Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: The Vampire Murders: Epilogue

FDK, if any, goes here.

Who knows, perhaps I'll bring back Night Eagle someday.

Nan posted her Epilogue. I'm glad, that Manny came back, he had been the only innocent victim.
It was a wonderful story (though a revelation would have been nice )

Nan,

Night Eagle was a very interesting character and I for one would like to see him return for another visit, even if only to nudge our favorite superhero in Lois' direction.

I'm glad that Metropolis has another guardian!

Excellent story. Please submit it to the Archive ASAP so that I can read it all at once.

I think this is the longest story I've read on the boards, which ended with Lois still not knowing Clark's secret (at any point within the story). I was wondering if you'd actually have the reveal or whether you'd A-Plot it out. Well done.

I am a bit confused on how Night Eagle was able to revive Manny without turning him (in the traditional sense of the vampire). What happened to his Laughing Bird? Is Night Eagle a previous life of Clark's, only his soul mate moved on when he did not? Of course, that would make it difficult to explain how Clark could be there unless you get technical and say that Night Eagle's soul disappeared as soon as he was infected (it's big discussion in the Twilight books, whether or not one can still have a soul when one is a vampire).

So, sad for Night Eagle. Like alt-Clark, he wanders throughout his long life without his soul mate. I'm curious where life will take this universe next.

Remember, Night Eagle is also a medicine man, besides being part blood spirit, and the Superman universe contains magic. Maybe I'll bring back Night Eagle in a later story, but suffice to say, he was a powerful shaman of his tribe, and who is to say what the rules are with victims of the blood spirits when someone like Night Eagle can get to them in time? Remember what he was thinking in the last part. It cost him something, at least for a while. People with his powers pay a price when they use their gifts, but he had to fix his mistake. (And if Henderson is right, Manny's body probably vanished from the morgue that first night. Night Eagle was probably working on him all the time after that.)

I was a little dissatisfied with the epilogue, so I redid it slightly. Anyone who has already read it, I would appreciate your comments on the newer version. Do you think I improved it?

Nan

Huh, Bobby? Didn’t expect Bobby.

Nice one!

/scratches head/ Why did the vampire go after him again instead of some other victim. That’s odd. Very odd, indeed.

Interesting… Will New Manny heed a hefty diet of hemoglobin?

What did he give up? Or did he transfer life energy from the crooks?

It’s called a sewage system. They use it these days to keep plagues at bay. In earlier days, people just didn’t live closer packed than rats on a ship. Stupid White Men. :rolleyes:

Oh, those tunnels.

/satisfied sigh/

The bit with Night Eagle, right? Yeah, it feels kind of better this way

That was one nice tale you’ve weaved there, Nan. And all nicely tied up with a bow Michael

I never had a problem with Night Eagle bringing Manny back to life. He had never been a vampire, so Manny didn't turn into one either.
The edited version of the Epilogue works better for me. I love seeing Night Eagle's point of view.
Thanks Nan for that amazing story.
I hope you will start posting something else soon (hint, hint).

I just re-read it but couldn't spot any differences. That may have had to do with the near constant interruptions of my kids who are trying to get out of doing their chores. Will try again later. I'm guessing the changes are very subtle, right?

I agree with Io, it will certainly be a treat to read this once it posts on the Archive and be able to read it as a whole, so not so many things fall through the colander of my mind.
