The Scroll of Velastra

First Blood. Forbidden Truth.

---

Before she was the Queen of the Undead Recruitment Syndicate, she was simply Velastra — daughter of Seraphyne, the flame-bound shadow-witch, and Ambrion the Red, once Warlord of the Eastern Circles.

Her bloodline began in ancient Kemet — Egypt — not in the cold, pale halls of Europe. The original vampires, dark of skin and divine of form, birthed a legacy the Elders feared. A legacy they tried to erase.

The Betrayal

Seraphyne’s power was unmatched — half-sorceress, half-vampire — a union the Elders could not allow to flourish. So they set a trap: three women cursed into wolves, sent to torment her nightly. Her mind unraveled. Her death? Labeled suicide. But it was assassination by envy and design.

The Cowardice of Ambrion

Velastra's father knew. But shame silenced him. He vanished into luxury and nostalgia, bragging in brothels and crypt bars, while wearing false fangs and a memory he could never bear to retell. His daughter adored him. But the truth lives in shadows.

The Queen Rises

Velastra built her empire not from inheritance — but from ash and rage. Her charm, her command, her cursed beauty — all sharpened by the fire her mother died in. She turns only the loyal. She spares only the worthy. The Elders still fear her… and they should.

“You were never meant to survive, Velastra. But you did. And now we all must pay.”
