Elysian code, translated below into English, is really quite simple in written form:

Therefore, if one wanted to write “Let’s go out for a bite” in Elysian code, one would write:

Likewise, if one wanted to write “I sucked rubies from his veins” in Elysian code, one would write:

Speaking Elysian code is another matter altogether, as the complex sounds of the vampire language cannot be translated onto a page. One must hear Elysian code spoken often in order to learn to speak it oneself. In fact, many young vampires of one hundred years of age or less are commonly confused by the spoken vampire language, despite their daily exposure to it. It is doubtful that you will learn to speak Elysian code at all, Vladimir, as you do not experience daily interaction with other vampires. But fear not-reading the vampire language is just as important.

Please work hard to memorize Elysian code, and immediately begin your studies of the Compendium of Conscientia. It is very important that you do.

On a personal note, I’m enjoying our exchange of letters greatly. I confess I have not felt this great a connection with another vampire since your father left Elysia. Please do keep writing. And give my best to Nelly.

Yours in Eternity,
