This is a short poem that I wrote about 1 year ago. And I just realized that I am to obsessed with vampires or is there really a limit on how obsessed with it you can be?
Drops of blood and marks of tears on a
paper where words of love is written and
a promise of life is given to the damned
one by a innocent soul that deliver him
from evil when she smiles. _________________ "I am a proud Vampirate since I couldn't decide if I wanted to be a vampire or a pirate when I grew up. I solved that by being both."

This is a snippet of a story that has starting to rattle around in my poor mind since I read the webcomic Drowtales.
It's probably got a hundred of grammatical wrongs but this is just the second draft so I haven't fixed the grammatics yet.
The Forgotten Elves
In Shadows
Prolog: From a scholar's diary
"Our safe haven is slowly being overrun by the unwilling carriers of the demonic taint. No matter what we do to try and stop the spreading of this evil it's never enough to stop the darkness from seeping in to our life and taint our lives and our inner light.
we fleed from our ancient home ages ago to get away from the darkness that was forming in the heart of one of our sister clan's just to find ourself trapped by the same kind of demonic darkness that our sister clan was willingly tainting it self with.
My own beloved sister who once was our Lord Cailain's seer has been tainted and soon she fell in to madness and had to be killed to protect those who still is untainted by the darkness. My sisters fate is not one that suprised me, she was determined to learn how to fight the darkness or atleast controll it and her arrogance had it price. She lost her sanity and life while I lost the only surviving member of my family.
Soon I fear that our clan will be wiped away from the the Tree of History and our strings in The Great Weaver's Loom will be cut to never be seen again in the Fabric of Destiny.
I hope that I am wrong about that and that it's only nightmares of a broken elf consumed by bitterness and not a real prediction. Our clan who once belonged to a great people, now we hide from shadows and invisible threats. We have even started to watch our fellow elves with misstrust and suspiciousness, anyone can be tainted and if they are then they are a threat.
I, myself has since my sister sad fate isolated myself in my own home with only my books for company. I do this to make sure that the taint my sister inflicted on me will not harm anyone else.
Everyday I feel the taint gain more and more power over me, but I will not let it win over me, I have a plan to make sure that I win over it instead.
I fear that these pages will be the last ones I write, my plan will stop me from writing anymore but it is a sacriface for greater good as my uncle used to say about our Lord's fathers death to protect our city.
But I still have doubts about my decision, is it the right one or am I making a misstake. But I will not let the doubts stop me now, I will not falter from the path I choosen.
I pray that the gods will be merciful and help my clan to fight the darkness that is trying to destroy us from the inside.
I have put everything in order, I have left a not to my friends so they now what they should do with my books that I have written on the subject of our clan's history. I hope that the books will help the newer generations. My wine this night has something extra in it so I will sleep to never awaken again. I hope it will ne enought to stop my taint from spreading. I hope the gods will forgive me for taking this way out but it can not be helped, I refuse to end up like my poor sister and some of my friends.
This is the last pages of Morgain of the Silver Dragon clan, Scribe and scholar to Lord Cailain.
May they be of some help to somebody else."
So what do you think?? Critics is welcomed, flames will be ignored or be cursed with a waterspell. _________________ "I am a proud Vampirate since I couldn't decide if I wanted to be a vampire or a pirate when I grew up. I solved that by being both."

Have decided to do a little introduction on persones we will meet in my story In Shadows.
First out is our dear diary writer from the Prolog.
Morgain: Is a character that I am not sure if he really is out of the story or not. Sure he is planing on ending it all as he told us all in the prolog but we never found out if he truly went through with it or not. So don't be suprised if he shows up in later chapters. Well he is or was Lord Cailain's Scribe and the headlibrarian of the royal library with an interest for their clans history. He used to have a sister but she like his parents is dead. His parents where part of the generation that fled from their original home. So you could say that he is part of the second generation of the forgotten elves.
Cailain: The Lord of the Silver Dragon Clan who like Morgain is part of the second generation. His many duty's and the situation his people are in makes it hard for him to spend time with the one person after his late wife that he loves more than life, his daughter who when the first chapter starts has just lost her best friend. He are unlike his father a whole lot more aware what are at stakes when it comes to find a way to protect the clan. He would sacrefice alot to save his people except for the one thing he might have to sacrefice.
Inara: Is the heir to the leadership of the Silver Dragon clan and has been since her mother died under heavy protection on orders from her father who feared he would loose her if he didn't wrap her up in cotton. When we meet her in the first chapter she is rather young and her fathers overprotectiveness has made sure she knows little of the world outside the palace. Her best friend and cousins death due to the taint changed that and also forced her father to open his eyes about some stuff.
Soon the first chapter will be done and be put up here.
*goes back to work on the first chapter.* _________________ "I am a proud Vampirate since I couldn't decide if I wanted to be a vampire or a pirate when I grew up. I solved that by being both."

