The Last Standing

The Last Standing: Prologue

                                                                           .*.

   ' Remember child its only Dark endings that bring the Brightest beginnings '

"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!" - from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

The Battle Cry was bellowing, blood was raining like cats and dogs, the bodies from yesterday were still strewn across the fields and more, the fear of death that may break them apart was apparent as crystal.

Guilt had come aboard the mind and was slowly seeping making its way through the arteries and vein and into the heart. Baby steps at the start. Soon replaced with that of a toddler only to find it hurried into that of teens and then becoming of as a Man's.

Wasn't it a duty to bring them here!

Yes- yes it was, is. But the conscience is conflicted. The whole of it came wrong. 

This has not bound me. Nor will I let it. 

" Sir, it's important, please listen, Sir, it is about your father ".

A nod to go on further came as the only reply.

"Sir the King Vlad Alucard Court is no more. In his final moments, he has made you heir to the throne of The Last Standing".

"How? Wait where is my mother? After him, she is meant to rule".

"She died in her chambers before your father, Sir ".

"Yesterday night, she was found in front of the castle's main door. She had lost a lot of blood. She succumbed to her grave injuries before first light, Sir."

"Who, who did it?", he roared 

"The Fallen", he asked in an earth-shattering

 cry.

"No Sir".

"I asked who did it", he struck like thunder.

"Your own kin, the Gennady".

"Name him".

"C co- Constantine Emanuel Gennady", replied the soldier.

There was a long quiet pause afterward.

It looked like there would be an oncoming long day of Mourning. The soldier contemplated. It was harsh. But they were amidst a war started by the last King with the Fallen and war is all about loss. The boy must be brought back to his senses or there would be no kingdom for him to rule afterward he thought. Even I have suffered. Not one in the whole kingdom who hasn't. 

What to take, what to comprehend, and once it has reached the bottom of your deep dark pit how to retaliate?

There was a series of emotions on the Vampire boy's face that were beautiful to look at. And mourn was only for a flicker before his eyes calmed as if it was the calm before storm.

"Tell her I surrender "

The soldier outrightly thought he misheard the boy.

"Sorry, Sir, again".

" I said tell Faline I surrender", said the King.

" My King". 

The soldier scurried away with his teeth rattling with fear.

King had none else to go to other than his love. Queen Amelia Faline Raith of the Fallen kingdoms. The Enemy.

"Your Erylius is coming" he whispered alone.

  'Alas, lass, love and war always go together'

And the eyes moistened but the body became numb.
