She’d walked within the solar with out igniting utilizing Eiko’s safety rings, however she all the time needed to be conscious that her safety might fail and she or he might burn. Having the ability to stroll freely within the solar felt like regaining a part of her human self.
“My blood circulates? I do not know how my physique works now. I can’t eat anymore, however meals nonetheless smells good.” Ash grimaced.
Eiko frowned. “You have been turned by magic, not by a vampire. You and Nadya are the one vampires who’re nonetheless alive.”
