"VAMPIRES AND HUMAN DO NOT GET ALONG, POOR DUNPEALS:Kevlik was confused. This wasnât going at all the way he thought it would. Angieâs fingers were tented in front of her, a sign of concentration he had often seen in the Major. A pang of grief ripped through him, but he put it aside; there was a time to grieve, and now was not it. âTell me you two, what exactly is it you wish to accomplish here in Baltoix? Or are you just here for the clean mountain air?â âI am on a very specific quest. The last words my guardian Bosch said to me were an order that I go and find my heritage. That quest was just beginning when I found Kevlik and he decided to join me.â Kevlik snickered in spite of himself at the word âdecided.â âWe have traveled through many towns, found many things and made not a few enemies along our path. In Kor I found my father. He was human. That leaves my mother to be Vampires. Bosch told me that The Queen would tell me the truth about my mother. I was hoping the Regent would share that information with me, if she indeed does have it. If not, I would like to ask the Regent for an escort to help Kevlik and me to get safe passage to Kimilt so I may demand the information from The Queen myself.â"
