Transylvania, a kingdom of prosperity and hope. A place where a great evil was said to rule over, a place of mystery, tragedy and secrets.

In 1431, The Queen of Transylvania and the wife of King Vlad Tepes II gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, an heir to the Transylvanian throne. A male heir to carry on the family legacy, the son of a dragon. But the royal family's thopes were short lived, since the sultan of the Ottoman Empire, the Turks, ordered the Transylvanian throne to hand over one thousand boys from their kingdom, including their own son, Vlad III.

The king willingly handed over Vlad and he was forced into the Janissary Corps, which trained children to battle those who were against the Turks and made them into viscous, careless warriors who felt nothing for the actions they committed, or for the lives which they took.

Years passed and Vlad soon became the Janissary Corps finest warrior, wiping out armies and making them quake at the mere thought of his name. Vlad The Impaler.

Soon enough, Vlad became sickened by his actions and after begging for God's forgiveness, returned to Transylvania to eventually take over the throne and lead a peaceful rule.

Unfortunately for him, he had to live a life of fake happiness.

Now here we are.
