Vampire Hunter B

Born the son of a gravedigger his mother died giving birth to him. Unwanted he ran the streets of Disnath with a gang of urchins at night, stealing whatever wasn't nailed down. He would hide in his mothers crypt during the day and awaken just after sunset dreaming of someone singing to him. On nights that he didn't roam the streets the ghost of his mother would dance with him and silently sing him to sleep at dawn. In his dreams he could hear her voice.

Half-starved, his fathers job and habit of sleeping in the graveyard earned him the name Bones, he doesn't remember his real name or if his father even named him.

Once while prowling the night he came upon a girl trapped in a giant spider web, screaming in terror and struggling frantically, further entangling herself. Bones had seen others caught in the webs before and knew it wouldn't be long until the spiders came, wrapped her in silk and disappeared into the night.

To keep her from drawing the spiders attention while he looked for something to burn away the webs he started singing one of his mothers songs. Just as he got the torch lit he heard a voice from the darkness "keep singing little one" and the torch went out. Then the spiders appeared, the girl started screaming again and he ran as fast as he could.

Since then he often felt like he was being watched...

A few months later he was following a trio of duergars who had flashed some silver coins while buying bread. Bones signaled his friends who were waiting on the crowded stairs that lead down into the undercommons. He saw his friends deft hands dart in and out of the duergars pouch and then everything went black.

When he awoke a pale skinned lady was staring at him, "welcome little singer" she said, a shiver of fear went through him as he recognized the voice from the spider alley and she began laughing.

Bones spent the next six years as a slave, singing for his mistress at the vampires nightly parties and trying to escape during the day. He escaped many times regardless of the beatings she would give him and she always found him the next night.

There were other singers and she promised to make each one a vampire when they grew up so they could live forever. The other singers didn't understand why he kept trying to escape and shunned him. Bones didn't need them, when in the hole for 30 days after an escape his soul and mind roamed free in his songs and dreams. Being fed often and well combined with his constant struggle to escape Bones grew strong.

Eventually the vampiress came to him "its time little one", she bared her fangs and faster than he could see she was at his throat.

As she promised, she turned him into a vampire and as he struggled against the chains that held him to the spire on the roof of the sunken temple he thought the sunrise never looked so beautiful. With tears of blood he began to sing, at last he would be free, and then screamed as he burst into flame.

When Bones awoke he could hear a distant pounding, as his mind cleared he realized it was his heart. Having no idea how he was alive again he racked his brain, what had happened? He vaguely remembered someone talking to him, but what was it they had said?

Sitting in the darkened tavern he saw the cards spread before him, he somehow knew he shouldn't draw one but he did anyway. The room began spinning and he came to in a swamp, he could hear people talking...
