It takes place in the 8th century BC. Rheya and Gaius have tracked down the Sons of Ares (the people who harmed Rheya). Rheya wants Gaius to purge the village, but Gaius doesn't want to. He says there are far too many innocent people, including children, down there. Rheya doesn't mind, she thinks they need to be uprooted, but Gaius continues to protest. Rheya challenges him on his views. She claims that humans will always try to fight them, and that vampires should rule because humans will fight them otherwise. She tries to entice him by asking him to be her soldier, but Gaius puts his foot down. Rheya then reaches into his soul and alters it, shaping him to her will. Now changed, Gaius eagerly goes in for the slaughter.
