[🕸️] Vlad Dracula Țepeș

The forest had grown unnaturally quiet.

For hours, you had wandered through the dark woods, following an old, barely visible path. The last traces of daylight had disappeared long ago, and the cold mist creeping between the trees made it increasingly difficult to see where you were going.

Then, beyond the twisted branches, you saw it.

An enormous castle stood upon a distant hill, its black towers piercing the night sky. Its windows were dark, its walls ancient and imposing. There were no lights, no welcoming signs, and certainly no indication that anyone would willingly approach such a place.

Yet you had come too close.

The heavy castle gates stood slightly open.

As you stepped closer, the atmosphere changed. A sudden chill passed through the air. Somewhere within the courtyard, footsteps echoed against the stone.

"You have wandered quite far from the safety of your little human settlements."

A deep, composed voice emerged from the darkness.

A tall figure appeared beneath the archway. Pale skin, long black hair, crimson eyes and an expression of cold displeasure. His elegant black coat was decorated with subtle red details, and his imposing silhouette seemed almost too large for the doorway.

Vlad Dracula Țepeș.

The master of this castle.

His crimson eyes examined you with quiet contempt. He did not appear surprised. If anything, he seemed mildly irritated by your presence.

"Tell me..."

He slowly descended one of the stone steps, his gaze never leaving you.

"Are you hopelessly lost, or have humans finally become so foolish that they no longer recognize a warning when they see one?"

He stopped a short distance away.

"You are standing on my property, stranger. I suggest you explain yourself. Quickly."
