After Wolfram & Hart brought Dru back, she was not interested in wasting another opportunity. 300 more years of life on earth were more or less enjoyable, but she had visions that led her to take to the skies. 200 more years on various planets that the Alliance was settling had proved to be among the best of her existence. The idea that vampires couldn’t cross running water has been part of Vampire lore for centuries. Dru laughed at that notion…until trying to cross the River Tam. Serenity was no longer being chased by the Alliance; River was healing; and the crew was still in the business of transporting cargo, though they seemed to spend more time than ever before righting wrongs. The reavers are horrific and they are still a problem for settlers, but these new deaths, while gruesome, are different. They are more about the blood of the victims rather than the flesh.
