At the border of Raziel´s territory a downpour starts and Raziel finds two creatures feeding on a freshly killed human. After recognizing them as vampires, he glides down and kills them. Then goes through a metal gate engraved with Melchiah´s symbol and realizes when seeing more banners, that the Melchahim clan retreated to the Necropolis and has been using husks of long dead humans to increase their numbers. In the upper part of the cemetery, Raziel finds a mural depicting his brother Melchiah. He remarks upon the fact that Melchiah received his gift last and thus could not sustain his vampiric essence, with his flesh constantly rotting. This weakness was past onto his offspring as well, making them prey on humans not only for blood, but also their skin.
