Chapter Three - 3.1 Our Bloodline

I am ill, sad, heart broken and joyful at the same time. These emotions are overwhelming. My memory is relapsing, then fading. It's time again for me to fade away into nothingness and escape...

I have heard news from the witch doctor that the blood that flows through my veins have mutated over generations. I am not normal now, nor I have ever been. Apparently, my ancestors have angered the Gods of Haema and our family have been cursed. In order to continue our ancestral bloodline I must marry a knight of pure blood.

There are four major clans in our world, which made up of all races, however, the majority of us are from the Mediterranean (in particularly Maldives and Cyprus), Arabs and Asian land. The four clans are as follows:

• the pure blood clan
• the alpha- clan
• the beta- clan
• and delta- clan

I am part of the alpha- clan. Wonder if this is the reason for my alpha-A personality type.

Since I am to find a knight of pure blood, I consulted with the oracle and this is what he suggest...

Pure blood knights are mostly found Northern Europe and least found in Africa. I am also to avoid any encounters with Egyptian kings, residing in Beja, Hadendoa, Sa'idi and also, those from the Nile Delta and Red Sea Hill region.

On a positive note, the curse is also a blessing. Apparently, our people have a special trait which protects us from diseases like malaria, anemia and disease of the heart. I honestly don't believe the latter portion as I believe my heart is as good as broken.

Overall, the benefit of belonging to the clan is one reason why our clan is still so prevalent, giving it's survival advantage.
