Love between races 1
Chapter 1: Wounded and alone
I was Lawrence Tasbathi. I was the leader of the Fighting Shadowians My home country carried the name Shadowia. My race was supernatural creatures with mighty powers… more powerful than anything known in this world… or we thought we were… until a horrible war started. The war was between Dragons and us. Dragons were maybe as us… they carried powers too… but I didn’t know much about them. Only that they were feared and hated. Else there were Vampires. Vampires were only thirsting after blood… but they always created problems in the world. I had fought against a vampire… before he had thrown me down in a river… that was the last thing I remembered… before I passed out. Now I just felt nothing. I felt only my memories. But I had no contact with my own body. I tried opening my eyes… but I couldn’t. My powers had left me. The powers of Shadowians were called energies. Our energies were almost always in perfect harmony with the nature. The destructive energies always had their opposites energies… just like Ying and Yang. We honored the gods that had given us the powers… I slowly opened my eyes and saw her. First I thought my wounded body was playing with me… but then I saw her. She had silver hair and… red eyes? I knew what she was… She was a Dragon. I wanted to talk… but felt the powers to talk had been rigged from my body.
“Is he awake?” a man asked. “We should just kill him”
“What do you know?” the girl asked. “I mean about him?”
“His name is Lawrence Tasbathi.” The man answered, “He’s the leader of the fighting Shadowians”
My people! They could be in danger. I had to return… I had to protect them. I had to! My wounded body betrayed me...
The man smiled evilly, “all the Shadowians are totally freaked out without him” he laughed, “Killing him might be the best hit against the Shadowians”
The girl nodded, “Yeah” she smiled.
I slowly stood up but I felt the man kicked me back. I felt a faint blood taste in my mouth. “Stop” I said.
“Oh he is alive” the man said, “what did you say Shadowian?” he asked. “You asked me to stop hitting you? Poor idiot… just as weak as the rest of your stupid race” he raised his hand to hit me again.
I closed my eyes calling after something… my energy. It was the energy of a leader. My energy was called everything. It was a creating energy. My powers didn’t respond. Was I that weak? I shook my head… I couldn’t call it. I was… alone. I was in the Dagon world… My energy wasn’t here. I was… alone. I looked down in the hard stone floor. “My energy” I mumbled.
“Yeah too bad Shadowian” the man said and laughed, “we drained you. You carry no power” he smiled. “Good news Shadowian” he laughed, “You’ll soon die”
Maybe they had drained my powers… but… no! They didn’t have all my powers. My energy was connected to my heart. They first had to remove my heart and then my energy. I closed my eyes. Law is calling I mumbled. I felt relieved when my energy at last responded. Its beautiful light covered my inside… and healed my wounds fast.
“What’s the matter scared?” the man asked.
“Not really” I answered. I think I shocked the man. “I fear no one” okay what a lie. I was scared now. But I didn’t show it… pride? Maybe. Maybe I was just homesick. I was a Tasbathi. My family had fought against vampires, Dragons and even humans. I missed my brothers and my sister. I missed Nicholas he always knew… how to cheer me up. I missed Detric with his stupid comments and I missed Lorena… she was always too stubborn to give up…
“Yarg hurry up man” a girl yelled. “Derviz come”
The two Dragons left my prison and locked.
I looked around… nothing. A least I had a small window… I moved closer to it. The view was… beautiful. I had no time to admire the view. I had to contact my family. They had to know I was okay… and I knew just the way to get what I wanted. A few hours later a dragon pushed me out of my prison and to a huge sale… where Dragons were staring at me… like I was some sort of exotic animal.
“Who will kill the Shadowian?” a girl asked. This girl had silver hair but… her eyes were different than… Derviz’s.
Would they even listen to my point of view… probably not? I sighed and just stared at all the Dragons. They were all… different than I had expected. They all seemed powerful… But I didn’t dare going against them right now.
“Maybe he could show us the direction to the Leading Tower” Yarg said. He was such an idiot!
The Leading Tower was my tower. Its thick walls protected Shadowia… and the tower was one of the only ways into Shadowia. “Never” I said. I was the leader of the Fighting Shadowians… it was my duty to guard the Tower.
“You speak when you’re spoken to” a Dragon hit me on my leg with his staff.
I felt the pain came over me. “Give it up. I’ll never show you the Leading Tower” I gave them an ice-cold glare.
“Every man can be broken” Yarg said. He moved closer to me. I didn’t like that guy! I saw revenge thirst in his eyes… and it scared me. “Even you Shadowian”
“You forget Dragon” I said, “I’m the leader of the Fighting Shadowians. You think I was chosen because I was weak?” I asked. Yes I sounded more self-assured than I felt… But… well… I had to get them of my back.
Yarg seemed even angrier than before.
I didn’t feel safe with this.
“Shut up Shadowian!” Derviz hit me hard on my head. I felt dizzy. “We’ll find a way to you’re oh so proud race and when we do I’ll kill every single Shadowian with my own hands” she said angrily.
I was way too dizzy even to respond.
“Let’s break him,” Yarg said, “but you know the rules. Shadowian. You have one wish what do you wish?” he asked.
“I want… a flute,” I answered.
They all stared shocked at me.
My connection to my sister was through music. Music was life. And well… I guess I needed my sister’s strength… a least they could find me if they heard me playing it. “Yes a flute” I repeated.
Imagine my shock when I was pushed back into my prison with a flute. I sat in the window playing it. I was exhausted. I felt pain so deep I really wanted to forget… but I needed the strength from my family.
A/N: Hi! I know you’re probably very confused about the Shadowians and Dragons… but everything will be revealed… I promise. If you are confused… I’m really sorry… but I promise I’ll make the next chappie better…
