Eternal Horizon

In the vastness of the universe, what is the purpose of the silent bonds that tie us all together? What is destiny? What is it to exist? To die? To live? Are vampires truly immortal if they can perish? What truly separates our two kinds from being mortal and immortal? From godliness? From being human? From humanity itself? What is the soul? Is it simply our fragile character, the one that separates us from everyone else, that makes is who we are? Or is it an unseen entity within us, captured inside the breakable prison of bones, and muscle and flesh? When we both die, when we cease to exist, do our souls cease to exist as well? Does it perish with the gift of immortality or did it really exist in the first place?
