;Third Person Point of View;;
Just turned freshly seventeen, she'd grown quite well into herself. Her lush black hair had grown into a long curly mane near her lower back, whilst long lashes disguised vibrant violet eyes. She stood at a lengthy five foot eight inches, and she had a fairly slim to curvy frame.
She lived in the household of the Fleuvenia's, she had grown close to their eldest daughter who was the same age as the young girl. Rowena had been scouring their library searching for information to the strange blips of visions and dreams. The Fleuvenia's were known for their historical knowledge.
Rowena had informed her close friend of what she was doing, Charlotte Fleuvenia, and she had instantly invited Rowena to her home. Charlotte had been around Rowena for over four years, they both were fairly close with each other.
She had woken up late in the night, and made her way to the library for an evening read. Charlotte was still fast asleep, and Rowena, not wanting to bother her, took the opportunity to read. She had stood in the back of the library, pondering along the books.
The rows of books she stood near were some of the dustiest and not often looked to. She looked over the titles till her eyes landed on a small thick book, barely tied together by string, and looked like it had not been touched in a long time.
Opening the cover and overlooking the first few pages, Rowena could feel a thrumming in herself, something important must be in it. Rowena blinked in astonishment when the title of the book appeared on a single page.
Eredeti Nosferatu
K. Mikaelson
"Original vampire..." Rowena whispered, tracing her fingers lightly over the word, it felt familiar. The author's name only had a single letter and a last name. "Mikaelson."
She could feel her heart thrumming, and a strange silence had grown in the room she stood in, she was close. Turning the page, Rowena read the book with a nervousness she didn't think she had, the book was a history of the first generation of vampires in existence.
We've all heard the legends, the first vampires. Their eternal vow. How they roamed the Earth a thousand years, saw empires rise and fall. To most, they were monsters, but to a few, they were something more. If you look closely, you'll find traces of them through history. They've got a bit of a reputation.
This is their legacy.
The Mikaelson Family was only traced as far back as the 10th Century. Any information further back is unknown. History, however, shows the remnants of the Mikaelson Family being the origin of vampire lineage, the first of the generations. The names of the first generation start with Mikael and Esther, the parents. A witch and a viking warrior.
Rowena stopped for a moment, she recognized the names, but what stopped her was the flashes of visions appearing in her mind. She could see the face of a tall woman with blonde hair, and sharp cheekbones. A man with a rugged, wrinkled face, and angry eyes. She knew them, she's met them. How?
Esther and Mikael had given birth to seven children. All with varying talents, and traits. A proud family. However, the land they lived on had the plague, and Esther had lost her firstborn to such a plague. Whilst Mikael was away to war, when they had their second child, Finn Mikaelson, Esther's mentor had informed them of a land where everyone was strong and healthy.
Taking their surviving children, Finn and Elijah. Mikael and Esther moved to the New World, modern day America. Esther later gave birth to Niklaus, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik Mikaelson. They had even adopted a young child supposedly, however, the whereabouts of the child is unknown. The Mikaelson Family lived amongst an ancient people who were strong, healthy and powerful. Werewolves.
There is a theory where Esther turned her family into vampires after the death of her youngest son, Henrik Mikaelson. Another theory is Esther was forced by her husband, Mikael to turn them. A third theory is Mikael, himself, was cursed by Esther's mentor for a wrong he had committed and all who are in his bloodline were turned into vampires. Or the Mikaelson Family is a long line of special nosferatu blessed with the gift of birthing young nosferatu.
It is also thought of as Esther was barren and had begged her witchly sister, Dahlia, for help. Dahlia in return demanded the ability to give birth to nosferatu to be given to her, ever since no vampire could ever give birth anymore. Thus starting the line of bitten nosferatu, of generations of vampires who had developed the ability to be in sunlight, but not without the sparkling darkness shining upon their skin, the lack of warmth upon their bodies, and the weakness of fire for death.
Although, vampires did begin to develop some special talents, abilities of the supernatural. For example, the ability to see into one's mind, or faster than normal, and the ability to even control the earth itself.
The feeling of dejavu vibrates through Rowena as she reads the book in her hands. Vampires were real of course, but it was the originator of the vampires of which mind-boggled her. They seemed familiar, but she could not place where from.
The book described how the ancient vampires were much different from the current vampires of the world, the words blurred in front of her eyes as visions arose, but the confusion was still there. Nothing made sense other than she felt a connection to the book and its contents.
It's words were enchanting to her.
Although the knowledge of the eredeti nosferatu is limited, the theory of the eredeti nosferatu fading into a stone-like existence is more likely than the theory of the eredeti nosferatu reincarnating as humans and living their days on.
Only several of these eredeti nosferatu are known by name.
Rebekah Mikaelson
She is the youngest daughter of the Mikaelson family. Knowledge of her fierce temper is widely known among the oldest of nosferatu. Knowledge of her whereabouts are unknown, some say she disappeared several years before the breakout of Civil Wars near Texas, Massachusetts, Arizona, etc...
Niklaus Mikaelson
Known for his ruthless nature, he was viewed as the perfect model of animalistic vampire. His whereabouts stated him fading away after the death of his only human family, and his siblings around him.
Sage Mikaelson
There is no true knowledge of this woman, mostly theories. Her loyalty towards the Mikaelson's earned her the right to carry the name as the wife of one of the Mikaelsons. Reportedly killed in action. Known for her mentor-like attitude, she had been a teacher, and adoptive parent of many nosferatu abandoned by their sires.
However one fact is known, the one who created the Witches Contract, where no witch or warlock could be harmed by nosferatu, and vice versa, this created a truce between witches and nosferatu before the chance of war broke out among the two races.
Feeling herself disappear, Rowena felt as if she was falling. Images, words, and emotions traveled through her. She felt herself floating as she witnessed strange events with someone who looked exactly like her, lived and breathed like her, loved people in the same way she wished to love someone.
It was all so confusing till she saw the moments she had faced death, watching herself dying in front of the ones her doppelganger loved. These weren't visions, they were memories, memories of her time as Sage Mikaelson. An eredeti vampire. An original.
