Prologue

      NICOLAS'S POINT OF VIEW 

I Nicolas Hunter son of Felix Hunter a great vampire had existed centuries long ago, I blacked out during the great battle of the Red Sage I am the last immortal vampire or at least I thought I was, living alone for so long was so unbearable awoken and long lost in a lone world I was suffering from an existential crisis.

For a long century now I was hibernating, Selena's existence after a century brought me back to the night the brotherhood of darkness (rangers) decided to intercept Selena and molest her was the day she conjured me back from slumber with her arcane words maybe she wanted to raise the dead as an ally to fight the rangers off, maybe she didn't know the consequences of using such magic for the fact she did awake me from my sleep.

So I marked her. I have to find out who I was and still who she was. I knew exactly where she was. So I decided to hang out in the red keeper' Inn. I had marked someone who once had existed before, a female and I was getting an unusual stare from humans who seemed genuinely intrigued by my presence. I felt a stronger aura. Selena walked in and took my breath away.

I watched them trying to a phantom who she was, Her name is Selena presently but in the past, she was called Esmeralda she is furthermore another hybrid of an elf,  a sorcerer who died long ago with me and reincarnated our souls fused on the day she tried to kill me on the battlefield.

I will be damned if she figured me out, I am in for a big surprise. 

The worst is I have fallen in love with the enemy.

                   IN THE BEGINNING

December 980 A.D  was the day I Nicolas Hunter passed out into the void, total blackness buried in the earth let's say I was hibernating I would have long been dead with loads of vampires killed as well it was the end relic ages the first  armageddon and even elf's referred it as the battle of darkness, the mortals call it to the plague of darkness, dark elves conjured black rain and it fell for days 

The black elves known as the Drows had cast forth their unending curse of dark magic never been wielded before but used to cast deadly curses to bring an end to the reign of one of their own.

Black rain fell and it lasted for 21 days bringing darkness to the whole land. our kind saw it as a blessing in disguise and wanted to use that opportunity to plunge and wipe out the whole man on earth and bring an end to humanity already we are at war with humans and had nursed our grievances against humans for so long, they walk around anytime they want but we can't we only wait for nightfall before we can hunt. 

The elves already began to fight each other and had involved dragons and other magical creatures, the druids were also at it feeding from the brains of the vanquished and hiding their presence from men and lower creatures.

All creatures, elves, dragons, druids, and centaurs find our kind irritating; they treat us with spite and contempt; they call us the children of evil, demon offspring, or worse the soulless ones. 

Soon as the draws cast forth the magic with the help of a  human sorcerer known as Salazar the Great the vampires joined the apocalypse we wanted to first kill ourselves you can call it a coup of sanguine but we were vengeful so we diverted our wrath to humans we haven't fed in an open for so long this dark rain hid the sunlight and plunged the whole land into darkness. 

Burning houses and screams and massive bloodshed unleashed terrors the only thing free from our wrath was the fliers (dragons) or humans with special abilities called the shape shifters who can transform into giant birds and fly out of our reach 

Elves weren't easy to kill, the ones that went down refused to turn, and only humans turned to vampires, ruthless and the mad hunger to feed led to their quicker death, humans had finally learned we can be killed by stabbing a sharp stake to the heart thanks to the useless minions we created, they lack tactics with just brute strength. 

Men had joined the battle and helped the moon and light elves to drive the Drows into caves and hiding, we fought ourselves aggressively the war of Sanguine was a war waged by Orpheus the Dread against my father Felix Hunter ll the ruler of western vampires of Transylvania we ruled the whole mystic fall city. 

Orpheus the Dread ruled from the east side of the city of Blood located in Prague, Czech. said he was lusting to make vampires come out and conquer humans and enslave weaker vampires and take over all vampire estates and declare himself emperor. 

His ideologies are no different from that of Vladimir the Impaler himself, he had conquered all eastern states and sold his ideologies to make humans slaves but my father Felix Hunter thinks little of this sick invention of his, my father wanted us to go mainstream and breed and interact with human beings without showing them our ruthless nature. 

Orpheus sends vampires to carry out the deadly mission of killing in the church, he hates everything about the church thus the first killings were located around places of worship this was how vampire killing was sighted in the church, and men in fright retaliated. At first, humans being the weaker vessels seek answers to these gruesome murders and blamed it on the beast the church capitalized on the weakness and termed it the return of anti christ it was laughable religion always limited human thoughts and abilities until they deciphered that these killings were done by another kind of human which they termed vampires thanks to their scientist else they would have been lost forever now they are awakened next they seek to retaliate the killings my kind have done so far

I rode alongside my father in the war of Sanguine, we fought hard slaying ourselves. 

the heat was on Orpheus he was losing I was closer to cutting off his head a real heroic moment for me to the battle as I rode in my black horse I named her Vdekje meaning death in the Albanian language. I swung my sword and as I opened my eyes in fright I couldn't break my move I was fast but something faster had moved in front of Orpheus and cast a specter of black dust on my face, she looked so beautiful as my sword plunged into her chest she was human I was sure she had pointed ears, she's an elf and human breed I guess. 

As the particles of dust flew into my face, I was sent into oblivion, dark slumber, strong ancient magic that would have sucked my soul but I was Soulless, the only thing I hear is terrible screams of people on my head, those were souls of people I killed my victims I fed on. 

This soul-snatching magic sent me into a deep slumber. I sank into the earth buried deeply and lost consciousness. 

We lost the war, both Orpheus and my father Hunter nobody won matter of fact our lots were slaughtered massively as the humans and elves had sold us out and turned on our kind

human sorcerers joined hands with magical elves and conjured back sunlight and many vampires were vanquished that very day. 

I was buried in slumber I could still hear my kind scream in anguish as they were set ablaze and burned I hear my mother Liliana's screams and it was dreadful I was useless I couldn't do much but slumber 

The elf I slew lays deep down with me inside the soil. 

The other screams in my head and my victims were fading slowly. I was losing my last consciousness. Everything I did was flashing before me. 

I know my killer's name was Esme. She was from the royal family of elves but was a warrior princess. She was buried deep down in the dirt. Her magic consumed us both. 

The last image in my head and the screams I heard were from Orpheus's daughter. Her name was Vylona, daughter of a succubus called Irinith. 

Vylona was my love, despite the fact, that her father saw mine as his enemy, Irinith was a succubus who don't know any better she approves of our union out of spite she wanted to get back on Orpheus for forcefully subjecting her to be his wife as a present from the greater demon god Gaalmagus as a parting gift for his services. 

Vylona called out my name before everything blacked out. 

Was I dead or alive I do not know. But let me recall an event just before the War of Darkness happened perhaps this madness was inspired by a demon
