Last of my Kind

It was the year 537 BC, when the great war of Gog and Magog caused an upstur in the whole capital of Gesher. These two mighty army fought for power and to take posession of the land and all it resources at all cost,the casualties of life lost that day were of the sand of the sea. There was a woman who studied sorcery for many renown years,took her under my tenure to work and support my army with the necessary tools and power we need to conquer any army or enimy,our allied forces from the northern tribe was already defeated by Magog's impressive troops,it was my army on the line,my kindom,my throne and family were all at stake and I would have done anything it took to protect that which i loved the most. I ordered my sorcerer to do that which was unthinkable, to call on the ancient spirits of the dead to give unrivaled  power to its host,but such power came at a cost in which took my sanity,my kingship and most of all my pride. Been taken over by such ancient spirits,at the helm of the full moon i became that which has never been seen by the human eyes,unparallel to reality,a shape shifter a weer wolf,me and my army destroyed Magog's army, when we thought we were victores in turn this was just the beginning of sorrows,our desire to kill grew more and more,my soildiers began to feed on all lives stocks,even their own children. What curse have i brought upon Gesher the great city,my sorcerer tried many ways to have it reversed but all attempts were futile,the only option is to have them all slained,I love my people and i will do whatever it takes to protect my people at all cost. All changed whether young or old was put to the sword that day,it was weeping in paradise,but I myself the king could not find it in myself to give up my own life,as though we are to lead by example but i spared my own life and kept it a secret until this day,as the years went by i became more abreast to my new fond powers,won many battles,snatch many souls and lost many friends,it was a bitter and sweat reality that i had to live with,seeing everything that i came in close proximity with may die by my hands. But inspite of all my misfortunes,i am still a man that required to be loved by someone,the girl i required was a daughter of a simpleton,from a poor home and it was custom that those of the royal blood line do not intermingle with the poor,for this was a crime againts the states and you can be put to death,for a few weeks i have been watching her going about the village,even as king i could simply send my guards for her and use my kingship to make it all possible but i would prefer it to be mutual. I got up early one morning knowing quite well that she normally goes to the brook to fetch water for her family,her father was elderly and sick,so  i opted to send one of my guards to give assistance to her but not letting anyone be aware he was doing this through my bidding,i had sent him with a note to tell her to meet with someone close to midnight ,not knowing if she would show up i still went for as the deer panteth for the waters so does my soul longeth to be joined with her by all means. While been covered with a coat i stood looking around if i saw anyone coming then i heard is anyone here so i turned around and i replied be not startled, i won't harm you i just want to talk with you for a minute,she replied sure but who are you and why did you choose to meet at a place like this and at such hours of the night,while she spake i removed my coat,to her surprised she fell to her knees shaking and replied your majesty to what do i owe this visit and if i was aware it was you i woild have never spoke in such manner. I replied its ok my empress with an outstretched arm i help raised her up and i said i know you are well aware of states law where those of the royal blood line cannot intermingle with those that are not of the fold and can be put to even death if found breaking such a custom,she replied softly yes your majesty hence why i am asking to what do i owe this visit for we have just broken the state law and can be put to death for such a crime. I responded profoundly and said yes i am well aware that i have broken state's law but my desires exceed them and their laws,i have been watching for some time now and i personally want to take the time out to know you better even if it cost me my crown and life and regardless of what your responce is as the king it will not be held againts you,my word is my bond,she responded i am flattered and a bit confused your majesty what would a king from the royal family been doing with a little simpletons daughter as his wife,but an offer as this i cannot refuse. In time we started seeing each other more often,we would make adjustments to meet at designated places at certain hours not to be seen by anyone,our love and understanding grew for each other as this was the first time in so many years since the passing of my father that i actually smilled again,loved again,she was the only who could take my pain and mind away from such a vicious and voilent world filled with jealousy and greed and i will do whatever it takes to keep this forever. Time went by quickly where she told me she was a month's pregnant,i did not know how to react seeing that a king's child must be raised in the helm of his fathers royalty and splender,my right hand man knew all about this and he advised me that i must not speak of this for i will surely be executed,my elder brother Sai who was expected to be crowned the next king had a grudge againts me seeing that