Thread: Two Lovers, Two Kingdoms (MasterOfWhispers and WhiteRose)

Sounds of screams can be heard as Malek finished feasting on the blood of his human enemy. His eyes flashed crimson as the vampiric soldier heard a call of retreat from his commanding officer. Fall Back! Bellowed Captain Shapiro. Malek was rather confused at the turn of events. For a second it looked like the Moonlight Kingdom's army would be gaining ground and finally retake the entire Methuselah Mine. He wondered why they were retreating. His answer was soon followed up by the appearance of arrows reigning hell upon the a regiment of his fellow soldiers. Many of whom were blood suckers just like himself. Many of them were also killed instantly shot in the heart with dead on accuracy. Such precise hits meant one thing. The enemy was receiving reinforcements from Elven Archers. A groan fell from Maleks lips as he was forced along with the others to retreat into the caves they came from. Upon entering the cave, Captain Shapiro gave his orders. We have explosives do we not? Seal it now. We can't let the enemy gain our half of the mine! But Captain!?! Malek protested Some of our men our still out there! We have no Choice Vice-Captain! We'd be handing the enemy our Kingdom if he let them gain full control of these caves and tunnels. Malek sighed as he ordered his demolition experts to prepare their explosives. He was watching as several more soldiers scour in the Moonlight kingdom's half of the Methuselah mines. While everything appeared to be set for the explosives to go off there was one problem. Vice Captain, Dak was killed before he could prepare the last explosive! What? Malek replied his voice slightly panicked. The last explosive expert came to him, a Gargoyle with eyes just as fearful. We need to set the explosive manually! We weren't able to inscribe runes on them Taking one last look a the retreating men. Malek nodded at the explosive expert. Fine I'll do it manually, Zak. Zak was about to protest before Malek silenced him. Your family already lost one son, it wouldn't do to have them lose two. Zak remained silent before he nodded his head and went on to join the others. For twelve thousand years the Moonlight Kingdom has been at war with the Dawn Kingdom. A war started because of an ongoing feud between the god and goddess Lune and Sola. Malek thought that this entire Holy War was utter rubbish and pointless. However, out of the love of his country and his vampire clan he enlisted anyway to save as many lives as he can. Thus it was no suprise when he decided to sacrifice himself. As he went to light the fuse his lasts thoughts were of how many lives he has just saved because of his last act. The armored tall, and dark haired man smiled as the lit fuse began sparking towards the barrel. Little did he know, he would survive this encounter and he would encounter a destiny greater then his own. The bomb went off and the last thing Malek saw was a flash of light and the rumbling of several rocks. The feeling of tumbling further into the depths of mines also overtook him. Hours passed by as Malek woke up finding to his own surprise that he was still alive and only barely injured. Breathing slowly he removed a short rod with a crystal on top of it from his belt. He muttered the phrase Light. The crystal glowed and soon area around him glowed a brilliant shade of blue light. He walked forward wondering where he was, and how he could be alive. It was only five minutes before his sensitive ears head something in the dark. Pulling out his holstered blade Malek called Who's there?
