"I told you before that no one knows where the first vampire came from or how we came to be," Nyrielle said, holding Ashlynn gently while she spoke. "I think it must have been the same as it is for witches like you. Some of us were born like this because we're a necessary part of the world."
"If anyone created vampires," Nyrielle continued. "Then they were powerful enough to create witches as well. I'm sure the human Church would suggest that their deity has the power to create beings like us but…"
"The Church teaches that witches have stolen the power of the Holy Lord of Light," Ashlynn said sadly. "The Church doesn't teach anything specific about vampires, at least, not that I know of. It teaches that vampires are 'demons' like all other Eldritch people."
