No! You tell lies. I know this is not true. Why...you would kill me with but a single blow. This is why I must be a vampire. To have that strength I know you possess. Clearly, you do not think enough of me to allow me this power. You, who could kill me with a single blow, must understand my desire for your power. Show me!

Enough! You, who are so powerful, must laugh at me? If I only had the strength to kill you...but you could kill me with a single blow. This is why I must be a vampire! Get out! Mock me no longer!

I know you are strong! All vampires are powerful...and feared...and death incarnate! I know you are strong. I know you cannot be bested by a mere mortal! That is all I desire! I will not rest until that power is mine.

No! No no no no no! You don't listen! I have the strength of my resolve. I have strength of will! I will not end my quest until I have the physical powers to crush my enemies! You have that power. I know you do! You are strong. You must be! No mortal can stand against you!

You talk in circles! There is loneliness in this life as well! Why will you not listen to me? You have strength that I need! Let me join you! I want power to crush man and mer, just as you have!

But...no! I am far from stupid! Why will you not listen to me? I know the power you must have! I must share in that strength! I know you are strong! I want to be one of you!

Pain? But...of course, Dark One. Pain to the mortals we will prey upon! I will slay them without mercy. I will walk the night with true power. I will kill all those who will not show me respect.

Ridiculous? You...! No, I see. You wish to test me. I am worthy, Dark One. Please, you must believe me. I will wield my power with no remorse. I will make other mortals tremble at my sight. I want power such as you have. You could crush me with your hands with barely an effort. I need this power!

Of course. Respect, like the respect you get. Like the respect all vampires must get from we ridiculous mortals. I must be like you. It is the power that I crave. Power to be able to crush any mortal man who would dare oppose me!

Foolish? Of course. I realize it must seem so to one of your stature. I know you must look at we mortals as foolish, but I know better. I know that I should be one of your dark brotherhood. Your kind is more powerful than I could ever dream of being.

Yes, that is what I wish to do. To taste the blood of the living. To walk the night at will, feeling the power coursing through my veins. I wish to join you, to become truly powerful and respected. I wish to kill mortals and bathe in their blood.
