YEAR I300 AD.
The golden moon emitted a soft glow as the clouds passed by, a few of them trying to hide the Moon, but only to be blown away by the wind.
It was like any other night for the Vampires who lived in between Britaris, from the west empire, to the east, south and north, Surrounded by a big river, and hills, making anyone believe living things actually reside there.
Each empire had a lord governing them, as Britaris has been divided into seven provinces, but nonetheless, they all lived in peace and quiet.
The Huntersville province for Hunter Moreau,
Callahan’s province for Regis Callahan,
These two provinces resided at the west,
While at the east side, the Nero’s province for Evans Montenero and Erald province for Elliot Gerald resided also.
Then Gaston province for Emile Gaston, and Yannick province for Eugene Yannick, laid at the south.
Xandre province for Hugo Alexandre in the north.
Britaris had long grown into a very big city solely for Vampires, passersby usually ended up becoming their next meal.
It was decided that Britaris be divided to maintain peace and harmony.
Each province had their own villages and towns as Britaris kept growing, and the lords of each province kept turning more humans into Vampires, to increase their capital.
Lamps and lanterns were lit around the small houses, while the forest that surrounded them had turned dark after dusk.
In one of the houses, the joy there was exceptional, as one of the wives of the lord was putting to birth.
“It’s a boy, it’s a boy” shouts of joy filled the air, as everyone ran around rejoicing,
“It’s a boy!!” More screams were heard, the atmosphere reeked of joy, no one would be more happier than Moreau as he held his baby boy in his arms.
After so many years, a smile has finally crossed his face, he is so overjoyed now, as the second Vampire to have a son, Hugo Alexandre being the first.
It has been proven that it’s very hard for a vampire to have a child, do he feels like a man, now that he’s finally had one.
“Congratulations Celeste, I am so happy for you,” Delphine said, hugging Celeste.
“Finally Owen will have a playmate” she said referring to her child who she had five years ago,
“This is good news Moreau, in fact today is a day meant for good news” Regis Callahan spoke out, joy evident on his face, actually the man was not mute, talking was never his thing, it was more of action,
“This is to officially announce that Noemie Is with child” he announced as another round of joy filled the air, finally the Vampires are reproducing, that’s hope that they can reproduce.
“So Celeste, what are you naming your child?” Jeanne questioned as she pointed at the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes,
“I’ll call him Makas, but we’ll decide whatever his father names him” Celeste knew fully within her that Makas would not be the name Moreau will want for their son, but she has decided to name him that, Makas meaning Hope, and this child is her hope.
“So Lord Moreau, what are you naming the child?” Jeanne questioned Moreau,
“Sebastian, His name is Sebastian Hunters Moreau, my first son” Moreau announced in a very loud voice as cheers filled the air.
“For he shall be great and venerable, he will command Respect because he is my son,” he added. People began shouting in joy as they all feasted, no one slept that night, as they all rejoiced at the birth of another Twilight vampire.

“Move over…” Delphine screamed, as she landed on the floor, bloodied and out of breath.
“Where’s Owen?” She asked breathing loudly, she looked hurt, as there were injuries all over her body, which was unusual. Vampires do heal fast, but she was not healing.
“He went hunting with Sebastian and Rowan, they’ll be back before twilight, what happened to you?” Celeste asked, walking close to you.
“And where’s Hugo?” She added, they both left earlier today, to have some quality time for themselves, as they both claimed it’s been long, but now it doesn’t seem like they had a good time, Delphine looks hurt, and is not healing, while Moreau is nowhere with her.
“Get her blood” Celeste ordered, Delphine was not healing and she looked pale, right now a certain amount of Vampires had already gathered around her,
“Here have some..” Celeste offered collecting the cup from the maid, placing it on Delphine’s lips, as she drank it all in one go.
Slowly, her wounds started healing up, but it was not fast like the way she usually did.
“Now speak up woman, where’s Hugo?” Elias asked, it was apparent that something had gone wrong.
“He’s dead” she broke out with a pain filled voice, Delphine never expected to say this one day or so soon.
“What do you mean dead?” Elias laughed it off, they all know you can’t kill a twilight vampire, so what rubbish is Delphine sprouting.
“The witches, they killed him, that have a weapon against us..” she cried remembering the death of her husband, she has not shed tears for years now, but today she can’t control it, she can’t believe Hugo is dead.
“What do you mean?”
“We were having a stroll at Romanesque, to have a view of the town we first lived, I swear it was a peaceful tour, we never drank from any human, we both went in disguise, then all of a sudden, it felt as if a spell was casted on both of us, making us immobile, but the spell would only last for five minutes, so before the spell becomes, inefficient, they made us drink something, ginger water, and that totally made us weak and useless” she explained tears dropping from her eyes.
“It burned as it went down my throat, and we couldn’t do anything as they dragged is away, to meet Pierre, our enemy, he said he’s coming for us Vampires, that we’re are not meant to exist and he would make sure to wipe any trace of us” she paused,
” That’s when I realized, you can never cheat nature, we are not immortals after, there’s a way us twilight vampires can die, I discovered, Pierre had been capturing Vampires over the years, finding ways to kill then and to find their weaknesses, that’s when he discovered ginger water..”
“A weapon nature brought, so we can not live forever” Elias chimed in,
” Yes and that’s ginger water, having tried that on different Vampires, it killed them, so he decided to try it on a Twilight vampire..”
” That’s why he captured you and Hugo” Celeste reasoned,
” Yes, but the ginger water didn’t kill us, it only weakened us, so he devised another plan, they slaughtered him like a chicken…” she cried her voice breaking down mid way, she never wants to remember the way her husband was murdered,
” Because we regenerate, he never gave Hugo the chance to regenerate, as he kept…..” her voice broke away, as Celeste placed her hands on her shoulders consoling her.
” He kept cutting him to pieces, as he burned his body parts, until nothing was left of him, and the fact they’ve already rendered him weak, slowed his healing..” Delphine concluded as all the Vampires just stood speechlessly, they just lost someone to the witches, and the Vampires are not at fault this time, the witches started it.
” He’s coming, Pierre is our greatest enemy now” Delphine warned.
” So what do we do, we can’t lose another?”
” War…” Delphine said in a menacing tone, her black irises turning scarlet red.
” They want war, we give them war, I’ll destroy the witches one after the other, until now one’s left” she swore.
