When #Athan's invitation to train for the #vampire council arrived by post at #Collinwood Mansion, dear father #Barnabas threw it in the fire, only to discover a hidden message from his old friend & rival #Vladislaus #Straud. It seems he elder council was in a sorry state & it wasn't going to be long before there was ANY council at all! While father wasn't interested, his ambitious son #Cordell certainly was! Finally, a chance to prove himself worthy of the Collins name!
