        As I sit and type away into the dark night it has been my compaion since
before the birth of christ how many milenia have we sat side by side.For
how long has it hidden me while I do my work.I am not a child of the
darkness.I am the father how Dracula wishes he was the first but he doesn't
hold the secrets inside.Know I shall tell my story and maybe stop this
dance between good and evil.If it can be stopped now after all these
years.And the perfect place to start a story is in the begining.
					Act I
				        In the Begining   


	If you'll travel with me over desert sands into a time without time before
the pyramids.To a small but well defined civilazation on the banks of
Mesapotamia.I was a young boy there and even from that age I had seen them
the spirits theyy came to me and we talked in our on language late into the
night.And it was this connection with the otherside that really starts my
story.In our village people like this became pretis from very young age and
this is were I was headed.I was happy as anyone could be with my studies
and by the age of 23 I was beging insiated to priest hood I was a a High
Priest in charge of protecting the Ark its not the same as the one you
belive in today this was different it housed are god.Or so we thought but
day in and day out I was cleansed and then I would enter and change the
oils and incense and ignite the candles.And watch the Ark writting
questions and burning them in front of it and in the morning there the
answeres would be on the floor in different forms each times but it the
back of my mind I felt an urge to see what was inside but it was
forbiden.And probably for the best so a year went by like this but that
terrible curiosity was nagging at me but my will kept it at bay.A priest
can be married and have one child which will in turn become a priest which
is an extreme honor and so I was married and my wife became pregant the joy
is unbelivable but the gods had another thing in mind.My wife became
terribly sick the people called it a curse actually in these centurys I
learned that it was phenmono.She got worse ande worse and so did I.I begged
with the gods and pleaded and  offered sacrifices of things.Until on night
a spirit came to me in my sleep and started talking at first I ignored him
but then he started making sense he said that if I opened the Ark the
spirit inside would do anything I want I was already on the verge of
madness and as my wife lay coughing with my unborn child inside all I knew
then is that I must save them at any cost even my own life.I went to the
temple habits bad I cleansed but you see I can enter any church but my
offspring weren't cleansed when they were made so they burst into flames
stepping on holy ground. As I entered th e temple rage filled me but I
would not do this I told myself the spirt yelled at me telling me I was to
weak to save my on family I cursed that spirit and ran and threw the lid of
the Ark and dammned myself I am not sure what I realesed but it hit me with
about a thousand pounds of force it knocked me up aganst the wall I felt it
enter me through my eyes the eyes the the windows to the soul.What you must
understand is that our soul gives us life and charecter but our mind gives
use that personality it killed me right there and replaced my soul with its
on thats what gives us power but we are dead for the most part and the
spirit provides the hunger it needs the blood to keep its host its a
parsite and it needs it to finish the transformation and change you.Like
they say time does not change us we only become more fully what we really
are.I landed coughing and gaging vomiting up the life inside of me I laid
there as my body died but it I was holding on in a strange way I arose from
that floor a vampire a curse a  damnation I was no longer Osterin the
Priest I was now Osterin the Damned,I went back to the village the dark was
lighted like the day I knew I had failed myself and ,my family the sun
began to rise in the west I felt it burn me I began to dig in the ground
deeper and deeper until I fell asleep I awoke with an insasible hunger I
rose up it was night and I realzided it now.I was to take the blood to
survive and  that I couldn't die only the suns light and fire were the only
things but nowadays the sun can't even kill me nor flame.But then yes I
went to my wife she was almost dead I gave her my blood and I watched her
heal.her child was the begning of the Belmonts they have some Vampire in
them that is why there such great hunters I left that Villiage only feeding
I won't even describe that it's not important I learned about my powers on
this trip how to be Bat,Wolf,Mist,read thoughts cast spells.And thats how
it was until I reached Europe they were still in huts easy to prey on.They
figured me a demon and didn't come out at night any longer I was a nomad
then learing about my self but I was alone so I created others like me.I
will describe this later.But it is near morning I must go feed tommorow I
shall write once more. Until then goodbye.
