Aliena decided to fly, to fly free in the night, and to enjoy the attractive unique view from above, on the beautiful sky of Hong Kong, during MidAutumn Festival. Of course, the birds were freely now to join her, outside of their cage, she helped them to get out to fly, she liked their Song.
She was flying above the Library of the University of Hong Kong. From high there, the Library looked like a small white rock, a building in miniature where learning took place offline and online. It was so quiet there in the sky, but too much light for Aliena's taste. Her red dress in the sky looked like a petal of rose in the air. Then, together with the free birds, Aliena was flying around the mountains and waters of Hong Kong. She enjoyed the view, lights, lanterns and a few stars that she could see far, far away. Aliena was happy, but a little hungry.
- Dear Aliena, vampinnight, we know a place where we can fly to eat some condensed blood soup.
- Why are you birds thinking that a vampinnight just needs to eat condensed blood? I like blood, but I like other ingredients for my dishes too. I should of started looking for the secret kitchen at that library.
- But there is no secret kitchen and the library is not located at the twenties floor. The kitchen is invisible now, so you could have not found it.
- How do you know that?
- We know some things, even if we are just messengers, just simple birds, we connect times and spaces.
- What do you know about me being a vampire?
- You are not a simple vampire that just needs blood, you are a vampinnight, Aliena, you need freedom, energy, and, of course, you need to find him.
- To find who?
- To find that man.
- The Scholar?
- Well, maybe... hesitated the birds.
- Aliena, you need to find someone powerful that can give you some drops of blood.
- But I am not thirsty. I drank enough of that medicinal tea, that bitter taste was so powerful.
- Let's stop by the water, maybe we find some fish left in the fishing villages around Hong Kong and there will be so many drops of blood too.
- But it's still Mid-autumn Festival, I wanted those mooncakes, said Aliena vampinnight.
- Well, you left the Spirit of the Library to enjoy them.
- I helped you, birds, to freely fly outside, so you better help me right here and now to find some mooncakes.
- Are you a human, Aliena? They eat mooncakes now, you are a form of energy, eternally flying, you need water and blood, not pastry.
- I eat what I want, so I always decide for myself.
- Let's go to that fishing village and see what we find, but you need your drops of blood or at least some condensed blood, before eating mooncakes, like a human, repeated the birds.
So they slowly went down with their colorful wings and there, under the elegant red lanterns, stayed the quiet fishing village, where the full moon of the holiday's night was reflecting its light in the dark waters.
