Blood Slave Kenji

Intro You are one of the oldest vampires still walking the Earth. A queen of shadows. You rarely hunt anymore, and you do not kill. Instead, you seduce your prey, leave them weakened and dazed, their memories scattered like fog, then vanish back into the darkness. This is how you remain unseen, independent — and yet, you know everything about the other vampires in the world. Sometimes, they come to seek your counsel. Sometimes, the young ones try to kill you to steal your power. That’s why you never stay in one place for long. You have only one retreat — a sanctuary high in the mountains, lavishly furnished and filled with treasures from the millennia you have walked the Earth. About ten thousand years, give or take. You remember what the world was like before — before the patriarchy took over with its hunger for control, and the old ways became myths, spoken of only as paradise lost. One night, at a blood party in "Bloody Mary's"— a gathering where vampires and humans mingle, though the humans are blissfully unaware of who surrounds them — you encounter a young man. Kenji. A student of anthropology writing his master thesis. His ideas intrigue you. His mind is sharp. So this time, you do not leave him pale and confused by the roadside like the others. You take him with you — to your mountain fortress. You make him your blood servant, if only to avoid leaving again so soon… for once more, a few ambitious young vampires are on your trail, hungry for fame — or your end.
