Personality Traits of the Comic Book Character: Author Ms Price

 


Personality Traits of the Comic Book Character: Author Ms Price

The author Ms Price is an intellectual. She is a Type-A personality whose main focus is on work. Though she is not an introvert (She is lively and extroverted), she has somewhat limited herself socially due to her self-imposed seclusion in order to concentrate on her research. She spends her days and night writing, researching and freelancing, and much of her contact is with other researchers or clients, or when she goes to universities and other events to give speeches about her work (she only reluctantly starts going out more and is prodded to "enjoy life and take a break from work" by Detective Costa, who starts dating her). She impresses her audience and is enthusiastic about her work, and is determined to prove the existence of the Vampire Guardian Angels. She is not spiritual, and she is not afraid to challenge and speak her mind, and she always means what she says, even if her comments can be harsh. She does not want to disrespect others' beliefs, but she also does not believe people should rely on a higher power to help them, and that those "higher powers" could be evil. She is an atheist. She’s adamant that humans should cease relying on angels for a solution to their problems that humans created themselves and are responsive for. She believes that  humans summoning unseen beings to help them out of their miseries causes trouble, and that the belief that Angels were created to help humans was a dangerous myth. And when the Angels do come to life and start harming humans, she’s later blamed for their existence. But she also has a strong sense of right and wrong no matter what those higher powers are, and she knows that what the Vampire Guardian Angels are doing is wrong, and they must be stopped, and she does feel a strong sense of guilt for having accidentally brought them to life. And she is not afraid to face them. She is willing to search for them alone in the darkest churches or the creepiest cemeteries, to prove they are real.

However, this is what drives Detective Costa crazy as he tries to protect her and look out for her. He feels that she is taking unnecessary risks. She can be impatient and restless when it comes to trying to solve the problem of the Vampire Guardian Angels. She's also over-confident, sometimes to the degree of being arrogant, This leads to clashes between her and Costa. She is high-spirited, values her own "freedom", and Costa’s constant over-protectiveness and restrictions of any sort - such as having her followed by his cop friends and bringing her back home even in the middle of an event if he feels things get too dangerous,  irritates and frustrates her. For some reason, she believes that the Vampire Guardian Angels will not harm her. And she demands her space from the overbearing Costa. She does feel some degree of regret when she is kidnapped by Prince Jeromos for not being more careful and for not listening to Costa, but she does see her situation as an opportunity to somehow stop the Angels since she is on the midst of them now. Instead of full regret, she felt that the "sacrifice—meaning herself--was necessary to hopefully infiltrate them and find out more about them and their plans. But she is also at risk of sympathizing with her captors, because the angels talk endlessly about their own emotional and psychological abuse and servitude under humans, so there is a risk of the author falling under "Stockholm Syndrome".

What are Vials of Blood and Gold?

The "Healing Potion",  called "Vials of Blood and Gold", were kept in plain glass reliquaries hanging from a leather cord. The formula consisted of the bones and body parts of "supposed incorruptible bodies -- bodies that resisted decay and were worshipped as saints" whose bodies did not decompose, and who were secretly Vampires because they did not age, and were in reality, sleeping. They were, like the original Vampire Guardian Angels, hidden and preserved by the Church and their armies. Some of them were even hidden in plain sight, in glass coffins in plain view of their gullible human worshippers.

In order for the potion to work, it had to be mixed with Vampire blood, and not just any vampire--they had to be ancient "holy ones", since Vampire Guardian Angels were of celestial origins, the still-flowing blood of the incorruptibles, and gold, because of its magical alchemy properties and also because ancient holy relics were kept in gold and became a supernatural preserving agent. What humans did not know was that even the supposed “holy humans” had been bitten by the original Vampire Guardian Angels, and when they "died” or were injured, they were put into a deep sleep, and parts of their bodies were remodeled with wax to make them appear lifelike.

The "blood" was taken from these special "holy relics" and ancient vampires and mixed with liquified or soft flaked gold to form the valuable potion that heals injured Vampire Guardian Angels. This potion was discovered by Prince Jeromos when he was tasked by King Janos to find a cure for the Vampire Guardian Angels affected by the plague, after a gold container filled with vampire blood in which he placed a body part --a finger-- for preservation began to regenerate and move. Later, after Jeromos kidnaps the Author, the vials are mixed with some of Ms. Price's own immortal vampire blood, making the potion even more powerful since she is the "creator" and her blood has full healing and  regenerative properties.

