The male smiled, his grip briefly tightening on Aralynn before he released her, moving back over to the wall. "hm...well well....where should we begin?" he paused for thought before snapping his fingers. " Ah, I know! But first...." the male grabbed Aralynn's arm before sinking the both of them into the shadows and resurfacing in an old building somewhere on the outskirts of the kingdom. " There we go, we shouldn't be disturbed her. " he spoke as he sat down in a chair. "Now, where were we? Ah, yes, Al. I can't say too much about his life prior to me turning him, but I can tell you about that moment, and moments afterwards. It all began one night- Al was out for a walk around town it seemed, escorting a pretty little morsel. If I hadn't been in need of a suitable host at the time, she would've made for a great snack. However, as I said, I needed a host- and Al had been a perfect candidate. Good in looks, and strong enough to withstand the process- not just anyone can survive allowing another soul to inhabit their body. In most cases, the weaker soul is ejected and moves on to the afterlife. But I wanted someone who could survive, to act as a mask for me, if you will. So i attacked, infecting him with the venom needed to turn a human and feeding him my blood before I myself lost consciousness due to the merge. I'm not sure how much time passed between then and when we woke up in the hospital, but the hospital is where he finally regained consciousness. At that time, I was too weak to take control or say anything- I needed blood to regain my strength, but I couldn't get it until Al stopped resisting. From the moment he woke up in the hospital he was forever changed, but it took a few days until the craving started. I must say, he was quite resilient and strong of mind, but one should never underestimate the instincts of a starving vampire. So when he snapped, it was quite the display- especially since he had to feed enough for the both of us. Needless to say, he was quite bloody when he awoke- and quite horrified. Lucky for him, I had the strength by that point to talk- so I helped him adjust. It was some time before he actually spoke back to me, but he did listen- though of course, at first he thought he was purely going insane. Then came the point where he tried to approach that pretty little morsel I mentioned earlier- to see how she was doing after the incident, once he found out where she had disappeared too. So he traveled there, to see her- and she utterly rejected him. Told him he shouldn't of lived- a demon had attacked him, and there had been too much blood for him to of survived. Yelled at him. Screamed when he tried to tell her different- even tried stabbing him herself- which of course he lived through. Then she ran- disappeared forever- and he snapped. His mind simply broke- the poor thing had been head-over-heels for that vixen. Crazed, and starving after the bloodloss caused by the stab wound-, he ventured to the town he was raised in. Along the journey he attacked countless people, and attacked more in his hometown. He couldn't cope with what he'd become, instead just allowing the bloodlust in a vampire's nature to control him. ....one night, during a brief time of sanity, he visited his family, hoping for some sort of forgiveness or comfort. Now note, his clothing had been long stained with the blood of his victims. Terrified but trying to keep themselves safe, his family took him in- let him stay there, even when he came back with blood on his face. He didn't even notice when furniture and decorations began disappearing from their home- all their important belongings , until the fire. Eventually his family turned on him, assuming he'd been possessed by some great evil, and lit the house on fire. When he ran out the front door, he found a mob awaiting him- the whole town, including his family, waiting for him with pitchforks and torches. Any kind of weaponry you could imagine. Surely you've heard the fairytale " The demon of Argentum"? The story takes place in what is now known as Angel's hollow. They renamed the town in hopes the angels would protect them and keep out the demons. But the point is, it isn't a fairytail at all. The town has long since forgotten that it was real, instead using it as a story to keep their children from misbehaving- but what happened in the tale is true- and Al was the so-called 'demon'. The end of that story was the first time I took control- in order to get us out of their. From their I remained in control until Al was finally able to regain his sanity- and I kept him in check from there. I didn't need another situation like the one in Argentum. Not to say we didn't have our fun- there are several other fairytales revolving around us-as Al never entirely regained his sanity, not for a good century or so., we had quite the time. He played the sweet romantic, drawing the prey in, and I would strike. Partners in crime so to speak. That was, up until he fell for a new little morsel- a pretty little redhead named Selena. She won his heart over with the simple flutter of her eyelashes. I could've stopped it before it even began- but he had to learn sooner or later. He never attended the funeral of any of his ex-friends or family, so he had to learn that mortals would leave in what would be to him the blink of an eye. So I let him befriend that redhead, and mingle with the humans of that town. It was all fun and games at first- he kept his monstrous side from them, acting as human as could be. All good things come to an end however, and eventually those humans began to age while he stayed forever young. So he went to leave town one night, only to be stopped by Selena. She had actually been smart enough to put two and two together- and she wanted him to stay anyways. She had come to meet him alone, but she had told the rest of their little group. So he stayed around- but Selena never returned his feelings. She fell for another man, and when they got engaged, Al left. He would visit from time to time, and they would catch up in secret. Eventually she had children, and as they aged so did Selena. It killed him inside the entire time, watching as she lived her life and aged, eventually leaving him behind when she perished. Yet he stilled cared for her, as much as she angered him. The normal life she had lived was something he could never have, and it finally had occured to him when she perished. He would forever stay young and alive, while those around him would wither. So I led him to my old kingdom, where he could be around his own kind. The idiot still couldn't stay away from the humans though- but he would always leave before they got too close. ' Never get too attatched' became his motto. On the other side of his duality, however, he didn't deny himself the hunt, ridding lands of those who took life for granted. Those people brought out the worst in him- the darkness he had thought he had long left behind. Now, I of course still had my fair share of time in control during everything. sometimes I would be in control for years at a time. Throughout that,however, he found his place among our kind and we came here as part of our assignment, and my plan. When he first saw you, that's when he decided to start denying his nature again when he was in control, so I had to take care of our hunting. " he then made his way over to Aralynn, to whisper in her ear again. " now I'm not sure how much that'll change your perception of him, so how about this- did you know, sweetheart, that Al has turned people in his past? Not even for any other reason than for the company. Some had already been on the verge of death, but some were just humans he had befriended. He asked them if they wouldn't let anything tear their friendship apart, and if they said they wouldn't...well, you get the idea." with that he returned them back to the castle, the same spot they had left from. " Now see, Al isn't as sweet as he seems, is he?" he mused.

At the word king the princess stopped dead in her tracks, and it was all she could do not to let her jaw drop at the word betrothed " My sister? Betrothed? your joking....right? There's no possible way for Aralynn to be betrothed! She's never even shown an interest in alliances through marriage! I distinctly remember a time she downright objected a potential suitor! " the female sat down on a nearby bench. " There...there hasn't even been any discussion of anything of the sort....and besides, we used to tell eachother everything! Surely she would have told me...right?" she spoke with a bewildered look, not really expecting an answer.
