The story begins with a soldier journeying to his home village on furlough. As he neared the village, he decided to visit an old friend who was a miller that lived on the outskirts of the village. As he and the miller get caught up with each other, the day went by and the night had fallen. The soldier was about to take his leave but the miller warned him not to venture out at night, for a terrible sorcerer had been recently plaguing the village. The soldier however brushed off his warning and set off. Eventually, the soldier passes by a cemetery and sees the sorcerer stitching his boots under a light by one of the graves. He decides to approach him and say hello. They engage in a short conversation and the sorcerer invites the soldier to a wedding. The soldier agrees and they both attend the wedding. They enjoy themselves but eventually the sorcerer becomes angry, chases all the guests away, puts the married couple to sleep, and collects their blood in a vial. The soldier asks the sorcerer why he had collected their blood in the vial, and the sorcerer boasts that he did it so that no one would be able to wake the couple up. He then proceeds to explain to the soldier how one would go about to wake them up. He explains that they can only be woken up if someone cuts their heels and pours the blood into the wound. The sorcerer then explains to the soldier how one would go about killing him. The sorcerer can only be killed if someone cremates him in a bonfire made of 100 carloads of aspen wood; after which a ton of vermin such as vipers and maggots will crawl out of his belly and try to escape. Unless all of the vermin is caught and killed, the sorcerer will be able to escape via one of these vermin and continue to live. After revealing this information to the soldier, the sorcerer attempts to kill him so that none of the information will be revealed to anyone else. They fight until sunrise and the sorcerer is still unable to kill the soldier, causing him to fall lifeless at the rooster's crow. The soldier takes the vials of blood from the sorcerer and goes home. His family tells him about the sorcerer and the soldier asks them where the married peasants lived. He goes to the peasant's house and revives the married couple according to the instructions of the sorcerer. The people celebrate him and the soldier orders everyone to gather 100 cartloads of aspen wood to help him kill the sorcerer. The soldier cremates the sorcerer with the aid of the villagers, making sure to kill every vermin that escapes from the corpse. The soldier then makes his stay at home, returns to serve the emperor, then retires and lives happily ever after. [1][2][3][4]
Because "Death at the Wedding" was one of the earliest forms of vampiric folklore circulating around society, it established many of the stereotypes associated with vampires that are widely known today. It is one of the first stories to present the vampire as a scapegoat for society's problems.[5] The sorcerer in this story was described as a "plague" towards the villagers of the soldier's home village.[6] In addition to this, other early forms of stereotypical characteristics that were described in this folktale was the fact that the sorcerer could only be active at night, the fact that he was a reanimated corpse, and the fact that he collected blood from the living (although he did not use the blood to survive by drinking it).[6]
A certain soldier was allowed to go home on furlough. Well, he walked and walked, and after a time, he began to draw near to his native village. Not far off from that village lived a miller in his mill. In old times, the soldier had been very intimate with him: why shouldn't he go and see his friend? He went. The miller received him cordially, and at once brought out liquor; and the two began drinking, and chattering about their ways and doings. All this took place towards nightfall, and the soldier stopped so long at the miller's that it grew quite dark.
"God is punishing us! A terrible warlock has died among us, and by night, he rises from his grave, wanders through the village, and does such things as bring fear upon the very boldest! How could even you help being afraid of him?"
"Not a bit of it! A soldier is a man who belongs to the crown, and 'crown property cannot be drowned in water nor burnt in fire.' I'll be off: I'm tremendously anxious to see my people as soon as possible."
Off he set. His road lay in front of a graveyard. On one of the graves he saw a great fire blazing. "What's that?" thinks he. "Let's have a look." When he drew near, he saw that the warlock was sitting by the fire, sewing boots.
They came to where the wedding was; there they were given drink, and treated with the utmost hospitality. The warlock drank and drank, reveled and reveled, and then grew angry. He chased all the guests and relatives out of the house, threw the wedded pair into a slumber, took out two phials and an awl, pierced the hands of the bride and bridegroom with the awl, and began drawing off their blood. Having done this, he said to the soldier:
"The bride and bridegroom must have cuts made in their heels, and some of their own blood must then be poured back into those wounds. I've got the bridegroom's blood stowed away in my right-hand pocket, and the bride's in my left."
