Okay, I've been working a little on my story. This is a little of the history, the background, the setting and just some information on what it'll be about. Becouse I'm still in the brainstorming stage, I'm likely to change quite a bit of this information. It is my story, afterall. The title is currantly Blood Lust, based on Keiarra's sword. I'm sure that title has already been used for a book, but until I've another idea, I will use this name.
Blood Lust history, part one:
Approximatly 2,800 years ago was made a secret organization of Vampires, called the Grand Council. These vampires were the elite. The most powerful, the most experienced and the most intelligent. Vampires from all around the world were chosen, by vote and their own will, to join and form this council. Each came from a different area of the world. They were to represent their home at the council.
The Grand Council was formed to assure the well being of the vampiric society. The members of the council were the law. It was their duty to watch over the sons and duaghters of their land. The Grand council was an amazing success. The vampires in it were respected and cared for like royalty. They did their job and all vampires accepted the council as a very good thing.
After about 900 years, however, a war started that would end forever this peace. Every vampire had a special gift. Not only did they possess unnatural speed, grace, and immortality. They were capable of using magic. A secret magic, hidden from the humans, and coveted by other creatures of the night.
Vampire magic. When a human lost their life and transformed into a vampire, something inside them changed. Something deeper than the mucsle and the senses and the brain. The soul itself transformed. When dead, the spirit inside the body was no longer held deep within, having to hide its true potential. A vampire could, with the proper training, sense their soul within, and release its power. Magic. When they released that inner power, they gained the ability to change and control with simple thought and movement.
They gained the ability to create objects from the air, reach out their minds and touch the thoughts of others, manipulate the elements and even heat, summon objects or people, telaport, shapeshift and heal. Not only that, but when increased with the full magic of a vampire, the physical abilities of even the strongest non-magic vampire would seem weak.
With such great power, and nearly all vampires possessing it, it had to be kept under control. But by this point, that had grown into a difficult task for the council. Vampires had started to beleive that they, being more powerful than the humans, had the duty to cleanse the world of all mortals. This didn't go over well with the council. They tried to control those who beleived this. Massive killings and sluaghters were happening daily. Humans were dissapearing like mad. The council knew that the food source of all vampires was being wiped out, and so would the vampires if the council allowed the massecre to continue. Threats, courts sentances and speeches all proved fruitless. The vampires were going to die out completely. The council had to do something. They held a gathering to decide their actions toward this horrible occurence. They reached a dicision in just a few short hours. The only way to stop this blood bath was to take away the magic abilities of the vampires. They came together, creating and casting a spell to lock away all other vampire's souls deep within, never to weild their full power again. All vampires found themselves incapable of anything more than immortality and the super speed, stregth and intelligence vampires are still known for. The council couldn't take away all of the things that kept vampires safe from those foolish enough to hunt them.
Still, with all but the most trivial of their powers gone, the vampires were furious. They seized the sluaghter of the humans, turning their attention instead on their own kind. They split into two sides. Those loyal to the council and their decision, knowing it was for the good of all vampires, and those who were blinded by rage, wanting to exact their revenge upon those who they beleived had stolen away everything from them. The war raged on for over a a thousand years, leading to the death of over half the vampire population, and the near complete destruction of the vampire council.
Now these ancient powers are all but forgotten. The war has ceased, but still there are those who hold grudges for reasons they know not. There are those who have left their kind, who have chose to live alone rather than bare to constantly see what their own kind has been reduced to.
Once a great people, and the most powerful in all of Earth, vampires now keep to their own clans of at most one hundred strong. They live, some in mansions and others in caves, but none with the honor and luxery that were once the life of a vampire. None remain of the council but three. The rest either died in the war, or killed themselves due to the loss of family and home. Those three live in disguise, the last vampires on the planet who possess the knowedge and ability to weild the great power that is Vampire Magic.
I would very, very much like your opinions and any suggestions you may have. Constructive critisism is alright. However, please don't tell me my story is wrong or about my spelling errors. I tend to type quickly when coming up with this stuff, and spelling errors are going to happen, oh well.
Remember, this is not necissarily based on what most people think of vampires. This is a story I am making. The things I write about vampires may not seem right to you becouse you've heard differently about a vampire's abilities and such. Keep in mind I'm not writing this on vampiric facts, I'm writing a storyline I have created myself through my imagination, and my infatuation with daydreaming. Yes, the main character will be my RPC, Keiarra. Just in case you were wondering!
