8 Savage girl of Czarö

"We didn't feel any different but mother found her hands fading into the dust. The spell she had cast was one used only in dire times where the caster would need to sacrifice their lives to access the demons home. Within minutes her hands were gone, then her feet, and lastly her body and face scarring the entire family with that memory," Enzo stood from the ground stretching his arms into the sky.

"So the four of us survived?" I asked confused.

"If you mean the children then yes, the five of us survived, but I'm getting to that part," smiled the man. "A week after our mother mysteriously disappeared, we found ourselves changing into creatures, dangerous ones. Everything we tried to eat tasted like iron or sand but that all changed when our father came home one night bleeding from stubbing his toe in the farm. The urge we had was so much we could not see anything but a prey in our midst. That night we killed our father, going off into a rampage killing everyone in town. The next morning we came to and found our town just like this field, only in a much horrific scene."

I tried to imagine a town filled with dead mangled bodies void of blood and it scared me to think of such.

"Our elder brother Exodus declared we keep our identities a secret, hoping we'd die out one day and not have to hurt anyone again, however it was not so, for we lived on through the decades and the centuries and the millennials like this without changing forms or growing old. That was when we knew what we had become, we were immortals, evil things which should not exist for we were no longer humans. The five of us lived through time, knowing we could not die and we were cursed to walk this earth as monsters. We explored our powers, saw our abilities and it thrilled us at the beginning, but by the first one hundred years we had grown tired of life as we begged to die," he came back to his ground seat, laying back onto the tree again.

"Three thousand years after we had been created we got tired of living alone and since we had never experimented on it before we decided to create a family of Vampires just like us. Exodus wanted us to use it on a family who was in dire need of health so we picked the Williams family, a family of merchants whose fate hung on a thread between life and death. At the time a deadly disease roamed the earth killing off humans, so we turned the five William family members into Vampires. They were the only people we gave this power to, however, they went around turning humans into beasts not caring of the consequences," his voice deepened. "We became known amongst the vampire world as the Primordials while the vampires who had lived for more than two thousand years were known as Pioneers. Of course new born vampires were called Fledglings but I'm pretty sure you already know that last bit."

I nodded, I had heard it from Henrietta when she had come to visit me at the monastery.

"But if I was born ten thousand years ago, why do I not remember anything?" I asked still confused at the complexity of the story.

He looked away from me to the field standing to his feet with a grunt.

"How about I leave you two alone while I go fetch you something to eat?" he smiled, blurring out of the field leaving me alone with Umbra.

The vampire had been sitting on a branch above me while I sat at the base of the tree throughout Enzo's narration. I turned to her causing her to look away while she whistled into the wind, "Really, you're just going to behave like my questions don't need answers?"

"Look, it's not my place to say anything and we just got you back," she whined. "How about we enjoy the new you and focus on having fun for all of eternity."

I liked the idea of that, however, I believed that something important was missing in my history which needed to be fixed.

"Please Umbra, you're the only one right now who can help fill this void in my heart," I pleaded.

She sighed slouching her back in a funny way, "By the gods I hope Ramul can forgive me for this."

Jumping to the ground beside me, she took Enzo's seat ready to start her own narration as I peeled my ears for new information.

"I'm going to be brief and I'll explain everything in a time stamp kind of way," she explained. "Everything would be exposited to you in a time before our present time."

"Sure," I answered with wide eyes.

"Pay attention because I won't explain it to you again," she heaved.

"Okay, I'm all ears," I replied.

"Just like Enzo had said, we were born around ten thousand years ago and the Williams were created around seven thousand years ago. Exodus the first born of the Angus family created the Kingdom of Czarö around five thousand years ago becoming its first King..."

"I don't really get..."

"Hush hush hush, no distractions, just listen and put all this information into your head," she snapped receiving a nod from me. "Around four thousand years ago, our brother King Exodus got killed in the war between the seven elder gods and the whole of humanity which causes you to lose your mind two thousand five hundred years later as you go into a killing rampage."

"Isn't that the time when the savage girl of Czarö was said to have terrorized the entire country?" I asked.

"Yes, and that is because you are the savage girl of Czarö," she smiles clapping her hands enthusiastically.

"That is impossible," I spat out. I'm sixteen years old with..."

"You don't want to believe me, fine, but don't come running to me when seven thousand years old vampires start coming after you," she replies casually.

"If what you say is true, then why would I lose my mind two thousand five hundred years after our brothers death?" I asked. "As a vampire I know I might have killed thousands of people to survive, losing a brother should not be much of a difference after living for that long."

"You're right, but losing Exodus was not the problem, it was the battle against the gods that gave you the problem," she stated. "The battle was so great the entire earth shook and split under the fight. It wasn't a country level battle Reya, it was a planetary battle which took almost a month of continuous destruction and sacrifice as you watched your comrades die one by one in brutal ways."

I thought deeply about it before giving my thesis, "So the after effects of the battle affected me thousands of years later making me go into a killing spree for five hundred years?"

"Ding ding ding," she cheered as I looked into the distance shocked at the new development.
