In the chilly northern regions of the main continent, near the Order city of Challandine an old altar lit up, as a cloud of red mist shrouded the grounds. Fading it left a young man in it's place, Percival the Vampire.

Standing as if to press a bright red button he unfroze and fell to the ground.

The story so far:

Part 1: A Fateful Meeting.

Mauller

Standing in disbelief at what he saw was a young paladin in training. The broom in his hands fell to the floor as he hurried to draw the holy cross on his chest.

'Lord mother above, what happened?'

Flodoomable

Percival groggily pulled his hoodie over his head. "Arg.. Why is there a sunlamp in a museum.." ('=.=)

He looked up from where he sat, looking up in surprise. "T-there is no lamp.." He looked around him. "N-no museum.." He looked back to the man approaching him and tried to crawl away for as much as his sun-weakened boy would let him. "W-who are you? And what's with the old-timey getup?"

Mauller

The young man raised an eyebrow. 'you are not from around here? your attire tells me much.'

He kept approaching with his hand on the cross around his neck. 'What is this.. mooseum you speak of?'

Flodoomable

The young man stopped backing up. "You don't know? A museum, the one made to hold the artifacts of the great war? The one where the Chiefgoddess wasn't yet corrupted?"

He looked at the cross but kept his hoodie over his eyes as the sun blazed on him from above. "That thing.. I saw one of those crosses in the displays." (>.0)

Mauller

Quickly bowed his head and said a prayer that ended with 'may the light of our holy mother shine down upon us.'

He then looked up at him then punched the intruder. 'Never disrispect the Great mother. Corrupted? what nonsense you speak. Museums, great war? what ilness has brought upon you to come up with such strangeties?'

Flodoomable

Percival held his arms over his head as to defend himself. "Arg.. What the hell man?! Okay, okay, I won't talk about her!" He peeked at the priest from under his arms. "W-why is this new to you, who are you even?"

Mauller

'I am inductee Alek, i am training to join the Paladins... althogh things are not going well.' The young man sighed. 'I should have listened to Brianna... i was not cut out for this.' he covered his face then sat o nthe stone steps that ascended to the altar.

'so tell me stranger, what brought you here? that was magic right? i have not stated training in the magical arts yet.'

Flodoomable

The vampire crawled up next to Alek sitting down as well, but with a hand on his pocket for protection. "The way you ask it, it probably was. Moments ago I was with my friends Daring eachother to break into the museums and touch a few of the ancient artifacts of the Great war. Next thing I know the sun is boiling my blood and I'm punched by.."

He looked over Alek. "A priest? Right? I didn't play much Dungeons&Dildos, so I don't know much about old-timey stuff."

He held out his hand to Alek. "I'm Percival Proviliche, blue-blood Vampire. And currently being burned alive by our good friend above, the sun."

Mauller

Alek Jumped up and grabbed his broom, pointing the end towards percy. 'did you jsut say vampire! but...' he raised an eyebrow. 'you are a boy right? that or you are a funny looking girl...'

'And no, i am not a priest. just an inductee, i have no idea what this Dungeons and bilbos is that you speak. and why do you keep talking about a great war? the last war was the war of ascention when the demon lord lillith came to power while all of the other waring factions were distracted.'

Flodoomable

The young man looked confused at the broom. He then pulled his lips aside to show his sharp fangs. "I wanna explain about the great war, but I fear you're going to punch me again.. (o-o)

Dungeons & Dildos is a game where four people play out adventures using dice on a large wooden board with a map on it." (0.0)/

And I am definitely a man!" (>.<)/

Mauller

Alek raised an eyebrow and tilted his head. he put the broom to his side then rested on it. 'a board game? like checkers or kings & queens? (chess)'

He looked around then offered a hand to percy. 'we should hurry, there will be a cermon in here soon and i doubt the elders will take kindly to you.'

Flodoomable

The young man took Alek's hand, standing up. "Yeah, like checkers. Sorta. What kind of ceremony was being held again?"

