“Magic is the source of everything,” a woman’s soft voice spoke, as she laid there in a plush bed, with her young son laying next to her. She was reading him a bedtime story, for she knew he had trouble sleeping. Well, that partially had been her fault, for she was the one to marry a vampire lord, and be the mother to his halfling child.
The child’s human side had magic deeply rooted in his veins, for his mother was a high witch, powerful enough to fell a hundred armies. Her magic that was now also his, she had to earn- he had just been born with it. In truth, she had been a bit jealous, how magic had so easily been apart of his life.
But nevertheless, she saw him as an opportunity- to gain more power for herself, using her own son for her own ambitions. And of course she did love him, in her own way. But eventually, she came to her husband and mentioned she wanted to put their son in her magical school, for young witches and warlocks alike- saying that it was an opportunity to ‘grow his power’. Yet she didn’t see the repercussions it might have.
And so, her husband had agreed, and starting that next morning their young son would be going to a new school, where his magical powers would develop. But, how would his vampire side fair? One would only know when he began to show more signs of it.

It had first been an accident, her son’s bloodlust hadn’t been culled properly, and he had began to feed on her students. But because of that, his own magical prowess began to increase, so Marianna figured they could use this to their own advantage- only to take the failing students to feed her son- to not only satiate his bloodlust, but to fuel his own magic power as well.
And for a time, this worked, her ratings amongst the magical schools were at an all time high, and she had even began to teach another student, Kai- a prodigy in Mariana’s eyes.
Kai was a woman who was just shy of 20 years old, who came from a poor background when she was only 15. Her father hadn’t hesitated to sell her off to headmistress. And the headmistress had been ‘kind’ enough to teach her magic, to which Kai had begun to learn- at first with much difficulty, but now, she was becoming a natural at it.
But Kai knew that she was being held back from certain power, one that her headmistress had warned about, that too much power could corrupt her very soul. But something wasn’t right to Kai, and yet.. she didn’t question too much.
Until she discovered that her headmistress’s son, was feeding on some of the students. She had found him out about two years into her schooling here, and she knew there had been something off about him, but never knew what.
She had yet stumbled into him feeding on a poor soul, in the dark corners of a library, lit by dim candlelight.
She sighed, and moved the woman away from his mouth, and the woman soon slumped in her arms. “Dammit,” she cursed, shaking her head, “That’s the third one today,” she scolded him, her eyes meeting his. “Won’t your mother be upset that’s she’s losing more students?” She asked, but knew that this school had thousands of students- a few wouldn’t be missed.
