Foreword

(Disclaimer:

The story is a work of fiction and the characters are all fictitous and character names are all borrowed. None of it is to be taken as true.)

 

For many centuries, vampires and warlocks have walked amongst humans, their true identities shrouded by magic. Magic that gives them control over the governance of nations over the greatest part of the world – Power that is in the hand of mortals in plain sight but with the strings in the hands of the enhanced creatures. At the center of the game are a species of Hybrids, created by the union of vampires and witches. Carrying the unfathomable physical strength, immortality and preying abilities of vampires, the hybrids are invincible because of the magic in their blood. They cannot be killed by any means possible. There is only one exception to this rule– only a hybrid is strong enough to take the life of another hybrid. To the rest of the world, they are the supreme power that can never be defeated. Different clans hold reign in different parts of the world. In the Asian continent, the power has been held by the ancient Centanaios bloodline. They are the most ancient clan of Hybrid vampires, created by union between the ancient bloodlines of witches and vampires. They are as old as the first empires built on earth and their strength is unspeakable. 
Unlike the rule followed by mortals whereby the eldest born holds the rights to the throne, the Centanaios have practiced a tradition over generations where, when a king steps down or if he dies in his rule, the heir to the throne is decided by a battle amongst his sons. The son who establishes himself as the strongest succeeds to the throne. 
As is true for royal families of mortals, the Centanaios, too are blessed and cursed in equal measure. Several times in history, rebels amongst the hybrid bloodline have gone against the clan’s rules of abiding peacefully with the mortals. Slaughtering mortals and ending up in fights with their own brothers and the loss of many hybrid lives.
When their father is killed in one such battle, the princes XiHyun and Jungmyeon spar with each other for the throne, the younger Jungmyeon coming out victorious and ascending to the throne. The elder XiHyun, humiliated and nursing a grudge, makes a pact with a rebel prisoner, offering him freedom in return for taking his brother’s life in the dead of night as he sleeps in his chamber. The plan however fails as the rebel is over powered and killed by the King Jungmyeon. XiHyun is trapped and trialed in front of the king’s council of vampires and witches, and condemned to death for conspiracy against the king. XiHyun begs for protection for his infant son, Taehyung as his last dying wish and Jungmyeon, a stern ruler but honorable at heart, gives his brother the promise of forever taking care of Taehyung. Years pass and King Jungmyeon’s son, Seokjin develops a deep attachment with the young angelic docile Taehyung, loving him with a fond love of a brother, the crimes of his father long forgotten. Seokjin is deeply protective of Taehyung, even more so because of the promise once given by their father to keep Taehyung safe. Taehyung is half human, born of a union between XiHyun and a mortal girl – he is weak since his birth and Seokjin never lets Taehyung out of his sight, for fear of the child’s safety.
The king comes to know the young sorceress Shinye, believed to be the most powerful witch of their times, revered and feared equally by the masses for her extraordinary powers. They fall in love and Shinye comes home as the king’s second wife. With Shinye’s power protecting Jungmyeon, he is all but indestructible, invulnerable to the assaults of even the strongest rebels. Together they are the most formidable royal couple to reign.

When Shinye concieves,  she becomes increasingly weaker as her pregnancy proceeds, ultimately dying birthing her child, a beautiful baby boy with ebony hair and blue eyes, whom his father names Jungkook. On the way back from his wife’s burial ritual, Jungmyeon, weakened by grief and the absence of his wife’s magic, is attacked and wounded lethally by hybrid rebels. 

He is brought to the safety of his palace by loyal followers but his wounds are so fatal, it is inevitable that he should die. The warlock, Sehun, arrives at the palace at the same time, bearing the news of a prophecy that he says he must deliver only to the king. The guards hold him back but the king, in his last moments agrees to see him for the sake of any warning that Sehun might have brought that might have an implication on the future of his sons. 
Sehun comes to the king’s deathbed, Seokjin and Taehyung crying next to Jungmyeon’s bed and the newborn, Jungkook in a cradle beside it.
He picks the newborn in his arms and tells the king that he has seen a future in which the strongest vampire born in their bloodline till date comes to rule. This vampire is none other than his youngest, Jungkook, blessed with the protection of a spell invoked by his mother on her unborn child, and bearer of the sheer strength of his father’s ancient bloodline. He will be the most powerful vampire ever to walk the earth and truly indestructible. Fearless, aggressive, ruthless and glorious like none other. He will eradicate the threat posed by the rebels forever and will extend his rule all over the world. However there is a threat that may prevent this future from materializing. He will be betrayed by his own blood during his early life.
With this warning, Sehun leaves. The king, pulls his eldest, Seokjin close and in a weak voice, asks him for a promise. He should protect his brother at all costs and as long as Jungkook is not of age to rule, Seokjin should serve as a regent. He reminds Seokjin of his own promise for Taehyung’s protection as well.
“Watch over them. Protect them.” are the last words Jungmyeon says before closing his eyes forever.
A few months into Seokjin’s rule as regent, his beloved cousin Taehyung falls prey to an illness that weakens him to the extent where the witches in their coven inform Seokjin in despair that nothing else can be done other than to wait for his death. Seokjin is shaken by this news and mad for a remedy at any cost, he seeks out the most powerful warlock known to him. The one who had given them the prophecy for their future.
 Sehun tells Jin with a smile, that he had been waiting for him to arrive. He says he does have a way to prevent Taehyung’s death, but it comes at a great price. A soul for a soul, for a bargain with Death.
He asks for the newborn, Jungkook to be handed over to him, as the payment for saving Taehyung’s life.
The choice that Seokjin makes sets the stage for the events of this story, which occur twenty three years down the line.

 

( P. S. There is an involvement of certain EXO characters as well in my fic ~0~)
