       Cesdreal's Rise from the Grave
       By: Raven Tepes Date: October 28, 2021, 2:03 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       [I]March 15, 1786 in the mountains of Romania[/I]
       Anna had taken control and oddly with Shadowstalker’s blessings
       it seemed like. She didn’t wonder long though as she lured a
       guard into her room. Anna: Oh, Mordaki. I need a hand with
       something. Could you come in here for a moment? The demonic imp
       walks into the room just as Anna gets herself into position with
       the stool from the makeup table. As soon as Mordaki opens the
       door, Anna swings the stool down on his head, rendering him
       unconscious. She’s quick to tie up and gag him and then swipe
       the key ring loaded with keys. She then stealthily walks out and
       closes the door behind her. She first makes her way to where her
       soul bound sword was kept and retrieved it along with other
       weapons. Next, Anna then went to freeing all of the slaves, both
       male and female. She handed weapons to Lila and Nadia while she
       directs the others to the weapons. Anna made sure that Tanya
       knew to wait until all slaves were outside including herself
       before using her powers to bring the castle-like mansion. She,
       Lila, and Nadia were going to take care of Cesdreal.
       The three women who consist of a death wraith, an angelic
       watcher, and a Ventrue vampire marched straight for Cesdreal’s
       room. As they got closer, they could hear the sounds of a female
       slave being sexually tortured. The sounds make Lila the angelic
       watcher shiver with disgust while Nadia fought back the urge to
       puke. Anna puts out a hand to steady the other two,
       understanding how they both feel. The three walk up to the door
       to Cesdreal’s room once Lila and Nadia are more stable and
       prepare for the attack. Their plan is to hack Cesdreal into as
       many pieces as possible since none of them had the right weapons
       to kill his body. Anna places her hand on the door and looks to
       the other. She mouths out. Anna: [I]”Are you ready?”[/I] Both
       women nod their heads with as confident of a look as possible.
       Anna then transforms into her full death wraith form and then
       throws open the door. Cesdreal looks at the three women in
       complete surprise and a questioning look as he dismounts the
       tied up female elf on the bed.
       Cesdreal: Girls.. girls.. girls, what are you doing? Wanting to
       role play, are we?
       Anna: Yes, Master Cesdreal. That’s exactly what we want to do.
       And with that said, all three women attack. Cesdreal was so
       surprised by the attack that Anna managed to get the first blow
       by taking Cesdreal’s head with her sword. Lila managed to hack
       off his left leg while Nadia took his right leg. They went to
       town in the attack on Cesdreal like three wild cats. He tried to
       fight back, but the women had gone feral with anger. It seemed
       like hours but the attack only took minutes as Cesdreal screamed
       and howled in horror and anger.
       Cesdreal: What are you doing, you wh*res?! Then Anna hacked his
       head to pieces too.  Finally they were done. Black blood and
       pieces were everywhere in the bed room. Then the blood on them
       started to quickly leave their clothes and body and head for a
       mass of blood near by.
       Lila: Oh dear God. He’s already trying to pull himself together.
       We need to hurry quick! She says as she runs over and grabs up
       Cesdreal’s heart while Nadia strolls over and grabs up his
       manhood. Anna in the mean time set the poor female elf free and
       tells her to get out. She then walks to the door and looks back
       to the other two as they grab nearby cloth to make bags for
       their trophies. Anna and Lila give Nadia a curious, disgusted
       look.
       Anna: I understand why Lila is taking the bastard's black heart.
       Why in Hell are you taking his p*nis?
       Nadia: Because it was only good thing about him that I liked. I
       take it as trophy in honor of triumph over demon scum. She says
       in her thick Russian accent with a sadistic grin of a scornful
       woman.
       Anna: Very well then as disgusting as that is. Let's go before
       Tanya rips this hellhole down with her earth power, go our
       separate ways, and never speak of this again. The other two
       women agree as they put their "trophies" in a couple of make
       shift bags. They then turned and walked out of Dark Hollow
       Manor. Once outside of the large castle-like mansion carved out
       of the mountain side. All of the slaves were now out of there as
       Anna walks up to Tanya. Anna: That’s everyone. Do it, Tanya.
