Plot
Spring 1634: Unidentified Indians kill John Stone, a scurrilous Englishman and pirate. The English blame the Pequots and for two years Colonial-Pequot tensions remain high. 1636: Block Island Indians kill John Oldham. The English send an expedition to punish the Block Islanders and to demand John Stone's killers from the Pequots. Talks with the Pequots break down and violence erupts. The Pequots attack English settlements, and the English declare war on the Pequots -- the first declared war in America. 1637: English Puritans, with Mohegan and Narragansett allies, burn a Pequot village at Missituck (Mystic), massacring 400-700 men, women, and children. The English pursue the remaining Pequots until most are either killed or enslaved. Pequots are forbidden to use their tribal name and are subjugated to other Native Tribes allied with the English. With the help of sympathetic English leaders, they eventually are able to reestablish their own communities, which become the first Indian reservations in America.

Roger Williams: We have not our land by Patent of the King, but that the Natives are the true owners of it; and that we ought to repent of such receiving it by Patent.
Roger Williams: Boast not, proud English, of thy birth and blood; Thy brother Indian is by birth as good.
Miantonomo: We shall ALL be starved.
William Bradford: It was a fearful sight to see them thus frying in the fire, and the streams of blood quenching the same, and horrible was the stink and scent thereof.
Plot
In nineteenth century middle-Europe, orphaned teenage twins Maria and Frieda go to live with their uncle Gustav Weil, who heads the Brotherhood, a vigilante group trying to stamp out vampirism. But their methods are random and misplaced and the only result is a terrorised populace. The real threat lies with Count Karnstein, and although the twins seem outwardly to be identical, Frieda finds herself much more drawn than her sister to the Count's castle dominating the skyline.

Bastard cries, feed the fire. The burning desire to rob human life. In this
world full of fear of the unknown. Twisting the perception of the weak.
Lying to progress. Only achieving greed. Seated behind the sun. Myths bleed
into one. Searching for a saviour to lead us through this life. Where our
sanity is undone. Killing against our will. Killing for the bastard maker.
The fairy tale. The non existent. Salvation so bittersweet the taste brought
fear to our tongues. Preying on the weak. Fatherless creation encased in the
depths of humanity. They continue to rape and call it purity. I will not bow
