Vlad and Serena look at the river stream, standing with Transylvanian men, "I left it, where I found it." Shkelgim informs them, sitting down on the rock. "What do you think, Vlad, Serena?" Dimitru asks them, "Bring it to me." Vlad tells them. Dimitru walks over to the stream and pulls the helmet out between the rock. He then walks over to the siblings and handed it to Vlad, he looks at it and handed it to Serena.
"This belongs to a Scout. One of Hamza Bey's men." she states, examining the Turkish helmet, then she walks over to the river. "What the hell's a lone Turk doing out here?" Petru asks. "Turkish scouts never travel alone." she walks up to a rock, Vlad right behind her. "If there one, there more." she states, standing in the sun; a foot shorter then Vlad, long black hair, fair white skin, bright blue eyes and blood red lips. She wore men uniform, somewhat similar to Vlad's and had two daggers strap behind her. "And whatever they scout, they conquer." Vlad warns them.
Serena looks around the area and at the river. "This was wash downstream." she states, walking into the direction where the stream comes from, "Came from up there. Broken Tooth Mountain. Soon it will be night. They'll seek refuge." She tells them, Vlad looks back at the men, "Dimitru, I need you to return to the castle. Alert the guards and double the sentry." Vlad informs him. "What? I'm not leaving you both here." Dimitru protested.
"For the Turks to cross into our land unannounced is a sign of war." Vlad tells him, "And what are you going to do if you both find them?" he asks the Siblings, "We'll do what Princes and Princesses do best. Negotiate." Vlad tells him. "Nicolae, Andrei, with us." Serena tells them, then tosses the helmet to Dimitru and walks off with her brother and the two. "Fall in." Petru tells the other, Dimitru turns the helmet over and found claw marks in the metal and was now worry for his friends.
The four rode out to the Valley were Broke Tooth Mountain laies, a quiet place where no man dares to enter. They climb up to the mountain; Vlad and Serena look out to the valley as the two stood in front of a cave entrance, "Anything?" Andrei asks Nicolae, he pierces into the cave saw nothing but darkness, then a gentle breeze pushes out, Nicolae staggers back a bit as he coughs. "Smells like your feet." he tells him. They both chuckled and a swarm of bats fly out, Starting Nicolae and Andrei, the sibling just watches them leave the cave. Serena walks over to the cave, and draws out her blades, "They're inside." Vlad states, Standing next to Serena. "How do you know?" Andrei asks him, "Bats don't come out during the day, something's disturb them." Serena states, Vlad draws his sword and Serena heads in front, "Come on." Vlad tells them and they head in, after her.
Andrei lights a touch and saw that all kinds of armor and weapons were left in the cave to rot and rust. Vlad kneels down closer to the floor, taking a handful of the dirt. Serena kneels down beside him. "What is it, my lord?" Nicolae asks him. "The floor. It's crushed bone." Vlad states, Serena looks at him, "The Turks didn't do this." he states. "What's that?" Andrei asks them, looking at a pair of two red dot, staring at him.
Then was drag into the darkness. The siblings shot up to their feet. As Andrei scream, "We leave now." Vlad tells them, and they took off running. Then Nicolae was pulled into the darkness, screaming for mercy, Serena gulps as Vlad stood in the light, she slashes at the creature, but it pushes her to the ground, close to the Entrance "Serena!" Vlad shouts, she pulls herself to the sunlight as the creature charges for her. She laid in the sunlight, pointing her blade at it. It roars at her, but stops. Seeing that she laid in the sunlight and disappears back into the shadows. Vlad pulls her to her feet and the look at her blade, seeing the blood of the creature dissolve into thin air. She looks at Vlad and they took off down the mountain, mounted the horses and took off for the they arrive at Castle Dracula, they headed to the one person, that they know, who will keep a secret. "The creature that you've encountered was no accident, my Lord and Lady." Lucian inform them, as they walk into the church. "Four nights ago, every brother in our order awoke from an identical dream. I would not thought it possible had I not suffered the same vision myself that night." Lucian went on. The sibling look at him, "Of a creature laying siege to this holy place." he states, taking out a book and showing them a picture of a inhuman creature, other picture concealed inhuman fangs and claws. "The Roman mystics prophesied the coming of a great evil. A vampire. From the Greek word pi, to drink." Vlad looks at him as Serene kept her eyes on the pictures.
"The beast was once a mortal man who summon a demon from the depths of hell to trade for his dark powers." Lucien tells them the tale, "The demon trick the man, granting his wish, but his price was an eternity condemned to the darkness of that cave, where he remains until he finds another to set him free." Lucien finishes the tale. "Now you know it's true face" he states, "The people of Transylvania live in enough fear of the Turks' return." Serena spoke up, then looks at Lucian. "Promise us you'll guard this secret with your life, brother." Vlad asks of him. He nods at them and the siblings left the church.
Not only is the Turks' return bad enough, but a old vampire lives in the mountain, a legendary creature
