Dammit! I missed Halloween by 3days.


"THE CURSE OF A DEAD MAN"


At the time when Gods and Goddesses rule the world. And nine-headed dragons spread wrath. A young man named Hyakinthos lived an unfortunate life. He was but a lowly peasant whom no one appreciates. He felt that his life was so miserable that on the really bad days he thought of taking his own life. Every day he thought what he must have done to make the Gods anger him so much to make him gain an unfortunate life. And everyday, to his dismay, he could never find the answer.


When he finally got the courage , he prayed and asked the Gods. Appalled by Hyakinthos's  prayer, the Gods sent a curse to Hykinthos that he would receive when he tries to take his own life. Only Morpheus, son of sleep and God of dreams, opposed. So he visited Hyakinthos in his dream to warn him. In the dream, Morpheus disguised as Hyakinthos tries to kill himself. He slashed his wrist, plunged his heart, but he never dies. He tried again and again until he had no more blood to bleed. Hyakinthos woke up in cold sweat. Thinking that it was only a nightmare, he went on with his day.


As was written before, Hyakinthos thought of killing himself on the "badest" of days. And that day happens to be one of them. If not, the worst. It must have because later that day he plunged a dagger to his heart. He bled but never felt weak. As time passed, the pain faded. You'd think he'd died but he was very much alive, He slashed his wrist but he no longer bled. This eventuality must have shocked him for he lost consciousness. And when he awoke, he came to a realization that he just had another nightmare.


As years passed, he saw the people he loved and knew die, one by one. Seeing this, made him realize that he did kill him himself and regrets every minute of it. Being alone made him crazy. He thought that the only way to gain his life back was to gain what he had lost, blood. In his paranoia, he attacked a woman  and drank all of her blood. And when her blood was all gone, she, too, became immortal. Hyakinthos shared his curse, with it was his paranoia. Soon this curse would be named. Soon Hyakinthos's kind would be called "vampires"
