Children of Lilith Act 1: Chapter 1 Genesis of the Lilin, a Terra Nova + Stargate: Atlantis Crossover fanfic

SO, here's another crossover of mine, this one is a crossover between Stargate SG1 and Terra Nova mostly but with some influence from the old RPG Vampire the Masquerade

The first chapter was a prologue/Pilot to give the more immediate background to this story, now comes more background about the Lilin and their origin.

Well enough of that, read the story and all will become clear…I hope.

OH, and if y'all want the right mood, listen to the soundtrack from the game Vampire the Masquerade Redemption which can be found on Youtube, while reading this…

After their defeat by the nightmarish Wraith the Lanteans as the descendants of the Alterrans then styled themselves returned to the planet they had named Terra in ages past before leaving for the Pegasus galaxy, they went about redesigning their second evolution that had originally been created to serve as the guardians of the now fallen Alterran Civilization.

As their corporeal numbers dwindled due to ascension they decided that instead of being the guard dogs the new race would serve as the ultimate bio weapon, to avenge against the ancient enemies of the Alterrans.

One of their number named Lilith however decided to go a little further and made a race that would be a natural enemy of the Wraith as well as the upstart Goa'uld, with abilities far more powerful than the ordinary humans.

Secluded in her labs at a place called Enoch she went to work.

Her creations – her children called themselves Lilin in her honour, but the other Lanteans frowned upon Lilith and sought to destroy her creations by creating a deluge that washed over the lands of Enoch but the Lilin survived and went into hiding, their once united race splintered into several Lineages, and over the course of the millenniums all developing different traits, goals and means, some saw themselves as the protectors their mother wanted them to be, others as a master race that in order to protect, they needed to dominate mankind and any lesser Lilin.

The race had fractured and while trying to hide themselves from their human kin sometimes ruled over human kind as either benevolent protectors or as tyrannical despots,

In some places and eras, they were worshipped as gods for their ability to live long lives by consuming the lifeblood of other creatures, laws and traditions were made in order to keep the race from turning into bloodthirsty fiends.

But, their need to feed on blood became legends of horror despite their attempts…

But of Lilith, nothing was ever heard of her again…

…

… Tribe Bestial….

The first of the Lilin race created by Lilith were an unmitigated disaster as they possessed little more thought other than to maim and devour.

They rampaged on Terra until finally stopped by Lilith's later creations that would be her favoured children.

These abominations would later be known as Tribe Bestial though with little to no unity or organization…

They were known in the legends of the other humans as; demons or fiends

…

….. Children of Lilith….

The first Lineage was simply the united faction of the Lilin race, they dwelt in the place called Enoch,

Founded by the two ancient Lilin Gilgamesh and Mohini around 7900 BC, later when Gilgamesh was slain by the Goa'uld Ra the lineage splintered as Mohini and her followers fled into the jungles of the Indian sub-continent…

…

….. Followers of Vishnu…

After the death of Gilgamesh,

Founded by the eldest known Lilin Mohini of whom legends were made by the creations of the Alterrans, she was on some places worshipped as a goddess by a variety of names.

This lineage dwelt in the jungles of the mysterious east that would be known as India by the later human civilizations, they led the struggle against the Goa'uld.

Always mysterious – even to their Lilin kin – and about their founder Mohini little was told though most modern Lilin scholars believes she must have perished of old age – for not even Lilin are immune to the ravages of time unless they feed continually on blood, and even then…

…

….…. Fenris Brood….….

In the latter days, just prior to the deluge, a creature was born – for he was like no other creature on Earth, Lilin or human.

For a time, he dwelt with the other Lilin until it was decided by younger Lilin to banish him and his followers as their visage and behaviour was considered too feral and reminded the other Lilin of the time when the Bestials ravaged the Earth.

Not long after the lands of Enoch were covered in a massive deluge and the Children of Lilith divided further, spreading across the Earth…

He wandered into the lands to the far north his name was Fenris, he and his children eventually founded the Fenris Brood and these were known as werewolves in human legend and were as reviled as they were feared throughout history.

They were known by other Lilin as Fenrians.

The anger and feral nature as well as their constant blood feuds with those that in ages past had banished them from Enoch eventually culminated during the 19th human century when they finally disappeared after continual conflicts with younger lineages, after which they past into myth and legend… even among other Lilin…

…

…. Clan Lucifer….

Born long after the sundering of the Children of Lilith, Lucifer was the proudest and known for his vanity among the Lilin, always thought of himself as the given leader of the Lilin race in the time of the struggle against the Goa'uld.

