It is mid December now. The days are short and growing shorter. This is the time of year that my people used to have absolute power over. A powerful race. A mighty people. We are very few now, almost extinct. Most of the elders among us say that it is the way of things. They say that it is time for others to rule. They do not want us to fight our fate. And who will rule then? The humans? They are sheep. Sheep need shepherds. The oldest among us does not agree with them. They do not want us to reproduce. In any way. This can't be the way things are meant to be. I will not have it end this way. I wont. I may not have been around to have experienced what the world was like at the height of our power but I have dreamed of it. He has shown me the past in the world of my dreams. The glory I have beheld is beyond what mere words can describe, Such glory has not existed for far too long. I will do everything within my power to see that such glory exists again. Few that we now are, we will rise and rule again.
Natala

Story
Four thousand years ago, the vampires were at the height of their power. They ruled over all with iron fists. Things were going quite well for the vampires. Having power over everything, they had no reason to fear anything. They should have stayed more vigilant.
It still isn't clear what exactly happened but their numbers began decreasing. The decrease was slow at first, but quickly picked up pace. Many families were completely destroyed. Extinction threatened many others. Then, just as quickly as it started, the decreasing of their numbers stopped.
Few as their numbers are, all but one of the elders has declared that there is to be no reproducing. Only the youngest among them has openly argued against this. The oldest of them does not agree but he has not openly opposed the other elders.
Among the rebellious is Natala Rishgard. She is the youngest vampire and the last of her house. Without the knowledge of the other vampires, she has been searching for the second ancient of their kind. Natala is young but is more powerful than her age should allow. Counting on both ancients to side against the elders, she hopes to restore the vampires to their former glory.

Bio/History: Akito was once a part of one of the most notorious vampire families filled with elemental users. There is a rumor going around that it wasn't other races who killed his kin, but other vampires, more specifically the ancients who feared his kind rebelling against them. Akito, is one of two left from his family. Although, he hasn't seen his 'sister' in a long time. Over the years, he's almost completely forgotten about her. Akito, is known for his fiery temper and smoking habit. Akito's parents were killed too long ago for him to even care.

Gaia name: Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes Character name: Angelo Age: 5000 Race: Vampire Appearance: [X]Weapons: Sword Bio/History: Angelo is a very old vampire, but does not necessarily agree with the old ones. He sees their point but thinks it foolish, for in his mind the only thing that matters is power, those that have should rule those without it. He is the greatest swordsman among his kind, better with a blade than even the first of his kind. He craves only power and will do anything to increase his own, but for now he is simply watching events unfold, interjecting himself when he sees fit. Gaia name: Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes Character name: Adrian Age: 4995 Race: Vampire Appearance:[X]Weapons: Sword Bio/History: Adrian is Angelo's younger brother, although to see the two interact you would assume the reverse. Where Angelo is quick tempered and impatient, Adrian is calm and calculating.

Things were changing. Some sort of plague had hit their kind and was destroying their numbers. Imposing a ban upon procreating, the elders have become fools. So Nicholai slept.

Gaia name: Adrian Fahrenheit Tepes Character name: Alistar Age: Ancient Race: Vampire Appearance: [X]Weapons: Gian scythe, two short swords, and a broadsword. Bio/History: He was the first male of his species. Born so long ago that few if any remember him, and even they are unsure as to how he came into being. He grew bored with ruling his kind, as well as the humans, so he put himself into a deep slumber, long befoe Alina did the same.

Gaia name: Kazaki Hikoi Name: Dimitri Gender: Male Race: Vampire Age: Ancient- one of the Active Elders Appearance: DimitriWeapons/Powers: Dimitri has the power of persuasion.

He is the fourth male vampire and has personally sired two others. One being Nicholai, the sixth male vampire. Dimitri would never admit it, but Nicholai is his weakness. The other vampire he sired was a female... Although, he himself killed her centuries ago. That was the turning point for Nicholai's and his relationship. Dimitri doesn't regret it... Afterall the little 'witch' was stealing his precious Nicholai away from him. Dimitri currently lives in the shadows...

Is 2100 Race: Vampire Appearance: [X]Weapons: Sword, Mace, and Spiked Gauntlets Bio/History: Wolfram was the last vampire turned, before the ban on procreation.

Many say he is the greatest warrior among the entire species in terms of swordsmanship and non-magical combat. He has some minor magical abilities, but far fewer than most vampires his age.

Natala shoves her servants out of the way, excitement burning in her amber eyes. Delicate fingers glide over the sarcophagus her faithful servants have dug up. A smile curves her blood red lips. This is it. This is what she has been searching for. Lifting the lid with strength her body doesn't seem capable of, she sets it aside and peers down at the slumbering woman. Another smile curves her lips. "Alina. Finally, I have found you." Her voice is soft and seems to rub against the skin like velvet. She has yet to discover the secret to awaking the ancient one she has now found, but that does not damped her excitement. Amber eyes shift to those around her. They are human and decedents of those who have served her family for countless generations. "You have all done well. Let us go home." She assists them in getting the sarcophagus into her carriage before putting the lid back on. Climbing in, her party start for home.

