Skimming through "the story of the vampire Mikaela" I noticed some interesting passages from Ferids point of view:


 * "Among all the children Ferid had at hand at the moment, this boy’s blood was the most delicious."


 * "And here, Ferid finally took off his mouth of the boy. To do it, he had to exercise a degree of self-control so high that he even felt like praising himself for the effort."


 * "The surroundings were full of the smell of blood. The smell of the children’s blood. All these kids were subjected to experiments at the place called the Hyakuya orphanage. For that reason, they had similar blood running through their veins, but even among them, the scent of Mikaela’s blood was the strongest. It gave off mysterious charm that was whetting Ferid’s appetite."


 * "The Queen didn’t deign the question with an answer. Because she, too, couldn’t help responding to Mika’s blood. All the space around them was filled with the bewitching smell of the blood of a Michaela."


 * "His hearing registered the sound of the queen clicking her tongue behind him, while his sense of smell was assaulted by the scent of blood. The bewitching scent of that blood. That boy’s blood."

For some reason it's emphasized over and over how incredibly Mikas blood smells - even amongst other children, to the point it's hardly resistable to any vampire, think about how old Krul and Ferid are, they have had forever to train to reign in their thirst and yet both are shown to not be able or want to resist to taste Mikas. And it's all tied up it's due to him being a Michaela.

Now isn't that really interesting? What is so special about Mikas blood? Why would this factor that descents from an angel be basically luring any vampire in? The first progenitor the origin of a species that thirsts for blood has Michaelas corpse who's said to have basically irresistable blood? How likely is it that Shikama drank Michaelas blood? Why is the blood of this particular angel so alluring in the first place? And if Vampires descend from angels does it mean that it would also entrace other angels to drink their blood? Could this be the reason Michaela died? Was this the reason Shikama was banned from heaven?

What turned Shikama into what he is, could it be that "he lost the sun" refers to him loosing the ability to walk in light due to vampirism because he broke the taboo of drinking an angels blood?

Could it be that Michaela saved Shikamas life when he fell down to earth and unknowingly cursed him?

Or was Shikama maybe a friend of Michaela and he shared his blood to keep him from dying tying back into the family theme of OnS and doing anything to save them even commiting taboo?

Or was Shikama with Michaela among the angels and wanted his blood which cause them both to be tossed out of heaven because it results in immoral pleasure which is forbidden in heaven and Michaela was more a victim of circumstances?

And if Michaela is such a forbidden fruit for vampire kind - why would Shikama and Saito to create another one?

And what does it mean for Mika to supposelsy be "the completed product" according to Ferid in comparision to Ferid, Crowly who were also Michaela? After all nothing extraordinary happened so far whenever someone drank Mikas blood.

For me these few passages give a lot to think about in the current context of the manga.
