Maneater

Blergh!

Splat!

The splattered blood felt warm. A beautiful woman, a child in her arms, was fleeing from a magnificent palace, which was framed with marble columns. Her chest had just been pierced by two knights.

The child was then taken away from her. The woman fell into a puddle of blood, as she struggled, reaching towards the child, her eyes filled with despair and pain. Blood gurgled out of her mouth, as she clung onto the leg of one of the knights.

"Give my child back to me! My child, my Adonis, give him back to me..."

Splat!

The soldier raised his sword and stabbed it down on her again.

"Ahhh!" Adonis Monar jolted awake from his dream. Even though the ghoul's bloodline had ensured that his body no longer could produce sweat, he still trembled in agitation and cradled his head.
