*Vlad lifted his hands at chest height and began to make them clap, applauding with elegance.*

-Well, I would like to congratulate you. I thought my kind had no hope and that I should end their existence, but you have created a legend of your own.

*He stated*

*A slight grin formed on his face. What was a sanctuary of calm, seemed to shift into something more...primal. Then the light of the place began to gradually dim as if covered by something.*

-Well...I was actually looking for you. I have heard a lot about you Dandridge...some call you The Butcher.

*The count dedicated a small gesture on the form of a bow to Jerry just as the shadow projected on the wall behind turned back to a human silhouette.*

-Pleasure is all mine, my name is Vladislaus Tepes.

*He responded, with a confident smile.*

*Vlad descends from the wall followed by a trail of bats made from fog and smoke, making quite a show as he lands on the ground. His eyes are sparking with devilish blackness.*

-No, I do not think we had the pleasure yet.

*He indicated, calm and talking with a thick accent.*
