Blood of the First Age Characters

The Kingdom of Vahsravia

The Champions of Vahsravia

The Moonlit Kingdom Beneath Storms

Beneath the eternal thunder of Old Elyria stood Vahsravia a kingdom  carved from grief, silver, and immortal blood. Its towers pierced storm clouds like black spears while moonlight danced across cathedral windows older than empires themselves. Humans and vampires walked together beneath crimson banners, guarded not by saints but by monsters who still remembered mercy. And at the heart of that storm stood the champions of the Moonlit Kingdom.

Dragun Vahsravic

Dragun Vahsravic is the Vampire King of East Elyria, Ruler of Noctyra. He came clothed in thunder. The sky itself bent around his footsteps while black bats eclipsed the moon above ancient castles. Kings trembled at the mention of his name, yet peasants whispered prayers to him during the long winter nights. To his enemies he was a demon king. To Vahsravia he was salvation wearing fangs. A swordsman forged by endless war. A storm given human shape. And when lightning illuminated the battlefield the last thing armies often saw was the crimson gaze of the Vampire King descending through the rain.

Its armies marched without fear. Its temples fed gods with blood. And beneath the burning heavens stood the rulers of Molochia the architects of the apocalypse itself.

Baalaniah Mehmeth

He did not conquer for greed. He conquered because he believed mercy had made the world weak. Mehmeth rose from the deserts like a prophet born from flame itself.

Blood of the First Age Story Overview

 

Blood of the First Age

Story Overview

In the ancient world of the First Age, the moonlit vampire kingdom of Vahsravia, also feared as Noctyra, stands beneath eternal storms in the eastern continent of Elyria. Ruled by the powerful vampire prince Dragun Vahsravic, the kingdom becomes one of the last realms where humans and vampires coexist in uneasy peace beneath gothic castles and silver cathedrals.

But far across the Great Salt Sea, a terrifying empire rises in the burning deserts of Baalania.

The ruthless conqueror Baalaniah Mehmeth, known as the Black Sun Sultan, unites the desert kingdoms of Molochia through fire, religion, and mass slaughter. With vast armies, inferno magic, and fanatical followers, Mehmeth begins conquering nations across the western world while ancient prophecies warn of darkness awakening beneath the sands.

As kingdoms fall and entire cities burn, Dragun gathers his vampire armies and launches a massive crusade across the sea to stop Mehmeth before the eastern world is destroyed. What begins as a war between kings slowly becomes an apocalyptic conflict involving: vampire armies, inferno sorcery, celestial prophecies, eldritch horrors and ancient gods buried beneath the world.

During the war, Dragun is joined by legendary figures including: General Zerafin Lumina, the Silver Fang commander, Mordecai Blodskygge, the terrifying executioner who later becomes the Death Reaper, Tenji, the mysterious celestial being known as the Fairy and Einar Winter, the ancient Frostborn child whose power over ice and storms will shape the future.

As the conflict escalates, both sides uncover forbidden ruins beneath Baalania connected to the mysterious Black Veil, an ancient cosmic force tied to forgotten gods and the destruction of civilizations before humanity.

Blood of the first Age chapter 4

  

Chapter 4 - Wings Above the Castle

The storms above Noctyra had changed.

For centuries the skies of Vahsravia had obeyed familiar rhythms: thunder rolling across the mountains at dusk,silver rain falling through the night and lightning dancing above cathedral spires like veins of living moonlight.

The storms were ancient. Natural. Sacred. But now something inside them felt wrong.

Three nights after the Black Feast, the capital could no longer sleep peacefully beneath the rain.

The thunder no longer sounded distant. It sounded watchful.

Across the kingdom, strange rumors spread through taverns and cathedral districts: shadows moving inside clouds, silver figures standing atop rooftops before vanishing and black crows falling dead from the sky without wounds.

Even the vampires grew uneasy.

Animals refused to enter certain streets at night.
Moon lanterns flickered violently whenever the storms intensified.
Children began waking from nightmares speaking of wings above the clouds.

Father Lucian spent entire nights inside the royal archives searching forbidden texts older than the kingdom itself.

General Zerafin doubled patrols across the capital walls.

And Dragun. Dragun stopped sleeping entirely.

The Blood Sovereign stood alone upon the highest balcony of the Crimson Palace while rain poured across the mountains below.

The city stretched endlessly beneath him: cathedral towers, silver bridges and black rooftops disappearing into mist.

Lightning illuminated the storm clouds in flashes of silver and violet while thunder rolled across the heavens like the footsteps of sleeping giants.

Dragun’s crimson eyes remained fixed upward. Watching. Waiting.

Because for the past three nights, someone had been standing inside the storm.

At first he believed it illusion.

Even vampires could misinterpret shapes within lightning and cloud.

But Dragun’s instincts had kept him alive through centuries of war.

And his instincts never lied.

There was something above Noctyra (Noctis Vale).

Something observing the kingdom from within the thunder itself.

Another flash of lightning illuminated the sky. And Dragun saw him again.

A figure stood impossibly high above the cathedral towers balanced upon nothing but storm wind.

Tall.

Thin.

Motionless.

The figure wore flowing dark robes untouched by rain while long black hair drifted weightlessly around him despite the violent winds. Black feathers circled through the clouds nearby like living shadows.

And behind him faintly visible for only an instant

appeared enormous wing-like silhouettes unfolding across the sky.

Then the lightning vanished. So did the figure.

