"Oh?there's a horse here.whos a good girl."
The man in a brown cloak said while stroking her head slowly grabbing her lead rope.
"We have been travelling for days weird to see a rope in the middle of nowhere no?"
One of the men said to the other who was stroking the horse.
The man looked back in annoyance.
"We,have traveled from Toledo,the journey has been a long one consisting of most of the winter months and now we are in spring."
The other man raised his eyebrows "yes,but we find a horse in the middle of nowhere?use your fucking head."
The other man seemed to harbor no hate to the insult as he nodded his head they both got there swords out as they looked towards there surroundings.
Endless trees and bushes and land that seemed it would go on for miles.
They were informants from Toledo sent further east on there journey to Alicante.
They were travellers who made there living off the coin and had decided to travel near the start of the year.the late winter seasons but still cold and hazardous.
It was now spring in the 4th month of Julian Calender in 1672.
*whoosh*
What seemed to be the wind flyer by but both me detected a presence.
They knew the difference of wind and when someone was there and they knew it was somebody or something.
Lucas swirled around in a loop like analysing his prey.with a blue ring on his finger and a sword on his sheets with a golden emblem at its hilt.
"Who goes there!"
One of the men alonso shouted.
"We,have food and water to drink so come out now!"
The other one said.
Lucas couldn't help but smile as he stepped out into the open.
The men gasped it was no so common in western central Spain to see men go over 6 foot like eastern Spain but what they saw shook them to there core.
a man in a brown cloak like there his eyes had black veins coming down from them as his eye sockets were red and his fangs showed both the men had horror written on there face as if they had seen the face of death itself.
"AHHH!ITS THE DEVIL!THE DEVIL!OH LORD HAVE MERCY!"
Alonso said as he got a cross from under his cloak and kissed it.
Lucas looked and couldn't help but laugh in his head 'what so now your religious.i would ask these guys for information but I'm just so hungry.'
Before anyone could say anything a vicious scene occurred as Lucas bit into alonsos tongue with unatural superhuman speed.
"Ahhhh!"
His screams couldn't be heard in the middle of nowhere as his freind watched in horror.
His freind charged at the demon like being as Lucas unsheathed his sword and sliced his neck he then began feeding of of him to.
He drained both of them dry.
There body's fell to the ground and it woudnt be long before insects found them.
'FUCKKKK!MORE!MORE!MORE I NEED MOREEEEEE!'
His brain shouted as he grabbed a knife and stabbed himself repeatedly with superhuman speed he groaned and dropped to the floor.
The wounds healed themselves quickly as his eyes turned back to normal and his fangs disappeared.
His clothes where bloodied.
'Now this is going to be a problem.'
He sighed as he looted the dead men.
He found gold on them and more jugs of water and took the cross of one of the men.
'I could sell this for a fortune.problem is my clothing.ill have to go to the villiage like this and say I hunted bandits who knows if they'll believe me.'
He took what he could with the eneraged stomps of the horse her lead rope attached from a tree almost about to break from her fear.
Lucas flashed his fangs at her which seemed to silence the horse and then began stroking the horse.
"Shhh it's okay,it's okay next time a random person tries touching you though do feel free to trod your hoof on the ground."
He said as he laughed and she looked at him as if she no idea what he just said.
He then unattached her lead rope to the tree and began riding on it now carrying more loot more gold then he did before.
and a full belly!
actually he wasn't full his hunger hadn't nearly been satisfied but it was enough to sustain his happiness for now.
So Lucas continued on his journey south to Alicante.
1st pov Lucas
I was riding on my horse as I thought about all the knowlege I had.
'Currently I'm in the kingdom of Valencia which is under the crown of Aragon from what I can remember from my previous life….shit…wait…ok..ok so south of Alicante is kingdom of murcia and further east in the Mediterranean I would need a ship which costs a lot of gold itself one of the main reasons I'm going to Alicante
Also the fact that from what I can remember it is a more populated area where many rich merchants reside.
Further west is central Spain under kingdom of Castile which is in a little political war if I were to go from there to Alicante there's no telling what kind of people I could encounter there and I would rather not be involved in a war that could kick off.
But if war means I can fight on a battlefield then I can freely kill others that would be great.
But I would need to travel in the spring seasons and get there before winter.
I'll have to think about it for now let's hope I encounter some more bandits so I can have a nice blood binge going down south.
3rd person Pov
What could only be described as a massacre bodies going south of endless land.
To others it would seem as if someone was killing people while going south endlessly on a journey to nowhere!
But to Lucas who had enchanted senses he knew exactly where he was going.
He had alot of fun massacring bandits on his way to a villiage as he had feasted upon there bodies and looted them for there gold and stolen there items.
Now he was closing in on the villiage as he was only a mile away
Lucas 1st pov
And a blood binge it was!
I could see the villiage in plain sight.No!town?!
Ohh.only one explanation
Gandia!
I thought there would be a villiage nearby to a coastal town.but another town?
From what I know Gandia has a noble keeping watch over it at all times let's hope they let me in.
As I approached the main road I saw wagons carts and a few people walking on the main road.
They looked at me in a weird way but quickly took there gaze of of me.
'Good,they know it is bandits blood.probably common to get adventures travelling through here a lot that had killed bandits on the way.'
3rd person pov
Lucas waited in the long line of people ready to enter the town and stood astonished in awe.
as he got even closer from the main road he saw many merchants coming here.
'Most likely also on there way to Alicante.'
He thought in his head as he was distracted by one of the guards.
He gave them 10 gold and received entry into the town.
He looked astonished at the view is was fabulous but he was still getting alot of weird stares.
Better to find a tavern and get a change of clothes and a warm bed to sleep in.
As he travelled he was offered some food and fruit to which he humbly denied there offer.
The reason why Lucas was so astonished at his surroundings was his enhanced senses which he was still getting used to.
Veins almost sprouted from his eyes before he looked away and closed his eyes and then re-opened them again.
'I have to control this bloodlust!'
He then entered the tavern to see people drinking and talking and ordered some wine for himself and began drinking and making conversation with others.
"You,look like you need a change of clothes."
One of the old men said as he laughed like a drunk.
Lucas grinned "And you look like you need a women grandpa go get someone to warm your bed."
The man laughed "your funny kid you come from up north?"
Lucas nodded his head as the man continued.
"I knew it!well your best bet is going to Alicante kid and leaving here fast!"
Lucas raised his eyebrows "any reason why?"
The man gave him a dangerous look in the eye as he said "there's a war coming here very soon west of here in central Spain there is already talk of it and news travels quickly!ever since then everyone had been travelling from west and is looking to sail a ship on a coatal town.
Most are going for Alicante.
He said as he finished his cup of ale.
But before Lucas could respond he passed out.
He finished his wine with a thoughtful look as he left the tavern.
