From the staff here at the Lair...
Hello and welcome to Dream Teller's blog.
Everyone here is busy doing their part for the people who suffered in the Gulf Coast hurricane that has crippled that area. And while we are only maintaining a skeleton crew here at the Lair, Dream Teller has directed us to try and update the posts, as time allows. Not much of that; time, given the situation. So we will fo our best.
You heard last from the Warlock Gregory; felt some of his frustration through his words. What you probably don't know is that his own family and home were affected by the storm. Certainly, not to the degree as many were affected but all the same... Yet, he and his family are out there in the thick of things helping the hardest hit victims, doing all they can possibly do to prevent already traumatized folks from falling victim to another type of horrendous disaster.
If you've been following our posts then you know of what I speak. The human criminal element is the least of folks' worries. There is a whole other contingent of criminal element that is using the situation to their advantage. Lower echelon Vampyres and Werewolves, rogues of both types, some running in packs and others who hunt, alone; dehumanized beasts of prey. Worse, some of those Vampyres have with them the unholy; demons, from the Netherworld. Those savage beasts are used as soldiers, purveyors of humanity. Their masters control them with heinous promises of what demon's most desire; souls. It boils down to a bartering system; flesh and blood, for souls.
Imagine this scenario if you can: folks already in dire straights being lured in by promises of food, shelter, and other much needed aid. Approached by what appears to them to be kind and helpful strangers, humans, who pick and choose their quarry and tell them they are more deserving of help than others, the innocent are so desperate they don't stop to wonder why they were singled out from among the huge masses. Where, before, these charlatans had to stalk their prey at great risk of being discovered, their prey stands on every street-cornor, is trapped on rooftops, is wading through filthy water, and sitting among ruble of what was their life. Easy pickings; the needy. Now, imagine the promises that are made to those poor suffering individuals; something along the lines of "God has deserted you in your time of need". I think you can take it from there.
The sad truth is that in such dire circumstances the traumatized are willing to do what is generally difficult to get most humans to do; promise their souls in exchange for the promised gloryland where they will receive all the water, food, clothes, shelter, and money they desire. Seem impossible that someone would fall for that line? Not at all. Many of these innocents were poor to begin with; without real means to take care of their families and self. They are further fooled when their stalker easily produces immediate enducements, a bottle of water, a sandwich... Do the math. If you are starving, thirsty, hurt... Thus, they are easily led into the trap from which they cannot escape. The demons have their promised souls, which they can only get by delivering their human cargo to the Vampyre master who will torture them and dine upon them until death releases those souls to their second captors.
Whole famililes are being delivered into that hell. But only the souls of consenting adults are at risk for no one can barter another' s soul. Children's souls cannot be bartered for, thus those small innocents suffer the savagery of the Vampyre or Werewolf, but their souls are freed to go to a higher plane. At least their suffering is over.
If any good is derived of this natural disaster it is that those lawless humans preying upon their own Kind are the easiest to lure into the trap. Their street-smarts in no way prepare them for the far-more intelligent beasts who prey upon them. In fact, they are something of a game, toyed with, if you will, before they are brought to their knees. Poetic justice, I suppose. They face far worse than what they've been doing to others. But, as has been pointed out here so many times, it is the children, the true innocents, that the Vampyres most desire.
On top of all of that, there are rogue satanic cults out there seeking the same. They, too, do business with the scum of the world's underbelly; bartering, exchanging goods for goods; humanity. They prey upon children of all ages, particularly virginal children of both genders. Naturally, that equates to the very young. Most prized by them are the few, older children; adolescents and teenagers, who remain virginal. The older the virgin, the more powerful the benefits to the practicioner of satanism and the Black Arts. Get it?
Another scenario: the adolescent or teen who has been separated from family and friends by this disaster. Imaginge a kind stranger on the scene who promises to help them find their family, who produces water and food... Imagine the young girl or boy packed into the superdome, or wandering through sewage in allies and streets, where there are no lights. In danger of being raped by other human vermin, someone steps out of the darkness and saves them... Do the math.
You might wonder how the unholy would know who is virginal and who is not. It is a simple matter for them; touching the innocent's mind, and getting whatever information they need. Those with supernatural powers easily move about the population by disguising themselves either as humans, or merely by remaining invisible to the human eyes. Frightening isn't it? The darkness is their cover, their shield, from behind which they carry out their covert operations. Factor in human fear and desperation and the disaster areas provides them with a playground; easy pickings. Goes to the very roots of one's religious beliefs, doesn't it?
But as horrible as it seems, you must remember that where choices were made by consenting adults, regardless of their situation, they willfully bartered their souls. Where innocent children are involved, those children reap higher rewards that far outweigh their human suffering. Non-consenting adults who are snatched off the streets by the more beastly types (yes, there are degrees of beastliness), bare no blame for their circumstances, unless they plead for their lives by bartering their souls. Folks, life is what it is and every human suffers some tragedy at some point in life. Relinquishing one's soul for a taste of water, food, or anything else is the basis for damnation. We all know it, though many deny it.
So you can see that Mother Nature's havoc set the scene for something far worse. And that worst is what we and our commrades attempt to prevent. Sadly, there aren't enough of us to prevent all, but we do our best to see that those situations aren't allowed to arise. We preach the keeping of one's faith, whatever persuasion that is, particularly in dire straits. Suffering the fallout from such a storm is no acceptable reason for selling one's soul to the highest bidder.
There are many, many predators out there; all types and Kinds, lost souls who will eventually get their just dues for their sins. Immortals are not exempt, any more than mortals are. Vampyres and Werewolves are not indestructible, as many assume. They have their vulnerabilities, and eventually they will cease to exist, by one method or another. The predators have thrown caution to the wind. They have the same opportunities as others of their Kinds; the opportunity to do good for all. It is their choice, for they know they stand to face the same wrath or kindness as their kin who do good. The desparity of skill and power among all Kinds is not the issue, but the quality of being, and of right and wrong.
So many times, the bid for forgiveness is made of the desparity of culture, stations in life, race, hardships, and so forth. When it comes down to salvation, those are no defense, regardless of Kind. Enough said?
Now, I would like to take a moment to address other issues. The type of situation going on at this minute brings out other vermin, of the human variety. Those predators are preying among us as we speak. They are the thieves who use the situation as a cover to defraud the public. They come in all shapes and sizes, vermin who seek to part you from your money. They purport to be fund raisers for the victims of the storm. Don't be taken in. They have powerful tools of persuasion, particularly the internet and the phone system. Give and give freely, but not to a nameless, faceless individual or corporation. Don't give out your bank account number, credit card number, or any other personal source of finance. Give directly to known organizations, Red Cross; church of your choice; Salvation Army, and so forth. Be wise, otherwise those you intend helping will not see a penny of your money, and you will become a victim of identity theft. If we are careful, we can stop those types dead in their tracks with very little effort and remove them from the equation. So take care, and please, help in whatever capacity you can. Blessings to you all.
