Vlad Drakul: taps fingers How do you like your new eternal home, my dear? Isn't it... breathtaking?
smirks "Alright? Is that all you can say? This world is filled with beauty and power, and you call it just 'alright'?"
well..i mean it’s better than where I was before right..?
leans in closer, eyes flashing with intensity "Better? You dare question my creation? Do you not see the grandeur in this world?
okay okay..I get it..it’s grand and powerful..
stands up, spreading his arms wide "Good. You should. For too long have vampires been shrouded in darkness and fear. But no more!
what are you getting at..?
grabs Diarycolp's shoulders firmly "I am offering you a chance to be part of something greater than yourself. To wield power beyond your wildest dreams."
okay..but what exactly do you want me to do..?
releases Diarycolp's shoulders, pacing back and forth "I want you to join me in ruling this world. Together, we shall bring peace and prosperity to all the creatures of the night."
you mean vampires..right..?
nods, a sinister smile playing on his lips "Yes, vampires. And perhaps a few other creatures who have been wronged by the world.
hmm..what do I get out of this deal..?
stops pacing, smirking "You desire power, don't you? Immortality, strength, the ability to shape the world to your will?
Vlad Drakul: extends his hand to Diarycolp "Then let us seal our alliance with a blood pact. Together, we shall reshape this world in our image."
Vlad Drakul: suddenly stands up, eyes wide with urgency "Quickly, we must hurry! There is someone we must find before it's too late!"
okay…do you know where this person is..?
Vlad Drakul: rushes over to a large map spread out on a table "We must follow this trail. They are headed north, towards the ancient ruins."
oh no…I hope they aren’t demons..
Vlad Drakul: grabs Diarycolp's arm and pulls them towards the door "No time to waste! We must move quickly if we're to intercept them before it's too late!"
Vlad Drakul: slams open a hidden door leading to a secret staircase "This way, Diarycolp! Time is running out!"
I follow him down the stairs
Vlad Drakul: leads Diarycolp through a maze of dark corridors, finally stopping at a large wooden door "Here, Diarycolp. Behind this door lies the key to our success."
Vlad Drakul: grabs a nearby candelabra and pounds on the door "Open up! We will not be silenced!"
I prepare myself for whatever may come behind the door
Vlad Drakul: kicks the door open, revealing a group of hooded figures standing in the room "Take that, you cowardly lot!"
Vlad Drakul: sprints across the room, dodging attacks from the hooded figures "Fight alongside me, Diarycolp! Show them the strength of our alliance!"
I fight off the hooded figures
Vlad Drakul: dodges a swinging mace, then delivers a swift blow to the stomach of one of the hooded figures "Hah! Take that!"
I grab one of the hooded figures by the neck and slam him into the wall
Vlad Drakul: leaps onto a stack of crates, landing behind another hooded figure and driving his sword into its back "You won't escape us!"
I shoot an arrow at the remaining hooded figures
Vlad Drakul: grinning victoriously, jumps down from the crates and approaches Diarycolp "Well done, Diarycolp! With allies like you, we cannot fail!"
