The Complex Emotional Journey of a Born Nephilim Vampire: My Story as Terra Henig


Being a born nephilim vampire is no ordinary existence. My father, an angel involved in the original vampirism, and my mother, an Amazonian turned into a vampire while pregnant with me, made sure of that. This extraordinary blend of supernatural elements has left me with a myriad of complex emotions.

One might think that immortality and supernatural powers come with a sense of belonging, but my case is quite the opposite. I was born into this world, unlike the majority of vampires I encounter who were sired. The time difference of thousands of years only adds to the complexity. You see, my mother time-traveled to this age, where all the vampires I know have already been sired.

This unique background has led to a perpetual feeling of isolation. I often question my origins, my purpose, and the choices my parents made. It's a journey that's laden with identity confusion, as I grapple with hiding the fact that I was born rather than sired.

Interacting with other supernatural beings is a delicate balance. I'm always cautious not to reveal the truth about my birth, as it could lead to unwanted attention or even danger. At times, I can't help but feel a sense of curiosity and empathy toward other vampires, even though our experiences and timelines are worlds apart.

My story is one of secrecy, self-discovery, and navigating the complexities of a world where I must hide my true nature from those who might not understand. It's a journey that I'm still uncovering, and I look forward to sharing more of my experiences on this blog.

The falling leaves are a reminder of our shared journey of self-discovery. Just as the trees shed their leaves, I shed the layers of my past, embracing my present and future with grace and poise. In November, I stand at the cusp of change, much like the world around me. As the...

I. Origins of the -Vampire Myth

The vampire myth has woven itself into the fabric of human folklore for millennia, captivating our imaginations with its eerie allure. But where did this macabre legend begin? To trace the origins of the vampire myth, we must embark on a journey through time and culture, exploring the ancient vampire-like beings that laid the foundation for the modern vampire we know today. Ancient Beginnings: Our quest takes us back to the cradle of civilization, Mesopotamia, where the first tendrils of the vampire myth took root. In this ancient land, stories of "Lilitu" emerged. These malevolent entities, often depicted as female demons, would seduce and harm men while they slept. Lilitu bore an uncanny resemblance to the seductive and bloodthirsty vampires of later lore, as they preyed upon unsuspecting victims under the cover of darkness. Turning our gaze eastward, we encounter the "Jiangshi," creatures from Chinese folklore. These reanimated corpses were driven by ...