Percyval hummed. "I don't think they will mind me, but if they all wear outfits like you I have no doubt."

"If this all turns out to be an illusion by the museum director, I'll sue him so badly.."

Mauller

The door at the end of the chapel started opening. Alek quickly grabbed percy, opened the confessional booth then threw him inside of it. 'just stay in here... and trust me. you don't want to be found.'

'Alek! what are you doing over there!' called out an older mans voice.

'Erm, just cleaning the booths floor sir. won't be long now. i have polished the pews and the altar already.'

'Good, you better be ready soon. you are being tested today remember.'

'yes sir...' Alek looked a little disheartened then acted as thoug hhe was sweeping dirt out of the boot and closed it behind himself. 'just wait herre for a moment.'

Percy could see alek walk away and walk towards an older man who was wearing an ornate priest outfit. The man had a sour look on his face and swiped alek around the head. but hewas too far and speaking too quietly to hear what was said. After a few minutes the older man walked to the altar, picked something up then left the chapel again. leaving alek standing in the middle of the isle.

Flodoomable

"B-but.."

Percival was about to object, but suddenly felt revitalized being out of the sun, Worried for Alek though he moved a tiny bit of the curtains to peek outside the booth.

His eye hurt a lot from the outside light, but he persevered to see what was happening to the Paladin. (/O.O)/|_|

Mauller

Alek sighed then put his broom away. After ten minutes a group of men in ornate clothin entered the room and stood at teh altar with alek standing in front of them. they begantalking at length about his oaths under the high mother and his test.

'Yes, i am ready.' After a few moments, one side of aleks cloths tore open and a splash of blood flew from his side. he remained standing still but the pain could be seen on his face as he kept quiet.

'very good alek. you have improved much.'

Percy could feel a lot of magical energy coming from the ornately clothed men. And after another few moments aleks clothes tore again but no blood appeared. Aleks face remained stoik as blood dripped down his exposedside.

Flodoomable

The vampire gasped, wanting to hide behind the curtain, because these men seemed to be magically torturing Alek. Yet he couldn't look away, needing to know what happened to his possible new friend. (O.O)

"Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay.. Don't become some summoned demonic sadist who will try to eat me if you survive.."

Mauller

Alek was suddenly knocked to the side by an invisible blow. but he was gritting his teeth and straightened up again. Another blow knocked his centre back. it took the breath from him but he stood up sweating and gasping.

'very good, very good. you had not reached this level before. what change?'

Alek laughed then wiped the blood from his nose. 'just thinking of how i will show you old men up.'

'Show us up? then take this.'

Aleks eyes narrowed and he braced himself. he was suddenly pushed back down the isle by a powerful blow but remained standing. the old men started talking amongst themselves and began leaving. one remained and stood beside alek. the young man appeared to be talking with the older man untill the older man punched him. the old man then left, leaving alek standing and bleeding in the middle of the isle.

Flodoomable

Percival waited till his mamono-senses could hear the men no longer. He then rushed out of the booth up to Alek, where he stumbled back to the ground near the paladin. "Dude, are you okaaah..Sun..I forgot, freaking hell." (ToT)/

Mauller

Alek grinned and coughed up some blood. one of his eyes was black and he had various cuts over his body.

'yeah, far better than before. i will go get healed in an hour when the others are free. but i passed and did better than the snob at the top of the class. funny what a bit of pressure can do hey?'

he looked at percy then started laughing untill he thre up a reasonable amount of blood.

'urgh.. scratch that, i might need to go to the wards now.' he started looking a little pale.

Flodoomable

Percival grumbled as he rolled over onto his back, speaking as if he was dryheaving. "Y-you go on ahead.. I'll just lie down here.. Ugh.."

"I don't know what the hell kind of satanic cult you guys are, but good to hear you've passed your test.."

Mauller

'it might look bad.. but its not what you think.' He staggered to a side door instead of the large one. 'i will be back in half an hour. just try to keep out of the way untill then.'

