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, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left of last week.
“You
can’t turn into a wolf”, he said pushing one of the book at me
without even looking up from the one he was reading. At time I was
suspecting that he was able to read two different things
simultaneously but I wouldn’t ask. “It’s all here, vampire
can’t sire werewolves their blood is incompatible, the man would
die.”
He
had said the word man as if it was the less appropriate term possible
but he couldn’t bother to find a better one. I wanted to sigh but I
knew he would take it wrongly. At least now I knew were his
priorities were.
“We’ll
fix this later, we have bigger problems”, I said.
My
way to fix it was going to be running away to go get the one who
actually had an idea about why this had happened to me. I knew
already everything from Nicolas’ books and it seemed that his
younger self couldn’t teach me as much as his older self had. After
all, I was grateful for the three years we had in Paris.
Nicolas
looked at me with his no so deep any more light blue eyes and the look
was icy.
“I
know you don’t respect me as much since I used the stone. I know I
have changed, there is a part of me that know the right things to do
or to say to you, the way I did when I was in Paris but there is
another part of me rebelling against it and wanting to fight that old
garbage”, he said.
“Maybe
you should trust yourself a little more”, I said. I bite my lips
wondering if he wasn’t going to take it the wrong way. He had been
exulting insane self-confidence lately but not the best one. I looked
at him and added. “I mean, you need to trust more in your old self,
at least what he knows ,you have gained it by experience, he is the
more mature and knowledgeable part of you.”
“Yes
but I fear that he might as well be obsolete.” Nicolas answered.
He
was at it again, knowing everything better than anyone else even than
himself.
“That
guy managed to get the philosopher stone, he can’t have been
completely obsolete and he was the one understanding straight away
everything happening with my body, my thirst for blood and my memory,
something you have proven yourself unable to do more than once.” I
said.
He
had been telling me what to do for too long, I felt that it was my
turn to help him. When I left Sighişoara I was feeling like a human
and being a vampire this had been a major change for me. I knew how
he might feel in his younger body.
He
didn’t answer, he sighed and stood up to walk around in the room. I
spend some times looking at him but it always ended up making me feel
dizzy.
He
finally stopped.
“Let’s
go see those bodies first”, he said.
That
was the most reasonable thing he had said in days and I was not going
to disagree. I followed him as he walked out of the room, the smell
of a cooking pie stroke me and I couldn’t wait to come back to eat
it. But I knew that if the taste and smell of human food was
appealing to me, it meant that I needed to hunt tonight again. I
couldn’t face those vampires without my vampire powers. The wolf
part of me seemed totally gone and it had washed out the blood I had
two days ago.
“Are
you all right?” Nicolas said.