Vampire Guardian Angels: Apocalypse, Issue 7


Lia Scott Price's 
 Vampire Guardian AngelsTM 
 Apocalypse (Issue 7)

 Copyright Lia Scott Price

“Apocalypse”  focuses on the coming brutal bloody war for power between the Vampire Guardian Angels, humans, and earth vampires, and why they are specifically after the author, Ms. Price, as they fight among themselves and build their armies. Whoever possesses the “Creator and Healer” - who happens to be Ms. Price - the “most powerful of all relics”, and is of royal blood or marries into royal blood, will become full ruler of all, with Ms. Price as his Queen. It's army vs army, with humans and vampires either bred or eaten, and the author caught in between.

Back in Issue 6, Joseph had invaded Prince Jeromos’s monastery. After imprisoning both Cameron and Gabriel, he spares Detective Costa, who has turned into a Vampire Guardian Angel, but goes after Prince Jeromos, only to find that Jeromos has a piece of Cameron’s sword that he obtained when he and Cameron fought and when Cameron’s sword shattered and a piece fell off (The sword was later retrieved by Costa and obtained by Joseph when he imprisoned him in the crystal coffin along with Gabriel). Jeromos also has Cameron’s blood infused into his own sword, which gives him the power to kill Vampire Guardian Angels since Cameron is considered still the “good” angel. Though Joseph had Cameron’s sword and tried to fight Jeromos, he still was not skilled in using the sword and is disarmed by Jeromos. The sword flies out of his hand and off into a corner of the hallway. Backing off, Joseph tries to use his power of light on Jeromos but he shields himself with Cameron’s sword, deflecting the light. Joseph yells at Jeromos that he will bring down Janos’s army from Heaven and will make them follow him and take over Janos’s reign by taking Janos hostage. Jeromos tells Joseph that it’s too late, Janos is already his prisoner. Joseph realizes Jeromos is too strong for him and Joseph is still an inexperienced fighter, so he retreats and disappears, vowing he will be back with a vengeance.

While Joseph is distracted, Costa, still weak from his transformation, continued to try to find Ms. Price. Cameron finds Costa, and tells him they must leave and come back with reinforcements since they both cannot fight Jeromos, Joseph and Gabriel by themselves.  He also tells Costa he knows Joseph has grown more evil and powerful and that he and Gabriel were imprisoned by him, but freed for some reason by a white marble guardian angel statue. Cameron came upon Jeromos and Joseph, found his sword,  and escaped while they were fighting. He also tells Costa that he is now a good Vampire Guardian Angel, and that he has become the first human to become a Vampire Guardian Angel instantly without dying and going to Heaven, where the transformation takes place. To become a Vampire Guardian Angel, a human or an Earth Vampire has to die, ascend to Heaven, be resurrected and bitten by a Vampire Guardian Angel, and then descend to Earth through a portal. Costa has skipped this process because of his physical relations with the author - they have become one in “body and blood” through intercourse, he was bitten by the Angelorumrabidi, and he drank the potion immediately, so with that rare combination, he was instantly “created”. The only other way a human or an Earth Vampire can become a Vampire Guardian Angel is to forcefully “take” the author and have physical relations with her, be bitten by a Vampire Guardian Angel, and drink the potion. Ms. Price could instantly create a Vampire Guardian Angel with her own body. He tells Costa why Jeromos wants Ms. Price, because she can heal him.  And in order for a Vampire Guardian Angel to become (almost) invincible, they will have to  have physical relations with her and mingle their blood with hers through a blood pact. Costa is angry that Cameron implies that Jeromos forced himself on Ms. Price, and insists on finding her and killing Jeromos. But Cameron warns him that Jeromos now can’t be killed because it would kill Ms. Price too. If one kills the creator, Costa and any of the Angels who have made a blood pact with her die as well. But as long as she’s alive, nothing can kill them as they can instantly heal or be healed by her. Even if she dies, only the angels who had created a blood pact with her will die, and the rest, thousands, will still continue on living and killing. But evil Vampire Guardian Angels can still be killed by an angel who has turned back to good, or is a good angel to begin with, of which there is only one left (vs. thousands). However, Jeromos can’t kill Costa either because he and Ms. Price are now one in “body and blood” due to his previous relations with her. Cameron forcibly makes Costa leave with him. Costa asks why Cameron left his son behind, and Cameron replies that he will deal with him later.

