At first, it didn't seem like much changed. As she was a Dhampir, she was always very humanlike; all she seemed to have lost were her red eyes that once matched her lovely long red hair, as they had now become blue. But, once we fully comprehended what had just happened, my wife was devastated.

"No," she cried, "I was able to defeat vampires because my energy is their bane. Now what? Our career is over."

I listen, I hug her, and I try to reassure her. "True. But who knows? There might be some upsides to this. I mean; now, any more kids we'd have wouldn't have to hide being dhampirs, as they'd be human. And, since they're human, they could be sons; that's a new experience we could have now."

She smiles a little; I can't tell if she was convinced by what I said or, much more likely, that she just appreciates how much I'm trying to make this sound good.

"You're right. But now... Well, my body, as a Dhampir, was... tailor-made for our time together. Now that I'm a human, what if I disappoint?"

I smile and laugh a little. "We've been married for years; we've had a lot of practice together. I'm sure you'll be just as great as always."

She smiles, she kisses me, and we head home to test my theory. I was right.
