In the beginning of this chapter, I really wanted to delve into Marius' backstory a little more to reveal some of his past in order to give insight to some of the Gods that the human race worshiped as well as the land of Equestria in his time, known back then as the land of Alon' Dar. (thumbs up to whoever gets that reference ) I'll reveal more as the story progresses. Also a huge thanks to Dark Rabbit Inganno for the idea of Lyre. He will be a large character in the development of the story. Criticism and ideas about the story welcome in the comments. Hope you enjoyed!!

Just like a general op vampire mixed with a teddy bear. :D

Oh boy, shit is going to go down. Also, I hope Marius doesn't crush Lyra's dreams and make her stop researching humans.

simply exquisite .......feels like a show......I LOVES IT also the first part reminds me of the hound and the mountain from game of thrones

alon'dar does sound familiar

honestly this fic is top notch

behold Y U NO ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

also here is an interesting poem sorta thing for inspiration WOOH
Take my advice,
Follow MY path.
Hold on to your hatred,
Bask in your wrath.

Crusade of fire,
Chaos will rise!
Ignore the sisters,
I see past their lies.

I have survived,
Through deception and pain.
I ignore other's doubt,
They call me insane.

"Too long he has lived,"
"Stop him we must!"
I will burn them to ashes,
I WILL TURN THEM TO DUST.

I love ponies! I love vampires! I love you! *huggles*

1099191 Haha I like that. Cuddly Vampiric Teddy Bear of Death.

1099264 Indeed it will be!! and I can promise you that he won't crush Lyra's hopes and dreams and he will indeed become fond of her like the other ponies, just can't say any more than that though.

1099362 Thanks youz so much Inganno!! You gave me the aweome idea for Lyre so you should get some of the credit as well I'm an avid Game of Thrones viewer and incorporate a lot of that influence into my writing. Also why the Y U NO? and I love the poem. Did you write it?

1100000 I thank you for the love and *huggles* and return them to you in full!! *huggles*

Avatar Pony : By the way, my name's Kris. *Trots away, dragging me*

1100654 They call me Josh, but Chain or Chain Reaction for short. PM me anytime if you have suggestions about Feral and whatnot.

1100679
hey chain im back....sorta took a 4 hour nap

the Y U NO was for kicks nothing serious and i wanted to show you the face

sadly no i did not write the poem , i just stumbled upon it..........did it help?

1100844 No biggie man, believe me, I know how awesome midday naps are from personal experience. , and I love the Y U No Kinda wanna use it to express why Feral doesn't have more thumbs up, but the story's going to be VERY long and I'm quite patient. The poem actually did help alot. Helped me muscle through a paragraph I was having writer's block on in the next chapter. so thank ya!!

these are from dark souls ......an insanely hard game.......
and i beat it
if you have no idea as to what dark souls is, look it up when you can..............it induces rage quits

1101132 Sweet Celestia, I think playing that game for a month straight took 3 years off of my lifespan I love the pics though

1101182
how far did you get?

and YAY QUICKLY GRAB MY SUMMON SIGN!111!

1101207 I got up to where I was about to beat Gwyn, and then my PS3 crashed, corrupting the game data. I think I was about to throw my console out the window.

1101235
wow i am truly saddened for you.......I SHALL SLAY THE BELL GARGOYLE IN YOUR NAME.........in new game +
im screwed

1101254 Ha thank you my friend.

1101296
ironically......i just killed and rung the bell.......wow that was easy.......seriously

sooooo......how goes the writing of the story and stuffs?

1101369 I'm going to PM you about that, if that's ok with you.

1101393
roger that commander

Any chance at any of the vampire underlings of the Main vampire surviving?

1102316 If by 'Main' vampire, you mean Marius, then there could be.

1102372 Yurp, that's what I meant, would said underling vampires also be underlings of Rarity, if their Masters Master is Rarity?

1102382 Only if they wanted to try and rival Marius, which would mean confrontation between himself and the undead who would challenge his superiority.

1102395

1102405 Indeed there is great honor among those who are dead yet walk in the realm of the living.

1102412 Conflict, conflict, conflict....

1103012 I will as quick as I can. Promise!!

1103153 Thank you very much Ragdoll! Your input is awesome as always! I fixed Lyre's line and changed it to 'least'. Thanks for pointing that out. Like I said before, I'm trying to get their personalities in the fic as similar to the show as possible, and there is a very good reason why everything Marius does is backed up with scientific evidence and that will be addressed in later chapters. Thank you so much for being one of my most devoted viewers!!

I do love this story, not im going to watch hellsing lol

1108225 Thanks!! I love Hellsing. One of my top 3 favorite anime's of all time.

1099191 le gasp! its you again! or is it me? im not sure.....
anyway great story so far chain
also im betting luna will like him more then celestia

1108334 Haha Well, I can't promise anything. Thank you very much though!

This is officially one of the most badass vampire fics i've read! Please keep going with this!

On a side note.... vampire vs.... basically the sun....... how will this turn out??

1110597 Thank you very much!! and you shall see in the next chapter

1110622
I think celestia and him will be..... more along the lines of acquaintances like they know each other but not really on friend basis. He loves the night so i think he a luna will be friends

1110654 Good guess. We'll see in the chapter I post tomorrow.

1110673
I read tomorrow and you just made my day

1110682 Haha. I'm glad I could make your day

1124288 That's what my friend CJ said. I never watched the movie, but once I did I saw the similarities. Marius and Lyre at that time were 28 and 27 years old, though.

1099362 this poem....... its sinsterly beautiful...... did u write this? and if you did.... may i use it? this fits literally dead on to a pony i know

oh.... and good chapter too Chain

1292507 Thankies. Inganno said he didn't write it when I asked him about it, but I'm sure if you PM him or something he could tell you the source.

Ok, so, the OOCness of the diamond dogs is part of the plot. That's one discrepancy down.

You're descriptions are getting better too.

Really loving it so far.

Hahaha I just love how you made Lyra so human obsessed and Sweetie Belle is just too adorable here

"Spike! She is the Princess and ruler of Equestria. If anypony can stay rational in this situation it's her. Trust me."

Uh huh... Hm.

"We need to get to Ponyville. Immediately."

You were saying Twilight?

What would make this better was if this was Kuroshitsuji crossover.
