One down...one to go. With the Noctem agreeing to aid us in our quest, it was time to pull the Sabbot in as well. Surely this would be an easy task, right? They were the good guys after all. That is, if a vampire clan could be considered good. But there was just one teensy weensy little problem. Isaac has a dark family secret he failed to mention.
