Werewolves are oblivious to the effect the moon has on me. While it
calls to them, caressing their wolf form with its gentle glow and they howl in
loyalty to it, they call to me. The sounds of their pleas are easy to track and
they lure me to them with the promise of a massacre. There is an unexplainable
pleasure in bringing down a pack single-handedly. Watching their blood spill
across the grass as their bodies shake and shift into the human they pretend to
be and silence left by their last breathes bring me peace.
These are the journal entries of a centuries old vampire, Nicolas Rider. Welcome to his world...

October 9, 1520 - Athens
I
miss the sun. I miss the way it warms my skin. I miss the way the rays danced
across everything I loved, making them brighter, better, and more beautiful.
But the moon is often forgotten by the day-dwellers. They overlook its simplicity,
its gentle pull on the world and the ones in it. Unlike the sun, it is a beckon
of light to a dark species. It casts shadows of the trees around me, covering
the forest floor. I stare at its nearly perfect circle, listening to the howls
in the distance.
