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.
“The
guy who wrote the note of the introduction stole those things, I can
agree he was the worst kind, who would want to read this?” she said
again.
“I,
for instance, need to understand them, but if you can’t read them
it’s alright, I’ll keep on trying when I have more time,” I
answered.
“I
didn’t say I can’t read them, I just said that it is not the kind
of literature a young lady should be spending time on,” she
answered.
I
could see her finger move on the lines in a disordering way as if she
was trying to reorder the words to fit the need of her mother tongue.
Despite complaining about the quality of the book, she was still
reading.
*****
There
were some new noises, Sorina jumped to her feet squatting with one
legs tense, both hands on the floor looking at the door. It was
really dark but her eyes had accustomed themselves to the absence of
light in her cell a long time ago. She had tried to count the days
she had been held captive but it didn’t matter yet. In the absence
of sunshine one day or two or more could have been spend sleeping or
just dreaming, she couldn’t say. It was of no importance now. She
had also tried to forget her life from before. The reason she was
there, it was all foggy in her mind. The slept when she wanted to,
she ate when she could. Rats cadaver, mostly skin and bones covered
the floor, she had pushed them on the corner but it was hard to
distinguish them. At first she had just dried the animals from their
blood but in the end as they rarely come by, she had also eaten their
raw flesh, cutting them into little pieces with her sharp teeth. It
was making her stomach hurt a lot, she had given up and waited for
fresh blood to arrive but it was even worse than the pain to face the
thirst, she had gotten used to it in the end. She knew what she was
but it didn’t bother her much. Her thoughts had become foggy as
well. She wanted to forgot everything which happened before she was
thrown away in this cell, it was too painful to remember. At first
she had clung to the thought of Viorel, she had been so sure that he
would come back for her but the more time past, the more she doubted
it. He had been hers when she was a human but he had also been one of
them.
