The Change

Tomas was born in the months of waning winter in a city of Aquileia, Venetian Republic - Byzantine occupied. It hadn't snowed for weeks and many were hoping for the arrival of spring now.

"The lady has given birth you a boy, Lord." A servant in a grey long tunic spoke. The maid had just left the birthing room and found the lord waiting for news right outside.

The lord was tall and broad-shouldered, with a figure that speaks to both strength and aristocratic grace. His worry and concern for his second child's birth had made his face seem more darker than it actually was. Hearing the maid he was jolted out of his worry causing his thick wavy auburn hair swing into his amber eyes. 

"A reward of three coppers. How is the Lady?" Lord Aemilius asked.

Lord Aemilius rush past the maid, not waiting for her reply, the room was lit brightly. The Lady Theodora, always loved brighten spaces and made the effort to keep all living space have ample light.

The lady was lying on her bed having just given birth her fair skin had lost is porcelain like glow, yet her dark-brown eyes still retained a strong vitality. Seeing the Lord Aemilius enter the room, she straightened her posture and waved away the servants. 

"Lord, we have a son." She spoke. Her voice gentle and soothing. " Come look he has your bright amber eyes." She move the babe in her arms to face Lord Aemilius. 

"Yes. Yes. And he has your burgundy veins. A true heir to the Ash Von-Kade bloodline." Lord Aemilius said taking the young babe into his arms. 

The Lady Theodora watched as the father and son's first meeting, she knew who much the bloodline needed a male heir. She watch Lord Aemilius take the babe, towards the balcony to see the morning sun just break past the horizon painting the mountainside in its gold and the coast amber. She got up to join the father and son pair, she herself enjoyed watching the sunrise.

Just as she got close the babe seem to jolt and suddenly the his eyes grew brighter, the his dark auburn hair became even darker and his burgundy veins further expanded. Lord Aemilius still holding him grew nervous but his face showed no change. While Lady Theodora welled up with tearing threatening to break from her eyes.

"A ture Ash Von-Kade. Just like his sister." Lord Aemilius said. 

"Will this affect our standing in council?" Lady Theodora asked with concern. 

"What council?!" The Lord scoffed."They know nothing outside of fighting for control over the port." 

The incident with the babe was not a new event, when they had their first child, Isabella, three years ago she too displayed this phenomena. But this something unique happened, a spider spirit appeared from within the babe's hair, the size on a fingernail. It crawled all over his face causing the baby to giggle softly. 

"This- This is insane!! How can the bloodline manifested for strongly?" The Lord Aemilius exclaimed. This time he could not keep his control. Turning to see if Lady Theodora had any idea. She too was equally shocked.

"Does this mean the Veil is weakening and..." The Lady hesitated to speak but still continued. "The curse may be lifted earlier than we thought." 

The Lord could hear the excitement bubbling within her question but chose to ignore it. 

"Regardless, with this reaction we need to clean the household to better accommodate our needs, My Lady." He said. Now that the Ash Von-Kade Bloodline and manifested in such a manner regular mortals could not be kept as servants any longer. 

"Worry not. Ambrosius has been were bored recently. I will have him take the position of Butler for the household." Lady Theodora said. 

"Yes, he will probably clean the household without us even asking to. Lets, follow your arrangements My Lady." The Lord said.

"We can start the tutelage of both the children then." Lady Theodora stated.

Having calm down from the excitement brought about by the spider spirit's appearance, the Lord and Lady began to prepare the changes that were required. Within the few months many servants and staff of the noble Ash Von-Kade were either laid off or disappeared mysteriously. 

While the port of Aquileia, welcomed new proprietors. For those who kept watch on the city political landscape would surely have noticed the noble house of Von-Kade take on a more discreet position. 

