Dark Dealings...

What do you want?

What are you giving out?

that depends on you...

i want to examine the best of what you have to give.

shows entire arsenal... take your pick....

Hmmmm, how about that steel tipped whip. *examines whip* This could be very useful. I'll take it.

now what will you give in return then? you should know that i dont just give things away...

*smiles cooly* I see that you are no fool. I commend you. Here, a gift from me. *pulls out a small vial of a red liquid and hands it over* Drink this, but be careful not to let it touch your tongue. If it does, you will lose your ability of speech.

ah... i have been searching for this for many centuries... *trades items* you have made a foul mistake my friend...

And what is that?

*drinks liquid* *Dark Aura pushes everything in the 10 yard radius away* because you helped me reach a higher form....

Ha! As if I would trade real dragon blood for a mere weapon. That is powerful poison.

i can take any poison and turn it into something useful... its all because of my blood....

*grins* That is a special poison. It's made from werewolf venom which as you know is lethal to vampires.

*repeat last statement*

it matters not. that poison has been specially tailored to you. Your vampire powers will not get rid of it.

you cannot tailor poison to my blood if you do not have my blood... my blood has never been spilt....

Ah, but it is not tailored to your blood, it is tailored to your undead soul. You might think that you have no soul but trust me, you do. There have only been three vampires in all history to have been created and not have a soul. they are Lilith, Count Vladislaus Dracula, and Cain.

those are the known ones... i am not one of them...

Believe me, THEY would know if you did not have a soul.

how can they? and who is this they? the only way they can tell if i have a soul or not is if i told them flat out...

Those without souls are like beacons to each other. They exude power beyond compare, dark power. And those who have been touched by this feeling always recognize it. If you did not have a soul then you would have been found out long ago.

unless i have the ability to constrain my aura... derr...

HAVE YOU NOT BEEN LISTENING?! They are the most powerful vampires in history! You cannot hide your aura from them if you have no soul. The absence of a soul goes beyond aura. The whole idea of an aura is that it is your life force. It comes from the soul. Those who have no soul HAVE NO AURA! That is why they always know each other. they can feel the disturbance in the net of life when a vampire with no soul is born.

but if they have no aura then no one would know that they are vampires to begin with... that is how the vampires can distinguish humes from their kind.
