#fantasy challenge

Hi xD

I posted about this story here before when I posted it on Wattpad, on the occasion of the May 2020 The Force challenge. Turns out I didn’t won the challenge, but I quite enjoyed writing for it xD

The prompt should mix both SciFi and Fantasy, so... here you have yet another Vampire!Hux story from me xD

Although the lyrics doesn’t exactly fit the story, I listed to Before I’m Dead by Kidneythieves when I wrote this story. You can hear it here, if you want to, of course 

Ah the cover is not mine. The work is from the talented Ariana (known as ATO) on the inprnt. The piece is named Emperor Hux.

Summary: Armitage Hux truly hated feeling afraid and things that instilled fear on him. His father, the Force and its users topped the awfully short list. And he'd always resented himself for not being able to wield such a great a power. But now... he'd nothing else to fear. Nothing else to resent. For now, he'd a power as great as the Force running through his veins. [May 2020: The Force - Challenge] [SciFi Competitions and Challenges] [SciFi-Fantasy]

There were few things he truthfully hated. His father topped the list —thankfully, he'd gotten rid of him years before. But there was something he'd been always ashamed to admit—fear.

Armitage Hux truly hated feeling afraid and things that instilled fear on him.

After Brendol Hux, the Force and its users completed the rest of the awfully short list.

However, fear had been a great teacher. It taught him the importance to plan and to scheme. Yet... whenever Armitage Hux thought about his future, he never pictured himself lying on a pool of his own blood, unable to move his head to see the Stormtroopers carelessly thrown over the wreckage of the shuttles and TIE fighters in the Bay Two onboard the Finalizer.

He never pictured himself being crushed in a chase near the Arkanis Sector, watching as his best pilots were exploded before his eyes and his Star Destroyed was invaded by creatures as powerful as the almighty Force users.

Extremely ambitious, he pictured himself sitting upon the throne of the Galaxy, subduing everyone under the might of the First Order.

He saw himself getting rid of Kylo Ren, for he envied those like him, and like Darth Vader before him. The Force had always been a source of endless mystery and awe—fear, like a devious dictator, Armitage dreamed to be feared—across the Galaxy.

In his childhood, when he cried, hoped and prayed to be gifted with the Force—just to be plainly ignored—, he started despising the Force and those who could wield it.

As he rose through the rankings of the First Order, he realized he didn't need any superpowers to succeed, and the Force became just a passing dream, a fantasy of his teen years. However, as he met Kylo Ren and was outshined by him and the fact he could use the Force—something to be worshipped and venerated—like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum, he couldn't help but see resurfaced old wounds and hatred.

The fact that the force user saw fit to force choke him whenever he was angry—which happened quite often, for Kylo Ren had a flimsy control over his emotions—made Armitage desire that he, too, could use the Force.

For only then he'd be able to strike back.

Hux knew he could trust his careful planning to guide him to future glories, but he wondered what he'd be able to accomplish if he just had a tiny, little bit of that power running through his veins...

But now... he had the chance.

As he held the heart between his fingers and brought it—bloody, beating and still alive—to his hungry mouth, sinking his teeth into it and letting the coppery taste flow inside—feeding, strengthening, resurrecting him—he realized he'd nothing else to be afraid of.

For now, he'd a power as great as the Force running through his veins.
