"I know, therefore, I am."

Those five words are my proof to the question of existence. Hundreds of thousands of convoluted theories guess that we may simply be the dreams of slumbering behemoths, or that each person is the same identity but scattered and warped by the moment they came to be.

I don't believe in any of that nonsense. To know, is to live, is to be, and there are so many things that will never be, and so that question of whether we truly "are" is swallowed up by everything else that matters the most.

We are lucky to be; to live; to know. Life is so easily taken for granted when more possibilities exist for a person than they'll ever know.


I think I began in just that very same vein-- or, rather, that was how others viewed me.

They believed that my life was just that, to be taken for granted, because from my mewling first moments, I was permanently impedimented with what you would know as hereditary sickle-cell anemia.

It's rather shallow-minded of magicians to think their child would be a cripple. Magic makes the impossible, possible-- but my parents didn't see that, focusing only on my flaws.
At that moment, neither they nor I had a clue what the future had in store.


Though I was not as energetic as my younger siblings, I found great joy in spending my time reading every book I could get my hands on. I had an insatiable thirst for knowledge and information, wanting to know everything about everything that ever was.
Rather predictably, I picked up my family's magical arts at an early age, and my drive to learn spilled over into the realm of magic, as well.

I did not run and play as easily as the rest of my family, but I knew. Knowing was my every thing, and I was happy with my life.


That only lasted so long. As my teenage years approached, I grew restless, only having learned as much as my family was willing to give me.

They still worried endlessly about my anemia, but while it did certainly impediment me, I didn't let it stop me. My desire to learn burned far too strong.

I soon left home, no long pacified with what I was limited to. I wandered through all of Britain, invading libraries in the night and taking all that I had not read or seen. Before they knew it, I was gone without a trace, a few simple spells washing away the traces I left behind.

It was remarkable-- there was so much I had yet to learn. The history of the world outside my country, the flora and fauna of continents far away, the cultures of peoples I had never even heard of.. I wanted to know about all of it.

What I hadn't yet discovered fascinated me beyond belief, and that inspired me more and more to drive on further..


After a few years of traveling the roads, I eventually found my way into a cute little mansion on the isles.
Unassuming, out in the middle of nowhere, currently inhabited by a few nobles from France who were taking refuge from the French Revolution.. it seemed like a wonderful spot to wander in and see what there was that I hadn't yet taken for myself.

That, of course, was a bit of a mistake. Until now, I had always assumed that there weren't much more than humans here...



On that summer night of 1901, I had slipped into the mansion, unseen and unheard by the residents. It hadn't been difficult whatsoever, easily fiddling a lock open with a simple spell and drifting silently through the air to prevent anyone from being alerted to my presence.

Of course, my boldness just ended up tricking me into believing that all would go well. In a clumsiness a little rare for me, the satin-lined bag of books that I was taking with me had slipped from my hand as I tripped over the edge of a rug, and the rather heavy contents nearly crushed my foot.
It was going quite a bit of my definition of "keeping quiet", but expletives soon burst from my mouth at the pain, and I struggled to gather up the bag before trying to leave as quickly as I could.

This disturbance was not left unignored. Before my very eyes, a young woman in a maid's outfit seemed to just materialize in front of me, looking cross and threateningly holding out a few serrated kitchen knives in my direction. Just behind her was a lady with piercing red eyes, a sneer that showed sharp teeth, and a set of leathery wings that were held out in an intimidating show at her back.

I'm unsure exactly what my thoughts were at that time.. surprise, realization, and an awe over whatever the chances were.
I had determined this place to be nothing special, but here I was, being stared at by a maid with some definite supernatural power about her, and a girl that seemed to perfectly fit the definition of a vampire..

I do, remember, however, that I had stood there for maybe a minute, just staring back in perhaps some way to return the intimidation and to get them to back off.
The vampire girl had said something in French, the sort of tone used giving the impression that it was a command to her servant, and the maid just took a bit of a step forward, staring at me with intent.

Instead of backing away or making a wild break for it, I.. had simply sat down then and there, and for whatever crazy reason, began to read one of the novels that I had tried to filch. Some strange logic must have convinced me that if I showed them no malicious intent, they would return it.

This behavior, of course, just seemed to frustrate them further, but I held a stoic patience about me and waited for their anger to ebb away.

Finally, after murmuring to themselves in French a bit longer, the vampire turned to me, stretching her wings briefly before speaking up in English.
"What in the world are you doing here?"
I had simply looked up at her with some look that was just incredulousness or perhaps disdain, before shaking my head and going back to reading. It was only a few minutes later before I finally spoke up again, momentarily looking up to meet her stare.

"Move your wing, won't you? You're blocking the light, it makes it difficult to read the text."

The girl only seemed more infuriated when I said this, but tried to keep her cool, stretching her wings out further to make herself look larger and more threatening or something like that. She stared at me long and hard for a minute or two while the maid at her side stood patiently in wait for an order--

"If you want these books so much, you could just.. always stay here and become our librarian. That way, you won't have to risk your throat being torn out by a very irritated and hungry vampire, and you can read whatever you like."

After a few seconds of processing this information, I had slowly gazed up at her, blinking once before returning to absently looking over fragmented sentences and brief paragraphs. This was quite a stark, sudden offer, and I needed to turn it over in my mind a few times before giving any answer.

But oh, how excited I was. Just the suggestion brought the idea of moving my personal collection to the much roomier library here, as opposed to having to squirrel it away in my room at home, and there was a sort of excitement about having to share my home with a vampire. They were rather fascinating creatures in their ways and behavior, that was for certain, and I knew very little about them outside from what was documented by humankind..

"... fine. Now, if you would be so kind as to leave me alone, I'd rather like to get back to reading."

 My answer was clear, concise, and a little bit rude. The last trait had just sort of come out naturally through that sour shell I would put up whenever I had to handle my own thoughts when interacting with other people. But neither the vampire nor her servant seemed too willing to kill me on sight for my indolence.

In fact, as I waved them out, all they did was regard me with that lingering, cautionary glare.


The gravity of what I had just done came crashing over me as soon as I was left alone. This was the perfect opportunity to escape from the suffocating atmosphere I called home, now able to live in a place where I could both comfortably house my collection and also practice my magic without restraints or rules.

It would be a little difficult to move everything here, but this library was mine now! I could expand it all I wanted (with permission from the mansion's owners, of course), and turn it into my personal domain where I could spend hours upon hours just reading and learning and trying all manner of spells..

This was all nothing short of a miracle, but perhaps after all of my hard work to pursue my interests, this was my reward..
