Prologue
The Myth (The One)- A vampire with limitless and unparalleled gifts. One who has the ability to have all human traits as well as supernatural; these include procreation, and the ability to withstand sunlight. They have the same strength and ability to self heal as other vampires. The One is a direct descendent of the original vampire Andrayus, more commonly known as Dracula.
Many centuries ago in a dark desolate time, a vampire who went by the name Andrayus, ruled all of Romania. As time marched on, he would eventually be written and researched as the first true vampire; the original and the legendary Count Dracula. The Count Andrayus, as only his most trusted new him by, roamed many surrounding lands creating his army. His soldiers were turned and had to vow allegiance-an unbreakable vow for all of eternity.
As time passed and many towns were slaughtered, the count enslaved and granted no freedom to those who begged for it. One of his enslaved commoners, a human woman named Camille was defiant and proud; qualities that captured his heart. In doing so, she gifted Andrayus the ability to become the man he was meant to be and let go of the monster he was. Their love affair was unheard of; blasphemous within the vampire community. A human and a vampire were never to mate and because of this, several of his most loyal soldiers betrayed him by kidnapping her and the vampire half breed she carried in her womb. These captors were never found nor revealed.
In Andrayus's overwhelming grief and exhausting search to find his love, he exiled himself in his castle for all eternity.
History has led common society to believe that Dracula simply became nothing more but ash when word reached him of Camille and his child's death.
Others have maintained that Andrayus lives on; a punishment he dealt unto himself for not protecting his love and his true bloodline. It was whispered that be he dead or alive, he would return when his true heir accepted their birthright. In doing so this vampire would be more powerful than any other. He or she would be unstoppable and would rule.
Many have debunked the one they called "the Myth", claiming their presence would've been felt and known by now. Some said with the times and humanity the Myth would've been mistakenly destroyed. Possession of such power would've branded him or her a witch and be sentenced to death or having mental illnesses and through the paranoia of humans would have been destroyed.
Others believed that Andrayus's bloodline died with Camille. One of these believers was Aro; ruler of the Volturi. He was a devious and sinister vampire, who once was among Andrayus's most trusted soldiers. Now he claimed to be the authority on all of the vampire nation at Andrayus's supposed final request.
Aro was a collector; a collector of vampires with powerful gifts that he could use at his disposal and to his ultimate advantage by corrupting and creating fear in all. Due to his actions, he managed to create a very powerful army he called "the Guard". Volturi decisions were cruel and final and never questioned; not one coven or vampire would ever defy them or what they stood for, and no member of the Volturi would ever allow rumors of Andrayus's resurrection, of whom Camille's true captors were or the existence of the one they called "The Myth"...
...That is…until now.
