Union by Night

Chapter 17

As RWBY and Damian arrived back at his dorm, they sat down to work on homework, "so can you explain that in an easier way cause I'm still kind of confused on the Camarilla and the Sabbat," said Yang.

"The Camarilla was basically the mafia if it was run by vampires, it was a pyramid scheme and organized crime ring, the oldest and strongest of kindred society at the top, the younger ones fighting for scraps at the bottom, The Sabbat, was a militarized church, like if church and state were never separated and you joined the military to fight and die for God, the Sabbat weirdly enough are fairly loyal to each other, and care for each other, as long as you believe in Caine and shed your humanity oh and were true Sabbat not false Sabbat, you had a chance to rise the ranks, the Camarilla would stab you in the back if it meant rising higher and higher up the ranks," said Damian.

"Don't get me wrong, neither organization was good, both were evil in their own way, the only difference is, the Camarilla cared enough about the herd, to keep it alive, the Sabbat were just fucking stupid and hot headed," said Damian.

"Aren't you a member of the Black Hand?" asked Blake.

"Yes, and in modern nights many of us are quite vocal about how stupid our predecessors were, we see the merits of the Masquerade, but many of us would identify more as Anarchs in that time, or Camarilla if it could change and evolve," said Damian.

"So, aside from that night when you were captured by Union, have you ever met Caine and Lilith face to face?" asked Ruby.

"A few times actually, it's kind of weird, whenever I was training in weapons they'd be passing by, Caine would give me advice, and Lilith would leave a blood bag for me, they don't do that for any other Cainite, sure they have their favorites occasionally, but I've never seen other Cainites train and Lilith leave a snack for them, I've never seen Caine give personal instruction to another Cainite," said Damian.

"What's so different about you?" asked Weiss.

"As I said, no idea," said Damian.

"You guys should go to sleep, nocturnal life style doesn't fit you as well as it does me," said Damian.

Team RWBY left his dorm each one placing a kiss on his cheek as he finished up his homework and laid in his bed.

"What's so different about me, why do they treat me different compared to other Kindred?" Damian thought looking at the ceiling.

Damian felt his eyes close and he knew the sun was rising.

Night

The Union students were talking with their friends waiting for their vampiric teacher to arrive, and she walked in.

"Tonight students we'll be having a special lessons, tonight, we'll discuss the many other vampire like races in our world of darkness," said Rayne.

"Vampire like races, meaning, kindred aren't the only vampires?" asked Ruby.

"Indeed child, for now we'll discuss three races, Kuei Jin, Strigoi, and Culebra, but tonight will be mostly an overview for future lessons, like us many of these races are supernaturally inclined with a history of forbidden knowledge, for us Kindred, Caine was cursed after he murdered his brother and refused to accept forgiveness and salvation," said Rayne.

"The Kuei Jin, the vampires of the east you could say, these vampires descend not from Caine, but from a group of heroes known as the Wan Xian, ten thousand immortal heroes, these heroes were chosen by God who they called the August Personage in Jade, once these heroes were mortals who would pass various tests, and acquire powers over Chi, the Wan Xian were to become learned and amass great power before becoming enlightened and being allowed to enter heaven," said Rayne.
