Amarthdáe considered thinking of a lie to tell the vampire as to why he kept vials of his own blood, but... Perhaps this was the time to reveal his secret....

"The secret of forging Aedrum was passed down to me by Auriel himself. it requires a block of pure moonstone, and seven drops of pure elven blood to create.
