Fated Souls (Unveiling Dawn)

Unveiling One

She's running in the woods away from their home. She ran faster because she knows she's going to follow her. She took a step out of the portal and feel the cold wind before taking a deep breath and started to walk. When she turned at her right side she saw her sister looking at the little guy while holding his toy.

"Azrail." She said. "Is that his?"

"Do you think this is mine?" Azrail asked her back and gave the toy back to the little guy. She was about to say something but something crashed on her forehead.

"Koj e toj ebam?" She cursed while holding her forehead. The little guy who threw his eagle toy looked at her with questioning look so she looked back at him and tilted her head.

"She told me to do it, it's not my fault. And  why is your hair white? Are you an albino?" He asked.

"Talaga ba? I didn't even heard her say anything you young filthy liar. And no, I'm not an albino."

"Then why is your hair white?"

"She dyed it. Ano may  tanong ka pa ba? " Azrail answered.

"Oh? Are you guys princesses?" A little guy holding a soccer ball asked them. "Yes we are." Azrail said so the two of them laughed.

"Stupid. Princesses are not real at this time anymore." Said the little guy with beautiful eyes who owns the eagle toy.

"Your eagle toy suits you well because you have the same eyes. But I will struggle you until you ball them out." Achlys said and walked towards the little guy.

"Achlys!" They looked at Amara who stopped her from struggling the little guy. "I told you not to cross the border."

"I was just trying to play with them."

"Play? You're too old for that."

"He's getting into my nerves, really." Achlys whispered and that made Azrail smirk because she heard her. "Pipitikin ko na talaga bibig ng batang 'to." She said losing her patience. Umiling naman si Amara.

"I like your hair." The little guy with the soccer ball said. "Totoo ba yan?"

Amara looked at the little guy and she just blinked many times trying to find what to answer him.

"Umuwi na tayo." Sabi na lang niya at tinalikuran na sila.

"Sungit mo miss!" The soccer guy said so the little guy with Azrail closed his mouth for him.

"Čao." Sabi ni Azrail at hinila sa manggas ng dress si Achlys gamit lang ang hintuturo at hinlalaki niya. "Hey! That's my toy!" He shouted at Achlys but she didn't look back at him. They entered the portal and Achlys started to run fast while Azrail tried to push her nang mapantayan siya nito.

"Ayan na naman ang mga prinsesa." A Septhis said because she heard them shouting at each other. No one knows how the Princesses looks like. Except for the servers and the babica, including the messenger and Achates.

Lumalabas sila ngunit dahil sa bilis, they can't even take a glimpse of them. Septhis' knows that they're their rulers, but it is not yet the right time for them to see the Princesses. The crescent crimson moon have not come yet.

"Why did you cross the border?" Asked Amara that is sitting on her red and gold throne.

"Sinundan ko lang siya." Kibit balikat na sagot ni Achlys habang hinahaplos ang kanyang itim na lobo na pinaglalaruan ang agilang laruan na kinuha ni Achlys sa bata.

"Azrail." Called Amara that made Azrail stopped from going upstairs. "And also you, Achlys. Don't ever try to cross the border again. Alam niyo naman ang kusunduan hindi ba? We will stop using the portal and stop interacting with the humans and they will do the same."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever, Amara." Azrail said and continued walking upstairs. Amara then looked at Achlys and she just raised an eyebrow at her. "At bakit ka naman makikipag laro sa mga tao? How old are you Achlys?" She shrugged and said, "I lost count." So Amara took at deep breath and Achlys just turned her back at her to go out.

"Totoo naman, nakalimutan ko na. Am I 1101? Am I a dalmatian though? No... 1406? Hindi ko na alam. At least I know I'm more than a thousand. Pwede na yon." Sabi niya sa sarili niya habang patungo sa pinto ng kastilyo.

She walked into the woods and when she reached the falls, she started to soak her feet in the water to relax. The crescent crimson moon was about to come and Sephtis Clan will finally see them. Leaving for thousands of years just seeing the two monkey vampires is boring. Kaya lumalabas sila ng portal paminsan ni Azrail and they always end up being caught by Amara.

After what happened to the King decades ago, they decided to just open the portal but they made an agreement again that they won't meddle with each other. This is one of their strategies to make sure that there is no vampire hunter left.

When Achlys decided to take a bath, she removed her black long dress and started to swim without anything on. She was just relaxing, feeling the beauty and solemness of the nature when she heard some rustling sound on the trees. He's playing around.

"Who told you that you can cross our border, Callan?" She asked him while still floating on the water.

