Winter, 1979. Transylvania
A blizzard, of unnatural size and ferocity appeared out of nowhere with no warning at all. Covering the land in a thick white veil of snow and ice that stretched on for miles upon miles. The blizzard, while intense, lasted only for an hour. But the storm carried in its winds something far worse than a foot of snow.
A Castle. Enormous in size, seemed to appear out of nowhere during the middle of the storm.
This Castle, is one that has been discussed and talked about for centuries.
This Castle is one of Nightmares.
This Castle, only appears when the end of man is approaching.
This Castle, has only one master. And he goes by only one name.
Dracula
Atop this castle. In its highest tower. Two men walk into the throne room. One man has long Snow White hair and a black trench coat with purple accents. He stands tall at 6'9 and seems to be the image of human perfection. Perfect posture, a body riddled with lean muscle, and an aura that demands respect and obedience. Behind him. A lanky frail man. His crooked spine making him slouch severely. His bald head plagued with boils and pimples that exude all kinds of pus. His misshapen face grinning, showing his rotten and missing teeth. "Master? Is this it?"
"Yes it is."
The tall man steps into the middle of the room. A long elegant red carpet stretched all the way to the end of the room, where a large wooden chair rested. Its stunning woodworking and craftsmanship making it the most beautiful thing in the room. The man eyed it hungrily. "Ah, my throne." He begins to walk towards it, his footsteps echoing across the silent room. To his right a row of suits of armor wielding large axes rest silently. And to his left a large glass window. Showing off the view of the rest of the Castle and the surrounding lands. The large winter moon shining behind a thicket of clouds. The crooked man follows behind after looking around the room.
"Master, is this room all that you have dreamed? Does it live up to your expectations?"
"Yes. It does. It is perfect." He reaches the throne and runs his snow white hand over the armrest. He turns to the crooked man, "Gilgro. We have made it. We have in our hands the means to the end. The humans that pollute this beautiful land. They will soon be purged. And my people will finally be able to rule this land."
Gilgro smiled. "But Master Luchin, have I done well to please you? Have I done right?"
The man grins. "Yes Gilgro, you have served me very faithfully. And you will soon be rewarded. But Gilgro, do not refer to me as Luchin anymore."
"Master? What should I call you then?"
The man sits on the throne, a look of satisfaction spreads across his face. His jet black eyes narrowed.
"Dracula."
