taller glares at me as if she was ready to snap my head with some space mojo or worse, her grubby hands. "

     Tell me what brings you two lovely women into the neighbourhood? I assume it wasn't the people. I have been told that they can get snappy when hungry." I finish the last word as I finish off the last undead. 

     "No what we have come for is the girl." She said impatient. 

     "Look I would love to just hand over any girl that would want but are you sure that is what you want? I mean there are many of men and other things to choose from, I feel like just any ol girl won't suffice a woman with your red tastes" Says whilst staring at her completely red outfit and eyes. 

     "Making a mockery of my fashion won't do you any good strange one. Now give me Lilith or you shall die here and now." 

     She says as her fingernails turn into claws. "What is with everyone nowadays? Does anyone have any sense of originality, why does it always have to be Give me what I want or die by my righteous hands or work with me unless you want to face the wrath of my RUBBER DUCKY."

     While all of this is going down the girl that I met earlier is just staring as her jaw was dropped to her disbelief of what she is seeing, however unlike everyone else she did not run but stayed at a close but safe distance.

     "Uhh what is going on?" The girl cried out from behind me. 

     "Oh it's nothing just the diva twins over here Kristen and Jackie from a I am going to eat your blood... clan nothing to worry about." I say as I walk towards the two girls in read, they were not giving me pleasant looks as they glanced my way.

     "Diva twins? Oh please we are royalty to the finest vampire clan of all of Maine. Wait! How do you know who we are."

     "Not important but Maine you say? Last time I was there a nasty bunch of you lot ruined my coat, it was a nice coat costed quite a dime" I say as I jump and take a seat on top of a light post. "Now go on why do you want Lilith?" Why do I feel like I will regret asking this question. 

     "Well Pale-man you have her captive and she is the daughter of Lucifer and God, an Angel of both Heaven and Hell she could prove quite useful." Kristen proclaims. 

     "Pale-man? You have me mixed up with someone else, the Pale-man is my father and his body died a few years ago after a mix up with the gods. No no I am no Pale-man but just some guy doing the dirty deed of cleaning up messes as you see here. Besides I am known as Luso or others may know me as the Cold-one. Glad to make your acquaintance. Now about Lilith there is no way you are getting her, sorry but I need her for leverage with Mr.Logan himself or as you say Lucifer." I say with a grin as I flash up a light above where my right hand was and then with my left hand take out an apple from the light. I then look at the woman that sat next to me by the bench. 

     "You girl with the ponytail what is your name?" I look at her as her face is shown of disbelief. "Uhh, Charlotte but my friends call me Charlie."
