Chapter One: The Beginning


For centuries stories about vampires and werewolves chilled and thrilled people around a cozy fire. They'd tell fictitious tales, scare one another, and have a good laugh about it later.

But it's not all fun and games. Not many humans know the true story. Those who do pass it on with a new twist every time. They're a secret society who formed two hundred years after the first vampire and werewolf armies. These humans are the Condrikes. The leading family is the Etsuko's. Daichi Etsuko is the 'king' of the Condrikes. No member crosses him.

Our kind came well into the past. Some time in the first century or before. It started with a forbidden love between a prince of Germany and a princess of France.

Adalric Stein was to follow in his father's rein until he met Celeste Dubois while taking a visit of France's country side. Never before had mixed breeding been popular. But that night things changed; the future was forever recurved.

It was an unsuccessful try when they spoke with their families. Celeste's father soon forbade her to see Adalric. Before he was forever casted out Celeste told him that she loved him and that twin boys would be born of her.

Within the month both families got together to figure out what should be done. The following week an epidemic fell upon the people of Eastern Europe. Called by their families Celeste and Adalric were confronted. After nothing worked they were cursed. That night Celeste and Adalric disappeared, only to be resurrected eighteen years after their sons' births.

One of French and the other of German, Asce and Azzo were at first the best children parents could ask for. Things began to change by their tenth year. The curse brought on by their parents' families started to flow through their blood. By twenty Asce became known as Ambrosius the Immortal, Azzo as Raful the Noble Wolf. At the turn of the second century Ambrosius and Raful each had an army of loyal demons.

No matter how many battles they fought in neither side could win. They came to realize that several things prevented them from overpowering the other. They were born of the same mother, father, and day. The human names they were given intertwined one another, keeping a balance.

In the third century sightings of vampires and werewolves were a common threat to the human community. It grew when talk of a cure had been discovered.

Before her death, Celeste wrote the history of her family and the curse of her children. Along with any curse is a cure. Along with any cure is a difficult task. Blood was the ultimate sacrifice. But not just any blood; it needed to be special.

The hunt for the Prodigy; the Wunderkind. The child whom's blood sacrificed will end the feud and allow the cursed to become normal once again.

Thus beginning the Prodigical War.
