The underworld is threatened when mankind discovers the existence of the Vampire and Lycan species that have been thriving in this alternate universe Not good for them, since mankind has begun a war to literally wipe both species; off the face of the earth, like rats during the Black Plagueyears of 14th century Europe. This is the concept behind Underworld: Awakening (2012). You would think the Vampires and lycans would band together against humankindbut instead, it divide and conqueras they both go after each other, as well as their common enemy. As Selene says: This is a new war and it's only the beginning And wars need weapons. Here is a great example of one of Selene's (Kate Beckinsale) screen used, hand wrapped double bladed axe. It is more elaborate that some of the others which makes it an incredible set piece for display. It includes an etched design handle gutting blade with stained blood The blades are also made of plastic colored in authentic silver. This is the first hero axe to be released from the studio archives from the film. (approx. 32" long).
