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.
“Now
watched,” he said as he opened the little red box to get the
philosopher stone, it was cover with a tissue so that his healthy
hand wouldn’t have to have contact with it directly on the skin. He
pressed the uncovered part of the stone with the finger tips of the
index finger on his bleeding hand. The cut started to form itself
back, the blood which had leaked out seemed to be absorbed back into
the palm, not sucked up by the cut by vanishing through Nicolas skin.
When it finished I noticed that the blood which had leaked on the
desk was still there. Nicolas showed me his hand again and I looked
at the big featured, they were identical. The philosopher stone had
reversed the process of cutting there was no scare, but there was
more than that, it wasn’t a regression like rejuvenescence
predicted at first, it was real reparation like Nicolas had explain.
“You’re
right, it’s repairing the body, making not recreating cells from
nothing or turning back in time, it’s actually using the material
at hand to make it better,” I said amazed.
Nicolas
smiled and replaced the stone on its cushion in the little red box.
“What
is left for me to figure out is how it actually works, what is the
mechanism behind such phenomena, I need to understand what is
happening to every cell, how it propagates from my finger tips to the
cut so fast and how it is able to target what the problem is,”
Nicolas said.
“Please
tell me how to make a philosopher stone, I will create one and keep a
diary of what happens with every single use which I could send you in
few years when the vampires are long gone from Praha,” I said.
