I landed in Europe three weeks later, without anyone ever finding out I was on board. While I was on the ship, I didn’t get much to eat, only a few rats and that was a last stich effort just so that I didn’t kill one of the crew. I must have looked like the walking dead because one night, just before landing, a crewman stumbled upon me while...

Suma’s POV
“SUMA!” I jerked awake and saw Nine standing over me. “Finally, you sleep deeply, don’t you? It’s time to wake up for training.”
“Already?” I asked confused and in a bit of a haze. I stood and exited my roost, stretching my wings wide.
“Did you not sleep well then, I take it?” N...

“Sir… are you okay?” A store employee wondered. Suddenly, I forgot what was so funny, and who I was talking to.”
"Uh… yeah… I-I’m fine. Excuse me.” I said with my head filled with fog. I left the store, and the bread behind, then went out and sat in my car with the door open. “Suma… Suma something’s- somethings not…...

“UHG!” Alexander groaned as the wind was knocked out of him. It was dark, but upon seeing his attacker he realized who had hit him; it was the headless body of the man he had just killed. The headless man was on top of Alexander, trying to pin him, but Alexander was able to throw him off. Alexander grabbed the man’s arms, and planted his f...

We were guided out and led to the cafeteria to have lunch before going back to school. “It seems you do have a name, Marcel.” A voice from behind me in one of the waiting lines said. It was that old man from outside.
“You? Did… did you follow me inside?” I asked concerned.
“No, I work here.” He explained.

I woke up naked and starving in a dark room, I could still see as clear as day though. I was covered in a white sheet and had fresh cuts in a Y shape along my chest. My teeth ached as well. With my tongue, I checked them and found one of my fangs missing. I wasn’t worried about losing a tooth because I knew from the time Genghis Khan punched m...

“H-how… are you… doing that?”
“With my hand.” He retorted. I chuckled, but wasn’t quite sure if it was from the joke or shock. The man looked about ninety years old, had short, thin, white hair, wore a tan suit, and walked with a black cane.

I washed my hands and swept the place up, all after carefully and swiftly removing the hearts of all of my other victims just to be safe. Thankfully the had already had autopsies done, so no one would notice a missing heart or two… or five. I left the room rather startled and shaken by what had just occurred, and I couldn’t help but wonder i...

“I wish you all safety, luck, and most importantly… success.” The Major ended his speech, and the first of the four captains began calling out names. Suma and I were in the third squad, which was led by Captain Gigolos, and Second-Lieutenant Datahu.
Second-Lieutenant Datahu flew up to me after the Major’s speech. “Sentinel, it’...

I stayed the rest of the night at my home, doing laundry and allowing my wound to heal. It was fully closed by the time the sun rose with only a slight throbbing and tenderness. I went over to my mirror and checked my reflection; yes I actually have one, the myths are wrong on that too. After eating so many people lately, between the murderer to...

Alexander limped into town, sick from the heat and lack of food. He would have died again, if a kind stranger had not found him on the road, placed him into their wagon, given him food, and taken him to town. “So much for hunting and fishing,” the voice of Warden said to Alexander. He looked around, and saw the skeleton leaning on a town wel...

That was centuries ago, back when I had just changed. I spent the next five or six hundred years giving into my bloodlust as I wished. I earned many names over the years, Vlad the Impaler for instance, it was the one I had when I realized just how far I had fallen, and what kind of monster I had become. I faked my death and left the nation I had...

“Talk to you soon partner.” The voice of Warden said. Alexander was left standing among the burned and disgraced bodies of his slain brethren.

The main office was huge, as large at the Royal Citadel or the Grand Sanctum back in Suma’s city, Zach-Ahshem. It was shaped different, but it has similar features, like the holes that Neame would fly through, large spires, and guards surrounding it. It’s differences however, were what told the real story ...

Two days after Suma and I had left camp, and she was on her way to meet the Drakes in the fortified city of Antonella. I laid in bed waiting to fall asleep. I thought about how the test ended, still guilt ridden over accidentally hurting those Neame. Slowly, my eyes grew heavy, and I fell into a deep sleep. I ...

“Jericho!” I said and summoned my armor. Speed is good, not getting hit in the back by a spell I didn’t see coming is better. Running to the crest wouldn’t take long, despite how far away it was. All I needed to do was not get shot in the back, or front, on the way there. The other Neame were too far a...

“Dodge!” Lauric yelled. I launched myself upwards, cutting off the spell, as one of the mage’s attacks blew the vines I was perched on to splinters. “Lady Suma, you must-“ Lauric was interrupted by an attack aimed at the crest. Once again, he blocked it, but the rock columns were still severely fract...

It was only a single mage who arrived, but it was soon clear why. Without a word, he launched three attacks, Lauric intercepted two of them with his magic, but the third hit the column directly. Fire spells, powerful ones; he was an attack mage. “Lady Suma,” Lauric called out without looking away from the ...
