Chaos memories flashed through his mind, as he fell into slumber…
Within these memories, fragments of the past which he had been neglecting all this time began to emerge one by one, constantly reminding him of a previous life that the people that made up his body went through.
Since the beginning that he could remember these memories, and as he evolved… these memories only became clearer to him.
But Chaos always thought that those people were not him, that… he couldn't simply try to recognize himself within these memories of a particular Vampire and a Dragon.
They were dead after all…And he was pretty sure that his soul came from another place, he had nothing to do with them except having their bodies fused together into the vessel of his soul.
So why should he care for these memories?
However, as he fell into this darkness, these memories surged like fragments of glass flashing with bright light.
Amidst the darkness, he could only grasp them as his last resort, and delve into whatever secrets they held…
And in such memories, what he saw was…
The memories of a young boy.
His appearance was very much like his, silvery-white hair, crimson-red eyes, pale white skin, and a small body…"A child? Was my body made by the body of a child? Or are these…?"
Chaos continued to delve into the memory fragment, as he saw that the boy walked through a large manor, it looked to have a gothic aesthetic, and was so vast and big it looked like a maze.
"Sis! Sis, where are you?"
The boy spoke softly with a voice Chaos mildly recognized…
"My voice? But..."
The voice was very similar to his own, but slightly different because it came from a boy on his early teens. The boy walked across the entire house looking for his sister.
When he suddenly reached a room and opened it, what he found was his sister sleeping over the bed.
"Geez, you're still sleeping? Come on, sis!" he said, as he softly woke her up.
"Muhh… Just five more minutes! We vampires need to sleep a lot, Daniel!" sighed the girl, as she tried to move away from the boy but failed terribly and ended being woken up by him.
The girl sat down over the bed as she sighed while pouting.
"Geez! Okay, let's go!" she sighed.
The two kids held hands as they walked outside of the girl's room, smiling innocently and cutely, Chaos' heart felt a bit moved by how adorable and innocent they were.
They played around the house and more, until they suddenly came across someone.
"…"
A tall man with pale white skin, crimson-red eyes, and a short white beard.
His old face seemed to be filled with contempt…
"P-Papa…" said the boy.
"Good morning, papa!" said the girl.
"…What are you two doing here? Do you think that Vampire children should play around?" asked the man.
"Eh? Ah… W-Well…" said the boy.
"But we were having fun… it gets boring sometimes…" said the girl.
The man squinted his eyes.
"Instead of playing around you should be cultivating your strength, Vampires are ruled by power, not by "playing around", even if you're children, you need to know that every passing second is a second you could be using to grow stronger. Without the need to eat and by lacking most of the weaknesses that all mortals have, do you truly believe we can leisurely go around as they do?" asked the man rather strictly.
"Sorry father…" sighed the two children.
"Being sorry won't change anything, now show me that you're sorry with your actions, your tutor is waiting for you, today you will be studying more about magic and the ability to manipulate blood… In this world, you cannot really slack off, you must work hard to grow stronger and become someone respectable within our family! Please, make sure to engrave that in your minds, children." Said the man.
"O-Okay… We'll do." Said the boy.
"Yes, father…" Said the girl.
"Now go." Said the man.
The two children nodded as they walked away, moving to their daily classes of magic and more. their daily life was like this, for years, and years, and years…
Eventually, their daily lives changed as they began to go through many other things.
But Chaos wasn't able to see it all, as it was only but a fragment of a memory.
"…What does this means? Why… am I seeing this?" he wondered.
And then, another glass piece fell over his consciousness, making his mind dive into another memory fragment…
There was an arid land everywhere.
The entire landscape seemed to be made of brown dirt and enormous spike-like rocks that protruded from the ground.
And Chaos found himself inside a small little cave.
He had just broken out of an eggshell, and found himself coming out of it all covered in goo.
"Huh?"
He looked around and saw nothing, nobody else was with him.
And as he looked into his body, he noticed he resembled a little baby black dragon.
But unlike the Vampire boy, this little dragon had nobody with him.
He was born alone, in an arid place, dry of any water, and seemingly desertic of any life.
Or so he thought.
"GROAR!"
A massive bear-like monster suddenly emerged from outside, its gigantic paws almost grasped the little baby, but the baby managed to escape.
CLAAASH!
"GROOOOAARRR!"
The giant bear roared loudly, as it tried to get inside the cave, but it was seemingly too big.
The little dragon trembled in fear, running as far as possible, but the cave was small and he quickly reached the limit of it.
All while a monstrous beast roared back at the innocent little pup, its gigantic claws constantly trying to grasp him and tear him apart into shreds…
"Graauuhh…."
The little dragon groaned in fear, trembling like a little thing, it had just been born and it was already about to get eaten…
