"M- Medusa!"
Kayden did not expect the succubus to actually considering Aiden's words. Her turning around and avoiding Kayden was something he never really thought would happen. Because according to him Medusa would never leave him no matter what. Now suddenly she was avoiding him, although deep down Kayden knew he was wrong.
'She is right to behave like this. I have been constantly using her since she had arrived. It's her right to get angry and ghost me.'
He admitted his problematic behaviour and the way he treated Medusa. However things did not seem to be in Kayden's control, he was unable to function without hurting the next person.
After all, his life had turned upside down in just one night and he was still unable to comprehend his need to follow up with things. Kayden was under the influence of thirst for power and it blinded him regarding the feelings of others. All he could think was how to explore his powers and to control the existing outbursts.
Kayden was in his own reverie figuring out what to say to Medusa to make it up to her. The principal who was unconsciously laying on the floor had now started to move. His fingers showed some movement although his hands turned inside and eyes pitch black. It appeared as if he was completely lifeless yet still able to crawl.
On the other hand Medusa and Kayden were occupied in figuring out their mess, and totally ignored the presence of the principal. The principal supported himself on palms and got up from the floor. His cheeks had already sunk, making him appear extremely weak. He looked no less than the zombie in the movies, his skin had blackened and wrinkles appeared on arms and hands.
"I….Medusa you believe in him? Don't you?"
Kayden questioned in a whisper but his tone clearly indicated that he was distressed with the thought. However Medusa could feel the pain in his tone but could not bring herself to believe if it was genuine or not. Because it had already been twice that her trust was broken and the only person to get hurt was Medusa.
"Give me a reason no-"
Kayden's speech was interrupted by something that even Medusa was stunned by. The succubus turned around after Kayden became silent. Both of them froze in place when Kayden finally realized that it was someone's hand on his shoulder. Medusa gestured to him with her eyes to look back, the sight made her breath hitched due to the unusual effects.
"What the heck!?"
The principal's hand was on his shoulder which Kayden immediately jerked off and stepped away from him. Medusa created a distance between her and the elderly vampire. She could not believe her eyes that the prophecy was actually true. But it was not the time to disclose it because Kayden still had to chose his destiny.
The principal groaned in agony as he walked towards them with his hands lifted up like a zombie. Kayden reflexively looked at the succubus with confusion because according to him the effects were caused by her snake hair. Medusa on the other hand was thinking and keenly observed the old principal's body. She knew something and possibly had a vast knowledge regarding what it could be.
'It can't be possible! My snake bite should have just turned him into a stone. It's because of his demonic powers which mutated mine.'
Medusa glanced at the principal's hands and saw the pores oozing blood. But instead of blood droplets being spilled on the floor, they evaporated into dust particles. Medusa was perhaps aware why it happened and it simply made her worried about the future.
'Has he already submitted to the demonic dark side? Does this mean the prophecy has taken affect?
The succubus was staring straight towards Kayden with her own thoughts. Because it was highly possible upon seeing the principal's condition, that Kayden was actually drifting towards being the world's destroyer!
"Do you know what happened to him, huh?"
Kayden turned towards Medusa to inquire about the current state of the principal. The old man staggered with his mouth open and saliva drooling from his mouth. His body had no energy and the life force was constantly draining which Medusa could feel.
The succubus stood there while shaking her head, she did not want to spread misinformation. Medusa acknowledged that Kayden was already disturbed by the disclosure of the dual identity and his peculiar blood. Thus it was not wise to tell Kayden that the prophecy mentioned him as the destroyer of the worlds.
He had to chose one of the both sides either dark or light. Which in turn would help him to figure out his own element. Because the elements in both sections were completely different. And in turn were connected to the blood groups present among literally all the existing species.
- AB positive | Fire element
- AB negative | Water element
- A positive | Wind element
- A negative | Earth element
- B positive | Electric element
- B negative | Thunder element
- O positive | Life element
- O negative | Decay element
The class distinctions were created by the political enforcers to create a status quo accordingly wealth and sources of the families. The family having strong ties with any person associated with the higher ups was respectable. Although only ancient lineages possessed the blood group O either positive or negative. None of those were found even in the powerful families after the disappearance of the progenitor.
Kayden's blood was peculiar and his element was unknown to all the species. Since no one had been seen with the same blood, or perhaps if such people existed they were limited in numbers. Hence Medusa refrained from telling him about the prophecy which could increase his outbursts of energy.
It was evident that he possessed the decaying element along with other perks included. His senses were stronger than Medusa and the charm spell was a bonus magical aura he possessed in his personality.
