Drake smiled a bit and nodded.<br/>"Yes, regular relationships are not something that is highly sought after as a vampire.  I tried once...a long time ago and it didn't end well.  Not something I would like to live through once more."<br/>He said as he kept the neutral look on his face but there was an unfathomable amount of pain in his eyes as he gave a fake smile then the look was gone as he blinked and looked at the Roman armor.<br/><br/>"I keep that armor as a memory of what I once was.  That was the last thing I was wearing as my last day as a human.  I was run through on the battle field facing a band of barbarians who were threatening our city.  I was a young lad then, only twenty three.  I was arranged to wed a village girl...Sophia.  Sweet female, very caring in nature.  I never saw her again after that..."<br/>He said as he stared at the armor.<br/>"Anyways.  I was dying and my Sire found me.  He was in the Roman army as well and offered me a chance to get back at the Barbarians on my own terms.  The only catch was...I had to leave everything behind.  My family, my Empire...everything.  I was dying and I was young...so I agreed and here I am...many many years later."<br/><br/>He said with a smirk as he shook his head.<br/>"I ended up going to see Sophia once but my Sire caught wind of it and killed her before I could see her.  So, I killed my Sire and mourned Sophia properly."
