Do you think you are alive because you can fight? You are alive because me! Because of what I did to save you!

It's not a child's place to save his country.

Run to your mother.

Master Vampire
Why spill blood if not for the pleasure of it?
Vlad
Because men do not fear swords. They fear monsters. They run from them. By putting one village to the stake, I spared ten more. Sometimes the world no longer needs a hero. Sometimes what it needs... is a monster.
Master Vampire
And you believe you know what it means to be a monster? Hmm?... You have no idea... but I'm going to show you.
Master Vampire
I have been waiting an eternity for a man of your strength to arrive. But what kind of man crawls into his own grave in search of hope?
Vlad
A desperate one.
Master Vampire
Drink. You will have a taste of my power: the strength of a hundred men, the speed of a falling star, dominion over the night and all its creatures, to see and hear through their senses... even heal grievous wounds.
Vlad
At what price?
Master Vampire
Once you drink, your thirst for human blood will be insatiable. But if you can resist for three days, you will return to your mortal state, having sampled my power and, perhaps, saved your people.
Vlad
And if I feed?
Master Vampire
The price would be worse than if you'd never stepped in here. For I will be set free, having granted the darkness a worthy offering. You will become its vessel, as I am. A scourge on this earth, destined to destroy everything you hold dear: your lands, your people, even your precious wife and son.
Vlad
I would die before I harmed them.
Master Vampire
Indeed you will, I'm afraid. I, however, will at last be free to unleash my wrath against the one who betrayed me. And one day, I will call on you to serve me, my pawn, in an immortal game of revenge.
Vlad
This is not a game!
Master Vampire
Ahh, but what better way to endure eternity? For this, little prince, is the ultimate game. Light versus dark, hope versus despair. And all the world's fate hangs in the balance.
Vlad
Then it will be my great pleasure to disappoint you.
Master Vampire
Drink. Let the games begin.
Vlad
Why think separately of this life and the next...
Mirena
When one is born from the last.
Mirena
(as Vlad cuts the tent open and his skin burns)
What is happening to you? No! Stop it! (as she pulls him into the shadows) May God strike down whoever did this to you!
Vlad
(pained)
I chose this!
Mirena
This is the strength you sought? But why?
Vlad
Because I sent corpses back to Mehmed, instead of our son.
Mirena
(in tears)
You did this for us?
Vlad
In two days, I'll be restored... I just have to resist.
Mirena
Resist what? (Vlad says nothing) Resist what, Vlad? Tell me!
Vlad
The thirst... for blood.
Master Vampire
Do your people know how many innocents you have killed? Was it hundreds?
Vlad
Yes.
Master Vampire
(grabs Vlad by the throat)
Lie to me again, and I'll open you from your belly to your brain and feed you your intestines.
Vlad
Thousands!
Master Vampire
And when you put them to the stake, what did you feel? Shame? Horror? Power? ANSWER ME!!!
Vlad
Nothing! I felt nothing. A greater crime than the act itself.
Mehmed
(about the silver surrounding them)
Tell me, how long can you bear it in here? Huh?
Vlad
Long enough to strike your name from the history books.
