Chapter 5 - THE FORBIDDEN RESEARCH: DISCOVERED AFTER 1,000 YEARS

Translation of damaged scripts found in the Valley of Bones.

A week ago, scholars uncovered a stone tablet written in a language older than any human kingdom.

Most of its words were lost, cracked, or erased…

but a few sentences were translated.

What we found changed everything we know about vampires.

---

1. "LOYAL TO ONE PARTNER" — A TRUTH WITH A TWIST

Modern humans believe vampires love only one partner forever.

That is true…

…but their eternal loyalty was never meant for humans.

The ancient scripture says:

> "Their heart binds only to their own kind.

To choose a human is an accident of destiny —

and a danger."

A vampire's devotion is powerful…

but unpredictable when directed at a fragile creature like a human.

---

2. A MAGIC NO HUMAN CAN DETECT

One line from the tablet shocked researchers:

> "They drink not only blood…

they drink memories."

It means vampires can alter human memories without leaving a trace.

You would never know.

Your:

best friend of two years,

someone you trust deeply,

or even a child you raised…

could be a vampire wearing a perfect mask of false memories.

Scientists fear this part of the translation is accurate:

> "The human brain forgets what it cannot survive."

Meaning:

If a vampire changes something in your memory,

your brain simply accepts the new reality.

3. THE "MISSING YEARS" PHENOMENON

Researchers began checking cases of:

unexplained memory gaps

friendships that appear "suddenly"

children with no birth records

humans who feel a strange connection to someone they barely know

The pattern is identical to the ancient text.

In every case, there is one possibility:

A vampire has rewritten a piece of their life.

4. THE MOST TERRIFYING LINE OF THE TABLET

A section half-broken but still readable says:

> "When they love a human,

they do not ask permission.

They shape the world to keep them close."

It explains SO much:

Why some people feel like they "knew" someone before meeting them

Why a child appears "different" from their family

Why someone feels an unexplainable fear or closeness to a stranger

Why certain people cannot remember their early childhood clearly

Vampires do not take memories out of cruelty —

they do it to protect their bond.

But the human never knows.

---

5. A WARNING FROM THE RESEARCHERS

The final part of the translation simply says:

> "Look carefully at those who never change.

Look carefully at those who always find you."

It suggests vampires do not age in obvious ways.

They blend in by altering memories around them —

not their own body.

---

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE NEW GENERATION

Humans today are weak in magic.

We cannot sense the presence of vampires the way ancient humans did.

So the truth is simple:

A vampire may already be in your life.

A friend.

A lover.

A child.

Someone you trust.

And you would never know

— because the memory you rely on might not be your own.
