The order to retreat was unexpected and even left many unwilling to do so.
But the SireBond couldn't be broken and so, the order was obeyed without question.
The Vampires left in their numbers angered that they could no longer continue in their madness, decimating the human empire that had stood in their way for so long.
Some had begun to notice things, of course, not all were blind to the fact that something was wrong.
That the Blood Feast was no longer theirs to control.
That the Abyss had begun to rear its head amongst them.
But at the end of the day, they were too far gone to turn back.
The crimson invigorated them, plaguing them with bloodlust so potent, it didn't take long before they turned on each other.
And so it was then that even the Night Kindred began to suffer from the Blood Feast they had wrought upon the land.
