Long before the invention of language, before the forging of empires or the invention of morality, before any concept of sin or sanctity had taken shape, there was creation. And that creation began with an act of hatred so complete it scarred the structure of existence itself.
🩸🌹🩸
The vampire's origin is no tale of chance nor cursed accident. It is a calculated act of defiance against the divine order itself.
While humanity was fashioned in the image of God, given breath and the sacred gift of procreation as a testament to life's sanctity, the vampire emerged as the antithesis, a creation of the Devil, wrought in shadow and purpose. He carved life into their bones with the authority of a fallen god.
They were shaped from the depths of malice, born to unmake what God had made. Their existence is a ceaseless echo of that primordial rebellion, an eternal testament to a war writ large upon the soul of the world.
This understanding of origin and purpose casts a cold light on the nature of the vampire's existence.
Their race is not a scattered population of monsters. It is a system, a machine built to dominate. Their structure is older than kingdoms. Their purpose is older than mankind. They are not a myth hiding in shadows. They are a continuation of the first betrayal, and every generation is simply another act in the Devil's campaign to bring the world back under his command.
It explains their hunger, their dominion, and the violent hierarchies that govern their society. It reveals the depths of their rebellion, and the reason why they move through the night not as mere predators, but as the living embodiment of a war that began long before humanity's dawn and will continue until the final twilight.
For centuries, these creatures wrought devastation upon the Earth, their thirst for blood was a holy blight that shattered empires and sent kingdoms into ruin. Their hunger was not merely physical but also metaphysical. They fed on the very spirit of mankind, bending wills, corrupting faith, and driving the righteous to despair. Each act of violence was a sacrament of destruction, a sacred ritual in the service of chaos. They were not simply predators; they were harbingers of a divine punishment, instruments forged to decimate the human race and usher in an age of darkness.
Within this infernal lineage, two distinct breeds of vampire exist, each with their own place in this eternal struggle.
The "Primordials", those first and most ancient, were born directly of the Devil's will. These are the true children of rebellion, carrying within them the original malediction, vessels of an unfathomable power that transcends mere mortality. Their dominion is absolute, their presence a silent decree of fear and respect. Their purpose was to consume, dominate, seduce, and undo the very idea of creation.
Their bodies could blend into the world of men, but their presence disrupted everything holy. Their gaze inspired lust in the faithful. Their voices turned prophets to madness. They didn't steal blood. They harvested it as tribute. They embody a divine perversion so profound that it twists the very nature of life itself.
But their most blasphemous feature was not their power. It was their ability to reproduce.
Procreation, a sacred gift bestowed upon the living by God, becomes a blasphemous act within the vampire's domain. The Primordials possess the ability to bear offspring. Butt their reproduction is no act of love or legacy. It is a deliberate affront to creation itself, a challenge hurled at the heavens. Their progeny are not born into families, but into legions of chaos, bred to extend the Devil's scourge across the world. This act of bearing life within their dark wombs is an abomination, a perversion of the divine cycle that breeds suffering and devastation rather than hope or renewal.
In stark contrast to the Primordials stand the "Appointed, the vampires who did not arise from infernal design but from mysterious transformations of certain humans. These individuals, marked by fate or some unfathomable cosmic decree, cross the threshold into vampirism through means unknown to mortal science and hidden even by the vampires. Their transformation defies understanding, a secret jealously guarded by those who walk in the shadow.
Unlike the Primordials, these Appointed are not vessels of ancient malice but fragments of humanity caught in the eternal twilight between life and death. They carry the curse, but lack the primal power and lineage of their progenitors.
The distinction between these two lineages shapes the hierarchy within the vampire society. The Primordials reign supreme, their authority unchallenged, while the Appointed serve as both subjects and potential threats, their uncertain origins marking them as wild cards in the eternal balance.
Neither lineage reproduces in the human sense; the Appointed cannot create new vampires through blood or bite, and the Primordials' procreation remains an act of sacred blasphemy, seldom practiced and shrouded in secrecy.
Every other theory is discarded as myth or heresy. No vampire has ever turned a human by bite. Those who search for logic in this process are always disappointed or dead.

