Shadow Born

[Eviemar Lionheart]

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.

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.
