2 Romania (1/?)

<4 years later, Carmilla Castle ,Romania>

(3 Years prior to cannon.)

A 14 year old boy walked into the castle as a Servant shouted" Presenting Arthur Falcone, Stray Devil of Pure blooded nature and his bodyguard a vile, mixed blooded Old Man."

Zareth turned to his butler and said" Vampires are immortal right?"

The Butler nodded his head and said" There are indeed young master however they can be killed in certain situations."

Zareth nodded his head and said" I see, thank you for your guidance, Xaerth."

Zareth then turned to the vampire who had spoken out his name and said" I wonder how they cope without air?"

As he clicked his fingers a vacuum appeared around the Vampire suffocating him, however as it was night, with his strengthened powers, he was simply knocked out, re-awoken until the pain knocked him out again, the cycle repeated itself until a domineering female voice commanded" Let go of my servant now whelp, guards seize the devil, bring him to the prison."

As the guards approached Zareth, he smiled gently flicked his wrist up, in response all 11 guards fell on the floor holding their necks, turning to the queen, Zareth simply said" I'm here for your daughter, the one who is 13, the one with the amazing magical potential. She will serve as the Queen of my peerage and the envoy for my faction and the Vampires, I will only offer the position of my queen once. After that a pawn will be her place."

The queen rose off of her throne, instantly the entire hall seemed to freeze over, small crystals of ice formed on Zareth's fingers, causing the confident boy to smile. Looking up to the queen, he muttered" So a battle it is, I hoped that the rumors of the blatant racism of the Vampires were false however it seems that they were correct, I just hope you are strong enough to back it up."

The Queen broke out into maniacal laughter as she looked at Zareth who was smugly glancing at the throne behind her, her eyes scrunched as she threw herself at full force into him, sending him flying into the wall. She smugly shouted"Is that all? Little Devil is that all you had? Really now, come on."

Seeing himself bleed for the first time in 2 years, Zareth smiled, licking the blood off his left hand, he responded with"Ad proelium ante, dico porro virtute magna Lucifer"

As the last syllable left his mouth four wings erupted out of his back, two jet black Devil wings and a set of crimson colored griffin wings, the space around Zareth instantly warmed up, a gentle breeze began to swirl around him as he pulled himself up and off the marble floor. Looking at the crater he had caused when he hit the floor he smiled and turned towards the queen and drew a line across his own neck, indicating his plans for her.

The following 30 seconds scared the vampires to their core, the queen stood still for three seconds as Zareth disappeared and appeared behind her, his hand grabbing at her throat, slamming her in the floor. Looking into her eyes he whispered" The fun is only beginning"

Lifting her up, he threw her into the throne that she had arrogantly sat upon before, appearing before he clicked his finger as a blade made out of the wind itself appeared in his hands, walking down the steps to the throne he jokingly gestured to the queen that he would like to duel.

The look in her eyes made Zareth smile, for the last four years, since he had first collected his evil pieces that look has followed him, that look was one of pure hatred, envy and fear. Suddenly all of the fear left the queens face as a victorious smile erupted over her face, a large magic circle appeared below Zareth, he entire body was encased in ice, unable to move.

The Queen laughed as she walked down the steps towards him, laughing at the 'Discomfort' written on Zareth's face, in fact there was only one feeling in Zareth's body at that time, euphoria.

'So this is what its like to be on the other end of the abuse, I can't say that i like not being able to move but it is an experience I need to remember. Magic can come out of nowhere and I need to be prepared for that luckily, this is ice, and what is Ice? Frozen water.'

The 'discomfort' vanished as the Queen approached, when she was within his reach, he quietly whispered "Break".

The ice that had imprisoned him shattered, turning thousands of small daggers that now floated in front of him, each one pointed at the Queen, looking bored he asked once more" Your daughter or death?"

The Queen snarled "Death"

Zareth nodded his hand and 12 of the daggers shot at the Queen, to his surprise they were intercepted by silver dolls that were fifteen centimetres tall and wielded sabres and guns that seemed to be made from silver. He smiled, looking at the Queen, he asked" Who?"

The Queen took a deep breath, to stabilize herself, this was the closest to death she had ever come, it is true that Vampires are Immortal however the myth is exaggerated, they can't age, they can die in combat. The Queen sighed and said" Elmenhilde Karnstein, a Vampire Noble."

Zareth nodded his head, the daggers still pointing at the Queen, he looked around and said" Elmenhilde, come out, I now offer my proposal to you, join my peerage as my Queen, you will act as the official representative between me and the Carmilla Vampire clan, I will also offer to stay away from the Tepes clan."

A Girl with a doll-like appearance with long wavy light blonde hair, deep red eyes, and a beautiful face similar to that of a Western doll walked towards Zareth, She wore a red dress worn by princesses back in the Middle Ages, with an ornamented head-dress, a small smile on her lips, she responded " I would like to add a two conditions to your proposal, One I can drink some of your blood on occasion, Second you spare the Queens life and leave her to rule here. She is a good Queen."

Zareth smiled at her and said" I like your confidence but I wonder if the half-breed vampires see her as such a great Queen? It's not important to me though, I accept your conditions, Xaerth my queen piece, please."

Xaerth, walked up to Zareth and handed him the Queen piece, the muted piece had a tainted Griffin insignia on one side a pure darkness on the other, turning to Elmenhilde, he said" Elmenhilde, I decree that you are no longer a Vampire but are my Queen, you live and die by my side form this day forth."

Zareth shoved the Queen piece into her and turned towards the Vampire Queen and asked" Where are the exorcists that are hunting the feral vampire? I would like to see the wielder of Durandal myself before I return to my home."

"The Village they were sent to is 6 hours south of here, Elmenhilde can show you the way."

Zareth nodded his head and left the castle, having gained his silent Queen, he made his way South, Durandal calls his name...
