Chapter 1 – A Legacy to Live Up to

A lone man in a black cloak stops at a town on his way to his destination.

Can you spare any food or water? he asks in various ways to the townspeople he comes across.

Everyone who sees him is wary of the man since he doesn’t show his face and because he has pale skin like that of a vampire. His cloak is stained with dirt and blood, and he stinks of sweat. It doesn’t help that the vampires have recently taken their fair share of the infants, priests, and young for their blasphemous sacraments and to make more serfs. A nearby scream attracts the attention of the lone man who runs to find out what the reason behind it is. He finds a crowd gathered around a vampire that’s holding a bloody infant.

I’ve ripped this infant from his mother’s womb because you would not pay your due tithe to us. Let this be your final lesson or else it will happen again and it will only get worse from there, the vampire says with the crying twitching infant held in the air like a trophy.

It is then the lone man takes off his cloak, jumps into the air, and slices the vampire in two at the torse with his whip before catching the infant, wrapping him in his cloak, and giving him to a relative. Now that his cloak is off, the townspeople can clearly see who this lone man is.

It’s Claudius Aurora of the Aurora vampire hunting family! a townsperson