The babe, now named Aurelius, was couple months old and his little spider friend was still the same size. Normally, he would be in the care of a nanny but with his special condition he was under the care of Butler Ambrosius. Soon the rhythm of the noble house was set and time passed from the wanning winter to earlier vistages of spring. The mountainside and coast liven with the breath spring flowers and sweet dew of romance. The noble house hide all their actions not attracting the attention of the city and other remaining houses. 

The Aurelius of now was no different from a new born child. The Tomas of the past had yet to awaken within the mind of the child but the promises of the Entity came into fruition as it had said.

The spirit spider was one such promise, had the supernatural royal bloodline was another.

Tomas: That is a lot to take in, but now that I have a way to train my mind I that until I can move around while also making sure to improve my understanding of Wind M, Hemokinesis, Hypnosis, and corrosion abilities.

While Tomas was getting used to his abilities his family was getting ready for a hunt as it was time for dinner and at midnight it would get too dark for any human to see for this Demonic vampire family would have a feast almost every time on a no moon night. Even though they are demons they are still part vampires; because of that, they need blood.

Tomas had one older sister Ivy Ash Von-Kade who had the abilities of weather control, generic Demonic vampire powers, and had the element of thunder. His father Erik Ash Von-Kade had made a big move from Verona to a Viking settlement in the Americas and when they were on a ship they had to practically starve as they couldn't feed on the ship, so when it came time for the no moon day they were impatient to eat. However, now they had a child who was just a couple months old which also would need to eat; back when they had Ivy they used a coven of witches that he had found to siphon their power and use it as a food for Ivy this also helped him improve his control over fire as the witches had a thing for flames and heat. Now though he will need a lot of human blood or supernatural beings to help Tomas grow. Evelyn Ash Von-Kade, Tomas' mother, gathered her power of water to look for the humans that were still out and about in the middle of the night when she noticed something that wasn't human but supernatural.

Evelyn: Erik come quick I found something interesting, which will help Tomas in growing up.

Ivy: Mother, why are you yelling I could hear from three huts away.

Erik: What, I was about to leave what is it?

Evelyn: There is a supernatural creature near this settlement we can use this to power Tomas as well as other children we plan to have later on in the winter.

Ivy: What do you mean 'power' Tomas up, mother?

Evelyn: Dear, as you may know, we are not human but creatures called Demonic Vampires because of this we have certain restrictions on being able to grow up. Just like when you were young we used a witch coven's magic to make you grow up until you were strong enough to use your powers or have gained an element.

Ivy: So, you are telling me that if Tomas gets these supernatural creatures then he will also be 10 years old just like me!

Erik: No, sweety he will just get stronger powers and be able to understand what those around him say at an earlier age just like how you did at the age of 2.

Ivy: Ohh. How nice.

Evelyn: Going back to the task at hand I think we should start tracking the creature before it notices us and runs away.

Erik: Yes, Yes, we should get going. Listen Ivy take care of your brother for us we will be right back with food.

Ivy: Yes Father, I will do my best.

With those words said both Evelyn and Erik evaporated away out of the house and went the way they notice a supernatural.

Even though Tomas was not a human baby he was still sleeping the cause being that he was not fed anything the entire day as his family was preoccupied. Just waking up he notices a young girl about as tall as his mother's waist coming closer, that is when he noticed that her eyes were the color of ice which gave of a feeling as if she always kept others at a distance. Then she leaned into his crib as her long light brown hair fell onto his face and made his eyes sting like crazy causing Tomas to cry which in turn startled the girl resulting in purple sparks flying around the hut before hitting a jet black vase at the corner of the house. Right as the spark hit the vase shattered with its pieces flying in all directions. Some of them flew right for the girl's face while a few went towards Tomas who just stop crying. The girl noticed the broken pieces coming her way and vanished from her spot and reappeared on the other side of the crib. That's when notice a small clay piece just about to pierce Tomas' face when it crumbled into dust and fell onto the crib base.

Ivy was completely shocked at the outcome and was going to pick Tomas up when suddenly she fell into her bed just behind where she was standing. The second her body hit the floor she fell asleep.
