The Vampire Prince and the Vampire Hunter

Part 3

Saphore

My name is Clad Bloodworth. I'm a vampire. Five centuries ago I asked my friend to make me human through magic so that I can marry the human girl that I loved, Isabel. But that magic created a portal that transported me, my brother, and my friend, a pack of werewolves and some witches, to a world where creatures like us do [should] not exist. For centuries I blamed myself. I made a mistake, one after the other, after the other and after the other. For centuries I took them away from our home. For centuries I've sinned against my old friends.

But that changed, my brother and I, together with our dear friend, Morgan, we've brought them back home. After years of being away we're finally home- all of us. But something is wrong. Everything changed. The home we once knew became something we've never seen before. And when I thought everything was at its bad, it even got worst when we found out we've brought guests from the world we tried to escape from.

Dahan-dahang iminulat ni Clad ang kanyang mga mata. Sa una ay malabo pa ito at wala siyang gaanong nakikita pero naaaninag niya ang malawak na kalangitan at naririnig niya ang tila maiingay na busina ng mga sasakyan. Sunod ay naramdaman niyang sumasakit ang bandang ibaba ng kanyang likod na parang bang bumagsak ang katawan niya sa matigas na platform. He then realized na nakahiga nga siya  and when he turned his head he saw his brother smirking at him. Nakahiga rin ito ngunit nakatagilid ang katawan nito paharap sa kanya. His hand on resting on his head.

"Hello brother" Malcolm greeted

Sumimangot naman si Clad saka tinulak ang kapatid kaya napahiga itong muli. Tumatawa lang naman ito. Sinubukan niya ring bumangon kahit medyo hirap siya.

"Where are we?" he asked

"You tell me" si Morgan ang sumagot

Napaangat ng tingin si Clad sa kay Morgan. Nakatalikod ito sa kanya at tila may dinudungaw sa baba. Doon lamang napansin ni Clad ang kanyang paligid. Mukhang nasa tuktok sila ng isang napakataas na gusali.

Dahil sa labis na pagtataka ay bumangon si Clad at lumapit kay Morgan. Halos malaglag ang kanyang panga sa kanyang nakikita. Where the hell are they? Isang malaki at malawak na syudad ang nakikita nila. Ibang iba sa Saphore'ng naaalala nila.

Napalingon ang dalawa kay Malcolm nang bigla silang akbayan nito.

"Gentlemen, welcome to the New City of Saphore" aniya at tinuro ang isang malaking parang karatulang nakatayo sa bundok na naroon. Malayo ito sa syudad ngunit kitang kita pa rin ang karatula dahil sa laki nito. At ang nakalagay rito ay New City of Saphore.

"What the hell happened here?" ani Clad.
