`People believe they are safe, within their homes. That they wield off danger if it ever arrives. But all that, they are lies, a veil of the truth. Cover up of fact-based logic. In my world, there are things you wouldn't eve think of. There are rules that must be followed. A council; Aristocrats; Death Dealers; and the Elders. I am a forgotten elder, hidden in the book of time. There are four elders, not just three. Markus. Amelia. Viktor. And I.

It was foolishly believed that Viktor was the eldest Elder, which was incorrect. Markus is the eldest. The strongest and oldest of us all. He had a twin brother too. William. The first Lycan as Markus was the first vampire, and the other brother to walk the lonely road of mortality as a human. It is a legend hidden. And I was foolish enough to be with these people, to attack myself to them.

There are children of the Elders too. Viktor, a daughter plus two. Markus, a son and that suspected only alone. Amelia, a daughter. While me, in my status having only a daughter and only that. The father known to be Viktor but never truly proven. Sonja. My daughter. And Viktor murdered her. I had loved Viktor till that day, my heart was broken when I heard the ruling for my daughter. To be burned alive all thanks to my husband. And yet it seemed Viktor was only concern for our speices and not of his own kin, his own flesh and blood.

She was in love with Lucian, a lycan slave. He was a good man, in my eyes I could see this as such but Viktor called him a credit to his species. He had mocked Lucian. Sonja loved Lucian as he did her. They were married in secret of course and expecting to have a child. Possibly a son. Hybrid. But Viktor feared the blending of the species, feared it so much he had my daughter…Sonja put to death. Viktor had called it an abomination. His own daughter. His grandchild. Taken away by a so-called crime. What was the crime they had committed? What had an innocent child done that had been so horrible? Being loved? And my dear Sonja. She was the most courageous warrior I had ever seen. A compassionate hunter. I loved my daughter deeply, I still do. Viktor claimed that he was doing what was necessary. While Amelia and Markus did nothing. I loved my daughter and my grandchild deeply, I still do.

I had loved easily in my life, so foolish enough to open my heart to people that I have met. I have learned my lesson of trust. One cannot be prejudice though. It is a rather nasty habit though, that being my opinion and mines alone. I loved William as I did Markus, as I did Viktor. Kraven, yes, I know. I loved many as I have lost. I am not one to neither forgive easily nor do I forget, never forget. I remember for it might help me in the future. I have seen many things in my life, some disturbing and others eventful. My name is Vinessa, I am an Elder and I have loved as I have lost. Do not forget the arithmetic of Judas that plays.