Darn I am on a roll today. Here is the first chapter in the story In Shadows. I was done with it like 5 min. ago so it probably will have some grammatical wrongs and bad spelling. But I promise I will try and fix it this weekend and let this story get it's own thread.
Chapter 1: The Daughter
Inara stared down at the floor while she waited for her father to be done with his work and turn his attention towards her. She wondered why he had sent for her, she hadn't pulled any pranks for awhile and she hadn't missbehaved as far as she knew. The last prank she pulled was a month ago on her cousin. A gosth of a smile sweeped by on her face when she remembered the prank and her cousins reaction but then the smile disappeared when she rememberd that her cousin had been tainted with the demonic darkness just two weeks after that particular prank and lthat his child body and mind couldn't fight it and he had to be killed not long after that. Inara could still hear her aunt's screams in her head when it was clear that Cernin had to be killed in order to protect those who lived in the palace. She sighed sadly, she missed her cousin, he had been the only friend she had since he was the only one her father allowed her to play with.
Her father moved and suddenly stod infron of her. She looked up at his face to try and see what kind of mood he was in but his face didn't show anything of what he thought nor what his mood was. Once again she wondered why he sent for her since he rarely had time for her and often that was when she had missbehaved in some ways. Inara looked down at her feet waiting for her father to speak. He didn't say anything but put a finger under her chin and turned her face up and looked at her with a kind smile.
"You don't have to look so worried Little Fireflower. I have not sent for you because you did something wrong daughter." Her father said and released her. She meet his gaze and gathered her courage to ask why he had sent for her if it was for something she had done.
"Then why did you send for me father?" Inara manage to ask after a while.
Her father stared at her as if he tried to find out if she was strong enough to hear what he had to say.
"I have decided that it is time for you to start your schooling in what your duties are as my heir and what kind of duties you will have if anything happens to me and I can't be here for some reason." Her father answered softly.
Inara swallowed and looked at him.
"Like with Cernin?" She said with a small voice and tears started to form in her eyes.
"Yes My Fireflower, just like Cernin or something else happens that takes me away from this life." Her father said gently.
"No you can't leave. I wont let you." Inara cried out and threw her arms around her fathers waist and cried in to his robes.
The lord of the Silver Dragon clan looked down at his daughters head that was at the same height as his stomach and put one arm around her and put his other hand on her head and started to stroke her red hair comfortingly. She had always seemed so fragile, so much like her mother.
He had tried to protect her from everything that might have been able to hurt her but with the death of his sisters son he realized that his need to protect her from the world only would hurt her in the end if anything happened to him.
"I don't plan on leaving in anyway but the fates have ways to destroy ones plans and I want to make sure you will be ready if anything really happens to me." He told her calmly and keept up with the comforting strokes over her hair.
Inara sniffled a bit and released him from the death grip she had him in the she took a step back from him.
He gave her a comforting smile and dried her tears.
"Tomorrow your new schooling and training will start but the rest of today and this evening your old father is all yours and I promise that the advisors and the councilmembers have been told to leave us alone and not interupt our time together." He said and gave her a soft smile.
Inara started to smile back at him, the chance to spend some hours with her father without interuptions from his duties was not something that happened often so Inara would be a fool to say no to it.
"Will you tell me stories about mother?" She asked excitedly.
"Haven't you heard everything I know about your mother by now?" Her father asked with a laugh.
"I don't mind hearing them again." She said and grabbed his hand and started to drag him from the throneroom. Her father just chuckled and let her have her way.
Well that was the first draft of the first chapter. So what do you guys think? _________________ "I am a proud Vampirate since I couldn't decide if I wanted to be a vampire or a pirate when I grew up. I solved that by being both."
