Lessons from the Last Sage

On the Origin of Dranacti

How do you know that you are good? Demasus the Fanged Lion asked.

When the loss of one soul hurts as deeply as the loss of ten others, responded the Last Sage.

You cannot be good and be a vampire’s companion. You must kill to share in my darkness.

I have killed, the Last Sage said. I have killed my own brother. Not to share in your darkness, but to know the pain I must cure. Love is the first enemy. It is what mutates to destruction.

Then we agree. In the end, taking a life is always necessary.
