Proper meal, right mode of the day and tender care – give it to your patient with all the warm of your soul and he will be healed quickly. And don’t be afraid, Crimson Curse isn’t contagious."

Prof. Ambrose “One thousand and one diseases”.

"Don’t be fools - Vampirism is the only name for this phenomenon. One who was touched by this curse has to be killed. It is the only way to save him, you and all the humankind. Be alert not to miss the stigmas of the curse. The first sign you have to pay attention to is increased psycho-sexual excitability, cursed person becomes just obsessed by the first person she spoke to, when the curse hit her. And be sure, she will gets her way, if lose your guard just for a second. One little bite and you are cursed, that’s the way Vampirism transmits. The other signs which must alarm you are aristocratic pallor, fear of running water, unnatural vivid dreams and t of course the terminal sign – thirst for the blood."
