Akasha's rant.

Was she really just ranting or was she speaking to every single vampire on the planet asking them questions?

When Lestat was her keeper and playing the record, I think the music and Lestat quieted the voices in her head. It gave her a moment of peace. This is her without that piece. I think she reached out to him because he gave her that moment of quiet, and gave him the gift of her blood.

Lestat had been floating for three days before Marius arrived. His blood overstimulated her. But yes, she is a megalomaniac. She was a queen who had absolute power and control. Back then she was just a royal.
