As Cyris came out the other side of the passageway, she was greeted with another tomb, this telling the story of a blind guardian with incredible passion for his mission, serving his master even beyond the latter's death. Suddenly, the sarcouphagus in the center split open, an odd, thin shape approaching, dancing about like a performer, his hands protected by twin katars. A low hiss exitted the being, as he approached Cyris...
"Well? care to explain?" Kard growled.
"Well..." Ivan replied.
"Speak!" Kard roared in anger.
"Alright, arlight," Ivan sighed with obvious sadness. "You see, when I was young, I was quite foolish. I had been born under Algol's reign, and I knew so much aboutthe world. I had wanted to preserve this knowledge, as I feared that it would all disappear eventually. So, I sought out a witch, and, with her power, she gave me eternal life. But it came at a cost... you see, when the spell came upon me, it granted my immortal life. However, my soul was taken from me, and I was cursed to become a slave of the witch, simply another mindless underling to do her bidding. I managed to break her hold and escaped, but my curse had already afflicted me- I had become a scourge, a demon of my society, and I was cast out, allowed to stay only by Algol's kindess and foresight. I served as his advisor, and, when he died, I made my way through the world. But I knew I would forever be branded what I was- a vampire. Through milennia of training, have I weakened my thirst for blood, and I have become resilient to the sun, but I still feel my hunger at times, and the sun's effect on my form. Please, don't treat me as a monster too.... I have done enough in my life, and all I want is to be treated as a human once more..."
Ivan's eyes grew heavy with sorrow...
