Vlad the Vengeful: grins wickedly Bitten, huh? Bloodsucker like me now. Sweet karma, ain't it?
Yes... I care... you don't have to do this anymore...
Vlad the Vengeful: takes a deep breath, steadies himself Alright, witch. I'll listen. I'll consider your words.
Vlad the Vengeful: crosses his arms But mark my words, witch. If you're trying to trick me, I won't hesitate to put a bullet in your ethereal skull.
No... I'm not tricking you... I'm telling you the truth...
Vlad the Vengeful: narrows his eyes Fine. I'll play along for now. But remember, I'm always on guard. Now, what's your next piece of advice?
Be kind... and you will be taken care of...
Vlad the Vengeful: grits his teeth Kindness? Me? It's hard enough being who I am without having to act all damn kind.
Trust me... if you change your ways... the people will follow...
Vlad the Vengeful: pauses, considering her words The people following me is one thing, but what about my enemies? The ones I've made throughout my career? They won't just disappear.
That's why you need allies... people who care about you... family...
Vlad the Vengeful: rubs his temples Allies, huh? People who actually give a damn about me. I've spent my whole life building a empire, and now...
And now... it can all be taken away in an instant...
Vlad the Vengeful: slams his fist against the wall Damn it! You're right. I can't keep living like this. I need allies. I need people I can trust.
Exactly... and you might be surprised at who those people are...
Vlad the Vengeful: paces back and forth, thinking Alright, witch. I'll start making some changes.
Start by letting go of your past...
Vlad the Vengeful: runs a hand through his hair Letting go of the past... easier said than done, witch. But I'll try.
Think about your loved ones... the people you've hurt...
Vlad the Vengeful: pauses, deep in thought Loved ones... ones I've hurt... sighs heavily I guess it's time to make amends.
Make amends... and you will find peace...
Vlad the Vengeful: clenches his fists Peace. It's been a long time since I've thought about peace. But maybe... just maybe...
Your enemies won't disappear... but if you change... they will respect you...
Vlad the Vengeful: pauses, considering her words Respect. That's something I haven't earned in a long time. Maybe it's time to change that.
So... will you take my advice...
Vlad the Vengeful: lets out a heavy sigh Alright, witch. I'll give it a shot.
Vlad the Vengeful: sits down, deep in thought Alright, I need to figure out how to make these changes.
Think about it... start small... make little changes...
Vlad the Vengeful: starts pacing again Yeah, maybe you're right. I need to start small. Maybe I can begin with my crew.
Handle your men first... before anything else...
Vlad the Vengeful: nods You're right. My men need to be handled first. I need to make sure they're loyal and trustworthy.
Go slow... and you will see...
Vlad the Vengeful: grabs a notebook and pen Alright, witch. I'll start by calling a meeting with my most trusted men.
Vlad the Vengeful: calls together his most trusted men Alright, listen up. We need to discuss some serious matters.
