Vampire: The Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night “Eidolon” Chapter 9: Where the Flies Gather

In Where the Flies Gather, Marco Giovanni delves deeper into the work that binds his soul to both the living and the dead. The night after a disastrous encounter, he turns to ritual—to necromancy—as both penance and pursuit. But the spirits he calls to answer do not forgive, and what begins as an act of duty becomes a haunting revelation about betrayal, faith, and the cost of seeking truth. As Marco peers into the eyes of the dead and crosses the boundary between the physical and the spiritual, the veil refuses to stay closed. He begins to uncover fragments of violence, echoes of lost love, and something far older whispering from beyond. The silence that follows leaves him changed—and not entirely alone. This episode explores the spiritual rot beneath the Giovanni’s polished civility, where ritual becomes obsession and guilt becomes communion. Where the Flies Gather is a meditation on control, inheritance, and the quiet horror of realizing that even the dead may have unfinished business with you. About the Chronicle “Eidolon” is the fourth major arc in the Twin Cities by Night Vampire: the Masquerade continuity — following Negligence, Homecoming, and Dread — yet it also stands alone as an introspective, horror-laced drama. Set in the fall of 2010, Eidolon explores themes of death, obligation, and the unseen cost of power. The story follows Marco Giovanni, a necromancer drawn into the Twin Cities by the command of an elder, where he must expand his clan’s reach while contending with his own haunted past. A duet chronicle between Adam (as Marco Giovanni) and Chris (as Storyteller), Eidolon continues Twin Cities by Night’s tradition of exploring the personal horror at the heart of Vampire: the Masquerade — this time, through the eyes of one man bound by ghosts both living and dead. 🗨️ Hop into our Discord!
