Friends I Met Along My Travels Chapter 1

 When you're searching for something, or rather someone impossible to find, you often find unexpected treasures along the way.      Being mostly undead meant that staying in one place for too long was not an option. It posed too many risks, the biggest one being, exposing that you never age to the people who live around you.      Now, I will pause here, because I know some will question the notion of not aging. Yes, I was a child at one point in my life and grew up. A vampire, born as a vampire, does age, so does a turn one. It's just that aging is a concept that can't quite be fully explained by natural terms of human aging. A born vampire will start off as an infant and age until adult age, which at that point, they stay looking that way for centuries. For the turned vampire, they stay as they were turned for centuries as well. But, as the centuries rack up, the aging does happy in appearance for a va...

Friends I Met Along My Travels 2

On the topic of encounters, and friends I have met along the way, come another two tales that serve as a record for the variety of beings that a vampire may encounter during their long lifespan. I remember another special being I had met serendipitously while living on the eastern side of the country at the time. One evening, while walking the streets, the scent of pizza permeated the air. It was s strong and tempting, being that I had been wandering for quite some time and felt quite hungry. It wasn't unusual for me to spent hours of the night just wandering hoping some random clue would appear before me, while searing for my brother. I decided to follow the scent and it led me to a back alleyway. When I rounded the corner, I could see a figure, but not just any figure. It wasn't quite human. I could tell by their outline, that they had wings, large wings. I was hesitant to approach at first, as obviously, they were not human and could pose a threat. But the smell and the curi...

Friends I Met Upon My Travels 3

 While I could go on about the many different humans, mythical creatures, and on humans I have met during my travels. We'll end off with two more friends that I have met recently. Nighttime is a great time if you are looking to meet or find a being that isn't human. It's the time humans tend to not like being out in the most, plus its harder for them to see and discern what they are seeing. For those that have supernatural eyes, nighttime, is the time you can see the wonders of spices and beings that hide from the human eye.      One evening, I happen to come across one such being. Now, being that I'm a vampire, and also searching for something I don't think I'll ever find, it's not uncommon for me to go out into the wilderness or just plain wild places, where people aren't likely to be, hoping to encounter someone that might have some clues. I had been searching a particular area for a few weeks now. I knew enclaves and homes to mythical beings, can oft...
