The Immortal Series
Ch1- I, Immortal
Hello dear one. What is your name, mine is Baalthazar of Persia. Or as you barbarians say, Iran. No offence, you are simply not my people. I am as you would say, quite old, ancient as some of my unsuspecting students would say. I lived long before the birth of your Christ, but it seems I am damned by him anyways. I saw the pyramids rise above the desert and the empire die with that little whore of a queen. I know, I seem bitter. But one does become a tad cynical after the fist few thousand years of eternity. I will not always be the one telling the story, there are others, my friend Cartiphilus, Charles of France, Vlad of Romania, and young Nat Tuckett among them. We are an elite society, we are the Immortals. Now we invite you upon our moonlit trail into either enlightenment or utter dispare.
Ch2- Late Again
Nat was always late. He'd been late when he was a young man, one could say he was even late for death. Vlad would surely chastise him aout his tardiness, like some smug older brother. He'd never been done this street before, even though he'd lived in the town for almost ten years. It had been Baalthazar's idea to meet tonight before they scattered to the wind. Immortals only met once every twenty years so that there would be no suspicion among locals. He looked at the text he had recieved from Baalthazar, it didn't make any sense:
'Nat, come to 304 Burg. Rd. will say why later. cart and v come. charly and seley not come. B'
He could understand the message just fine, but for his usually a**l retentive friend to make so many hasty mistakes, something was obviously wrong.
The building was abandoned, no matter. Three people were standing beneath the soft light of the street lamp. He recognised them instantly. The dark skinned Baalthazar, curly haired Cartiphilus and ever brooding Vlad. They each greeted each other in turn.
"What is the matter, by your message, something seemed quite amiss" Baalthazar sighed and placed a heavy hand upon Nat's shoulder.
"I'm afriad something is wrong and it is the reason our dear friends could not be here this night."
"Are Charly and Selene safe? What about Kenji and Toga? Or any of the others?" Nat did not like the look Vlad gave him, it made his stomach churl.
"Do not worry little brother, they are safe, for now." Damn Romanians, always the ones who made you feel worse.
"Vlad! Nat, don't worry they are safe. It was merely not wise for them to travel."
"Why?" Baalthazar looked like a doctor about to deliver a death report.
"Nat, I have bad news, I fear that someone has discovered our secret and seeks to destroy us."