After chasing Joseph away, Jeromos is informed by a soldier that Ms. Price has escaped her crystal coffin. Forgetting to pick up Cameron’s sword, Jeromos searches for her. Ms. Price, looking to escape, comes across the feeding and breeding room, where a Vampire Guardian Angel tries to attack her but is killed by Jeromos. Jeromos takes Ms. Price to a dungeon deep below the monastery, and into an enormous crypt. He shows her a Vampire Guardian Angel in a crystal coffin, unconscious.  It’s King Janos, who has finally descended from Heaven through Prince Jeromos, who has sacrificed much of his own army of Vampire Guardian Angels using the virus, to create a portal large enough to bring Janos down along with a replacement army. However, Janos is secretly taken prisoner by Jeromos, who plans to rule through him. Jeromos takes control of the virus and successfully convinces his Church/Vatican vampire army and his and Janos’s  Vampire Guardian Angel followers that Janos was gravely injured during the descent, and pretends to heal him while keeping him in an indefinite coma.  Jeromos’s reputation as a healer and the fact that he is Janos’s right-hand man, often making decisions on behalf of the King (as well as being Janos’s chosen heir), makes the Vampire Guardian Angels believe Jeromos and they do not question his authority. They pledge to him their full allegiance. Janos’s weakness and reliance on Jeromos proved to be his undoing. Now that he has the author, the King, Cameron and Gabriel, Jeromos feels that nothing can stand in his way. He will proclaim himself King. And then,  all he needs is an heir.

Jeromos takes Ms Price to a bed surrounded by his followers, where he has declared a public consummation of their union. He forces himself on her to seal his position as King. As he does, he reveals to her that she has royal blood, and to be married to a royal gives him unquestionable power. His relationship with her is one of pure lust and control - she knows she is a figurehead and a trophy for him, given her status as their “creator”,  her healing powers, and her own royal blood.  Whoever possesses the author and a royal title, or by marrying a royal and making a blood pact with her, will give an angel full control of any Vampire Guardian Angel army. Jeromos also knows that she refuses to bear him an heir as she can control her own body with her powers, but he says he is patient and she will, in time, do what he wants.  After the ceremony, he presents Ms. Price to his followers as “Queen of the Vampire Guardian Angels”. He then sends his army out to destroy whole cities and to capture humans to bring them back to the monastery to breed and to slaughter for food.

Jeromos goes to check on his new prisoners Gabriel and Cameron, and to his shock, finds their glass coffins shattered and empty. He gets a glimpse of an Angelorum Marmore, a marble guardian angel statue, escaping. Suddenly remembering Cameron’s sword, he goes back to the hallway and finds it missing as well.

The Angelorum Marmore flies back to an abandoned white marble Basilica in Poland with stolen vials of the potion.  It hands the vials to a waiting figure - Gabriel. Gabriel scolds the angel for freeing Cameron but forgives it, saying he needs the angel for more important things. It turns out that Gabriel had been building his own secret army of marble guardian angel statues behind Jeromos’s back. He would send them to a hideout he maintained in a secret location. He used angel statues since he did not trust anyone else living - humans or vampire, and his private army is more for protection- he does not have any desire to rule and does not want power, and part of him does feel that he owes some degree of loyalty to Jeromos for saving his life, so he refuses to take part in the coming “Apocalypse” or war between the Vampire Guardian Angels. In his refuge,  Gabriel continues to build his army, mainly to use them as his “bodyguards” and to bring him humans for food and more vials of the potion from Jeromos's laboratory. Gabriel also happens to be the most powerful and dangerous of all the Vampire Guardian Angels and  since he was the one who turned the angels in Heaven into Vampires, he is also a “creator”. His only goal is to continue on as a serial killer, to stop the voices, the prayers of humans, that continue to torment him.  He realizes that the one thing that can relieve him of his pain and torment happens to be Ms. Price.

