A TALE FROM QUIRENNE

Adrianne became restless while in class, she felt that there was something strange around that day. Even their teacher, Belva's actions were noticeably unusual while teaching

'What was with, today?' She asked herself.

They were now sitting inside the canteen. It's already lunchtime. Adrianne has been waiting all day to see if something special will happen, but so far her expectations were not met

Will there be any visitors coming? Or were they preparing for an occasion?

But at the end of the day, there was still no clear answer to her question. Adrianne watched the golden egg while lying on the bed. It was on top of her palms, sitting still. Not that she was mistaken, but for her, the golden lines on the egg were getting thicker and longer. From the symbols, it looks like a tree with spreading roots.

"What kind of egg is that, Abigail?" Mady asked as she finished writing something in her diary.

"I don't know…" The woman answered uncertainly. Adrianne does not know what was inside the golden egg either. It was a big mystery for her.

"A baby dragon, perhaps?" Aella responded after hearing the two girl's conversation.

"Dragon?" Adrianne asked herself. She hasn't seen non yet in her entire life. But then, could it be possible?

"Let's put the egg on fire to speed up its growth!" Mady happy suggested after hearing what Aella had said. She got thrilled to hear the possibility.

"Where are we going to get that?" Aella seconded.

"Hmm... Maybe we can just boil it? "Mady then said as there's no way to get fire in this place. Their building was heavily guarded by the vampire guards.

Adrianne was startled when the egg reacted to what they were saying. It moved slightly on her hands left and right as if trembling with fear.

She smirked as a smile lingered on her face. Adrianne nodded, "That's a good plan. The egg's growth would even be faster if we boiled it or we throw it into the fire." She uttered sweetly while her eyes focused on the thing sitting on her hand.

The trembling movement of the egg intensified. The egg wanted to jump out of Adrianne's hands, but the girl held on tightly to it. The thing can't do anything but tremble with fear.

'Where are you going, Aella? Were you going to get some fire? "Mady asked.

Aella shook her head as a response. The woman then stood up from the bed and take quite a few steps to reach the window. Adrianne watched as the girl wrapped her fingers on the curtains, pulling them slowly.

The girl clapped her hands. Revealing the phone, she has held in, earlier. Showing Mady and Adrianne what was inside. "I was just wondering if we can watch the moon tomorrow. Tomorrow was the fourth moon, or rather the blood moon lunar eclipse, I want to see it!"

"Lunar eclipse?" Excitedly, Mady approached the window. "What does the blood moon means..." Confused, the woman sat beside Aella.

"The fourth moon or blood moon lunar eclipse. The blood moon was when there were two full moons in a month and a total lunar eclipse when the moon has a red shadow. All of that will happen tomorrow. And do you know what's the most exciting part? It's only every 500 years! A lifetime experience for us." Aella smiled, putting her hands together to reveal how excited she was.

Upon hearing this, Adrianne suddenly released the golden egg from her hand, placing it on her pillow. There was a legend of the blood moon in the world of Quirenne.

During times when there was no life in the universe and only nothingness accompanied it, powerful energy gradually formed and later on had its own mind— it was God who created everything.

He traveled a long time and descended into a world full of sand. From his body, he created the elements. The fire where the heat from the world came from. The Air that all vampires and humans needed in order to live. The element of earth that became their homeland. And lastly the element of water.

A few thousand years have passed before the god got tired. He wanted to go home in emptiness and rest.

Using his remaining energy, he gave life to the world. Because of the energy provided by the creator, trees and plants sprouted, His last creation was the animals and people who were supposed to take care of the world.

His last breath turned to air. Over time, the elements took on human bodies and established their respective territories. They ruled the people as immortal kings. But despite their leadership, they still could not control their thoughts and actions.

The very first creation, the element of light could not accept the greed of men, he saw how they could destroy the world, they were supposed to care for. He could not accept that for them, he lost his recognized father. That was why he thought of erasing them from the world.

When the other elements learned about his plan, they immediately went to their eldest brother to convince him to stop it. But nothing happened. Gradually the element of light destroyed the lives of many people.

Even the territory of his brothers was destroyed. The other elements could do nothing but work together to fight their brother.

They figured out a way to solve it. If they can't stop the element of light, then maybe they can lock him up and throw him away, They combine their power and make a circular force, With this, they imprison the element of light, and cast it into the heavens.

In this way, the sun king was formed. But because their brother was so powerful, they still can't stop the tragedies that happen in nature. A mortal woman came in the territory of the earth element

If there will be an offering for the element of light, maybe his anger will subside. If he learned how to love, maybe his attention will be turned to others. Thus, the mortal woman became the first offering. The immortal kings have used their remaining energy to send the woman into heaven. And since then, the moon was born and the concept of time.

With the love of the Light king and the immortal woman, the first vampire was born.
