A Dhampir is a unique and rare individual resulting from the union of a Vampire and a Human through sexual intercourse. They are born as a hybrid of both species, inheriting traits and abilities from both their vampire and human parentage. As a result of this mixed heritage, Dhampirs possess exceptional physical and supernatural capabilities, making them formidable Vampire hunters.
Dhampirs are considered illegal in the Vampire Settlement and are strictly prohibited by vampire law. The creation of a Dhampir is viewed as a threat to the established order and power dynamics within the vampire society. This act is punishable by death, reflecting the seriousness with which the vampires regard the existence of these hybrids.
Unlike regular vampires, Dhampirs do not inherit the natural weaknesses commonly associated with vampire lore. They are not affected by sunlight and they do not require blood to sustain themselves. This unique immunity to traditional vampire weaknesses makes them a potent force against their vampire counterparts.
Dhampirs possess a blend of both vampire and human abilities, combining the heightened physical attributes and supernatural powers of vampires with the ingenuity and resourcefulness of humans. They are skilled fighters, fast and agile, with enhanced strength and senses that aid them in their role as vampire hunters.
The rarity of Dhampirs adds to their allure and mystique, as their existence challenges the established norms and beliefs of the vampire society. Their abilities and reputation as effective vampire hunters make them both feared and sought after, causing a tension between those who wish to exploit their skills and those who wish to eliminate them to maintain the status quo.

"Some years back, i impregnated a lady and she gave birth to a Dhampir....." The king said, but could not complete his sentence because of everyone's sudden reply.
"A Dhampir?" The two guards and the boy said in shock.
They knew that creating a Dhampir was illegal and yet the king who had also persecuted others for creating a Dhmapir had secretly created one himself.
Even the guards were also shocked at what the King had just said. If it were a regular Vampire, they would have extracted the where about of the Dhampir Immediately and killed him on the spot, but this person wasn't an ordinary Vampire. This person was the King himself.
"I know what you are all thinking, you are all wondering what made me do it. Why i had sexual intercourse with a human." The king said and he paused for a while.
"It was all an accident. The lady herself was a magician. We both had love for each other. This happened some years back. I think it should be around sixteen years ago." The king paused again and continued.
"We meet during the time I went as a spy to study the advancement of Humans." The king continued. "We fell in love, until one night she found out i was a Vampire."
"I wasn't comfortable with the fact that she knew my existence, although she was okay with it. I wasn't."
"On a sunny day, she made a spell that made me make love to her and i fell on that spell instantly and we had sex. When i recovered my senses, she tricked me into believing that i didn't deposit any of my semen into her body."
"We then seperated when i was coming back to the Vampire Settlement." The king then paused again as he could see the desperation in all there eyes to know the truth. "The truth is hidden from everyone including my wife and my sons. No one knows except for me and the three of you. I would expect it to remain that way."
"Now back to my story, Ten Years later, we meet again and i found her with a child. We meant in the market and her found her with a female child. I didn't know this child was mind at first, but i noticed it's smell. The child's smell was different from other Humans. The child had the smell of a Vampire."
(NOTE: IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS NOVEL, BOTH VAMPIRES AND DHMAPIR HAVE THESAME SMELL. SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS A DHMAPIR UNTIL THAT PERSON REVEALS IT TO THAT PERSON EITHER BY WORDS OR THROUGH ACTIONS.)
"I spent some days with the lady and her daughter not realizing at first it was mine. Until one day, I started to notice something: this child could move in the sun without feeling weak but rather was excited. It was clear our natural weakness wasn't in her. That wasn't still enough for me to call her a Dhampir just yet, but the possibility of her being a Dhmapir was large, but yet i still needed to confirm from her mother."
"After i noticed for a few days that this girl wasn't affected by the Sunlight, I decided to then confront her mother. Because I had confirmed it, she was not affected by sunlight. I confirmed it the day, we both entered the sun. I got Immediately weak and she didn't."
"When i asked her mother, I didn't just ask her like a person would have. I used my Daze Ability to influence her to say the truth and that was when i found out she was my daughter." The king then paused for a while and then bent his head and continued the following words. The king himself was someone who uphold the law strictly, but he couldn't kill this Dhampir because she was his own blood, his own daughter.
"I wanted to do the usual and kill her on the spot. But I couldn't, she was my own blood. My own daughter and just the few days I had spent with her. I could tell that i really loved her as a child, even before I knew she was my child."
"As a father who couldn't kill his own daughter, i informed her of the risk, that she shouldn't let our daughter mingle with any Vampires. If they found out she would be killed instantly by the Vampires who see Dhampir's as a threat."
"I also dropped some notes and books on how she could teach my daughter, how to become stronger so that she could fight the enemies. I left them and came back to the Vampire Settlement, i haven't informed anyone of this until today."
"I would sometimes go and spy on them, unknown to them, or sometimes I would send humans who are mostly influenced by my charm or daze. I use that look at them from a far angle Unknown to them and that when i found out that she was going to be enrolled in the Batch B's set of Fort Valor Military Academy."
The story had now ended, The two guards were shocked by what the King himself had said. They didn't expect this from him. The boy on the other could understand by putting himself in the King's shoes. He was ready to do whatever the King told him in other to save his family.
The king then continued: "If you want your Family to be safe, you just have to do one thing. I am going to enroll you to Fort Valor Military Academy and i want you to be my inside man. Keep an eye on my daughter."