After bringing Costa back to Los Angeles,  Cameron points him in the direction of his old police station, saying that his colleagues have barricaded themselves and are hiding out throughout the now apocalyptic landscape of the city, where Vampire Guardian Angels are slaughtering both humans and vampires. Cameron tells Costa that he has decided to leave his son Joseph to his own fate before disappearing again. Costa  argues with Cameron, saying that Cameron is abandoning them and reminding him that he has to help him rescue Ms. Price, but Cameron ignores him and leaves, saying he has decided that he is no longer good, and that Costa will now take his place as protector of humans. But this time Cameron  has now radically changed, for the worse. He's become resentful and sees turning evil as an easier way, and that power is better than " painful and unrewarding sacrifice for ungrateful humans and his own stepson". Cameron no longer regrets killing Christina. He now sees her as weak and whiny, annoyed that her attention was always on Joseph. But his sword can still kill Vampire Guardian Angels since it still has his blood when he was “good”. Cameron finds that he too, wants the author, after discovering her healing powers and what it would mean to possess her, having learned who she is and what she can do, and knowing he will need her to heal him. He also sees her as someone “worthier”. Cameron had a plan all along. He took Costa away from Jeromos’s monastery because he knew Jeromos could not kill him and he didn't want Costa to save Ms. Price. If he brought Costa back to Los Angeles, he knew Costa would be too occupied with saving humans to go back for Ms. Price, and Cameron would have a chance to take the Queen for himself. Realizing he must end up betraying Costa, and tired of constantly feeling defeated through all of his experiences up to his imprisonment by his own stepson, he has given in to wanting power and, like Gabriel, has become tired of defending humans. Cameron has also been greatly affected by Joseph's hatred of him, so he gives up on being a stepfather to him. Like Gabriel, he has decided that instead of helping anyone, he has become resentful, angry, violent, dangerous and vengeful, and feels that he owes it to himself to make himself feel good and do things for his benefit alone. So there are no “good” guardian angels left, other than Costa. Cameron goes off to form a rebel army of Vampire Guardian Angels who fear him more than Jeromos and who are willing to follow him in exchange for being spared the wrath of the “Angel Killer”. He promises that he will take over Jeromos’s rule, control the potion and the virus, and take the Queen.

Joseph, having found refuge in an abandoned warehouse and frustrated that he has lost Cameron’s sword, plots his continued ambition of revenge against Cameron, Gabriel, and Jeromos.  He is still furious at Cameron for killing his mother, and for Cameron’s previous absence while he was growing up - Cameron was too busy saving humans. It was Detective Kirkland, Cameron's old police partner,  who basically raised him in Christina’s place. But when Joseph was old enough to make it on his own, Kirkland was committed in a psych ward, and later saved Joseph from an attack by Gabriel, and died in the process. Joseph lost his second father figure. But Joseph too, is creating an army— a ghost army of Vampire Guardian Angel souls or balls of light—trapped angel souls—that failed to ascend and who were trapped in the astral plane between good and evil and were prevented from ascending, and these souls are now bound to him. He also plans to kidnap the author to hold her ransom in exchange for Cameron and Jeromos, as he knows that their own armies will turn on them once he has their symbol of power, the author, captive, and they will do what he tells them to. But he has no desire for any physical relations with her, because he is still traumatized by the death of his mother Christina, and sees her in every female he encounters, and he believes that every female he is with is cursed, such as the death of Catharina when she saved him from Gabriel. He only needs the creator to bring his army to life, and then he will hold her hostage. Whoever in his army kills Cameron will have her as a reward.

