This was a long time ago when calidor was in peace and there existed independent towns and cities. Cielo was born and raised in a town that may soon...not to exist.
(OOC: This is the story of how Cielo killed his first vampire.)
Cielo walked over to the picture. "Mom, you never told me about dad. Who was he...and what was he like?", Cielo said taking a close look at a man who had very sharp details. His mother walked over to him and told him, "Oh, well...he was a nice man." Cielo frowned only because it was the same answer every time he talked about his father. "He is dead. That is all that needs to be said. He abandoned you and me, and I don't want you to do the same to your future wife.", she said pointing at him. Cielo knew it was time to head out for the night and stop by his friend's house. It was very dark, the moon didn't shine, but to Cielo he could see everything fine. He could see every detail of every thing. He looked around to see that he was the only one on the street, and then he climbed up to the top window to where his friend's room is. Slowly opening the window he crept in. It was unusually quiet. He crept a little further to where his friend slept, he quickly pulled off the blanket. There his friend lay dead...with blood all over his neck. Cielo fell back and gasped in horror. There were two gaping wounds, but not only that but there were also some teeth marks in the area where the two wounds were. Cielo had heard of the myth but never had known that it was real. With blood running through his veins he quickly jumped out of the window and rolled as he hit the ground. He was running faster than ever. He could hear the sound of the wind matching with his golden hair as it swung behind him. He jumped through the door and quickly closed it behind him. "Ma. Something killed my friend!", Cielo said quickly trying to describe what he had seen. It was only that he stopped to see the horror in her eyes looking past him.

Cielo felt something grabbing the back of his neck. He was being lifted up. He couldn't do anything but swing his arms around. Cielo's mother yelled, "Stop it! Put him down!" Cielo could feel himself being pulled back then thrown forwards where he hit his head on the wall. Everything was starting to become blurry, but there all he could hear was a loud inhuman roar then something say, "Why did you let it live? We have let this become a secret, but now I am exposed! Do you know how many hunters are tracking me down because of him?!" The thing pointed at Cielo. Cielo was starting to regain his sight and noticed that the man looked like his father from the picture...but with blood red eyes and big humongous fangs. Cielo started panicking as the monster started to lift his mother up. "No!", Cielo screamed. The creature stopped and looked at Cielo, then smiled as he continued to lift his mother up. A loud snap could be heard and afterwards a sound of something being dropped on wood. His mother was dead, and her eyes looking at Cielo. The monster then pointed at Cielo and said, "You're next, half blood!" Many things were running through his mind. Slowly things were being answered but why him. Why Cielo to be a half vampire? He could feel his blood, his anger. He started to growl at the monster. "Why, so cute of a little thing, but it would be too bad that this will be your end.", the thing said. It started walking towards Cielo. Cielo pulled out one of the wood from the walls that shaped into a sharp piece after being pulled out. The monster was now 5 feet in front of him. Cielo pushed himself up and quickly jumped on the monster surprising it. It fell backwards trying to swat Cielo off. Cielo pulled the wood upwards and dropped it right on the vampire's chest, where it's heart should be. But, Cielo wasn't finished. He kept stabbing it over and over and over. Decayed blood was splashing everywhere as Cielo kept stabbing the monster over and over with the wooden piece. The monster screamed before it's lungs started to slowly press out air.
The house smelled like death. Cielo hid into a corner where he cried. He now had known that the creature was his father. It was a vampire, and that makes him relative to a vampire. A couple of men dressed in thick leather busted into the house. They saw the corpse and yelled out, "We found it." The men then dragged both bodies and burned them. One man slowly inched towards Cielo and grabbed his arm. He pressed against the wrist to check his pulse and said to the other men, "He ain't a vampire, no bite marks. Let's take him to the orphanage, and find out why this vampire traveled a long distance away from his nest." Cielo turned around and looked at the man and said, "I want to join." The man looked at Cielo with a concerned expression and said, "This job isn't for teenage boys." Cielo then replied with, "I killed a vampire. Doesn't that automatically make me become a vampire slayer." The man thought about it for a little while and said, "Sure, but we gotta train you first. If you want to come then you need to head down to Valken and speak with the slayers in charge."

