Darkest Night Collection. Delcaos

This is an introduction to the 'Darkest Night Collection'. It is a short story following the life of Delcaos, a twisted and cruel vampire who believes himself godlike and has little respect for anyone other than himself.
Delcaos tells us himself about how he became a vampire, sired by a foul creature but one that gave him great strength.
We learn about a devastating event that he caused himself and
how his ego drove him to create Lucretia, his 'dark child'.
But how long can that ego last? How long can one even so powerful as he go on believing himself to be a God without there being consequences?
Delcaos is forced to learn that no matter how strong you are, there is always something out there willing to stop you.