Flodoomable

The vampire looked to Alek as he walked off. "...Weirdo.. " *He then looked back at the blood. "Ugh.. That vampires just drink that sludgey stuff right from a person's neck.."

He looked up above him, seeing the sunlight shine through the cathedral's glass roof. "I hate that architect.."

He then crawled back to the confessing booth and tried to sleep there a bit like a hobo.

Mauller

a bit of time passed

percy heard a knocking on the confession booth then heard someone in the booth next to him.

'father, may i seek confession with you?' it sounded like a young woman through the fabric mesh.

Flodoomable

The young man woke up and held his face with a hand. "O.. Of course." (>.0)

Mauller

He could hear sniffling and whimpering.

'i have done a terrible thing father... i have had.. impure thoughts... over one of the inductees. i even went as far as... ' sobbed more.

Flodoomable

The vampire realized what the small thing was again in which he sat, he quickly thought of something a priest person would say.

He set up his voice on a slightly lower tone. "W-worry not my child, not all gods judge certain acts the same. But it sounds like you are doing well in gaining.."

He racked his brain for a moment to remember all the gods that in his time spend days having sex with eachother and followers. "Eros, yes. You are following the path of Eros, you need not worry for your doings."

Mauller

The sniffling continued.

'but.. but he is my brother sir... even following Goddess Ero's teachings...'

started bawling.

Flodoomable

Percival blushed heavily, looking at her through the gause. (O///O)

"M-my child, if it is true love, you need not worry. Eros will understand your beckoning."

Mauller

When percy looked, he could see a figure with a hood obscuring the face.

'sniffle sniffle, hes so strong and handsome, he gets me all warm and bothered at night.'

The girl then started laughing and the hood turned to the screen, inside the hood percy could see alek with a small necklace around his throat.

Flodoomable

Percy glared at Alek. "What the.. Oh.. You ass."

He laughed, looking at percy and back at the curtains. XD

Mauller

A door at percys feet slid open in the dividing wall. alek threw something through then closed it again.

'here, put these on, it will make out stand out less. i will be waiting outside. just a few more errands to run for the day before i am free.'

The door opened in the ajoining boot and percysaw alek leaving

Flodoomable

The vampire picked up the clothes and looked them over. "It's not a dress, is it?" ('=.=)

Putting it on he realized the quality of fabric being heavily diminished. "Did you buy this at a sale or something?"

He then stepped out of the booth looking himself over, and a minute later feeling the decreased, yet still present sunlight again.

Mauller

Alek looked him up and down. 'good, those are some sturdy inductee robes. even the girls wear the same as the men. so don't feel left out if dresses are your thing.' grinned.

'but anyway, i jsut need to give a letter to the guard commander then i am free for the day.'

Flodoomable

Percy glared at the robes. "So it indeed is a dress.." (=.=) Sigh.

He looked up and felt if the robe had a hood. "Say, sorry for making you bother with me. I'm not entirely sure what happened to the museum and people not remembering the great war, but I thank you for providing for me like this."

"I'll hang around here for now until you're back. Then once it becomes night I'll see how I can get out of your hair, if you know what I mean."

Mauller

Alek shook his head. ;i would'nt go off on your own, trust me when i say it would be bad if they caught you. outsiders aren't treated kindly here.'

He then started walking to the door, come on we still have a walke ahead of us just to get to town.

Flodoomable

(I'll just assume the robe has a hood, or Percy will do that walk crawling) =P

Percival took a deep breath, and thought seeing Alek's first response that he should probably not talk to avoid risk of people seeing his teeth.

He put on the hood and walked with Alek. "Ah, fine. Let's be on our way then. It's funny, but would you care to hear me out as we walk? Without punching me?"

Part 2: A Sudden Realisation.

Mauller

Alek chuckled then grinned, sure. He looked as healthy as when percy first saw him, although his skin still showed the outline of bruising. 'just stay close.'

when alek opened the door and they left, percy saw the scene of the town bellow, it appeared they were on the side of a mountain face with the town itself in what appeared to be a volcanic basin.

