《The day a new dawn arose.》 The Prologue ¡°Ah, so bored. What am I supposed to do now? Nothing have happened to my sweet little ¡°angel¡± in ages. Guess I have to meddle some¡± Melissa wake up early this day. She woke up from a small sting in her lower body, pondering what this could be, while not able to come to a clear conclusion she started putting her working cloth on. Melissa in her younger days where a very promising young vampire, she had a unique control of her mana and magic, and had never been bested by her aged peers in a mock battle. She could easily handle up to ten vampires at a time, and even two to three lords. Because of her skillset and talent she was pushed into the marriage to the son Claudiu of an important family of Lords at the age of 50, and at the age of 60 she had been tossed out of this house, because of some rather bad rumors and her inability to get heirs. She had been branded a bedserver, from a rumor by one of her husband¡¯s concubines. The rumor said she was engaging in fun times with one of the husbands rivals Lord Ciprian, and as the rival did not care for the truth, he said it was true, as it would drag down Lord Claudius pride (Husband). Pride means a lot in a vampire¡¯s society, and that especially for the lords. Melissa was shunned from her society, refused access to her former parents and had lived alone in a cabin outside of town as a farmer for over 150 years. She had accepted her status in the hierarchy and stopped fighting the rumors and giving up rather early. This day though seemed different. The pain she felt had subsided and she started her day like any other day. Watering the crops and feeding the animals. She looked towards the sky, enjoying the sky before she went in to her house to make breakfast. As she made breakfast, she suddenly experienced her house shaking, and a big sound come from the outside. She readied her spells, in case there is some danger, walked towards the door then opened it. She saw a black haired handsome man standing outside of her door with a vicious smile, she could feel that he was no vampire, but tried to communicate either way. The man did not answer the woman, and tried to take a hold of her arm. Melissa quickly used a spell and the room got entirely dark. She summoned some of her dead animals to help her and prepared a huge black sphere to attack this entity. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. The only thing visible in the current area was a pair of red eyes which belonged to Melissa and a pair of yellow eyes who belonged to the handsome man. The man said some unknown words, stomped to the ground and stopped all of Melissa¡¯s spells, the area was now as was before, you could see a door, a house and two entities close to each other. He showed some teeth, took a hold of melissas neck and tossed her hard towards the wall, as she hit the wall, it crumbled and she still flew a few metres. Melissa barely avoided fainting and started preparing a new spell, as the man came closer, and took a hand towards her thigh, she used a dark, flame, burning of the mans hand. As the man screamed in pain she started preparing the same spell, trying to cast it towards his head. The man was gone, put a hand on her head from behind and said some words.She lost all her powers and fell to her knees. He tossed her hard towards the ground and started removing her cloth. She started screaming, as she understood what would happen. Her last bit of pride was going to be removed before she died. She was going to be raped. ------------------- After the act, the man put her tongue towards her chin, said something unrecognizable, smiled then fell unconscious towards the floor. Melissa tried to muster her strength and finish the man. Nevertheless, unable to use her magic she started hitting him, unable to hurt him with her physical powers, she tried to bite him with her teeth and suck his blood. As she was able to do this, she was able to regain her magic, she started to burn the man up with her black flame. then she went back in to her house, sat down in her bed and started crying. 5 months later, she was certain. She was pregnant. She had tried to bare a child with her former husband for 10 years, unable to do so. The lords had told her that because she had received so many powers she had lost the ability to have a child. However, what is this then? Why was she pregnant? She was not sure of what to do. But after over a 100 years alone and hated she actually decided to keep the child. She now had a new reason to live, even though the reason came was brought from pain. She could experience love again. Prologe 2 A short while after Melissa figured out she was pregnant she started to improve her small house/cottage. With a new life being born, she would need another room for the life to live in. She took down the wall she had rebuilt after the fight and started working towards adding two rooms. She wanted to have one living room and one sleeping area for her child. Melissa started hunting for wandering merchants to get a decent price for her spare crops. It was a rather tough occasion. This proved to be as expected a hard task, since vampires was one of the most disliked species in the world. -------------- As one of the few species that could take their nutrition from blood and other beings magic power vampires was very disliked. This hatred towards the vampires was promoted 10 years ago when an adventurer team on the hunt for missing people found a very big vampire farm. This farm contained almost 100 missing people, some had been there 5 years and even had children. Since one of the great lords owned this farm and they used the farms to make bloody delicacies, the entire case blew up. Unable to get a hold of the perpetrator a short war between the human kingdom of Lindum and the Vampire society broke loose. Nothing really happened though, since this war was more a show made by the human king to keep the people calm and happy. It was said in the vampire society that no losses had occurred during this entire war. If you took a trip to the human kingdom, you could hear the people talk about the devastating loss the vampires had and that they finally drew the white flag and gave up. --------------------------------- After a month of chasing merchants, Melissa was able to get a hold of a merchant who was willing to take her goods. The Merchant Melissa was able to get in contact with was a serious man from the beast nation Goratia, He was a of the sub specie Bearman and had worked as an adventurer. Unfortunately, age was getting closer for him and after he took an arrow to the knee, he had started working as a guard. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. However, he was unable to enjoy this slow and stable lifestyle. His animal blood was screaming for movement. Therefore, he figured he should try a new life as a merchant. ---------------------------------- When Gron the bearman first met Melissa he was actually happy. This was the first city he had visited where he had made quite a decent amount of money. What he saw in the eyes this poor woman with a small bulge on her stomach was a will. An unbreakable will. As he studied the woman, she started talking to him in a very careful manner. ¡°Hello mister, my name is Melissa. I can see that you are a merchant and I was wondering if you would like to take a look at some of my crops.¡± ¨C Melissa With a strong and rumbling voice Gron answered. ¡°Hello, Gron is the name. If you wish to speak business, I would like to see what you have to offer. I will be leaving towards the next town in a few days so if the quality is good I can give you a fair price.¡± - Gron He could now see the woman¡¯s eyes tearing up and a small, but careful smile was starting showing on her smile. She then stated with confidence ¡°Thank you for being willing to see my goods, I can assure you, you will be pleased. ¡° ¨CMelissa Gron then answered with a smile ¡°Hoo, dear. Could you show it to me now then or do I need to wait for you to prepare it?¡± - Gron ¡°follow me then.¡± ¨C Melissa Gron followed Melissa down the road and after a few minutes, he could see Melissa¡¯s cottage. During the half an hour they moved down the road he had tried to ask her why she lived that far away from the city, but after the look at her face he gave up on his inquiry.
