The old, shriveled man sat hunched over before his book. He was old beyond age. He and his peers had stopped counting the years long ago. His eyes were almost blind, and so, his nose almost touched the paper while he wrote with his quill. He knew that the younger ones had said:
"Nowadays, you don't write using one of these, you use a computer."
He smiled. There where more wrinkles and furrows in his face than anything else, and when he smiled, his face contorted itself into a grimass that shared only little with a human face.
"Com-puuuh-taaah..."
It sounded so funny. He did not like new technology. For someone like him, who wandered the earth for so long, this kind of technology was more like magic than anything. He remembered someone saying to him:
"When technology as advanced enough for one self, it becomes magic."
He pondered this thought for a moment and came to the conclusion, no technology could not be magic. He knew what magic was, and this was not it. He looked down on his book. It was a big one. Many pages to fill. On the other hand, he hand a long story to tell.
He took his quill and began to write:
In the beginning, there was but one.
In a time before time. In an age of darkness and dispair. One stepped out of the darkness.
His name, forgotten by time, is known as Primus Pater. The first father, or the first of many. He had surrendered his humanity voluntarily to become something new.
Something more than human, but at the same time something less humain.
He became the first of the Vampyr, the first of the blood-drinkers. Or what's now known as a Vampire. Bound by the night and the moon, he prowled in the darkness and hunted the living, since he need their lives to further his own. He sought to find a suitable partner for himself, as he was alone in his predicament. In many experiments he tried to find a way to share his newly aquired powers, but he failed for a long time. When he finally succeeded and created a new vampire he went to great lengths to preserve the method to use, so more of his kind could be created.
His method is passed down as followed:
To create a female vampire, the woman is to be of adult age. She is not to be pregnant, as this state will prevent the transformation and make it impossible to create a vampire, and to not descimate the proliferation of sustenance.
When a suitable female is found. The vampire is to lay with her and perform the act. When the climax is reached the vampire is to bite the neck of the woman and drink her lifeblood. At this time his seed is to enter her cavity and is to kill all of her...
The old man scratched his head with his quill.
