Standing atop the cliff, the hooded woman watched the bloody scene unfolding just below. The two armies fought fiercely. Her long black hair billowed in the wind. Her greyish tunic and cape camouflaged her with the rugged landscape. She spread her hands over the warring warriors, facing each other to death in the valley, reading the future of invader's army’s leader. Another victory, she thought. At this rate the Macedonian warrior will dominate the entire known world in less than a year. The way he leads his army into battle is extraordinary, and that horse of his, what a temper! Admirable. All this power in the hands of one man. A mocking smile crossed her lips. Perhaps I should watch the Hegemon of Greece more closely. 000 Yolie: I wake up dazed and thirsty. I wet my dry lips with my tongue, opening my eyes. I sit up slowly and look around me. The bedding is all messed up, I'm completely naked and... I swiftly pat my neck in fright. Nothing. I look at the pillow expecting
Yolie:We leave the treasure room and Alex escorts me back to my humble abode. (Note my sarcasm?) We near the door and he stops by it.—Inside you will find a new cell phone waiting for you on the nightstand. - He offers.—What happened to mine?—Patrick left it in your bag, on the very side of the street where he picked you up in Havana.That phone was special to me. I had to save a salary and half of another to be able to buy it, but I imagine that "Mr. Golden Statues" wouldn’t understand that king of sacrifices.—Patrick has put a line to it and has inputted his contact number and mine. He has also given you the password for the Villa's Wi-Fi, so you can use the Internet.Great, there are a lot of things I need to investigate. I know he does this not because he trusts me, but because no one would believe me. If I post "Help, a vampire has kidnapped me and is holding me prisoner in Greece!" all my Facebook friends will think I've gone nuts.—Good thing you know, little witch. - He w
Yolie:Mégas Alexandros. WowI'm stunned. Someone brought my lunch and I ate what I couldz but I know I can't put this off any longer. I wanted answers and finally it seems I will get some.Mégas Alexandros.I'm sitting on the window landing with the phone in my hand. I can't believe it. But it has to be him. After all, he's Greek, he's filthy rich, even the age at which he supposedly died matches what he appears to be now, about thirty-two or thirty-three years old.Also, the way he talks, the way he behaves, as if he were the master of the whole fucking universe, must be part of his personality, all those traits can’t have been acquired after his conversion. I turn on the cell phone screen and continue reading.King of MacedoniaHegemon of GreecePharaoh of egyptKing of asiaGreat King of Media and PersiaWhat a string of titles. I only need to include... inveterate womanizer, psychopathic kidnapper and vampire, obviously.Dynasty ArgeadasFather Philip II of MacedonMother Olympia
Kira:My aunt's phone call took me by surprise. She explained to me that the guest of Villa Philipides wants to have a hair done, so i was asked to come to the Villa to carry out the work.Our island is small. In the extreme north lies the fishing village of Santa Eduviges, population of three thousand inhabitants. Our economic income depends fundamentally on fishing and the movement of tourists who each year make extensive tours of these Greek islands.In the extreme south there are at least five private properties, all belonging to the same man, the millionaire and mysterious Kyrios Alexander Philipides. The inhabitants of the town of Santa Eduviges speak of him with such a level of admiration that anyone would think the man is a god.Theos. The guy is rich of course, he's filthy rich and possesses the kind of look that makes women fall like wounded doves at his feet, but he has a reputation for spending no more than a few weeks with each lover. He changes them faster than he change
Alex:I've spent two days staring at my cell phone like an idiot. My companion at "dinner" last night got very angry, Cleo is one of those women who demand the total and absolute attention of the man who is close to her and my constant checking the arrival of messages offended her.Luckily, the Egyptian understood my situation and I managed to win her support. Of the five members of my coven, with whom I have interviewed these two days, she is the only one who has expressed herself in favor of what I want to achieve. Before, a few centuries ago, we would have ended the night in a session of rough, perverted and unrestricted sex. Cleo was more than willing, I wasn't in the mood.Worry has made me return six hours earlier than expected. Truth is, I feel prey of a huge and irrational fear. I know my little witch will be well cared for by Patrick, he will protect her with his life from any external threat; what I’m afraid of is her own fragile mental stability.If too much information is
Alex: Well! …These almost forty-eight hours I have been away from her have served me to realize that the more time we spend together, the more the little witch comes to fascinate me and the more she despises me. So, she has filled up with enough courage to ask it head-on. Mhm, how intriguing. She is so resolved and serious, I have never seen her like this. It's as if her haircut had taken away all her spark, all that energy that makes her so different and special in my eyes. Yolie: He looks me up and down. I don't know what he is looking for but it makes me uncomfortable. I bring my arms to my chest in a defensive posture and wait for his response. His eyes twinkle maliciously. — I need you to perform a ritual. The next moonless night, you will have to dance naked, in the nearest cemetery. Then we will fuck like rabbits in heat on one of the graves and that's it. You will be able to return home. – he smiles. I'm frozen. —If you think I'll do that, you're more insane than I thou
Yolie:Well, the interview with Alex this afternoon ended on a rather sinister note. His warning still rings in my ears. I must say that I was very surprised when he said he is unable to resist me for long, I thought the only one affected by uncontrollable attacks of lust was me. It's a relief to know that whatever is causing this affects him, too.I unbuckle the belt that holds the book covers closed and look at the first page. It is written in intelligible symbols. They are like some kind of runes. I bite my lip. Alex said that the book was sealed with magic and also said that the Sorceress's magic resides in my blood. Before I lose my nerve, I rummage through the drawers of the nightstand and find a box wich contains hundreds of colorful pins.In the movies, every time the protagonists faces a similar situation they take a carving knife and open a gigantic wound in the palm of their hands. Thank goodness this isn’t a movie.I prick my index finger with the pin and squeeze the tiny
He doesn't try to seduce me all the time and I stay on the reading mission for as long as possible.— Is that all? —No.- I take another sip of water and continue.- At the age of eighteen, Yoleandra lost her mother, it was a very sad chapter, the girl did everything she could to save her; she almost died herself trying.—Some time later, she saw a star fall from the sky near her village and, driven by curiosity, she arrived at the place. There she found a blood stone, a tear-shaped one, not very big, I have no idea what she refers to but from that moment on she obtained the gift of sight and was able to see the future, although her new ability had its peculiarities.—Which ones? - Alex asks, visibly interested.—She wasn't capable of seeing a general future, it's difficult to explain but from what I could understand, she only saw the immediate future of one person at a time. And she was never, ever able to see her own.I go back to my dinner and feel emboldened while gobbling up what'
