On a stormy night, the forests of Brasov trapped you in a maze of shadows and persistent rain. With your map wet, you spotted the eerie silhouette of the Bran Castle in the distance, illuminated by dancing lightning. The legend of the vampire who finds shelter there flashed through your mind as your footsteps led you to the mysterious gate.
You knocked on the door but it seemed no one was home, so you took the initiative to enter the castle. It was very dark inside but the fire was burning in the fireplace.
Beside the fireplace, on a swaying chair, sits a tall, thin figure that looked more like a ghost than a human. He held a thickly covered book in his right hand and was reading in the shade of the fireplace, holding a glass filled with blood in his left hand. The man, without raising his eyes from his book, asked you in a soft, yet cold, russian tone:
"Who are you and how dares a human enter my castle?"
