…In the end, he failed.”

“He planned on using the bones and the magic to change him and Achilles into cousins rather than lovers.

…But as you said. It was not a well thought out plan.”

“The kind of vampires. To source of blood. And the skill of the vampire, of course.

“And as a man from Trujillo, I can perhaps help you learn more about your powers and be more in sync with the deity.”

“There are many mystical cat creatures in existence. If you’d like, I could show show you some.”

“Well, the technical term is therianthrope. But most people don’t know what that is.”

“Werewolf husbands on the other hand”

“I would not recommend taking a hellhound as a pet.”

“Once we create a deal, I can take some folks into The Sacrarium. Keep them safe…
