"Huh?" Uttered Jason in utter confusion.(The f.u.c.k is going on here! Where am I? Why is this old pedophile looking creep staring at me like that? What did he mean when he said he was my ancestor? Why is he wearing armour? Will I look like that in the future? Hope not. )
Jason had a million questions on his mind some thoughts that were frankly rather insulting and if his ancestor truly had the ability to read minds he probably would have instantly punched Jason in the face for his insolence.
" Calm child let me explain everything to you slowly" The man waved his hand as he finished his sentence and lights bloomed in the air
"My name is Siegfried Sacer! The first of the blood race! The progenitor of this apex species and your great ancestor Jason" Siegfried"s voice boomed in the void shocking Jason senseless.
Without waiting for Jason to recover Siegfried quickly leaped into his speech.
"In the beginning, there was simply man and woman we worshipped G.o.ds as we thought we should until one day there was a great war of G.o.ds the sky shattered and the earth tore the mortals suffered terribly" Siegfried lapsed for a moment as he thought back to the days of powerlessness he had experienced.
"It was the apocalypse! G.o.ds punishment of mortals for not being pious enough. That was what we thought as powerless mortals. Until one day a piece of pure divinity dropped down into the lands of mortals due to the fighting of the G.o.ds. It was a drop of blood from the G.o.ds themselves pooled together from the battlefield which had been flooded with divine ichor. It was a melange of divinity! An elixir of natural creation and the only one of its kind. Through its consumption Vampires were born. When I consumed this elixir and found out its miraculous effects I quickly shared it with my Two best friends so that we could all grow strong together. But we had no idea the price we would pay for such amazing power that the elixir had given us. For there must be balance. As much as the elixir was a blessing it also later proved to be a curse! We revelled in our new strength ignorant of the ramification of having consumed divinity. We only realized it when it was too late. We discovered an insatiable desire for blood when one of our fellow villagers cut their hand on a knife. That was all that was needed to set our new vampiric senses ablaze. The three of us quickly had our senses taken over and gave in to the bloodl.u.s.t as we recklessly fed on our village. We only came to once we had drained every drop of blood there was in the village. We awakened to a razed village with death and destruction abundant. We only truly knew how much the elixir had altered us after this horrifying experience." Siegfried closed his eyes in pain of the memories even millennia later.
"We spent the next hundred years exploring the very limits of your power and immortality. Developing new and powerful uses of your ability, we ruled mankind as kings! As G.o.ds! Immortal everlasting and all-powerful. But all things must come to an end eventually decades later we grew tired of acting as kings we grew tired of the incessant backstabbing of humans. So we left we backed away from humans allowing them to grow and prosper. So we wandered for years after we left the human. We travelled with only the 3 of us as companions watching all the people we met and cherished die of old age as we were eternally frozen in our peak state."
"That sounds terrible" Jason was shaken by all the information he had just been dumped on top of him.
"Yes for a period of time we wallowed in self-pity at the thought of being immortal for decades alone with only each other for company. It was only when one us discovered our ability to turn others into one us did we start to really start to feel again." Siegfrieds face glowing in joy at the thought.
"All we had to do was allow someone to consume our blood and for them to die afterwards and they will be turned immortal like us. Stronger, faster and with fantastical abilities. they were the first generation of vampires and they were powerful beyond belief. Unlike us, though they had several weaknesses which we did not have. Such as the inability to be in the sun and weakness to fire. Of course, while we say weakness it more of a mild inconvenience. Those of our direct bloodline with simply feel a burning sensation when in the sun for a long period of time. But of course, as our bloodline got more and more diluted the 2nd generation of vampires were weaker to the sun until the 4th generation and simply being in the sun was enough to cause their death. So daylight rings were created but you already know that as you are wearing one right this second." Siegfried gestures to the ring that was on Jason"s finger.
Jason raises his hand examining the ring again.
"You mean this ring right here the one I have on" He points to the ring for clarification.
"Yes, that exact ring. Of course, even if you did not have it on at most the sun would be a mild inconvenience at most. You may feel burning with strong sunlight but at most you might get something akin to a sunburn as mortals would call it. But the ring is useful in disguising your lineage." Siegfried nods deep in thought.
"Okay well grandpa what are you doing in my mind," Jason questioned.
"Well I am here cause I am wondering how the f.u.c.k do you exist boy" Siegfried glared at Jason with laser-like focus
Jason instantly took the statement as an insult " The f.u.c.k do you mean old man! Just because I played along and called you Grandpa doesn"t mean you can say whatever the f.u.c.k you want."
" I didn"t mean that as an insult. I meant it as an honest question ever since I first drank the elixir of blood I have never been able to sire my own vampires. My bloodline overwhelms most mortals and burns their body inside out and ends up destroying them but as you awakened I sensed something tug at my bloodline so I sent my soul out to find out what was going on and I ended up inside your mind and here we are having a nice little chat. So I was wondering how you could have been of my bloodline if I didn"t give you my blood nor do I have other sirelings that could have sired you." Siegfried c.o.c.ked his head to the side in confusion.
"But there is no doubt you are one of mine otherwise I wouldn"t be able to track you through your bloodline. Hm weird" He was still deep in contemplation almost as if he was speaking to him.
Siegfried"s eyes flashed wide as if he suddenly had a great thought and he lunged towards Jason and grabbing him by the scruff of the collar. Jason seeing this aggressive action quickly b.a.l.l.s up his fists and launches a quick strike at Siegfried who was holding on his shirt. Jasons" fist is grabbed easily and with a twist of his hand Jasons hand is broken from the wrist with his bones sticking out at an unnatural angle.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Jason screams out in pain.
Siegfried stares into Jasons" eyes as he works his vampiric magic to compel Jason to look at him.
"Look at me" Siegfried commanded.
Jason looks deep into his eyes disregarding the fact that his wrist was broken.
"Now tell me the truth. How did you turn into a vampire and how are you of my bloodline" Siegfried urges his powers further as he can feel Jason struggling against his will. But Jasons new vampiric powers had no way to compete against Siegfried who had been alive for millenia and he quickly recounted the events that led to him being accidentally changed into a vampire but he could tell Siegfried nothing of how he could be of his bloodline as he simply had no idea/
"Hehe" Siegfried chuckled at the absurdity of the situation of how a mortal can accidentally turn like that. What a freakish turn of events but with this Siegfrieds suspicions of some conspiracy was lessened as no enemy of his would be foolish enough to tell him a story so ridiculous as a cover story. But he was still perplexed with the idea of how he could have a connection to this boy in front of him. But either way he quickly released Jason from his spell as he retrieved his magic.
Jason slowly came to his senses again as he remembered what the weird man had done to him just now. So he quickly leapt at Siegfried in anger and tried to punch him only to forget that his wrist was broken and only managed to hurt his wrist further when Siegfried dodged his punch and he hit the ground.