He founded the lineage known as Clan Lucifer and they became known for their bloodlust and cruelty, and they were feared for this reason but also hated by many for their evil practice of diablerie – the act of consuming and draining the lifeblood of those they fed upon but most reviled was that they even diablerized their fellow Lilin gaining them many enemies as well as becoming the very reason that most Lilin would be feared as the most nightmarish creatures that in human legends would be known as vampires… among whom was the dreaded Vlad Drăculești, also known as Tepes or the Impaler, among other well-known Luciferians was a man simply known as Jack…

Of Lucifer, only legends remained, for he was not heard of again…

…

….. Clan Dido….

Founded by the ancient Lilin known as Dido, who was a queen of the city of Tyre in the lands of the Canaanites that would later be known to Greeks and Romans as Phoenicians meaning The Red people, After the Goa'uld had been forced to abandon the Earth, she led her followers both Lilin and human to a place far from their home and founded the city of Qart-ḥadašt or Carthage.

They lived openly with human kind (Also called the "Kine") in mutual respect, this would eventually draw the ire of other Lilin.

Ages later the city was destroyed by the Romans under the secret leadership of the Lilin lineage of the House of Romulus, it was said that Romulus himself, jealous and fearful of how openly the Didoans lived with the humans as all Lilin feared the ascended Alterrans that were suspected of having caused the deluge.

Romulus slew Dido as he diablerized her in front of the burning city and then threw her lifeless body on the fires…

Clan Dido fled the city and spent centuries in hiding to rebuild their numbers and plan revenge against those that had betrayed them…

It was together in a tenuous alliance with the Fenris Brood that they aided in the eventual fall of Rome…

…

…..… Cult of Horus….….….

The founder of this lineage was said to be the son of the real god Osiris and many were the legends told of his adventures, it was Horus and his followers that helped defeat the last Goa'uld stronghold in the lands known as Egypt driving the Goa'uld Set into hiding after having annihilated his armies.

He was eventually slain and diablerized by Lucifer sometime around 1000 BC which was the first recorded mentioning of the practice of Diablerie.

Ages went by as the Cult of Horus kept themselves hidden from Human and Lilin alike while vainly trying to stem the spread of the Abrahamitic religions, or using them against their hated Luciferian enemies that by that time had settled into South-eastern Europe…

…

…. Clan Tuatha De Danann…

Founded by an ancient Lilin known only as Danu sometime around 2000 BC, theirs was a warlike way almost rivalling the Fenrians,

Often accused of practicing diablerie which the Romulii used as an excuse for continual blood feuds that almost vanquished them completely.

Their home was in the lands ruled by the Celtic humans by whom they were worshipped as gods…

…

…. Society of Archimedes…

Founded by the scholarly Lilin Archimedes, and theirs was the tradition of knowledge to gain and keep it.

Their sanctum was the Greek city of Syracuse from which they were driven by the House of Romulus,

Archimedes himself was slain by roman soldiers – or so the tale of his passing goes…

…

…. House of Romulus….

Founded by the Ancient Lilin Romulus after he slew and diablerized his brother Remus.

Romulus and his followers then founded the city of Rome for their dream was to unite both humankind as well as Lilin by whatever means that they found necessary.

Romulus feared the Didoans harmony with the humans of the city of Carthage and went to war as they feared the wrath of the by then only known as Ancients.

Romulus and his followers even denounced Lilith and gave homage to the Ancients, and created a religion to their honour.

And in the fall of Carthage he personally slew Queen Dido by diablerie, this drew the anger of his older kin Fenris as the older Lilin had loved Dido since ages past, and during the fall of Rome, Romulus was slain by Fenris – who drained his body to the very last drop of blood, as the Fenrian led Germanic hordes sacked the city.

The surviving Romulii swore a blood feud unto the Fenrians and together with the Luciferians fought the beasts until the Fenrians finally slipped into myth and legends for they were never heard of again.

The House of Romulus would regain much of their power as they took a leading role in uniting mankind and Lilin, deciding that both races needed firm leadership…

And for a time, they ruled almost unchallenged in the West…

…

….. Society of Clementine….….

Born during the year 25 AD, to a Lilin woman known as Mary, Clementine sought to lessen the pains of both Lilin and Humankind and disguised herself and her followers as a Christian sisterhood in the lands ruled by the Franks,

What others may have seen as a weakness the Clementinians saw as true virtue as they became the healers of the Lilin, able to heal all but the deadliest of ills seemingly by touch, their weakness was that they could not bear to feed on the blood of humans, for their path was the Via Humanitas or the Road of Humanity.

Even though Clementine herself was executed by the Inquisition around the year 1200, her followers and descendants continued her work…

…

… Clan Callidora…

Born in the human year 900 AD, Callidora meaning gift of beauty, for she grew into a legendary beauty, and though vain not nearly as vain as Lucifer.

