The Ancient Ones
by Pagaan Place

They were the Old Ones, the ancient Ones. Once dominating the Earth, they are now a race dying from their own lust for human trappings.

Once Kings and Queens, they are forced to hide from modern humans to prevent discover and disaster. They were all told to sleep, sleep for 2 millenia til they could once again awake to a world where the plague that ravaged the planet had long since died and a new world had begun.

They were from Sumer and Xiaxong, old dynasties who once dominated the world who were forced to hide themselves from the oncoming disaster.

Not all slept however, few stayed awake wanting to lust and covet human woman in an attempt to make them their brides. These beings became what's known today as the vampire. There once was a time when the two races lived and worked hand in hand. Then came the plague, a plague so cruel it would turn the men vampire and the women a cruel and harsh death.

Many died and many survived but only a few remained in tact without allowing the sickness to darken their minds and create the vampire. They had no idea how this disease came to be but the Elders requested they sleep until 2 millenia had passed. Now is the time of their awakening.

As soon as they awoke, they realized the damage their people had wrought to humans.

The vampire hunts were in full force. The killing of the Old Ones, vampire or not. The humans were terrified of the assaults the vampires wrought in their lands. And, in turn, killed any and all immortals they found resting.