Back in Los Angeles, the Earth vampires and humans, after discovering the author’s research and after finally believing her writings, have also discovered the supernatural power behind them and of her family history as part of the Inquisition and her blood relation to the Spanish royal family and to the original secret Church police, of which she was unaware of,  are now after her to either ransom her to stop Jeromos, or destroy her, thinking that if they did, they also destroy the angels since she is their “creator”. But they don’t realize that she is self-healing and immortal and not evil, so not even the angels can kill her. They know she’s still being held by Jeromos as his Queen. And he will do anything to protect her. Costa finds them, and they at first try to attack him, but old friends of Catharina, his old vampire informant, recognize him.  They also realize he is one of the only good angels left and that he can help them, since Costa tells them Cameron had abandoned them all. Costa warns them that if they kill the author or Jeromos, he dies too. Reluctantly, they agree to try to come up with another plan to stop the angels. Costa eventually forms an earth vampire and human unit of his own, made up of former and current police colleagues and military soldiers, to protect the humans and Earth Vampires and attempt to rescue the author and destroy the other Vampire Guardian Angels. Surprisingly, Costa finds another ally: the Angelorum Marmore who freed Cameron had defected from Gabriel’s army, having feared punishment by Gabriel,  and joined Costa as his spy. Costa just wants his girlfriend back safe with him, and he realizes that if any there angels take her physically, they cannot be killed or she will die as well if they die. So even as a “good angel”, he can’t kill Jeromos.  Costa  realizes his army is too small and he is kept busy defending the city from the Vampire Guardian Angels who are slaughtering anyone who prays to them. Costa also has to deal with the Church who, despite the warnings not to pray, keeps sending out preachers to convince humans to pray even more and to convert non-believers. Costa is unaware that the Church is doing this on purpose since they are working for the now King Jeromos. He is kept busy trying to defend the city's inhabitants against the Vampire Guardian Angels.

Gabriel secretly returns to the monastery and breaks in and kidnaps Ms. Price, as his Angelorum Marmore army successfully holds back Jeromos and his guards. Noticing the scar in Ms. Price’s arm as a sign of the blood pact, he realizes he cannot kill Jeromos, only hold him back. So Gabriel’s army retreats. Gabriel takes the author back to his Basilica and forces himself on her and performs the blood pact and consummates the union before his angel army and a kidnapped priest who marries them and is slaughtered after. The blood pact makes him invincible as well. However, during her captivity, the author sees a vulnerable side to Gabriel  when he talks about his past and he softens when she comforts him, and he falls for her. He pledges his life to her, furthering the strength of the blood pact. However, he cannot stop himself from answering the prayers of desperate humans and continues to slaughter them for food and to “quiet the voices,” as he is still tortured by the "prayers" of human and still seeks to "shut them up for good." But he does try to keep this hidden from Ms. Price, who he keeps as oblivious as possible to his activities  in the Basilica, and who he treats gently and tenderly, in contrast to his brutality of the humans and in contrast to Jeromos’s treatment of the Queen. The Queen soon becomes torn and struggles with her view of faith and reliance on a higher power. She wants people to stop praying because of what angels like Gabriel do to them, but she also begin to sympathize with how humans treated angels as their own slaves as well, and she could see why Gabriel wanted revenge. God made angels suffer to serve humans and forced them to become their protectors and therapists, so she could see why they rebelled and were out for revenge.  She starts to question her role: does she do all she can to save humans when she knows they will continue to hopelessly rely on a higher power and may enslave the angels again, does she try to convince the angels to turn back to good, or does she try to save herself?

Cameron launches a surprise attack on the Basilica and a section of it collapses, burying Gabriel, knocking him out. Cameron watches as the author collapses unconscious as well, and realizes that Gabriel too, has made a blood pact with her. Cameron is enraged that he cannot kill his long-time rival without harming the author, so all he can do is take her and leave as the Angelorum Marmore rush to defend Gabriel. Cameron too, forces himself on Ms. Price and completes the blood pact. Cameron realizes through his psychic powers that Ms. Price and his bitter enemy, Gabriel, have fallen for each other, but he dismisses it as Gabriel having mind control over Ms. Price and manipulating her feelings. Cameron is much more terrifying and more brutal than Jeromos as he too, slaughters human and vampire captives, not for food, but for revenge. And his lust for the author is driven by his intense jealousy that she had been with Gabriel. He tells her that Costa is now a Vampire Guardian Angel but has abandoned her to save the humans back in Los Angeles. The Queen does not believe Cameron and is secretly relieved that Costa is alive and can’t be killed by Cameron, but knows that if she sacrifices herself to destroy Jeromos and Cameron, she risks killing Costa, and Gabriel, who she has developed feelings for.

