The dance of a Vampire

 

The dance of a vampire is a truly beautiful and magically thing. But none have unfortunately kept memory of it or they have thought it to be just a dream. The horror of it and the magnificence's is so shocking it puts all into a state of awe which seems almost impossible to leave once you are in it. The passion of the blood, the movement of the flames, it consumes the soul slowly until none can escape its spell. It's curse.

 

The sky was a dark hue of purple, but was covered in a mist of black smog. The ground was alive with the dances of the red and yellow flames which seemed to consume all. The music they danced to was the horrid screams of all those within the flames. There was no escape for them. Their songs of terror filled the air. As the sounds of metal clashing added to the passion of it all. The sparks that flew from the contact seemed to fuel the flames and make them dance even more wild. Their dance was unruly like that of an animal that could never be tamed. The passion seemed to increase with the more screams were heard and the clashing become more hurried and fervent. And among all of this were creatures seemingly feasting off of all of the terror in the air. They ran among the dancing flames and seemed to consume all of the terror of the screams memorizing all of it. Seeming to want to keep all of this with them for eternity.

 

It had begun. And they were gathering. The dance of the vampires was to begin. And one would stand above the rest. The queen of the vampires would be chosen by the end of this bloody festival. Their black forms filled the skies. No more could the purple hue be seen. It was consumed by the thousands upon thousands of creatures that now filled the air. Coming to the feasting grounds. They came down seeming to cover the whole land in black all life seemed to have left that place. Not even the grass dared to be green with life. Everything was now withered and blackened. But they still continued to come. They continued to fuel that passion of the fight. Blood coated much of the grounds while the bodies were being consumed by the dancing flames. The scent of the burning flesh and heavy smoke filled the air. The black beings began to gather closer and closer together only leaving death in their wake. They moved between the flames they to seeming to join in the dances of the flames. Basking in the sounds of terror. They spoke but not with words but rather with grunts and growls.

 

Slowly the creatures seemed to be making a pattern. They were all circling around something in the center of all of the chaos. Movement in the very center of the flames and death. There stood the one none of them dared to challenge. The one that had power over all of them. Though covered in blood and gore it only seemed to enhance her beauty and made her seem even more powerful and elegant. They all danced around her seeming to worship her with their eyes as they made sacrifices to her. They brought all living things before her so that she might judge them. Chants seeming to come from the gathered vampires to her asking for her to show her judgment to give them her power. Looked on with a passion that seemed to consume them. They all hungered for just a glimpse for just a taste of that power. The ability to stop time itself. To be able to plunge the world into eternal darkness. They all hungered for this but none dared to ask such a thing of her.

At last the moment all of them had been seemingly waiting for happened. The black clouds in the sky started to swirl and become that of a giant spiral. Slowly becoming a tornado and coming down to touch the ground right in front of their queen. Flames shooting out when it touched the ground seeming to create a new chaos all its own and many of the creatures scattered for fear that they might be consumed into it and never return. And out of this chaos came another being. Seeming to be of just as much a stature as the woman that stood before her. Commanding just as much respect as the creature of the night that stood before her. Who claiming immortality during such a night as this was now to either be forced to win that claim again or give it up.

 

The rest of the vampires seemingly shrunk back in fear just from the power they felt radiating from the two. But dared not leave for the thought of missing such an important blood bath would drive them insane. They were consumed with their blood lust. Their eyes glowed a horrid red with such a powerful lust controlling them. They all seemed to be waiting for their cue that they could feast. That they could satisfy the horrid lust for blood. That they may start the dance of their souls. The dance of the vampire.

Both stood for what seemed like hours just staring at each other as if trying to win just by the passion in their eyes. Then both slowly drew open their lips bearing their fangs in a smile that could drive any living creature into a fit of fright. The air about them seemed to come alive at this and spark and sizzle around them. Their hair floating about with its own life as well reaching towards each other begging their masters to fight. The two slowly seemed to be lifted into the air the power around them becoming so powerful it could be seen as soft hues of blue and purple. They created oceans of purple and blue around them selves and then the blue and purple started to clash against each other as if they where waves beating against each other. The waves of power fighting for dominance. But still the two where lifted higher and higher into the air. At their feet growls and hisses could be heard like music for them to dance too. All those gathered seemed to entranced by the sound they began to move in patterns at the women's feet. Some took to the sky and moved with in the waves of power others stated on the ground and moved with the feeling of the power clashing against them.

 

The queen and her advisory now began to circle each other seeming to follow the music of the hisses and growls of the others. Looking to all as if a couple dancing. Each at times reaching out and trying to slash at the others often bearing their fangs. Then as this went on they began to become more fierce and would try to bite each other. Trying to draw out each others borrowed blood. The blood that kept both alive. Their life blood. As time went on both seemed to be consumed by the blood lust of those below them and both their eyes glowed a deep red. And moving faster and faster so that to those below all they looked like was a blur. The faster the two moved the louder the vampires chants became and they seemed to be dancing more fiercely. Making their patterns more complex and intricate. Then in all the chaos of the lusting a scream pierced the air. All seemed to stand still. And look to the sky at the noise. Knowing their queen had been chosen. And their in the sky was the advisory with her fangs deep in the neck of the once great queen of the vampires. Slowly the body of the queen turned to dust and was blown away in the wind. Her advisory let out a howl of victory and all around now bowed to their new queen. Then continued their dance to worship her. She was now their life. She was their only reason to live. Their reason to kill. She called upon her powers and filled the skies with her powers. Calling out the demons of hell to join them in their dance. Full filling all of their wishes and plunging the world into eternal night. And the chaos then swallowed them all with their lust. Their lust of the dance. The dance of a vampire.
