So you want to know of Vampires?
We all know how they came to us. In an era where man flew with steel and wielded lightning for things as ssimple as cooking food, there were magicians unrivalled with even that level of power. They could render entire cities ash, create and cure the Great Plagues out of nothing. Fuck they even animated steel with lightning, making machines that did seven thousand times the work of a man and yet have no soul.
One day, the magicians of each great tribe went to war. It is known simply as The End.
The world was reduced to ash. Within that time, the Vampires came to be. Infinite vitality, incredible strength without the need of a single boast. They are wayward spirits. Creatures with no consideration of man. They simply see us as cattle, and cull the rogues as we cull sheep.
Most say they were made by the magicians of the losing side. Desperate to even the odds, they broke the laws of humanity and created monsters they couldn't control. I believe those stories.
Now we're kept on a continent that was once known as the last third world, whatever that meant. We still have magicians, making steel move with steam, and we still make alchemy, but we have fallen horribly from Grace.
How do I know? Have you ever heard of Bloodlings? Now your parents would say Bloodlings, my kind, are horrid, traitorous creatures that sold their soul to serve the Vampires and wield an inkling of their master's power. Most obvious being indefinite longevity, incredible health, and the ability to use three times the strength of a man. In a sense, that is true, but false as well. While we may have those powers, we are simply humans who vampires enjoy feeding upon. If one takes a particular interest in you, she marks you as her and ,through feed, you gain a little amount of their strength.
My master? My boy I'm far to proud to have bent for a man. Besides I like women, so I have a Mistress. She likes the type of blood I have, but I don't know what that means exactly. Regardless I think you must be going, boy. Spend too much time with me and you'll be stuck with me and will have to squat in the cave a mile out of town. Besides, I believe someone is waiting for me.
No no don't be afraid. She won't hurt you it I have anything to say about it.
Hello my love.