'nice place hey? the mountains give a nice bit of protection from the monsters.'

Flodoomable

The young man winked to Alek. "Oh, and look at you with your fancy healing magic. They sure take good care of cultists." (>w0)/

Seeing the scenery Percival stoof in awe. "T-the city.. It's gone. All the skyscrapers and Magi-cars are not here. It almost looks like some vacation brochure from thirty-seventh honeymoon." (O.O)

"Either the Sect are humoring me with a powerful illusion, or I'm in a freaking another world.."

Mauller

Alek looked at percy like he was a loon. he then started walking through the garden in front of the church then down a stairway the was cut into the side of the volcanic basin.

'its going to take us a bit of time to get down there. just don't look back and we will be fine.'

Large shadows looked from behind the church and perc felt as thoug ha lot of eyes were watching him.

Flodoomable

Knowing from movies what happens if the idiot main actor doesn't listen to co-actors, Percy kept his head down while walking with Alek, trying to understand what happened.

Snapping out of his thought process he looked back to Alek. "Right, right.. The Great war. I would explain and you did promise NOT to punch me."

"Right now, the DemonLord rules the world. The Chiefgod and all the others have been freed from their homicidal mindset and are all having fun together. In a matter of speech, that is. Meaning we now get to live peacefully however we wish."

"The great war, from many generations back before my birth was a holy war between the DemonLord and the ChiefGodess. Back during the great war you still had humans, they are like incubi but weaker and less.. frisky. Back then monsters and humans where fighting. The ChiefGodess and her humans killing monsters, while the DemonLord and her monsters tried to sex the humans into becoming incubi as to create unification in the world."

Percival looked back to Alek. "Are you following me so far?"

Mauller

Alek looked confused but nodded. 'i have heard of incubi, corrupt humans that lay with monsters to help them breed. disgusting beasts should be eradicated if you ask me... if it wasn't for me then my best friend would have been killed by them. sadly her family didn't survive the attack.'

Alek eyed percy but it was clear that it was a touchy subject.

'And i have no idea what you mean with homicidal tendencies. if it wasn't for the gods and the angels then we would all be dead by now.'

Flodoomable

Percibal hummed at the thought. "Homocidal like.. Like wanting to kill everything that isn't human. Those gods no longer want to kill all monsters or humans."

He moved his hands about. "But to make the story short. At the end of the Great War, the DemonLord got powerfull enough to overpower the ChiefGodess, making all humans into incubi or monsters. With nobody left to fight the incubi spent their time not on warefare with monsters, but on developing our culture as a whole."

He smiled. "With the war behind us and all the gods in addition to the ChiefGodess now friendly, the Sabbath and Magi-Tech advanced our civilization."

He then frowned. "I can't tell you much in detail about the Great war, since it's been maybe a thousand years in the past. And.. I didn't pay much attention in history class, hehe. So I don't know, maybe some monsters DID kill humans for some idiotic reason."

Mauller

Alek glanced sideways at percy 'i would keep your fantastical stories to yourself. it would more than likely get you killed her if you spouted that all off to the wrong person.'

The steps were long and they were only halfway down. the city itself was fairly expansive, but the largest structure only stood three stories high.

'talking out against the chif godess could get you put in gaol. but talking about the demon lord like that could see you hanged or worse.'

Flodoomable

The young man looked somewhat out of hope. "Fantastical? Does it really sound THAT unbelievable? What race are you anyway? I don't see any extra bodyparts, so just the regular incubi? Actually, hold on a minute. I haven't seen a single monster this entire time."

He found some trouble stepping from stone to stone with his new attire. "And why is it bad to talk about gods?"

Mauller

Alek grabbed percy by the collar and pushed him against the rock face. 'just.... shut up. it is getting to the point where i am finding it hard to not turn you into the inquisition right now as a traitor.'

he then let go and started stomping down the steps. 'and i am human you idiot. we are all human, well.. except for the odd angel that lives here.'