Akito sits there in his families old dilapidated estate his crimson eyes the only visible part of him. Quietly he sits there not taking any acknowledgment to the small rats lurking about his place due to hearing about 'ghost stories' he gathered from listening to them talk. He could hear their heart beats all of them were petrified to be there. "I wonder... why humans torture themselves so much..." The vampire said with a sinister smirk on his face. As they grew closer to the lounge where he sat Akito merely listened. He then closed his eyes, a smirk on his face the whole time. As they entered the room he had already determined that they weren't leaving... They were young, and now that he could smell their blood better... they were innocent too. Which made everything better for the vampire.
He watched as the flashlights whipped slowly around the room. The teens hadn't noticed him yet. Upon opening his eyes he sat there in the corner and just watched. One of the children must have noticed his eyes and quickly shined the flashlight upon his face. There sat Akito, with a broad sinister smile, his fangs in full view. "Well hello there children... I'm curious as to why you have all come to see me..." Akito spoke in a deep haunting voice and then came his favorite part... Their screams. With a hearty laugh Akito then moved swiftly from his spot, and before he knew it he had drank most of them dry... Now, they're bodies just laid there limp on the floor. Akito smiled looking around the room. He then took his sleeve and wiped the remaining blood from his face.
"Heh-heh..." He chuckled to himself his once dim crimson eyes now full of life once more. It had been too long since he had tasted the fresh blood of a human, and he had such a buffet tonight. With that the vampire broke out into laughter. "Humans..." He said with a smile as he then walked towards the window just as a snowflake hit the window. A bit stuffy he cracked the window a bit allowing the fresh smell of blood to fill the air. Meanwhile Akito walked over to the corpses and ignited their bodies waiting for them to become ash before stopping the flames. "What a fun night..."

Natala pulls her thick cloak tight around herself as she sits in her carriage. It being December and them being so far north, it is very cold. She has not fed for months now. She is growing weaker by the day and can not last much longer without feeding. She has refused to feed on her people until now, however and will continue to do so until they reach home. Natala can only hope that the heavy snows will continue to hold off until they can reach their castle again. Once there, she doesn't care how much it snows. They have ample supplies to keep all fed and in excellent health until the snow decides to melt and the ground thaw. Natala uses one heavily gloved hand to move a heavy curtain slightly to look out upon the cold world as they move at a quick pace through it.
LiNeeerafae lounges on a decorative ledge over Angelo. She has left her silver hair loose to cascade over the ledge. Silver eyes watch the vampire in silence. A silent protective shadow. A darker shadow among shadows. Meant not to be seen or heard unless she or her masters wish it. Not a hard thing for a drow such as her.

Angelo lounged in a large arm chair watching the fire, as he pondered his next move, not something he did often, he usually left all the thinking to his brother. He looked up at the drow with a soft nod, his eyes then moved to the door as he heard his brother approaching the foyer.
Adrian entered the foyer from the lower levels of the house where his lab was located. He looked up to LiN and flashed her a soft smile. He then returned his gaze to his brother. "Have I missed anything of importance my brother?" He asked as he took a seat on the large couch.

LiNeeerafae leans slightly. Long silver hair cascades like a waterfall over the side of the narrow decorative ledge she is lounging on high above them. Silver eyes study them for a long moment before she decides to speak. She knows that the question was not for her, but she has news. "Young Lady Natala is on the move."
She sits close to the small fire with Malia. There is something off, special, about the human girl they travel with. Besides, she does not like how comfortable her twin has gotten them to Lord Nicholai's estates. They have been on his lands for days but now they are near to his estate. Too near for her person liking. Her twin is playing with fire. He is growing too bold.
Mallia looks at the she-wolf and scoots closer to her, wrapping her blanket around both of them. The twins have been kind to her, bringing her with them after village was destroyed. She looks after Drisa while Frisin is off hunting for food and firewood like he is now. Since her female companion seems nervous, she keeps a hand near her sword.

Nicholai found the darkness around him soothing. He had just come back from a small journey to civilization and found he did not like what he saw. Sitting in his father's old throne Nicholai sat there with his bloody crimson eyes closed as he listened to his surroundings. "Hmm?" Nicholai said quietly to himself his silver eyebrows perking slightly. "What's this?.... two werewolfs... and a human on my land? And so close?..." The ancient vampire said softly in his smooth deep voice. Standing Nicholai walked around the estate searching for a particular window. Once he found it the old vampire walked close to it making sure to stay in the shadows as he peeked out of it. After allowing his eyes to skim the area. After a minute he locates their fire and grows lowly to himself. "What has this world come to? No one respects anothers property anymore?... A shame..." With that the vampire shook his head and stepped closer to the window still keeping out of sight. There were two figures near the fire, and Nicholai... could sense a third one.
Backing from the window Nicholai made his way outside. Then with using the shadows as cover the ancient made his way closer to the camp perching himself in a tree almost two hundred yards from the fire just watching the two females. As much as he detested others on his land... Perhaps... they had a good reason for being there?...

