I was going through a dark alley that led to my abode. I was halfway through the alley and my life would change forever.
Out of nowhere a dark form appeared. The air became frigid. The wind stood still. As I walked pass it, I heard the whispered words "Come here my child, whats ails thy soul?"
I replied,"My bones grows frail, my body weakens, and the thought of death troubles me."
"Fear no more, mortal one, for I am here to help thee."
"Who are you? And how are you able to keep Death from coming to me?"
"I am the Spirit of Darkness.The Lord of Immortalness. I can make all your troubles disappear."
"How?" I asked.
"Just look into my eyes , and take a drink of this potion".
I glanced at his face. His features were hard, his eyes glowing a crimson red. I felt my body start trembling. I felt a fear like I have never felt before.
"Fear not my child, for I am here to help thee. Take this vial and drink. Look into my eyes, for the eyes are the windows to the soul."
I reached out and took the vial. It was warm. I looked into his eyes.As I drank the potion my body grew very hot.
" Whatever you do, do not look away from my eyes." He said.
My eyesight was growing very dim. It felt as if my body was being twisted into a million different knots. Then just as quickly as the feelings came , they were gone. My eyes adjusted and I was looking into the eyes of a beautiful woman. Her lips were a wine red. I had this urge to kiss her. An urge I could not resist. She leaned into me and whispered in my ear, " Welcome to the Land of Immortals". With those final words I felt a pinch on my neck.
A calm came over me . It was as if I had dropped all my burdens, my sorrows, my fears. I HAD BECOME IMMORTAL! When i came to my senses, I was lying on the ground. I jumped up and looked around. Was I dreaming, did any of this really happen? I started to leave, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw the Dark One, standing by the wall. I asked "What happened, what has happened to me? I feel so...so young."
He replied " I opened the window, and took your soul.
With that he faded into the darkness.
"Wait, wait-come back!" I yelled.
The winds began to blow. The rains poured.
"How will I know what to do?" I asked.
And from the pouring rain, it was as if the winds whispered to me, "Fear not my dark child, for I will be with you forever."
I had this strong craving for more of the liquid which I had just drank. I had to have more. I decided then to go and search. Search for the blood I longed for. The Immortal Society had been born.
