“We Higher kin distinguish ourselves from our Lesser kin by our higher thinking. We are able to rise above our baser instincts, and apply logic to situations.” Acheron joins in, his black and yellow eyes turning to Prad.

“Is it really so difficult to believe that Mortals can have a mutually beneficial relationship? Mortals often speak of duality. That there is always a counter balance. Where our Lesser kin thrive by savagery and instinct, we Higher kin thrive through logic and reasoning. Though this is not a claim that we are perfect. We Higher kin can in fact fall prey to our instincts. Blood being the true culprit.” Acheron shifts in his seat.

“Though we do not need blood to survive, mortal blood is infinitely more nourishing than any food. The life essence that we absorb from mortal blood is so intoxicating, that Higher kin can become addicted to it. A Higher Vampire addicted to blood could tear through a city within a few hours. Thus only Vampires of great stature, fortitude and discipline can gain positions within the council. Vampire Lord’s across the world adhere to the laws the council creates.”

“The most important laws they’ve created sense the founding of the council, is that no Higher Vampire is to kill another Higher Vampire or Human. We are not our Lesser kin, we are not self destructive or mindless. Thus any Vampire Lords who indulge in blood too often, are watched Death Dealers, like me. Any who violate the laws, are branded Anathema, and sentenced to eternal punishment. We’ve had quite a few Anathema in the past, but they’re always delt with.” Acheron grips the handle of his long sword.

“In the end the Higher Vampires find us just as valuable as we do them. Why refuse to aid one another, when savage creatures like those Lesser beasts are running around?” Alburn shrugs.
