As he opened his eyes, Surgit found himself tied up in a bed . It seemed like a hospital bed; only, his hands and feet were tied up . He tried to test his strength against the shackles binding him and break free but he felt his strength betraying him . Since his sickness started manifesting more than one year ago, he felt the urgency to find a cure for his ailing body . Now with only about ten months to live, his body had become weaker and his sickly appearance was a joke to everyone on the boat . "How did I even think I could survive this expedition?" He thought to himself as he struggled to break free from his chains . "I was foolish to believe that I could survive here…" He felt despair building up inside of him . "Here I am, in god knows where, trying to break from chains made by monsters or possibly, something worse…"
- "Aha, you're awake" He heard in the distance, his head's movement was limited as he was chained down to the bed .
- "Who's there?" He shouted, with a frightened voice, betraying his desire to look tough and determined .
Advertisement- "Easy, you don't look too good and I don't mean you any harm . " Said the man's approaching voice .
- "Were you the one who attacked us at the port?" asked Surgit .
- "Oh no, I'm merely an old man . " And indeed he was an old man with white hair and a top hat on his head . He wore a leather jacket, a plain white button up shirt and black trousers . His eyes on the other hand, were bound by white bandages .
- "Why am I chained to this bed then?" Asked Surgit . The man's appearance had something peculiar in it . He felt that he could be trusted although everything in his logical mind urged him not to .
- "That is simply to protect you from yourself . I didn't know at what time you'd wake up . I was afraid you'd go out as soon as you got up and get yourself killed . Yharnam is a dangerous place . "
- "So it is Yharnam after all . Who attacked us then?"
- "Yharnamites, they don't like outsiders . "
- "Did anyone survive the attack?"
- "You should not concern yourself with the others right now . I see that you're sick and dying . Have you come here seeking blood healing?"
- "Yes I have, do you know of any place I can go to? My time is limited"
- "Unfortunately, you won't find anyone who would be kind enough in Yharnam to offer you blood healing unless you have something to trade it with . But you know what? You're in luck, I am a blood minister and I can see that you're in dire need for some blood healing" .
- "Are you saying you'd cure me?"
- "Why not? Tonight is the night of the hunt, if you want to get out of this place, you'll need some strength . "
- "I don't know what to say…" Surgit seemed at a loss for words, he was grateful but at the same time doubtful .
- "Just relax and wait for the blood to take effect . I had already injected you with our Yharnam blood . You should feel the kick in a few minutes . " The old man said in a mocking tone . "By the end of this, it will all seem like a mere bad dream… . Hahhaha… . . hahahahahaha…"
