(Page 415 & 416 of The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice)
"When I stepped through the doorway, the Druids closed it. And I realized that I stood at the top of a long stone stairs. It was a configuration that I was to see over and over again in the centuries that followed . . . --the steps leading down into the Mother Earth, into the chambers where Those Who Drink the Blood always hide.
"The oak itself contained a chamber, low and unfinished, the light of my torch glinting on the rude marks left everywhere in the wood by the chisels, but the thing that called me was at the bottom of the stairs. And again, it told me that I must not be afraid.
"I was not afraid. I was exhilarated beyond my wildest dreams. I was not going to die as simply as I had imagined. I was descending to a mystery that was infinitely more interesting than I had ever thought it would be.

Merci beaucoup!
Yes, good idea. I should try Mael, but first I must read some more to find a scene.

Oh my gawsh! Marius is my joint favourite Anne Rice character ('cos you can't love Marius without his Amadeo). I love it, it has a captivating depth. ^^

Yes indeed, those two go together. heheh (Someday I hope to do more Amadeo fan art.) Thank you! I'm glad that you think it's captivating.
