Okay, here's the sequel to Vampire Chronicles: It Begins. If you're here and haven't read that story yet, go read it now. This story will then make more sense to you.
I only have one and a half chapters written of this fic so far, so updates will probably not be as frequent as they were with the last story. I'm sure I could punch a chapter out a day, but then I'd be sacrificing the quality of the story and I don't want to do that. The story gods would smite me. So you guys'll just have to be patient and wait for chapters.
I own nothing recognizable in this story. If I did, I'd be rich and the fans of Stargate would know if Sam was with Jack by now. There wouldn't be any of this: So are you single now? I'm actually seeing someone junk. I don't like mind games like that. They confuzzle me. And I am easily confuzzled.
Enough of my yammering, enjoy the prologue.
The Dark Mother Lilith is the mother of ancient vampires. She was bloodthirsty and vicious, slaughtering countless lives so that she could slake her thirst. She terrorized the ancient world. Even the gods themselves feared her. Some of her offspring were just as vicious as their mother, wiping out entire villages and populations. The only reprieve humanity was able to receive was in the form of the rising of the sun that drove Lilith and her children into the darkness of the earth. It was during this time that the bodies of the victims of the vampires were torn apart and burned so they would not rise as well.
As time progressed, so did the killings. As the human population rapidly dwindled, three vampires joined forces and vowed to put a stop to Lilith and her deadly children. These three vampires pledged to rid the world of those loyal to Lilith. A war soon broke out between vampires. The battles were long and brutal, many vampires losing their lives. Victory seemed far off.
A full century after the conflict had began; two vampires were able to make their way into Lilith's stronghold. They fought their way through dozens of vampires and lycans, never stopping until they reached the chambers of the Dark Mother. They faced off, and after a long battle Lilith lay dead. Her body was taken and hidden away so that no one could revive her.
The three vampires now faced a new threat. The children of the Dark Mother were still causing havoc and mayhem among the human populous. They formed a ruling group of vampires, known now as the Council, that all vampires had to obey. The Dark Mother's offspring were quelled into submission and peace settled over humanity.
The three vampire heroes were now the eldest of all vampires. As the centuries began to progress, it was decided by the elders to begin jumping through time. Two elders would remain asleep while only one ruled with the Council. The lone elder would reign for one century. At the end of their reign, they would awaken the next elder to take their place and rule for a century until it was time for the third elder to reign.
Even though peace had returned to the world, it was possible for it to be easily shattered. A prophecy was made four hundred years after the fall of the Dark Mother that she would one day return. A cult was soon formed and they began sacrificing humans to Lilith. The war had been reignited and continued for several centuries, neither side giving way to the other.
The war continues to this day with no hope of ending in the near future. If it can be discovered how the Dark Mother will return, then perhaps the elders and Council can prevent it from happening. Until that time, though, the war will continue with deadlier weapons of the century.
