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
ended up with the strangest looking carriage in all Praha, me who had
been willing not to attract attention, I was in fact failing at it.
It had coast me a lot of money to get the horses new shoes. Riding a
carriage was a lot easier than riding a horse itself even though it
felt like riding too. I was the best coach as long as I was going
straight but I had problems to negotiate the turns and after a couple
of unsuccessful tries at letting the horses decide for themselves,
ending up with them stopping in the middle of the street and blocking
other car, how to take it I started to work on different strategies
more or less working.
I
stopped the carriage near the river and left the horses to a coachman
while I walked back to the hotel. I needed to see how my prey was
feeling. I bought a bottle of fresh milk and some bread on the way.
The curtains of the room were still pulled up and I knew nobody had
visited her when I turned the key in the locker. The smell was still
strong in the room like impregnated in the wooden floor. She was
sleeping in the middle on the white bed sheet. She looked paler than
any human I had ever met. I checked her pulse to make sure that she
would stay alive and had no more worries about it. She was weak but
after eating she was sure to recover some strength. I left the bottle
of milk and the bread on the table for her to eat when she woke up
and locked her in the room again.
