Vampire's Slice Of Life

1137  Preaching Tribals Life And Death Laws

Asura God Clan.

"Where is the Princess? Where is the Princess!?!" A burly figure rushed in a hall full of well-dressed officials and stomped his feet. "I asked where the hell is the Princess!?!!?!"

"Calm down, Your Majesty. Please calm down."

A lady, more correctly, a vixen, with seductive curves and a veiled face held the burly man's hand and said softly. The man significantly calmed down as she said that while the officials in the room breathed a relieved sigh. The vixen was quite literally half the man's size. She was not short or thin, but the man was almost a giant with how big he was. "Vivienne, where's my daughter?" The man asked softly to the lady. The lady massaged the man's shoulder and made him sit down on a chair.

The officials in the hall gave the man a courtesy bow and left, leaving him along with the vixen. "Your Majesty, you worry too much about her." Vivienne said.

The man sighed and slumped on the chair. "What can I do? She's my only daughter and is quite the troublemaker."

'She is my daughter too…' The vixen Vivienne thought, but did not say it out loud. "Your Majesty is stressing a lot over her lately. In case His Majesty has forgotten, there's the conflict with the Evires that requires a greater attention." "What did the Evures do now?" The man's attention was successfully diverted by Vivienne.

Continuing to massage his shoulders, she said, "They are on high alert for now, but it's confined to their main territories."

"So there should not be any problems?" "No." "Mhmm…"

Vivienne hit the spot and diverted the man's attention once again. As he was more relaxed, she replied,

"It's a trap by them. They have only suffered property destruction in the calamity, and it has been noticed that no personnel were harmed."

"I see…" the man's focus was more on the massage than the message. "The Evures are pretending to be weak and waiting for people to attack them. Starting wars was never their forte, but they are the best when it comes to retaliation. Your Majesty needs to keep this in mind."

The man didn't speak and continued to listen to what the vixen had to say.

"So far, our spies have found three major areas where the Evures are lying in wait. We can avoid those and attack them where they are least expecting us."

"…and where would that be?"

"The main bases."

"…oh? Tell me more."

In a fantastical land full of mystic rivers and towering mountains, a lady with raven hair sat on a swing at the edge of a cliff. The swing seemed to be swinging till the horizon and above a bed of fluffy clouds. Kicking her legs while swinging, the lady had a somber expression on her face. Lately, her mood had not been as jolly, and she seemed to be going through something. She couldn't figure out what it was, but something was definitely bothering her. "This feeling… I've been having it since the time I met that man. Tch…"

The lady clicked her tongue and shook her head. "This shouldn't be the case. Who even is he to cause a change in my mood?"

After many considerations, she came to the conclusion that the man she met a while ago was just a minor fry. There was perhaps more to it than the eyes could see. The lady looked down at the cloud bed and continuing to kick her feet, said softly, "Maybe something big is brewing in the background. I guess I should go check it. This something could be related to my own clan."

Saying so, the lady jumped from the swing and dived right into the abyss of clouds. …..

Midnight Bay. "Huu! Huu! Huu!" A group of tribal folks covered in white ash and wearing animal skin clothes shouted and made an offering. To whom was the offering being made? It was to the three figures clad in all dark clothes, sitting on bamboo chairs atop a pedestal. "Yalayalayala-!"

"Your holiness, please accept this humble offering from the people of !Xan!kan!chi!mo*." Fruits and meat were offered to Lith, Qingshan, and Wang Wei. There wasn't a lot they had to do to become deities for this tribal group.  When Lith arrived at this island, he could see that the tribal folks were worried due to the large amount of predators in the area. Their children were being harmed and their food was being stolen every single day. They weren't powerful enough to defeat those beasts and could only hide in their shelters and pray to the heavens. Lith and his ladies eliminated the predators bothering them, thereby becoming their deities, and now here they were. Their actions were somewhat flashy, but it was alright since this island was in a secluded place, away from Lysander's as well as the Evure God Clan's line of actions. Lith raised his hand as the tribesmen made an offering. Everyone bowed down instinctively and went silent. "Your worship has moved me, children."

The line surely was cringe, but not wrong. Lith was actually older than these guys and could call them children. The language in which Lith was speaking was foreign to the natives, but with the help of some magic spells and artifacts, they were able to understand each and every single word. "You know… life is a never ending bowl of problems. There will never come a time when you aren't in trouble, and times are always going to be tough, no matter what you do. If, one day, there comes a time when you're comfortable with where you are and content with what you have, then… it means you are at the end."

Lith began preaching to the young tribal folk about the Life and Death laws. Life and Death elemental laws were connected. Where Life ends, Death begins. Where Death ends, Life begins. Such was the way of the laws. If one wanted Life, they would have to suffer through endless problems. In Death there was solace, but in Death there was no growth, no pain, no happiness, no spice, and no drama. Death is sitting in a corner, facing a wall, and having no thoughts whatsoever. It was never feeling hungry or satiated or having the urge to go to the toilet or drink water. Death was boring, but some preferred this boring than the active troubles and suffering of Life. Lith preached this group of people about these things for the coming hour and told them that they'll never be trouble free. The young folks listened carefully and were in tears to know that their suffering would never end, but when they heard about death, they began liking the suffering they were going through. They couldn't imagine themselves sitting in a corner, facing a stone for eternity. This would be a torture worse than death for them. Lith then told them that suffering was endless. If they survived their current predicament, there was another bigger one waiting for them. However, with greater adversities came greater benefits. They would be at a place they would never even be able to imagine. It took some time to explain everything, but the folks were all riled up when they comprehended the things Lith told them. Wang Wei and Qingshan were amused by the preachings of their young master. They did not cultivate Life or Death laws and this was all new to them. As the day ended, a feast was held, in which Lith and the two ladies partook. It was a joyous fest and the three god-like figures retired in their straw and mud huts by the lake. Being immortals, they did not need sleep. The three spent their time discussing the steps they would need to take next. There was so much planning going on that Lith was getting conscious of it. However, with how big the situation was, the planning was justified. Every minute spent on this was productive as the enemy was far too big.

As the next day arrived, the three got out of their huts and met with the natives. It was time to teach them what they had to do and cause trouble for Lysander and the Evure God Clan officials on the planet. …..

*!Xan!kan!chi!mo - each (!) in the name represents a clicking sound. The name is made up, but there's actual African names in the world that have the usage of this and written this way.  n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