Callidora was the daughter of Clementine and she took it upon herself to guard and develop the arts of both Lilin and Humankind.

In the modern day, the Callidorans are the masters of all the arts of beauty and constantly strive to develop them further, they are to this day still ruled by a Contessa, as most other Lilin believe that Callidora herself must have perished long ago…

…

… Tribe Wendigo…

Sometime around the Earth year 1700 On a thankfully nameless world in a long-forgotten laboratory of Lilith, the Goa'uld system lord Nirrti discovered stasis pods of Ancient design with strange creatures forgotten perhaps by Lilith herself, and as typical for her race, Nirrti meddled with things of which she knew little and awoke the horrors that slept inside,

These horrors were Bestials, and it was only her luck that Nirrti managed to escape while the fiends rampaged across the world slaying her minions with only a few escaping with her.

As well as on Earth it was also around the Galaxy lived so called Dormants, Lilin not yet Lilin that had been seeded by Lilith – one of these had been blended with one of Nirrti's Goa'uld minions,

Dormants were humans that was born to a Lilin and a Kine, such bloodlines could lay dormant for generations until the right conditions eventually gave birth to a Lilin usually during the child Dormant's puberty.

One Bestial realised this for in all Lilin is the ability to sense if a human is a Dormant and thus a possible future Lilin, it – for Bestials have never been known to be either male or female and could only propagate through this method – spun a cocoon of its blood drool encasing the unfortunate victim and the already blended Dormant blended further with its parasitical captor and after some time a true nightmare emerged from the chrysalis.

Like its parent, it was a hulking brutish monstrosity large even by Bestial standards, but worse still was that unlike its parent's kind, it had the ability for thought and reason though only thoughts of pure villainy and it was given a name…

Abaddon the Defiler… and he was the first of his kind as he had the nightmarish nature of its parent while retaining much of the knowledge of its shared Goa'uld origin…

…

….. ACT 1, AND SO IT BEGINS….

As he stood on the bridge of the old Hebridian starship and watched the mushroom clouds starting to settle on the Earth, he sighed, this was not exactly how he had planned it but whoever had been behind this disaster, had in a way done him and his followers a service.

World War Three had taken no more than a few minutes and had in theory been over by the time the first missiles hit their targets.

But Henry Radcliff and his followers of the Order of the Phoenix – an offshoot of the Society of Archimedes – had managed to get off the planet just in time,

Through allies from the planet Hebridan a corporation by the name of the Tech Con Group, them also being outcasts from their world, Henry and his followers was now about to found their own lineage without the meddling of any other Lilin OR humans.

He was not altogether pleased however, his daughter Tashaya had decided on a different course of action, but he knew where she had gone and was planning on addressing this little family dispute.

"My own Lineage, I shall return one day and reunite the Lilin under my leadership." He thought and smiled and turned around as his keen hearing picked up steps behind him.

"Ah, Captain Corso, am I correct?" He said to the man approaching.

Captain Aden Corso saluted, he had much respect for Radcliff as he like him considered that extreme measures were sometimes needed.

He had been liberated from a Hebridian prison colony on what to his people was considered the outer rim, he was in gratitude to this old man that seemed weirdly more virile than he looked.

"Sir, welcome aboard the Faolán. We have picked up all the cargo and the people that you designated and are ready to enter hyperspace. All we need now is astrogation coordinates to where you need us to take you." Aden said, he spared a glance at the planet below and wondered if it was actually true that humans had originated there.

"To think, that there is one world without alien meddling?!" He thought.

"Ah yes, here they are Captain." Henry replied and handed over a plexpad he had appropriated thanks to the Tech Con Group, Despite the corporation now being branded as little more than terrorists on Hebridan they still had some resources to draw upon.

Corso snapped out of his thoughts and walked over and plugged it into the terminal so that his navigator could plot the course.

The navigator spoke to his captain and Corso frowned.

"Sir, these coordinates will take us far beyond what my people consider the outer rim. If we go there, we won't be coming back as this ship will not have enough fuel or other stores for any return trip." Corso pointed out.

Henry smiled.

"Don't worry Captain, you will find that there will be more than enough resources at our destination than you could ever have dreamed of." He said smiling at the younger man.

"You will find Captain, that many things are going to change, for the better." He added.

Corso had enough reason to trust this man considering he owed him for saving him from a life sentence of hard labour, so he didn't ask further.

