A Covenant of Justice
“The creature has a symbiotic relationship with its hosts. When injected into a body, the phage produces a paralyzing enzyme. A large injection will produce paralysis within minutes. With a small injection, the paralysis will take much longer and will occur as a series of increasingly severe attacks, a condition we call the blood-burn. In either case, the same result occurs. The victim falls into a paralytic coma.
“Depending on the metabolism of the victim, the paralyzing enzyme produces a reper...toire of effects to varying degree. First, it softens the blood and the tissues for the Vampire’s delicate palate. Second, the enzymes also act as a preservative so that the prey survives for a long long time in its cocoon. This allows the Vampire to feed at leisure.
“The female Vampire has no poison in her bite, but she does have the same immunity to the enzyme that the male has. This means that Vampires cannot hurt each other with their bites—although I will admit that unsavory rumors of cannibalism among the young males continue to persist.MoreLess
