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.
“Wrong!”
he finally said pushing himself on the back of his chair. He seemed
very relax and confident. It wasn’t that he was trying to prove me
wrong, he actually had an answer to my unbelieve. He took a deep
breath and smiled. “I think I will have to convince you with an
example, because there is no going through it otherwise.”
“What
do you mean an example?” The stone had been used enough already,
there was no way in hell that I was going to touch it again, no
freaking way.
“As
I know you are against the use of the stone for yourself as if it had
the power of driving you crazy like drinking too much of hot
chocolate, I will be the one using it on myself,” he said pulling
out a key from a chained around his neck and opening the drawer of
his desk. The drawer had a fake bottom which Nicolas remove, he then
turned the key into the second fake bottom and took out two little
red box. I wonder why there were two box suddenly, I wasn’t aware
that he had created a second philosopher stone, in my opinion one of
this hell stone was enough.
“You
can’t use it again, you’ll end up a baby and Perenelle would be
in hell taking care of you,” I said.
“That
can’t happen, the philosopher stone doesn’t rejuvenate you, it
repairs you. Therefore the effect of getting younger will stop at the
age when the body actually reaches its optimum shape, the end of
growth which is just few years younger than where I am at now,”
Nicolas said, “The change in me should be minimal but I would
rather show you how the philosopher stone actually repair things.”
“Isn’t
it the optimum time birth? I was a little bit scared by the
experiment, I didn’t feel like leaving Perenelle alone with a baby
in a foreign city, no matter how much money she had to deal with the
situation and how used she was to live with the Czech.
“Birth
is the time when you start growing into this world, you had been
growing inside of you mother before that, it’s just an etape, not a
start, not an end. The real turning point is when you stop growing
and start aging. The philosopher stone can repair the cells decaying
in your body but it does destroy them. There are way more cells in an
adult than in a baby, the philosopher stone won’t destroy them,”
Nicolas said.