i was in his place,why father chose his youngest son to rule i cannot tell. Sai have been noticing thst i have been missing from a few power meetings,coming home late and acting weird so he had one of his soildiers to follow me around all day to see what clever stuff i was up too,while i was with her i knew i smelled a familiar scent from a far but i could not make it out nor could i react for i never told her of the devil that i am inside and i was afraid if she knew she would keep away for fear and safety,as i held her in the cold of the night gazing up at the night sky reminising on what we have done and wishing it was never a secret and that we could live freely by our own terms. I looked her in the eyes and kissed her good night while she walked home i steared then i went back to my palest,little did i know that the soildier had seen us and reported to my brother what he had witnessed,my big brother Sai waited at the door as i entered he replied what have you done,how could you tarnish our reputation to that level,by sleeping with the daughter of a simpleton i responded you are in no position to speak to your king in such manner i can have you executed,he said no brother i will have you executed and that hore of a wife. I grabbed him by the neck and yelled what do you know about love,have you ever loved anyone before apart from your self,yes i know i broke the rules but i rather to pay the price than live as a king been unhappy and living an illusion,suddenly the door openned and the members of the sanhedrin council walked in and said we are utterly disappointed in you,you have desecrated and disrespected all the laws of our predecessors,even my bearly beloved mother steared at me and replied she is ashamed to call me her son for what i have done is unforgivable. They took my crown,my power,my authority and locked me in a cell to await my judgement,but for a man that i am,i believed we have the right to love whomever we will,as long as its in the confined of love,for love covers a multitude of sin,love conquers all thing and she made me realise that in this life,its not about the wealth,nor your posessions,nor your capabilities but its all about been your brothers keeper,looking out for one another,showing love to all person whether rich or poor,bond nor free and whatever happens i will die without any regrets,than may be i will not be able to see my only child grow up,whether girl or boy to teach my precepts and have that child walk upright. So it was the day of my judgement,word went abroad of what took place and it was quite clear what the penalty was,in the end even my own family agreed that i be put to death with her as well,i begged them to spair her and took my life only for she had nothing to do with this,but my plea was ignored,i even explained that she was pregnant and they responded that this was the child of a bastard and deserves to die with the mother,my anger kingled but i had not the strength to break free and make a difference. The choice of death was hanging,as i steered in Medalia's eyes she replied with tears running down her eyes 'I love you and regardless of what happened you brought joy to my life dispite how brief it may have been'. They puled the rope and i could hear her fighting for air,i yelled and steared to the heavens when i beheld my savior shinning bright as an amarol in all its splender,immediately my eyes turned red,heart beat began to increase rapidly,nails begin to fall off like leaves in autumn,my body began to grow while i groaned like a beast,a tail emerged hair began to form over my body everyone in the room began to scream what is this i can't look,someone help. In all my anger i jumped and removed the rope from her neck and then i turned and i slaughtered everyone in the room,even my family and members of the sanhedrin council,a thick cloud passed by and covered the brightness of the moon,immediately i turned back to human form as i turned to see if she was alive she held me crying i was surprised to see her not been afraid of the monster that i was inside,but instead she loved me none the less,so i held her hand and headed for the exit trying to escape out if the city,while we were successful in doing so i beheld the main gate a few meters away and i said hurry lets go. The moment i stepped through the gate i felt relieved but i heard Medalia took a very deep breath when i turned to behold my eyes a dagger went through her heart,i held her close to my bussam saying no,no,no,no,no please don't die on me,just a littke bit longer with blood pooring from her chest and mouth she responded uis ok Mathias you have to go now,or they will kill you,one of us have to live,i looked to the city and yelled your days are numbered and i kissed my beloved so passionately like its the last time whie i felt the life left her body. Arrows were still been fired so i pulled her body to the side and placed my hand on her stomach remembering she said she was pregnant my soul was filled with wrath and revenge remembering how they took the two most important thing from me in such an instant,i placed her down and started to ran to the forest when an arrow caught my leg and injured me but i still managed to head for the forest and try to find away out,for these same woods were the one i roamed as a child so i know all the routes pretty well,i had escaped and live to fight another day but my heart and mind was in so much anguish and pain that i lost myself for a while. I roamed the earth as a sojourner looking for lost souls as i am,who have