Chapter Seventy: The Unlikely Road to Immortality

Man must accept that there is a limit to his existence. There is a limit to his knowledge, and there is a limit to his dreams and aspirations. Man obtained a certain "curse" from the very beginning, and so he is appointed to die. The promise of eternity, although very real, cannot exist in this world. In the end, what will be left is the evil substance that is the remnants of the many materials that has been cast down far below the heavens.

To wish for an immortality in this world will require a certain form of sacrifice, a sacrificial act that will require a very evil compromise, something that is totally defiant and sinister. This compromise is not any other compromise that is imaginable, even more demanding than an impossible bond, and its cost will require the decomposition of an infinite soul as a mode of its timely payment.

Yes, man was able to exceed the limitations of his abilities, and there were dire consequences that followed these sacrilegious acts, mostly pertaining to the sanctity of the human flesh.

Man desired to be a Vampire. To be an immortal one. But the most tragic of all, and maybe funny in the process, is the simple fact that he succeeded in what he was foolishly trying to accomplish.

This procedure on how he was able to allow himself to be immortalized in a frail body is something that cannot be explained for now, but the main focus on this whole affair is how the cult of corruption was able to bypass the particles of what the relative goodness must give to participate in a certain alchemic bond, which is the curious thing behind this unprecedented experiment.

But who supplied the information needed for man to succeed in something that he had never learned before?

No, it wasn't Lucifer the Devil this time. But, who?

This question remains unanswered until today, and for many centuries, even literature was replete with their own theories on how the Vampires came to be existimg and thriving. The confusion even grew further on how these immortal ones are conveyed in classic and modern literary texts. Some have been portrayed to be the purest of evil; others have been sympathetic to the human race, while others are languishing the pain and difficulties of embracing their own being.

But despite the glaring discrepancies on how the prophetic authors have portrayed their own thoughts on the complete nature of these so-called Vampires, no one of them (not even a false prophet) could disprove for certain that the substance of hate is present in the essence of their characteristics. And this hate that is ever present in this world was the main impetus that granted them their immortal character.

There is one thing that can be confirmed as universally true, as well: that the thirst for blood is necessary to their everyday affairs as much as the need for war exists in the minds of those who holds absolute power in this world.
