Summary of the previous episodes:
Viorel has been tortured by his
supposed family who wanted to have him burn in the sun. Strangely
enough the sun didn't burn him as expected but Viorel has no memory of
who he is. Following the advises of his supposed father, he left
Sighișoara and is now traveling to the West. After some skirmish in a
previous city, he found refuge on a boat. Viorel is now in Vienna. The
little problem is that the guy at the inn was a bit of an asshole
and helped capture Viorel thinking he was a vampire, which he is but
nobody needs to know. Now there is a huge man (which I call the colossi)
taking care of Viorel and a priest. They brought a girl. Torture my
holy water... Fail. Viorel managed to confuse everyone, now he would
like to get out of here. But the girl seems pretty useless. They still
managed to escape and he left the girl to the care of the boat lady
before going back to have two words with his captors but his power of
persuasion were failing him. The priest wanted to crack a
deal but Viorel is not really up to help his enemies. He finally got
some blood but he can't risk to stay in Vienna. He travel to Linz were
he stays a bit to learn German.
Viorel wanted to go to Praha but redirect himself toward Augsburg
instead where he wants to get a horse, except that the horses are a bit
scared of his vampirism and maybe something else. Viorel is really not a
horse expert. Then he comes into an altercation with couple of people,
he wants some fear in his blood. The girl Viorel has found seemed to
enjoy the game. Viorel prepares for the nightmares that come with a
feast of blood, in a rush to leave, he cross the dukedom of Lorrain.
We introduced Sorina, three weeks after the beginning of Viorel's escape.
Viorel dreamed of Sorina and woke up not really remembering anything.
Traveling to Paris, he arrives at "La cour des miracles". He is rescued
by a stranger who turned out to be Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist he was
looking for. Nicolas does some strange experiment without Viorel's
agreement. Some people are looking for Nicolas's secrets.
On the other side of Europe, Sorina awakes and Viorel's past in haunting
him. Viorel discovered that he can change into a wolf but that's not
the easiest thing to handle.
I opened the drawers looking for documents related to my case but there was nothing. Everything here belonged to the true owner of the house, a human, it had nothing to do with the vampires. I walked out quickly putting my blade up again, listening, smelling, all my senses in alert. I finally heard them, the heart beat first as I reached the stairs, there were only one human downstairs and someone else was walking lightly, like a vampire filled up with highly oxygenated blood. I took a step down still listening, trying to gather as much information as I could. I finally reached the floor. The stairs had led me to a large room, the light was dimmed. I remembered that feeling from long ago, the light in the castle had always been like this letting the shadow grow on the floor and on the wall, scary and dark. It was the same, they had taken this house and tried to reproduce the atmosphere they had at home. My vampire was still unconscious on the sofa. The human who had brought him in couldn’t repress a cry when he saw me even though I had my index finger on my mouth. It was a human sign to be quiet but apparently it was not working with everyone. The vampire turned around to look at me, so far so good for my surprise effect.
“We had been looking for you a long time, I wasn’t expected for you to show up in my house, Viorel,” he said, “Oh I forgot, traitor like you don’t even have name anymore.”
He laughed, I could see in he was taking me lightly. He hadn’t be present in the prison or during my execution. I had no idea who he was.
“So who are you exactly? I don’t remember ever being introduced to you.”
He was still laughing, turning around the sofa slowly, I took the other direction toward the human.
“If I were you I would go upstairs to see your wife,” I said.
“What did you do to her?” he man asked.
“Just go”, the other vampire said.
The man hesitated and finally run to the stairs without looking at us.
“We are finally alone Viorel,” the vampire said.
“We have a lot to discuss,” I answered.
“I have nothing to say to you,” he answered.
He was still on the other side of the sofa, trying to hide his sword but he wasn’t fooling me, the way his arm was hanging down all muscle tensed from his body, I knew the blade was heavy enough to require some effort from him to use it. It might be reduced while in the fight position but it was still an advantage for me. He was moving crossing his legs, I didn’t know how he had learned to fight but his seemed really high on his position and the way he was walking, he would be easily unbalanced.
