Human Servant: Candra's Markings

In my novel, "Birthright" Candra is chosen by Kane to become his human servant. In becoming one, she become the ears, eyes,hands and voice of their master vampire. Candra finding out why she feels such a connection to Kane, abhors the idea, but yet, finds it exciting, and at times sensual.

There are four markings and with each one, the connection between the vampire and his human become stronger.

First Mark - The vampire shares his/her life-force with a human. There are no visible signs of this being done, and can be unnoticed by the human in question. The human may also feel like they have 'fallen' into the vampires eyes. Though this mark is generally done in person, it is not necessary for the vampire to be physically present.



Second Mark - The human sees two spots of flame the shade of the vampire's eyes coming towards them, until they over lap their eyes. The human sees the world in the shade of the flames for a moment. In that moment, anyone looking at the person's eyes will see them glow the flame's shade. Though this mark is generally done in person, it is not necessary for the vampire to be physically present.


Third Mark - The vampire ceremonially takes blood from the human and shares their memories with the human and vice versa. It is believed that it is necessary for the vampire to be physically present for this mark to be bestowed.

Fourth Mark - The human drinks some of the vampire master's blood, while the vampire says something like -
' Blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh, two minds with but one body, two souls wedded as one.'
Each vampire may have a slightly different version of the ritual words but the overall meaning is the same - the two are as one. It is believed that it is necessary for the vampire to be physically present for this mark to be bestowed.

But, something goes wrong with these markings, Candra doesn't react to them as she is suppose too. What I won't say, for you must buy my book to find out just what is happening and why?

Countess Elizabeth Bathory

In my research I came across Countess Elizabeth Bathory and found this person to be truly a horrific person. Deemed a Vampire in the sense that she drank and bathed in the blood of her victims, but she herself was not a "true" vampire in that she didn't have fangs and couldn't go out in the sunlight, etc. Elizabeth became pregnant as the result of a brief affair with a peasant man in 1574. When her condition became evident, she was sequestereduntil the baby's birth, due to her engagement to Count Ferenc Nadasdy. They were married in May of 1575. Since Nadasdy was a soldier, he was frequently away for long periods of time. This left Bathory with the duties of managing the affairs of the Nadasdy family estate, Castle Sarvar. It was here that Elizabeth's career of evil truly began, with the disciplining of the large household staff, especially the young girls. It was after her husbands death that she started in with her atrocities. One of her servants pulled...

The Stone and Modern Science (Continuation of the Philosopher's Stone)

Though the notion of a simple philosopher's stone of the alchemic sense fell out of scientific conception by at least the 19th century, its metaphors and imagery persisted: man's attempt to discover the essential secret of the universe, redemptively transforming not just lead into gold, but death into life. In 1901, Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy discovered that radioactivity was a sign of fundamental changes within elements, and it was Soddy who quickly made the connection between this and the ancient search for the philosopher's stone (Soddy had studied alchemy extensively as a hobby). At the moment of realization that their radioactive thorium was converting itself into radium, bit by bit, Soddy later recalled that he shouted out: "Rutherford, this is transmutation!" Rutherford snapped back, "For Christ's sake, Soddy, don't call it transmutation. They'll have our heads off as alchemists." However the term stuck, in part because it...
