Chapter 1 – Pushed into Destiny

Nevar dreams about the day he lost his family a memory that haunts him to this very day. He was seven at the time and afraid of bringing home his bad test scores from school, so he wandered through the town until he realized that he would get in even more trouble if he came home late. By the time he went home, he saw some strange people enter the house, which stopped him from going any further. He was always afraid of talking to weird looking strangers, but this time, his instincts were correct as these people hypnotize the rest of his family and exit the house with his family in tow. Despite wanting to do something, he was frozen in his fear and didn’t go anywhere near his house until his family was far in the distance.

Turning to look at the house, he remembers the reports of what vampires do to their victims that they use in their blasphemous sacraments. He sees the broken, bloodied, and desecrated bodies of his family with his eyes focusing on the cut throat and torn out heart of his infant brother. Seeing this is enough to make him fall down in tears and not want to do anything about it.

Stop being so hard on yourself, a familiar and comforting voice says to him.

Nevar looks up to see his father looking at him with a smile.

Father…I’m not worthy to be called your son. I can’t be the same hero you were, Nevar admits.

You will be. I know it. Don’t doubt yourself and remember to trust God to help you in everything you do, his father says.

I do trust God. I trust Him more than myself.

As you should. Do that and you will never fail.

Nevar feels himself beginning to wake up and he tries his best to will himself to stay in the dream.

Wait, don’t let me wake up, father! Tell me more! Grant me your intercession from your Heaven!

I will and I’ll never leave you. You needn’t worry so much. You are my son after all.

The young man calls out to his father again as he wakes up. Even though he is disappointed that he is awake, he
