58 Madness Of Time

In the year 1597, Japan.

These times were those of social upheaval and constant civil wars in Japan. Later generations would call this the Sengoku period, or the warring states period.

For civilians, it was total hell. If they couldn't pick up the sword and join some samurai warlord or clan, or join the Ikkō-Ikki, then they weren't even given as much consideration as common stable animals.

But for those who prayed on all humans alike, the ultimate predators, it was heaven on earth.

Vampires originated on the American continent, and Japan was on the other side of the world. Given the poor means of transportation in this era, very few monsters could find this land.

Those who did came with the arrival of Europeans in 1543, and they were very few in numbers.

In the middle of the night, in the castle of a Sengoku daimyo.

Judging by the decorations, it was the atmosphere of a party. But it was too quiet, way too quiet.

In the ballroom of the castle, the smell of blood permeated the air, as bodies of guests laid everywhere.

"Suck-gulp! Gulp! Gulp!", except for the sound of drinking, there was no other sound.

After draining the blood from the neck of a young maiden, Kol released his grip on her body, letting it fall.

Then he sat down and leaned back into the couch and looked towards Katerina, who was draining a middle-aged man.

"Wait, is this one her father? They look somewhat alike..." he asked, wondering if the guy Katerina was draining was the father of the young maiden he had just drank.

"Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!" Katerina released her grip, and another body fell, "Thump!" then she replied, "Was!".

But after thinking about it, "No, this one was her uncle. That one was the father." she pointed at another body on the ground.

"Are you sure..." Kol was doubtful, "The way they were looking at each other, it was like father and daughter.".

"Maybe they were just close..." Katerina was also puzzled.

"Hmm... maybe.", Kol replied, "Let's resurrect them and ask!", his eyes brightened.

"There's no need for that!" Astrid, sitting not far observing them, interrupted their meaningless squabble.

"This is the east." Astrid continued, "Their societies and customs are different from ours. A child can be as close to her uncle as she would be to her father." she was the one who had traveled the world more than anyone.

And with that, this conversation was over.

Kol got up from the couch and sat beside Astrid.

Then he wrapped his arm around her waist and leaned over for a kiss.

"Get... away!", only to be pushed back, "Your breath reeks of blood.", Astrid said in disgust.

Kol was stunned. She was no longer a vampire now.

But then he looked down and put his hand in her corset, "Riipppp!!", and ripped it apart.

Her seductive body was revealed for the world to see, as her glorious breasts bounced up and down before settling in a position.

Then Kol tried to grab her breasts, but they were too big and didn't fit in his hand. So he held them up and leaned over to start sucking on them.

But just as his tongue was about to make contact with the area in between the two mountains, he noticed something.

A small tear in her skin, only about a few centimeters, and a bright tangerine light was coming out of it.

Now Kol was worried, "Your situation is worsening. You need to change now, or this body won't hold for long.", he advised.

Even with the constant evolution, her body couldn't bear all her power. If this continued, it wouldn't take long for it to be destroyed.

Good thing they had already come up with a solution to this.

It was simple.

Her soul contained the laws, while her body contained the divine energy.

According to the current situation, her body could only contain half her divine energy, so the idea was to create another body to contain the other half.

Afterward, when the evolution process was completed in the next few centuries when Astrid's soul was done evolving and contained all her laws, she just had to find a way to merge her two bodies. Some sort of medium.

For this to happen, Kol had already created a new body for her, but she hadn't changed it yet.

"I know my situation best. It'll be fine for a few more decades.", Astrid pushed away Kol and got up.

She didn't bother to repair her clothes as she walked, her breasts were jiggling up and down.

She sat down beside Pearl, the only person here who didn't stink of blood.

Because of the butterfly effect of Kol and Astrid, Katerina reached Japan roughly two centuries later than when she was supposed to, and by that time, Pearl and Anna were long dead.

But after so many years, Astrid was getting bored with Kol and Katerina. It didn't feel like a party anymore. So Kol, who remembered the original plot, resurrected Pearl and Anna to accompany them.

Then he turned Pearl into an Alpha Dhampir, and Anna was turned by Pearl into a Beta.

Pearl didn't feel like eating today, so she didn't join the others and just sat there watching her daughter feed.

Astrid sat beside her, grabbed her hair, and drew her closer for a kiss.

One might wonder why their characters changed so much. Kol and Astrid now were like completely different people from what they were a few centuries ago.

They weren't like vampires or monsters, but ever-evolving, ever-changing gods. They learned so much more from a moment than a vampire did in centuries.

All in all, one can't be alive for 600 years and not go a little crazy.

At least their situation was a lot better than vampires who never learn.

Watching Astrid explore the insides of Pearl's mouth with her tongue, Kol looked at Katerina.

She was looking at him as well.

They were both doppelgangers, and even though it didn't affect Kol, it affected Katerina. And when you factor in how compatible they were with each other, Katerina had completely fallen in love with Kol.

Kol got up and walked towards her.

