Mewpyre Chronicles: Sarafina

Sarafina, first of the Mewpyre. Queen of her self built empire. Nobody dared question her status, her orders are the laws of the empire. She had everything that many would wish for… except for one thing. Something she had desired long but had no means to gain it without causing an uproar within the empire.

Sitting on her throne she was working the everyday measures that couldn't be handled by anybody below her. While her empire was built in a way that only the most necessary decisions reached her ears, it was tiresome for her. For example the Type Clans… each of these clans represent a single Pokémon Type and each time she handled one of them, another raised up to cause troubles.

The military strength and the technological advances of the empire was able to handle these attacks or war declaration but she really wished the clan leaders would perhaps for 50 or 100 years stay in peace instead of attacking them each time the other failed. While the Fairy Clan had announced decades ago to no longer wield the horns of war, the other clans didn't see a reason to follow suit.

From the resources two clans this time were on the move: the dark and the fire clan. While both were still far from ready to attack anybody, the signs of preparation were clear and the spies reported attack plans at the nearest Mewpyre settlements.

Shaking her head she really wondered why the clans didn't learn… humans did learn and she considers them far dumber than Pokémons when it comes in concern with battle strategies. Seriously! Handing 10 year old boys and girls, creatures of varied danger which were able to evolve to forces of mass destruction in worst cases. Did none of them consider what would happen if for example a Gyrados lost its temper in the middle of a town?

Her trains of thought stopped as Vladimir stepped up to her, "Excuse me Majesty… we got a report from our Blood Center,"

"I thought such a report wouldn't even reach you before the end of the year… not to mention: Why should I bothered?"

"One of the humans captured at the borders… he was unusual!" explained the Elder.

Her ears perked up on this information and she asked, "What kind of unusual?"

The male mewpyre went close and whispered the answer into her ear. A smirk spread on her lips and mused to Vladimir, "Bring this human to me… I want to meet a human with… such an asset."

"As you wish my Queen" told Vladimir and clapped his hands. One of his direct subordinates rushed over to his Elder and Vladimir ordered, "Bring the human in."

Bowing the Mewpyre rushed out of the throne room and only a few minutes later, guards came in with Guil between them.

Sarafina raised from her throne and mustered the human in front of her. While he wasn't the most impressive human she ever saw, she was able to sense the potential within this body… which will be quite an asset for the Empire once flourished properly.

"Welcome human" she spoke. "Not many of your kind had the honor to stand in front of me in this throne room. Everybody else meeting me were in the unfortunate position of being executed or facing me in the battlefield."

Gulping nervously Guil replied, "It… it is an honor, Your Majesty."

"So human," began Sarafina. "Who are you and why did you enter my Empire?"

"I… I am Guil… and I didn't realize that I was walking into the Empire until I was captured" was the humans reply.

"So one of those humans…" mused the queen of Mewpyres to herself. She went over him and the guards backed off, knowing that Guil had no means of harming the queen.

Floating around him she began to tell, "I was told you have something unusual… something that could benefit my empire. Say Guil… what do you think of joining the ranks of Mewpyres, getting more than you could have ever reached if you had stayed away?"

"I… I don't know what to say Your Majesty," told Guil. "I… never expected to have such an offer."

Turning around Sarafina mused, "Of course this is a bit rushed from your point of view… and giving time to think about it would be something natural."

Guil let out a sigh, with his eyes closed. But suddenly a sharp pain was on his neck, his eyes sprang open, Sarafina having her fangs buried into his neck.

His mind wanted the body to struggle, but the bite of the Mewpyre had paralyzed it and a cold shiver ran down on Guil as he felt something were injected from the fangs of the Queen.

Once she let go of him, his eyes began to black out and due to the growing weakness of his body, he fell on the ground… the last words he managed to hear were, "But time to think is a waste… since I don't accept a no! Sleep well…"

Watching the now 'lifeless' body of Guil, the Mewpyre queen licked off her bloodied lips and mused, "He had a good taste… perhaps I should have waited until a few liters of his blood were secured… for a good wine."

Turning to the guards she ordered, "Bring him to a room where he can go through the entire procedure. And send word to Istar! I want her to oversee the transformation by herself! We have here a future Elder in our hands!"
