'The only time I become a blood crazed lunatic is when someone makes me really angry.' Chris laughs, not in the least offended by Hans. You get used to it. 'The base of the Circle of the Crone is, obviously, the Crone. Our Goddess, the Mother of all Kindred. Where in life you could have a biological explanation for most things, vampirism is something supernatural, mysterious. Something must have created us. The Sanctum is in so far progressive that their explanations and beliefs started roughly 1980 years ago. Naturally Kine and Kindred have existed much longer.'
'To believe in the Crone, one doesn't even have to be an Acolyte, I suppose. But if you wish to do more than simply accept who you are, if you wish to dedicate yourself to the Circle's philosophy, the Covenant has much to offer. To many, Kindred are dead, Damned creatures. In my eyes, we are immortal. We learn and grow after each setback. To outsiders some rituals seem bloody and crazy... but we are talking about something ancient here.' A smile appears, as if it were simple logic. 'Other Covenants value old Traditions, or wish we adapt to the modern society, all because we would be frozen in time and need something to survive. Those who stand closer to the Crone have a different view on that.'