"Alright, all stations, prepare for hyperspace jump." Corso then ordered as he sat down in his command chair, it was rickety and not properly bolted to the deck as the ship had its best time behind it, which was evident in the rundown appearance of the bridge alone, with some of the machines throwing the occasional spark as they worked.

Henry Radcliff sat down in a chair next to Corso and the navigator finally managed to input the coordinates, and soon the large cargo ship seemed to blink out of existence as it entered hyperspace quickly leaving the war-ravaged planet behind it…

…

….…Deep space, somewhere on the outer borders of the Goa'uld territories…

An Anubis advanced Ha'tak class mothership, its commander, one of Anubis's lesser Goa'uld had thought he had found something of value.

"What do we have here, speak?" Asked Okse with his distorted voice.

"A derelict ship of unknown origin, my Lord Okse." The ranking Jaffa said as he looked at the data about the derelict cargo ship.

"Are there any life signs." Okse queried.

"No, my Lord Okse." The Jaffa reported, Lord Okse impatiently pushed the Jaffa aside and checked the data himself.

"Ah, it seems to be of ancient design." He mumbled almost forgetting to distort his voice.

He knew that some of the Ancient vessels did have a sort of cloaking device that would hide any life signs, though considering the state of which the ship was in he doubted very much anyone was alive on it, after all the Ancients had been long gone from the galaxy.

He turned to his ranking Jaffa.

"Pull that ship in so that we can board it directly." He ordered and flashed his eyes in excitement, the Jaffa scurried away to obey his master's command.

"This prize will give me prestige in front of Lord Anubis." Lord Okse thought as he saw how a number of tractor beams starting to pull the ancient ship to his Ha'tak.

On the ancient cargo ship things were dead quiet as suddenly when the airlock was breached by the Jaffa troop that was now about to board the ship.

In the shadows of the ancient vessel and on hidden places there were movements, subtle and stealthy.

As a patrol of Jaffa walked passed a seemingly normal dusty wall section, a panel slid aside to reveal a dark alcove and suddenly a number of reddish eyes glowed in the dim lighting the Jaffa had brought.

A mouth opened smiling, revealing a pair of fangs shining white in the darkness…

…

On the Pel'tak of the Ha'tak Lord Okse waited impatiently for reports of the condition of his prize,

It had been over an hour.

He thought over the news he had been told by Anubis that the Tau'ri was now finally no longer a nuisance to the Goa'uld.

"Miserable upstarts, if it wasn't for the accursed Asgard, we would have put them in their proper place long ago." Okse thought and decided on contacting his subordinate Jaffa, when the computer beeped.

He tapped the control panel and an image of another Jaffa appeared, this was in the security station.

"My Lord Okse, something is wrong, I cannot raise any of those that went over to the alien ship." The Jaffa said and Okse frowned.

"What about engineering?" Okse asked.

"It has gone dark as well My lord and I have been hearing strange noises…" There was a loud crash and the Jaffa turned around to look what it was, Lord Okse could see through the image the main door to the Security station opened and then closed as if someone had just walked through it but the problem was there was no one there…

The Jaffa turned back and opened his mouth to speak when suddenly seemingly out of nowhere a hand with strangely long nails appeared grabbing the Jaffa's face, the Jaffa's scream was the last Okse could hear briefly before the image was disconnected.

"Have Lord Yu sent some Ashrak to try and take over the Ha'tak?" He wondered.

It be just like that senile old fool to try something now.

"But this vessel, he shall not have." Okse thought and decided to activate the self-destruct function just in case, still of course giving himself enough time to get off the ship.

As he pressed the activation button he roared in frustration as it didn't work.

What was the Tau'ri word now?

Someone were hacking the ships computer and preventing him from destroying it.

He decided on trying to contact the Special security unit and when he finally managed to get an image, all he saw was utter chaos, he could see blood splattering from thin air and then the ninja Jaffa as the Tau'ri had called them were being visible and being slaughtered by a largely unseen enemy force, all that could be seen was something that tore open the Jaffa's throats and blood splattering…

Okse thought that he for a moment could see teeth or fangs in the throat of one of the Jaffa's…

Then the double doors to the Pel'tak opened and Okse swirled around and saw nothing and activated his Kara kesh and using it on full force blasting whatever may be coming through the door, he had realised that whoever was boarding his ship must be using cloaking devices of a similar type as his special Jaffa.

Nothing, no scream or any sound of a falling body.

And too late Okse decided to activate his personal shield, when suddenly a hand with those long claw-like nails grabbed his wrist and deactivated the Kara kesh.

