Try a Different Viewpoint

I tried to have this done on Sunday, but ran into distractions, as usual. I really do hate having so little free time, but oh well. Money is always nice to have on the other hand. Anyway, here's a little something I put together to help clear any specific confusions anyone might have:
Some Notes on Vampires:
Vampires become stronger with age. However, this is not due to any supernatural or magical reasons, nor due to changing abilities. No, a vampire is similar to an average person, in that they must learn to use the abilities they are given. Much the same way that a human must learn to walk and speak, a vampire can't simply instantly know exactly how to assume the form of a bat, or summon a pack of wolves.
Similarly, most species must learn to walk before they can run, and vampires are similar. Once an ability is learned, it becomes the gateway to more powerful versions of the same ability. Turning into a bat will eventually lead into turning into a wolf, and possibly even into more powerful creatures given enough mastery of the ability. Such is the reason why elder vampires are the most powerful beings in existence. They have learned to tune themselves into their abilities to the point of them being nearly analogous to a human's ability to breathe.
I have some more notes as well, but I want to flesh them out a bit better. Besides, I can use these notes as an excuse to keep people tuning in.

Keep up the awsome job, Zarah!
Summon bats and turn into a bat, then have all the bats go in different directions.
He'll never know which one is Lana!
It's not as if there are hardly any similarities at all. A superior fighter chases protagonist into a dark building, they exchange dialogue concerning the advantages and disadvantages of the position as the protagonist somewhat weakly snipes at the opponent, a hastily-crafted dummy is created, and the enemy is pounded from stage left.
Not that I mind, of course. I actually wasn't thinking of OotS at the time of reading, and it is a fan-comic.
"SNEAK ATTACK!"
Especially when you're in a room that echoes.
Yes you are right, a hide and seek chase in a dark room has never ever been done before OOTS and everyone who uses it is now a total rip off.
