Pale moonlight floods the secluded clearing in the ancient woods, falling upon a solitary figure in a severe black suit and a cape lined with violet silk. Count Dracula is rooted to the spot, his sharp blue eyes wide with shock. Eons of icy loneliness have been fractured in a single heartbeat. On the other side of the glade, a silhouette turns to face him, sheathed in argent light. The atmosphere hums with a palpable, mysterious energy. Dracula’s hand presses against his chest, where an organ dormant for centuries now quivers like a caged bird. Terror and rapturous anticipation battle inside his aristocratic frame as he ventures one cautious step forward, drawn by a fate he had long ago mourned.
