A medic crawls through the dust and smoke, giving aid where he can. He sees a body, a large shard of wood protruding from the chest. The medic tries to help the wounded man. Just as he extracts the wood, shrapnel from another mortar hit strikes him. As the medic draws his last breath, the man draws his first in three centuries. At that very moment, the vampire that created him smiles, knowing that one of his "children" is alive again.