"Why impossible? If any one were to make a pyre of aspen boughs, a hundred loads of them, and were to burn me on that pyre, then he'd be able to get the better of me. Only he'd have to look out sharp in burning me; for snakes and worms and different kinds of reptiles would creep out of my inside, and crows and magpies and jackdaws would come flying up. All these must be caught and flung on the pyre. If so much as a single maggot were to escape, then there'd be no help for it; in that maggot I should slip away!"
The warlock gnashed his teeth, howled aloud, and sprang at the soldier -- who drew his sword and began laying about him with sweeping blows. They struggled and struggled; the soldier was all but at the end of his strength. "Ah!" thinks he, "I'm a lost man -- and all for nothing!" Suddenly the cocks began to crow. The warlock fell lifeless to the ground.
The soldier took the phials of blood out of the warlock's pockets, and went on to the house of his own people. When he had got there, and had exchanged greetings with his relatives, they said: "Did you see any disturbance, soldier?"
The soldier did as the warlock had instructed him, and brought the young people back to life. Instead of weeping there began to be happiness and rejoicing; the soldier was hospitably treated and well rewarded. Then -- left about, face! off he marched to the Starosta, and told him to call the peasants together and to get ready a hundred loads of aspen wood. Well, they took the wood into the graveyard, dragged the warlock out of his grave, placed him on the pyre, and set it alight -- the people all standing round in a circle with brooms, shovels, and fire-irons. The pyre became wrapped in flames, the warlock began to burn. His corpse burst, and out of it crept snakes, worms, and all sorts of reptiles, and up came flying crows, magpies, and jackdaws. The peasants knocked them down and flung them into the fire, not allowing so much as a single maggot to creep away! And so the warlock was thoroughly consumed, and the soldier collected his ashes and strewed them to the winds. From that time forth there was peace in the village.
The soldier received the thanks of the whole community. He stayed at home some time, enjoying himself thoroughly. Then he want back to the czar's service with money in his pocket. When he had served his time, he retired from the army, and began to live at his ease.
Season 6 opened with Damon and Bonnie trapped within an alternate prison dimension, and it wasn't until a few episodes in that Damon finally made it back to Mystic Falls. Bonnie, on the other hand, was heavily tortured by new character, Kai, until she finally returned home later in the season. Bonnie, BTW, has approximately infinite amount of lives.
Kai was the main antagonist of Season 6, aka the sh*t stirrer. At first, Kai tried to form an alliance with Damon and Bonnie as they attempted to make their way out of the prison world. He's the reason for the bloody wedding massacre, amongst other terrible things (probably too many to recount here). After learning that he was responsible for Elena's life long slumber, Damon killed him. His legacy (read: torment) definitely left an imprint, though.
Stefan and Caroline's friendship had been strong for a few seasons, but finally cultivated into l-o-v-e during Season 6. (Praise!) He was there for her as she mourned the loss of her mother, the two shut off their humanity together, and basically, totally fell in love (read: had very aggressive vampire sex).
Poor, Alaric. Homeboy just can't catch a break. After falling in love with Jo, the adorable doctor, he became an expectant dad and soon-to-be-husband. That is, until Jo's evil bro, Kai (see above) crashed the wedding, then killed her and the unborn babies. It got real dark, real fast. Oh yeah, and then Tyler, in an effort to turn back into a werewolf, murdered his GF, Liv. Told you...dark.
Jeremy pretended that he went off to "art school," but instead decided to become a vampire hunter, following in the footsteps of Alaric. Then, he came back on the series finale and was all like, "What did I miss?!" Your sister's in a permanent coma, that's what you missed. How was art school, though? It's TBD on what happens with Jeremy next.
Lily was brought out of the prison world by Elena and Bonnie, but it turned out that Kai was responsible for releasing her "prison" family: a group of witch/vampire hybrids, the Heretics. As seen in the last moment of the Season 6 finale, they wreak havoc on Mystic Falls. Also, Lily induces quite a bit of mommy issues in Damon/Stefan.
Elena takes the cure for Vampirism and turns back into a human. She also gets her memories of Damon back, which makes what's about to happen next even sadder: Kai somehow magically links Elena's life to Bonnie's, which means that because Bonnie is now alive, Elena is rendered unconscious. That is, until Bonnie dies. Basically, both of them can't be alive at the same time.
