Zayland has an undying, never ending passion for reading and learning. He studies most of the day away, but his secret pleasure is reading romance novels, which are not allowed in the Vampire community. His blonde hair, like most of the vampires have is slightly long and always seems to be laying so perfectly. He has a slender, yet muscular body and walks so gracefully. Zayland came across some old romance novels in a forbidden chamber at the sacred Vampire church, a place Vampires go to worship and learn about their creators, and has been obsessed ever since, hoping one day he might get to experience such passion and love that he knows nothing about. In fact love is forbidden. You are put in an arranged marriage when the creators decide and that's who you are stuck with for all eternity. The creators believe love makes you weak. Zayland is a new vampire. His parents, after waiting centuries, were given permission by the High Vampires who speak to the creators to have a child. He is the youngest and has only lived one life so far and is literally only 19 years old. A mate is yet to be born for him but with him already being 19 he will have to wait till he is ageing backwards and a child again for his mate to possibly be born. Zayland feels fortunate he gets to wait because he can't fathom being forced into a life with someone.
"Zayland," his mother snaps at him, "are you day dreaming again."
"Um just gonna go walk the court yard and imagine life outside of our small gated community."
"Erase those thoughts from your mind my child. Soon your life will have meaning." Aryan says.
"Yeah, sure, whatever." Zayland says annoyed because his mother tells him this all the time.
Zayland goes out the courtyard to dream of a different life, wondering how the vampires have lived in a cage for centuries when he is just 19 and can barely stand it. The court yard is shaped as a big circle with a winding walk way all the way to the middle where a big fountain stands.
Zayland sits on the edge of the fountain and lays down, slowly drifting off.
Awaking from a daydream, Zayland realizes it's almost dark and he must hurry to the church before nightfall. Missing church is punishable by the higher Vampires, however they see fit.
"Getting here just in time as usual." An old slow voice creeps behind Zayland.
"Um, yes sir." Zayland stutters realizing it's one of the high vampires.
"Your 20th birthday is coming up, we have yet to decide where to put you. The creators seem indecisive about you..." the old grey Vampire says slowly.
"Heh..." Zayland nervously makes a sound.
The high Vampire walks slowly up the aisle to begin his sermon.
Ignoring everything as usual, Zayland yet again stays in his thoughts. Wondering what his 20th could bring.