(Some time further into the history and storyline: Age 98)
Cielo cursed as he wrapped himself in robes as he walked into the dust storm. The sheikh had told Cielo there were sightings of shadows with red eyes that peer over the dunes at night. Cielo traveled a long distance to hunt these desert vampires and undead creatures. He snapped out of his daydreams after walking out of the little storm. He was now in front of a city. He realized the dust storm made him change course in path. A man in red robes walked up to him. "We need your assistance.", the man said, "The great elder wishes that you take care of a little problem of his." Cielo cocked his head. No one knew he was going anywhere except the vampire slayers and the sheikh from a little farm town. "Pardon me if I ask, but how does he know of the services I may provide?" The man laughed and said, "Vampire slayers always wear a little blue ribbon on the right arm to show that they are on official business. You-", the man raised Cielo's left arm, "-are wearing a red ribbon on your left arm which means you are of available status." Cielo then replied with, "Oh, I didn't know. They never told me of my status, all I ever do is hunt vampires." The man then pulled on Cielo and said, "Come."
The man lightly pushed Cielo into a room. An old man sat on a chair decorated with gold and jewels, and his grandson in a little jewel chair next to him. The old man raised his hand up and said, "Come." Cielo walked forward and kneeled before the man. The old man coughed and laughed. "I'm afraid my services are of little use but as an advisor to help ready my grandson. You must kneel to him so he must know that he is the great sultanate." The old man raised his right hand over his son then raised the hand a bit up showing that the son had high status. Cielo then twisted himself to where he faced the grandson. The old man then spoke, "My grandson wants you to kill the vampires that have been sighted in our housing areas. Mostly in the areas where the women go to spa in the hot springs. I want you to hunt the vampire and bring us his head as proof. If all goes well you will be remembered here as the faithful vampire slayer that has done us good by saving us from the evils we cannot fight. Cielo then said, "I accept. But, I'm going to need a little team to help me catch the vampire." The old man was silent for a while until he said, "You will have three men. One from the house of Bain, Tanukh, and Abadi. My royal captains will pick them out for you. I assure you they will pick out those with unique skill that may be of need for your task." Cielo then stood, "Tell them to meet me at the plaza by sun-down." After that, Cielo walked out.

Cielo couldn't stop thinking about the little farm town and it's people. "It seems like everyone has vampire problems.", Cielo muttered to himself. The three men appeared in front of Cielo at sundown. One was a thief, the other a knight, and the last a cleric. Cielo smiled at his little assortment and told them to follow him. Cielo could feel it, the essence of the undead was strong but at night his undead sense was tingling. However, the elder was right it was in the spa's direction. A shadow appeared in the distance and left. Cielo then told the men to put their backs against the wall of any building and watch each other's back, because he is going to catch the vampire. He kept following the feeling until he got into an alleyway. There was nothing there, but he could feel the sense of one undead thing in the alleyway. Then a man slowly glided toward him. As a half-vampire, he wasn't scared of any vampire because whatever he could do, they could do as well. They weren't extremely powerful, but can be deadly if you keep your eyes off them. Cielo smiled, showing off his half blood teeth. The gliding man stumbled back aghast. Cielo could feel the vampire was confused at what Cielo really was because the vampire could feel him as undead and smell his blood at the same time. "I have some stakes here. I'd love for you to pick out your favorite color. They're all in red, each with a different hue.", Cielo said with a little chuckle. The gliding man was about 15 feet in front of him. Cielo slowly pulled out his morning star and held it in front of him. Behind him he could hear his men stuck to the walls with their weapons out. "Mr. Vampire, I'll make it easy for you. If you leave this place, then I will consider not chasing you down and instead hunt down another vampire. But, if you stay then I will have your teeth as a necklace. We have a deal?" The man looked at Cielo down then up with disgust. "Half-blood.", the man said. Cielo then took one step forward with his morning star out.

The rooster started to do it's morning thing. It was morning, Cielo appeared before the elder man with the head of the vampire. "I have done my job.", Cielo said and then he folded it in a blanket, "I believe in you to burn this head to prevent anyone catching a disease from it." Cielo then got up and left out the door. The elder sat speechless, not much to say, and the young grandson clapping his hands at random as he was a very young toddler. Cielo approached the gates and the men bowed their heads in respect. Cielo walked out and stopped 5 feet in front of the gates. He realized he couldn't take on the nest on his own. He is going to need to build himself up if he is going to take on some evil bloodsuckers. He decided it was time to visit the pirates. He headed to Blackwater Cove where he will make a new path in destiny. Years in the future, he hopes that coming back to the little farmer village, they would forgive him for that he never forgot about them and their problems with local vampires.
