I float up out of bed. I see my wife, WinterFae sleeping peacefully. I am standing in my Lucid City apartment. I turn to the mirror. I am a Vampyre with extremely pale lavender skin, and blue-grey eyes wearing an 1800's suit with a waistcoat.
WinterFae wakes up and morphs into a tiny pink Fairie. "Why are you a Vampyre?" she asks.
"I like being a Vampyre," I grin at my reflection, and view my fangs.
I walk to my computer terminal. "Energize."
Big Joey appears, my AI.
"Hey, big guy, what's going on? You a Vampyre, now?"
"Yes."
"You going to play a bunch of different characters, or somethin'?"
"Hm," I muse, "Yes."
"Who's this guy?"
"You may call me Soulkyst."
"Cute."
I turn to the mirror, and pull a hairbrush off a shelf and brush my long straight white hair.
"Big Joey, I'd like to try different classes."
"Ok, Big Guy."
"Black Mage."
My clothes shift to a black robe and cowl.
"Black Mages magic is mainly dark energy and elemental based."
"Okay, stop right there, I am a Dark Energy Vampyre. I choose Black Mage. But, rid me of this silly robe."
"Right."
My clothes revert to the original gentlemen's clothes. I see I have rings with blue, red, brown, grey, and black gems on each finger for water, fire, earth, air, and dark energy magic.
"So, Mr. Soulkyst, how do you like the rings instead of the black robe?"
"Perfect," I grin.
"Now, here are the weapons of the Black Mage."
On a counter near me materialize a wicked looking hardwood staff with dull spikes at the top, and a evil looking dagger with a black blade. I pick up the staff, and then it shakes furiously and morphs into a snake. I drop it, startled. It begins to slither away. I pounce on it and retrieve it. The snake turns to me, and grins, then morphs back into a staff.
"A Snakestaff!" I exclaim.
"And if someone tries to take it from you, it will morph into a poisonous snake and kill them."
"Perfect," I grin. The staff head morphs into a snake for a second and winks at me.
I pick up the dagger. I hear it whisper to me. I put the blade to my ear.
"Blood. I love blood. I lust blood. Vampyre blood. Give it to me, my master. My I have yours? Just a sip, or a long drink. Vampyre blood is best." A hissing laugh emits from the blade. I see a black gem in the hilt. There is something that looks like a tiny red-eyed gargoyle inside the gem grinning at me. "Blood!"
"Oh, you shall have your fill, for I despise almost all Vampyres, and they hate me, little dagger."
"Blood!"
I decide to name the blade Bloodhunger and sheath it in a hidden scabbard on my waist.
I turn to my AI.
"So, what would you like to do?"
"Kill Vampyres, the despicable cannibals."
"How are they cannibals?"
"Eating Humans."
"How is that cannibalism?"
"We are the same race, they are our ancestors."
"Hmm, interesting. So, you'd like to become an Assassin, I take it?"
"Yes."
Well, first you're going to have to practice some elemental magic.
I stomp on the floor, and cause a wave or earth energy to flow at my AI as chunks of the floor break and crack. I then make a small fireball in my left hand, and blow it at him. It splits into five fireballs. I spin the fireballs all around him before they dissipate. I make ice knives appear in my hands and throw them at Big Joey.
Then, I pull dark energy into my body, and launch a dark energy missile at Big Joey. Then I remove my staff from my back, and slam it on the floor. It becomes charged with lightning, then I blast the lightning at him, blowing a hole in the wall behind him.
"Good practice sesh. Okay, let me pull up the Assassin Quest..."
