Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc.
EUROPE. THE BURNING TIMES. The bodies, consumed by fire, can be
smelled for miles around. The fires have raged across the continent for
years now. Everyone thinks it's the witches that are the target, heretics
touched by Satan himself. How wrong they are! No, it's always been the
others, the bloodthirsty ones; they're the cause of all this madness. The
pyres and flames were meant for them, and them only. But now the
screams of innocents fill the air. We couldn't control the hysteria. We
couldn't even control our own knights; they left the order to fuel this
madness, professes themselves to be "witch hunters". We're to blame
for this madness, that much is true. But it was meant for them, for the
vampyres.
ROCHESTER, CONNECTICUT. PRESENT DAY. The days of the Burning
Times are behind us; madness and hysteria replaced by secrecy and
anonymity. The word 'vampyre' is no longer whispered in a hushed tone,
spoken softly for fear the devil may appear; instead it's repeated, a million
times upon a million, in movies and literature. What was once a monster
is now a myth. It is only by this evanescence that we are able to survive.
Our numbers dwindle; we face extinction even in a world of non-believers.
It is our own fault that our breed is dying out, I know this. Our vanity and
arrogance has gotten the best of us, led us to centuries of feuding with
one another. We've paved the road to destruction with our own hands.
Can we fix this mess? Can the covens rebuild? Can we leave our evil
behind us? This I cannot know for sure. I've seen too many of my brethren
slayed by the hands of our own. Perhaps we're too far gone for redemption
now. But still...... There are whispers from survivors of the lost covens.
They say it was not our kind who did this. They say we are being hunted
by something else. Something that lurks in the shadows. Something that
intends to finish us off for good.
These WICKED WAYS are going to be the death of us.
