FOUR DAYS AGO...
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Zq6sRFso
Walking down the dark alley of this street, this man in his red robes calm as though of different existence in the present, had that insane grin on his lips, with the red moon of this night bearing the same devilish grin, but one thing was recognizable, that whip which seemed to be alive as it lashed at the air, pinning for its prey.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17R04n8qob
Taking a sharp bend, the man appeared on another street and just ahead of this alley appeared that bronze gate bearing the emblem of a crow standing on the nozzle of the Silver Night Wolf - the emblem of the Balkyre Family. The bells of this town tolled themselves as midnight approached and the grin of this man widened as his prey became closer. Stopping before the gate, he brought out that stopwatch from within his robes, staring at its ticking hands, Lord Raven was excited, as today was the day that history was about to rewrite itself.

Madam Theonis sat at the head of her table drinking her tea calmly - trying to, one could say, with another man seated at the other end of the table, he to calmly drinking form his glass of wine.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVepbcI3bp
"Was that why you invited me to your mansion ?" The man asked.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjGar8l3jd
"Of course Theonis", Theonis replied, the dread of the previous night still in her eyes, "Balkyre Fang is really a threat to achieving the Dukedom and our goals."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2xW8in8td
"That means he must be eliminated", the man sighed as he played with the wine in his glass, "let's see how much of a demon he really is." That grin took over the man's lips.

"Be careful Barzak", Theonis warned her third subordinate, "from what I've seen, Fang might be real monster."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmAR1jHpE6
"There's no monster that doesn't have a weakness." Barzak of the Mane's Citadel replied.

"It seems like you don't understand your situation dear sir", Lord Raven said, standing before the Vampires seated at that banquet table, only staring at the one who was seated at the head of it, "I am a descendant of yours", Lord Raven calmly explained, "and I'm here to not only take your life but the first sword of Balkyre family as well."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MwNvVVMrC
"Impudent !" First patriarch, Balkyre Foran cursed, "not only claiming to be my descendant, but threatening to take the first sword of the Balkyre family ? You must be mad for making such a statement."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQCCwqzNFe
"Why do you think that I'm crazy from what I'm certain over ?" Lord Raven sighed, drawing that purple quail from his robes and waving it into the air, he transformed everyone in the room into a heap of dust, "do you believe me now patriarch Feron ?" Lord Raven asked.

PHASE TWO

"You underestimate my capabilities my prince", Balkyre Fang said from his table as the people attending the banquet stared at the noble prince speaking with the black sheep of the family, "not only can I help you gain the Dukedom of the Balkyre family, I can also help you gain control of the six realms entire dark empire."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzoUGWllgk
"What you mean is that you're capable of granting me control over the entire dark empire ?" Prince Megraz asked.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxznxQe6LO
"I never speak beyond my capabilities prince Megraz", Balkyre Fang said, "if I said I was going to give you the ends of the world, I can give it to you in a matter of seconds."

"Do you believe me now patriarch Feron ?" Lord Raven said as his whip lashed at the air like a writhing snake, the flare in his brown eyes igniting themselves to a savage intensity.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFH8mLBzEJ
"You must pay you imposter", Balkyre Feron said, as he bore out his fangs and claws, that aureole of red lightning falling from the the thundering skies struck him, transforming his being into a burning form wielding that fiery blade.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K6JWdAXVT
"The blade of dark flames.", Lord Raven laughed.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOBOjJaY8b
"You want the blade of dark flames", Feron challenged, "then you must be ready to face its wrath, because I'm not sure that you are capable of withstanding even a single blow from it."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJmRkbWmT1
"The blade of dark flames", Lord Raven repeated smiling, "it's already mine."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr6QUUDZX5
"You make me laugh ignorant fool", Feron frayed through the distance, leaping into the air, he made a mighty slash at Lord Raven with the blade of dark flames.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4TwRRtbGQ
Lord Raven stared at the pitiful vampire with the gaze of the victor staring at his already defeated opponent.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCO12b9Lvz
"It will be easier if you just stay still", Lord Raven said clicking his thumb, transforming Balkyre Feron into a fading mass of dust, with the falling blade of dark flames flying into his palms, transforming itself into a scroll, which Lord Raven placed within his cloak.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKlVIMVLzG
Turning around, about to leave, the appearance of this banquet hall transformed into a barren abyss of dark sandstorms.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4NrG6I3ja
"Why do you challenge", that dark being appearing behind Lord Raven said, "the preordained ?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrZQnB6STJ
"Because there's no way", Lord Raven replied as he turned around to confront the being, "I can achieve my objective without playing a bit with history's fabrics.", waving his hands, Lord Raven transformed the dark being into a floating mass of dust.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D1PkF6HQ9
"You can't run forever hidden one", the dark being challenged, "your actions are being felt by the masters."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEMmm3htS9
"Then let them come after me !" Lord Raven answered his challenge.

"Give me the six realms of the dark empire", prince Megraz repeated, "I do not doubt you but, you must first show me what you are capable of by how you handle your siblings." Prince Megraz said rising from his seat at Fang's table.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSJRO9cJGA
"I'll be waiting to hear from you soon my friend", the prince said walking away.

"Just as they said", Balkyre Erva mused, "the second prince is now friends with my younger brother and here I thought he was nothing but an ordinary drunkard."

"Wasn't Theonis able to deal with him ?" Ludgar asked standing beside his master at the Balkyre's banquet.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNT3nj1zqC
"If she was I don't think Fang will be attending this banquet ceremony", Erva said, "if he did, then it's would be his ghost standing here."

"That means she failed." Ludgar concluded.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDcNFgtMYw
"Or what is standing before us is the ghost of Balkyre Fang.", Erva said.

"I read that the patriarch Balkyre Feron had lived to a ripe old age", Desmator Mcvaller said smiling as he discussed with the head of the Balkyre family at that table which also had the patriarch of all the seven elite families seated.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33mpmpv8He
"And that the sword of dark flames", Desmator continued, "is now lying in the secret basement of the Balkyres."

Bringing out that ticking stopwatch from his pocket, Fang concluded, "because the timeline of things are about to change."

Lord Raven's eyes glistened as he stood before that blazing wall with a length stretching to the ends of infinity and it's height reaching the thundering skies. Stretching his right hand forward, Lord Raven placed the scroll on the surface of this wall. The wall shone brighter than before as it consumed the scroll into its core, then a change was enacted, a change that distorted its shape making it shatter into endless burning clouds of dense red.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QdmPX7oeD
Lord Raven watched intently as those endless rows of ticking clocks took form within the burning clouds, their hands running anticlockwise at an insane speed, making the depths of the earth on which Lord Raven stood tremble.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5BwbNS8mS
"Indeed the timeline of history has been changed." Lord Raven sighed, "but it's still not over yet."
