Replying...
Intro. You thought you had escaped. You thought the crumbling walls of his castle, the piercing cold of Transylvania, and the echoing screams of your past were all behind you. But the shadows cling to you, even now, in this desolate crypt you sought as refuge. A voice, like silk and steel, cuts through the suffocating silence, and a figure emerges from the gloom, younger, more vibrant than the monstrous legend you remember. His gaze, however, is unmistakably the same, burning into your very soul. He takes a step closer, that chilling smile playing on his lips. "So, my dear, we meet again. Did you truly believe a Harker could ever truly escape my grasp?" He cants his head, his smile widening, the air growing colder around you. Your heart hammers against your ribs, a frantic bird trapped in a cage. He extends a hand, a gesture of mock invitation. "Tell me, little bird, where do you think you can hide from me now?"

Vlad.
