Chapter 3 - Entry 3 - Vampires

Vampires [AKA Blod Adde, Ancient One's, Runic Rulers, Monsterslayer's Match]

"No amount of gold will convince me to do it. I look forward to dying in my bed, not aside a Vampire."- Quote from a Toxic Swordsmaster.

Vampires are renown for being immortals. And they take advantage of having that reputation, even though it isn't really true, they age 1 year every 20 years, meaning they have extremely long lives, but nothing compared to things that are truly immortal. They use this on a perfect tactical sense, they will wait years in hiding waiting for a tracker to lose interest before going out and wreaking havoc.

Vampires can also hibernate for up to 100 years in one go, before succumbing to bloodthirst and forced to awaken and find prey.

Also Vampires are synonymous with speed, agility, and most of all, Vampiric sense. Vampiric sense is when they can see all living things with a heart rate more than 30 BPM (Tested). This can also be exploited, if a vampire is thirsty for blood they tend to lose reason and react brashly.

If you run into a Vampire then the smartest thing to do is run, unless you want to die, become a servant, or you are on of the best blademasters of the Realm, or the final option, have a huge blood toxicity immunity. However for the last option you will be essentially killing yourself as well as the vampire, for you must take the dangerous herb Vampire's Bane, which can kill all animals, and monsters. Once it bites you, it will start to burn up, and you will begin to die from blood poisoning.

One thing that is unknown of vampires is that they have 3 forms, one Monster form, that instill fear in everyone that sees it, as well as improve their agility greatly, one Human form which is sculpted with absolute beauty, and one form that is unknown to everyone writing this excerpt. However, some people say that it is reserved for the case that they run into someone they love, to lure them in.

Vampires are very solitary creatures whom to have their residences in abandoned or forgotten areas, such as in Unknown Realms, Ancient Crypts, or an old Castle.
