[[Godparent (rank)|Godfather]] [[Gideon (A Bloody And Public Domaine)|Gideon]] and | [[Godparent (rank)|Godfather]] [[Gideon (A Bloody And Public Domaine)|Gideon]] and [[Godfather Auteur]] are at the stop of the [[Shadow Spire]], with [[Loa]] circling it, listening to a recording of Godfather [[Morlock]]'s personal testimony on a phonograph. | ||
Morlock admits to being fascinated in the brief role [[Vlad III|Vlad Tepes]] played in the war, deciding to examine his body to analyze a specimen that experiences multiple branches of history. The normal history of his life has only a tangential impact on the war, the massacre at [[Tirgoviste|Targoviste]] caused the [[Celestis]] to take note of him. But his future life has multiple strands, being resurrected by [[Mal'akh]] | Morlock admits to being fascinated in the brief role [[Vlad III|Vlad Tepes]] played in the war, deciding to examine his body to analyze a specimen that experiences multiple branches of history. The normal history of his life has only a tangential impact on the war, the massacre at [[Tirgoviste|Targoviste]] caused the [[Celestis]] to take note of him. But his future life has multiple strands, being resurrected by [[Mal'akh]] worshippers, 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, [[Lilith (A Bloody (And Public) Domaine)|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. | ||
Auteur is writing a story, an epistolary novel, which he claims is all true. Though, only true once he has written it. Gideon reflects that he risks the wrath of other faction members by associating with his old friend, a prisoner here in the Shadow Spire. But Gideon humours Auteur, even if he can't believe that the Enemy is Dracula. | Auteur is writing a story, an epistolary novel, which he claims is all true. Though, only true once he has written it.

Gideon objects, a timeline where Dracula was resurrected by a higher power and rewrites history to become the Enemy? Why would Auteur write about this one, especially since they know for certain the Enemy isn't related to the [[Yssgaroth]]. Auteur hands him a section from the cultists' bible. | Gideon objects, a timeline where Dracula was resurrected by a higher power and rewrites history to become the Enemy?