       Tear this place down and make it unrecognizable. Tanya nods and
       uses her earth powers to destroy Dark Hollow Manor. Then the
       women all walk away once the deed is done and go there separate
       ways.
       [i]July 4, 1986 in the mountains of Romanian national park[/I]
       Boulders and ruble begin to glow red with extreme heat and melt
       away like liquid. A demonic looking creature walks up through
       the tunnel that it created with primordial fire. It had taken
       Cesdreal just over 200 hundred years to pull what Anna, Lila,
       and Nadia had left of him.. and he is p*ssed. He turns back into
       his old human form of a late middle age European white man
       though completely naked as his clothes had been destroyed and
       buried. Cesdreal turns around to the ruble that had been his
       beautifully carved home and lets out a roar of anger.
       Cesdreal: Those f*cking b*tches!! Those ungrateful little
       wh*res!! I gave them everything! A f*cking roof! Food! The
       finest clothes, jewelry, and makeup! And all I asked was to be
       waited on and given sexual pleasures!! He shouts at the ruble as
       he jumps up and down here and there as he screams. Cesdreal: And
       how do they repay me?!! They destroyed my home! He stomps and
       kicks a rock near him towards the ruble. My furniture! My
       artwork! Cesdreal grabs and rips at his hair. Cesdreal: My
       statues! They take my f*cking heart.. He looks down at where his
       manhood use to be. Cesdreal: Really?!?! And my f*cking d*ck!!!
       You f*cking wh*res took my d*ck!!!!!!! Suddenly fiery primordial
       flames erupts all over the ruble and begins melt and lose it’s
       ruble appearance. As he begins to catch his breath, Cesdreal
       begins to hear the sound of someone coming his way. Cesdreal
       hadn’t thought about how long he’d been buried as he recollected
       what he could of his body. He hides his lower half behind a
       nearby boulder and makes himself look beaten up.
       From around the bend of a nature trail that leads to the area of
       the ruble appears a young Chinese man of no older than 29 as he
       hikes up the mountain trail. Jian Yinying has his walking stick
       in one hand, a hiker’s pack on his back with a pup tent, and a
       brand new professional grade Nikon camera with strap around his
       neck. Cesdreal quickly realizes that he had been collecting
       himself far longer than he expect when he sees Jian. The strange
       clothes of denim jeans, t-shirt with a German theme park logo on
       it, and hiking boots were all oddities of clothing compared to
       what Cesdreal last knew was in fashion. He finds them intriguing
       as he decides on what he should done next. He speaks in almost a
       whisper to himself as he ponders. Cesdreal: Hmm.. if I’m going
       to track down the girls then it will help to have a different
       face. That way they don’t see it coming. He says as he decides
       exactly how to kill Jian and dispose of the body. Cesdreal then
       raises his voice in greeting to Jian. Cesdreal: Excuse me, young
       sir! I’ve been badly attacked and robbed of literally
       everything. Could you help me? He calls out in Chinese first
       though he’s extremely rusty.
       Jian looks to Cesdreal as he barely manages to interpret the bad
       Chinese. Jian: I don’t understand your dialect. Do you speak
       Romanian? It may help communications better. Jian says in almost
       flawless Romanian while he walks over to Cesdreal in concern.
       Cesdreal: Yes.. yes, I do speak Romanian. Cesdreal says with a
       actor’s friendly yet embarrassed smile. He is liking what he
       sees of Jian’s features: strong, toned muscles with a handsome
       chiseled face. Features that weren’t commonly found 200 hundred
       years ago in this area of Romania. He also thinks it’s about
       time to take on the form of someone of Asian descent as he
       hadn’t done that before.
       Jian: Oh good. Now can you tell me what happened? He speaks as
       he takes his hiker’s pack off while walking over to Cesdreal.
       Jian is a kind soul and seeing someone in what appears to be
       distress always brings the good Samaritan in him.
       Cesdreal: It’s kind of embarrassing, but a madden group of women
       just attacked me out of the blue. They beat the hell out of me
       with clubs, and then stole my clothes and all of my coin.
       Cesdreal says with a charm and embarrassment in his voice in
       which the embarrassment is genuine. He even throw his hands up
       into the air a bit as he speaks to emphasize the part about his
       clothes. Cesdreal: I’m honestly surprised that they had left me
       alive with how brutal the attack was.
