Chapter 1- Prologue

Once, in a time before human reckoning, there existed a land by the name of Derija. In this land a multittude of strange creatures lived, the minority of which being humans. But this story circulates around a far more spectacular race, the Dark Elves. The Dark Elves have a long and proud history, full of war and revolutionary events. However, no war or any other event quite so bloodstained or important than those surrounding a Dark Elf Prince named Xin Bolas and his siblings, who were Marice and Lilith Bolas. There was, however, another sibling. A Verrow by the name of Luna Blackfall, whom was born to Dark Elf King Juane Bolas after being seduced and mated (in a hypnotic state) to a vampire named Verlace Blackfall. This happened while he was away from his wife Nicol and children on a long trip. After Luna was born, Juane escaped and ran back to Elysium (the Dark Elf capitol) with her in his grey skinned arms. Zin was born 10 mortal years before this, and Marice 60 years before. 50 years later, when Xin was 6 (dark elf) years old, Lilith was born to Juane and Nicol in the middle of a particularly cold winter. In the same year, Xin overheard his father speaking to his grandparents, the Ancients, about him and his siblings. Curious, he continued listening. The Ancients had recieved a sign from the Gods, saying that they were eventually destined to do great or terrible things. Dark Elves are naturally very intelligent, and Xin especially so. He knew spreading the news had a possibility of nullifying the prophecy, so he kept his silence, training and waiting for when the time would come to fulfill the prophecy. He waited 150 long years for the time to come, and that time is now.

Note to Readers- Dark elves only age 1 year every 10 years, and I will from here on out use Dark elf years, unless I am talking about a different creature.
