As you may or may not know by now my name is simply Alic. Only those close to me know my last name as I do not give it out lightly. I have been alive for just over five centuries and have had more than my fair share of enemies in the at time but that was before I found out that there are those of our kind who have been born that way, those who call themselves full bloods. I also found out that there is a war going between those who have been turned and those who have been born, a war that has been going on for centuries over mortals.
The main reason for this war is because the full bloods see mortals as nothing more than food where as half bloods like to interact with them. We do feed on mortals but if we do not have to then we will not. I for one have had many mortal friends taken from me because of this war.
I have always tried to keep myself, my wife Melissa and my family out of the war but it seemed that it always came looking for us, ready to drag us in. I almost had to kill my eldest son Michael because he had been dragged into this war and sided with the other full bloods but Melissa had pleaded with me and Michael came back to be with me. Now he fights by my side against others of his kind, other full bloods.
Recently I was asked to become a general in this war but when I turned it down, telling the main council that I had had enough of fighting they were shocked by my decision and told me that I was making a mistake. A large part, the soldier in me told me that they were right, that I should have accepted their offer but another part of me did not want that anymore. I did not want the people that I knew dragged into a battle just to be killed as I knew would happen. I had seen far too much of that during my years and previous life as a knight during The Hundred Years War.
After that the war seemed to get worse and it start to spill out into mortals everyday lives. There were newspaper reports of thing they had seen although those had been covered up as being tall tales. I knew they were not though and wondered just how far this would go before it escalated too far. It also made me wonder what I could do to stop the war or at least bring some sense to the full bloods. It was after one of my closest friends Vincent was killed in front of my eyes by a group of full bloods that I put my own life in danger.
I went after one of the full blood council by myself and after the fight that almost cost me my life I killed him, taking his head to our council of elders. I had hoped that the death of one of their council members would make them rejoice but was surprised when they told me they were going to step up their efforts to destroy the full bloods. They wanted to make me a hero but I turned them down, telling them that I would not be made a figure head to send more of our kind to their deaths.
They told me that they would end my life then and there but I told them that if they did they would have to explain why I had been put to death after what I had done. I walked out of the chambers hoping that the war would now leave me alone but did not realize just how wrong I was.
Several months later I was attacked by a large group of full bloods who were after revenge for the death of the council member. Just when I thought that once again I would lose my life I was saved by my coven who I had not seen in years.
They told me that I had to come back to Europe; that they needed as many skilled warriors of our kind as they could to fight in this war as they were now losing. I knew then that I had to rejoin my kind to help fight this war in order to save the ones that I loved the most; my family.
That is why I am now here in the land of my birth, England in the year 1900 to try and put an end to this war.
