“The book sucks.”he frowned throwing it in a corner. “Don’t worry I will tell you the entire story and you can ask questions as you please,just don’t cut me when I show you my hand.Okay.”
“I nodded.”
“Fine,so here it goes...”
“Once upon a blood moon,there was a boy,he was like any ordinary person should be but when he was adopted by another king he became a priced position to one and all.He enjoyed the lap of luxury even after his father’s death.There were many women who wanted to marry him but one day he saw her,the love of his life.She was just in front of him but he could not touch her and even she could not see him,it was then he understood that he was a king but a different one,his story, he himself did not remember,for the first time all the riches and wealth did not make him happy,he was lost in his thought process,when he was just a kid why had the king picked him up to be his successor.The women he loved was different from the rest,she used to practice occult science,destiny was waiting to open the hidden door,which had his fate sealed in it.He tried again but still no luck favored him,something told him that the world he lived in was not normal,they were strange and powerful,he needed someone to tell him the origin of the same.A person who was deft in occult art,she was the one but how could he communicate with her,it was so difficult for him,finally one day a brilliant idea came his way,it was through a stone statue,she had him in front of her and he wanted to make her aware of his presence,he was a ghost,no he couldn’t be,he had flesh and bones,a complete body of his own,he was definitely not a ghost,then who was he?.
She was so terrified when things in her house moved on their own and then she was actually able to see the the statue talking to her.She was willing to help him,she did sense someone’s presence for a long time.He was happy at least he won’t be in a maze of unknown.
“So you say that the king picked you up,you are definitely not a ghost and I cannot see you but you followed me since you had a huge crush on me,your father is the right person to answer all your questions but he is dead.Great.”she quipped,sitting just like the stone statue,her face was pulled in a strange humorous line,he wanted to laugh and he did trying to bring her back to her senses.
So as the plan was,his father’s soul did talk to him,he said “I thought you would never come out of that palace my boy.”
He could see him in front of his eyes but she couldn’t though her hands were in his hand,she could surely feel his touch.
“Who are you people?.”she asked and his father answered slowly.
“We are Lunatis, born as any human, but we do not die the same,the moon favors us,we just change bodies,this body which is gifted is not easily visible to the naked eye,we have unbelievable gifts,some of them are developed over time and some remain hidden till your existence,we die when we want to,the human body that we leave behind is a body without our soul but it is the most prized possession of our being.It has our memories and blessings of loved ones,it should always be protected,it will not rot like the others but many dark entities can misuse it,one such misuse is using its power to take another’s life.Once a pure soul is lost by its hand the lunati,who the body belonged to suffers the same curse as did his victim.”
With that said the old king disappeared and his son waited so did the women.Mustering all his courage he voiced again, “I wish to marry you.”
She fainted,he did not expect that but he sighed heavily,lying just besides her.With time both grew fond of each other,finally she said yes and the moment she did he was visible to her,he loved her and he did the same till his last breath,nobody till date knows why he abandoned her to die in a strange land away from him or why did she keep loving him in spite of his wrong doings.Their love was unconditional, not bound to be like it had to be,love was just love and hatred had no room in it,not even when things did not go that well for both of them.
The king grew old and many others came forward for his throne,he could easily see the evil in their eyes and nature.His kingdom was not safe and nor was his life.It is then he heard about his daughter,the human child born to his first and last love, Miyana.His old legs could not move but his tired eyes and painful heart wanted to see her, just once before he died.
“He who wins her shall have my throne.”he declared and many suitors who were eager to claim the throne set their foot to find her.One such evil man was Mudrox, born to the king as his dark imagery,he had a friend and his sister was his love of life,they both were evil and manipulative in nature, not gifted at all like many other lunati’s, in fact at that very moment it was discovered that once your human body was abandoned it could be haunted and possessed by evil spirits,darker the power more powerful the lunati,many who were still hungry for power did corrupt their own body,the women who he was in love with was the same,her name was Crystal.
She coaxed her brother to do the same,they fed on blood,not just ordinary blood but they sucked it from people who were gifted and talented,who had precise knowledge of occult arts.
One day as they were hunting they came across an island where people were busy celebrating.It was a feast night,the king of that land was happy because he had a newborn in his family.Hungry as ever the three lunatis arrived at the feast,Mudrox and Crystal feasted as well, so did the other lunati,his name was Jacob.
Jacob could not help his sensitive ears because the music that blended in the air was something he had never heard before,he tried to concentrate on his victim,the women who he had managed to seduce and take to the darkest corner,she was in his arms and he gladly bit her neck sucking her delicious blood,talented tarot card reader could not avoid her fate,she did fail to see the same.Jacob tried hard to ignore the music but he just couldn’t,it was hypnotic,calling him again and again.He walked where it came from,there was a women in between playing the violin,everybody was glued to her notes,they were happy and at peace.He felt the same.His eyes were a little unhappy,the women who was in front was just like any ordinary one,she was gifted though,but he did not like her,her music was soothing he felt at peace.He waited like the rest listening to her,she looked at him and smiled,he avoided her eyes and she smiled more widely.
“You play good.”
“Thank you.You new to this place?.”
“Yes.”
“Whats your name?.”
“Jacob.And yours..”
“My name is Mi..”
“Come on Jacob we are getting late.”barked Mudrox.
“Time to go.”he laughed.
“Will I see you again.”
“Unless you want to die.”
“You have already killed me.”she laughed advancing closer to him,he backed away just in time.
“Nice try but honestly you don’t match my taste.”he said pulling away from her.
“How do you know,you haven’t tasted me yet.”she flirted.
“Get yourself a man.”he said turning away.
“That’s what I was trying.”she smiled watching him as he shrugged and broke into a wild run.She smiled at herself and got busy packing her instruments.He did stop to look at her,she was ordinary but the air that she carried was definitely extra-ordinary,hard to confess but he loved the way she tried to flirt with him.Her most beautiful feature were her large breast and thick lips.He laughed, imagining biting her where her flesh smelled great just below the line of beauty.Those lips,well he was very creative,laughing now and then on his ideas and the imaginative blood that dripped down them.He would give it a try once, after all she did flirt with him,didn’t she?,it was an official invitation.
Once they arrived at the palace Mudrox fumed. “What is it?.”demanded Crystal, “Its him,he still refuses to give up his life and pathetic hope.”
“Still counting on his daughter.”laughed Jacob tossing an apple piece in his mouth.
“Brother you should stop eating garbage,this won’t help you...”
“I know Crystal but habits are habits they take time to change.Okay.”
She rolled her eyes and Mudrox was cursing under his breath.
“I wish he dies.”
“He shouldn't.” pointed Jacob
“Why?.”
“You don’t get his powers and neither his throne.”
While they were still busy in the old argument, Crystal jinxed the mirror,she could easily see the king on his bed counting his last breaths,she waited enjoying the tear that rolled down his old wrinkled eye, “Poor thing he still cries.”
“Who?.”
“King Auguaten.”
