Hi dear readers! I am back again, this time with the prequel to Kyuketsuki. I felt the need to write a prequel about Arthur's past considering how little light is shed on the matter in Kyuketsuki. I am very proud at how many of you liked Kyuketsuki and thought that you should deserve a little treat as well. So thank you very, very much for following that story and enjoying it as much as I did.

For this fanfiction, I probably won't update it as often as I did with Kyuketsuki. Updates will be frequent but this is still in the works and it incomplete so far. This chapter is a short (and kind of pathetic) prologue to tease you for a bit. But no worries, chapter 1 will go up today as well. Thanks for reading!

Flying with Only One Wing

A prequel to Kyūketsuki

Prologue

Everyone has their story, their origins. That includes me. I had a life before Sima, before the mansion, and even before Alfred. There was a time when I was human, when my heart was still thumping in my chest. I was alive once just like any other human. And there was that night, the last night of mortal existence…

But I'm getting ahead of myself. I will tell you the story before my death and the story of my re-birth as something more powerful than the average human; something that craved blood, something… horrid.

This is the story of my existence, the story of Arthur Kirkland, the former vampire of the Kyūketsuki mansion.
