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.
Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left of last week.
I
sighed and turned around to look through the window. There was
nothing to see there, the street was extremely narrow. The house on
the other side had it’s door in front of my window. Anyone passing
in the street could have a look inside. I couldn’t help thinking
that even after month living here, I still missed the old house in
Paris. I had the feeling that Nicolas was looking for an argument
again. He might have had a lot of things against me. Somehow we were
a bit the same, I felt like my true self only when drinking blood and
he felt like himself only when working, except that without me, he
didn’t really have anything to work on anymore. After all the
philosopher stone was the ultimate discovery, it was giving humans
everything they wanted, power, wealth, youth, eternal youth and
health. It was a curse. What are you supposed to life for when you
have everything you ever wanted? There was nothing but enjoying it
and nobody humans or vampires could ever enjoy something forever
except that at least vampires knew it. I wasn’t going to give him
want he wanted.
“But
you too are different after drink blood, I thought that if you drunk
mine at least you could have understood.”
He
was walking in the room in circle now, something that the old Nicolas
never did something that was the main sign of someone unable to
control themselves.
“We
need to see the bodies”, I said.
I
didn’t really want to talk to him now, everything out of work had
become a burden. I was missing my old friend and his calmness. I
couldn’t think properly write now and that wasn’t only due to the
blood, looking at him was making me feel strangely tired. It was more
of a human feeling than real tiredness though.
“If
there are others in the city, it’s all good, as long as the crimes
continues you can just hide and get more blood when you need it”,
he said.
I
couldn’t understand him anymore, the old Nicolas had taken my
drinking blood like a eating habit, this one was acknowledging that
murders were necessary and that murder we could actually stop by
getting the other vampires if they were vampires would serve for my
hiding purpose.
“I’m
sorry, I can’t do this”, I said.
He
stopped and turned around, his fists clenched. He was angry again. I
didn’t know what he really wanted from me.
