Lineage changes. Everyone does them, believe me, I know. Even if you never think you'll ever change sires ever again, sooner or later it will just happen. It can happen for a variety of reasons; ranging from forced removal, to needing a new path, or just missing having no one above you.
Like I said, everyone does it. I never thought I would...but two and a half years later, and here I am. No longer the prized childe of Murrz Ramirez, I am now the newest son of Sartori (John Duckman not withstanding.)
I think this article today will focus on the reasoning "needing a new path." It happens. Unlife gets boring, stagnant, or you realise that you and those around you have stopped learning. Never stop learning.
Whatever the reason, you still need a change. The thing is, you have other people to think about in this change. If you have childer, they need to know that you plan to make this unlife altering change. Sit down and discuss it, the ramifications of said change, and whether or not their happy about it. Discuss it with them, your partner, but in the end, what makes you happy is important.
Some childer, can be whiny about it. Some may threaten to leave the city if you make such a choice. That is their choice to make. Others may understand, but still want severed so they may follow their own path. And still yet, some may follow you through Hell or high water, loyal and understanding till the very end. But in the end it is your choice, who sires you.
At the end of the night, all you can do is talk to them. After said discussion, their answers, plus your own thoughts make the final decision. After that fact, some of the childer who claim to stick by you at the end, actually lied. Instead, they attempt to sabotage your new path. Even yourself. Those childer are more headache than they are worth.
The opinions expressed in this commentary do not reflect on The RavenBlack Bite or any of it's writers besides myself.
Thank you for listening.