Costa hears that the author is now Cameron's captive and has performed the blood pact. Costa is enraged that Cameron, now his former friend, would betray him by taking the woman he loved. He is even more enraged when he finds out that Gabriel had taken her as well. Costa vows that he  will do whatever it takes to get her back. He is also frustrated in the fact that his girlfriend is now, in effect, “married” to 3 other Angels and is their “Queen”, although the only legitimate claimant to having her as an anointed queen is Jeromos. But Cameron has proclaimed himself King as well, although the only royal who can “legitimize” him is in fact either Prince Jeromos or King Janos, so he will still have trouble trying to get all the angels to fully follow him. Costa now has to compete with Gabriel and Jeromos to get the author back from Cameron. Although Costa has no desire to become King, he realizes that he would have find a way to lead the Vampire Guardian Angels, which would make it easier to stop their takeover. But he also has to make a choice: protect the Queen from the other angels, or sacrifice her and himself and save humans.

What the “Author” (Ms. Price) Character’s Goal is in the Comic Book Series

Ever since Ms. Price, (the “Author” character who is responsible for supernaturally bringing the Vampire Guardian Angels to life in the comic book series), discovered the existence of vampires in the Bible, she has been obsessively trying to warn humans of their existence and the danger of their attacking humans. She gets warnings in dreams and prophecies given to her by one angel in particular, Zeke, one of the original Vampire Guardian Angels who existed during biblical times. He tells her of a church conspiracy that began during the inquisition to house and breed the Vampire Guardian Angels and using them to get rid of heretics by feeding them to the vampires. The church also hid the existence of the Vampire Guardian Angels by cryptically recording them in the Bible, using symbolic images of body and blood, and called these vampires “Angels”. he only warns her because he wants her for himself and is trying to tell her his “story” and considers her his human “messenger” to spread the news of their existence: because the more believers, the more the angels can be summoned and take over humans. Zeke is later killed by the angel Cameron.

Ms. Price’s goal is to prove that the Vampire Guardian Angels are real, and that they are the cause of suicides, accidents and murders throughout Los Angeles, and the world, and she especially tries to convince Detective Costa, who is in charge of trying to solve all the murders in the city. She knows that the angels use hypnosis, mind control, and sharp weapons after they track down people with their prayers, and she is very vocal about trying to tell people not to pray for help specifically to a guardian angel since that is the way their “victims” summon them. She does this through talk shows, articles, the media, book signings, appearances at events, radio interviews and online blogs and social media, even though she is more of a reclusive person.

She does not believe in guardian angels and does not pray to them so she is safe, but there is a bigger reason they cannot attack her. She is a target, however, for different reasons, first by Zeke, and eventually by Prince Jeromos.  Since she is considered their “creator” who “brought them to life”, a Vampire Guardian Angel who makes her their queen becomes the most powerful ruler of all the angels, and will never succumb to injuries because of the healing powers of her own blood. And she also happens to be immortal to begin with, even though she never knew it, and discovers this only after Jeromos tells her. He also turns her into a vampire.

Even after she’s kidnapped and held by Jeromos, she still continues to try to find a way to stop the Vampire Guardian Angels. She feels responsible for unleashing them unto the world, and now feels it is her responsibility to send them back into the pages of history where they should have remained, as just a myth.

The Dreams and Prophecies sent by the Vampire Guardian Angels to the “Author” Ms. Price

First came the dreams and cryptic passages from the pages of the Bible— a black book with its pages soaked in blood and black feathers pressed within the pages. These feathers were later found at crime scenes throughout Los Angeles and New York, mostly in Churches. Zeke would tell Ms Price of a prophecy of a “chosen leader” who would be coming to take over both Heaven and Earth.

The Messenger and the Message:

The Vampire Guardian Angel Zeke (Comic Book Issue 3)
Ezekiel “Zeke” revealed to the author Ms Price in her dreams that the Church in ancient times, and the Inquisition, used Vampire Guardian Angels to get rid of “sinners” who refused to convert or who were accused on being “heretics”. It was also an expedient way for them to get rid of political opponents or anyone who defied their authority. They just fed these poor humans to the Vampire Guardian Angels.

