Midnight Creatures Bts au

Prologue

As the last of the sun rays deminish the claws of darkness crept in.

Darkness that cloaked the frozen fields that felt eerie and dangerous to anyone who came into the lands. No one dares traverse past the thick forest into the barren land where a lone castle stand right before the steap cliff. Nothing can be heard but the howling of the wind and the crunch of fallen snow.

No one from the nearby towns passes the Vlad territory, it's wide empty lands and forest with tall dark houses, it could well be called a small county.

People know well of their myths and legends, and this place is the very origin of it. The very ends of the carpathian mountains in romania, where the stories of blood eaters were made.

Those who dared enter never did came back not only did the beasts in the woods would kill them but also the creatures living there.

Vampires.

To the world they are fiction but here, they are revered, worshiped and most of all celebrated.

The first stirring began deep in the heart of the mountains itself. When the first heartbeat of the vampire king resounded to the very earth. No one knew where he came from, only that he was a son of Gaea, mother earth. He was granted with gifts no human could ever possess. He was invincible or so he thought. Yet, he could not stand the light of day against his pale skin nor can he resist the hunger for flesh and blood.

Thus the original vampire had risen.
In his wake the earth moves with him.

But he was alone. Loneliness crept to him, the weakness of a human, which he resembles. So he roamed the lands searching, but like any prey who can sense a predator amidst them, humans avaoided him in fear and many times try to appease him so that he could aid them to men's petty war.

But what can humans give to a god, that he doesnt already possess?

Another's life.

He could never sire children.

So they would offer him sacrifices. In a span of a century he has aided 12 wars in the course of history. He had acquired 12 children in total as well. This children were strong enough to exchange blood with him. Feeding him through his wost hungers and return converting these children slowly by replacing their blood with his. Soon enough these children became like him but more powerful because they have stronger resistance from the sun for being human first.
They were the first children of Vlad, his disciples and protectors. They were called Genesis.

Centuries passed and Vlad was lonely again despite not being alone. He craved what the humans have.
Love.

During the plague in the 10th century he met his beloved. Victoria. She was a kind hearted noble woman who nurses the sick. He fell in love with her kind heart and beautiful face. But she was dying due to the exposure to the sickness.

Strong souls mind and body can only sustain his blood in their system. So he had no other choice but to bite her.

His saliva has healing agents, he didn't know he could change her accidentally since he never tried.
But she did change, becoming like him but lesser than his first children. She could not command the earth but still possess power no mortals have. And she being human can also sire children of their own. These royals then became the second generation children called Exodus.

Those they can convert through bitting became the third generations of nobles called Leviticus. These nobles who convert their subjects into a vampire is called Numbers.

Like commoners they dont possess much power nor compulsion only their strength and speed. Thus, when they try to convert another they corrupt them. Making them ghouls, rogues with insatiable hunger, decaying without it's bloodlust. They call them Blood Crawlers.
