ANCIENT GREECE
(425 BCE) - 25 YEARS AFTER MELINA WAS BORN. THIS WAS THE YEAR THE WAR OF OLDS STARTED. IT WAS ALSO WHEN KING LEONIDAS DIED.
***
On a cold winter night, King Leonidas lay dying in his bedchamber. His loyal servant, Demetrius, sat by his side, clutching his hand. The king had been ailing for weeks, and his condition had taken a turn for the worse. The old and First Original Werewolf (king) knew that his time was short.
"Demetrius," he rasped, his voice weak but steady. "I need you to do something for me. It is of utmost importance."
"Anything, my liege," Demetrius replied, his voice quivering with emotion.
"I have been a good and a bad friend at thesame time." King Leonidas started speaking. "There are things i didn't tell you and one of them is the fact that. I have a dream about Twenty Five Years back, i saw the Vampires and the Werewolves fight each other and the Werewolves were almost made extinct."
"I don't know if it would come true. But if it ever happens and you are alive stop it." King Leonidas coughed after these words. "You are immortal by the way."
The King didn't tell Deinekes about the Blood Fairies they have been creating that is what he planned to carry to his grave. If a war between Werewolves and Vampires is going to come eventually, His race is going to need the element of Surprise. Besides based on what he had observed, the Vampires have perfect memory as they hardly almost forget. They are smarter than humans and Werewolves combined. Even if Deinekes didn't tell him he had noticed it.
"My King. I promise you i would prevent that." Deinekes said. "I also plan to fake my own death as well."
"People are starting to get supicious of me. It because i have stopped ageing." Deinekes concluded. "I would fake my death and leave this country, but i would still keep watch if any part of your dream comes true."
"Thank you." King Leonidas said trying to crack a smile. "At least i know my race wouldn't go into extinction. I love the Werewolves so much."
"Please look after them." King Leonidas said as he ordered Deinekes to leave.

After King Leonidas I's death, his son, Cleomenes II, ascended to the throne. The once-mighty Spartan army was depleted and weakened, and Cleomenes II was unable to restore the nation to its former glory.
He was also now the Leader of the Werewolf pack behind the scene of the Spartan eyes. He was now their Alpha. As for Deinekes he had faked his own death and had left the city of Sparta. His daughter, His wife and the other Vampires were the only one who knew his hidden resident location outside Sparta. His wife was still ageing as usual so it didn't look suspicious.
***
As for Deinekes due to his research for twenty five years. He had spent on his daughter. He then referred to his daughter as a Race to be known as Dhampir. He told the entire Vampires. But their was some things he kept to himself and his wife only.
The fact that his daughter; Melina, the First Dhampir naturally had the ability to transfer pain. She naturally feels like Killing a Vampire even without a reasonable cause. And also a theory that she could get stronger by Killing a Vampire. Not just only Vampires, but also all Vampires related races Like the Banshee, Blood Fairy, Ghoul, Wendigo, Wights and Draugr.
He still has so many theories about how his daughter learnt such a technique, a technique of how to transfer pain from her body to another person. Instead of her eyes glowing red like the other Vampires, it glows Yellow instead.
There was a day Melina killed a Vampire secretly due to she and the Vampire having a problem. Her dad knew about this and kept this a secret. When he confronted Melina, she said she found it sweet and she didn't even feel remorseful about it.
Deinekes didn't know everything about his daughters like as she kept most things a secret from him and it would also lead to his downfall.
***
It was in the middle of the night and all the Werewolves were in a meeting with the Blood Fairies.
Cleomenes II was present as he was the Alpha of the Werewolf Pack. Georgious was also there as he was the head of the Blood Fairies. He had been secretly plotting to end the Vampires behind their own back. He attends the Vampire meeting and even the Vampires have no clue that he has created more Blood Fairies.
Deinekes prohibited him because he saw his race as a threat to the Vampires. The only reason Deinekes let him live was because of his wife who thought he shouldn't kill him until necessary.
Originally, King Leonidas only created this secret group as a Surprise attack in case his dream comes through, but since he is dead. Georgious used this medium to persuade his son; Cleomenes II that it would be advisable to destroy the Vampires before they destroy the Werewolves.
"So you really think it is necessary." Cleomenes II said holding his chin.
"Yes, My Lord." Georgious said outsmarting the boy. Since Georgious was turned he has a great hatred for Deinekes and the entire Vampires to the point that he wouldn't hesitate to kill them if he had a chance. "It is advisable to attack before the get stronger."
"If we plan to eliminate them we should go for the strongest first." One of the Werewolves present said.
"That's true, so who is the Strongest." Cleomenes II asked Georgious.
Georgious laughed as a form of mockery. The Werewolves didn't like this at all. The way he laughed was annoying.
"Are you underestimating The Pack." Cleomenes II said annoyed.
"No, i am not. Deinekes is the Strongest and he is the First Original Vampire. He would be able to kill any of you if it was a one on one fight. The only person that would have stand a chance is your Father; The late King Leonidas." Georgious said.
"Then we attack in group." Cleomenes II suggested.
"No, I don't want them to suspect the Pack at least for now. I want it to be a Surprise attack." Georgious said.
"So what do we do." Cleomenes II said.
"Don't worry. I have someone that would be glad to kill him. She doesn't hate him. She just love the fact that she could get stronger. I have been doing my research on her and i found out that she is even more deadly that my race. He kept those things a Secret from the Vampires because he knew we would see her as a threat." Georgious said.
"Who is this person?" Cleomenes II asked curious to know.
"It's his daughter; Melina, She is a race he refers to as a Dhampir." Georgious said.
