Inspired by the vampire Armand, from Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire: Descending the stone steps beneath the Theatre des Vampires, with only the light of a single candle, the auburn-haired Armand leads you through a gallery of macabre artwork depicting apocalypse. This collection is over-rich in detail and chaotic. As you continue down a corridor that smells of the cool earth, you turn a corner and see firelight flickering out of the crack of an ancient wooden door. Armand invites you to enter. The room is simple, equipped only with a covered bed, two old chairs with ruined upholstery, and a broken bookshelf. The light from the fireplace is all that illuminates the space and you see a mortal boy sleeping tranquilly behind the veils of the bed. Sitting down together by the fire, hours pass without speech, while you both maintain an eerie, unnatural vampire stillness. You "were a newborn vampire, weeping at the beauty of the night."
