The world was in high spirits, celebrating the unity and healing brought by the Breath of Unity. But in a secluded castle, shrouded in perpetual night, a menacing energy brewed.
With the return of the Universe Beacon, something else had awakened. The ground shook with a powerful tremor, releasing Maria, the once-dormant Vampire Queen, and her ardent followers from tens of thousands years of confinement.
Maria, a captivating figure with a deadly aura, surveyed her surroundings. "So much time has passed," she hissed, her eyes adjusting to the changes in the realms. "The world is different, but the mission remains. Pure blood supremacy shall reign."
Her followers, equally as fanatical and fervent in their beliefs, rallied around her. They saw the unity and peace of the realms as a threat to their age-old doctrine of pure-blooded dominance.
In a hidden chamber of the castle, Maria and her inner circle began formulating their plans. While they acknowledged the power of the Breath of Unity, they also believed in the raw, primal strength of their pure bloodline.
Damien, Alexander, and Serelith felt a disturbance in the cosmic balance. Serelith, drawing upon her ethereal intuition, sensed Maria. "Our work isn't done," she proclaimed, "This might be our most formidable challenge yet."
With a panoramic view of Maria's castle, surrounded by an ocean of darkness, contrasting the world bathed in the light of unity. An ominous atmosphere cloaked the castle, hinting at the impending storm that was about to engulf the multiverse.
With an eerie silence as dawn breaks over the ancient ruins of Velvoria. Birds and wildlife stay clear of this cursed land. At the center of these ruins is an old, derelict castle - Castle Bloodthorn. The camera moves through the corroded gates, past the statues of past Bloodsworn leaders, and into the castle's great hall.
In the hall's centre, a group of Bloodsworn gathers around an altar. They chant in a language long forgotten, the echo of their voices filling every corner of the castle. Their leader, a menacing figure named Lord Draven, rises and begins to address the group.
Lord Draven narrates the history of their order: "Centuries ago, when Maria, our eternal queen, walked this earth, she chose us, the Bloodsworn, to stand by her side. Not just as followers, but as protectors, as extensions of her will." His words are met with fervent nods of agreement.
Flashbacks accompany, painting a vivid picture of Maria's rule. We see young vampires being chosen, their loyalty tested through gruesome trials. These selected few become the Bloodsworn, undergoing rituals that strengthen their bond with Maria and sever any ties with their past. Their sole purpose is to uphold Maria's ideology of pureblood supremacy, and they take it upon themselves to hunt down and eliminate any hybrid vampires, whom they view as abominations.
One particular flashback shows a younger Draven, filled with doubt after discovering that his sister had fallen in love with a werewolf. Torn between familial love and loyalty to Maria, he makes the ultimate sacrifice, reporting his sister and her lover to the Bloodsworn. The scene is heart-wrenching as Draven is forced to watch their execution, solidifying his commitment to the Bloodsworn cause.
Back in the present, Draven's tale concludes, and the Bloodsworn erupt in a unanimous declaration, vowing to restore Maria to her former glory and cleanse the realms of any impurity.
Elara, a vampire-werewolf hybrid living in secrecy. Elara's storyline runs parallel to the Bloodsworn's and provides an empathetic view of the hybrids' plight.
The Bloodsworn's next mission is clear: They have caught wind of Elara and her community of hybrids, and they're preparing for a raid.
As the Bloodsworn chant grows louder and more intense, with Elara's bright eyes glowing in the darkness, hinting at the imminent clash between the Bloodsworn and the hybrids.