He stood in front of her as he gazed down at her. Her breasts were threatening to burst out of her corset.

A doppelganger's charm was undeniable.

Kol waved his hand, using telekinesis to destroy her garments, not leaving even an inch of cloth on her bare body.

Her seductive figure revealed in front of his eyes.

He pulled down his pants and his erect penis dangled in front of her eyes.

"Help me!", he commanded.

She got down on her knees and happily began her work.

In the year, 2009.

In the middle of the night. It was raining.

On the outskirts of a small town of Mystic Falls.

A car was driving on a road going through the woods.

The guy complained while driving, "An hour's drive to hear that crap. You know, it wasn't even a band. A guy with a guitar... An hour each way.", he was frustrated.

They were heading home from a concert.

"He wasn't that bad.", the woman said.

"He sounded like James Blunt.", he argued.

"What's wrong with that?", she asked.

"We already have a James Blunt, one's all we need.", he said.

"So why did you come?", she asked.

His tone softened, "Because I love you.".

"Nicely done.", she smiled.

As the car galloped on the road, the fog started to get thicker and thicker, and it became difficult to see.

"What with all the fog?", the woman asked.

"It'll clear in a sec.", he replied.

Suddenly the woman screamed, "WATCH OUT!", spotting a man standing right in front of their car.

But it was too late.

The car hit the man so hard that he was sent flying. His body uncontrollably spun on the roof as he fell behind the car.

With the screeching sound of tires rubbing on the road, the car came to a halt.

The couple inside was terrified. The woman breathed heavily, while the guy looked quite unsettled.

"Are you ok?", he asked her.

"We just hit someone, oh my god.", she replied in a panic.

The guy took a few deep breaths and told her, "Call for help.", he hastily took off his seatbelt and opened the door.

He was going out to check and help the man.

As he walked, he kept parroting, "Please be alive. Please be alive.", rushing quickly towards the body lying in the middle of the road.

Not even noticing that the fog had somehow magically disappeared all of a sudden.

As he got there, he bend down to check if the man was still alive, to find a pulse.

But there was no pulse.

That's when the realization hit him, "Oh my god...", the man was dead.

A look of horror appeared on his face. The consequences and the implications of what this meant.

And it was at this moment that the body opened its eyes as it reached out and gripped the guy's neck.

He got up with such vigor that no one would believe he was just hit by a car. He got behind the guy, revealed his fangs, and sank them into his neck.

All in one singular motion, like he had done it a thousand times.

The guy struggled hard trying to break free, but it was useless, he only felt weaker and weaker as he felt his life waning, being drained by this vampire.

This vampire was Damon Salvatore.

On the other hand, the woman got out of the car and shouted, "There's no signal!", there was no signal in this area.

But when she looked over there, she found no one. Just the empty road.

"Darren?", she called out, "Darren?", her voice was lacking confidence. She had no idea what was going on. How could they suddenly disappear?

But just then, "Bang!", Darren's dead body fell on the hood of the car.

She was startled and looked back in surprise.

Noticing the teeth marks on Darren's neck and blood dripping from the wound, a look of horror appeared on her face.

She screamed her heart out on the spot, and turned around and ran.

She ran with everything she had, like her life depended on it.

But it was all useless. Damon was still hungry. He grabbed her from behind before she could run very far, and sank his teeth into her neck.

Over time, as centuries passed and human societies began to evolve, they became more and more curious about the world around them and began to explore.

On the other hand, with the support of all the realms in Marvel that Kol had conquered, Himinnheim now had endless resources, and with the ever-booming trade with Naboo and Dathomir, they no longer needed to produce anything at home.

Himinnheim was expanding, constantly growing, its population ever increasing, reaching nearly a billion. So much so that at one time, the kingdom span over the whole American continent.

In this state, with the policy of 'non-interference', or at least, non-direct-interference with the development of the non-magical world, they needed to do something about it.

So before the age of industrialization began, Himinnheim employed some forces in Marvel and Star Wars to terraform planet Venus.

Then they rented a massive convoy of starships to move their population there.

The whole thing was a massive loss, and they had to pay a lot, but in the end, to preserve human creativity, it was worth it.

However, even if the kingdom did not exist here, its influence still did. They were controlling the world from the shadows, like always.

Kol and Astrid separated from Katerina in the 1650s and went their separate ways.

In the early 1700s, Kol's younger brother, Henrik did not follow them to Venus and instead decided to go and reunite with Niklaus and others.

In the late 1700s, Kol came back to earth to cast a massive reality-altering spell that dictated that any Siphoner in the world who ever turned into a vampire would automatically convert into a Beta Dhampir of Kol's sireline.

In 1863, Valarie and Stefan met, fell in love, and had a child together.

This time, Valarie and her unborn child were saved from Julian by a passing vampire named Rose who worked for Kol.

But Valarie wasn't allowed to reunite with Stefan yet. That's not what Kol wanted.

