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.

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.
