Way of the Vampire

Interesting as it is, the Abyss and the Sanctuary are one and the same. This will be explained in great detail as you journey through the times ahead. However, at this conjuncture we will realise that as there are nine gates, we would assume that to follow, there would be nine Akhkharu at each perfect point? This is clearly not the case at all, for the Nine gates have eight Akhkharu. For Raphael is first the teacher at the first gate of acceptance, and as a guide and teacher, remains at the Ninth Gate to test your willingness to travel further to join with Shamsiel, the Highest Sphere.
Therefore, the house of Vampires, or rather Upir Likhyi, exist for the purpose of destiny, the purpose that those whom come to know will come to dare, and those whom come to dare will know of all within without.