In 1864, Katerina, who now changed her name to Katherine, became a guest at Salvatore's guesthouse.

Seeing that Stefan was a doppelganger of Kol, Katherine tried to replace him, but soon she realized that even though they looked the same, they were two different individuals.

Then Katherine played with Stefan and Damon like in the original, turned them into vampires, and left.

But Stefan didn't become a vampire. He became a Beta Dhampir.

Only, since he never took off his daylight ring, he didn't discover it until much later.

As a racial trait of Beta Dhampirs, they don't have anything like bloodlust. Drinking blood is just feeding to them, like eating anything else. So Stefan didn't become the ripper.

Not long after, Stefan and Damon parted ways.

One day, while wandering around, Stefan encountered Valarie.

After learning the whole story, the two began to see each other again.

After a while, they moved in together and began to raise their child, who was now already three years old.

Eventually, they fell in love with each other. This time for real.

Then they were offered a place in Himinnheim, away from all the world's troubles, which they accepted.

Then they moved to planet Venus and lived happily ever after.

______________________________________________________

.

About a month before Damon came to town.

It was a nice morning in Mystic Falls.

A white and red Porsche 911 GT3 RS was galloping on the road.

Led Zeppelin was playing loudly on the radio.

Inside the car were two people, a man, and a woman.

The man was muscular and had shoulder-length black hair and purple eyes.

The woman had brown hair and sea-blue eyes.

They both wore matching leather jackets and enjoyed the music as the surrounding scenery passed by.

"Beth, I have to make a quick stop.", the man spoke.

"Why?", the woman asked.

"I have to do something symbolic, that I believe should be impossible to do for any mortal.", he answered.

"What is it?", the woman asked.

"You'll see.", he replied.

"I didn't think you cared so much about symbolism.", the woman spoke.

"This is an exception.", he spoke as he slowed down the car and looked around at the houses one by one.

He was using telepathy to find the right house.

This man was Kol. He and Annabeth were on their way to Mystic Falls High School before he suddenly remembered something about the original plot.

After finding the right house, Kol stopped the car.

"There's still time before school, let's hope he'll be home.", Kol was excited. He got off the car and walked over to the door of the house.

Annabeth was more and more curious. She wondered what Kol wanted to do. It was rare to see such an excited expression on a millennia-old being.

A boy who looked about their age answered the door. He had blonde hair and blue eyes and was wearing a sports jacket. Overall, he looked like your regular school jock.

"Matt! Matt Donovan?", Kol asked.

"Yes", he looked at them, then looked at their fancy car, and looked at them again, "Can I help you?", Matt was confused.

"It's about your mother.", Kol spoke sympathetically.

"Mother... something happened to my mom! Who are you?", Matt asked worriedly.

"Matt, is your sister home?", Kol asked with a sympathetic expression on his face.

"No, tell me what happened to my mom. Where is she?", Matt asked.

"She's... she'll be fine. Let's go inside and talk.", Kol spoke.

"Alright.", Matt agreed.

Annabeth was watching everything with interest. She followed them inside.

After shutting the door, Matt asked anxiously, "What happened to her...".

But before he could finish his sentence, Kol flashed right in front of him and sank his fangs into his neck.

Matt struggled and despaired, but it was futile. Darkness slowly took him.

Matt was a very unique character. He stayed a perfectly normal human being from season 1 to season 8, from Vampire Diaries to till Legacies.

Every single bad guy, and sometimes even some normal characters had tried to kill Matt, yet he still somehow survived. This was unscientific. So Kol just had to go and try his luck.

It wasn't a matter of strength here, that Kol could easily kill Matt. Even a regular vampire should be able to kill Matt just as easily. But it did not happen.

So Kol wanted to see if it was pure luck or were some different forces were at play here that were not revealed in the show.

After a while, Matt's dead body fell to the floor.

Turns out, it was just pure luck, and Matt was indeed killable.

"Why kill him?", Annabeth asked.

"I can give you reasons... but really, I just felt like it.", Kol wiped the blood off his lips, "It's exhilarating.".

"To kill some regular guy?", Annabeth rolled her eyes at him.

"He's not your average Joe... he's Matt fucking Donovan!", Kol sighed, "Forget it... you won't get it.".

"Let's keep it that way. I don't wanna get this.", Annabeth seemed bored.

But then she remembered something, "This will attract attention.".

Kol replied, "It won't.", in a flash of white light, Kol's appearance changed and he looked exactly like Matt.

"Call me Matt from now on.", Kol spoke.

Annabeth was surprised, "This is gonna be weird.... but I'll get used to it.", she was expecting him to destroy the body or something.

"Aren't they gonna notice the change in psychological patterns of his behavior?", Annabeth asked.

"They're hormonal teenagers, not FBI analysts. It'll be fine!", Kol replied, "Besides, it's only temporary.". Kol didn't destroy Matt's body but stored it in his ring.

Then he hugged Annabeth's waist as they went out.

This was going to be an interesting year at Mystic Falls High.
