The Last Bloodcrest

For millennia there was a mysterious continent with many names; The Unknown, The Demon Realm, or as the natives call it Tara-iam, which not only is a mixture of the Romanian and Latin translations for homeland but the natives also speak a dialect that is a mixture of Latin and Romanian.

From the outside Tara-iam appears to be covered in a wall of thick fog that somehow manages to always obscure the continent, even from satellites and planes flying above the clouds; however, any forced attempts by the outside to map out/research Tara-iam have ended in failure due to all boats and planes appearing an hour later from a random side of the continent. Another item to note about Tara-iam is that it is mysteriously visible and accessible from every ocean on Earth; despite its appearance of being as big as Australia, Tara-iam seems to be as large as Pangea.

The fog appears to only be visible from the outside, with both the natives and those who managed to enter Tara-iam describe that there is no fog, suggesting that it's a one-way feature.

As for the natives they call themselves Daemoniums which is Latin for demons, though only one of the many races on Tara-iam actually fit the description of what is considered a ‘demon’ and that race which prefers to go by the alternative name, Vampire. However, the Vampire race seems to be divided into two different sub-races, those who feed on one’s magic, aka Magic Vampires and those who feed on blood, aka Blood Vampires.

Each of the Vampire races had a prominent clan that ruled over half of the continent, the Bloodcrests and the Arcanos; both clans were once at war until a peace treaty was established when the prince of the Arcanos clan, princess of the Bloodcrest clan fell in love, got married and nine months later had a son who was the first ever Blood and Magic vampire hybrid which he was named Hades Bloodcrest.

Despite this there was still civil unrest between the two nations that resulted in a civil war against the Bloodcrest which reached its peak when Hades was only two weeks old; an army of soldiers and civilians stormed the Bloodcrest castle and managed to slaughter most of the clan, including the servants. However, there were only three survivors, Smokey Raptor aka the captain of the royal guard, Lilith the princess of the Bloodcrest clan and her son, Hades Bloodcrest.

Smokey Raptor is currently a thirty-two year old Were-eagle with jet-black hair, crimson-eyes, and light-gray skin; he was currently wearing a reddish-brown robe that had two silver pieces of armor on his shoulders, blue-gray pants, spruce-brown colored boots, charcoal-black colored gloves and a sword in its sheath.

Lilith Bloodcrest is a thousand year old Blood Vampire with hair that was mostly ash-gray except for a patch that was blood-red which was one of the signatures of a Bloodcrest, fuscia-pink eyes, four solid white fangs and lavender skin; the only thing Lilith had on was a snow-white and cherry-red nightgown due to the rebels storming her father's castle in the middle of the night.

“Milady, they're catching up to us, what are we going to do?” Smokey asked as he and Princess Lilith, who was carrying Hades in her arms, were chased through a forest by a stray group of the rebels but stopped because they had reached the ledge of a cliff.

Looking back at the mob who were quickly approaching, the canyon and Smokey, Lilith made a quick decision. “Here, take Hades and get him somewhere far away from Tara-iam!” Lilith commanded as she handed Smokey her son.

“Wh-what about you?” Smokey questioned as he took the infant.

“I’m too weak to fly or fight back...so I’m gonna jump off this clip and make it appear that I took Hades with me” Lilith explained before creating a blood doll in the shape of Hades. “Now go!”

“O-okay…” Smokey replied before transforming into a giant jet-black colored eagle and flying away with Hades.

“There she is!” One of the rebels shouted when they spotted Lilith.

“I love you and stay safe my little Hades…” Lilith thought before falling backwards off the cliff with the fake Hades in her arms and plummeting to her demise.

“What about Smokey?” One of the rebels asked as he pointed at the large bird flying away.

“Forget about him, he was wise to abandon the princess and her child” The leader of the rebels replied.

“I’m sorry my king, I failed to protect your daughter” Smokey thought when five minutes later he had flown past Tara-iam and emerged past the continent’s fog.

Within the next couple of minutes Smokey spotted a human city, flew down to what looked like a yard of a house, landed before placing Hades on the door mat, knocked and hid out of sight so he could make sure there was someone home.

The maid of a wealthy family found Hades and brought him inside to which a human mother by the name of Savvy Eve called the authorities who took Hades to the hospital before questioning Savvy, her husband Express Writer, their maid and butler. While this was happening Smokey flew away while hoping that the people who found Hades would take good care of him.

Savvy Eve was currently a twenty-nine year old woman on paid maternity leave from her job as a CEO of a major law firm; she has butter-yellow hair, cherry-red eyes and pastel-blue skin. Express Writer was currently a stay at home husband who is a twenty-seven year old man with mint-green hair, silver eyes and eggshell-white skin.

The family who found Hades already has a newborn daughter named Star Cake who was a week younger than Hades; She has butter-yellow hair, silver eyes and seafoam-blue skin.

As those who were present were questioned, Hades was checked out for any injuries by a doctor and the family was informed that after the discovery of one solid fang, one transparent fang and DNA testing that he was in fact a Blood and Magic Vampire.

After an extensive search by the authorities the family was asked to temporarily foster Hades until either his parents were found or until someone adopts him; however neither of them happened so Savvy and her husband decided to adopt Hades.

A while after Hades was adopted, his new family hired a groundskeeper who was named Smokey Raptor but, unknown to them he was there to ensure the safety of Hades for the foreseeable future.
