"I was popularly known as 'The Humiliated Soldier' in all of Sparta and this made me greatly popular than most of you would have imagined. I was known as a Humiliated Figure." Nightshade/Alexius continued:
"The day of the war with Sparta and Persians. I was surprised when i was told by the King that i am to stay in the front line. I didn't understand it and was scared."
"Most people would be honoured to stay in the front line for their country as they would see it as a great honour and would be willing to die."
"When the war began and the Spartans were losing. I was caught alone by a Persian soldier. He stabbed my body twice, once in my stomach and one in my chest. But I didn't die. I woke up in a place that wasn't my home or any place that I knew of. Deinekes was there."
"The last thing i remembered was i was dieing and now when i opened my eyes I could see Deinekes standing there."
"What happened to me. How am i alive." I asked Deinekes.
"You were stabbed in your chest and your stomach by a Persian and lastly you were shot in the head with an arrow." Deinekes replied. "Everyone now thinks you are dead. But I knew you wouldn't die so easily. I was doing a research to find out if turning someone to a Va..."
"What... say it." I asked Deinekes confused.
"You are now A Vampire." Deinekes said.
I couldn't hold my laughter as i laughed loudly. I couldn't control myself. I didn't want to laugh in front of Deinekes as he was the King's Advisor, but i couldn't take this joke. A Vampire, a creature that is roamed to move the streets at night and drink blood and there was no proof he or she existed or not. It was just a tale spread throughout the country. Deinekes was now telling me that I was one of them. How Absurd did that sound?
"I was doing a research to find out if an almost dead human would be able to successfully turn into a Vampire." Deinekes told me. "I had followed you guys secretly and I deliberately didn't intervene as i needed at least a certain amount of almost dead humans to try the research."
"When the war ended i came and I did the blood ritual on many people and i came to where you were, this was when i noticed that the Arrow didn't penetrate your head fully as it was only the peak of the Arrow that hit you and it was clearly it had injured your skull." Deinekes continued telling me. "You chest had a big mark and so was your stomach indicating you were stabbed. Your blood was leaving you and looking at you. You were already dead. I still tried to ritual on you and miraculously your body started to heal."
"This was why he called me 'The Dead Vampire.' That's where he came up with that name." Deinekes said.
The Vampires started talking among themselves. They had heard Deinekes called Nightshade the dead Vampire Several times. But they thought it was just a regular name.
"I was so happy being alive. But this was the sad part. Deinekes told me that everyone in Sparta thinks i am dead. That i should always stay in this room."
"I was angry at first, but i later understood why as it was really important and it also gave me enough time to train myself. I also later found out that my hair was becoming darker and darker and until it turned entirely black. I allowed it to grow to the point that it reached my shoulder making the other Twenty-four Vampires created by Deinekes not to know me." Deinekes said.
"Interesting." One of the Twenty-five Vampires who went by the name Rafe interrupted. "But how did you get stronger than all of us. It can't be just training."
"Like it or not. It was just training." Deinekes replied. "Most of you don't bother to train as you all know Vampires are stronger and faster than Humans, but there is one race that i had always seen Superior than us even if we agree to accept it or not."
"The Werewolves." Jax one of the First Vampires turned by Deinekes replied.
The Vampires started talking to one another out of concern and this also included the Vampires Related Races.
"What if it was a Werewolf that did this to Deinekes and Georgious." Anubis suggested.
There was a silence among everyone. It looked possible and impossible at the same time. A Werewolf was strong and could easily defeat a Regular Vampire, but defeating a Vampire like Deinekes would be hard except the whole park had come in the First Place.
"We are not sure of that yet." Anubis said again rebuking his suggestion. "We can't just jump into conclusion. I suggest one of us is sent to Cleomenes II to ask him if he knows anything."
"That's a good idea." Phoebe replied. "Now Nightshade continue with how you became so strong."
"When training." Nightshade said. "I found out something, the more life and death situation, i am in, the more faster i would become. I did this every single day, but i always did take permission from Deinekes. I would go deep into this jungle and fight Bears and other things."
"I know you would think that a Bear Isn't a threat to a Vampire and i agree. The way i play the game is actually funny. I would make sure the bear has made no scratch on me. I would usually attack about Seventy Bears at once."
"I climbed mountains, trying to push myself to the limit. I trained my mind as well. I would travel from one place to another without using my supernatural speed and just walk, I would run from one place to another very quickly to increase my speed and stamina."
"I trained my mind, I would meditate to build my mind to the strongest it could ever be. My mind is now in full control of my body, it is very hard for me to lose control of myself. I noticed that the more life and death situations i put myself in. The better i become and naturally my speed and strength increased which made me the Second Strongest Vampire."
"Keep Training. Non Stop." Nightshade concluded. "I want all of us to start that kind of training. We don't know what is coming..."

At the same time in the King's castle. Several Individuals were inside the throne room. Some of them were important Individuals in the country, while others were just guards. They were all Werewolves that have been turned one way or the other.
King Cleomenes II was sitting on his seat looking at them and had a smile on his face. He just told them the story of the fight. How Deinekes had almost killed him in just a single hit and had killed Georgious easily.
"I ate his body and now i feel very strong." Cleomenes II said as punched the arm side of the throne chair and it broke instantly like it was made of paper. This was a feat that only the late King Leonidas; The First Original Werewolf could do. But right in front of everyone eyes, King Cleomenes II looked almost as strong as his Deceased Father or maybe even stronger.
"Let's show them what we have." Cleomenes II said in a commanding voice. "Let's show them that the Werewolves are way Stronger than the Vampires. We shall eat their flesh and bones."
"We are going to make that race Extinct tonight." Cleomenes II concluded. "Thank the gods, it's a Full Moon Night..."
