Book 1: Blood in the night
Chapter 3:
~Part 1: My Brother is stupid!
Lucy: What do you mean Lucien shot Mel?!
Lucy was in Quebec City, Canada at the Hunter Society’s Canadian base. Her cousin was watching her as walked back and forward. Maxim wanted to sit her down. Lucy was enraged right now and for good reason. Her sister Melanie was pregnant and Lucien apparently shot her. On the other end of the line was one of her other brother Michael Anxo, Medical Doctor.
Michael: Sam had told me the story. Apparently Lucien had found out that he was born a demon. You know how demons are around us. They’re territorial as heck anyways so he burst into Mel and Sam’s room. He raises up the gun and accuses Sam of using Mel. Sam’s trying to explain to him what’s going on but you know Lucien, he doesn’t listen. He shoots the gun off and Mel takes the hit. She’s not as fast as Lucy but fast enough to take it. Sam is flipping out at this point and Mel’s knocked out. Lucien’s freaking out thinking he killed her.
Lucy face palmed. Her phone was on speaker phone so Maxim could hear it.
Maxim: Then what happened?
Michael: Mel’s here now. She’s okay, the babies are okay. Lucien tried to visit but Sam had snapped at him.
Lucy: I can’t say I blame him. Plus what was he thinking?!
Michael: He was trying to keep his sister safe.
Both Claudia and Maxim looked at each other. Maxim’s eyes showed worried while Claudia’s showed anger.
“I have to go, I’ll update you all later.”
“Bye Michael.”
Claudia repeated the same thing as her brother. She placed her phone onto the table and looked at Maxim again.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Sam killed Lucien. Honestly that was stupid on his part! He could have died for all we know…plus I didn’t know that about Sam.”
“Sam has been acting strange as of late. I hope he’s okay though. Sounds like Mel is okay. Knowing her she shield herself when taking that. Plus what was she thinking?! She could have died!”
Lucy: You’re bitching about Mel…we’ll you’re right. But still I’m shocked she’d do that.
Maxim: She loves him that’s why.
Lucy nodded and Maxim opened the door for them both. Lucy walked out and her eyes screamed from the bright light. Lucy winced and Maxim couldn’t help but to chuckle. Lucy hit him in the ribs and Maxim let out a yelp.
Lucy: Asshole. My eyes are sensitive.
Maxim: Sorry, sorry but that was funny!
Lucy rolled her eyes.
Lucy: I don’t want to be here. Honestly Quebec is the last place I want to be.
Maxim: Stefan?
Lucy nodded. Just right now her “relationship” with Stefan Lajoie, one of the most famous wrestler from where the base would take place at was rocky. Lucy knew he was a sex addict and he was gunning for her but she didn’t want that. She wanted a real relationship when she was ready.
Lucy: Fucking Zeus! He’s lucky I don’t rip his balls off!
Maxim: Okay Lucy, calm the hell down. I don’t need you to lose control.
It was true. If Lucy got upset to a certain degree she would lose control of her abilities. Lucy sighed and nodded.
Lucy: Fine. Anyways what are we doing here?
Maxim: Rumors circle that Alexander is here.
Lucy heard that and her eyes turn wide. Alexander Rosangela wasn’t someone to mess around with and he was the Father to the Rosangela twins.
Lucy: Why?
Maxim: Trying to find another magi-blood body for necromancy.
Necromancy, a forbidden magick to perform. Claudia and the other dark magick casters could do this but against it is outlawed. Necromancy, the magick of dead…the abilities to control the dead and bring them back to graze the iceberg of it.
Lucy: Who would he try to bring back? No other magi-blood are buried up here. They’re normally buried where powers come from.
Maxim: You know I would doubt him trying to bring a mortal back.
Lucy: Yeah…you could be right on that. We need to help the older Athena and get him back to his own line.
Maxim: Athena had said if and when this happens, it’ll effect the magi-blood timeline. Hopefully fixing it.
Lucy and Maxim had walked away from the manor and towards the parking lot. Maxim’s car was waiting for the two.
Lucy: Too many lives have been killed in our war. I’m worried how many more before it ends cousin?
Maxim shrugged.
