The Circle of Eclipse

The Circle of Eclipse is the core of a Vampirism organization that was formed in the early 100’dreds when the Roman empire had increased supremacy and power over most of the established world. The Reform made by Augustus stabled more than just the Roman Empire. For behind in the shadows another power had risen , a dark claw was tight around the leaders neck causing him to do the actions he had done, and gaining the praise for it when in truth the powers was from another presence. For in attempt to concur Britain under Emperor Claudius they awoke an ancient darkness. A group of Soldiers 12 to be precise went mysteriously missing on a scouting mission out in a cave currently known as Adeline’s Hole.

These twelve individuals encountered a power unlike anything this world could possibly have to offer, and for eternal life, and power they

traded part   of their souls to liberate a being trapped within the cave. These twelve individuals left England and exhibited abilities similar to Vampires but at the same time complex. People that would see them would think them to be blood thirsty creatures but they were much more benevolent. They killed when had to and devoted themselves to peace and prosperity. They found haven in certain parts of Europe where they housed with the people in life style but sadly that chapter of time faded. The Leader of the twelve gifted individuals desired more power, and desired to end this hiding and establish him selves. But his fellow 11 thought him insane and ignored his desires.

This started the long scheming of over throwing them. He them around the 800’th century disappeared as Islamic Arab domination. His fellow friends knew not where he was for a long time until finally in the 10nth century he returned with more power than his fellows. Within that 200 year period he had searched for the entity that granted them the power they now possessed and he made a deal with Natis. That if this creature granted him the power to decimate the other 11 he would rise up 11 others to honour and sever the being, along with letting this being take their entire soul to feast upon. Natis unsatisfied with this added one more thing to the bargaining table: He desired Symons’s Daughters first borne to take as his wife. Thinking little to this he agreed and Natis granted him power.

So he returned and with the dark beings powers destroyed the people he once called friends. This was around the time of the first crusade and the blood bath in Europe due to the domination of the Muslims. It was during the Norwegian crusade that Sigurd 1st (1107-1110) of Norway knew about these mysterious creatures. He then requested the aid of Symon in vanquishing the Muslims in exchange he would give Spain to them, to the 12 to the Circle of Eclipse which was what they became called for the fact that whenever they fought any battle there was always a lunar Eclipse.   Yes instead of taking over Spain Symon just watched from the shadows he never engaged only waited for the right time. After this they began creating roots within the Spain and surrounding European countries. Each member was in charge of one of the countries on the European  peninsula. Each member took on a position in power, not high in the ladder yet near enough to know it’s going on and to have some influence.   

Over time the Circle of Eclipse like the rest similar to their kind became the enemies of the Lycan Empire steadily growing. Nevertheless the 12 members had very distinctive abilities separating them from the beast that killed Vampires and there for they were not noticed. It was not long after Symons stability in Spain that he bore a son, with a female called Jeance. And so with her joining his side there was another group created, The Trinity consisting of Symon, his wife and one of their most trusted followers. It was only after his sun matured that Symon realized he was aging, slowly yet aging. He searched out in anger for the deity but found it not. It was only after his death that his son, Michel found it and demanded explanation. His father had told him that in exchange of his soul he would be granted immortality.

At first Natis was reluctant but he eventually told the young man that without the absorption of other human souls, all of them would die. For it were the human souls that could quench their hunger. Once again Natis left and so the remaining group of children of the previous 12 and the Trinity commenced in their feeding of souls. They then called themselves Espíritu Los cazadores, which translated means Soul Hunters,but to the untrained eyes they were still Vampires, blood thirsty killers. Time progressed and Natis’s word proved right. Nevertheless none of the members lived forever, for each one somehow was killed off. It was only around the 1800 century that they gained some stability. With But through this time none of the Sons, Grandchildren or great grandchildren from Symon had born any female children, leaving the deal unfinished.

Until one day. From the line of Elysian the adopted daughter of Demarkus ran away, and on her gallivanting she fell pregnant with an

assassin’s child, a human assassin’s child a Female child. The moment this occurred the Circle of Eclipse and it’s surrounding forces were alerted and went to retrieve the baby girl from its mother, reluctant to do this Victoria ran, returning to the father in hope he’d keep the child. But before transaction of the baby could commence the pregnant mother on the verge of birth was spirited away without a trace. Only 2 years later was she found knowing not where the child was. Because this Natis said that if he child is not returned within 20 years the immortality would be lost.

And so since then a blood thirsty hunt been taken in hand after the child, but unable to find or even detect her presence. It was only about 16 years later that her presence in the world was found, but since then something had been protecting her, something making them unable to find her, but who knows how long that will last? It was around the 1800th same time of the child going mission that the circle of Eclipse discovered they could create other like them. Not by a mere bite but by a ritual, this made many of their kind limited. In truth there is probably a max of 1000 in all around the world. But that is how The Espíritu Los cazadores wanted, a small tight circle, dressed in shadows and deception covered in myth.
