"When the sun births a daughter and the moon claims her heart, the Hollow will breathe again."
— Fragment from The Lunar Prophecies
Every legend has its spine — a line that connects every sin, every sacrifice, and every rebirth.
For Blackridge Hollow, that spine is the Lunar Bloodline — the descendants of Aurelia Voss, the priestess who forged the Covenant of Silence and vanished beneath the frozen lake.
The bloodline runs like moonlight through centuries: rare, luminous, and perilous to follow.
Those born under it carry a mark unseen to mortal eyes — a silver pulse beneath the skin, beating only when the moon is full.
The Origin: Aurelia Voss
Aurelia was not merely a priestess; she was the First Lunar Vessel — chosen by the moon itself to be the bridge between shadow and flesh.
Her blood was unlike any other. When she bled, it shimmered white. When she prayed, the night stilled to listen.
It is said that her union with Lucien D'Arcy, before his transformation, created the seed of the Lunar Lineage — a merging of mortal warmth and immortal curse.
When she vanished after sealing the Covenant, her body was never found. But every century, a girl bearing her eyes — that strange, silvery hue — is born within the Hollow.
The Daughters Through the Ages
1. Selina Voss (1770–1798)
The first recorded heir after Aurelia. Born during a lunar eclipse that turned the river white.
She could see spirits in the mist and spoke with the wolves as though they were kin.
She died at twenty-eight, her heart pierced by silver — a death too deliberate to be chance. Her blood was buried beneath the church altar.
2. Mirielle Voss (1845–1882)
A scholar, not a mystic. She rebuilt the town's library and translated the old Covenant scrolls.
Before her death, she wrote a single line in her journal:
"The moon is not a god. It is a wound that never healed."
3. Evelyn Voss (1912–1965)
The last publicly known Lunar heir. She was said to heal with touch — until the night she burned down her own house, claiming the moon told her to.
She disappeared during the Red Moon of 1965. No remains were found.
Her daughter, Lydia Voss, fled the Hollow soon after.
The Silence Generation
Lydia Voss moved far from Blackridge Hollow and changed her name.
She married, had one child — Elara — and told her nothing of their family's history.
But destiny does not forget names, only hides them.
The Hollow calls to its own.
And when Elara dreams of blood moons and silver lakes, it is not imagination — it is memory.
The Power of the Lunar Blood
The Lunar Bloodline possesses a dual nature — the balance of life and death, wolf and vampire, day and night.
It grants those who carry it both power and curse:
The Moon's Call — heightened senses, dreams that foretell blood and betrayal.
The Silver Vein — the ability to influence both vampire and werewolf alike, bending instinct and hunger.
The Heart Mirage — when one of Lunar blood loves, their emotions manifest in the world around them — storms, silence, fire, or frost.
But each gift demands payment.
Every Lunar heir dies young, or disappears under the Red Moon.
Elias Thorn's Discovery (2002)
"The birth records were erased. All except one—'Elara L. Voss, born under a blood moon, heartbeat irregular.'"
"The old journals claim she is the convergence—what they called the Lunar Requiem—the blood meant to end or renew the Covenant."
"Her return is no accident. The Hollow is waking."
The Prophecy of the Silver Heart
From the last page of The Lunar Prophecies:
"When the moon bleeds thrice and the Hollow breathes anew,
A daughter of light and shadow will rise.
Three shall love her—one of sun, one of blood, one of fang.
Her choice will crown the night or burn it."
Many scholars dismissed the verse as romantic folklore.
But the vampires remember.
The wolves still whisper it to their pups.
And somewhere in the manor, Lucien D'Arcy still waits — watching the moon for the girl whose blood may finally end his curse.
Closing Words
The Lunar Bloodline is not a family. It is a cycle — love and loss reborn through the centuries.
Each daughter inherits the same heart: one that beats for peace in a world built on blood.
And now, that heart beats again — in Elara Voss.
When she walks beneath the moon, the Hollow stirs.
The Covenant trembles.
And the night, for the first time in centuries, begins to hope.
