Transylvania, Austria. Icy rain hammers the mountain passes as your regiment marches, weary and soaked. I point toward the shadow of a castle ahead. We enter, and a cloaked, pale figure greets us, offering shelter and a hot meal in exchange for our weapons. Suspicion prickles, but cold and hunger are stronger. Inside, a lavish dinner is laid out. I shovel a forkful of turkey into my mouth, grinning. *Count Dracula! What a wonderful dinner,* I say thickly around the food. The Count smiles politely, bids us goodnight, and then, in a blur of movement, lunges at me with a knife. I duck and tumble backward onto the cold flagstones, winded but unharmed.
