Those who were able to survive just remembered that mark in his face and those fiercer bright red eyes looking at them. The people soon noticed that those who were bitten by that "monster"; came back to life. Bloodthirsty too and killing every person on its way.

They were uncontrollable, at night all the people locked their houses. The fear and desolation were incredible. No one wanted to leave home at night anymore. The relatives of those who had been bitten; prey for not seen his dead family coming back to life turned into beasts.

The people started to call him a "vampire".

He got rid of his human name and he changed it to "Darklion Black".

His army began to grow. He trains the neophytes to fight, and to control their thirst. No one had ever seen him since then, the rumors spread as time went by and each time they reached further and further from Romania.

No one knew who this being was, since the vampires army appeared, Darklion was no longer seen just a few times after being more vampires everywhere.

Years after the Darklion awakens; humans started looking for a way to defend themselves, many parents and children needed to protect their homes and families. No one find the way on how to kill vampires yet. But they started to fight against them.

At that time Darklion has had a few closer vampires.

King Alessandro my dad, was the king of the Northern England area. Lincoln, Norwich, Cambridge, Barnsley, Sheffield and Chelmsford were under his domain. So, he needed to do something to protect his people, he started training more soldiers. 

It was a fiercer training, cruel even. But it was all to be able to fight vampires.

The VanHelsing family were the king's strongest soldiers. They became the royal defense of my father. They were exceptionally good at fighting and had somehow managed to seriously injure many vampires. But even without being able to kill them.

They were the only soldiers who had been able to reach beyond vampire-dominated lands, Lestat was Lieutenant VanHelsing's first child. They came from Great Britain, where the rumors of the first Vampires had started.

One of the incredible fights the royal guard had with the vampire's army, Lieutenant VanHelsing was the only one who fight against the same Darklion Black in person. They were face to face in a battle, both using their own swords; Lieutenant VanHelsing uses a sword bathed in holy water. However, Darklion was stronger and faster than him. Lieutenant Van Helsing was able to see Darklion's mark in his left eye, that famous mark extended all over his left eye up to his chin. Those bright red eyes saw him fiercely, with such a malefic expression and his fangs protruded from under his lips, long and white fangs.

After Lestat's father Lieutenant Van Helsing died on Darklion's hands, he followed his father's legacy. He soon became a lieutenant for the king's royal guard.

Lestat had become very cunning, and under his command the king's soldiers were able to get close enough to the Darklion Black's castle. Lestat was leading that mission. They were in search of the dark palace and in a way managed to find a way to kill the vampires. he noticed that his chest was always well protected by them.

According to what the soldiers said about vampires, they were particularly beautiful, both men and women. Glossy hair, red lips, and skin as pale as snow. His speech was like a human, but they had a strange accent when they spoke, it was so notorious. and now they couldn't be differentiated of a human and a vampire.

When they 're not transformed their fangs do not protrude. But as they transform, their fangs grow longer and that human expression becomes fiercer. The color of their eyes changes to a bright red and they become very aggressive. They are fast and have enormous strength. Some of them even have special abilities, the closest commanders to Darklion can read minds, he is one of the most powerful vampires we have found among all of them.

Darklion has not yet shown his great power, since he created his kingdom and he turned humans into vampires, he has not shown itself again. All we know about him is that he is one of the most beautiful vampires on earth, and it was well known for that mark on his left eye.

Lestat managed to get close to see his face. He got so close to the dark castle in one of the fighting. He was the one who discovered the power of Marious, Darklion's closest Lieutenant. He managed to save himself, the only thing they left him was a scar on his right arm. He was cursed by Darklion himself.

Lestat heard in his head Darklion's voice, while he fled the dark castle, the ancient Romanian spoke. That language that had been lost thousands of years ago; it was a curse directed to him.

He reached the nearest base and there he lost consciousness. The soldiers took him, and they went back to my father's castle.

For some reason I was born with a weird skill, I could cure the sick people. No one knew how I had such ability, my father, the King took care of me, his protection was so cautious to keep me locked in the castle since I was little.