The day, in its final gesture, surrendered with unyielding dignity, retreating into the waiting arms of dusk like a monarch passing a crown to a patient, ancient heir. The horizon, bruised with strokes of amber and plum, stretched vast and reverent, inviting the coming veil of night to claim its dominion.
As the last golden threads of sunlight unraveled across the city's edge, the night rose with sovereign certainty, a realm reclaiming the throne that belonged to shadow and silence. Darkness advanced with solemn grace, silencing the restless wind, cooling the indifferent stone, and stirring the children born to its quiet, creatures who moved unseen beneath the pulse of stillness.
Within the vast and timeworn manor, nestled beyond mortal sight and mortal reckoning, Liliana emerged from the depths of stillness as a statue might awaken beneath eternity's breath, graceful and resolute, a force that spoke its power without uttering a single word.
Her movements bore only the measured precision of inevitability. The night was her inheritance. Outside, the world dimmed into shadow, and in that absence of light, her presence began to bloom, a slow, dark flower unfurling under a moonlit skyp.
She chose her garments as a warrior selects weapons, with deliberate reverence and cruel intent. The fabric kissed her skin like a whisper, dark as spilled ink and sharp as fallen ash.
The corridors held the solemn silence of a tomb crafted for queens. Portraits lined the stone walls like relics of forgotten courts, each visage a chapter of conquest. Her heels struck the floor in a steady rhythm. She belonged to a realm of absolutes, where questions died before they could find voice.
When she stepped into the waiting vehicle, it became an extension of her will. It moved through the sleeping city like a blade drawn beneath moonlight, silent, precise, and relentless. The engine purred like a beast tamed only by her command. The streets bent softly before her, as if the city itself remembered its place beneath her rule.
Her club rose like a monolith wrought from temptation and myth. Its walls pulsed with rhythms older than time. She had not built it for trade or wealth; her fortunes flowed from deeper, darker rivers. She forged it to be a sovereign space, a realm carved from indulgence, submission, and silence.
It served as court, theatre, and sanctuary alike. Mortals came bearing their desires draped in freedom's illusion, and vampires brought thirst cloaked in charm. Every detail bore her mark: the crimson shadows that bled into corners, the restrained glow of lights, the acoustics tuned to intoxicate and ensnare. This was no mere business, it was a cathedral consecrated to the chaos she commanded.
Behind heavy curtains, the night drew itself like a stage coming to life. Dancers rehearsed seduction with fluid motions guided by invisible rhythms. Staff moved with the urgency of priests preparing for midnight mass, their faces masks of solemn devotion. The air shimmered with the mingled scents of perfume, sweat, and whispered anticipation. Lights dimmed with reverent restraint, aware that brilliance too fierce would affront the night's sovereignty.
The doors opened without ceremony, and the procession of humanity began.
Mortals arrived cloaked in illusions, painted with cosmetics and trembling courage, their loneliness folded beneath layers of designer fabric. They laughed with hollow force, drank with greedy hands, and drifted across the floors as if desire might shield them from consequence. Among them walked creatures with colder blood, vampires whose elegance veiled a coiled hunger. Their presence was neither announced nor explained; it was felt in the subtle slowing of time, in the thickening of desire within those bold enough to meet their gaze.
Above all, she sat enthroned, her seat carved directly into the wall. The structure rose like a priestess's balcony above a congregation of sinners. From this vantage, she watched the vast expanse of her creation, every heartbeat, every sigh, every secret thought rising to her as though seeking permission or forgiveness. She granted neither.
Her composure resembled sculpture, still and absolute. Her eyes glided slowly over the crowd, reading desire from danger, attraction from intent.
Below her, mortals surrendered to temptation's embrace. Men and women offered themselves with reckless longing, chasing an intimacy that transcended flesh. Vampires received them with gentle cruelty, their touch light as smoke, smiles sharpened with intent. The scene held no vulgarity; it was sacred in its transgression. Submission was freely given, and dominance accepted like an ancient rite.
The evening exhaled, swelling with bodies, music, perfume, and blood. Yet within that perfect order, a subtle disturbance threaded the air. Liliana's gaze snapped toward it, precise and cold. She sensed it before her eyes met it, a single thread unraveling the delicate weave of control.
In this cathedral where every sound bore meaning, she prepared to silence the discord that dared defy her.
