《Grand Adventure》Grand Adventure - Prologue
Advertisement
In a deep dark forest lies a luxurious mansion. For a normal person it would seem arkward to encounter such a lavish building in a desolate area like this.
The Big mansion is fenced whit sturdy steelbars that are all engraved with beautiful decorations. The House is imposing with it's victorian style that would make anyone on earth be impressed by it's owner, still with all it's glory the gate of the villa looks dark and gloomy like a abandoned haunted house, uninviting and evil.
The Paved way leads to stair steps on to the heavy wooden double doors with rustic carvings, the frontyard is overgrown with weeds that looked like nobody attended to it in years, the whole building seemed well maintained, untouched by nature and the four seasons, proudly standing in the middle of nowhere.
Inside the pompous housing the marble floor is sparkling, on the walls are exquisite paintings to accent the magnificient sculptures standing on the side of the grand hallway, leading to a room. Where a person is sitting on a baroque styled chair, drinking a crimson liquid from a wine glass, putting it back on the antique side table, for a moment he sighed and looked outside the window with an expression of boredom on his face.
His gaze wandered to a flat screen TV, where it showed a man clad in a black mantle holding a katana while slaughtering a group of people that looked like mythical creatures with two fangs in their mouths, upon contact with the japanese sword , one after another turned to sparking ashes, it was probably a well known movie but the mans handsome face that watched the action movie showed disgust and a hint of anger.
“Hmph, such a stupid movie. No wonder the humans think they can kill us. How unfortuned that I am the last of our kind, those lesser vampire scum think they are all so powerful but they can't even take a stroll in broad daylight ”,

said the long platin silver haired man with his crimson red eyes glowing, like a brilliant ruby, in the dark room. With a sad tone in his voice, he muttered to himself,
“Haah, how has it come to this, living for 8000 years and I am now alone, watching this hilarous movie, my daily life is full of boredom and scum pestering me about making them my allies, such idiocy. I now can understand my fellow comrades entering their eternal sleep.
I was enraged, because they didn't tell me anything, just leaving me alone with a note stating that they transferred all their soulpower to me and I am supposed to stay awake, because it would be a shame, if all the supreme pure blood vampirey died out, what comrades they are.“
The Supreme pure blood vampire, swayed his right hand and the remote for the TV came flying into his palm, he turned the huge TV screen off that could fit in, a two meter full grown person in it. He emptied his wine glass with the red liquid that was definitely blood.
He putted the glass back where it was before and was heading to his grand kitchen, but before he could move a single step, he felt an ominous presence. His body reacted on his instincts and accumulated experience in battles. His left hand shot out to his side, with incredible speed like a bullet, grabbing the intruder at his neck while saying in a calm and cold voice,
“Who are you, what are you doing here and what do you want, when your answers are not satisfying, I will end your life.“
He looked the intruder in the eye and scrutinized him from top to bottom. The Unkown individual has a pointed chin, slightly contrasting ears, thin lips that made him look like a sly fox with his slant eyes, truly suspicious.

The sly fox looking man, was suprised for a second but regained his composure and answered,
“ Lord Aluzar Refizul Hochstern. “
Aluzar raised a brow, because he was suprised that someone knew his full name besides his comrades. All the people he knew were unworthy to know his full name, is what he thought. So they all adressed him as Lord Hochstern, but how could this man know his full name, the name he hadn't heard in 2000 years.
The Sly fox looking man continued,
“It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Kallad. I am a manager of this universe, assigned to this planet called earth by the humans. The Creator of creators has send me to meet you and to tell you that you're an existence too powerful for the population on earth and arranged a proposal for you, that will lift you from your eternal boredome in the near future.“
Aluzar was suprised and excited because, he was bored to death for more than 2000 years, since his fellow supreme pure blood vampire comrades intentionally entered their eternal sleep and left him with tremendous power. With that power and his various skills and combat abilities it wouldn't take week to conquer the earth and enslaving the humans but through out all his years of living. He had no interests in world domination and watched the humans and lesser vampires from the shadows. Earth has nothing to offer him anymore, all the wealth he collected, all the power he gained was nothing for him on this planet. He had reached the peak of the food chain.
This Opportunity to free him from his boredom was peaking his interest, but he didn't showed a tiny expression on his face, just an indefferent look,
“ Go head and explain. I am willing to hear you out but be warned, you're still suspicious.“
The Sly fox looking man showed a smile while being released from the grip of Aluzar.
Edit note: Fixed the misplaced commas and punctation and proof read it on my own, hope that their are no mistakes.

8 223The Fall
Perhaps the most well known of all devils, demons, or fallen angels is the one known as Lucifer, Satan, the Father of Lies. The cultural influence of this figure throughout history is by no means small. Despite that, it wasn’t until the time of Milton’s classic – Paradise Lost – that we saw an attempt to portray a dramatized version of the events leading to this figure’s fall from grace and power. And while this is the case, Paradise Lost is not about Lucifer – though it goes into great detail about his potential musings. No, Paradise Lost was, and still is, about the fall of mankind. So, in light of this, and the feeling that the classical story deserved another telling, I present to you all The Fall – a story focused particularly on Lucifer’s fall from grace and his musings both before and after.