"Are you really this unbothered? Talking like that to the Prince of Lenox Clan?" He said sitting on a big tree branch. Achlys didn't look at him, she just can feel where he is.

"I'm afraid, Prince of Lenox, that I don't feel scared right now. Not even a little." Achlys answered, still appreciating the calmness of water.

"Napa isip tuloy ako kung saan mo nakukuha ang lakas mo ng loob na kausapin ako ng ganyan. But since you're so calm and didn't panicked that I crossed our border, I will let you slide. And ofcourse, I don't want any trouble since I'm inside your land." Callan said and took a bite on the apple. "Don't you think this is a good opportunity for you to kill me, Mi Lady?"

Achlys smirked before answering Callan. "Pwede naman kung gugustuhin ko. Pero mas gusto ko pang pagmasdan ang mga ibon na narito ngayon kaysa sa sayangin ko ang oras ko sayo." 

 Callan let out an insulted smirk and let go of his apple.

"No basic lady can leave me dumbfounded, Mi Lady." Na iinis na sagot nito sa kanya. 

"I am not a basic lady, then." Achlys answered before standing up, still in the water. "And I will never be." 

"To answer your question, I'm just curious when will the crescent crimson moon will come. I want to see the Sephtis Clan's Three Faced Princess."

"You will soon. When the chaos comes."

"How did you know that there will be a chaos?"

Achlys looked at the big tree where Callan is and let out a meaningful smile. "Because I'm the bringer of it." She said and started to swim. 

"Are you wagging the tail of war now to the Lenox Clan? You're unbelievable. You're just a mere vampire." Achlys stopped on swimming on what he said and stood up. She walked towards the shore and picked up her dress.

"Am I? Then I think you should leave our land now. I might call someone that is not just a mere vampire." She said and I didn't heard him again. He left.

The Prince of Lenox is still playful as before. Roaming around like there's no border separating their Clans. He's a total opposite of his brother who is timid and mysterious. 

Achlys was about to pick up her dress when she heard a crow. She looked at the sky and raised her hand and it rested on her wrist. The crow is bigger than a regular crow. "Beautiful Rook." Achlys said and the crow made a noise again so she chuckled. She caressed her jet black feathers and the crow just closed her eyes. 

Achlys let the crow fly and grab her dress. But before she could wear it, it was set in fire. Kaya ibinato niya ito sa may talon. "Fool me now, Azrail." Achlys said that made Azrail chuckle. She then got down from the large tree and handed Achlys a black cloak. 

Azrail has Pyrokinesis. She can set fire on everything and everyone she wants to. Far from a typical vampire. Twin Princesses are cursed so are Triumvirate. But unlike them, those who was born before as Triumvirate are killed and some of them didn't take the curse and they died. It is still a question to them if they are the only one who have abilities like this. Maybe when the crescent crimson moon came they will know the answer.

"You're from the portal again. Ano na namang ginawa mo?" Tanong ni Achlys matapos isuot ang kanyang itim na kapa.

"Looking for someone."

"Someone to kill?"

"Part of it." She said and left Achlys.

She started walking when she heard Amara's voice in her head."There's a news."

"So is it bad or good?" Tanong niya sa kanila pag dating sa kastilyo. Azrail is walking around her white and gold throne while caressing its details while Amara is sitting on hers.

"We haven't heard it yet. Hinihintay ka namin." Sagot ni Amara and she just shrugged before  walking towards her throne.

"Tell us what is it, Hermes." Said Azrail.

"Isa sa mga Voini ang namatay."

"Who killed him?" Asked Amara.

"Humans." He said and and the Princesses gazed became deadly. Achlys looked at Amara and Azrail before looking at Hermes. "How can humans kill a Voin Vampire?" She asked.

"A Lenox was caught crossing our borders. Sinubukan ng Voin na habulin ito ngunit tumawid siya sa portal. When our Voin successfully crossed the portal, he was shot and his head was cut off."

"Sranje." Azrail silently cursed and in just a blink, she's already gone. Amara even called her. Achlys stood up and started walking down to follow Azrail but Amara also called her.

"Što misliš deka praviš, Achlys?"

"Follow her."

"Zošto?"

"Bidejḱi ne luduvame, se izednačuvame." She seriously said and ran to follow Azrail.

***

Čao - Bye

Sranje - Bullshit

Što misliš deka praviš? - What do you think you're doing?

Zošto? - Why?

Bidejḱi ne luduvame, se izednačuvame - Because we don't get mad, we get even.

Happy reading!
