Luke Cage Willis Stryker

A mountain, once a towering monument to man's ambition, now sobbed rust and decay. Its skeletal skyscrapers clawed at a sky choked with ash, an endless darkness that reflected the desolation below. Here, where survival was a brutal equation of scavenged scraps and desperate violence, whispers clung to the crumbling ruins like the ever-present dust. Whispers of a legend, a shadow lurking in the deepest, forgotten heart of the mountain: a monster. They called him the Blood King, a name hissed with fear and reverence. Not just another vampire, but a predator whose power had once threatened to consume all of man-kind. He is said to be so great that no one was a match to his strength, his wrath so terrible, that the ancients themselves, the very inventors of their shadowed presence, had deemed him too dangerous to roam free. They imprisoned him, not in chains of iron, but in a cage of blood. A cage that could only be unlocked by the one whose essence was his destined key, his chosen one. A cruel contradiction, a punishment designed to bind him for eternity. Unknown to them all that the blood king’s chosen one was a human adventurer, who lived for the thrill and would do anything for a fearful adventure.

Als ich weit entfernt von unserem Territorium von mehreren Abtrünnigen umzingelt war, kontaktierte ich meinen Gefährten, Alpha Luke, per Gedankenverbindung und flehte ihn um Hilfe an. Er lehnte die Verbindung fünfzehn Mal ab und schließlich blockierte er sie sogar vollständig. Am Ende brach ich vor Erschöpfung zusammen und verlor das Bewusstsein, während meine Wölfin vor Verzweiflung heulte. Als ich in der Krankenstation aufwachte, saß Alex, der Anführer eines Werwolfstammes, still neben mir. Er war es gewesen, der meine verzweifelte Gedankenverbindung empfangen hatte. Zehn Minuten später stürmte Luke mit Kristy, seiner sogenannten Adoptivschwester, und unseren Zwillingswelpen im Schlepptau in den Raum. „Hast du dieses ganze Theater etwa nur inszeniert, um Kristy in den Schatten zu stellen? Ist dir eigentlich klar, wie viel Kraft unsere Krieger aufgewendet haben, nur um deine Eitelkeit zu befriedigen? Du bist es wirklich nicht wert, eine Luna zu sein!“ Mein älterer Sohn Chris warf mir einen scharfen Blick zu und spottete: „Wo ist überhaupt deine Wunde, Mama? Du siehst völlig unversehrt aus. Hast du das alles nur vorgetäuscht, um Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen?“ Mein jüngerer Sohn Collin starrte mich mit enttäuschten Augen an. Er schüttelte langsam den Kopf und flüsterte: „Mama, hast du uns schon wieder angelogen, nur weil wir Kristy mehr mögen?“ Kristy umklammerte Lukes Hand. Ihre Stimme zitterte vor vorgetäuschter Unschuld, und Tränen liefen ihr über die Wangen: „Es tut mir so leid, Christina! Ich werde meinen Geburtstag nicht mehr feiern. Aber bitte hör einfach auf, Luke und den Zwillingen Probleme zu bereiten!“ Dann sah ich zu, wie die vier sich umdrehten und ohne ein weiteres Wort mein Krankenzimmer verließen. Ich wandte mich an Alex und sagte mit eisiger und klarer Stimme: „Dieses Mal habe ich keine Zweifel und werde es auch nicht bedauern. Ich gehe! Ich werde mit dir ins Nordterritorium gehen. Und ich werde meine Worte nicht zurücknehmen.“
