[66.1] VAMPIRES OF THE ILIAC BAY I
I told her my name. She angrily told me that it was a very poor joke, that I looked nothing like
the brave knight who used to visit the town, and that if I didn't know he was dead.
My emotions were a tangled skein. I could tell she was not joking, that I looked nothing like
myself. I was touched by her sorrow at my death, and horrified by the idea dawning on me of
what I had become. Suddenly, an overriding instinct overcame all my thoughts -- hunger.
Without even thinking about what I was doing, I reached out and tore her throat open. I
drained her until she looked like the corpse in the mystery man's dungeon.
The rest of my story is told in Vampires of the Bay, Chapter II.
