264 Start of the decay

In one of the secret rooms in the infirmary building, Olivia and Maximus watched Elder Remy heating a liquid that left black fumes in the air. When he poured the last remnant of the liquid from the vial into it, the liquid in the container turned hard like a cement. 

Elder Remy held a grim look on his face, and he said, "The hunters have progressed far, and to create an antidote, there's no more liquid left in the vial."

"We have asked the hunters' children to get a few more glass vials," replied Maximus. 

Hearing the plan, the Elder vampire didn't look like he supported the plan. He said, "All of you seem to trust them. I wonder if it is blind ignorance, or faith that has been developed over time."

"Melanie and Conner are on our side, Elder Remy," replied Olivia, and he offered her a stare that had the vampiress close her mouth.
