THE STORY OF ZEKE & LUGOR
Zeke's mother Petunia has had it! Last night, Zeke had once again accidentally activated his magic powers known as The Negative and summoned a gun. Which he then proceeded to accidentally shoot his mother's expensive vase she purchased from China years before giving birth to him. After Zeke got bopped on the head and had cleaned up the broken glass, Petunia had told Zeke first thing in the morning after breakfast that he's going to travel to his grandmother's house. The reason being is for him to gain control over his magic before he accidentally harms either his father, mother, or himself. After getting dressed and eating breakfast, Zeke received traveling money from his mother in order to visit his grandmother who lives in a secluded cabin within the Rouge Forest located in France. Giving his parents a hug and a kiss, the young boy heads out to visit his grandmother. Zeke catches the bus in Dijon and begins his journey, reaching the Rouge Forest about three hours later. Zeke takes a moment to pause his music on his cellphone, removing his earbuds as he observes his surroundings. Two years ago, Zeke had come to the Rouge Forest with his parents and felt a sense of uneasiness within this gothic themed forest. Nevertheless, Zeke isn't the one to let a bit of uneasiness deter him from his objective. The lad came here to see his grandmother and that's what he plans on doing in order to get his awakened powers in check.
Entering deeper into the forest, Zeke suddenly hears the sound of rattling not too far from his current location. Knowing that he only saw a few rabbits, a single skunk, and a purple raven, Zeke was quite certain that it couldn't be anything dangerous waiting ahead of him. At least he had hoped. Venturing further into the forest as he was half way to his grandmother's cabin, Zeke would then stumble upon the corpse of what appeared to be a tall and burly man dressed like a hunter; several slashes around his body and of course a fatal slash around their neck. Now on edge, Zeke starts to become worried not only about himself but his grandmother's safety. However before the boy could make his next move, jumping out of the bushes was a tall werewolf beasterian with a feral appearance who was obviously the one responsible for the corpse Zeke had encountered seconds ago. Staring at the beasterian in horror, all Zeke can do is stand frozen and hoping that his death will be swift because everyone knows death is never painless. Instead upon approaching the lad, the werewolf beasterian simply wraps his arms around him and places his nose around the scared lad's neck. Giving him a soothing lick near his Adam's Apple, the beasterian then sniffs him before removing his arms around him. The beasterian then stares back at Zeke with a relieved look on his face before saying to him "So you are indeed Gretchen's grandson... thank the Gods! No need to be afraid of me dude... my name is Lugor Van Ness. I ran away from home a few months ago and met your grandmother while exploring France. She took me in and I have lived here since"
Relieved that the beasterian Lugor was not a danger to him, but was also a friend of his grandmother, Zeke quickly introduced himself to him before telling him his age of thirteen years old. Lugor told Zeke that he was two years older than him before explaining the situation around the dead Hunter laying in front of them. Upon learning that Lugor and his grandmother have been fighting off Hunters these past few weeks, Zeke became even more concerned about his grandmother's safety and demanded that Lugor carry him on his back and take him to see her. Lugor was shocked by how only seconds ago the lad was terrified of him and was now giving him orders. Yet, there was something about Zeke that Lugor was unable to refuse as he placed Zeke on his back before rushing to the grandmother's cabin. Moments upon reaching the cabin where his grandmother resided, both Zeke and Lugor saw sickly green colored flames within the house. The two men threw caution to the wind and entered the house. Once inside the house the two men witness a gravely injured Gretchen and across from her was a red skinned witch dressed in a dominatrix like fashion. Rushing over to his grandmother's side, Zeke began to cry as he saw his grandmother in such bad shape. Lugor stared angrily at the witch while taking an offensive stance. Gretchen with her dying breath explained to Zeke that the witch before them had come seeking revenge after Gretchen had killed her lover a month prior for causing trouble in Bayonne. The Witch had also hired rogue Hunters to try to kill Lugor and her as well. Gretchen then told how much she loved Zeke and regrets that she won't be around to see him grow up and that she's proud of her daughter for giving birth to such a fine grandson. Tears ran down Zeke's face as he was forced to watch his grandmother take her final breath. The sickly green colored flames starts closing in on them as the Witch watches on in glee.
Enraged by the death of his grandmother, Zeke's powers activate as he summons a magical gun into his hand. Immediately without any warning, Zeke fires several rounds into the body of the witch. The bullets strike both of her arms, three in her stomach, and one in her heart. Zeke then orders Lugor to grab his grandmother's dead body and to escape the cabin before an explosion takes place. The Witch's body jitters in agony; each of the bullets that pierced her body explode and tear away at her limbs. The Witch was already mere moments from death as the bullet in her heart explodes which causes the cabin to blow up as well. Zeke and Lugor escape the explosion as Lugor holds the dead body of Gretchen in his arms. Tears of sadness run down Lugor's eyes while tears of anger ran down Zeke's. It was very unfortunate that it took the death of his grandmother to miraculously give Zeke control over his inherited powers and now he'll have to explain to his parents about the tragedy that took place today. Zeke then turns to Lugor and tells him to promise him to always be by his side. Lugor turns over to Zeke and ensures him that they will always be together.
YEARS LATER
Now much older and happily a couple, Zeke and Lugor had become a dynamic duo of Witch Hunters, taking jobs specifically to track and kill Witches, former Sages that decided to use their powers for evil or simply lost control of their magic. Remembering the pain of losing his grandmother, Zeke along with Lugor had decided from that very day to become strong enough to combat Witches wherever they may be but the duo are mainly stationed in France. Every Sunday unless they are away in another country. Zeke along with Lugor goes to see his parents Petunia and Cien for a wonderful Sunday dinner
