Narration: 50 years ago...
Chambari had just finished taking his medical exams. While he was coming
home, he crossed the way of a vampire and learnt the death of his own
parents from his mouth. Distraught, he let the vampire embrace him.
Even if he became a vampire, Chambari swore he would never act like the
blood suckers who wolf down Life.
As he had dedicated his life to medicine, he would never become like those
who had killed his parents.

Narration: Then, during a troubled period, Chambelee wandered without a goal.
To put an end to his insatiable desire for blood, he left his master.
But struggling against hunger, avoiding people, some wishing nothing else
but death, he let Time pass until he lost its sense.
12 years later, he discovered by chance his power by putting his hand above
the wound of a hare. When he saw the wound fading, Hope was reborn in him.
He understood that thanks to this gift, he could at last carry out his dream
and become a Doctor.
Then...

Village: My rheumatism is acting up again. Couldn't you do something for it?
(Ouch, ouch...)
Picture 2
Chambari: Yes, of course.
Sign: Treatment and care are free
Chambari: Will you come in?
Picture 4
Chambari: All right, it's healed.
Villager: Oh!
Narration: Anywhere, anyhow, he was always curing them with goodwill.
Picture 5
Narration: He considered he was here for that.
Nothing could make him happier than seeing the smiling faces of the
villagers.
