Chapter 33: Path of a True Vampire
When Reagan Cooper heard him ask that, he smiled with glee.
"Good question, kid." He spoke. His mood lifted at that moment.
That his students are curious and want to know about the true path of being a vampire is something he likes. Therefore, this time, he was in a good mood.
"I'll answer you after I tell you a little story that I'm sure you already know. Come with me." He said and walked to the window next to Matt, opening it.
"Stare at the sky. These are hours when the sun, a very famous star from the past, should be burning up there, preventing us from leaving freely. Have you read about that story?" he asked, smiling, and Matt nodded.
'I have not only read it. Literally, I have also lived my whole life with a sun above me, giving us life. To this day, I'm still amazed that this world doesn't have a sun, but it has life. This goes against everything I knew about the world.' It was Matt's thought then, but he clearly didn't say it.
Professor Reagan smiled.
"That story comes associated with an existence; right now, it is as well-known as the day it lived. That existence, naturally, is a vampire. The only one who dared to stand up in front of an entire race and challenge the sun. Only a Clan of Legends and an existence of Legends like that could have put an end to a star as great, as was the sun we once had."
"That existence is what we now know as a Progenitor Vampire. Our most praised ancestor, the Progenitor Vampire of Dietrich, a unique and invaluable existence for our race, was the one who marked a before and after in our history; it was said that he could even travel to other worlds. Over the years, his story has been forgotten, but for us who walk the Path of a True Vampire, we will never forget it." He said and shifted his gaze from the sky to Matt's face.
"Boy, the Path of a True Vampire is the same path that our ancestor, Dietrich's Vampire Progenitor, walked. Actually, the rank of Progenitor Vampire is not bestowed upon him because he was the first of our race to exist but rather because his power reached an incalculable height. He was so powerful that the Universe itself recognized him as a Progenitor of our race. I, my Clan, the Heirs, and the Vampire Clans intend to walk the path of a Vampire Progenitor and dream of one day becoming one. That is the path and also our goal."
His words were full of fanaticism, but they rang very true. And he, as a historian, was naturally not lying.
"Professor, I have another question." He said, and Reagan Cooper looked at him.
"You can ask anything, and I'll answer." He replied, and Matt nodded.
"What made that Dietrich Clan of the past special? Did they have some distinction to make them such a powerful Clan, or was it simply their bloodline?" Matt asked, causing Reagan to be a little surprised by his question.
"...That's an interesting question but hard to answer." He said and turned away to flip through several nearby books from side to side.
He spent a full hour going through them until he opened his mouth.
"No one really knows what made special to them; how did they destroy the sun? Such a great feat could not be done just because they wanted to; it took many years of preparation, possibly. Naturally, their very pure bloodline was important, but I don't think that's all. I have been researching for many years, and so far, I can give you an answer and two clues."
"The answer is about your question, and the clues are places where you can find more information about it." He said and looked at him.
"Do you want to know them?" he asked.
Matt, naturally, nodded.
Reagan then smiled.
"The answer I can give you is based on my guess after browsing long and hard in one of the most important libraries in this world. According to my theory, the Dietrich Clan had one thing that distinguished it from the rest of the Vampires: an enhanced Vampirism." He answered firmly and without a trace of hesitation in his voice.