no more requirements for life but was empty and bitter as i was,for in my mind all that matters was revenge and i will never stop until i had it,in exchange for their loyalty i gave them power,to be able to see far,a sence of smell that was better than any animal,strength of a lion whenever fazed by the brink of a full moon,few months have passed and the villagers of  Gesher thought it was all peace and safety but suddenly came distruction,i ordered my men to kill and s*******r everyone in the village whether young or old,bond or free,rich or poor,no one was to be exempt,my heart was filled with anger and rage i no longer valued a life it felt as if my feelings went to sleep and cannot be awaken. Yes i know you mite be saying revenge is wrong and that you cannot kill the innocent,tell me this how would you feel if life was taken away from you right before your eyes,my baby was innocent,my wife was innocent and as long as you can bring them back this minute i will stop the onslaught,for what is a king without a queen,what is life without the life giver,what is light without the source of light,what is a head without a body and what is a church without a God...Think on these things. As the likens approached the village,my father once taught me that the greatest element is the element of surprise or battle strategy,but as for me i cared less about strategy my only goal is to wipe out Gesher by all means,dispite all my anger i had snuck into the village three days prior to this event and spake with all those who had no hand in my wife and babies death that they should evacuate the capital in three days time,for i am coming to harvest and anyone found within the streets will be killed,whether young or old. The capital of Gesher's population would be about three thousand and with an army of five hundred blood thirsty likens it should surely do the trick,while everyone opted to go through the main gate. I had one particular person in mind,the chanselor he was apart of the board meeting that handed down my judgement,while i entered his chamber it seems he heard the noise in the city and knew i was coming for him and he killed himself when i came into the chamber seeing him with the sword in his stomach i was wrath because i wanted to end his life myself,through my anger i transformed and i smelled his wife and kids in the closet i ripped the door off and i ripped them limb from limb until there nothing remained,i ran to the roof and called my remaining troops and ordered them to execute all stragglers they see i want this city purged and burned to the ground,wiped from the face of the earth. The battle was over and merely 30 soildier survived i looked around the area for my beloved of where they layed her,but my attempts were futile. As time progressed i opted not to turn anyone else,the few that remained died out and new cities were brought,i walked through unknown villages as a king without a kingdom,i heard folklors of how an evil king with the eyes of the devil who killed his entire coventry just for power,but if history recorded me wrong,what can i say i am a living legend. Seeing i had no more desire to live i tried numerous method to take my own life and all efforts were futile,i jump off a cliff into a river,i walked through flames,even stabbed myself and i could not die,so i returned to the ruins of Gesher to find a manuscript of that saucerer to better comprehend what was done to me,to my amaze it revealed the host will be given the ability to transformed at will into the great beast of the under world but most importantly been able to cheat death and this can only be broken by having true love,so i spent the next 1000 trying to find someone to love again and even after ten generations i could not find anyone. For as purposeful as i am,my heart is set for only one person,i was in anquish and dispair knowing that death will not grant me closure to leave this empty world so i can be with her on the other side,if death could just hold me with her cold hands of death and kiss me with her lips that sends you in a deep sleep for all eternity. I have lived to see the rise and fall of Babylon,Egypt and Mesopotamia interpreted as the cradle of civilisation and i am in the year 2020 walking among modern man after witnessing the era where we had primitive technology. But now they are advance with AI 'artificail intelligence' and computers,cars,planes,boat and even space ships but for all i have seen i really do not care for i am still an empty loss soul,but little did i know that whatever is for you nothing can take it away from you,as long as you keep believing and working that the best is yet to come,while i starred ahead i could not believe what i have seen before my eyes,for a man of all my experiences and long lived life i have never witnessed this before. I beheld a young lady spitting resemblance of Medalia and i am sure i saw that she died and even if she survived she would not live this long,there are only two explanations either she is a doppleganger or its her reincarnation for in fact i should be dead by now,but none the less i observed her a little longer i realised she was sniffing flowers,i approached and asked excuse me is that the agapanthus been interpreted 'Star of Bethlehem'  i remembered it was her favourite she responded yes it is. I introduced myself as she did also and said have we met before and i responded may be in a different time line as we walked off talking,hoping to rekindle that which was lost for centuries and to get a fresh start at love.
