The Last Embrace Chapter 392
Advertisement
Roden, the leader of the remaining savage vampire clan was playing with his ten years old son and eleven years old daughter in his bedchamber, which was situated inside the cave. The cave was hidden under the mountain surrounded by dense vegetation and towering trees. The opening of the cave is hard to spot by a naked eye since everywhere you look in that area... you can only see mountains and trees, nothing was out of the ordinary. The mouth of the cave was protected by a magical spell that Roden created a long time ago. About more than five hundred savage vampires are hiding inside taking refuge by its safety walls.
The invisible barrier of the cave's entrance can only be accessed by someone knowledgeable when it comes to the black magic incantation, and it only runs in their family.
Only two people are capable of breaking the barrier exposing the cave inside and all of its vulnerable inhabitants, he and his brother, Jagu aka Jagger.
Inside the cave, the savage vampires were living peacefully, they are well fed and safe under Roden's leadership.
No one wants to venture outside, because the outside world was already deemed dangerous by the entire vampire race.
Roden has made an oath to his father to protect the remaining savage vampires, and he also made an oath to his dying mother to not seek revenge and live his life in peace. Unfortunately, his younger brother did not share the same views, if he wanted peace, Jagu craves revenge.
It's been a while, he had no news about his brother, if he was still alive until now...only time can tell.
There are many times that he wanted to go out and look for his brother. He remembered it so well, it just happened one day, Jagger vanished together with a handful of his men who also share the same vision of revenge...he knew where they are going...they are planning to attack the Facility where the King and Queen of vampires resides and went to hiding.

Ever since his brother and his loyal follower vanished on that day, he no longer has any news about what happened to them, he was already thinking of the worst-case scenario for their reckless and stupid act, expecting that his brother was already killed during the attack to the Facility.
He was blaming himself for not doing his best to prevent his brother from seeking revenge, but he knows deep inside, nothing he can do can stop his brother from leaving their hideout.
While his children were playing in the ground, his eyes stared at the wall of the cave...as if he was looking past beyond mountains trying to find the image of his brother.
While he was in that estate of thinking...
A black smoke suddenly materializes inside the chamber and was now forming into a human shape and was seen by the terrified children.
"Fatherrrrr! Help!"
"Monster!"
The children yelped in fright and shocked, running to their father for cover.
Roden's eyes were now fixed on the intruder, his hands moved and drawing black smoke coming out of his hands...ready to kill the enemy who barged into their private place.
The smoke finally reveals a smiling Jagger appearing in front of them, holding a bottle in the right hand and the bundle in the left hand.
"Uncleeeeee!" the children screamed in glee and run towards their absentee uncle.
Jagger put down the bundle in the ground and placed the bottle in the table made of wood. "Hello kids, uncle, greatly misses you kiddo's!" he scooped the squealing children in his arms. "Jeez...you guys are so heavy!" he complained.
After a while, he puts them down.
Roden was stupefied, he stared at his younger brother in shock for a long time, the brother that he thought had already died has now come back to him...alive!

"J-Jagu!" Roden can only manage to say one word.
The two brothers stared at each other's faces for a few seconds.
Feeling extremely happy after seeing his brother again, Jagger sprinted towards his brother and they embraced each other tightly. "I miss you so much, bro! I'm sorry I'm being hardheaded before. I should have not left at all. I regretted seeking revenge..." he broke down and sobbed on his brother's shoulder.
Roden rubbed his younger brother's back. Based on his brother's confession, he can only guess that he encounters a devastating situation and probably lost all his men in the battle. "T-they died?"
Jagger nodded his head. "Yes, all of them, because of me!" his voice was shaking in guilt and remorse. "I'm so sorry brother...I'm so sorry that I failed to protect them and I hated myself that I left our hideout and I brainwashed my men to follow me and promising them of successful revenge but in the end, I brought them all to slaughter..."
Roden choked back the lump on his throat. "Calm down, brother, I already forgiven you. Let's start all over again...this time you will listen to me, okay?"
Jagger nodded his head. "I promised you, brother, I will never leave your side again. I will not venture into the outside world ever again," he said and wiped the tears from his eyes and face.
Then their attention was drawn to the laughter of the children staring at the bottle.
Jagger stared in horror at his niece and nephew holding the bottle. "Noooooo! Don't touch that bottle!"
The children didn't listen thinking that the bottle was a toy.
The girl tried to open the bottle but failed and soon the boy attempted to open the lid and failed as well...they were about to smash the bottle into the ground... Jagger quickly snatched the bottle from the children's grasp.
"Kids, this bottle is not a toy!" he chastised them mildly.
"But we saw a genie inside the bottle, Uncle! We want to play with her!" they said in unison, their faces look disappointed.
Jumping up and down, the kids were trying to reach the bottle again, Jagger extended his right hand up higher than his head.
"Kids. Go outside find your mother. Your uncle and I will have a serious talk. Go!" Roden shooed his children out of the chamber, they obeyed his command right away.
Roden stared at the bottle and spotted a human form lying inside the bottle, he snatched the bottle from his brother and look at the unconscious shape of a woman..."Jagger, who is this woman you imprisoned inside the bottle!?" he glared at his brother.
Jagger grinned. "That is the woman I'm going to marry, brother! She is going to become my wife soon! But first, I need your help....she doesn't like me...she loves someone else..." he explained sadly.

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