Flodoomable

After Alek let him go Percival went quiet, looking around him with the realization that there where only humans around. Taking in the different city and the face that nobody seemed to know the great war he finally understood what had happened. "T-that's great, a time travel artifact. I don't even know what year in the war it is, I'm fucked.."

With that he followed the to-be-paladin, rubbing his back where he had been slammed into the rocks.

Mauller

After another half hour of silent walking. they came to the bottom of the steps which connected to a large street. the street itself appeared to be filled wih people and market stalls. a few people nodded to the pair and drew the holy cross on thier chests when they spotted them.

'Are you hungry? i am sure i can get us something with my allowance.'

Flodoomable

The vampire patted his side, the place where a pocket would be if he wore a pants (which he still might be, since who is going to look under his robe?). "I just need a glass, water and I'll be fine on food."

Mauller

'Well i am hungry, lets go find a stall somewhere so i can get a meat pie.'

He started walking into the market and people moved out of the way for him. the same happening for percy when he walked along.

'I came to this place when i was sixteen. i left home... well, i couldn't say that i left. I actually ran away from home. i grew up in a peaceful farming village. well it was moslty peacefull till the monster attack wehn i was ten.'

Flodoomable

Percival followed his 'friend' through the crowd, speaking with Alek. "Attacked how? Did they try to convert you?"

Mauller

'They were monsters, why else would they attack us? i saw people i knew since i was young killed or dragged away by them. i have nothing but hate for them. And what disgusts me the most.' his hands were now shaking as he held them into a fist. 'is how they look like women... and how one tried to sweet talk me into going with her... but i turned and ran. lucky for me i managed to dive under a building.'

Flodoomable

Percival muttered something under his breath, then patted him on the back. "Well, don't worry. You won't experience the same from me, I'm not even very skilled in blood-magic either."

He looked up to what kind of stall was coming up. He had seen pictures of meatpie, and what was in the stall ahead looked a lit like it. "I don't know hot to explain my culture to you very well without examples, but we'll manage eventually, right?"

Mauller

Alek sighed then looked at percy and shook his head. 'i may never understand you, saying all these weird this. But it might be fun to hear if i don't kill you before then.' he grinned then motioned to the stand ahead of them.

'is a good stand this one, you may actualyl get some cow meat in the pie if you are lucky. hey dave, two specials please. here go.' Once alek took the two pies he gave one to percy, the pastry loked as thoug hit had been a circle at one point with a filling in the middle, it had then been folded over in half and crimped along the remaining edge.

Flodoomable

He smiled. "That actually looks rather nice, something different than blood once in a while, hehe."

He looked Alek over a few times. "P-please don't joke about that. IF you want to kill me, just let me walk off? I'd rather die at the hand of not watching enough survival video's on Sabbatube than with someone's sword through my head."

Mauller

Alek pointed to percy whlie grinning. 'hey, i have talked to you in polite conversation. At the least i would let you gargle on your own blood for a bit befoer killing you.' he then burst into laughter.

'oh sweet! the pie is chicken today.' he started to voraciously eat before licking the grease off his fingers. 'hmm... now that was good. better keep moving we still have to walk to the other side of the city.'

He started wiping his fingers while walking down a side street.

Flodoomable

(0__0) Percy nommed little bits off of the meatpie, eating significantly longer over the same meal. "Yeah, hehe..Eh" (^.^')

He shuddered and whispered to himself. "Barbarian.." (o.o)

He hummed. "I'd rather stay alive now that I think about it. W-who was that commander of yours?"

Mauller

'The man we are going to see is called Donivan. he runs the city guards and helps with the army. I just run messages for the church every now and then. its part of an inductees work. far better tahn scrubbing the latrines. now i tel you, that is a real shit job.' cheesy grin.

They were walking down some rather dark alleys, a few thuggish people eyed them as they passed but said nothing.

Flodoomable

Percival looked between the thugs, seemingly distasted by their appearance. "I see, it worries me that magically self cleaning enchantments haven't been invented yet."

