Chapter 2: 2) HISTORY OF THE DARK CONTINENT
The place where Diana and her husband used to live was on the outskirts of the Death forest which was on the dark continent. It was huge and different races existed together. The dark continent was mostly populated or ruled by the elves directly covering half of the continent. The most potent race after the elves in terms of power was werewolves. Vampires also existed too but they were low in number and stayed isolated beyond the Death forest. But the vampires were actually not like this and the dark continent didn't use to be peaceful as it was to this day.
500 years ago, Vampires were a naturally bloodthirsty races and were feared by all the races as they were immortal and had only one weakness which was the sunlight. Their pale white face with glowing crimson red eyes with sharp fangs made them the most beautiful yet the evilest race. Their super speed with lots of magic power made them the most powerful race in the dark continent. Vampires were infamous and known as the most ruthless race because they needed blood to ease their hunger. Their crimson red eyes could easily see their preys miles away and their sharp fingernails could easily rip away their prey and enemies into shreds.
They were too violent in nature too. Pride was deeply rooted in their blood and veins. They used to claim vampires to be the most powerful race. 500 years ago, the dark continent was tyrannically ruled by vampires. They killed and drank the blood of all races like humans, witches, werewolves and other beasts. Werewolves and witches were vampires most hated natural enemies. If one of them met the vampires, they would fight to the death in which vampires mostly won because they were immortal and couldn't die.
But suddenly the new race called elves came into the existence in the dark continent. None knew where they came from but they started to live in the northern part of the continent. The northern part was a deserted place with no signs of life. Its only significant thing to remember was the huge tall tree which never grew leaves. Elves were friends of nature and prayed to the nature goddess. After the elves settled there, the northern part became the most beautiful part of the dark continent. The place became full of life with greenery everywhere. Different rare flowers and plants started to grow and many magical beasts started to live there. All of the dried rivers and streams were flowing with clear water. The huge tall tree which never grew leaves was full of leaves. It covered a large area and all the elves lived in that tree. They called that tree, the tree of life.
The elf king had the power of nature and supplied magic to the tree of life which in turn provided nourishment to the forest and increased the life span and power of the elves. The elf king was blessed by the nature goddess and had an unlimited amount of magic.
The power of the elf king was like a double-edged sword. If the elf king was pure and clean, the elf race would be the most powerful race but if the elf king got corrupted by the darkness, the elf race would cease to exist. So, the elf king was chosen very carefully.
Elves were natural-born archers and were famous for their agility and speed. They were also popular for their beautiful appearance. They had long blonde hair, long pointed ear and a tall slender body. They were nowhere below the vampires. Vampires were evil and beautiful whereas elves were the total opposite.
Vampires as always tried to capture the northern part and the elf king because of their selfish desires. Drinking the blood of the elf king would make their magic never be depleted plus the blood of the elves was most delicious. But no matter how much they attacked, they never got succeeded. They were rejected by the forest every time before entering which looked like the forest had a life of its own. While the vampires couldn't enter the forest, elves would shoot the arrows from inside the forest. For the first time in history, vampires suffered heavy loss. Many other races were surprised how the elves managed to kill the immortal vampires.
When the vampires were at loss, many other races also tried to suppress them. Soon the vampires' other weakness after the sunlight was revealed by the elves. After long and bloody wars for years, they all finally made a peace treaty. All the races would have their own territory and nobody was allowed to attack each others territory. Unnecessary wars and misunderstandings would be solved together by all the races. Vampires being in the most disadvantageous position and the most hated race by all other races, gained the small territory beyond the Death forest. Vampires weren't allowed to move freely except in their own territory. Vampires would have the least magical resources as the land they got had extremely low magical resources. Elves stayed in their northern part while the werewolves covered the mountain regions. Witches lived in the forest of the south and humans lived in the east.
Vampires gritted their teeth as they lost half of their territory. Their hearts were full of hatred as they shifted to their territory. They didn't know how the elves discovered their other weakness, they would also die if their heart was pierced with the silver. They had kept it hidden for so many years successfully but now everyone knew. But fortunately, their territory was also best for them. It was always dark where sunlight could never fall because of all the dark energy radiated by the Death forest next to them. Vampires were naturally good at dark magic so they never attacked other races after that. Although they loathed all of them, they needed to recover their power and magic first.
The place where vampires lived was called the vampire kingdom. After such face slapping defeat and humiliation, they all trained themselves. They stayed in silence until that day, the day when they all received the instinct in their blood and veins. The fear and suppression of the absolute power where they must bow and submit to that power. Yes, the new vampire king was born.