Maxim: I…I don’t have the answers to that cousin. I wish I could tell you but I don’t. As long as the other six demons are roaming more will die for the cause. I thought after we took the one down out of Uncle Anisim it would have been done with. I guess we were all wrong.
Lucy I’m sorry Max…I wish I was stronger.
Maxim: Don’t be. You’re fine the way you are Luce. We’ll make it through all of this come hell or high water.
Lucy: People don’t trust us.
Maxim: Fuck them! If they can’t then they’re stupid. So we’re heading out towards the main city. Remember try to blend in as best as we can. No abilities in public that’ll cause attention. Kinda treat this like the Masquerade will you?
Lucy looked at him like she was going to stab him.
Lucy: You lecturing me on hunts? I’m not stupid and far from it.
Maxim: I apologize for that. Wait here I’ll get the car okay?
Lucy nodded and watched her cousin run off.
~Part 2: Research~
Long ago in the dawn of time the first born became. The first born was known as Chaos and Cosmos, the God of discord and the Goddess of harmony. They made the heavens and the planets and everything we know in space. But one day that all changed when they decided to create just more than that. They created what the rest of the humans would know as the mythologies.
At first the Norse, the Romans and the Greeks were created. Then the Egyptians, Slavic, Baltic, Finnish were next to be “born”. The rest followed a few days later and that made the first born happy. In total the world would know of twenty-six mythologies in total. The Earth would worship them in their own ways.
One day though crisis broke out in the different mythology worlds…
The end of days, Ragnarok, the cycle of rebirth was among them. It was the first in many cycles that this would happen. The Gods knew of their enemy named “Corruption”.
Corruption was born from the sins of the humans. It was a side effect of everything evil in the worlds and without evil, we could never have good. But corruption would end up taking over one of their own; it would cause a war which would end up killing the Gods. But the first born had a plan.
Their plan was to incarnate part of their essences into human bodies once the war was over. Knowing that it would take a while for their God forms to regenerate, this would keep the balance of the universe at stability. Cosmos-Chaos knew that it would change the colour of the human’s blood into one of ten different colours. The rest of them agreed that this would be the best for them.
After Chaos-Cosmos sacrificed themselves and the rest of the creator Gods were dead the war was over. In that night it was like stars were falling from the skies but it was their essence. With that this is the story of the first time the Magi-Bloods came to be in the world.
Lucy: You sure that’s how the book goes?
Anisim: Yes well at least for us Slavic. Remember each of us has a book and they all have details that the others are missing.
Lucy sighed an nodded.
Lucy: You’re not making this easy on me.
Anisim: Of course not.
The Father, Daughter team smile at each other.
Anisim: How are you?
Lucy: Lack of blood but okay.
Anisim: You should feed Lucy.
Lucy didn’t need to hear this, not now at least. Lucy was currently down in the grand library trying to do some research.
Lucy: I’m fine!
Anisim: I can tell you’re not.
Lucy: We can debate this later. Right now I need to focus on this. Anyways why are you here? You offered the info yes but you have alternative motives.
Anisim: I wanted to see my children; is that so wrong?
Lucy shook her head no and smiled.
“ Magi-blood, the essences of the Gods incarnated in their descendants. A power that can either be salvation or destruction at use by the person. In total there are ten colors: red, blue, green, yellow, purple, white, black, gold, silver and rainbow. Some magi-blood holders are purer and some are mix. But what sets the rainbow color apart from the rest is, it's the the rarest one of them all. Only about one-hundred of them are left in the world...or at least that's what my mother, Melanie told me.
Mutation, when the powers of a magi-blood tries to compensate from injuries or a change from a supernatural creature like vampires. Once this happens the DNA in the holder is changed for good. My Uncle Michael has spent his life trying to find a cure for mutations and, even magi-blood itself!
The waves of war, when the magi-blood are at war with a great evil. Two out comes can happen out of this. Either the magi-bloods win, but at a cost or the great evil enslave the world. For the longest of time my Mother would wonder if there was another way to win, if the loss of the victory could be saved.
And the gate of the realms. The final stand for each of the waves. Here the magi-blood can travel to where their deities lives. Here if the great evil gets to any of the spears, bad things happen.
