I looked up at the ceiling of the room, but of course, all I saw was the stone ceiling. I couldn’t see the moon itself, even if it had been open, because it wasn’t nighttime at the moment outside and therefore the moon would not be visible. Then again, I didn’t know for sure how much time I had spent in here already, so maybe it was nighttime and I just didn’t know it yet. I looked at Blake. “That’s a really bad joke, Blake, and you know it.” “Joke? This is no joke,” said Blake, shaking his head. “You can disbelieve me all you want, but it’s the truth. As we speak, my Mistress is on the moon, the Vampire Flame with her, studying its secrets and learning how to control it for her own agenda. There’s not a single person on the planet who could get her there, whether vampire or sorcerer.”
