    Interview by a vampire

    His biggest breakthrough was when he met vampires from the hidden Vampire Empire. They are wanting to, since Parthia, to have a country again, a visible country of their own. They need his help to do it and they will pay generously including if he sets up shop in their proposed country of Belo-Rada which will encompass some of the sacred lands of very ancient times. He is going to see them soon. He has been aware of them from an early time in his long life. And his ability to resist their powers that they can’t hurt him. Nor will they want to and they have much longer memories and even longer lives.

    He first noticed it when an intrusion into his mind kept bothering him. Not overwhelming, but persistent like a female mosquito buzzing near your ear. The “voice” was whispering at first like the voices said to be “heard” by schizophrenics and those disposed to it. Just on the edge of legibility. As time went on it got stronger till it interrupted his thoughts.

    It was then he returned the psychic call. The being is a vampire, one of the oldest of them who is like a roving ambassador who has found out he is awakened again. (Rather similar to many animals and indeed near supernatural vampire species will take time out to aestivate. Not exactly hibernation, but very close to it. The one contacting him might be male. It really doesn’t matter to them since that is not how they reproduce. (He wrote a treatise for the Selinite Society on it in his past. It was at the urging of one of his colleague of the time a professor Gottwor Bulwer, who studied all kinds of predators and predation both natural and supernatural, who was most persistent that he do so. This was 1800 in Wisborg.)

    He finally got a name of his contact, Ӝ Vilyehm Valka, vampire extraordinaire.

    Dear Amelia,

    Hi. I can’t tell you where I am. I’m okay. Wanted you to know that.

    Sorry to run out on you. I miss you lots. Thanks always for everything.

    I don’t know when I’ll ever see you again.

    I do know that we’re all at war now, and I’m part of it somehow. And it will last maybe forever, for as long as any one of us lives.

    And I know that the world we were born into is the only one we’ve got. Maybe there’s a better world to come some day, but it’s not this one that we live in.

    So we just do whatever it is we just do. I love you, Amelia.

    Annie

    What is that, Captain Santiago? Another memo from Defense? May I see that?

    Just a card from an old friend. Everything’s fine. Everything will be very fine. Always.

    Thanks again, David. Annie does seem more mature now, after sending that letter. Deep thoughts for a teenager. (I guess she’s a teenager…maybe 15?)
