Amaranthine Dawn Of the Supernatural

Part 35

They look aboard to see many aircrafts landing in the surface, it is neither the military or DAWNEGARD, but something more. One of the Aircraft, with is a military helicopter lands closer to them. The bay door opens and Riley appears from it. As he begins to approach, the DAWNEGARD soldiers, not knowing who he is aims their g*n at him.

"No, don't, stop, he's one of ours." said Griffin who approaches closer as Jacody and Eve tend to Peter. "Hey there Celtic, looks like I'm late to the party." said Riley. "Yeah, thanks for the assist you brought but..send them back, it's over." said Griffin.

"No mate, it's only the beginning, those choppers aren't here to bring assistance, they're here to take you all to the place where we are going to provide assistance." said Riley. "What do you mean? Where? And why?" asked Griffin.

"We need to head to Bran Castle, if we do not, it would mean the end of this world." said Riley. Meanwhile in Bran Castle, the DAWNEGARD base established close to it is completely destroyed, only ruins remain as the soldiers stationed once are now imprisoned in the fort dungeons including Commander Hector.

There are people also being enslaved by a group of cult members in the fort, forcefully making them prepare for the ritual about to take place, deep in the Sanctum, a group of Cult members carry a familiar Coffin in to the center of it.

The rest of the crowd of cult members are speaking incantation and stop when the others reach the center, they place the coffin and return back to their position, Valor, in the body of Helana approaches, leading a army of thralls, several other cult members approach with the captured slaves and cut out their hand, as they scream, they begin drawing out the markings required for the ritual using their blood, Helana approaches to the Coffin while the thralls stop by her Command, she opens it and it grins as it is revealed to be the body of Ilayda who had been dug and brought all the way from Wakefield Falls to here, she approaches close to her and keeps her hand on her foot.

"Such beauty…shame….it goes to waste…..ritual….must…happen ..he…wil.. Return!" yells Helana in the combined voice of herself and Valor. Just as the Cult members finish preparing the markings, they bring the prisoners to the thralls who grab them and obliterate them while Helana spells her Incantation.

The cult members who is watching from all around her too spell the Incantation with her as Helana's eyes turn glowing red and the Dark Amaranthine from her hand flies over to the forehead of Ilayda. The moon turns red as a ray of light shines on Ilayda's body, slowly the light turns brighter and brighter, evolving in to a beam and the Dark Amaranthine lands on her head.

Suddenly the beam turns in to a burst and knocks down everyone, cause a huge repluse. The entire Sanctum goes dark as not a single light is visible, suddenly, just as Helana gets up and approaches closer to Ilayda's body, her eyes open with glowing red as the Dark Amaranthine which attached itself in to her head glows as dark energies sinks deep in to her skin.

Helana kneels down, as do her thralls and cult members witnessing their Dark God's resurrection. "Praise to the New God, praise to the king of Vampires, our creator, the one true God of the Glabro, praise to Caesar!" yells Valor through Helana. "Praise to Caesar!" yells the thralls and Cult members. 

Meanwhile as the crew is heading to the Bran Castle, Peter, now in his human form approaches Riley. "Hey." said Peter. "Hey, look who's back in his clothes again." said Riley as Peter smiles. "Well guess I could use some jumpers maybe, one that won't tear off once I turn in to a wolf." said Peter. "Would be very weird if a wolf is wearing a jumper, very different from banner." said Riley to which both of them chuckle.

"How are you holding up? Fighting off a royal Vampire isn't a easy job." said Riley. "Definitely, that woman had serious mental health issues, I just wish that we could have dealt with her before losing Ilayda, and what happened with Jim." said Peter.

"Yeah, I get it mate, would be super cool if the Amaranthine had a ability to manipulate time but time, it's tricky, isn't it?" replied Riley. "Yeah, yeah it is, I wonder why." said Peter remembering about the time where Jim travelled back in time to meet him, and Ilayda too, alive and well. "Oh and a, by the way, there was a signal disruption in Ceuvest, Mary was unable to contact you about Jim's status actually." said Riley. "How is Jim?" asked Peter.

"He's better now, it's quite complicated, but not in a bad kind of way." said Riley. "We got time, you could explain if you want." said Peter.

"Well, during my time in the Council, I was once assigned as an assistant to a physicIan, he was a good one, treated his patients well, despite being a vampire, he never lost control over the flow of blood, but.. he was different, as in… He found different ways to modify the abilities of a vampire, sort of like a witch doctor to the supernatural, things were going well.. then he got killed by one of his own patients, after my task was done, I was allowed to take the possessions of the doctor, that's how I come across this." said Riley as he hands over a book to Peter.

Peter receives and goes through, finding various incantations and procedures relating to various types of creatures. "Wow, how many are there? Like us?" asked Peter. "Various mate, I've even met some before coming here, this book had never failed me before until.." said Riley. "The procedure failed?" asked Peter.

"Not exactly, you see, I tried to cure him of vampirism, thinking it's the same effect as being a t****l, but it didn't quite work well, so I did a bit of tweaks here and there and the procedure went perfectly, but the result wasn't." said Riley.

"Maybe because of his link to the Amaranthine? And he's alive right?" asked Peter. "He is, but also dead at the same time, he's showing symptoms of a newly turned vampire, but he was bitten right? How is that even possible? like I said Mary before, he could be a ..half vampire." said Riley. "Oh, yeah.. guess I am not the only one belonging to two worlds now." said Peter.

"You belong to three worlds my friend, an alpha to your clan, a son to your father and a leader.. to your friends, never met a person like you who could fulfil the roles of all three perfectly like you did, Jim will probably do the same." said Riley. "I hope so too." said Peter as suddenly the monitor on the chopper turns on, and Sebastien emerges from it. "Speak of the devil." said Riley.

"Greetings, my fellow brothers, I am really glad to have your assistance in the crisis we are about to face, some of you may know, rest don't have a clue what is going to happen, please, allow me to ease you all by explaining everything, in the sixteenth century, where vampires ruled the world as kings and Queens in Transylvania, certain number of people felt disused by the new system of administration, so they decided to bring back someone who could bring order to this world, Julius Caesar, the creator of vampires and one of the powerful men to walk this earth was attempted to be resurrection again.

But the ritual was interrupted by the followers of Vlad and his associates, since bringing back Caesar would mean bringing back the dark age itself back in to the world, after the followers formed an allIance with certain countries to bring back Caesar in return for power, Vlad, knowing this, decided to take action by aligning himself with the Crinos to destroy them permanently, he was victorious but was betrayed by his own brother.

During the battle between both brothers, both unfortunately died trying to kill each other, as the history says, centuries pass as some of the loyal followers prepared the ritual once again to resurrect Valor back in to the world, after kicking out their b****y queen out of the kingdom, that queen, Serena, who is also known as Rebbeca to you went in search of help from the Crinos.

They agreed, under one condition, Serena, as well as her people will become their property, with no choice Serena agreed to their bargain and interrupted the ritual, but what she did not know is that the ritual was already done, a part of Valor was released and was possessing a vampire soul, Helana, before she could start her own faction, the Council captured her and enslaved her in her own kingdom, but years pass, few people decided to pay a visit and freed her.

Now Valor, residing in the body of Helana, is preparing to resurrect Caesar back in to the world, in the body of your late friend." said SebastIan as he shows a photo of Ilayda's body being taken by cult members, caught in a security footage.
