Fallen
The night was silent, the moon was full and big as if it would swallow the world. It was raining really hard. The thunders are rumbling like festival drums. Henry stepped on the sunken soil due to the heavy rain. He's on his way to Crimson City to visit his father when a sudden thunder strucked to a tree nearby and fallen near to him. He was shocked, good thing the tree didn't hit him or he would be crashed into pieces.
A few minutes more, he wasn't able to move. He feels something wrong around him and it gives him the chills. Suddenly, a strong wind came out of nowhere. He started to panic so he looked around him as if someone would attack him all of a sudden.
He stopped when he saw a figure of a man. It was at the top of a broken post standing on his feet.
"He did manage to balance himself?" Henry said to himself.
He didn't see the man's face very clearly. All he could say that the man has a very strong build, it was tall, and it has something it was hiding at his back. Wings. The man has wings.
"Who a-are you?" Henry suddenly had goosebumps after seeing what he saw. He was frightened that he was about to pee at his pants.
The man didn't answer. He just stood there and continued watching Henry. Until it decided to come down. He jumped straight to the ground and slowly walked towards Henry.
All that Henry could see was a complete darkness. He can't even figure out how the man looks like.
"W-what are you d-doing? S-stay away from m-me!" Henry retreated slowly pushing away the man that is now eight meters away from him.
The post suddenly lighted. There, he saw the man's face. It was like two years older than Henry. It may be at his twenties. It was really good looking, he was looks like a Spanish-American actor. It was way better looking than him although he was considered as one of the most handsome man at his country. His muscles was greatly carved and his hieght fits at all of it. Brown eye color, black hair and brownish skin complexion. He was barefooted and has no upper wear. All he had was just a black pants hanging at his torso, but that was not the one who took a lot of Henry's attention. It was the wings. The man's wings disappeared suddenly when the post lighted.
"Please don't kill me, I'm begging you!" Henry started to cry.
"I won't" The man stopped walking. He has a really deep voice.
Henry remembered, he has his sword at the left side hanged at his torso. He pulled it out and swayed it in front of that man.
"Stay away from me, Demon!"
The man just laughed at his face. Henry was like a child.
"Why are you laughing?!" Henry was now really angry, he feels like the man was just making fool with him.
The man's face suddenly went seriouse.
"I need you to be my reservoir. Kneel down and speak your oath of loyalty for me. I am now your master"
Henry was shocked when the man said those words. "Are you kidding me? Why would I do that?"
"Because, I'll kill you if you'd refuse."
Henry stepped back and stayed away from that man. "Is that so? Then I have to kill you first!"
Henry ran towards the man and swayed his sword trying to hit him.
"Die!" Henry was about to struck the man with his sword when he suddenly feel numbed.
He stopped and dropped his sword to the ground. He can't feel his body anymore. It was as if controlled by someone else. He can't even blink his own eyes or move his fingers.
"Now, bend on your knees." The man commanded him.
"How dare you!" Henry said to himself.
There is no voice that would come out to Henry's mouth. He was shocked when he found himself kneeling to the ground.
"H-how did he do that?"
"Speak!" The man said seriously.
"What are you doing to me? How could you...?!"
"Now speak your oath or I'll cut your throat." The man's face started to darkened.
"I wo--... From now on, you are my master. You can do whatever you want with my body." Henry didn't expected to say those words.
He was controlled by the man in front of him. The man picked Henry's sword and started to cut a little part of his wrist. Blood came out rapidly.
"Drink!"
Henry drank the blood from the man's wrist. Even if he didn't want to, he has no choice. He has no control of his own body.
The man turned his back at Henry and started to walk away. He saw an upside down V scar at the man's back. Henry's control to his body suddenly came back. He can now feel his own body and even taste the blood of that man. Henry quickly stood up and shouted at the man.
"Hey! Who are you? How dare you control my body?!"
The man stopped.
"My name is Sky, I am now your master. Every Chesvan, I will take over your body. Especially, your are now an IMMORTAL!" And the man disappeared together with the strong wind.
"What did he mean by that? What's Chesvan? Why am I an immortal? I don't understand!" Henry asked himself.
After what happened, what the man said was really true. He won't die no matter how he tried to kill himself. He even burned himself to death but a few days passed and the ashes built him again and again. He won't die!
