- Nikadema Nienna Númenessë ~ Growing up in her village, she was always the one to wander farther than the borders, longing to find a new life. Tired of the mold her family had tried so hard to force her into - she wandered... It was on one of her great walks that she encountered and elf who glowed a deep red, his eyes shining brighter than any star she had ever seen. Immediately she was drawn to him and with every step she took, she could feel his heat pulsating through her. She whispered to him, "who are you?" and as he gazed into her eyes he spoke to her without saying a word. "You know me Nikadema Nienna Númenessë." She gasped at how he knew her name. He moved so eloquently toward her, like a beautiful dance. She grew weaker the closer he came and was helpless as he reached out to her. "Come with me... take my hand and I will set you free." Again the words hit her ears without opening his mouth. She was still and could feel his touch at her side. "I shouldn't." she could barely muster the breath to speak. His face was so close to hers now that she could smell his sweet hair. Her eyes rolled as she became intoxicated by him. Almost fainting, her knees buckled, and he embraced her with his strong arms. " I will show you what it is to be hard and strong, and give you the life you have been looking for." Unable to move, Nikadema's head lay against his chest. He moved almost in slow motion, as he revealed his sharp fangs... In that moment her life changed forever. When she awoke, he was gone, and the world looked so different. She became so thirsty, but not for the spring water to her side... but for the blood of the animals of the forest..
