For thousands of years, we've been nothing but a myth, a legend, a rumor... Discarded by science and even religions, categorized as a disease or special gaian condition... Gaian condition...
The truth is, it's part of the gaian nature to fear what gaians don't know... It is especially hard for them to believe in someone coming back from the death, in someone who's not alive anymore... Nor dead.. The truth is, we are here... We've always been here... We've been watching, we've been waiting for a sign, for a moment of glory, the perfect timing... And this time is almost here...
Brothers and Sisters, for aeons we have forced ourselves to restrain our wishes and impulses of revealing our dominant nature, we have been restraining our urges to become the predators we rightfully are... We have forced ourselves to live amongst gaians, avoid rising suspicions, acting as... Them, as much as we can; faking hunger and thirst, faking gaian impulses and need... Tonight I tell you, those times are nearly over, for the icon, the sign we've been waiting is nearly amongst us...
Gaia has been slowly growing with a shadowy presence that many will dare to categorize as demonic, obscure and even, sinister... Is it our fault to be what we are? Is it our fault to be the condemned? Is it our fault that the sun would finish our existences by the mere contact of its piercing rays on our skins? No, my Brothers and Sisters, we demand our right to live, our right to exist, and our right to be the perfect predator.
Who can oppose us? The so called "Slayers"? Beliefs on long lost ethos? There is no messiah, there is no chosen one, what else is out there? Only darkness... The darkness that preserves the blood, the blood that preserves our life, the life that surrounds the obscure secret of immortality.
The icon, Brothers and Sisters, are the Von Helson Sisters, the twins, and the imminent arrival of our Lord, Count Vladimir Von Helson, and Young Master Louie Von Helson, their nature is like ours, Brothers and Sisters, they demand their right to exist, their right to live, and their right to claim their superiority, their arrival is imminent.
Brothers and Sisters, this is a calling for all of us, a calling to stop hidding, a calling to come out, covered by the subtle touch of the night, we shall celebrate under the Bloody Moon the arrival of a new age for all of us, the times in which the First City was built will be nearly as great as glorious as the times that are about to come here.
Please, let me, Alexander Covenant, extend an invitation to all of you, Brothers and Sisters, an invitation to come to my humble residence in Durem, so we can celebrate the advent of the entire Von Helson Bloodline, accept this invitation and pay your respects and honor to the figures we all follow, to the teachings they left us, and the confidence they left on us... Allow this humble servant to open the gates of the Covenant Manor and receive you all, Brothers and Sisters, with open arms, for we may be different among each other, but in the end, we are the same under the Von Helson's Crimson Eyes.A Letter From Lord Alexander Covenant
Sent To All Vampires, Servants And Ghouls
Known To Swear Loyalty To The Von Helsons

As the servants open the doors, the lights of several candles enlight the reception room, a spacey room is seen, a chandelier hangs off the ceiling as well, and 15 feet tall windows are seen on the walls, in spite of a storm happening outside, you finally made it, and the servants take your soaked coats and motioning for you to proceed, the Covenant Manor is ornamented with gold and rubble, and also has rich paintings by different artists from the past embellishing the walls, a young man walks to you and bows slightly"Good evening, I am glad you could make it safely, this is such a great ocassion! My Sire is more than pleased to have you all here, please, come in, come in! We have several servants to provide you of anything you require, my name is Strauss Igniz Vecna, Lord Covenant should join you shortly, if there's something you require, please, don't hesitate to ask, I'll be pleased to assist you" With another gentle bow, the young man walks away from you, suddenly, gentle music comes from the second floor, just like you, the rest of the guests stop doing what they are doing to listen, in spite of being beautiful music, you could detect sadness surrounding the manor suddenly"Ah, Lord Covenant is playing again" The young Strauss Igniz Vecna was standing behind you, enchanted by the sounds coming from the second floor"He always had a strange fascination for music, ever since I met him, 350 years ago... I'll go upstairs and tell him most of the guests have arrived, please, make yourselves at home, is there's anything you require, there are plenty of servants eager to give you anything you need, now, if you excuse me" The young Strauss leaves to upstairs, as suddenly, one of the servants approaches you"Anything I can get you, or would you preffer me to return and ask you later on?"

She looked at the servant and replied, "Yes, I would like to have a some red wine, if you may." Hearing the music, with a peaceful look on her face.

"Red wine, at once, Madame, by instructions of Master Vecna, please, if you require anything else, let us know"
The servant bows at Lady Yuna Fang and walks away, as the music is still flowing from the second floor, at this time, more and more guests seemed to arrive

Elana came in quietly, shying away from most of the guests. She shook her head at the servant, muttering a quiet "thank you", before looking up to the sound of music being played. She smiled slightly, then looked off toward the front doors, watching the other guests mingle and talk with eachother.
Nervously, she pulled the edge of her glove up a bit, almost trying to hide the tattoo on her arm. It looked faded, as she had powdered it down with layers of make-up, though it still showed. She coughed, and took a step back once more, her bright eyes rather dull and far-away, daydreaming.

Lady Yuna waiting for her drink, she spotted a woman, fixing her glove. Her eye was caught on a faded tattoo, looked like as if it was covered with a substance.
She looks a bit dazed right now, so I will join her for a bit. Lady Yuna walked up to her. "Are you alright there, miss?

The girl looked up, meeting the woman's eyes and giving a smile.
"Me? Oh...I'm alright...thank you ma'am," she added. "I'm just not used to so many people, actually..." she confessed, sighing, "and I've only met Alexander Covenant once or twice before."
Elana shrugged, the frown dropping a bit but still visible on her face. She looked up to the music again, but Elana tore herself away from it to gaze at the woman's gown.
"Oh, pardon. I'm Elana Moure Time."

Alex out did himself this time, she thought, smiling slightly. The mansion was starting to look small with all those people getting inside.
Nite wasn't a woman of parties, but Mr. Covenant had been an acquaintance of hers for a long time, and she wouldn't say 'no' to him - besides, his parties were always entertaining.
"Now, maybe I can find someone I know here.."

"Lady Yuna, your drink is ready, is there anything else you require?"
A servant approached Lady Yuna with her drink, as another Servant approached Nite Lewis
"Welcome, Madame, is there anything we can do for you? Young Master Vecna instructed us to serve you in what you require"

Stands in the Reception room almost unable to move at the shear pleasure of hearing Lord Covenant's playing.
(I'm listening to Mozart's 4th symphony to get in the mood)
(It seems as though I'm all alone here talking to myself)

Gairwin enters on the arm of Raven. This is the first function she has attended by Lord Covenant and was both nervous and excited for the night's festivities. She absently fusses with her dress as her eyes wander around the room they had arrived in. It was elegantly decorated with a large painting of a man dominating the room. Lord Covenant she presumed.
The sound of music drifted through the air and caught her attention. She sighed softly as she closed her eyes to lose herself in the music.

Realizing that none of the servants had acknowledged our arrival, Raven walks over to where they are standing and asks in a heavy scottish accent, "My lady and I would like something to drink." Turns to Gairwin "What would you like my dear?"

Her eyes popped open when Raven's voice pierced through her foggy mind. She shakes her head and briefly wonders if the music had put some kind of spell on her. She had been completely unaware of her surroundings and was quite surprised to find Raven some ways away and apparently waiting for something from her.
Gairwin joins Raven and clasps his hand in hers. "I'm sorry, Raven, did you say something?"
