"Vampires. The natural predator of humanity. Enemy to mankind."
"Or....at least they were."
"It has been decades since humans and vampires have come together to coexist with one another. We make up for each other's weaknesses. Vampires being the vastly superior species in terms of physicality and humans were the mentally superior, gifted in magic and technology."
"Yet, it wasn't apathy or too much bloodshed that brought the peace around. Neither race could get enough of that it seemed...."
"No, it was a common enemy."
"Disgusting amalgamations of nightmare. Massive, twisted creatures that have been terrorizing the world for the better part of 40 years now. They come without warning, destroy and kill everything, then disappear as quickly as they came. There is no real name but we have taken to calling them The Rot or Rotten."
"Combining the power of vampires and humans was the only way these colossal beasts can be brought down. Academies have cropped up in every major country in the world to train young adults, vampire and human alike, to combat those decaying monsters."
"They have us pair off. One vampire and one human are considered one unit. Turns out we work well with each other. Far better than anticipated."
"We are equal parts student and soldiers. We are the first and last line of defense against The Rot. That's what they tell you and they aren't lying. But they don't tell you how bad it is..."
"They always preach about the nobility and honor of your actions. The passion and glory that taking down one of these Rotten brings. They dont talk about the death toll and with good reason. If they did, no one would join."
"When a Rotten shows up, you better pray you have some senior level officers around. Otherwise, you will be slaughtered. I can't tell you how many times I've seen my friends die. My fellow classmates and soldiers. My....I....I've lost two partners to this scourge already. They were so young and beautiful...."
"The Blood Link. The vampiric partner drinks blood from the human and replaces it with some of their own. As a result, you share abilities. Humans gain some of the physical traits from the vampire and the vampire can use some of the magical power from the human. But the most important thing is The Link itself. You...it's like you becone one consciousness. One unit. One being. You feel everything they feel. Everything they think. The more the two trust each other, the more powerful the bond."
"You feel everything...."
"Including when they die."
"There's no...God.....nothing that can describe what....and then they just EXPECT you to move on! To find another partner and get back out there."
....
"And you have to. You're a soldier. You take a look around and see others holding the mangled bodies of their partners in the same despair as you. But every single one of you has got to push on."
"If we don't, who will? After all...."
"We are the first and last line of defense."
"We are the Vanguard."
