Artemis stopped as well, feeling that he would be unable to shake this one as he had the vampire. "I do not doubt that your clan has fought the vampires, as we all have. But my clan does not wish to be great. We merely wish to continue our existence, as brutal and bloody as it may be, with the vampires of our region. Perhaps one day there shall be peace and in that time, with generations of savage nature bred into us, we will no doubt destroy ourselves, but much is the nature of beasts."<br/><br/>Watching look again, he shook his head. "No, I would never hold such desires. The power the comes at leading a clan is too great. Our clan is split among packs, a type of ruling council. If I so choose, I may face my brothers in open combat for the leadership of that pack but that is all the higher one can rise within our clan. Elders have no use to us as their bones scattered the fields in my region."
