Hello, my first chapter of hopefully many for my first fiction, enjoy! (feedback is appreciated!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rosa POV:
"Bloody political marriages!" I shout furiously, shattering a nearby wall in rage, Always "for the clan" yet what about me?, who do they think I am , an object?, A sacrificial lamb?
"Herghhh" I sigh as I slide slowly down the remains of my bedroom wall.
You see I am the 3rd Princess Rosa Crimson Fireheart , a noble Vampire of royal blood with such clarity such purity you can even trace it back to the first vampire Lord Deamount Fireheart himself although I take my mothers maiden name in her memory...
Of course, I am of the core family of the Fireheart clan not one of those lesser branches with flimsy control over blood manipulation spells that they can't even explode a human through his blood.... Anyway I have been trained in our blood magics from my usually quiet but devoted uncle in addition to pervy grandfather (-_-)
I was taught with an education from the finest tutors across our lands who taught me history, latin, languages, culture, noble etiquette everything a princess of the unrivaled royal vampire clan needs to know.
Our territorial region "Darmaul" has more than scholars and tutors (although they are high quality) we have a strong culture based in hierarchy along with the strong who are to be respected if you wish to keep your head.
Darmaul, due to the war a century ago between the vampires and the elves over their religious god Aylena has an interesting weather and season system due to the many "forbidden" magics which left us with only two seasons, the longest season which is called "Farsk" is where the many dusk black clouds stretch along the sky, sometimes joining together to attempt to block out our sun. All of the nightmarish blots heavily contain mana impurities (remnants of the later season) which all undead life naturally are able to absorb and refine but is more difficult than at the later season due to the blood sun not sending out it's "blood" but still allows to become stronger more quickly than at say, a random hill in the despicable elven continent.
The other, somewhat minuscule yet 'overbearing to all' season named "Mekis" lasts only two weeks and has been dubbed by many residents fittingly as "The blood season" in which the sun turns crimson red (from the Darmaul continental viewpoint) withering any foreign plants that haven't learned to hide or adapt it's gaze of blood mana.
For those living under the red sky during the time are so fanatical the residents could be mistakenly dismissed by the lesser races such as the dwarves or humans etc as religious heretics for whatever bullshit they believe in.
Although this is not far off albeit, we're definitely fanatical, as the Markis sun causes any non-elemental mana A.K.A. 'raw mana' to refine into a one-of-a-kind mana which can be absorbed directly as well as easily into our bodies (compared to in the season of Farsk) for the more wide-spread use of soaring up the vampiric ranks in power, For in many rituals and alchemical brews or stored in admanite lined jars to be later used or sold to the rich.

Back to the point I who could be deemed as one of the highest prized woman to many men am to be wed to the the son of the current master of nearby leading "high" Darklight demon clan who currently reside in the larger continent of Erezel.
The cause? You may ask is due to those inferior races such as the elves, humans and puny blacksmith dwarves who declared war on our races so to seal our clans relationships we are to be wed to unite us and are soldiers to form a single army.
Despite my words I don't actually dislike my fiancé rather just my father for forcing it,I met him many times before since we both used to have a similar teacher at an academy we attended due to even more degrading political reasons.
He was too serious when it came to family(he could rival the proudest patriots)but was light hearted around friends. It helps me feel better knowing that recently everyone on both sides of the Vampire and Darklight demon clan are finding him impressive as he had taken upon the role of a general in the current war and has succeeded in many sieges and battles thus far by his strategic mind as well as utilizing the High Darklight Demon clan's bloodlines' exclusive ability to morph their body into that of a shadow demon.
It is an utterly unfathomable existence to many with other than it's main ferocius physical abilities grants the demon mana capacity improvements and allows even the most untalented mage (or boosts the effects of an established one) to use support magics such as necromancy as well as dabbling in the infamous demon summoning with the bloody sacrifices of their pitiful foes along with their main magic spells such as ripping their souls asunder at later stages (7th stage shadow demon).
The ability can be seen unique as not only can it be steadily improved, if the demon in question manages to drink the blood of demonic or magical beasts of at least the 9th rank superior abilities and power increases will occur with the creature in question having a deep effect on the abilties provided.
According to our own vampric records,one of the original ancestors of the Darklight clan was said to somehow have defeated and drunk the blood of a Nightmare Draconic magical beast of 10th rank(A.N.-ranks will be explained later) causing many deformities and horrifying powers that one cannot simply imagine and using them he was able to rival our own lord before he ascended to the higher realms(as far as are historic records inform)
The man who through certain circumstances that have forced themselves upon me is regardless my thoughts my new husband, His name......
Is Murdock Darklight.
