He scans her body with an appraising eye. He has a small, sarcastic smile on his face, playing with a ball of blackness that had suddenly appeared, as he continued to sip the drink He says:
Well, you are well preserved for one of Matriarch stage. How long ago was the curse of vampiricy removed? What is the nature of your current curse? Do you still maintain our greatest strengths, but are no longer undead. Maybe my story will help.
I was born under the name Orion Shadowbane, the son of two extremely powerful Veran Werewolf Guardians. I, as expected of all Veran Children, was to follow my parents lead, and eventually take over guardianship of my own home. Unfortunately, before I was to begin my full training, I was kidnapped by enemies of my parents. Powerful vampires. This was before my kind became immune to the Siring, since I have reentered the ranks, I have inherited my brethrens powers, but I still hold my vampiric mark. I was the first Forsaken One. I was the first veran to become a child of the night, instead of the moon. I spent years, traveling around, trying to find a cure for my curse. During this time, I slew my parents. Eventually, I found the cure, but not before staying a vampire for over 6000 years. As can be seen, I still appear no older than 13, because of my transformation. I am stuck in this form for eternity, until I am slain. Upon returning to the living, I was still wracked by the blood lust, I was still harmed by the sun, I shunned the holy, silver burned me. I was a creature of all the weaknesses, and none of the strengthes. After a fair amount of traveling, I found one who could help. Now, I am once again Veran, though I stiil hold some vampire traits. Light still in uncomfortable, direct sun hurts, and I still need blood once a month. Human blood. But I do gain my vampire and werewolf powers combined, and none but mighty Tarran and Amaru can hope to compare to me. I wish to help you. Tell me what you can of yourself and the curse upon you, and I will see what I can do. I believe I can help. I want to.
Sorry, I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Ryan Shadowchild, Veran,vampire, sorceror.