       Jian shakes his head as he puts his pack down next to the
       boulder. Jian: I was warned by locals that the mountains are
       cursed so I shouldn’t be to surprised. I figured that the
       “curse” was just to keep people wary of roving thieves and drug
       addicts. He says as he then kneels down to his pack and opens
       it. Jian: Luckily, it doesn’t look like they hurt you to badly
       so my first aid kit should help. I also have an extra t-shirt in
       here and sweat pants that I was planning to wear while camping,
       but desperate times calls for such things. Jian speaks as he
       pulls out a hiker’s first aid kit first and puts it next to him.
       Jian: You’re also lucky that I’m a trained medical first
       responder on vacation. Jian keeps his attention to finding the
       extra clothes with the boulder now blocking his view of
       Cesdreal.
       Jian doesn’t notice when Cesdreal walks over to stand in front
       of him and his pack until Cesdreal’s shadow falls over him. Jian
       then looks up and his face twists in horror to see the bloody
       stump that was Cesdreal’s manhood and stands quickly as Cesdreal
       speaks. Cesdreal: I’m lucky in so many ways except for where it
       counts most with the ladies. Before Jian can get another word
       out of his mouth, Cesdreal grabs his head, and with one swift
       motion, snaps the poor young man’s neck with a sickening sound.
       Cesdreal then lets Jian’s now lifeless body drop to the ground
       as he morphs and shapeshifts into the young man.. still missing
       that one piece that every man has though. Cesdreal growls a bit
       as he kneels down and begins rummaging though Jian’s stuff.
       Cesdreal: I really need to find out which of those b*tches took
       my p*nis.
       As he searched, Cesdreal finds Jian’s wallet and passport. He
       smiles as he sees the name of his new identity and the young
       man’s profession. Cesdreal: Looks like I’m now Jian Yinying,
       trained field medic and antiquities dealer, instead of Daryl van
       Horne. Hmm.. and former Chinese army. How interesting. Cesdreal
       muses as he begins to strip Jian of his clothes and hiking
       boots. Cesdreal: Well I am definitely going to be putting an
       emphasis on the antiquities dealer and less on the military
       field medic. It sounds more profitable. Cesdreal muses as he
       begins to get dressed in Jian’s clothes and boots.
       Cesdreal checks himself over after getting dress in Jian’s
       clothes. He’s surprised by how comfortable everything actually
       feels compared to how stiff everything was for the wealthy in
       the 1700’s. He even likes the hiking boots but still feels that
       it’s not quite his style. Cesdreal: Kid, I hope you have better
       taste in clothes back at home or wherever you’re staying.
       Cesdreal then finds a hotel key in the pocket of the jeans. He
       pulls out the key and reads the tag with a grin. Cesdreal:
       Well.. well.. well.. Looks like he has.. I mean I have some kind
       of arrangements for room at this Pensiunea Poiana Borsa. It also
       looks like I’ll be staying in Borsa. Cesdreal understands what
       an inn is and figured that this must be where Jian had set up
       lodging. He then finds more keys: one step for a rented Dacia
       1310 and the others are to Jian’s home, antiques shop, and car
       in Beijing. With a smile, Cesdreal puts things away and closes
       up the hiker’s pack. He then places the pack on his back and
       begins to way the trail back down the mountain.
       Cesdreal pauses a moment before getting to the bend in the trail
       and looks back to Jian’s dead body. He frowns for a moment and
       smacks his forehead. Cesdreal: Damnit. I just about forgot to
       dispose of the waste. Don’t need anyone possibly finding the
       body while it’s still identifiable. Incineration should take
       care of that. Cesdreal says as a grin returns to his face. He
       raises his right hand towards Jian’s lifeless body. He then
       fires of a blast of incinerating primordial fire at the body,
       and it instantly goes up in flames. The stench of burning dead
       flesh rises into the air as the body quickly burns to ash in the
       intense heat. Cesdreal: Oddly always makes me feel like I’m
       committing suicide. Cesdreal says with a small chuckle as he
       turns back in the direction that Jian had come from. He walks
       down the trail towards the area where Cesdreal hopes that Jian
       had parked. Cesdreal: First, I’ll get myself comfortable and
       adjusted in my new life as Jian Yinying. Then I’ll track down
       the girls. I’ll start with Lila or Nadia first and then the
       other.
