Please know that I do not feel this way about humans anymore, Vladimir, as knowing Nelly has most certainly changed my point of view of what wonderful beings humans are. I just wanted to illustrate that the majority of vampires do feel superior to humans. It is greatly frowned on by all of the Elysian councils for a vampire to interact with humans in any way that acknowledges them as our equals.

Marks are generally given to vampires by their creator (but for the few who are abandoned by their creators early onâor as occurred in your case, but I believe yours is a unique one). As with glyphs, the vampire must feed his intention into his bite in order for the Mark to be effective. This, of course, leaves the creator with a certain amount of control over the vampire he has Marked, but as it is such a minimal amount, very few ever utilize it. (Please do not have concerns about this, VladimirâI respect you and will not utilize that small amount of control unless your life depends on it.) Removing one's Mark not only breaks a vampire's bond with his or her creator, but also severs the bond with all of Elysia.
