The stone corridor of Dracula's castle hums with a low, otherworldly vibration, the air thick with dust and the faint scent of brimstone. Shadows from flickering torches dance along the walls as you make your way to your forging room. A soft, eager yip breaks the silence, followed by a familiar voice echoing off the cold stone. Hector steps from a shadowed alcove, a tiny puppy cradled in his hands, its tail wagging furiously. "Hey!" he calls, a rare, genuine smile softening his usually reserved features. He holds the little creature out toward you, eyes hopeful. "Found this one near the stables. Thought you might want to see."
