OOC)
There is a place in another dimension from our own where four peoples live in relative peace. However, this is a violent, cruel world and those who are not prepared for the bad things to come will be utterly destroyed. So, when an evil group of people decide to shatter that peace by slaughtering innocents and war breaks out between the four many are doomed to misfortune.
In this world where war has broken out the four opposing people are the cunning Vampires, the savage Werewolves, the magical Fae, and the stalwart Humans. The four for a while had a tentative peace a when a group of people called the Conclave of the Black Moon became bored with the very idea of peace and began slaughtering border towns of each of the races and with this sparked mistrust between the four war was declared and the world once more sank into chaos.
A human village comes under attack by a group of vampires. A girl gets captured by the vampires and then when the town responds they manage to overwhelm the vampires, who were very weak and only attacking out of desperation on the run from the Conclave of the Black Moon themselves. They kill most of the vampires until the last one is alive, the one who captured the girl.
As the girl’s father moves to strike him down the girl jumps to his defense, moved by his actions during her capture and imprisonment.

It is the cloudy night of a new moon. The world is black. However, to Calcifur and the vampires near him it might as well have been daytime. In fact, the only lights near them are the glow of their red eyes and the lights of a human village below, a beacon in the sea of darkness. They stand atop a high hill under a vast oak tree which spreads its wide arms over them.
Calcifur stands back and away from the rest, he is not the leader of this group or even really a part of it. He has been with them out of boredom and now he is trying to stop them from the foolish path they have decided on. “You should not do this,” he says quietly and calmly once more. Though he speaks softly the entire group can hear him. Though the other vampires seem angered by his words they look at him nervously.
Calcifur is not like them and they know it.
He is stronger, older, purer, and more powerful then any of them can even imagine. While they look starved and desperate, he merely looks bored.
One of them, a male named Rinius the so-called leader of the bunch, speaks up. “That is easy for you to say… my lord…” he trails of in the face of the blank coldness on Calcifur’s face, the contempt for their weakness in his black and red eyes. Rinius in his ravenous hunger finds a small amount of courage to prop himself up on and continues, “Regardless of what you say… old one… we are going to attack this village… we have no other choice… feed or die.” The other eleven vampires nod in agreement.
No emotion on his face Calcifur utters one word, “Pathetic.” Violence is so unnecessary and such a waste in so many ways he thinks. With that he vanishes in a cloud of black. The other vampires shudder and turn back to the village. It is time to go. Though they are significantly weaker than normal, after not eating for weeks now, they still run inhumanly fast. The plan is set. Run in, grab as many humans as they can, and retreat to their hideout nearby to feed and regain their strength, after that they would annihilate the rest of the village.
The top half of Calcifur’s body stuck out of a black cloud as he watches from the sky above the village as the vampires proceed. It doesn’t take long at all for them to descend the hill and slip through the forest to the edge of town. Only minutes later the screams start. Calcifur doesn’t need to see what is happening to know what is occurring below. The vampires starved as they are will probably be unable to resist feeding on whoever they come across first. Mostly like the first one to two people each vampire encounters will be dead, unless they are fighters. The vampires below are severely weakened. Even so they are more than a match for most humans driven as they are by total desperation. In addition, feeding will only give them more strength. Once their initial thirst is slaked, they will start to drag people away by force or by hypnosis if any of them have regained the power for it.
However, Calcifur knows not to underestimate humans. Though most humans in this world are as ants to him, there are those whose potential even gives him pause, but it is so for most of the sentient races in this world.
Still… How will the humans respond to this attack he wonders?
