Dark Offspring 1 by An old sage
Of all the tales of the offspring of vampires (dampires) the tale of two siblings is the strangest.
About fifty years ago there lived a vampire hermit in the depths of the Yew Forest. For the most part he was ignored since he stayed away from people as much as possible and seemed unusually peaceful for such a horrid monster. Unfortunately when a grieveous fire broke out destroying much of the city and forrest, he was blamed. The enraged townsmen drug the hapless vampire into the city where they burned him at the stake. The Militia was called out to investigate the vampire's home for evidence. Instead of the evidence they sought for they found to young babes: a boy and a girl. The Militia searched for a family for the two young children to no avail. Finally, they were forced to put them in an orfanage. There the children remained for three years. Eventually the children were adopted, but into two different families.
The girl was named Ilyana Tarnor. She was adopted by a rich lord who owned a shipping company. As she grew up she proved herself to be a headstrong young girl, often quarreling with the other children and her adopted parents. Finally at age 14 she ran away. She knew that she didnt belong with that family so she sought out her origins in the town of Yew. Recordes from the Militia mentioned herself and her brother. When she learned that she had a brother she set out to fing him in hopes that she could find her place in the world.

Then came the inevitable day came when Sigurd and Ilyana met...

Sigurd tried to persuade his sister to settly down and live like him. She, however, was very disappointed in her brother and even a little disgusted. After having been been together for only a month, Ilyana left and became a hunter, gathering and killing whatever she needed. As time wore on she realized that she had finally would her home, in nature. She felt as though she had a special kinship with the natural world.
