Underworld

""Of the scores of brave souls who entered Lucian's fortress, a single Vampire survived: Kraven, who was richly rewarded for not only setting the great blaze, but for returning with evidence of the Lycan Master's demise: The branded skin, cut from Lucian's very arm."

"Please forgive me, but I desperately need your guidance. I apologise for breaking the Chain and awakening you ahead of schedule, but I fear we may all be in grave danger. Especially you, my Lord, if left in you weakened state. For I believe that Lucian is alive and well. Here, now, in this very city, preparing to hit us during the Awakening ceremony. Even more disturbing, is that if I am correct, then it would mean that Kraven is in league with him.""

""It wasn't the Lycans... it was you!"

""Though I cannot predict the future, the consequences of this night will reverberate through the halls of both Great Covens for many years to come. Two Vampire Elders have been slain, one by my own hand. Soon, Marcus will take the throne, and a tide of anger and retribution will spill out into the night. Differences will be set aside. Allegiances will be made. And soon, I will become the hunted."

"I know what started the war"

"We were slaves once. The daylight guardians of the Vampires. I was born into servitude. Yet I harbored them no ill will. Even took a Vampire for my bride. It was forbidden, our union. Viktor feared a blending of the species. Feared it so much he killed her. His own daughter... Burnt alive for loving me. This is his war - Viktor's, and he's spent the last 600 years exterminating my species."

"You may have killed me, cousin, but my will is done, regardless!"

"You're acting like a pack of rabid DOGS! And that, gentlemen, simply will not do. Not if you expect to defeat the Vampires on their own ground. Not if you expect to survive at all. Pierce! Taylor! Put some clothes on, will you?"
