The lizard creature explodes in a shower of green ooze. When this ooze hits the walls and the floor, it starts crawling towards itself, creeping to form a single mass. Meanwhile you can already hear the sounds of other creatures coming to investigat…
I once sought great power. I looked through books, but the great books had been destroyed. I sought the wise, but the wise do not share their secrets easily. It was when I looked for the impossible that I started to get close.
I met him in a dark alley...He didnt know the ways of power, but he knew those that did. Through him i was opened to the secret world. I met masters of the unseen crafts. I became stronger.
However I did not understand what the power means. I grew, but I did not expand. Soon I had reached my capacity...
Now I spend my days on the brink. I can barely type even these words because the pain is unbearable. One day I will find the answer, but for now, I cant think, I cant
I gently touch your hand to help ease the pain.
I laugh softly not at your pain but at your question
"my new friend, if you look closely at mortals you can easily see what kind of soul they have. If I have any doubts at all, then to follow them for a short time will quickly squash any doubts I may have"
I turn to look at your face to see if you are still listening
I continue
"I have always not been this way -- in the very beginning I was angry at everything and would prey on anything and anyone who crossed my path"
I motion to a fallen log so that we may sit.
"I have not always been in control of my thirst. For many decades I feed on whatever was nearby when the thirst began."
I look to see if you are listening and then continue
"I found that by killing mortals, it brought much attention and that was not welcomed. As time progressed and the more I wandered the more I saw of the evil side of mortals. It was at that time that I feasted upon the wicked, rapists, murderers and the like. I learned to keep my thirst at bay until I found such a mortal. "
I stop talking for a moment and lower my head
" well kind sir, just what would you like to know about me? I am a vampire and have been for decade. I wasn't always as calm and collected as you see me now"
I bow my head and then look in your eyes to see your reaction
I grab two branches from somewhere and rub them together at enornouse speeds, until they start to smoke. A fire comes to life between the branches, catching the wood itself. I take the flaming torch and heave it at your misting form, and the mist burns searing you.
YOUR TRICKS DONT WORK ON ME BLOOD LUSTER!!!!!!@!@#!!#@!!
"Ah, but kind sir, I never said I feasted on humans or innocent ons for that matter." I look back in your eyes
"I search for those that do harm to others and take care of them myself or I will feast on animals. Does this disgust you?"
I search your face for answers
I look at you sadly for a moment
"I must feed" I will be back in 2 days -- will you please wait for me?"
I hated leaving, but it was something I had to do --- survival
