It all began in the year 1462 in a dark forest, where twin brothers found themselves fighting a hoard of wolves and a swarm of bats, swinging there swords they slowly struck down the wolves and bats one by one but William, was caught blind sighted by a wolf as it pounced it buried its fangs deep within his flesh tearing away muscle, William soon found himself crying with his pain echoing throughout the forest, as more wolves began to gnaw and peel his flesh away, his cries for increasingly getting louder, Marcus his brother dashed over swinging and slicing through the fur and muscle of the wolves, he knelt before his brother’s broken body “b-b-behind you” William cried out whilst choking on his own blood, Marcus realized he had forgotten about the bats as they quickly swarmed him, they quickly began gnawing at his flesh, but Marcus quickly found himself overwhelmed, both brothers lay beside each other both nearing death, until they both realized there wounds where healing, they both stood to there feet in amazement they both released a sigh of happiness and joy, but there joy and luck soon ran out as Marcus’s hair began to fall out and his eyes turning black as if they were the doorway to the abyss itself, his skin turning grey and his veins purple, he fell to his knees and hunched over as large bat like wings protrude from his back, he had become a hybrid of man and bat, William falling backwards in fear stared into his brothers eyes as he watched as his brothers teeth become unnaturally sharp, but William felt an instinctual animal like urge pulse through his body, his bones began to reform themselves causing him such intense pain he could only let out a silent scream, white hair began to infest his body, Marcus looked over towards his brother to find him resembling an eight foot hybrid of man and wolf, both brothers new they could not return to there home, there father, so as William using his new found body began to agilely take off through the densely populated forest moving like the wolf he has become, Marcus set off in a different direction his leathery bat wings slicing through the air, with each flap of his newly acquired wings an leathery thunder can be heard echoing through the night, until the light of the sun pieces through the horizon, striking Marcus, knocking him out of the sky and throwing him to the ground, he crawled to the shadows, body smoking and burning from the light of the dawn sun, he soon found himself in the shadow of the forest again, his body rapidly began to heal itself and his hybrid form begins to revert into his human form, he returned home dodging the sun by jumping from shadow to shadow, the twins father, Alexander, went to look for his sons, but as he left their home he found his son lurking within the shadows of the dense forest, he approach his tired son holding him in his arms. Three hours pass and Marcus explains to his farther, “you did die last night but the animals must have triggered our mutation” Alexander shamefully declares
“what mutation” Marcus aggressively replies,
“I am immortal, and that your newfound ability of inhuman strength, speed, rapid regeneration and your new form must have been caused by a mixture of the activation of the mutation and the animal that killed you, and same goes for your brother, William where is he anyway?” Alexander explains with a tone of curiosity, Marcus quickly explains that they went of in sperate directions, they both make haste to find William, as dusk quickly approaches they find a village completely destroyed, with pools of fresh blood, limbs and half eaten bodies scattered around the village, they soon find a sleeping William laying upon a mound of torn apart bodies, but unlike Marcus, William did not turn back to his human form, as the sun sets Marcus and William notice that the half-eaten bodies began to twitch and transform into creatures like William, they soon surrounded the both of them, Marcus quickly transforming into his new form, he prepared to fight, suddenly a thunderous roar can be heard, the creatures created by William backed away whimpering, Marcus and Alexander quickly turned to find William now a monster towering over the pair of them growling and snarling, with the smell of blood and guts protruding from his mouth, Marcus places his hand upon his brothers chest “William, it’s me your brother” he fearfully announces, William begins to calm, looking at his father and brother, William lets out a small whimper as if he acknowledges that he had now became a monster, he sharply turns and flees on all fours creating great distances with each step to only be followed by the creature he has created. Marcus and Alexander return home to find out that during their journey to find William, William had attacked four more villages creating an army of wolf like creatures, knowing this new found information, Marcus filled with shame decided to do the same, and vowed to keep Williams creations at bay, he transforms and flies of into the distance, Alexander shocked by this decided to name William a Lycan, and Marcus a Vampire.
