Vampires

The Blood Drinkers

They call us monsters! They call us the undead and unnatural!   I say that we are perfect! I say we are the mighty wolf! And they are the weak and bitter rats!   I say we are the true sons and daughters of the gods! I say that they should bow before us and thank us for the honor of feeding us!   /Lord Khuul af Quadru
