Chapter 486: An Opportunity
-----
He didn't knew why he had survived, perhaps because he was the oldest and healthiest of the bunch, but through such sorrow his face never changed. His expression was always that of sorrow. Even after accomplishing a? better life when he grew older and ended working for an aristocrat as a farmer of their corps and gardener, he always wore a bitter face, and nothing, anything ever changed it.
One day the house of his lord was assaulted by creatures he had never seen before, half wolf half human beings that began to ravage everything and assassinate his lord and his wife, while he ran away with the little lady he often saw. Perhaps the only little sunshine he had on his life.
He survived however he could, fighting with all he had, the old man only resisted so long before he was torn apart, his arms, legs, and his back, but he still held tightly protected at the little girl, his horrendous life was coming to an end but he wasn't going to let her die without giving away all he had.
The furious werewolves tore him into pieces as his consciousness began to fade away. The little girl cried in sorrow as she saw her gardener die miserably.
"Gustavo! I am scared! Sniff…"
"Nnngh…! Smile… young lady. Don't cry…"
"Ah…! Gustavo… Sniff…"
In the last moments his corpse covered the young blonde girl, as he could had swear, he had died.
However, his heroic act moved the heart of Clementine's father back then, who had followed these werewolf pack and had slaughtered them.
He used his special abilities and revived him from the death as a Vampire, an old man turned into a? Vampire, something incredibly unlikely… but only because he had such a strong heart.
"Now rise, and protect this little girl… If you desire to serve me, meet me in the citadel, within the valleys of blood and darkness…"
The man left him on his own, as Gustavo used his newfound abilities to survive in this harsh medieval world, and raised the young lady however he could, hiding from the sunlight and drinking the blood of the bandits and aristocrats he hated.
Despite all of this, he had finally managed to miraculously save someone in his entire life, and that girl had a fulfilling life despite the tragedies she also went through, had children, and died at the age of 72.
Gustavo became an ancient protector of this family, hiding in the shadows, until they moved to USA for the "American Dream", however, he decided to use his powers to create a strong Familiar that kept her descendants well protected even in another continent… after hundreds of years since being converted, he walked back to the one that saved his life, and joined the Clan of Vampires of Europe, becoming the grandpa figure of Clementine when she was a little girl.
Due to being a pure-born vampire, she grew up as a vampire and was not converted, the little Clementine grew slowly, she was technically older than him, but due to her growth as a pure-born Vampire, it took her sometime to mature completely. Due to this, he became her grandpa figure despite being a few dozen of years younger, and raised her with love, despite never changing the shape of his face.
An old man Vampire with mysterious powers was spread as a rumor across the large Vampire Clan of Europe, as many had tried to challenge him, mostly as shows of strength, these hormonal youngsters could not compare with the brave and strong old man, however, and were all beaten senselessly.
Clementine slowly raised to power as he trained her in all kinds of fighting techniques he had learned, despite looking like an average old man, his strength was great.
As time passed, his powers suddenly evolved, and he attained a divine state as a Vampire, becoming what was called a Demigod.
Despite this, Gustavo continued being a religious man, always attending the churches and praying for his family to be happy and live peacefully in heavens, while he stayed in Earth, and kept them alive within his old and immortal heart…
He never forgot their faces, their names, their laughter, and their sorrow, always had them in mind wherever he went. Now, devoted to his young lady Clementine, the old man traveled to Japan and saw as she changed this world, and recruited many of them into her clan.
How she challenged the Gods of Japan and the terrifying Yokai, alongside the three Demon Kings, battles, and fantastical wars he could had never thought possible in his younger years were all true, and he lived a life filled with action and fantasy he had never thought he could experience.
But instead of the excitement of a youngster, he did this because it was necessary, not to enjoy himself. He helped his lady survive and had even battled against the Japanese Gods themselves, burned alive by the flames and sunlight of Amaterasu, he resisted her incandescent fiery and saved his lady multiple times, surprising the gods that such an old man held such incredible prowess.
He saw how the treaty was made and saw how history in Japan changed overtime… all of this before his very eyes as many things occurred at the same time, he had a long life, and now. He was standing before two young girls that exuded strong divinities.
Asked by his lady to show off his power before them, he joined with Dan, a young man who he disliked due to his conflicting beliefs and his immatureness with things.
He looked sharply at the two young girls, their appearances resembled those of his two little sisters, Orb and Kamei looked almost identical, in fact.
For some odd reason, he had never seen such a thing before until now. It was mere coincidence, but such resemblance made him recall those harsh and old times, where he saw his family fade away before his eyes.
He looked at Clementine with his tired eyes, as she smiled back.
"Sigh… My lady really likes to abuse these old bones." He sighed.