Frisin steps into the clearing with some wood and two small rabbits. Seeing the way Malia's purple eyes look at the rabbits he shrugs slightly. "It is all that is in the area to be had for meat without stealing from Nicholai or his humans. I will not steal." Satisfied by her nod, he sets the wood by his fire and gives the rabbits to his sister to make a stew with.
She keeps an eye on the blind she-wolf though she is sure the woman wont hurt herself now. "If you respect this Lord so much, why are you on his lands?" At Frisin's silence, she turns her accusing eyes upon her companion. "You say you would not but that is not true. It is a lie. You would steal from him. You poached the rabbits by being on his land. He is Lord here, not you."
Frisin growls, becoming frustrated. "And you seem inhuman at times with the mysticness of your ways!" At the snarl he earns from his twin an the flinch from the human girl, he sighs and slumps where he sits. Shaking his head, he looks at the girl. "I knew that if you knew you would give me trouble over eating. You need to eat and I've no money to buy you food to fill your belly. It is winter. What would you have me do?"

The ancient vampire stayed perched in his tree as he watched the third member enter the camp with two rabbits. As the boy spoke... to one of the girls the ancient vampire just smirked. 'Well, that's polite of him... Especially since there are only a few of my humans left...' The vampire thought to himself now making a mental note to bring a few more humans to the estate. Standing on the branch Nicholai leaned back against the trunk. Now it was the.. human girls turn... As she spoke Nicholai's brow quirked. 'A valid point... and yet another valid point...' The vampire thought not standing there quietly involving himself in the conversation... well in his mind anyway. As she mentioned him being Lord the vampire couldn't help but smirk. 'Ah, a wise girl... wise beyond her years..' The ancient thought gleefully to himself.
Wanting to get a bit closer Nicholai moved up a few trees without so much as a twig cracking from his movements. Now, about a seventy-five meters away he watched at the werewolf boy became frustrated. With everything the boy said the only thing that really stuck out in his mind was...'Is mysticness a word? Looks like I need to find a new dictionary...' The Lord thought to himself. 'Yes she does need to eat... and get a job... and..' As he was rambling in his thoughts the vampire did something slightly careless. "Ask for food..." Upon realizing he opened his mouth Nicholai sighed and shook his head. 'Good going you fool...' With that Nicholai hopped out of the tree and walked steadily towards the three keeping his deep crimson eyes on them.
"You could have asked the lord of the estate to stay and hunt upon his property." The ancient said casually as he stopped a few meters from the three making sure to give them some space. "Had you explained your situation to him or even a servant of his... He surely wouldn't be wandering around trying to figure out why there were three unfamiliar's on his property." with that said the vampire smiled flashing his fangs slightly.

Malina is on her feet before either werewolf can act, blanket left behind on the cold ground. She has to grip Frisin's shoulder rather roughly to gain her balance. He's been keeping them moving at a pace that a human can't keep up with, not and stay on her feet without help. She glares down at the man she has been traveling with and his snarling suddenly ceases. Over the last few months, she has been coming to realize she can do.. things. Bright purple eyes raising to the vampire, she manages a small smile, "Lord Nicholai, I presume?"
A soft smile curves her lips. Drisa continues with her stew. She knows not many humans remain in this area. A lot of land and little company. "It is indeed, dear Malina. Now, introduce yourself properly now. I'm sure you have some manners."
Malina glances at the she-wolf. Looking back at the vampire lord, she bows her head. The small metal circle between her brows with engravings upon it glints slightly in the fire light. "I am Malina. These are my companions and rescuers, twins, Drisa and Frisin."

Angelo looks from his brother and then up to the drow woman as she spoke. "Really, and do we know what it is that our little Natala is up to LiN?" He asked softly as he returned his gaze back out the window into the night. He sensed power out there in the dark, power he lusted after.
Adrian raised an eyebrow as LiN informed them of Natala's actions. "Indeed I am curious as to what the young lady would be doing out in weather such as this, surely her humans would not fair well in such cold."

LiNeeerafae smiles and rolls, landing in a crouch at Angelo's side. She looks over the edge at him even though it is clear his focus is not on her. Silver eyes flick to Adrian before settling upon the elder brother again. "She has been searching for something. What, I am not sure. Yet. She comes this way. I think she has found what she sought." She pauses before smiling. "The snow storm could hit early, Master Angelo."
