Warrior of Light: follow the sun

Chapter one. THE MURDERER WITH YELLOW EYES.

The sun sits down; its red rays were falling on a small lake and wide field, located between wet rocks and an infinite dark forest. On the wide field didn't live any living creature, beginning from various cockroaches and finishing by largest majestic animals. There were neither green grass, nor high dense shrubs; there was only the earth with sickly plants which, apparently, died a long time ago. The dead ground had been covered by stones of different sizes, giving it even more terrifying look.

On one of the rocks it was possible to make out stone windows and doors. In the bottom were a large stone gate, covered with bones and skulls of humans and animals - this rock was the house for vampires. The dark and gloomy mountain pushed away a look of any living creature. The castle hadn't been surrounded with high and thick walls; vampires weren't afraid of anybody coz they were at the very top of the food chain.

At the foot of the rock there lived the most terrible animals - wolves. These animals got this name for a reason. For centuries, the vampires hybridized deadly predators with wolves to get the unique breed. Black wolves were four to five times larger than their distant relatives - gray wolves. All predators had black color of wool, if she-wolf gave birth to a gray or white puppy, then vampires considered it as garbage, and then they were killing all wolf-cubs together with the female-wolf and the male-wolf, to not allow damage of genes in all pack of the wolves. These animals were too fast and hardy; they could pursue a victim for many days or weeks. Their hind paws were longer and stronger than the front paws; thereby the wolves could jump on several meters upwards. Their paws were equipped by deadly claws; it had unique structure due to this, the predators could scramble on trees and even on stone walls. In the dark environment they couldn't be noticed; the animals quickly and silently killed their victim.

Animals had been fettered by thick iron chains which were kept in the thickness of the rock. There were a few dozen; some of them slept on the cold ground while the others were trying to break the iron chains to find freedom, but most of them enjoyed such a life.

From the forest could be heard piteous cries of birds which hid in nests, preparing for the long night. Except of growl of the black wolves near the castle there was a silence; a lonely wanderer, who doesn't know these places, would think that this mountain is only a lifeless stone where nobody lives, but the numerous empty windows were deceptive. Vampires didn't live in the top part of the rock - they lived under; a lot of deep tunnels left deep into under the ground on tens of meters, where the blood-suckers spend majority of time.

Soon, when the last rays of the sun ran low, the dead gate began to move. The ground began to tremble; the wolves started running from side to side because of fear, trying to break away from the chains. The bare bones on the gate were swinging aside, making a dull sound of blows against each other. After a moment in that area became quiet again. Animals calmed down and began to sniff a smell, which slowly crawled out from the castle; there was the smell of blood and carrion.

Near the gate there were five silhouettes which dragged corpses on the ground. Black wolves began yelling; their jaws had filled by saliva. Five large vampires dragged bodies of people; there were women and men, their necks had been torn and blood-stained. Having approached the animals, one of the vampires had raised the corpse and threw it a little closer to wolf; the greedy predator grabbed the meat by teeth and began to swallow it without chewing. Other animals started howling more loudly, waiting for the turn. Wolves that were much further howled by all throat, hoping to enjoying, at least, by one little piece, but the five vampires, having fed a couple of the animals, headed back to the gate.

Vampires weren't similar to people. Their eyes were completely black - it allows them to see well in the darkness. Because of the poor circulation of the blood, the vampires had white skin color. One vampire was much stronger than three men of human race. They were very fast. The murderers didn't know about mercy or compassion; they were killing without any regret, no matter child or adult man, as a result, both of them were dying by painful death. From the vampire's bite a man wasn't becoming one of them; it or died or survived, if could run away. Only a vampire can give a birth to another vampire.
