Dracula POV:
The sounds of birds chattering to one another and the gentle stream flowing and hitting the rocks, woke me up from my daydream. We searched for a helmet a fellow Transylvania told me about. I brought five of my guards and the man to where he had seen this item.
"I left it, where I found it." The Transylvanian man said as he sat up at a rock signing.

Everyone looked at me for an order.

"What do you think, Vlad?" Damitru, one of my men asked.

I thought and didn't hesitate to answer.
"Bring it to me." I ordered and one of my men instantly walked over to it casually to retrieve it to me. It was a a helmet, flowed by the river and stuck by rocks to end its journey any further.

The man stepped back over the rocks after he tugged for the helmet to come out from being stuck and gave it to me. I looked at the helmet and studied it carefully.
"This belongs to a scout. One of Hamza of Beys men." I said not long after.
"What the hell's a lone Turk doing out here?" Another one of my men asked.

I stepped on the rocks to find answers.

"Turkish scouts never travel alone." I pointed out as I kept searching.
"If there's one, there more. And whatever they scout, they conquer." I continued analysing my surroundings and the stream. Not long after, my answers came into place.
"This was washed downstream." I stepped on the rocks and went a little out into the river to see roughly where bouts.
"Came from up there." I called to the men. "Broken Tooth Mountain. Soon it will be night. They'll seek refuge. Damitru, I need you to return to the castle. Alert the guards and double the sentry."
"What? I'm not leaving you here." He said shocked with the request.
"For the Turks to cross into my land unannounced is a sign if war." I ensured him.
"What are you going to do if you find them?" Damitru asked in curiosity.
"Ill do what princes do best- negotiate. Nicolas, Andrei, with me." I said as I began to walk and handed the helmet to Damitru I turned back to see these men follow.
"Fall in!" One of my men shouted for the men to depart to the castle.
