Introduction to the Race of the Light,
Arianwen
There are many races which take it upon themselves to hunt down vampires and make it their obligation to try to smite evil away from the face of the Earth. Clans of certain types of witches do so, dampyres (creatures which were born of a human mother and a vampiric father), and even humans. Yes, these three races are known to be the vampires' natural enemy, though what people fail to notice is that there is something more..a race that is neither human, nor witch, and definitely not vampiric or related to the shadow world. This isn't so surprising as they hardly associate with anyone other than their own kind. Yes, there is the occasional human, but other than that, they mostly keep to themselves despite their friendly disposition. They have lasted through the ages, always modernizing themselves, yet never losing a fraction of their knowledge from their ancestor; though just how long they have been around, no one is sure. Like the vampires and the witches, they have their own brand of magic, but it's nothing like the dark magic the vampires possess nor the simply fighting tactics the witches use. They are of the light; holy some would say, though the power they hold doesn't come from the gods, it is their own natural ability; their own power in which enables them to rival the creatures belonging to the night world.
This race
calls themselves "Gilcrist", though they all have groups scattered around the
world. Some of the larger families of
Gilcrist are Zemtule, Basilyn, and Arianwen. Each of these families has a history and each has their own triumphs and
of course, painful and heart-wrenching losses.
