.-.-.-.-. 

Born we are from 

life and death's love.

Different from our parents we are

for our poisonous blood

protect us from their bite.

.-.-.-.

Vampires fear us,

few humans know about our existence.

Vampires are willing to eliminate us,

few humans are willing to help us.

.-.-.-.

The vamphum is long-lived;

its nature is so vagrant

as the human adventurers.

The damphir lives like a human;

it mixes easily among humans.

.-.-.-.

The vamphum can live centuries,

the damphir can live decades. 

The vamphum feeds on vampire blood,

the damphir rarely feeds on human blood.

.-.-.-.

We are the result of two worlds' union.

We are the witnesses of History.

We are part of the Mankind itself.
