(as moves to follow Vlad and Mina)

Let the games begin.

Master Vampire
(to Dracula)

For centuries, these moldering walls have been my gallows. For I am bound to this cave, condemned by one who turned me. Oh, and I have waited an eternity for a man of your strength, your gifts, your will. A man worthy of the dark and all its powers. For if I am your salvation, you are mine.

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.

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.
