Come,
he calls,
just that one word.
Come,
and they all do.
The whole clan shows.
From the lowliest drone,
right up to the first.
The family is moving
never stay in one place too long
that had been his motto for centuries
It had served them well
They were the least known clan
though they had been here almost the longest.
He shared his first name with one of the elders
Vlad
But he was not Tepes, he was Yaroslavovich.
And his plan was to go to the Carpathians
homeland of the once famous vampire Queen Elizabeth Bathory.
Leave before they over fed on the locals.
Never turn one without permission.
Think of the family first and always.
Come,
gather around my children.
They all heard no matter the distance.
All would be there to protect the patriarch.
All would lay their immortal soul on the line.
Drones would make all the arrangements that day.
When darkness fell the mass exodus would start,
He would be the last to leave .
And when all were safe in the new sanctuary
Their new life with humans would re-start.
Some had called them Strigoi, others Upyri
They were what they were.
Vampire that was the new name,
and it fit just as well as any of the others had.

OK if this doesn't fit then toss it, I won't feel bad.

Congragulations on the Bronze you had some Clan names that even I didn't know. I will look them up and see what they are or if they are even listed in internet. ^^ Seeing as True Vampyr don't put their true history for all to see. It maybe just mans guesses but interesting all the same

I really do like it, I think with a little research this could be a very good informational read. You do use terms and I like that, think about myth, think about what we do have a record of own vampireisom. I will read again when you message me.