       His eyes then glow inferno fire blue as he thinks about Anna and
       how she took Shadowstalker from him. Cesdreal: I’ll leave Anna
       for last. Let her hear about my return. Then I’ll take
       everything from her including my Shadowstalker. His grin becomes
       more demonic as he talks to himself while he walks the trail
       down the mountain side. Cesdreal: Then she’ll understand that no
       one takes what’s rightfully mine without paying for it. He
       begins to laugh maniacally to himself as he walked along.. until
       he got to the parking lot of the Rodna Mountains National Park.
       Cesdreal quickly stopped laughing when he realizes that he’s
       being curiously stared at by an elderly couple. He gives them a
       nervous almost embarrassed look with a charming, sheepish grin.
       Cesdreal: Dreadfully sorry, folks. I was just out here to vent
       some anger and rage instead of taking it out on others. Cesdreal
       says to the couple in Romanian with a little wave as his other
       hand slides into a pocket and fumbles for the rental car keys.
       Old Boian: It’s no problem, but I might suggest a pub and a
       strong stout instead. A pub is always a better place to forget
       things. The old man says with a return of the friendly wave
       which gets him smacked by his wife with her walking stick. Old
       Boian: Hey.. hey.. hey.. I’m just being cordialwith the young
       man.
       Cesdreal: Thank you for the advice, but I think your beautiful
       wife disagrees. Cesdreal didn’t think that Old Boian’s wife is
       beautiful, but his natural charm just slips the words out too
       smoothly. Cesdreal: Have a pleasant hike. Cesdreal gives another
       wave as he pulls out the rental car keys and walks toward the
       with a tag number matching the key tag.
       Old Boian: Good day, young man. Old Boian says as he takes his
       wife’s hand and begins to walk down an easy hiking path.
       Cesdreal makes it to the car and takes a moment to figure out
       which key unlocks the door. Cesdreal: I really need to be
       careful when I talk to myself because that was too close. He
       says as he opens the door of the car and sits down. In his
       distraction with the elderly couple, Cesdreal didn’t even really
       take a moment to notice that none of the cars were horse drawn
       carriages. Now he notices as he sits down and looks at his
       foreign surroundings inside the Dacia 1310. Cesdreal: Well now.
       I should’ve paid closer attention to this detail. Amazing how
       many knobs and switches are inside this carriage, but where are
       the damn horses? Cesdreal looks closer to the inside of the car
       and finds the ignition switch keyhole. He looked at the two keys
       in his hand and remembered that one of them opened the door.
       Cesdreal: I wonder. Has the world advanced so much that a key
       unlocks magic horses to pull this carriage?
       He tries the key that didn’t work on the door in the ignition
       keyhole and turns it, but nothing happens. He then looks at the
       three pedals at his feet with curiosity. Cesdreal: I wonder. He
       decided to press in each of the pedals while turning the key.
       Cesdreal: Come on magic horses! Don’t make me look stupid if
       that couple returns. He finally tries pushing in two of the
       pedals at the same time while turning the key and gets lucky
       that he finally finds the clutch and the brake. The engine roars
       to life much to Cesdreal’s delight and wonder as he begins to
       realize that the car is a machine instead of magic. Cesdreal:
       Well I’ll be Galain’s monkey boy! The damn thing isn’t full of
       magic horses! It’s mechanical! I wonder if it’s steam powered.
       Cesdreal then looks at the gear shifter, taking note of the
       letter “R” and the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 written on the
       handle. Cesdreal: I guess the world has advanced further than I
       thought. How delightful! Now to make this machine move. He says
       as he tries to figure out how to put the car into gear so that
       it will move and drive. He slowly figures out how to operate the
       car as he grinds gears while pushing in pedals. Cesdreal:
       Finding the girls can wait for now. First, I have to learn more
       about how this world has evolved and how long I’ve been buried.
       Then I’ll make them all pay and get my Shadowstalker back.

       picture is his Jian human form.)
