And Thus it began
Where to begin? Vampyres have been around since the dawn of night. Humans believe the are the highest on the food chain but Vampyres are the true kings. Many believe that Kain was the first. But it is truly unknown even to the eldest of Vampyres. The Cain which is spoken of in the bible is not the same as the Kain spoken of above. The person called Cain in the Bible has little to no direct influence on Vampyrism. The Kain who has been attributed as the father of all Vampyres lived at night and drank the blood of victims he took. Many of the eldest Vampyres believe he found another of his kind. A female named Marind. Together they had 13 children, which started the 13 original clans. There are many more than the original 13 now. No one knows if this is completely true for the old scrolls were lost when the Great Library in Alexandria burned to the ground. Many of the historical records, both of the world and of Vampyre kind were lost in that fire. Perhaps our kind would not be so disorganized today if those records had never been lost.
Kain is still alive, locked in a tomb which cannot be unlocked. For we surely all would die if Kain were loosed. The price of true knowledge is death. Why is this? Simply put, imagine not eating for centeries and then being awoken suddenly. You would grab the first thing that looked like food and devour it; but it would not stop there. Kain has immence powers and not eating for so long would cause him to act like a crazed, starved animal. He would not stop devouring until he was completely sated, and who knows how long that would take.
As the years passed Vampyres bred with mortals and the generations produced by such unions possessed thinner and thinner blood. The Vampyres of today in no way resemble what the true, original Vampyres were. This is why some of the myths about the powers and abilities of Vampyres exist. In the beginning, some of these myths were true, but now because of the greatly thinned blood of the Vampyres today, we no longer possess these powers.
