The following week passes relatively calmly. Some of the night "walks" allow you to have some fun.

So, during the following week you continue to live in the mansion of merchant Oran Van Tassel.

The comfort and secrecy of your daytime sleep; the obedience of the persons who were subjugated by the mystical power of your vampiric suggestion; your vampiric powers and abilities that surpass the capabilities of ordinary humans in everything - there seems to be no reason to worry.

However, after the events of the masquerade ball, your mind regularly feels a vague anxiety ...

And there are reasons for this.

That ancient marble statuette, touching which enhanced your vampiric abilities. Obviously, this thing was imbued with some hidden magic.

A vision during sleep ...

A terrifying image of a huge ten-foot satyr-like creature.

The ancient deity Painal…

He was pleased that you delivered this small marble statue to the city of Onteria…

He rewarded you with…

However, you are troubled by the knowledge that the influence of Painal on your undead body may not be limited to just enhancing your regenerative abilities and the power of sexual potency. It is quite possible that this powerful mystical entity will try to use you as a “tool” again. The obvious truth that “tools” can break makes you feel increasingly uneasy.

There is one more disturbing fact…

That mysterious girl with whom you danced during the masquerade ball. The girl whose image emitted intangible waves of frightening mystical power. The girl who mysteriously disappeared, leaving you with only a strange symbol. Your anxiety is heightened by the fact that you saw her image in a dream, shrouded in darkness.

During your night walks through the streets of this big city, you periodically think about what happened: “For now I can enjoy my superhuman abilities without hindrance... But it seems to me that my fate has become a toy in the hands of several hidden mystical forces, whose power is like a dangerous, all-destroying element... I need to try to find out more useful information... And I need to be more careful in the future...” Perhaps partly because of such thoughts, you have, for now, decided to refrain from quenching your “thirst” in the most radical ways (leaving bloodless corpses). For a week, you searched for food every night...

On the streets of the night city...

Or in houses, sleeping and unaware of the threat persons...

Or in taverns, where the noise and laughter of drunkards distract attention from your hidden actions...

Your thoughts are still cold and permeated with selfishness and contempt for pathetic humans: "I need food... Blood... These pathetic persons are just animals to satisfy my needs... However, I need to act more carefully... So that the animals do not make noise and do not attract unnecessary attention - I will use the skills of suggestion and magical influence..."

At the end of the week, during a night "walk", you went into one of the inns, which was located on the northern outskirts of the city.

Stupid name: "The Old Brewmaster".

The noise of the customers...

Drunken swearing...

A couple of fights...

Dancing couples...

It was easy for you to find a victim...

A young (appearance suggests that she is about 22 or 21 years old), dressed in an elegant greenish dress, a brunette girl with long, slightly curly hair that fell almost to the middle of her back.

You invited her to dance...

Your gaze was directed straight into her large light brown eyes.

She could not resist the power of your suggestion...

After only twenty minutes from the moment of meeting, she obediently went with you to the second floor of the tavern (the inn's guests' living quarters were located there) and let you into her room.

Two persons in a small room.

You and this girl.

Her name "Estella" means little to you. You just want to have fun and quench your... "thirst".
