![]() I've put the mask into the vault, in a sealed box, under my name, Merrick told me.I suggest we leave it there. Would it do no good to speak to her? Would it do no good to tell her that she's dead? When it was clear that he meant to force me, I fought him with all I had.Īs a matter of fact, I did see this spirit again. ![]() I felt invincible in my new young body and I had no thought to ask Lestat for eternal life. It was after our dreadful ordeal with the Body Thief. It seemed to me, as I was losing the battle to live, let alone the battle to be mortal, that I saw the cave spirit standing near me with his arms out, and I saw pain in his face.Īs you well know, I was no longer the elder David.

I had robbed a place that was precious to him. And as he drained my blood to the very point of death, it was the bronze-skinned spirit of the cave whom I glimpsed as my eyes closed.Īs for my personal reaction to the spirit, I was afraid of him. I don't know if my prayers were heard by my orisha, but the room was suddenly assailed by small spirits, none of whom could frighten or hinder Lestat in any way.
