♕ A King's 1st Blood ♕ [Accidental Video]

[vampirebrat]

[The video clicks and the feed begins with a quick red haze passing through it. It's hard to identify what it was since it was now deep within the owner's pocket. The feed appears to be in someone's pocket and had a clear view of Genessia Hospital's emergency ward. Right beside the owner was an old woman whom was slowly coming to her senses. If she wasn't in the emergency room, one would doubt that she was ill in the first place - because she looked perfectly healthy.]

Thank you, young man.. I mean doctor. I've never been better. I need to show you my appreciation!

There's no need for it.

But there is! I was half-beaten to death by those thugs who stole my money. But with your care, I don't even have a single wound or bruise in me. I wish I could pay you, but I have nothing of value left. Thank you, Doctor.

It doesn't matter. I'll have you discharged by daybreak.

[The woman still sounded frail but looked upon the doctor with great appreciation in her features. The doctor on the other hand sounded professional if not indifferent and cold. If only this woman knew that in exchange for healing her completely, he took some of her blood. Happily, the bandages that remained on her body, however small, hid the puncture marks well.]


*****

[It was a few minutes before daybreak. The doctor seemed to be filing the necessary paperwork to discharge most of his patients. In front of him was the head nurse for the night shift.]

Doctor Duzell, time to leave?

Yes. Endorse the rest of my patients to you know who.

[The head nurse seemed to find this amusing. In fact, he was laughing so hard. Duzell didn't mind him so much, since its mostly just the two of them watching over the hospital during night time, them and a few other nurses and lab technicians. Admittedly in the beginning, he found his cheery disposition to be too irritating. Though as the weeks passed by, he got used to it. He reminded Duzell of Yuujel.

Though Duzell did his best to handle all the priority patients for the evening, he always endorsed the rest of his patients to the same person. Not that he didn't think the other doctors were capable. Also, he could have finished all his patients for the evening since the job was relatively easy, but he was too lazy for that, and she knows it.]

Doctor Ishtar will throw a fit again! You should have seen her when you endorsed 30 patients all in one morning.

Really?

She had her hands full and no doctor could touch the patients and help her because of your endorsement! She wasn't exactly happy about it.

[Clearly this amused him to no end. His face did not show it, but he was certainly pleased with his actions. Perhaps this place was not as boring as he initially thought. In any case, this is all Ishtar's fault. Forcing him to work was a ridiculous idea. Where does she get the guts to tell a Vampire King he should work to earn money for rent? Sure she was the Princess of Pheliosta but he was still the Vampire King, Duzell. Wasn't she the one who was supposed to be providing for him? At least, that was their set-up back in their kingdom. He does everything else while she makes sure he has a cozy lifestyle. It wasn't set in stone, but that was how it was in the castle and Duzell got used to that.

Shortly after the nurse spoke, Duzell noticed that his communicator was blinking. Before the feed ends, it gives everyone a glimpse of Duzell's immaculate features, his long and shiny white hair and his hauntingly beautiful red eyes.]

That's the disadvantage of expecting and creating relationship with others.

I think you already know my name though.

So you're a half-breed. There's nothing new with this. What powers and limitations do you posses?

[violencefirst]

No, Duzell... That's called making friends. I don't expect you to remember me, so don't assume that I'm going to expect you to act a certain way around me. I'm sure with time, that'll all come back.

[Meanwhile, his lack of being social is nothing new to Rose.]

I'm stronger and faster than most humans. That also being said, I'm more likely to live longer, thanks to the Moroi blood.

Dhampirs are taught from a young age that Moroi come first and we basically live to protect them. They've gotten weak over the centuries due to Strigoi. So basically from birth we're taught that violence is always the answer and that we'll protect a Moroi for the rest of our lives.

While Dhampirs don't have magic like Moroi do, we are generally much stronger because of years of training and practice.

[Before he asks again, she's in good practice by now.]

A Moroi is from my world, which is basically your pure blooded vampire. They are usually "royal" and specialize in an element.

Strigoi are your basic evil vampires that are nearly impossible to beat. Very strong and fast. A new born can do a lot of damage on their own. The only difference is that Moroi and Dhampir are born; Strigoi are made. Basically, think about the kinds of vampires that people are more well-versed in as being evil, can't be out in the sun, and power hungry, and that's them.

[vampirebrat]

Doubt it. But feel free to hope.

[He wasn't exactly the type of person who made friends so casually. For now, he listened cautiously to what Rose had to say. It was all interesting and he marveled at the difference and similarities of their worlds. Theirs however seemed to be governed by classifications induced by birthright and not immense power and lust for conquest.]

Among you, who are the leaders and how are they decided upon?

[violencefirst]

Not like you were easy to befriend in the first place.

[Simply shrugging.]

It's an elected monarchy if that makes any sense. Most Moroi are from royal families, but the term "royal" is used loosely in the society. Not all Moroi are royal, but most are. There are a few conditions for eligibility, but when the current ruler -- currently that is Tatianna Ivashkov -- steps down for whatever reason.... the families have to go through a process to be elected in and a series of tests.

[It took all of her will power not to flat out call her a bitch at the mention of Tatianna, but she managed.]

[vampirebrat]

If you already know that, then why struggle to be my friend in the first place. I do not understand.

That doesn't make sense to be honest. Monarchy should be built upon a leader seizing power for his own. Where only his bloodline should succeed his rule. Stepping down from such prestige is highly ridiculous.

[violencefirst]

Not like you've ever really understood stuff like that. You may be a pain in the ass sometimes, but you were still one of my closest friends at Wonderland. Even if you don't remember me, the fondness is still there and I'm willing to try again.

[Not saying that he's one of the few people she respects and can talk to though.]

Let's just say most of them don't step down willingly.

[vampirebrat]

I find the endeavor useless to be honest. But, suit yourself. If you will insist, and I'm sure you will. And I'm sure you're familiar with the rules when dealing with me, yes?

And they shouldn't have to, really.

[violencefirst]

For the most part, yet. But I'm sure I've forgetting some things.

[vampirebrat]

No nicknames for one. It's embarrassing enough the royal pain has to use it on me.

No overly affectionate physical responses, ever.

[violencefirst]

Oh, well... Whatever you say, Duzie

[Yeah, she's never going to let him live that down.]

[vampirebrat]

Don't test my patience, little vampire.

[violencefirst]

Test what? I don't know what you mean.

[vampirebrat]

No one calls me that.

Only one person, and I'd like to keep it that way.
