Chapter 1: A story I wish to tell

  There is a story that I wish to tell better yet it is a story of my own, my Legend. It was a story or a legend, whatever you wish to call it, that I had erased from the history of the world. I feel and fear that time has come for the world to know the truth. You can choose to believe it or you can choose not to. You can just take it as if I am writing you a story made just for your entertainment.

  Truth is I have lived for many eons in this world not by myself, as that would drive anyone crazy. I am not saying that I am completely sain as no one truly is but any way i have lived for a very long time with my lover standing by my side and I have concluded that we aren't the most dangerous species out there, humans are. I find that they are the most dangerous and most mysterious creatures to ever live and that is saying a lot coming from me but that is how I see it.

  I have seen wars and destruction happen between their kind and more yet should they feel like they are threatened by something, not from their own they tend to unite as one and fight together to eradicate what they deem as a threat. Interesting creatures aren't they?

  Maybe one day we might be able to live together in harmony but I highly doubt it. We are creatures of the dark; we strive in the darkness. Humans on the other hand are not meant for the dark or the light yet they strive in it they are the only creatures who border the line of both. They can be found embracing the extremes of one side or the other even though they can still live in the middle of both. They are a fascinating species I tell you.

  The story I am about to tell you is the complete story of Spade Blackwell also known as the Black Emperor. You may have probably heard pieces or at least the name might ring a bell for you. Well, life for me has never been easy. My name has struck terror as well as many other emotions to all the people in the world. You have probably heard some of my stories from your parents, grandparents, or even from your great-grandparents.

  While I had erased the majority of my existence I still make sure to always let people remember me at least a tiny bit. For I don't wish for a repeat of the past to happen ever again. Once I had believed that the complete eradication of my existence from the history books would grant me peace but I was wrong it instead brought me endless trouble as they did not understand the consequences of provoking me.

  The majority of the things at the beginning of this story I am about to tell you are things I came to learn from those around me. One might think that having a photographic memory would be something to rejoice but I disagree because it has only brought me pain and misery. Even then the memory of my childhood, while clear to me, does not reflect the actual reality that was happening around me at that time.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  While I might remember it does not mean that I can understand every single thing since the moment of my birth. At that time I still didn't have any common sense so it might be better to see things before the age of five from a different point of view don't you think so?

  So to be exact I was born in the year 2005 the current date is the year 2000 of the galactic era. It has been a very long time, if I may say so. During those times the country of Europe still existed. The world back then had just experienced a rise in technological advancement due to the Second World War between all the countries in the world.

  My birthplace was the city of London, the capital and one of the greatest cities found in the country of England. During those times the country was under President Vincent Ramos. At that time while a president presided over things the monarchy had yet to be dissolved. The people then had still lived under the rule of the monarchy. During those times the queen was called Queen Elizabeth the Second. She had five children at the time. the crown prince being named Prince William the Fifth.

  As I was saying, my mother was considered the most beautiful woman in the entire country during those times. According to what I have been told she was the daughter of her father's first wife who had died during childbirth.

  Her mother had complications during her delivery because of the stress from the many family issues that were going on. She had been in her 8 months of pregnancy and had gone into premature labor because she had found out that her husband was cheating on her with a commoner.

  The first time I heard of the way she died I found it hilarious. I wondered why a person should suffer pain and misery from someone who doesn't love them. I still hadn't understood the hurt that a person could suffer due to the loss of love from someone close or someone you might have thought was close to you. That will change in the future.

  Life for me was hard and painful even from the moment of my birth. Normally a baby tends to express emotions to make those around aware of their bodily needs yet emotions for me have been very few and fleeting ever since my birth.

  I remember having been diagnosed with Alexithymia after 2 years of age. It made it difficult to harbor emotions and empathize with others. Even later on as it got better it was something only applicable to those I cherish. Life for the most part had been hard as I was incapable of expressing emotions and people tending to alienate me . It was not that I was completely without emotions, it was just that it took me a very long time to understand certain things at times. Making my personality cold some children at that time would call me the cold ice prince.

  It was quite a fitting name considering my circumstances. While an issue at the beginning it got better thanks to the help of my lover. He always understood me even without me having to explain yet at times I have come to appreciate this lack of empathy as it had allowed me to not suffer as much as a normal person would when things that are considered painful experiences occur. Well then enough of that i guess it is time you let me tell you about my life as it was not more than an exciting roller-coaster of emotions and adventures. Let's start with my birth, now how should I best explain it, it was not short of a miracle and a start of so many things good and bad.
