Another boring day in the lands of Nosgoth. I lay on the top of my bed looking at the ceiling sighing from boredom. I scratched my head and placed it on the pillow again. I jolted up suddenly from a sudden bang on my door I walked towards the door but before I could get near it, it flew open. Then from the shadows emerged my older brother Dumah he had no expression on his face and he came toward me. I stood up and gave a slight bow with a curious look open my face “what brings you hear brother” I asked confused but respectfully “I have word that you are leaving hear Melchiah, why so?” I thought to myself why does he care what are his plans Dumah had never liked me so why did he come all this way to ask? “It is only for a short while brother I must go and seek something that I have ordered my children to get for me I shall be back within 2 weeks, why do you ask” “cant a brother have a conversation and a visit from his own brother! is that not so?” Dumah said brightly but I knew that he was up to something he proudly sat on a chair near by and put his feet apoun a table and laid back before noticing a bottle of alcohol displayed on my table unit. He looked over at it and raised his eyebrows implying that he wished a drink. I nodded and gave him the bottle with a glass. But of course he took the bottle. I sat across from him looking at him trying to spot any sign of what he was up to. “Melchiah I must ask you out of curiosity of course, what is it exactly you are looking for or going to receive as you said” “just something nothing special” I said innocently “And what is that ‘something’” his voice started to shake his temper was very short and I was afraid of him but I never showed it to him but then again he knew I was and he always used that against me I hated him for that “Nothing Dumah when I receive it ill show you then alright now if you excuse me I have a lot to do” he stood up suddenly his ange! r beginning to flair. He stormed towards me and grabbed my throat “tell me little brother and I promise I will not hurt you” I was in shock I couldn’t say anything. He grabbed me to make me stand our height difference made the situation worse than what it was he was much taller and stronger than me “tell me” he shouted “i.i.it.a.a” he slammed me against the wall “tell me” I knew then why this was so important to him the thing I was going for actually belonged to him I remember the man telling me who was selling the artefact or weapon of course. I decided to still act as though I didn’t know why he was getting angry of course if I told him he would certainly beat me worse than he was already about to he flung me into a corner and grasped my throat as though it where a stick and clenched a fist and pulled it back “one more time tell me what it is” I thought to myself if I did tell him he would certainly kill me for sure. So foolish as I was I remained silent. Still holding me ! he pulled his fist back and I prepared myself for the pain and closed my eyes tightly. And waited yet nothing happened “What do you think you are doing Dumah realise him now!” I felt the pressure get off my throat and then I slowly opened my eyes and when Dumah let my throat go me legs gave way and I crouched onto the wooden floor staring at the ground in embarisment, fear and shame that I was weak and couldn’t defend myself against him. I saw a hand come down to help me up but I never kept my eyes of the floor. I stood up still looking at the ground “Melchiah what on earth happened there you where about have your face blackened?” by this time Dumah had left “well you see Raziel you know that weapon I have to collect it seemed that Dumah had to know what it was and was willing to beat me until he knew what it was” Raziel looked at me strangely “Melchiah may I ask what was this weapon” why it was my sword that I had when I first became vampire the one that Kain gave to me as ! I was about to lead my own clan, why do you think Dumah was acting this way” Raziel smiled at me “alcohol ring a bell” I laughed a little and looked at the table I noticed that he had taken the bottle with him which made me laugh more. Raziel was good at making me laugh and make me feel good again but I knew he only done it to make himself feel good I knew he truly pitted and looked down at me. “Well Melchiah see the sword that you are to get Dumah got word that it was more powerful than him but not as strong as Kains and also the sword was stronger power than him so I suggest you hide it because knowing Dumah he will find a way of snapping it into”. I nodded and set to receive my sword but there must have been something else apart from his jealousy and drink that made him so angry. So I set my things and prepared for the journey the next night… |
