Banshees, often referred to as the Harbingers of doom, possess a unique ability. When they enter our world, including their own presence, they emit a powerful scream as an announcement. However, this isn't the only occasion they use their piercing wail. Their name is derived from their capability to sense when a family member has passed away, which they, too, communicate through their haunting cries. Banshees frequently possess the gift of foreseeing death within their family and glimpsing into a distorted future. The manner in which this knowledge manifests varies from one banshee to another. For some, it may come as faint whispers, while others experience vivid visions or alternative forms of revelation. It's important to note that merely perceiving such signs doesn't guarantee their fulfillment, as the future remains malleable, and these glimpses are but one of the many potential outcomes they perceive. In the context of this novel. Deinekes wife became the First Banshee in the world.
The name 'Banshee' was given to her by her own husband. It was clear he had created a seperate race on his own. Another race that was different from the one, his daughter was.
***
After some time, Deinekes tried his best to create more Vampires, but it all seems like it was impossible. Whenever he tried the ritual, it would create another race entirely. He became obsessed with it. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't create any Vampire anymore. He would at night harbour Individuals at the road and perform a ritual on them without their permission and turn them into a new race entirely, if he couldn't hide their appearance he would command them to be locked in his own house.
Naturally as a Vampire, he had the mind control Ability and he was even able to control those he had created. This happened after a month or so after his daughters birth and after initiating his wife.
***
It was entirely dark and it was inside a forest. All the Vampires sat down together and they were waiting for somebody. The Twenty-three Vampires here were all created by the original Vampire; Deinekes. It was thirteen men and ten women.
Finally from the bushes all of them could hear some Individuals coming and when the Individuals arrived Deinekes was standing in front of them.
All the Twenty-three Vampires stood up and bowed down their heads indicating a respect for him. They all had a great respect for Deinekes and saw him as a King. All of them here are Servants. Servants of some top officials in Ancient Greece.
Deinekes decided to only initiate Individuals that were weak. He was also once weak and he knew they would be greatfull and he was right. The Vampires could smell a seperate smell from some Individuals standing behind Deinekes.
"Yes. I have something to tell you all." Deinekes said. "I have tried to create other Vampires, but all my attempts have failed."
"Instead i have created new Speeches. I want you all to see them as your brothers and Sisters like you see one another." Deinekes said.
All the Vampires nodded and said in Unison. "If you see them as your own Brothers and Sisters. We will all too."
Deinekes replied with a smile. "Thank you, we are all one big family."
"Now, let me tell you what i have observed about each one of them and the name I have called each of their seperate races." Deinekes started and the first person he explained was his Wife which was a Banshee.
"This is Pericles." Deinekes said as he pointed at one of the new individuals he had brought to the Vampire Meeting. "After my research, I have given him a name. It would be a name that would be attached to any of his kind. A Strigoi."
[A Strigoi is a malevolent supernatural entity, often depicted as a vampiric creature. Strigoi are characterized by their insatiable thirst for blood and their ability to transform or manipulate their appearance to deceive or stalk their prey. These beings are typically associated with darkness and the night, as they are nocturnal creatures.]
[They have enhanced strength, speed, and the ability to mesmerize or hypnotize their victims. They are Vulnerable to Sunlight like Vampires]
[They are attributed with the abilities to transform into an animal, become invisible, and to gain vitality from the blood of their victims]
[Strigoi can also learn Magic as they have little Mana in them, a little higher than a Regular Vampire]
All the Vampires listened to what Deinekes said about Pericles and his race would now be known as a Strigoi from hence forth.
"This is Helena" Deinekes said. "She has become something i refer to as a Ghoul."
[A Ghoul is a supernatural creature that typically possesses a ravenous appetite for human flesh. Ghouls are often depicted as undead or demonic beings, cursed to roam the night in search of corpses or living victims to consume. They are distinct from common zombies or other undead creatures, as they retain their intelligence and may have unique abilities or characteristics.]
[1. **Corpse Eaters:** Ghouls are known for their insatiable hunger for human flesh, particularly that of the deceased. They are often drawn to graveyards and burial sites, where they dig up and feast upon recently buried corpses.
2. **Nocturnal Predators:** Ghouls are creatures of the night and are most active after sunset. They prefer darkness and tend to avoid daylight or well-lit areas.
3. **Enhanced Abilities:** Ghouls may possess enhanced physical attributes, such as strength and agility, which make them formidable hunters. Their senses, particularly their sense of smell, are often heightened, aiding them in tracking prey.
4. **Vulnerabilities:** While Ghouls are formidable, they may have specific vulnerabilities or weaknesses. These could include aversion to certain symbols, substances, or magical wards that deter or harm them.
5. **Hunting Behavior:** Ghouls are relentless hunters, driven by their hunger for human flesh. They may stalk and ambush their prey, or they might scavenge for corpses in graveyards. Some Ghouls may also target the living, making them a menace to local communities.]
"Now let me tell you about another two more races that i have created that also have a strong desire for human flesh instead of blood as we do." Deinekes said after he had explained what a Ghoul is.
Deinekes them pointed at another two individuals. One of them was chained like a criminal from head to toe and looked like a monster. The chains were glowing meaning it was infused with magic to be able to hold such a beast. "I refer to them as Wight and the other one. The one i fear the most."
"The other one is what i call a Wendigo..." Deinekes said.
