There are many
different versions of how vampires came to be in our realm here on earth. John Polidori’s
version in The Vampyre and even the modern version from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, are some of the more popular.
However in the
Arach series, the Vampires originated among the gods.
Ull was a Norse
demigod who rebelled against the creators, and fell in love with a human woman,
Eola. She was the most beautiful being ever seen by god or human alike. He was told by another god Vali, who was
fiercely jealous of his love for the woman,
in order to make her godlike, he had to feed on her blood and she had to
drink from him. The belief is that your blood is your soul, by sharing the
blood you share your soul.
One night by a full
moon, Ull did a binding spell on Eola and drank her blood. He then forced her to drink his. When the morning light flooded their room,
she was spellbound to him and could never leave. They soon realized that they could not
continue to feed on themselves so they brought others into their pact. Most of the gods were not interested, so
their focus moved to the humans.
Humans, the
powerful and royal especially, can be very easily misled to their own
demise. The spell that Ull did was of
very dark and ancient magick, it bound the two of them together for eternity,
but it also bound them to their hunger, hunger for each other and a hunger for
blood. As they fed on others, those who
did not die, were offered some of the vampire’s
blood, they became bound to the same spell for eternity. Bound to the hunger
for blood. They became vampires. They soon realized the benefits of being a
vampire, strength, speed, and everlasting life.
Their numbers grew mostly among the powerful and the rich, where greed was
rampant. After a while they were
discovered and hunted, groups broke free to roam the world.
Humans have been kept in the dark, or for
that matter kept themselves in the dark. About the existence of vampires. They gave major otherworldly happenings, very
human like explanations. Like the great plaque of 1603. It was one of the wars between the forces of
light and dark. The armies of the light
lost the battle and were forced back into hiding, but the dark monsters
celebrated and nearly killed all of what was left of Europe.
Of course to the human eyes the corpses
looked like some terrible sickness had devoured them. They would not think for
one second, of beings sucking their lifeblood out. Nearly 38000 humans died in London alone. Another very powerful being, wanted to rid
the world of impurity. He wanted true
blood beings to rule. He created his
army of full blood vampires, and killed millions of people and beings, who did
not fit into his plan of purity. Their
corpses were never seen.
Do you agree with the Arach version or where
do you think Vampires originated from?
