“I was twelve when my world had been taken away—stolen by Vondorian and his twisted morals. As a prisoner of the vampires I gazed out of the tower cell into the darkening night. Black hills of deep green stretched on for miles disappearing into an ominous shadowed forest, mountains formed on every border enclosing the vampire cities. Here, blanketed in eternal twilight is where they lived, deep in the Underworld Realms. Even in all my sorrow and despair I stood silent, awed by the magical terrain. I had never seen a land more stunning—a wonder trapped in the depravity of darkness. A twilighted beauty I grew to love.”

Welcome Travelers
Dive into the fantasy world of Tentusa and the Seven Provinces. Where epic battles are a daily occurrence, and demons, vampires and other nightmarish things lurk in the shadows. Don’t worry, the Opsona will protect you and the mortal plane.
The Opsona
A race created by one of the seven righteous gods, made without darkness or “un-tainted”. Their purpose is to protect the plane of mortals and keep tainted souls (demons, vampires, devils, ect.) in the Underworld planes, while serving their god and goddess. The world often appears black and white to them, fierce nomadic warriors that will do anything to complete the task put before them. There are no saints among the Opsona.
The Opsona are broken into two factions. The brutal and cruel Silade, these Opsona follow the word of the God of Justice to death and beyond. They see the world in only black and white and have no objections in killing anyone that goes against their beliefs. A contrast to the more understanding and cunning Dexnu Discipline. These Opsona expand their minds and see some shades of gray, but don’t let that fool you. These Opsona are as deadly as their counterparts.
Opsona have unnaturally long life spans, but their warrior nature means they live short lives. They will not hesitate to die for their cause, but the God of Justice granted them one advantage against death. Each Opsona, who remains pure (untainted by darkness), will reincarnate and in a ritual to the Twin Goddesses (Peace & Chaos) they regain their memories from past lives. This makes them the ideal weapons against all things unholy. The creatures of the Underworld Realms have found a way of killing Opsona permanently, by mixing their blood with theirs right before death.
My Vampires
Everyone vampire is dedicated to the Vampire Nation, a place locked in twilight and under the rule of Four Lords, with Lord Mathus as the supreme Overlord. Vampires are vein but powerful creatures that need blood to survive and while sunlight won’t kill them, it still burns their flesh. This opens them up to extreme infections and often leading to death.
Each vampire has a sire, someone that turned them into a vampire, and traits from the sire are often passed down to the underling. Eye color being the most obvious one, but also level of bloodlust, physical strength, and at times dark gifts such as magical control, telekinesis, and mind control/reading.
Vamdari
Pride of the Vampire Nation, they’re an army of elite warriors with one goal. Glory and conquest for their Nation. For generations they have tried and failed to conquer the mortal world, the Opsona are always there to make sure they never succeed, but times change. Now with Lord Vondorian’s cunning new plan and his powerful weapon by his side the Opsona face a greater threat than only losing the mortal planes.
Characters
Lord Vondorian
One of four Vampire Lords of the Nation, he’s responsible for creating the Vamdari and conquering the mortal plane, but his agenda goes far deeper. Handsome beyond measure, cunning, smooth, and sensually devious Lord Vondorian is everything a vampire should be. He’ll entice you to leave your morals behind.
Serenity
General of Vamdari Army
The definition of strong female protagonist, Serenity has her own way of doing things. A former Opsona, Vondorian murdered her family and took her in, making her into a power vampire warrior. Raising fast among the vampire ranks, Serenity devoted her life to her Lord until she was struck down in battle. Coming back from near death has changed her, awaking the mortal voice of a conscience inside. Now she struggles between her former Opsona duties, and the allure of her own darkness.
Ryder
A Vamdari loyal to only Vondorian, Ryder leads her own special group inside the Vamdari. A brutal and heartless warrior who despises Serenity and the special treatment Vondorian gives her. Ryder follows her Master’s orders without question, but takes every opportunity to strike down Serenity. By Accident, of course.
Cret
The Shadow Wander
Half-Opsona, half-Crepus Vali Rebros (void demon race) Cret has struggled to find where he belongs. His demon brethren wish to kill him on sight, while the Opsona purposely conspired in his creation for one reason. To kill Serenity, the powerful vampire general. It’s the only reason his mother was not murdered upon his conception, and allowed to give birth to a half-breed such as him. Despite to please the Opsona he’ll do anything they ask, even kill the woman he loves.
Rhea
An Opsona Elder who has a thirst for knowledge. She is mentor and a mother-like figure for Cret and other Opsona. She is strong and powerful on her own but paired with other of her kin makes her unstoppable. Her only weakness, the need to learn every mystery the world has. The biggest one being, who is Serenity? She would do anything to answer that question, even sell her soul.
Mysheik
Cret’s only friend in the world, she is a fair and loyal Opsona. The daughter of a clan chief and elder with a brutal way of handling things, Mysheik is more delicate when handling matters. Don’t let her kind nature fool you she can be harsh and fierce when the situation calls for it, and she will follow her orders into death. Which makes her the perfect Opsona to fulfill a long held goal of the Opsona. A secret agenda hidden among the Elders of the clans, and their ultimate goal on the mortal planes. With frosted blue eyes she is from the Dexnu Discipline and is a mixed-clan child, which makes her unique. Typically Opsona are reborn into the same clan over and over again, for a new Opsona to be crafted by two different clans is rare. They are thought to be blessed by the Virtuous Gods and are often given scared missions. Will she fulfill her destiny or does her loyalty lie with Cret?
