Any kind of criticism is welcomed unless you are a flamer and their actions will not be tolerated by me, so expect a vulgar response dear flamer wherever and whoever you are.

Chapter 1
The Beginning of the Tale
The moon rays shone lazily on a small house not far from the city of Nosgoth. The night air was cold and damp. Damn I should have brought a jacket. Clouds rolled gently along the black cover of the sky allowing the subtle moonlight to reveal the figure of a young woman with short blonde hair. A butterfly crafted hair clip held up her hair. She fidgeted in her uncomfortable seat on the grass. Her team was on the other side of the hill she was currently positioned on. She had on an ebony colored sleeveless top with a pair of black jeans to go with her sleek profile. Her delicate features showed her to be of somewhat a young age probably in her twenties. A hand was lifted from its place on her holster gun to her cold cheeks as she gently rubbed for a sense of warmth. Her other hand was clutching a golden crucifix dangling from her neck. The crucifix had elaborate and intricate designs with a few gemstones scattered about. She slid the necklace that was wrapped over her neck under her top. This was a stake out and she was not going to take any chances for her asset to get lost. A sigh was let out in aggravation as she looked upon the secluded house with sharp green eyes; a flicker of wild impulse overcame her - probably fueled by the adrenaline slowly coursing through her veins. She could wait no longer to catch the culprit. That bastard….what's taking him so long! The girl was about to get up to get a better look when suddenly her walkie-talkie crackled in the silence of the night…
…crackle….what the hell you think you are doing! Hold onto your position!
The girl lifted the gadget to her mouth and spit out venomously…..I can no longer wait for that bastard to make the first move…I say we strike now and hard……hey….how were you able to see me anyway!
Her superior's voice held a note of impatience with the girl's attitude:
…you will obey my orders…..it took us a long time to get to know where that thug carries on his fraud businesses….I will not allow you to ruin and jeopardize this mission… the whole team worked on this for months!…..And to answer your question, I see that you fail to remember that your superior is a vampire with certain 'vampiric abilities'. Now secure your position immediately and don't make me come there and make you….
The girl hissed in aggravation but succumbed to her superior's demand:
….yes sir Deputy Chief ….Dumah
A low growl came out of her closed lips as she thought deprecately…..vampiric abilities my ass…..
Her walkie-talkie crackled again. She lifted it to hear her boss's ominous voice on the other side of the gadget:
…..I heard that….Detective…
This is a typical night….well stake out night that I occasionally have from time to time. We had been working on a case involving an individual guilty of conducting fraud and scam operations… traveling incognito best to say. I know that everyone is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law, but I just can not help but remind myself that this man is guilty. Anyways, I am happy that we have caught him at last. It took all my will so as not to go and barge up on the poor fellow….yeah I have my boss Dumah standing every step of the way…against my ambivalent self. Our team worked hard on this case for several months, but finally we got a lead on his hideout and wasted no time but to get our butts there.
I work as a detective in the Nosgoth Police Department. It's a capricious job but I love every moment of it. Since I was but a child, I always dreamt of solving murders or being at a crime scene. My parents found it strange that I would even think of such matters and so they would indulge me with some other useless stuff to do as I was growing up such as piano and ballet lessons. Although looking upon myself now, I am thankful for the ballet lessons for it gave me the agility and stamina needed for my job. I do know that my parent's intentions were for my own good but I was still fascinated with the field of criminology. I did not turn back, not even once, from my dream. I worked hard to reach my goal and so here I am, an detective working alongside humans and vampires alike. So much has changed in Nosgoth since its birth. Rebirth would suffice to say. Let me explain.
Nosgoth has changed the past centuries. Everyone here knows how vampires plagued the earth to the extent that human numbers were dwindling rapidly…..but something happened that changed the future of Nosgoth for the better. Our emperor formerly known as the Scion of Balance took it upon his shoulders to change Nosgoth from its former devastation to its current glory. I have no idea how he had done that, as it was never written in any book or manuscript. I am not even sure if the vampires themselves know how…except probably for the Emperor's sons. It was said that he had been manipulated by certain individuals to cause depravity and corruption. Everything in this manner was esoteric and still remained so to this day, but history did not fail to depict our Emperor's exemplary actions. It is suffice to say that Nosgoth was saved from its blighted existence due to our Emperor's altruistic actions. Since his reign on the land of Nosgoth, he took matters in his own hands to make humans and vampires live in peace, to make everything the way it was and should be: peaceful and precocious. One might find it odd that I extol and laud the Emperor in such a manner, me myself being a human and all , but I have seen how great-hearted the Emperor is with his subjects and citizens, particularly Nosgoth. Though he might seem to some that he is serious and laconic.
From the time of Emperor Kain's reign, the land grew to sustain life thus he rectified the land with laws and rules for everyone to follow so as to spread order to both vampires and humans. They had to be followed by both races and both would be punished accordingly in the harshest form if caught with any form of disobedience. Centuries have passed since these laws were made viable and since then a new era for Nosgoth had incepted. It would seem odd to fathom the fact that humans and vampires would live in harmony with each other and without discord, but this is the case here….all the inhabitants of Nosgoth are gregarious and work together with no dissonance whatsoever. Based on that idea, vampires and humans worked together in the same fields and industries and with no disdain or conflict. This co-operative work from both sides has enabled Nosgoth to grow through the years as the most powerful and richest country ever to stand. Nosgoth grew to being resplendent, and this is where I stand today: a Nosgoth changed from its blatant past to this precocious future.
It is the year 2999. The final year before welcoming the new millennium. Nosgoth is as pretty as ever, I lean my head at the back of my palm as I watch the last rays of the sun spilling its shine through the horizon. Far below citizens of the city are scurrying about doing their business, some hurrying back to their abode…..soon the city's light will emerge and encompass Nosgoth with its brightness. I smile as I turn from the window to gather up my keys and walk out the door. Its a lovely night for a walk…. Oh….there is one more thing I forgot to mention……
My name is May Andrews. And this is my story.
