"Today we are here to discuss a serious issue that we have faced for the first time in a very long time when it comes to our remembered history." The seriousness in the Vampires' voice was greater than what anyone would expect when there had just been some good news from the vampires.
Originally, the vampires had explained that they would be unable to continue their building when it came to any territory. Not because they lacked the materials or ability. It was because they had come to a stoppage in their numbers. Not enough vampires had survive dof their race to do so.
Why was that good? Because they were able to rediscover their ability to grow as a population.