He looked at the cross on Alek's chest. What church do you mean by the way? The Chiefgod, Bastet, Eros?"

Mauller

Alek looked back and grinned.

'The church of nyx, godess of the night. you could say that it is an unconventional church. but keep it between us, most people would call us an assasins guild. but i would just keep that between us. you would end up dead if one of the Paladins heard inductees talking about it in public.'

He still had a huge grin on his face as he rounded another corner.

'But don't worry you can clean yourself up all you like later. its bath night after all.'

Flodoomable

The young man chuckled as he walked. "Kinda crappy for followers of Nyx to have a glass roof. The architect that made that really royally screwed me over, I'm sure you know the deal with vampires and sun?"

He looked behind him. "And do you have many of hose rough guys in the city? It makes me nauseous. I can smell their diseases.. Like they all did it to the same prostitu... whore, as you call them in this time."

Mauller

'you will find filth, criminal, poor in any city. its not something you can escape. I was lucky to grow up in the countryside. we took care of our own and the local lord was old and kind. so taxes were manageable. he often visited on ocassion and held banquets in the town hall.'

alek frowned and looked down, he then shook his head and walked the m out into a main road again, the basins opposite wall was far closer now, and if percy looked back to where they came from he would see the large fortress church built into the wall of the basin from where they came.

Flodoomable

He nodded. "I should have expected so, the war is apparently going on right now after all. Military power bleeds the land dry, but to fight the enemy you sadly have no other choice."

He huffed. "I hope the towns and villages are better off.."

Mauller

after another ten minutes of walking in silence they came to a building that was guarded. Alek showed some papers to the guards before motioning for percy to join.

'don't worry guys, just showing a new inductee around. he doesn't even have papers yet. but you know how slow they can be for that. took me three months just to get mine.' the guards laughed a bit then patted percy on the back as he followed.

Flodoomable

(0o0) Percival looked between the guards and Alek. "I have to wait that long?! I'll never make it past inductee."

He tried to contain himself, every word being a possibility to blow his cover, but every word not spoken raising suspicion even more. For now he would use his acting skills picked up from years and years of being a lazy turd with an Magi-tech equivalent of a TV.

Mauller

The interior of the building was very busy. But it was very well kept and ornately decorated. the hallways were lined with carpets and lit with glowstone. Alek continued walking without being questioned by the many armoured people walking around. he then went up a staircase and walked down a mostly empty coridoor. at the far end, two angels were guarding a doorway. both of them with spears in thier hands.

'ok, just act natural, these guys can be nosey but theyare not so bad once you get to know them.'

Flodoomable

Percival scratched the back of his head before heading into the hall. "Can't angels sense stuff? If monsters can do it, can't all un-humans?"

Mauller

'Just don't worry, keep behind me. plus these inductee capes are magic, what good would the church of nyx be if people could feel you coming up behind them?' he grinned then carried on walking.

Flodoomable

He nodded. "Okay then... I trust you.."

He seemed nervous, but having the hood on helped calm him for the most part.

Mauller

Alek walked up to the angels, he didnt even present his paper. he merely nodded and they opened the doors for him.

'come on, don't worry about him, newbie in training.'

The angels kept more of an eye on percy but didn't move from thier posts. the interior of the room was large and lined with bookshelves. at the far end of it a middle aged man was wearing a suit with metal pauldrons. he looked up at the newcomers then gestured them further inside.

'come in, come in boys. i hope things go well?'

'Yes sir. more messages from the church. i hope things are well with you.'

'certainly Alek. now who is your friend? speak up lad, hearings not its best since fending off a banshee.'

Flodoomable

The young man looked to Alek and back to the aged man. Putting up the most honest voice he could muster he spoke. "My name is Percival Provi.. Just Percival, sir."

He nearly hit himself for mentioning his last name, in case his ancestor's family name was well know. He was a blue-blood back home after all. He tried his best to seen normal though. Hoping the man before him had diminished eyesight and hoping he wouldn't notice Percy was the only 'human' with red eyes.
