i love the story ann rice had written regarding queen akasha and king enkil. in the story she said that they are the very first vampires made. so, my question is, are they real? did they really exist? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.97.89.99 (talk) 18:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

i personally think Akasha is seriously misunderstood...

Although blatantly extreem the extermination of the majority of male populace would definately reduce murder and violence-related crimes in society. The facts are undeniable; the ratio of violent crimes male to female is not only reflected in crime statistics but also the number of male prisons to female ones. Rice is correct in that male aggresion & machoism is so imbedded within our culture that only the systematic slaying and subsequent re-conditioning of sons from birth could ever hope to correct it.

Akasha is in many ways similar to you or me. She, like all of us, is a product of her enviroment. Having to deal with the burden of thirst shared by only 2 she and Enkil are repeatedly attacked by her own children; left in the sun, drained on a continual basis, what if any obligation does she have to her children of darkness? She represents the base from which we have all come from. Raw emotion, blinding strength and iron resolve what have the years taught us Besides deception and many masks...

  • Yeah and wouldnt it be fun to be one of the few she lets stay alive
