"For some re<strong>as</strong>on that h<strong>as</strong> yet to be revealed, things changed. The demons began to make war on the<br />
Sidhe. The Sidhe are not numerous <strong>as</strong> a race, and they reproduce slowly because they are very nearly<br />
immortal. They can be killed, but they don’t die from old age or illness. So the Sidhe retreated and<br />
took up residence in Elvenhome, and there they remained, where the demons couldn’t follow. They<br />
left demons to dominate and desecrate the earth."<br />
"And dominate they did. The strongest ruled and the weak were enslaved. It w<strong>as</strong> a brutal time and<br />
bloody. Rape, murder, torture, whatever violent and bloody thing you can think of w<strong>as</strong> done, and<br />
worse. Rivers of blood ran over the earth and sank into the soil. So much, that it seemed <strong>as</strong> though the<br />
whole earth would be drowned in it."<br />
"The First Evil w<strong>as</strong> ple<strong>as</strong>ed; it fe<strong>as</strong>ted in the darkness, becoming bloated on the misery, pain and blood<br />
of those times, there w<strong>as</strong> never a time like it before, or none since."<br />
"Then a very strange thing happened. Primitive man appeared. The demons were puzzled. Primitive<br />
humans resembled the animals they hunted and ate, but they had developed language and used tools<br />
and fire. The food animals they resembled remained ignorant be<strong>as</strong>ts. The demons dominated emerging<br />
mankind the same way they did other demons."<br />
"It w<strong>as</strong> at this time that the first vampires appeared."<br />
"Some say that Gaia took the demon blood that had been spilled so freely on her bosom and fed it to a<br />
human that w<strong>as</strong> nearly dead from blood loss; then bound the spirit of the demon to the human before<br />
the body w<strong>as</strong> completely dead, so that after the human died the demon spirit inhabited the body."<br />
"Some say that the first vampire came into being, created by a spell that backfired on a demon, and it<br />
merged him with a human slave that w<strong>as</strong> present. The human didn’t survive, leaving the demon in<br />
control of the body."<br />
"Others said that the First evil created vampires by consuming the mind and soul of primitive humans.<br />
Then forcing demons it had drawn out of the ether for that purpose, into the empty bodies, trying to<br />
create its own children. It didn’t happen <strong>as</strong> it w<strong>as</strong> planned, however, and the bodies died but were<br />
animated by the demons. It kept vampires <strong>as</strong> pets and foot soldiers, to do it’s bidding, and to feed on<br />
the fear and misery of their victims."<br />
"No one really knows. However it happened, the first vampires emerged at the same time <strong>as</strong><br />
humanity."<br />
"The demon lords left the vampires alone for the most part. They couldn’t be trained, by any but their<br />
sires and grandsires. They were intractable and gave no loyalty to any but their own family lines.<br />
Different bloodlines and clans would not work together. They were indiscriminate in their slaughter;<br />
they would feed upon anyone close by when hungry. And they could only move around during the<br />
night hours, but they kept the numbers of humans in the wild down to a manageable level, so they<br />
were allowed to go their own way without interference."<br />
"The first evil called <strong>as</strong> many of them to it <strong>as</strong> would come, and reveled in the worship and blood<br />
letting."<br />
"You must understand that those first primitive vampires are far removed from the vampires we are in<br />
this day and age. Just <strong>as</strong> modern humans little resemble primitive man, primitive vampires were very<br />
different from us. Vampires evolved along with humans. It’s an undeniable fact even though most<br />
vampires in the world now would vehemently deny it and proclaim their superiority over humans.<br />
Without humans there would never have been vampires. The first vampires were stronger, much more<br />
violent than we are and much less intelligent. A vampire is created from merging the personality of the<br />
human that occupied the body and the demon. Most of you know what a newly risen fledge, or childe<br />
is like. Now; visualize early man, his habits and lesser intelligence turned into a creature driven by a<br />
new born demon with an insatiable hunger for blood and violence."<br />
G<strong>org</strong>e paused, glanced around at the group of listeners and one side of his mouth ticked up in a slight<br />
smile at their shudders.<br />
"Many more uncounted years p<strong>as</strong>sed, demon kind bred and crossbred the humans they owned until<br />
they appeared much <strong>as</strong> they do today. The demons culled the weak and defective, turned them loose
