Unknown to most - but not to you, isn't it? - the struggle for power between vampires has come to an end. Seeschal RavATwoFaces has won with satisfaction of his Archbishop.
From is throne "The Mistress" has seen many interesting things:
The council of Advisors is happy too: Fine, very fine.
The sun is rising and the battles are concluded. Mortal media are commenting a sleepless night for Torino.
It seems that in many districts gangs have battled and many patients of the neurlogy department of the Molinette Hospital (the biggest of Torino) have left their beds to roam confused the city. Now the police is trying to fetch them and to describe the crime scenes.
Too much to do for a single night and few people at work for this job... maybe no one will know for sure what happened... or not?
The battle was harsh and difficult for all the coterie that have answered the call... the city is proved and many leverage have to be pulled to keep the masquerade, but Paolo the Mistress, Archbishop of Torino is satisfied by the spectacle.
A eon has passed from the last time he has seen so many vampires toring apart each other, so many blood spilled, so many casualties.
His theatrical performance was studied for more than a decade, but was worth the planning and the time spent... Actors have done well, pawn have moved as expected and the winner was the one he has chosen.
Assamites transformed by their own madness into Daughters of Cacophony trying a Concert Tour around the city only to reach destruction by the hands of Tzimisce and Escaped Mental Patients (moved by Malkavians);
Tzimisce were the biggest surprise of the night because they have encountered their destructions but not before burning also some Nosferatu and Assamites;
poor warlock Elena must have discovered a new ritul to enter and exit torpor very often... but without any other apparent use, moreover she was also recovered and dominated by the Gagrel (an amusing thing to see a pridefull warlock controlled by a low beast);
the illusion of the Ravnos have worked fine too - they have convinced many kindred to reach their final death (or torpor) included many titled Nosferatu;
the madness has took also the Nosferatu - RavaTwoFaces and his coterie awe done a very good job! - because they have claimed a city radio controlled by Tzimisce only to return the conquer to the original owners and the gangrel nurse "cicciolina" has gone to sleep "forever" by the hands of another Patient in the very end of the night (there is a poetical justice in a patient putting to sleep a nurse, isn't it?).
now the number of vampires in the city is again under control, moreover the life (and unlife) empowered item in the hands of Beppe will pull back the balance needle between light and darkness.
Beppe has not truly won but the flown of vitae and the destruction of human lives and damned souls have charged the ancient relic and he will be its keeper.
Mundane victory will be forgotten, mystical power will remain in his hands forever...
RvaTwoFaces is the happiest of all: the malkavians (or their sabbat cousins?) are now he strongest clan in the city and his position has risen again.
Maybe in future he will rule a land with the approval of The Mistress... He has put his dead eyes on Val di Susa...
