This 33-minute fan film focuses on the origins of Blade. It flashes back from a feral young Eric Brooks (Kal El Smith) meeting his mentor, Jamal Afari (Michael Monteiro), to later when older Brooks (Byron Smith) is part of the Bloodshadows gang, headed by Cyrus Cutter (Markiss McFadden). Brooks battles with vampires including bad girl Lamia (Moorea Wolf), as well as with his subordinate role as a Bloodshadow, and his demons from his recent loss. He also faces his feelings with Cyrus's girlfriend, Glory (Lamorae Signal), who also begins to show interest in Brooks. It all culminates to several action scenes leading to the moment when Brooks definitively declares his role as “Blade.“
