PALL

“MEANING THAT SHE IS TRULLY GRATEFULL

CAN TAKE. WITHOUT SHAME, HESITATION OR MERCY. ALLIANCES
MUST BE RECIPROCATED IN SUBSTANCE, ONLY PREDATORS TAKE
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. WHEN COMMED TO THAT, BETWEEN
MEN AND WOMEN, YOU MEN MUSTBE THE PREDATOR. WE ARE THE PREY.”
Vive la Différence
Vampire Hunters are a well stablished subculture. They have been familiar to us for much longer than they know themselves, since their means of register their own history is not better than those of the larger humanity, or most other cryptic secret societies. Like any subculture worth consideration they breed among themselves, almost exclusively, and have some inter-generational transmission of knowledge and skills. Also, they have some balance between the sexes, albeit, in their case, is far more common for men to end up entering the subculture.
The women in it are by the most part born from hunter lineages. Still, they do have a balance, broadly speaking, between Hermes and Aphrodite. So, to, speak. In their community.
Women, almost always, play the support roles. Far away from the actual hunting. The men are what we find trying to kill us. Almost exclusively them. Are you able to imagine why?
Of course, there is a need to protect women, because women are the ones who give birth to children. You can imagine their culture has a high mortality rate. Due to the “us” factor. That is a factor. Still, Vampire Hunters are part of the larger human culture whatever they happen to exist geographically. You still smell like a human yourself, that is how young you are as a nocturnal child. You must know what has been happening in the so called “West”,quote and quote, “Civilization”. Between men and women.
Why it didn’t reach the Hunter Clubs?
Oh, hunting vampire is a sort of frontline war. Worse for most objective parameters. Men are physically stronger, more resistant, have some extra stamina. Must be it, right?
Except our advantage over humans in that area is so absolute that those statistic differences make no actual difference. Vampire males gain more base-line advantages than girls, in the first night. Also, advance faster with the passage of time. In those same base-lines, physical capacities and vampiric compulsion. Still, the weakest vampire girl can dismember the stronger human male with her bare hands in her first weak as a children of the night. A male would do the same with a little less effort, but the result is identical.
Vampire Hunters trust cunning, surprise element, traps. Being underestimated in most cases is more useful to them than strength. Girls would at very least have a fair chance to be as efficient in killing vampires as human boys are. Physical differences considered.
The thing is, the one advantage vampire hunters have over the general human population. Where they exceed the average special-forces super-soldier and the spy. Is mental shield.
For all their history they have been developing particularly efficient exercises to protect their minds against vampiric powers of mind-control. Some is natural selection, that favours long lineages of hunters, nepo-baby Vamp Hunters. Much is genuine commitment, self-sacrifice. The core, is a self-hypnotic technology developed by attempt and error. Since the first quarter of the most recent Ice Age.
In the best cases, does not work perfectly at all. Gives the good hunters a fighting chance one-on-one, to resist the mental compulsion of vampires up to a thousand years old, give or take. Assuming that vampire do not have any additional powers of mind-control and manipulation granted by blood-seeds. Assuming the human is at the best of his performance and with a clear mind. Hunters usually do not hunt alone, and a well trained and hardened pack of hunters draws strength from this. Together they are stronger than the some of their parts.
Still, that is a dangerous game. After a few decades we start learning how to influence emotions and perceptions even at distance, without sound. Our voices can go far, there are disciplines to improve that even without use blood-seeds.
Fortunately for the hunters, most vampires they will ever met are less than 200 years old. And vast majority of them are not even Noble Vampires. Just feral, lowlife, bloodsuckers.
Still, the most important weapon of any vampire hunter is the mental-shield discipline.
It is almost completely ineffective for human females.
Go forward, and ask it! We both know you want to.
No. Has nothing to do with intelligence. Not even willpower in the conventional sense of the expression.
Is just that: men and women are different.
The entire organist of a women is configurated to be manhandled. Women are supposed to bend their knees and submit to imposition of a stronger will. First and foremost because the specie cannot afford having too many of them choosing fight-to-**** over humiliating slavery. I suppose.
We carry some of that with us, when we are turned. Of course, vampirism complicates the equation way too much. I am not going to talk about that right now. We don’t have the time.
You still have things to do, a certain question of a certain female friend of yours need answering. She is waiting, and I am sure you are eager to talk to the girl.
In vampire families we have the vampire core, and the human relatives of every generation. Not all who are born in the family will ever became vampires. We must consider many factors, and the limitation settle by out Nocturnal Court. Nevertheless, all our children are our children, including those who will age and die as humans.
We explain this to them, boys and girls, and we protect them against the disease born by the end of XIX century. There is no “equality” possible, or desirable, between men and women.
Those rare women who test their limits in the frontlines against vampires need to be extra-careful. Strike the fatal blow before being discovered. Have male companions to shield them. Rare items of alien or vampiric origin to give them that extra-edge. And even them, they are a liability.
If the vampire, male or female, manages to came close enough. They existence as a hunter is over. Where a male hunter would be distracted for a moment and killed, a women will be allowed to go seemingly untouched. Caring the seed of her corruption.
Because that seed cannot be found and destroyed as it would be in the case of a male hunter.
So, we do not expose our girls to unnecessary risk. We teach our boys to be their shields.
Like we teach our girls to bow to the men in the family. Submit to their judgement, advise them without try to compete with them. Our girls can trust our boys. You should always be worth that trust. Of females who are from your family. ONLY, those women should ever have reason to trust you. At best, the vampire ladies from allied or friendly Noble Vampire lineages as well.
Lewd sexual distractions or not. Respected the circumstances. We protect our own.
Any other women, human or vampire, well.
For those, we have a doctrine that you must learn as soon as possible.

Inside the Box
Cosmic Urban Fantasy
I am following what is turning into me general inclination, of tell short stories that may mix or not but paint a picture of a setting. At first vampires were supposed to be a secondary element, they are not that important in the first chapters. Now, as more chapters came, this is turning into a story about vampires with some other things in the background. In any case, I am dealing with the trope outside the usual biblical/mythic element. My primary frame here is Astronomic Time Scale, and that's where this "Cosmic" in the subtitle came from. I cannot really promise any "horror" and there is some minor light eroticism. Pretty pink glasses most the time. As optimist utopian flavour as I can go. Hope you like.
