"With the final shot piercing the heart of the twisted king, he erupted in a dark wispy ash. Death proveyed the room, as I looked around hearing the closest councilor looking towards me saying "All Hail my new Empress, may she lead us to glory." 

That was 150 years ago, during the time of when the Greeks roamed around in their glory and before the rise of the Catholics, and the beginnings of the Crusade. Not that it mattered in my Empire secluded from the world. My Empire that dominated the land, my Empire that grows more and more day by day, my...Empire..., my Empire of Monsters. 

There is no way around this, we are monsters. We are the creatures of the night, we are Vampires. We are the terrors in the legends you have heard of in so many stories, and our kin outside of our clan that don't behave themselves and must be dealt with. We are the stalkers, the lurkers, the night walkers, and so many others I can not even list them. Most of them are true. 

We must drink to survive and we have maintained silence and mere rumor and never direct confrontation, Thankfully. 

We are the Clan of Zura, we are the clan descended of the Vampire Goddess Zura (Supposedly), and in her name my Empire reigns. We are the oldest vampire clan in this world, and recently we have went through a great change, namely me. I am the current ruler of the Clan, Empress Rosaline Voltaz, also known as the Shadow Striker, due to my uncanny ability with a bow. I gained this throne from slaying the previous Lord of the Castle, Emperor Julian Azazel. Many in the Clan of Zura were fiercely loyal to him, however by the Codes of Zura, I earned the right to be named Empress. Even after 150 Years it hasn't been easy. 

I assume that if you are reading my journal, you either are new, or are spying, either way I shall explain the Codes of Zura or I guess what you would call Vampire Laws. 

1. The Emperor/Empress's word is law. Disobidience will result in punishment. 
2. Strike from the shadows, exposure hurts our kind and risks it spiraling towards demise. 
3. The Emperor/Empress's throne can be challenged in a duel. The Victor of that duel is the head of the Clan and determines the loser's fate
4. The Clan of Zura governs ALL vampires. Those who make fools of themselves and risk exposing vampires to the masses should be destroyed. 
5. Zura will only speak when she is needed to. Do not demand something from your goddess. 

Lady Zura, though debately a goddess, is the most powerful vampire on this planet. She is able to bestow a fraction of her power upon someone she deems worthy. The Blessing of Lady Zura not only amplifies our own supernatural abilities one hundred fold, but also gives us a transformation similar to that of a Lycanthrope. This...War Form as it is nicknamed, is supposedly the power of the vampire at is maximum potential, sadly it looks so inhuman and can actually drain our life energy from us, that it is rarely used even I don't tap into mine that often. 

I am happy to say that while I am a very controversial figure among my own kind, there is one great thing that even my most die hard of doubters can grant me. I managed to finally end the centuries of hatred that surrounded the Lycanthrope and Vampire Kind, at least between the two of the oldest clans. Lady Zura herself came to congradulate me on this task along with her best friend, the Omega Lycanthrope Queen, Jezelda. 

The Jezelda pack is just as old as the Clan of Zura. It governs similarly to us though Lady Jezelda is more lax with her rules then Lady Zura. Her tenants are mostly, "Don't be dumb and the strongest must lead." The Alpha Male of the Lycanthropes, is a Were Lion named Leon Klangross. He is a very kind man, and is so glad that we finally came to come common ground. We actually share hunting grounds now a days, and there have been VERY minimal objections to that aspect.

Lady Jezelda also grants a gift called the "Dire Form". It is a modified version of the transformation of the Animal Side that a Lycanthrope contains. A super powerful beast that is nearly unstoppable. The War Form is supposedly the only thing that CAN stop it. 

Life in the castle is, as I said, divisive. Many were happy with me taking over, especially since Julian's blatant abuses of power, and disregard for the safety of the clan at times. Not to mention his constant provocation of the Jezelda pack. However, many were also loyal since they felt his methods kept us safe, and I didn't have to kill him. 

I hope to one day fix this divide and unite us all in more then just what we need. Thank you for reading this - Empress Rosaline Voltaz, 118 A.D.
