Strike The Blood:The Return Of The 5th Progenitor

Argus dragged himself out of the car and knelt down next to Ayaka and checked her pulse, luckily she was still alive. She had been thrown into the wall by the other 'Argus', the one that had not been fed yet

Argus lightly tapped on Ayaka's cheek until she woke up, once she realised who was in front of her she recoiled and shuffled her self backwards and away from Argus who sighed in at the scene. He looked her in the eyes and said" That was the other me, it seems he will be an issue here and I can't have that going forwards.I will explain everything too you soon, you will need all of the information in order to survive in my company because I have no idea what will happen to me going forwards .I will need you to take me to the nearest church as soon as possible, may I forgive myself for what I'm about to do."

Argus got back in the car and Ayaka slowly moved back towards the car, making fearful glances at Argus as she passed his door. The journey to the church was filled with complete silence, when they arrived Argus turned to Ayaka and said" Here are my measurements for a suit, go and get one for me and a dress for yourself. Pick me up from here in an hour, I have to make preparations for tonight as it seems the other me is trying to get free."

Argus walked into the church and walked towards the head priest and said"Father, I'm sorry but I have sinned and will continue to do so, do you know where any virtuous women are, If I can't find one, I will go on a rampage and kill most of the people on this island." The priest looked Argus up and down and replied with" Who are you, young man, unfortunately the nuns connected to this church are not allowed to provide counsel to men, I can try my best to help however."

Argus just smiled and said"Then I'm truly sorry father, it seems you will have to die so I can get to them. It is of vital importance, I do not need their counsel but their blood and it needs to be soon. If I told you who I am I would have to kill you, so it seems my hands are tied and you have to die."Argus walked up to the prince and snapped his neck, he then went into the rooms at the back of the the church where he found women tied up with gags in their mouths.

Argus just shook his head and moved towards one of the women and took out the gag, he then asked" Are you a v.i.r.g.i.n?" The woman began hysterically crying and in between sobs she said"Yes, I was planning to give it to my boyfriend but he abandoned me when the men came and kidnapped me. Are you here to set me free? Please don't hurt me."

Argus wiped the tears off of the woman's face and said" I can free you soon however I'm going to need some of your blood before then, try not to move and it will be over quickly." Argus then bared his fangs and bite the neck of the woman, to his surprise the blood he was getting was the best he had ever tasted. He forgot about the woman's situation until she hit him in the side of the head.

Argus rubbed his head and undid the knots on the ropes on the woman down. He then said" If you need a place to stay, you are welcome at my mansion, if you need a job, you can work as a maid there.Just so you are aware I injected some of my vampirism into you, you maybe wondering why I did that but it is for your own safety. I can now roughly sense you location as well your heartbeat which will let me know if you need help again, I think that is a fair trade for the blood I took so I will be leaving now. I have an awkward dinner to go to, the priest out front is dead, blame it on a vampire or something, make sure to release the other women here before you."

When Argus got outside he collapsed and his head began to ache extremely, it was like a bomb going off in his mind. What he didn't know was that one of his eyes had permanently turned red while half of his hair had turned white again. A large tattoo of a tree appeared on his c.h.e.s.t and it branched off onto both of his arms, his right arm had a withered tree and depictions of death on it. While his left arm's branch was full of life and depicted wildlife thriving, his head finally calmed down and that is when he felt a connection with a new familiar,the familiar of diligence.

As he went to summon Diligence the pain erupted throughout his entire body and forced him to lose conciousness, while he was in this state, the two separate versions of Argus, Sin and virtue began to mentally link together and share their strength.

When Ayaka came to pick Argus up, she saw him passed out on the floor with the tattoos and the change in his appearance and started throwing stones at him to wake him up. When the third stone hit, Argus dragged himself off of the floor and looked down and said" What the f.u.c.k happened to me in my sleep? Wait a second, Ayaka stop staring at my p.e.n.i.s and tell me if I have one red eye and partially white hair?"
