Just comment on it here, and I will try my best to work on the areas commented.

"That's impossible, the witches have long since gone into hiding, or have been killed off, there is no longer any way to create another original vampire." he says with regret.
"But what if there was another?"
"There isn't."
"What if there was?"
"I said there isn't!"
"Just indulge me, what if there was?"
"Well, I guess it would change everything."
"Change everything, huh, That's a really interesting way you have in putting it."
"Well I guess, I could have said It would cause a bloodfest but it didn't seem.....like what a gentleman would say."
"Tch, I see even the captive has jokes."
"It seems I don't fear death anymore."
"Sigh, just tell me what you mean."
"I mean, It's simple really, the vampires aren't loyal, but it doesn't mean they will be willing to go against their master, he has cemented his place as the strongest in the world in their minds over decades, even if someone stronger came around, not all of the vampires would desert master, after all, the master can still kill us with a thought, and the only way to stop that is if another original somehow appears, and as I have said that impossible as there are no longer any witches."
"So the vampires would be split, and it would be a war?"
"That's the simplest way to describe it but yes."
"Makes sense, so how many vampires has he turned himself?"
"Last person he turned was a girl, about seventy years ago, and at that time there were already at least three hundred first-generation vampires, so 301 in total, but if we are talking about the amount that would risk sure death to fight him it drops to I would guess Two hundred and fifty could be more but I say that's a safe number."
"What about if there was another factor at play, what would the numbers be the?"
"Depends on the factor really, if the master was somehow injured the number might spike they might not, it depends on the thought of the vampires at that time, and I can't predict their thoughts."
"What about the factor being Another original vampire?"
"You are not letting go of this are you?"
"Sigh, If.... and this is a very strong if, if another original vampire was somehow able to appear, the best-case scenario I could see happening would be three-quarters of the army siding with the new original vampire, while the other hold out until thing turn bad for them, or they are just too afraid to try to go against master."
"That's good to hear, that's more than enough."
"So tell me how the original vampire came to be."
"Fine."
"It was a long, very long time ago, the witches had been the superior power in the world since witchcraft had come into existence, no one knew who or what exactly was the first to practice witchcraft, but it spread quickly throughout the world, and from the original clean and pure witchcraft which was said to be created to cleanse and purify the world, while serving nature, for this task, the witches who were first known as the aura- guardians, were not reward, no increase in life nothing, they worked for nothing, as they believed in what they were doing, cleaning the filth from the world that was created from, the negative aura accumulated from humans themselves.
This in itself was dangerous, the creatures created from the accumulation of the negative aura were powerful and couldn't be left unchecked, the only upside was that the creatures always appeared in the same place.
So once the aura- guardians finally had enough, it was easy for them to come up with a plan and execute it.
They chose to abandon the task they had been doing since the beginning and chose to seal off the creation point where the creatures were created.
With the amount of aura- guardians available and the power they were able to wield by manipulating aura they managed to seal off the space, forcing all the creatures created to be kept in this sealed space, for all eternity.
After the aura- guardians betrayed the world itself, their powers took on a darker tone, and they were cursed by the aura itself.
The formerly known aura- guardians were now known as witches, cursed to seek out perfection in anything, and have a shorter life than any human.
With these two curses, the witches became what was known in legend, perfectionists who could find joy in nothing as the first curse only allowed joy in face of perfection, but perfection is not real.
And with the second curse, the witches lived at most twenty years.
This led to them seeking a way to extend their life, and as this thought came into their head it was accompanied by the thought ' if we are going to extend our life why not become immortal' and that thought is what lead to the creation of the first vampire, the original vampire."
"So what happened next."
"After that, the witches worked hard, through multiple generations, until finally, the method was created.
It was crude and forceful, but by all means, it would work, but the witches wouldn't test it themselves, so they went out and grabbed a random youth who no one would miss and this youth became the original vampire."
"So it was just by chance the original vampire is who he is?"
"Yep, but the story isn't done.
let's skip over the ritual, and speak about after, after the ritual, the original vampire was successfully created, and the witches who made him were seriously drained due to the amount of aura used in his creation, but by picking this random boy off the streets is what lead to the witches downfall.
Maybe if they had chosen any other youth things wouldn't have happened as they did."
"I'm guessing he killed them?"
"Of course, that was easy, but that wasn't all, that day was the start of a decade-long killing spree, that would shape the supernatural world for years to come."
