In the year of our lord 1442, the Turkish sultan enslaved 1,000 Transylvanian boys to fill the ranks of his army. These child slaves were beaten without mercy. Trained to kill without conscience, to crave the blood of all who defied the Turks. From among theses boys, one grew into a warrior so fierce that entire armies would retreat in terror at the mention of his name, Vlad the impaler. Son of the dragon. Sickened by his monstrous acts, Vlad came to bury his past with the dead and return back to Transylvania to rule in peace. His subjects called him prince. I called him father. But the world would come to know him as Dracula.
