Akasha and Enkil Birth: Around 4000 B.C. Death: 1985 Maker: Akasha: Amel Enkil: Akasha
Those Who Must Be Kept, the Mother and Father of all vampires, Akasha and Enkil endured from the beginning, spending the centuries in a trance. Pride was their undoing in the beginning, and greed and selfishness in the end.
'Her skin was hard and white and opaque as it had always been. Her cheek shone like pearl as she smiled, her dark eyes moist and enlivened as the flesh around them puckered ever so slightly. They positively glistened with vitality.'
'With our queen there has always been a purpose. She could not do the smallest thing without a grand purpose.'
- The Queen of the Damned
'As for the King we saw him now not as a soldier but as a sovereign. His hair was plaited and he wore his formal kilt and jewels. His black eyes were full of earnestness as they had always been but it was clear, within a moment, that it was Akasha who ruled this kingdom and always had. Akasha had the language - the verbal skill.'
- The Queen of the Damned
