Chapter 1: Standing Before a Myth

Perhaps, and this is just speculation you understand…that perhaps, if Gratiano is really Lasombra in disguise, that the formation of the Sabbat, the hunting of the Lasombra antitribu, and the wholesale mistreatment of the mortals by the Sabbat is merely a test for his childer. A test to see whom amongst those he sired has the dedication, the loyalty to him to never cross over to the misguided direction that Gratiano was leading them to. A test to see whom amongst his childer is really worthy of the name, Lasombra.

So you see Pequeno Uno, it is best to never trust what you see, or what your elders tell you. I'm going to leave you here…still existing. You should be able to move and speak again just a few hours before sunrise. Enough time to get back to your little pack haven and tell them all about the myth that doesn't exist. Tell them that you talked to that which they told you was not real. But I'll leave you with this final thought...If your elders lied to you that the Lasombra antitribu do not exist...what else could they not be telling you?
