Solbearers: Part 4- Pitch Meeting
Cassandra was sitting on her flight to Tokyo. Buibui told her he hated the cold so she wondered how he was holding up in the cargo area he had snuck and telepathed his way into. But he said he'd be fine so Cassandra trusted him. Just as Buibui trusted her gut instinct that they should go to Japan before America to meet a talent agency CEO. For a beautiful woman and an ancient spider vampire there was a bizarre amount of trust between them but Cassandra's life had been so strange as of late that she was willing to follow her instincts. Despite her stress she dozed off for most of the long flight.

Solbearers: Part 3-Leviathan
Cassandra's training had been paying off. Deeper dives led to more frequent kills and sometimes multiple kills in one dive. She didn't normally hunt in the daytime but she had hoped catch a lair of her nocturnal prey off guard. She inhaled from a canister of pure oxygen intent on exploring an underwater cave she saw the mouth of two nights before. As she dived deeper and deeper the daylight was filtered out and her flashlight became neccesarry. Struggling to recall the exact way to the cave she eventually reached it. She dimmed her flashlight as she entered. Even with the minimal light she could see manmade artifacts inside the cave. A boat anchor, a large chain and scrap metal were among the things that likely could not have been carried there by nature. Cassandra was confident this was some sort of nest for the creatures. Then fear gripped her as she saw one of the creatures asleep and much larger than any she had seen before. She did not know if her knife would be enough for this one. Before she could formulate a plan she felt she was being watched. In an instant of pure instinct she did a 180 degree turn and put the full strength beam of her flashlight in a mid sized two legged creatures' face. Shielding its eyes it froze in place. Eyes closed it then barrelled into Cassandra and they both collided with the oversized monster. Emitting a growl that sounded strange and muffled by the water the giant awoke. The creature that looked daunting to kill when asleep now looked like an impossible target. Worse still two more monsters were near to the large one. Trying to suppress her panic she thought of how consistently she had seen the creatures scatter when she had killed one of there kind. She though if she could kill the one who had blindly crashed into her the rest would flee. She pinned its leg with her speargun and as it looked down to get unstuck Cassandra rammed her knife through the back of it's skull far enough that the knife's tip poked out of the creature's mouth. Two of the creatures hurried deeper into the cave as Cassandra hoped but the large one made the same horrible noise and charged at her. Cassandra shot a spear shallowly in the beast's chest and swam towards the cave's mouth. At first she thought she was faster than it, but it was soon gaining on her when it let go of the anchor Cassandra had seen on the cave floor earlier. She felt it grip her leg and slam her into the cave's wall. Her desire to scream intensified but she knew she had to hold what air she could. It was no use it was catching up. She turned to stand and fight with the silver knife in her right hand. It grew closer with its mouth open. In an instant Cassandra saw the chain she spotted earlier was actually attached to the beast and as it snagged tight it changed the monster's trajectory. In a horrifying split second the thing's cavernous mouth found Cassandra's left hand and devoured it. Cassandra's vision went blurry and searing pain set in. With the chain keeping the beast in place she was no longer racing against it. Instead she raced death. Could she swim fast enough to not bleed out or drown? To this day Cassandra can only recall bits and pieces of what came next. Racing to the surface with her wounded arm tucked tightly between her other arm and midsection. Washing up on shore. The hospital. Cussing out Alex. Arriving home.

Solbearers: Part 1-Prologue 3: Jesse Lafontaine
Jesse wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had hoped the strange September heat-wave would have ended in time for his current camping trip but his hopes weren't met. Nevertheless, him and Danny were still out in the woods and they planned to stay a few more nights. The inside of the tent was dark but light enough to see Danny was gone. Jesse figured that Danny had stepped out to smoke or to

Solbearers: Part 1-Prologue 2: Shinji Miyazaki
Everything happened so fast once Shinji had received the letter. Weeks of big changes had passed like a blur of moments. Relief of knowing they would not struggle with money ever again and carrying his mother around in celebration. His somewhat emotionless response at the funeral of the father he barely knew. Meetings with lawyers. And finally, moving himself and his mother into seperate apartments within his new company's headquater complex. However, this was only the start to how strange Shinji's life would soon become. As he sat at his office's decadent desk what looked like 3 Buddhist monks walked through the the ornate double doorway towards him.

Solbearers: Part 1-Prologue 1: Cassandra Calimeris
Cassandra slept a restless sleep. Plagued with nightmares. Images of a creature with rows upon rows of teeth. The feeling of being crushed and water filling her lungs. Then she awoke. Drenched with sweat. Her supernaturally green eyes clouded with tears, long black hair slightly stuck to her face. The missing persons reports in her town were clearly weighing heavy on her mind. She stepped out of her seaside home and workshop and smelling the sea air calmed her. Out in the sea the moonlight illuminated the face of a shockingly handsome man. No. Not a man something horrible. Something Cassandra had seen in her nightmares. As soon as she thought to take a photo it was gone. Shaken and unsure of what she saw she went back inside, grabbed the largest knife from her kitchen drawer and fought sleep on the couch for as long as she could. She woke up. Kitchen knife on the floor. She had seen the creature in her sleep again. But this time it was calmer. Not a nightmare, just a dream. In it she saw a weapon, a hunting knife with brilliant silver blade. And with it she pierced the creature's heart. Cassandra decided it wasn't a dream afterall, it was a plan.

Invented Original Characters: Leech Vampires
Growing up my dream job was to be a comic book artist/writer. But with very little artistic talent that dream died pretty quickly. Now I do my best to bring my characters to life using apps like factory of heroes, swordmaker, armormaker, you doodle and photo cutout. They don't always turn out looking very good but I get more excited about the concepts and stories behind the characters than how well I can make the character look good. Sometimes my characters are from cultures I am not a part of because I think it fits their story or other aspects about them. I am not a cultural expert but at the very least I hope no one is upset by me using aspects of cultures I'm not a part of and find interesting. That said below is my idea for leech themed vampires.
