Decades ago, humans and creatures lived together as one. Always doing things together. Humans are careful, and the creatures know their place.

This continued for years, the peaceful coexistence and relationship that existed between people from different worlds.

Gone were the days, when humans had to cower and hide from these creatures. Gone were the days, when humans would hide in their houses and only come out when it was time to get food.

No, they all lived blissfully. No more blood baths, the death rate of humans decreased drastically. More humans were created, as the decree made by the government was lifted.

A decree was made, when the nymphs started going after newborn humans. 'A WOMAN SHALL BEAR NOT MORE THAN ONE CHILD FOR HER SPOUSE' the decree states.

If the law was breached, the newborn would be taken and killed. No parent or couple, wished for their kids to be taken from them. 

A year after the various lords from all the realms came together with the human government, the decree was lifted.

To this day, everyone wonders why a treaty was signed. How could they have possibly gotten the creatures to back off? These were the thoughts of humans all the time.

The secret behind the newfound relationship that existed between these different worlds, remains hidden from everyone except the lords and the government.

But as the saying goes; 'GOOD THINGS NEVER LAST'. On January 16th, 1957, about 100 deaths were reported to those by the high authorities. 

Not only humans were confused, the mythical creatures were too. Not only humans were killed, but the creatures too. 

No creature could kill people so fast. No creature could suck the blood out of people, before killing them. 

Several tests were conducted on the bodies. They showed the same thing; the same fingerprints, death by bleeding out, and fang marks found on their skins.

This brought up questions and suspicions. Fangs? Most creatures had fangs, but not the bite marks found on those dead bodies.

A meeting was set up. The lords and the government came together again, only this time it was to catch a killer as the death rate was beginning to rise.

Humans began to fear, they separated themselves from every creature. Strong warriors and soldiers from different realms were deployed. 

Soon enough, they were able to catch the killer. At least that was what they thought. He didn't speak, nor did he argue. He paraded around for everyone to see that finally the culprit was caught.

He walked around with a sly smirk on his pale lips. He wore a look of accomplishment and amusement. Some people were weary and smirks in amusement at their defeat.

The smart ones took their offspring and hid in the confinement of their households. And the stupid ones celebrated and continued living normally.

Who could blame them though, no one knew what was going on. No one knew why the criminal was smiling. No one knew why his bright blue eyes gleamed with excitement. 

Not long after he was caught and kept away in a dungeon, more people went missing. More people were found dead. 

They did tests on the new bodies and found the same results. The authorities decided to question the criminal.

He was tortured, beaten, starved, and dealt with. He refused to say anything. On the fifth day, the scourgers noticed changes in him.

"He heals incredibly fast." One of the scourgers reported to the governor. "Fast? How fast?" The governor replied, his wrinkled face contorting.

"Depends on his wounds. When beaten, he heals in five minutes." The scourger answered, bowing his head in respect. 

Knowing that didn't help ease his worries. Another meeting took place, and the demon lord; Onuren, decided to pay the criminal a visit.

"Just who I have been waiting for" the criminal stated, as soon as Onuren and the scourgers stepped into the room.

Not only were the scourgers taken aback by the criminal's words, but Onuren himself was also disturbed and confused. He never recalled meeting the vile criminal.

"Who are you? And what are you called?" Onuren spoke, his voice deep and booming with authority. "It's too early for introductions Demon lord" the criminal chuckled darkly.

"You will answer me, you delinquent." Onuren roared, getting irritated by his words.

"I do not answer to anyone." The criminal said, glaring at Onuren.

"What are you?" Onuren asked in a much calmer voice. "What I am is not important, it's what I have created that is." The criminal smirked

"What are talking about?" Onuren asked him, with raised brows. "You will know soon. A warning, be prepared." He answered, chuckling darkly. 

"I don't think he's ready to answer any of your questions My lord," A scourger said, glaring at the criminal. 

"I can see that. Send an invitation to Argatha; the seeker. We need him now." Onuren ordered, pointing at the second scourger.

The seeker came. The seeker met the authorities and the criminal who remained silent. "I have checked everything, this is danger." The seeker muttered, after his consultation.

"Danger?" Myrama, the queen of sirens voiced out. "Great danger. This creature is a SANGUINARIAN. He feeds on blood and can change humans to his kind.

I'm afraid he said to be prepared because he has turned many. When they are turned, they begin to search for blood. No one is spared." The seeker explained, earning scoffs and gasps from the audience.

"Nonsense. What creature turns a human with one bite?" The governor scoffs, earning a chuckle from Argatha. 

"Secure everyone. Be prepared, the worse is yet to come. I'll take my leave." The seeker said, picking up his items of baggage and leaving the room. 

"You heard him. Start recruiting new and capable warriors and soldiers. This is war." Onuren said, walking out of the room with his subjects.