"Tut, tut, tut. Not very nice, to treat thine guests in such a manner." A calm voice in a very superior tone and accent said as the owner of the voice reappeared to show a rather young-looking human with white hair and strangely red – almost glowingly so – red eyes, but that wasn't what Lord Okse thought was the strangest, it was as the man smiled and showed a pair of fangs in his upper jaw…

Lord Okse's own eyes widened as he stared in utter disbelief at his assailant, he was dressed in what looked like a Tau'ri uniform though with strange markings he could not recognize, and then the assailant sank his fangs into the Goa'uld's throat and the last thing Lord Okse saw before being totally drained was the ceiling of the Pel'tak as both his own life and that of his host was drained by this strange and powerful creature…

Nicholas Jacob Smythe, just like all Luciferians drained his victim to the last and enjoyed the taste of the mingled blood of two species on his tongue and hummed in delight at the intoxicating taste of both the symbiote and host the taste of their surprise and fear…

…

The door to the bridge of the now formerly Goa'uld vessel opened and members of the Luciferian Guard came marching in.

"The ship is secured Grand Voivode." The leader reported with a low almost hissing tone.

Nicholas dropped the now dead body of the Goa'uld to the floor and turned to his men smiling with his eyes in seeming ecstasy, the host of the Goa'uld Okse had been dark brown in skin colour, now it looked more pale greyish…

"Good, Send the signal to the other ships and have them meet us here. In the meantime, commandeer a few of those Deathgliders and do a sweep of the area we are in just for extra security."

"Yes, Grand Voivode, we have captured some of this lord's slaves as well, I think it may be members of the man's harem…" The Luciferian warrior reported.

"Ah, where are they?" Nicholas queried.

"Most of them is in some pseudo Egyptian chambers… There is one though that seem to have been left in the personal sleep chamber of the Goa'uld, shall I have her re-join the others?" The Guard officer chuckled as he couldn't stop himself from chuckling.

Nicholas laughed.

"No, let her remain there. While we wait for the rest of our clan to re-join us, I think I shall have a look at her." Nicholas said and just before he was about to walk out he gently grabbed the officer's uniform.

"Oh, is she… pretty?" He asked calmly as he wiped the blood of his former victim from his lips.

"I would say she is Grand Voivode." The Guard officer smirked showing his own fangs, as he licked blood from his own lips.

"Well then, Vlad you have the command, hearken my commands, I think I need to have a look at our prize." Nicholas then said and left the bridge.

When he got to the personal sleeping quarters of the late Lord Okse, he found to his delight a petite young woman or girl really, he could smell the fear coming from her, and it was utterly intoxicating.

"No need to fret, I will not let any of the others harm thee my child." He said with his most friendly tone, and gently took the young girl that couldn't be more than 18 at the most into his arms.

"There, there, child, soon you shall have nothing to fear ever again." He whispered into her ear as she cried.

He saw the side of her throat where her jugular vein was and he thought for a moment if he should have his way with her before feeding but decided that this once listen to the words that his mother had told him when he was young, he slowly opened his mouth as his fangs came sliding down in their full view.

"Don't play with thine food, little Nicholas." He remembered his mother nagging, after he had matured, she was the first one he fed upon in his blood rage.

"Has your master ever harmed thee?" He asked her.

"N… No, I'm new and he wanted to use me later." The girl stuttered between sobs, though she had started calming down as this man seemed very nice indeed.

"A virgin!" Nicholas thought.

He could not hold it anymore and gently sank his fangs into the pulsing vein of the young girl who gasped in pain and surprise, but she soon started weakening as by every heartbeat her life was slowly drained out of her.

Nicholas noticed the difference, the Goa'uld blood in his other victims both the Goa'uld hosts and that of the Jaffa's he had tasted had this mix of strange power, he felt more powerful and more alive than he had ever felt.

A couple of hours later, Nicholas came walking into the quarters that had been prepared and secured for the most precious of cargo, a long plastic box, that was now carefully placed on a small dais.

Nicholas approached it and gently put his hand on the coffin-like stasis pod.

"Report my pupil." Came the telepathic command, and Nicholas smiled.

"My master, we are almost at our new home, a planet called Delmak, where thine torpor shall finally end as thou will rule directly once more." Nicholas replied with a low reverent tone.

"Splendid, my Pupil, keep mine affairs in the waking world until the time comes for me to arise again." The telepathic command finished.

"As thou command, so shall we all obey as it is law my master." Nicholas said.

As all the important cargo from the small fleet had finally been loaded and all the ships prepared to one final jump, to the outer rim of Goa'uld territory, to Delmak.

Followed by their allies of the Lucian Cartel.

It was finally time for Clan Lucifer to rise again…..

That was the second chapter but also chapter 1 as now the story starts in earnest.

Please leave me some reviews and tell me what y'all may think about it.
