This is a Queen of the Damned altenative story. It tells of
what could have happened if Akasha had not been destroyed.
This story is
about the rise of all the Immortal species, as well as the demise of some.
God-like creatures placed into human avatars.
Violet eyed, Lyssa de Gacian is
one of these new Immortal creatures. One of the first of her kind, a kind simply
called the Immortals.
She starts off as Akasha's personal confidant. But
later leaves her to go and learn more about herself, and how she came to
be.
When she returns, she finds Akasha and her husband Enkil, have been
turned into vampires. Another of the Immortal creatures; a (dark)
death species of
Immortals.
Feeling a threat from this species of Immortals, Lyssa leaves. Her
kind have regenerative blood, and can't be drained. Something the blood-feeding
vampires would love to have access to.
Lyssa continues her travels, and comes
across more Immortal creatures. Some of her own kind in Rome. Lucius and
Bellona. They remark how Lyssa's eyes are pure violet, while theirs are only
blue-violet. They tell her she is part of legend and will have to have herself
killed, so that she can be reincarnated.
Lyssa doesn't buy this and
eventually leaves again. She comes across young Lestat in France, and then
travels on. She starts getting dark premonitions, that force her to heed Lucius
and Bellona, whom she runs into again, in the 21st century. She finds a couple
to pass her blood to, a pregnant woman. She drops her blood into her drink,
after aiding the woman. She then has Lucius kill her.
Lyssa Roman is born,
named after the young woman who had helped her mother long ago.
Born with
violet eyes, she is unique to all who know her. Her parents die in a carwreck,
and she has to go live with her aunt and uncle.
Working at her uncle's
recording studio, she
comes across Lestat. Soon after Akasha takes over, and causes all the humans to
be her slaves, save a few who work for her.
Lyssa gets discovered by a young
vampire named Alexsei. Her violet eyes attract him, and he brings her to the
Queen's attention. Rebellious she refuses to comply with Akasha. And eventually
Lestat feeds her vampiric blood, bringing her back to her Immortal
state.
More powerful, she confronts Akasha, and then leaves. Vowing to return
one day, and put an end to Akasha's reign.
