Fear. Fear is what makes our world so twisted and bloody. Misunderstanding leads to so much death and pain, I have seen only too much of each and I can say I have had my fill. People close their minds to things that are not understandable or normal to them, so many suffer, so many die. Power is the drive for so many, and cowards submit to those with power, no matter who they are they value their lives way too much. Lives come and go like the days and nights, and the hope of many are diminished or restored by very few.
I suppose you must be wondering, 'What kind of world is this?' It's my world. It's been my world for as long as I can remember…and that's a long time. In my world humans aren't the only ones who live here, there are others. Vampires for one, Barbaroi are another and even a demon or two or three hundred. There are also those born who are a product of a human and a vampire, they are Dunpeals…and I guess they are the most powerful race, they can walk in the day but must be careful for if exposed to the heat to long heat syndrome sneaks up on them. They can kill vampires easier then any human…they can feed on humans if they wish…or they can befriend them. Now who am I? I know its what you're thinking. Well to be honest I am a Dunpeal…my mother was human and my father was obviously a vampire. Funny thing is I don't know who he was, no one ever told me…all I knew was that my father left me in a village to be raised by my mother's family. Not one of them mentioned him to me, I don't know even know his name, I suppose it doesn't matter though, he can be dead for all I know…slain by a bounty hunter…or he can be alive somewhere…who knows really. After my eighteenth birthday I never aged again…see being a Dunpeal like myself means I will never age…I'll stay looking eighteen forever until I die…however that turns out. I am exactly six hundred and fifty years old and the world has not changed a day since my birth. I have dedicated my life to restoring order in my world; I try to create a balance between vampires, humans and barbaroi. I know it's a stretch of the imagination but that's what I work towards…my mother would've wanted it that way; her and my father overcame many odds to be together…yet that never lasted. The product of their love was me, yet that isn't very comforting…their time together was not long but there was a strong love shared. I believe it was after my birth that they were separated and they never saw each other again I don't think. I am now a bounty huntress, if paid the right price I go and do jobs that usually require the recovery of a kidnapped loved one or something like it. I have never failed a job yet in my centuries of missions, I don't plan on starting anytime soon either.
Now to the main question…why are you here? You know why? I do…you're here to listen to my story starting now. I have a lot ahead of me that I doubt I'll live through. For me being a bounty huntress means facing the possibility of death everyday, for me its ok, I've lived long enough I would think. I am the best of the best in my field of work, with the exception of one…another Dunpeal…named D. He is formally known as amongst everyone as The Great Vampire Hunter D. I never really ever spoke to him, either he leaves the same scene before me or vice versa, yet there is something about him that I can't shake. Whenever I see him and we look at each other its like for a second or so our minds are linked and we are connected through some type of psychic bond. It always confuses me, what's worse…we have been assigned to the same mission. Several young women have been kidnapped from the town of Lunas only two nights ago, apparently the kidnappers are vampires. Tonight I head out after them, and I will most likely run into D again.
