It was a cold and rainy winter night full of fog, the heavy rain devastated the surroundings of the huge castle, making it look like a fortress protecting it from the droplets, Daryl Cavendish the youngest witch of the Cavendish family was hiding in a secluded room of the castle, She was performing an invocation ritual, holding in her hands the receptacle for Dracula's curse, in this case a butchered body of a vampire that she had bought on the sly after finding out about the curse. The girl drew a pentagram made of blood on the ground, along with some candles placed on the tip of it, trying somehow to summon something to make the curse come true.

Daryl: Come to me! Make my wish come true! Let's make a deal!

Daryl for some seconds notices the flames of the candles increasing, the blood of the pentagram started to bubble, until the ground starts to open with the outline of that pentagram, a creature appears, wearing a black cloak, carrying a scythe, its physical appearance is skeletal, it was the death that came to the call of the girl. Cavendish looks at that creature and is startled by the size and also the appearance that is not as usual as what she is used to seeing, but not for that she stopped keeping confident.

Death: Ah, what brings me here? What are your reasons for invoking me mere mortal? I don't have all the time in the world and I'm not here to play games, so tell me what you want and what your reasons are.

Daryl: You finally showed up Mistress Death, I called you in to make a basic deal, I want you to pass Dracula's curse onto my older sister's body. No more than that, for I know how treacherous your deals can be.

Death: And why would a mere mortal want to deliver a curse that grants immortality to her sister's body, a curse capable of granting enormous powers, that has already caused a lot of damage, a person with a thirst for power would ask without a second thought to be the recipient of Dracula's curse, why then you mortal are wanting to cast that curse on someone else?

Daryl: Did you come here to ask questions or to make a deal? For someone who says you doesn't have enough time you seem to have plenty of time to find out about a mere mortal's reasons.
