In the year 1806, a ship of refugees from the newly formed USA was sailing north into Canadian waters. They were blown off course, out into the waters of the Atalantic. Hopelessly lost, they attempted to find their way back to shore. When a storm plagued the ship, the captain chose to land on an island seen through the haze of wind and rain.
The island was seemingly uninhabited. The refugees were a mixed bunch seeking a new land, free from the dark grip of slavery and the harsh economy. Yes, even in the new land of freedom, the refugees were appalled to see that such things existed.
After a few days, the group of roughly two hundered and fifty decided to stay. They docked their ship and began building a town and stone fort for protection, intent on starting a new colony here.
But it was not to be.
Ferocious beasts that haunt only one's nightmares inhabited the island... those who fed upon the blood of humans. They had survived on the animals of the island for years, but were weaker without the blood of humans. A few humans were easily picked off within the first week.
When their ravenous hunger was finally satisfied, the vampires began not to drink all of the blood of the humans... leaving the venom to flow to their hearts. The small coven of five original vampires had created a whole new empire with so many more.
The fifty or so remaining humans fled into the forests of conifers, seeking a hiding place. They took shelter in a collaboration of caves, always watching for the demons that now plagued the forest.
When a young man was bitten by a wolf, however, things began to change. The man found that he could phase into a wolf form. In this form, he had to fight to keep control- his instincts took over, and he killed two humans before he realized what he had done. They exiled him from their group, and he went off alone.
However, the call of unchanged humans was too strong- the man returned, this time unable to control himself. He bit several of them, and in time, there were many werewolves upon the island.
When the wolves and the vampires discovered each other, there was blood to be lost. Both sides suffered great losses, and it was here that the island received it's name- when the bodies of the creatures were burned, the fire was jet black. The island of black fire- La Isla del Fuego Negro.
Time has softened the brutality- mostly. The vampires and wolves have divided amongst themselves, trying to go on with life as usual. However, now, in the present time... humans have come once more to the island of black fire with some new technology. Intent on using the island for farming because of the rich soil and the climate similar to that of the northern United States, the humans have brought all of their animals and farming equipment. Their lives are simple, but they are intent on shipping out harvests back to the United States. The descendants of the vampires and werewolves still live on... and it is yet to decide what is to come.
