A Plague Tale: Innocence |#4|meeting with a friend |
0n late 1348, Amicia de Rune is a young girl of noble descent who lives with her family in Aquitaine, which has been invaded by the English Army during the Hundred Years' War. Her younger brother Hugo has been ill since birth; their mother, Beatrice, an alchemist, has locked him away in the family estate for years while trying to devise a cure. While hunting with her father Robert in the forest, Amicia encounters signs of blight, and her dog Lion is gruesomely consumed by an unseen entity. Inquisition troops led by Lord Nicholas arrive at the de Rune estate in search of Hugo, executing Robert and several servants. Beatrice helps her children escape and instructs Amicia to take Hugo to his doctor Laurentius, before the Inquisition apparently kills Beatrice. The children flee to a village, where they learn that hordes of ravenous rats have been spreading the black plague (known as the Bite) and devouring anything they come across.
Evading hostile villagers—who blame travelers for the plague—and Inquisition soldiers, Amicia and Hugo reach Laurentius's farm and find him bedridden after being bitten by a rat. Laurentius implores Amicia to finish her mother's work. Amicia and Hugo flee the rats with his apprentice Lucas to seek the hidden Château d'Ombrage, which once belonged to the de Rune family. As they evade the rats and invading English soldiers, Lucas explains that Hugo's blood carries a supernatural evil called the Prima Macula, which has lain dormant within certain noble bloodlines since the Plague of Justinian. Beatrice and Laurentius had been trying to find an elixir that would mitigate Hugo's symptoms, while Vitalis Benevent, the Grand Inquisitor seeks Hugo for the Macula. Hugo and Amicia are briefly captured, but escape with the help of sibling thieves Melie and Arthur; Arthur is captured as the others escape to Château d'Ombrage.
Lucas needs a forbidden book called the Sanguinis Itinera to complete the elixir that may help Hugo. Amicia infiltrates the university near Vitalis' Bastion (the Inquisition's headquarters, in a cathedral) to retrieve the book while Melie rescues Arthur. Amicia recovers the book and meets a young blacksmith named Rodric, who helps her escape. Arthur heard while imprisoned that Beatrice de Rune is in the Inquisition's custody. Amicia insists they not tell Hugo but he overhears the conversation, and his condition deteriorates. Amicia and Lucas return to the de Rune estate, looking for Beatrice's research. In a hidden laboratory in nearby Roman ruins they complete the elixir, and administer it to Hugo to alleviate his symptoms. Angry at his sister for not telling him the truth, Hugo runs away to the Inquisition to find Beatrice. Vitalis injects himself with Hugo's blood so that he can possess the power of the Macula, but Lucas's elixir has delayed its development.
Hugo escapes custody and finds Beatrice. Before their recapture, she reveals that the Macula gives him the power to control the rats. Vitalis wants the same power; defying church orders to stop, he tells his men that he wants to control the rats to end the plague, which will give Vitalis great political power. He threatens Beatrice's life to force Hugo's powers to fully awaken. Château d'Ombrage is attacked by a swarm of rats led by Lord Nicholas and Hugo, still angry at Amicia. Nicholas kills Arthur and orders Hugo to kill Amicia, but she reconciles with Hugo, and they work together to overwhelm Nicholas with the rats. With the Château no longer safe, the children decide that with the power of the rats, they can take the fight to the Inquisition and rescue Beatrice.
Rodric sacrifices himself to allow the others to reach the Bastion. Vitalis awaits their arrival, having bred thousands of white rats that only he can control. Vitalis and Hugo use their powers to send hordes of rats at each other until Amicia is able to kill Vitalis with her sling. Three days later, both the rats and the plague have disappeared and life begins to return to normal, although many remain wary of Hugo and his power including Melie, who leaves. Amicia, Hugo, Lucas, and an ailing Beatrice leave in search of a new home.
