"Alexandru Bathory…." Morpheus opened the envelope and read the name of the person aloud. There was an invitation to his manor at the end of the month.

"Who's this guy?" He looked at Daniel and asked.

Daniel took a swig of bourbon and replied, "A young sanguine who hails from a very noble family. You should go and meet him. Not only is he around your age, but you'll also be able to meet other young men and women of the supernatural world."

Morpheus put the letter back in the envelope and asked with a bored expression, "Do I really have to?"

Daniel was adamant. "Yes, you must. It's very important to network with other people and grow your influence. Morpheus, you mustn't forget that you're a wielder of the black medallion. And that brings with it a lot of responsibilities that you must bear."

Morpheus took out the medallion from his pocket and muttered, "What's so special about this thing, anyway?"
