¢σмє נσιη тнє мυя∂єя

i was married, actually. but suddenly she passed. almost a year ago now. it was leukemia. she fought it and i nursed her, but in the end… i do get quite lonely, the tyranny of the empty room. and all that. but, music is my salvation, teaching and playing. not really as a career, but i’m not very ambitious. is that a sin? i don’t know.

One of the most well-known supernatural creatures in the world are vampires. They go by many names; they are known as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. Whatever name is used, vampires are all over the world, living in the same places as you and me. Curious cases: (X) (X) (X)

“When first coven of night witches came to exist, they needed loyal servants, strong ones and beautiful ones that would be with them through all of eternity. So the witches turned dark, asked the devil to send them creatures of the night. Demons, who will serve their purpose. But as the force of evil was never the most reliable one, creatures which were send upon Earth came with many flaws. Such was the inability to walk in the sunlight, step on the Holy ground, and lust…lust for human blood.” (x)

A vampire is a mythical being who subsists by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures. In folkloric tales, undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today’s gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 1800s. In modern times, however, the vampire is generally held to be a fictitious entity, although belief in similar vampiric creatures such as the chupacabra still persists in some cultures.
