weren't inherently evil, so when Camazotz infected the
humans, it was the combination of his blood and the light within
the human soul that manifested into the ability of drifting.
Balam continued to explain that after some time,
the vampires that Camazotz was creating started having a bad
reaction to the change.
Balam's theory was that Camazotz, in his effort
to complete his father's mission, remained in the human realm for
too long. Being out of his natural environment for such an extended
period of time had caused his blood to become contaminated.
Camazotz's contaminated blood had infected the
new vampires, and right from the start they had drifted straight to
dark. Soon after, they became violent and turned on their clan.
Once the fighting began, it became obvious that
the dark vampires were passing their infection to the others.
Because when a light vampire was bit, they too, drifted dark.
Soon the dark vampires started to outnumber the
light ones, and the originals feared that they were going to be
overrun.
Camazotz then called upon his father to come aid
him in what could only be described as a civil war amongst
vampires. Yum Camil came to his son's aid and found that the only
way to kill the darkened vampires was for him to bite them again,
infecting them with a poison that only he, the ruler of Xibalba,
possessed. Upon realizing this, Yum Camil chose a few light
vampires, and through his Mayan magic, blessed each of them with
the ability to reproduce his poison. These vampires became the
first Sires who possessed the poison of true death.
After sending Camazotz back to Xibalba, Yum
Camil and the newly created Sires fought to destroy all the
darkened vampires. Once the dark ones were eliminated, Yum Camil
conducted the first "Passing of Powers" ritual.
In order to bestow the Sires with the sedative
of eternal life that was needed to create new vampires, he had to
link minds with them. Linking minds with Yum Camil is what led the
Sires to have the ability to scan. During this initial rite he also
bestowed a time-limit on how long the Sires could hold their
powers. This was to prevent a Sire's blood from becoming
contaminated like Camazotz's had. He then taught the Sires how to
perform the "Passing of Powers" ritual, and then decreed that the
Sires divide the remaining light ones into clans and separate to
the four corners of the world.
I thought this was where the lesson would stop,
but Balam continued to explain the one key point that was relevant
to my current situation.
He explained that once the Sires had separated,
before returning to Xibalba, Yum Camil continued to infect humans
with his own blood. Since he wasn't a blood-feeder by nature
like his son the Bat God, the humans weren't transformed into
vampires. Instead, they remained human, but had demon blood flowing
through their veins. It was this line of humans that had continued
to exist throughout time, hiding their demon heritage from the
world.
This was the only way that Yum Camil could
guarantee that his bloodline would continue, since the humans his
son had bitten ended up as a new species entirely. That had been an
unforeseen twist to his plan. Balam had explained that Yum Camil
hadn't meant for the humans he infected to be a threat to anyone,
but that like any dying God, only wanted to meet his end knowing
that some part of his race would live on. Obviously he had not
taken into account how the two species, his demons and his son's
vampires would interact. Who would have ever guessed that they
would be like poison to one another?
Apparently the woman Terrance bit six months ago
was one of the demon descendants of Yum Camil. Her demon blood had
infected him and was the reason behind his fuzzy thoughts and his
now permanent darkness.
It was more important than ever to find out just
who this woman was. And since the infection prevented me or
Terrance from accessing any further information about her, I had no
idea how we were going to do
