With each day passing by, August is significantly becoming stronger then the last. As vampires level up their vampire lore skill and gain knowledge they are capable to increase their vampire powers and abilities like never before. However, as he becomes stronger he is also losing his humanity and becoming weaker at the same time. Things are proving to be even more challenging for August as he can no longer eat human food as it makes him extremely nauseous. The sun's rays are more harmful then ever making spending time with his family almost nonexistent. On the positive side of things, August's studying and training with Vlad leveled him up to a prime vampire which is middle of the road but still an improvement nonetheless. All August could ever want is to just become human and live that normal sim life he has been yearning for, yet, I think Vlad has something else in mind...
Forgotten Hollow was a beautiful and inviting town where once upon a time vampires and humans did get along believe it or not. Now you might be thinking how things changed over time and how/when exactly this vampires vs. humans rivalry came into play, well, this is where things get interesting.
200 years ago: Forgotten Hollow was overseen by grand master vampires, Elizabeth Desjardins IV and Mathias Desjardins known by others as The Desjardins Royal Family. They were fantastic rulers who always put their people first and did everything they could to make sure they were safe. They were always respectful towards humans despite any differences they may have had and always welcomed them into town will open arms. They were beloved by many, but one. Vladislaus (Vlad) Straud was one of the many servants who worked under the Desjardins family but never took kindly to them or anyone for that matter. Vlad had plans to overthrow the royal family and take over Forgotten Hollow once and for all to gain maximum power and become the new grand master elite. However, he had to devise a resourceful plan he knew would succeed after the first attempt. Elizabeth and Mathias believed the bond between family is stronger than any sort of powers a vampire can have so naturally when they had their first child utmost bliss took over them and the town as they all welcomed the new addition into the world. The newborn's name was August Rune Desjardins (middle name "Rune" meaning secret, coincidence? Maybe) he was the first and only child of Elizabeth and Mathias nonetheless, their peace of mind would come to a halt...
There are two kinds of people in this world. Good people who do good deeds and bad people who do bad. When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend and for Vlad this was no different. He showed no remorse even for crimes he admitted to doing. His eyes, they were just evil, he had so much hatred and anger.
On that fateful night when Forgotten Hollow was under attack Vlad took on the role of the devil to unleash his inner demons. He disguised himself in his human form to fight alongside the vampire hunters, the ultimate deception, the ultimate betrayal, but he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.. Maximum power. As the vampires were taken down one by one Vlad knew it was his chance to get rid of August once and for all. Vlad had tried many attempts to kill off August to take him out of the picture but all have failed. Elizabeth and Mathias knew it was time to flee Forgotten Hollow, they knew that there beloved town was no longer a safe place to live and prosper so they traveled far far away to get away from such danger that was caused and most of all keep August out of harms way. Back at Forgotten Hollow, Vlad ordered one of his evil henchmen to stealthily follow the family to fathom their whereabouts, notwithstanding, Elizabeth and Mathias traveled quite far when they both came to an agreement to leave August behind. They were heartbroken by the thought but knew the only way to keep him safe was to leave him behind, they knew if he would've stayed things would only get worse and they didn't want to risk his life again. They provided protection in hopes he would be found and given a loving home, Elizabeth said one last prayer before letting go. "Holy Spirit, save my child from darkness and despair." They left in agony never to be seen again.
Years later the day after his 16th birthday Vlad would soon come back into August's life again. Confused by how Vlad got ahold of his number and how he knew who he was he asked him and awaited his reply. "It's a complicated world. People have a hard time finding each other and when they do... they're scared to take the risk." Vlad said. August didn't know what to say he was still taken back. "Isn't it ironic, how we tell others to stay strong, yet we can't do it ourselves?" What do you mean? August asked. "When was the last time anyone ever told you how important you are?" Are you trying to mess with my head right now? What's your deal anyway and why are you calling me? August asked. "My name is Vladislaus Straud, grand master vampire, I know everything and every vampire to ever exist in this world I've known you for the past 200 years but I can tell you have no recollection of me however." What do you plan on doing? Doing with your existence here? "I'll let fate decide." August said. "Fate is for those too weak to determine their own destiny." Do you want to be safe and good, or do you want to take a chance and be great? "The choice is yours..." -Vlad
