Prologue
Sicilian Islands, Italy 1412
A pregnant Chiropteran had hidden herself among a grove of dying trees. She was about to give birth to twins, two new Chiropterans queens, the first to look like humans. As lightning lit up the sky, the humans pursuing the fanged monster could see it clearly, hiding in the trees in a pool of blood, holding two cocoons. The monster lifted its tired eyes towards the mortals, breathing hardly. The humans raised their weapons cautiously at the creature. It let out a roar and ran with the cocoons.
One of the humans had a bow and arrow. He released an arrow at the fleeing monster. It went straight through its right arm and into the cocoon it was holding, spewing blood on the left cocoon. It pumped with a hearts beat, absorbing the blood. A horrid scream could be heard coming through the punctured cocoon. The monstrous creature roared and ran faster disappearing into the forest, never letting go of the two cocoons.
The rain fell on the saddened Chiropteran, holding the wounded cocoon as it started to crystallize. The new queen, her baby, her daughter, never to hatch from the cocoon and look at her mother, the world, or taste blood, died right when it was born. The mother let out a sorrowful cry as the cocoon broke into pieces with a eerie screech. As the rain died down and the mourning stopped, the crackle of breaking web and the cry of a newborn could be heard.
The Chiropteran looked at her remaining daughter. She had goldish-green eyes and her hair like hazel. She nuzzled her crying child, comforting it. But the Chiropteran knew it would be dangerous for her child to stay, she would only suffer the same fate as her sister.
The new queen had already fallen asleep by the time her mother arrived at an old farm. The candlelight shining through the house's windows showed the someone did indeed live here. Quietly, the mother moved towards the door, babe in hand. Painfully she placed her only daughter on the cobblestone doorstep. She put her hand on the babes head and stroked her beautiful hair. As she was about to lift her hand from the child's head, the door opened, and an elderly man stood in the doorway.
He looked at the strange creature in front of him and his face filled with fear and fascination, but that soon turned to sorrow and pity as he looked in its eyes. The creature backed away, bowing then disappearing. The man looked down and found a sleeping child wrapped in a cocoon slumbering at his doorstep.
"What do we have here?" the man said in Sicilian. "A babe? Well, I surely can't leave something so small and helpless out here. I shall look after you as my own, little one." He brought her inside, shutting the door behind him.
From within the trees, the Chiropteran solemnly looked back at the old man taking her daughter into the safety of his home. This was the last time she was ever going to see her baby.
