Story: The Rule of the Damned
The rain continues to assault us as the light from the wooden torches becomes stronger. With a last glance at Renfield, I open my mouth to plead one last time. She shouts, “Go! Now, before it's too late!”
A Fresh Start
Circa 1600 BC, Hecate, the Greek Goddess of Witchcraft was adored by humans and worshiped frequently. But, as humanity evolved so did their beliefs.
While Hecate still received visitors at her temple in Athena, as the years passed, the frequency of visitors to her temple dwindled. Until eventually, only her brothers, the more well known Greek deities received the worship she had once received too.
Then one day, three human bloodlines appealed to her.
Their plea, tinged with desperation, touched something in her soul that she hadn’t experienced for hundreds of years. So for the first time since she could remember, she listened to the prayers and took pity on the people offering them. Hecate granted these humans the power they craved, thinking that with the change for them, maybe it was time for a change for her too.
Along with the newly made Supernaturals, Hecate hoped to usher in a new era of power, one she could be an active participant in, instead of watching from the sidelines while someone else took all the glory.
But, with their unchanging appearance and superhuman abilities, humans struggled to accept the Supernaturals, and eventually they became more isolated from humanity than they ever were before. Every few years,they moved around Europe and when they had nowhere left to go; they looked to the New World, America.
This time, when Drusilla, Amaya Van Helsing, Jensen Jekyll, Hadrian Hyde, and Hecate started over, they learned from their mistakes.
This time, they trusted no one with their Supernatural secret. This time, they built an empire and finally worked on becoming the kings they had always hoped to be.
