Prologue:
I entitle these tales ‘My Coven’ because it is my life and me telling the tales of how I met my friends and eventually created a coven with their help. To most these will be nothing more than mere stories of a gothic writer, but believe as you will.
Let me, before I truly begin, start with my name and a basic background of myself: I am called Nozomi Yun, the adopted child of Manchu Yun. Manchu was a shaolin master who in turn trained me to be his equal, I favoured staff battles. I am, obviously of Chinese origins and am a 3732 year old vampire, I was created during the late years of the Shang dynasty in 1721BC. You may, or may not, learn more of me in the coming tales.
People for many hundreds of years have believed that when a body dies its soul, or spirit, is set free. It is a little known fact that this isn’t strictly true. The spirit of someone or something usually stays with the body until it is released, and to do this you must destroy the body. This is usually done by the method of cremation. To create a vampire you must release the spirit without destroying the body, this is usually done at the point of near death. Unfortunately the method for actually doing this is a rare piece of intelligence, some of the even older among us still retain this information however they are somewhat reluctant to share it. Humans created vampires. It was an accident, obviously, but nevertheless they created us and yet in all the mortals’ literature they seek to destroy us for we are ‘monsters’. We can only be destroyed by losing our souls to the fire. As for the blood drinking, I shall explain: For all intents and purposes our bodies are dead and continually need to be replenished by new blood, and over the millennia that we have existed we have developed means to survive. We sleep during the day because we are somewhat ‘allergic’ to sunlight, the UV rays penetrate our skin then proceed to ignite our blood. The fangs I doubt need explanation but for the ‘not so bright’, they are needed to be able to break the skin of our victims. Our intensified features are simply because our form is what a true spirit looks like, the body is only a dull replica of its soul. When you read modern vampire novels or stories they often talk about being able to sense other night dwellers, well this, for the most part, is true: Although you can only sense others who are not of the same creator.
