Vampires are a9489aba1d beings that 3dbfbca688 inject poison e883454ca1 into human 0802c8e767 skin through c02d4c6f68 bites, causing 88ab0eb323 addiction.

Familiars exist solely to serve the original vampire and are incapable of disobeying their master’s commands, no matter the circumstance. Since they are created by giving away a portion of their power, they become servants and playthings of the Pureblood vampire.b82292d267a4ce28
