Son Of Dracula

Episode 1: Birth

[Dracula POV]

Transylvania, a land that I protected, and ruled over. Once, I was known as Vlad the Impaler. A certain credibility comes with your name, mine was impaling my enemies, once they were defeated. It sent a message to outsiders, who would dare to invade my kingdom. Every war, every battle, I fought to protect my homeland, and after every battle that was won, I would impale the remaining survivors.

For a long time, I sat on the throne as a Warlord. Drowing myself in the blood of my enemies, all to build a foundation of a new Transylvania, but as it turns out, I only knew so much about this land, and the creatures it holds. I have experienced this phenomena, when I was suffering from my own mortality. I was afraid to die, when I should have just accepted my fate, and passed on into the next life. I wandered into the forest, among getting there, I was drawn to this strong, but demonic force of nature. I have never felt power like this in all of my years.

I stumbled upon a cave, full of desaturated darkness and dread, I then hear a voice in the distance call out to me, it seethed with a sinister and insidious arua. As I got deeper and deeper into the cave, I could feel the temperature shift from hot to cold. My body already started to tremble, not at the cold air, but the dark aura that surrounds this cave.

I walk towards a demonic like figure, who has the face of a decaying creature. He looks at me, as if he was trying to peirce into my soul.

"Are you the one called Vlad The Impaler?" The Creature asks me, finally breaking the silence.

"Yes... Who are you?" I ask, my body trembling still.

"I am, Icarus." The Creature then extends his hand out to me.

"Kneel." I do so not out of fear, but out of astonishment. His power, was something I could not fathom.

"Why have you come here?" The Creature asks me.

"I do not know, what it was that drawed me to this place." I replied.

"Your corruption lead you to this cave, where the thousands of souls you killed, haunt these very grounds." Says The Creature.

"Souls? What do you mean?" I ask.

"This land, it is filled with magic, magic that has been around for centuries." I look to my left, and I see a chalice of some kind.

"That chalice, is filled with the blood of the demon, the blood of the devil." Says The Creature.

"You said I was corrupted, but I killed in the name of protecting this land." I say.

"Yes, you have... but in that process, you tainted your soul, and now you are on the verge of dying." The Creature says to me.

"I will do whatever it takes, to protect my people." I say, still trembling, this time from my aging body.

"Well then, you seem fit to hold this power. A man who is willing to become a monster, to save his people, speaks volumes about the desperation of ones self." Says The Creature.