My family and their friends are heroes. Their stories still are told thought the Earth and the different realms.”
Both Anisim and Lucy look over to see the older Athena walking into the room.
Anisim: I heard the stories the time traveler but I guess they were true.
Athena (older): Hello Anisim. Aunt Lucy if that means anything to you, I hope I helped.
Luckily Lucy had wrote that all down.
Lucy: It could help. Thank you Athena.
Athena nodded and smiled at the two.
Anisim: Yes thank you Athena, it means a ton that you’re willing to help us.
Athena: Of course…Aunt Lucy are you okay? You look paler than normal.
Lucy’s vision blurred out and the vampire magi-blood passed out. Quickly her Father caught her in his arms.
Anisim: Go get Claude and Michael, I’ll take her to her room!
~Part 3: Let’s go ~
Lucy: In Greek mythology, a phoenix is a long-lived bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again.
Associated with the Sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. According to some sources, the phoenix dies in a show of flames and combustion, although there are other sources that claim that the legendary bird dies and simply decomposes before being born again. There are different traditions concerning the lifespan of the phoenix, but by most accounts the phoenix lived for 500 years before rebirth. Herodotus, Lucan, Pliny the Elder, Pope Clement I, Lactantius, Ovid, and Isidore of Seville are among those who have contributed to the retelling and transmission of the phoenix motif.
In the historical record, the phoenix, could symbolize renewal in general as well as the sun, time, the Empire, metempsychosis, consecration, resurrection, life in the heavenly Paradise, Christ, Mary, virginity, the exceptional man, and certain aspects of Christian life.
When you think of Kira Phoenix, you think of someone who is rising from the flames and burning bright. She might be but when it comes to me, you know that I am someone who is important here in SCW. I have learned plenty about him. This is still an advantage to some extent but it does also mean that she has learned plenty about me but I ask you, Kira - is that enough?
Your tenacity and determination is what has lead you to this point. It's because of that fight in you that you were able to reach this point. You automatically made a name for yourself and set yourself up for so much more. That's how you made an immediate impact in SCW and why you're about to challenge for one of the most prestigious Bombshells in the company. You've achieved what so few have been able to do in this business so I honestly couldn't be prouder of you for it. I have no problem in saying with confidence that you will come close but at the same time, I know that it's not going to be enough.
Kira, I do respect you and I have to remain amicable with you for that reason. I have nothing but admiration for your talents but it is far too early in your career to become a World Champion so until you gain further experience, you won't be able to achieve what you want nor take me down. It just isn't going to happen.
I know that this is going to be a challenge and one that will give me a reason to keep fighting. I can't become too arrogant here or complacent. I like to believe that we're two of the best but now is my time to show the world why I am far superior to you. I don't like wording it that way but it's true. It just means that I am confident and ready to participate in the match of my life on the show of the year. So let's just head to the ring and steal the show, yeah? We're both more than capable so let's do just that, Kira. Do we have a deal? I sure hope so because when I walk away with the victory in this, I want you to still be proud of what you've achieved, which was taking Lucy Seraphina to the limit. That's all you'll be able to take away from this week but I sincerely hope that you're able to live up to your promises and the high standards that I always set.
I have rarely faltered and honestly, I don't intend on letting it all slide now. With with all of the hard work I've put in. I refuse. So while there is a chance you could indeed dethrone me here, I'm not confident of that and regardless, I want to just thrive by participating in the greatest match possible. I will be giving this my absolute all.
I will see you out there, Kira. Between us, we'll do an amazing job and we'll show the world what we're capable of and why we are the two greatest athletes that the SC have to offer right now. I will show the world why I'm the face of Climax Controll! and why I will continue to be upon leaving the greatest and most prestigious show of the entire year. That's what we're capable of and Kira, I expect a lot from you. You are rarely one to disappoint and I do appreciate that about you. I can't say that I have that much admiration for anybody else on the roster, other than a select few. So this is a big deal and I am genuinely excited to share the ring with you as an opponent as opposed to a partner. It will be a change, that's for sure but one that I embrace. I am ready for this and I am excited about the prospect of stealing the show. Let's do precisely that, Kira. I trust you.
Fade to black…