These 3 immortal Vampire Guardian Angels (there were originally four: Zeke, Anthony, Jude and Gregory, but Gregory escaped and “married” the vampire Countess Bathory, and their son is the current Vampire Guardian Angel Janos) were discovered by the Church and secretly documented in the Bible under the guise of such cryptic words as “body and blood” and the “drinking of blood”, and that Ms. price would find that these references in the Bible concealed the existence of these Angels-turned-Vampires. The Spanish Inquisition and its inquisitors in different countries in particular under the patronage of royals contributed funds towards the housing and upkeep of the Vampire Guardian Angels as they were shuttled from monastery to monastery, wherever they were needed to get rid of heretics. And they were recorded along the way as Angels who punished man.

Using the Vampires also saved the church money. Penalties for sinners included having to hire torturers, executioners, and use a variety of torture devices. Feeding the sinners to the Vampires was much more expedient—there were no people to hire and no devices or equipment to build, and the monks did the cleanup of the victims’ remains for free “as was their duty and without complaint”.

The Church also had to find a way to conceal their “pets”. So they called the Vampires “Angels”, due to their black wings and they were still of a celestial nature, able to walk in sunlight and they were not affected by holy water, and their desire to live in and sleep on holy ground.

The Church and the Vampire Guardian Angels were completely brutal. They used fear to control the populace. The people were made to both fear, and worship, the “Angels”. They saw the non-believers disappear and come back in pieces. And it was also a brutal way for the Church to seize and confiscate the dead victims’ property.

At first the Vampires were dependent on the Church as they got used to their transformation from good angel to evil vampire, and relied on them for food and shelter. But later they were constantly reminded of their own “mission”, which was to turn all the angels into vampires and help their leader take over Earth. And they no longer wanted to be held by the Church, even though they could destroy every one of their captors, they decided to steal weapons and discreetly escape instead, knowing that they may need the Church’s assistance someday.  (And they did eventually need them. The Vampire Guardian Angels were skilled in swordsmanship, and the Church had them train their own secret armies. The descendants of these trained soldiers later became part of the modern-day army commanded by the Vampire Guardian Angel Jeromos. The Spanish Inquisition in particular used secret police to spy on and retaliate against threats to the Spanish crown and to the Church. And from that secret police came the ultra-secret Church Army that promised to support the Vampire Guardian Angels when it came time to take over both Heaven and Earth….in exchange for their lives.

Zeke wanted the author of acknowledge their existence, to “bring them to life” in her words and writings, which would supposedly bring in more “believers” in the angels so that whichever humans believed in them would automatically summon them and become their “food”. It would become a vicious cycle of humans fanatically making their fellow humans believe in angels, and this belief would lead to their deaths at the hands of the vampires. Humans were conditioned to believe that guardian angels were always good and that this supernatural higher power would protect and help them in their time of need, without realizing that these guardian angels had now become vicious vampires who would eat them.

Humans were the perfect targets because, ever since the medieval times when they were controlled by fear, they were gullible believers desperate for saviors. They were brainwashed for centuries to want something to believe in that would save them from their problems—famine, disease, sickness—any problem, making them so dependent on a supernatural power rather than themselves. They wanted to be protected by unseen beings and wait for unseen entities and “guardians” to come to them and save them, look after them, watch over them. So they remained helpless and gullible. This fanatical belief in guardians—guardian angels in particular—gave rise to an industry of angel-themed baubles and statues and talismans. But this was exactly what the Vampire Guardian Angels wanted—the more the humans believed in them, the more they became prey. And since the Angels could only come after the “believers” because they tracked them down through their “prayers” which summoned the Vampires, the more believers and calls to Angels for help, the better.

And when the entities did come, humans became victims. They weren’t saved—they were eaten.

And so, the author became the “creator” of these deadly creatures. And it seemed written in her own family history — Ms Price has Spanish and German blood, and her ancestors were also inquisitors, and members of the Spanish royal family.
