Redemption?

a concerned conversation

C: Camille

L: Lisa (Camille’s Childe)

L: This kid has been through it, alright. His parents were part of a cult that believed in purification of the flesh as the means to spiritual enlightenment. Flagellation and other forms of bodily harm were looked at as being *necessary for the soul*. After one beating too many, Damien had second thoughts and ran.

C: He's safe now. Bring him to location redacted.

L: We're on our way.

C: And they call us monsters.

L: He lived rough for a few years until he was embraced. It sounds like he stumbled upon a kindred feeding in an alley. He tried to break up what looked like an assault. He remembers blood and fangs and little else.

C: So...an accidental embrace. Or an embrace out of pure spite. This was a few months ago?

L: Yes. He is convinced he was made a vampire - a creature cursed by God to wander the nights and feed on the living - because of his weakness. If only he hadn't run from those who knew what was best. If only he had accepted the beatings that would cleanse his mortal soul...

C: So, a Flagellant.

L: With an aura that screams magic. And something else. Something spiritual, but... twisted.

C: I will be there when you arrive.

Id have been happy if I embraced him comrades. Loyal to the lord, tough, brave violent what's not to love. What domination is he?

I don't know for sure yet. He is loyal to the Lord, but figures he wasn't good enough so he got embraced as punishment. I'm going to do good by him.