Dragun’s eyes narrowed immediately.

No vampire moved like that. No human could survive those heights.

And no creature he knew stood calmly within open storms.

A cold voice emerged from the darkness behind him.

“You feel it too.”

Dragun turned instantly.

Mordecai stood near the balcony entrance with Widowmaker resting across one shoulder. Rain struck the executioner’s black armor while crimson reflections flickered faintly across his scarred face.

The giant warrior looked unusually tense.

“There’s someone above the city,” Dragun said quietly.

Mordecai nodded once.

“The guards have seen him.”

“Describe him.”

“No one agrees.”

Another bolt of lightning split the heavens.

Far above the city

the figure appeared again.

Watching silently.

This time Mordecai saw him clearly.

The executioner’s hand tightened around Widowmaker instinctively.

The stranger did not resemble any race known in Elyria.

His features appeared almost unnaturally beautiful: pale skin untouched by age, black eyes that turn silver glowing softly within darkness and an impossibly calm expression.

Not human. Not vampire.

Something older. And strangest of all he never blinked.

The figure tilted his head slightly while observing the palace below.

Then he stepped forward. And walked through empty air.

Mordecai moved instantly.

Widowmaker tore free from its sheath with a violent metallic scream as the executioner launched himself upward across the balcony stairs.

But before he could strike

the stranger vanished into black feathers.

The feathers spiraled around Mordecai briefly before dissolving into smoke.

Nothing remained.

Silence returned except for thunder.

“Magic?” Mordecai growled.

Dragun remained staring upward.

“No.”

The king’s voice darkened slightly.

“Something else.”

The following night, the storms worsened.

Massive thunderheads gathered directly above Noctis Vale forming spiraling cloud formations never before seen over Vahsravia. Lightning flashed constantly behind the clouds, illuminating colossal moving shadows hidden deep within the heavens.

The city felt smaller beneath them.

Insignificant.

People began praying openly in the streets.

Some believed the moon gods were angry.
Others whispered the apocalypse had begun.

Inside the palace observatory, Father Lucian studied ancient celestial maps beneath candlelight while rain battered the stained-glass dome overhead.

The old priest looked exhausted.

“These symbols appeared in the old archives after the Hollow Wars,” he muttered.

Dragun stood nearby watching the storm through the glass ceiling.

“What symbols?”

Lucian hesitated.

“The Watchers.”

The priest carefully opened a forbidden manuscript wrapped in silver chains.

Inside were ancient illustrations depicting winged figures descending from black storms above burning kingdoms.

Celestial beings with hollow silver eyes.

Watching humanity from the sky.

“Most believed them metaphor,” Lucian whispered.

“Angels?”

The priest looked disturbed.

“No.”

His voice lowered.

“Wardens.”

Thunder shook the observatory violently.

Candles extinguished instantly.

And suddenly

someone stood behind them.

Father Lucian nearly dropped the manuscript.

Mordecai immediately drew Widowmaker.

Dragun did not move.

The stranger from the storm stood silently near the observatory doorway.

No guards had seen him enter.

No footsteps echoed beforehand.

One moment the room was empty.

The next

he was simply there.

Rain drifted softly around him despite the enclosed chamber.

Black feathers floated weightlessly through the air nearby before dissolving into shadow.

Up close, he looked even stranger.

His face appeared youthful yet ancient simultaneously. Silver markings resembling celestial scripture glowed faintly beneath the skin near his throat and wrists.

His silver eyes reflected lightning unnaturally.

Like mirrors holding storms inside them.

Mordecai raised Widowmaker toward him.

“Name yourself.”

The stranger looked calmly toward the executioner.

Then toward Dragun.

“Tenji,” he said softly.

Even his voice sounded distant.

Like an echo carried across enormous space.

“What are you?” Dragun asked.

Tenji smiled faintly.

“Something your world forgot long ago.”

The room grew colder. Not physically. Existentially.

As though reality itself felt thinner near him.

Father Lucian stepped backward nervously.

“I know those symbols…”

Tenji glanced toward the old priest.

“Yes.”

His silver eyes darkened slightly.

“You were never meant to remember them.”

Mordecai took another step forward.

“You entered royal grounds uninvited.”

Tenji ignored the threat entirely.

Instead, he walked calmly toward the observatory window overlooking Noctis Vale far below.

The city lights reflected inside his silver eyes.

“Beautiful,” he whispered.

“Fragile.”

Dragun watched him carefully.

Every instinct warned danger.

Yet the stranger carried no visible hostility.

Only sorrow.

Finally Dragun spoke again.

“Why are you here?”

Tenji remained silent for several moments.

Then he looked upward toward the storm above the observatory dome.

Toward something unseen beyond the clouds.

“The heavens are watching the world.”

The chamber fell silent.

Even the thunder outside seemed distant now.

Dragun’s crimson eyes narrowed.

“What does that mean?”

Tenji’s expression became unreadably calm again.

“It means,” he said softly, “that something beneath your world has begun waking.”

Lightning flashed violently across the heavens.

For an instant

massive wing-like shadows appeared moving inside the clouds far above Noctyra

Colossal. Ancient. Watching.

Father Lucian whispered a prayer under his breath.

Mordecai tightened his grip on Widowmaker.

Dragun stared directly at Tenji without blinking.

“And what,” the Blood Sovereign asked quietly, “are you watching for?”

Tenji finally smiled. But there was no warmth in it.

Only sadness older than kingdoms.

“The end,” he whispered.
