Excerpt of Myron Salazar Drake's Journal

Paris 4th September 1875

After my discovery of how to gain power from the creatures that made my life miserable for so long, I quickly learned that they had some very powerful allies and that I needed to shield myself from them. First I had to find out how to detect their presence as they are not visible most of the time. It is a bit like determining the place where a stone fell in the water, by looking at the ripples on the surface of the water. As a matter of fact these elusive creatures seem to be made of stone or use stone as a sort of « disguise ». I am certain that they are what some people call « golems » they can be called and trapped into mud* if you know how....

In my poem « Malaga », I made a reference to these terrifying creatures
« "... Soft laughter in the shadows and the smell of musk,
Sand dunes like grim guardians molded of clay..." »

Excerpt of Myron Salazar Drake's Journal

Vienna, 1875

After a couple of years I came to realise that the creature that had "attached" itself to me was no alone. Others like her were clinging to fellow humans, the signs were obvious. I decided to act upon this and turn the spear around. From a helpless albeit willing victim I was going to get some advantages from the situation.
...
Most victims had no idea about the power that this unholy association held. They only gained the "frisson" and a total dependance on their parasites. I found out by careful experimenting that there was a way to determine the intimate nature of a host-parasite relation and impose my will onto it. This allowed me a certain control over the succubus.
...

The device I designed to that effect while I was in self-imposed exile at the Wiltshire Manor, was crude but it served it's purpose splendidly. You needed the host's blood as a catalyst, and a ring of pure silver engraved with the proper symbols for the reading. By analysing the alignement of the symbols I could read the nature of the dual relationship to ...

... by intervening, discreetly or not, depending on my intentions, I could either "persuade" the human host to relinquish some of his riches, or the inhuman parasite to relinquish a part of it's magical powers. I do realise that I am confiding the secret to my extraodinary powers, but I doubt anyone else will ever be able to find out what I have.
