stone

It was a dark night. Rain smashed against the window shutters, thunder and lightning added to the mood. It was hot, the infernal flames under the cauldron gave an unnatural heat. The last ingredient was added. The eerie sound of the whistling of the wind sounded through the dark damp dungeon. The last sentence of a dark invocation and I was. A roar of pain and anger floated out but the boiling substance flowing in cut offthe scream. Panicked thrashing tipped over the cauldron and gasping for air I laid on the floor. A strange feeling in my shoulder blades where my massive wings sprout out of my shoulder blades. I stretch out the wings as I slowly crawl upright. A man of great beauty looks down at me smiling. He is evil I can sense it in his being. He only looks, a big smile on his face. The question spinning in my head passes my lips.

“Who am I?”

A voice from behind me booms its sound terrifying but also sweet as silk answers in an almost amused way.

“You my servant are stone stalker. I am your master Beezlebub lord of (f)lies. You will do as I say. The man in front of you is a vampire of the baali bloodline. He will teach you what you have to know about vampirism. I will return in 50 years to collect you.”

Turning around towards the voice all I see is the flash of fire disappearing. Years passed and I was taught the art of fear the way to become terra and the ability to use massive strength. Next to this I learned I was a vampire of the brood called Gargoyle. But unlike my brethren I was an outcast, as I did not serve under the inventors of the rite of creation. Years past and I became a skilled and brutal hunter knowing a
surviving prey would be able to cause my downfall. The 50 years past but still I had no idea who I was. The night came and as I arose a daemonic entity appeared in front of me. It reached out and I stepped back from the hideous form. It growled and grabbed me tightly around my throat. Pain filled my body and I felt my rocklike skin harden.

“My servant you disappoint me, fear is a weakness and you will be punished. From now on your skin will be made of marble and your appearance will cause terror in even the most courageous heart.”

Pain engulfed me and I almost passed out. I learned not to scream when in pain and the only sound heard was a low growl as anger rose inside me. Even before the Baali awakened for the night the daemon took me away through his portal. The 83 years following where horrible even to my standards but on every cruel thing I adapted. I started as protector of the daemons physical heaven as it seemed a mage managed to summon him and trapped him in this plane. He gave me the ability to see all that is supernaturally hidden and the ability to see in complete darkness, both things a guardian needed. 25 years passed and my master grew impatient, as the attack he expected did not come. I was sent out to find the mage and bring the head to my master. I set out and searched for the mage the trail leading to Montreal. There my eye fell on the most beautiful entity I ever saw. Her movements where gracious and the way she hid herself exceptional. My undead heart immediately belonged to her but knowing my appearance decided not to approach her. Also I had a task which I had to fulfil. It took me 2 years to find the mage and the wards protecting him where strong. Every night I checked on the mage who in his arrogance did not renew the wards. 25 years it took until the ward was broken down enough to let me pass. I checked every night and after that I left to stalk the lady. I found out she was a vampire but also different than my teacher and me. During these years I learned that she was the leader of a family called the devalki’s and she and her sister where like one being. Eves was the name of her and the sister was called sweet. I only watched never interfered. Then the day the wards broke down came and using my ability to move through stone I entered the hidden library of the mage. I think he never knew what hit him as my massive arm came out of the ceiling and my massive hand crushed his neck until his head fell off. Using the rite my master taught me I summoned him and presented him the head. As he was free again he granted me my freedom all I had to do was give him half my soul. Knowing freedom meant I could follow my beloved
whenever I pleased. I agreed and laughing my master left. For 30 years I followed eves usually slaying those males who she flirted with.

Then on a dark night she set out alone without her sister to do what she always did, running her errands. I saw them coming but she obviously was not on her guard. 4 vampires jumped her as they dropped their supernatural ability to hide themselves. The 4 easily floored her and looking down I saw them feed from her in a violent manner. I hesitated but realised if I did not act I would loose her. I jumped down and the first of the 4 didn’t even see me coming as my tail smashed his head to a bloody heap. Still using the advantage of surprise two of the still drinking vampires were dead by me crushing their skulls onto the pavement. The last using supernatural speed dodged my attacks and used his ability to hide. Relying on his invisibility he circled me as I acted as if I didn’t see him. In his arrogance he swung at my head but I countered his attack with my tail.
With a surprised look on his face and a tail out of his back he dropped out of his invisibility and sank to the ground. Using my persuasive ways and power of fear I found out they were hired by a Brujah who liked to own the Dark tower the home of the Devalki’s. I killed the vampire which I later found out were called Assimites. And took eves to her home. Mortal servants fled in terror and the immortals wanted to attack in the first case but hesitated, as I was carrying Eves. I placed eves in her room much to the surprise of the residents. Sweet was the first to approach me and I told her the happenings in short saying I would return the next night. And so I did and with me I brought the head of the Brujah hiring the assassins. I asked her to marry me in return for saving her life too that night and to my surprise she agreed. Now we are one being sharing one soul and both our powers as we wedded under infernal contract and were spirit linked.

Now as the link is complete Eves and Sweet decided to venture out so beware if you see Eves I could be close.
