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.
“You know long time ago, the wolf tribe was also hunting humans. We were hiding within them during the day, despising them, hating them for being so weak and unable to understand how they could be worthy to live without having the power to change and run. We waited for the full moons and as we changed we were hunting them and killing them, taking as many as we could without asking ourselves a single question about what is wrong and what is right. We had been raised by them and benefited of everything they had build but we never acknowledged it, we were blinded by our own shadow of superiority, but we changed,” she said.
She had gotten me curious. I had never thought that the wolves had been eating from humans too. The wolves were small and looked like dogs, they didn’t seem powerful enough to take on the humans but I still wanted to hear her story.
“What happened, why did you change?” I asked.
“The humans were fearing us and we were ruling. But the main problem was that the human had 25 days to get ready while we had only three to be able to organize ourselves. We could only change during the full moon at that time, and nobody would dare to tell others that they were a werewolf, if you were to tell it to a human, they would have kill you and we had to protect our families. The humans started to organize themselves. They noticed our cycle pattern, they notice where we were coming from, who was never to be seen during the full moon. They locked some of us and as they changed they killed them. Then they went for the rest. It was obvious and we had to move. But the humans weren’t happy enough with chasing us away, they had to chase us and elimitate us until the last. There was nothing we could do except hiding in the forest. We who had once be the master terrorizing them were now reduced to live a savage life deprived from every comfort. The humans had become the master and we were afraid of them. There are a lot of humans and not so many vampires and werewolves, if they really decided to go against us, even with our speed and strength, we would soon be in danger,” she explained.