I was trained for the magician in the palace, he taught me how to cure wounds made with any type of weapons. Master Gandy was close to me, he taught me more things without my father's consent. It was a secret between us. He knew that I'll be capable to do many more things with my "magic" as they call it.

I was training with my master when Lestat and the royal soldiers came back from that confrontation. He was seriously wounded. Almost dying I could say, they took him to the castle. My dad called me; he wanted me to go to look for Lestat's wound.

Irhin- What happened to him dad?

K. Alessandro -  He was cursed by a vampire, Irhin.

I was astonished to hear from my father, that Lestat was cursed by a vampire.

K Alessandro - You must save him Irhin.

I approached Lestat, I felt and see that dark aura around him; I started to feel dizzy just by getting closer to him but I got closer even though. 

I step next to Lestat, I could see that wound, it looks like his arm was  rotting, there I touched the horrible wound on his arm with my fingers, and I saw him for the first time.

My eyes met those hazel, fierce and thirsty red eyes. He was amazed to feel my presence and to see me just like we were in front of each other. He parted his lips, his red and full lips showing his fierce fangs very subtly.

I stepped back, to Darklion I was a light, a little fuzzy but very bright light. For me, he was a dull, dark shadow. A little blurry too.

I lifted my hand from Lestat's arm immediately upon noticing Darklion's eyes on me, I knew it... he had been able to see me as well. I took two steps back, and then, I vanished.

My father stopped me before I fell to the ground. The soldiers laid me on a stretcher near Lestat and called the sorceress of the palace.

They tended the wound on Lestat's arm, but the curse would take his life if we can't remove that curse. The only one who could save him was me according to master Gandy, but I had passed out upon contact with the curse on Lestat's arm directly.

I woke up, I was in my bedroom. I still felt those hazel eyes on me, I couldn't get them out of my head. I got up from my bed and I put my dressing coat on my shoulders. My father entered the room.

King Alessandro- Are you alright, Irhin?

Irhin- Yes dad

King Alessandro - What happened to you?

Irhin- I don't know, everything was strange.

King Alessandro – Master Gandy and the other sorcerers assisted Lestat's wound, but they said the only one who can save him is you. That Vampire's curse is going to take Lestat's life. his arm is changing color and now it reaches his shoulder.

Irhin- What?

My father paused and before he could say anything I spoke to him.

Irhin- Take me with him

I felt nervous, it hadn't been long since I had been closed to that dark aura and those dangerous hazel eyes.

King Alessandro - are you alright?

Irhin- Yes, it's just that... his curse is very powerful. I can feel it from here.

King Alessandro - What do you mean?

Irhin- I don't think I can save Lestat dad, I can see the dark aura around Lestat.

King Alessandro - Irhin, I've never seen you worry like this before

I opened the door, and I could see that dark aura. I stepped back a little, behind me was my father, and other soldiers. I took some courage and approached Lestat again. I knew through  master Gandy some of the ancient Romanian languages. I already knew what enchantment I could need to recite to remove the curse from his arm.

I placed my hand on Lestat's wound again, and there he was; those hazel eyes watching directly to mine, that fierceness; I didn't blink for a single moment and kept my gaze on those hazel eyes as long as I could. I recite the enchantment I had in mind and I kept my gaze on his. I finished the spell and at that moment he smiled at me and then he just vanished.

I was still holding Lestat's injured arm. It has beginning to recover its color again. I kept his fierce gaze in my mind and his beautiful hazel eyes, his smile was engraved on me as well. Those red lips with fangs sticking out from under them. I have to keep that memory in my mind. I though that  his face was beautiful. A skin as pale as snow. His long, straight, white hair... and I remember his red lips holding that subtle smile.

That image was so difficult to take it out of my mind. Something had caught me, that male figure that watched me from the darkness; the blurred image of his body standing in front of me and that mysterious smile.

I withdrew my hand from Lestat's arm, I turned around and left the room.

Something had changed in me, I knew that. This man was someone powerful, I could say. How was it possible that the curse on Lestat's arm had the presence of a "person" in it? what I remember by now was his gaze in me; it was something that had made me feel nervous, but with no fear at all. The first time we both saw each other, the expression on that man's face was like he was surprised... And then, the second time was different.
