A History

August 14th, 2007 by Diadema

A wealthy daughter of a land owner, she was unsuspecting of what laid in store for her. She saw a cute kitten walk down an alleyway, and within a matter of moments, everything had changed. Her skin had paled and she could no longer stand sunlight. She never returned to her home, but instead, she lurked the streets looking for money from random people on the streets. The pale people who she now resembled did not have anything for her, but her former friends called "humans," who did not recognize her, dropped their money and ran.

While on a midnight stroll, she ran into a vampire by the name of Sidereus. He was handsome, powerful, and peaceful. He talked with her and showed her the way to gain new powers that would enable her to find a new place to live and earn respect in her new community.

She liked his company, and through time, she developed a sense of affection and love for him. Sidereus and Diadema love each other deeply, and meeting randomly within Ravenblack, they created a place for the two of them to meet and enjoy each other's company.

Sitting Duck with Money

July 31st, 2007 by Diadema

I was standing at the corner of Alder and 24th. I had walked fifty blocks, and my feet were tired from finishing my quest for the power of suction. For the past week and a half people had been nibbling at me while I wasn't looking - a bite there and a bite there. I felt exhausted, but there was this person standing across the street. He was window shopping, and he had no idea that I was staring him down. I was not looking at him for beauty - but that he was an easy grab. He didn't have any friends to stab me with stakes or splatter me with holy water. It was an easy energy boost - a nice easy human. I sneakily walked up behind him.

As he collapsed, I saw his wallet fall from his pocket. Wonderful, I thought to myself. I picked it up and to my surprise it wasn't a measly 3 coins. A score of 152 coins for my freshly emptied bank account. Even as I placed the coins into my purse, I realized how vulnerable I was. I was no longer in the shadows. The thieving hordes would see my tiny amount of Gold as their's soon, and before I could count to ten, I was back at a zero balance.

After resting for a while, I decided to meet up with Sidereus. I knew that he was stalking around not too far away, and I always have a good time when I find him. We were trying to get our Clan Headquarters set up. Perhaps he'd be there. I needed to update him and tell him that my quest was complete.
