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.
When
I entered the hotel room the girl was still lying on the bed, but she
didn’t seem as weak anymore, her hair was scattered on the pillow
in a different way, her cheeks were a little pink, after losing so
much blood she might have moved quite a bit to have blood willing to
rise to her face, half of the milk bottle had been drunk and half the
break had disappeared too. As I move toward her to check her pulse,
she had been sweating, she had probably tried to escape but had
finally given up. She opened her eyes and looked straight at me for
few seconds she seemed not to recognize me. As I didn’t move she
pulled the bed sheets on her face as if the thin tissue could protect
her from me. I looked at her, I remembered Sorina. She had the same
reaction when I was coming to her parents inn with other vampire, she
would hide herself completely behind the kitchen door but the top of
her head and her eyes would still be visible. Her father wasn’t
happy to have her and vampire around but somehow she was there. I
felt the urge to hold the stone and get that memory back. Why did he
left Sorina in with the vampires and why did he left me come near
her? But I had to take care of this girl and leave tonight. She had
hair as blond as Sorina’s was black and she has big eyes too. She
didn’t look like the other Czech women I has seen at all. I took
her hand away from her face and she offered some very weak
resistance. I tried her pulse it was weaker than I expected.
“Why
didn’t you eat and drink everything?” I asked.
“What
will you do to me?” She said.
“You
need to eat to stay healthy.”
She
didn’t answer and just looked at me.
“Finish
to eat and get ready, knock at the door, I’ll wait outside,” I
said standing up.
I
almost reached the door when she decided to finally talk.
