MICHAEL- “I am not ready to REST... I also do not believe you are who you say you are...You want to hear what I sense, VINCENT!?”

VINCENT- “Sure, go ahead amuse me.”

MICHAEL- “I am a very powerful witch. I sense things, and can see things, and this is what I see... I believe you are a descendant of the Strauds...and somehow you have also acquired the gifts of witchcraft, and you have seduced Lucian, magically to do whatever it is you plan to do.  It involves the realm and young Ronan....so tell me, am I far off the course?”

VINCENT- “Quite far, yes, actually. I too am a very powerful witch, Master Michael. But I am not a descendant of the Straud’s.... I am Straud. The one and only one left.  Count Vladislaus Straud V, yes I am the grandson of Vlad the IV, and yes I vanquished him and left this forsaken place...but now I have returned. But this is of no concern to you, nor will you remember it....”

He got up and cast a spell upon Michael, to erase his mind of the events he just spoke, and of Michael’s suspicions of him and of Lucian’s plan.
