Godfather [[Gideon (A Bloody And Public Domaine)|Gideon]] and Godfather [[Auteur]] are at the stop of the [[Shadow Spire]] in the [[Eleven-Day Empire]] listening to a recording of Godfather [[Morlock]]'s personal testimony on a phonograph. | |||
Morlock admits to being fascinated in the role [[Vlad III|Vlad Tepes]] has played in the war, examining his body, which "experiences multiple branches of history". The normal history of his life has only a tangential impact on the war, the massacre at Targoviste caused the [[Celestis]] to take note of him. But his future life has multiple strands, being resurrected by [[Mal'akh]] worshipers, or people believing in Stoker's novel and so him becoming [[Dracula]], and one thread, more interesting than the others, a woman in a black dress, the mother of monsters, [[Lolita|Lilith]]. Dracula survives, builds an empire, and vampirism even becomes fashionable. Indeed, in this timeline there was a fleet of organic timeships, blocking the timeline of a Dracula who didn't ever die. | |||
