Dracula: The Dark Prince Page #4

I'm told that slayers are

gathering in growing numbers in Bistritz.

Something amiss, my lord?

Heavy loneliness

eats at my heart.

Let me guess, Miss Alina.

She will never see me

as anything but a monster.

I should turn her.

Make her one of us.

I don't know

if that's wise, sire.

If she is indeed

your true love,

give her time to remember.

If she loved you once,

she'll love you again.

My lord.

Never have I regretted

what I have become...

until now.

They are in Bistritz. It's not like

them to attack an entire village.

They're becoming

more aggressive.

Or desperate.

Go, we still have

to protect them.

Wrath!

A noble hero.

Make that two.

Where is my sister?

She's with the master.

Remember me?

Why, if it isn't the thief.

I've learned something

new about myself.

Kill them all.

You've done it.

You've done it!

Dear Lucien, you've done it.

Wrath.

Not bad for

a half-trained boy.

When they return

for the Lightbringer,

they will be in full force.

Esme, where are you going?

To get my sister.

I'm coming with you.

The young ones have taken over.

Shall we?

I may have one more

battle left in me.

My champion.

Greatest of all my warriors.

The boy...

he wields the Lightbringer.

He is a descendant of Cain.

We've underestimated him.

I will give you what you

need to defend him.

Go.

Bring the Lightbringer to me.

I think I remember.

Do not weep for the

past, dear Alina.

Too many tears have

already been shed. Come.

Let me show you something.

'Tis here I seek

my solace in stars.

According to Plato, the universe is

one soul divided into equal parts,

each one assigned to a star.

And those who live

a full and virtuous life

return to their native star

while others return to Earth,

again and again, until they

find their life's true purpose.

All these years,

I've searched the skies,

hoping to find the light

of my one true love.

I don't understand.

Search your heart...

and find me.

I thought he was dead.

Dracula has powers

of which we can only dream.

He's come

through the Borgo Pass.

We must be very close now.

I am sure.

Do we even know

what we're looking for?

Castle would have to be

in a defensible position.

On a mountain.

Against a cliff.

- I just hope we're not too late.

- Have faith.

Look who's talking

about faith now.

Dear Lucien.

There's a compass.

But it's not heading north.

Maybe it's not supposed to.

Paprika hen... fowl.

Prepared in the traditional

Hungarian fashion.

Just the way you like it.

I... I'm sure you will like it.

Are you not having any?

Alas, my palate

has changed over the years.

Of course.

I'd forgotten.

Oh.

Why do you want

the Lightbringer so badly?

What do you need

with yet another weapon?

Oh, it's not just a weapon.

With the Lightbringer,

I can assure that no one

ever loses the ones they love.

You'd make yourself

equal to God?

Oh, not at all. No, God has

the power to create life.

I'll just prevent him

from taking it away.

Ahem.

Apologies for

the intrusion, sire.

Wrath sends word

that the thief and his

comrades are heading this way.

Lucien.

You know this man?

Um...

he'll be with my sister.

They'll be looking for me.

Many have tried

to find this place.

All have failed.

We are hidden

from the eyes of mortals.

Do you have feelings

for this man?

I...

I...

seem to have lost my appetite.

If you'll excuse me.

My lord is troubled.

Blood will make

you feel better.

Drink from me.

I cannot.

Leave me.

Leave me.

We're close.

Then let's hurry.

I don't see anything.

It should be here.

Wait...

I see something.

There.

After a lifetime...

finally.

Now we need

to find a way inside.

Only two choices;

up or under.

And how would you know?

When you've robbed

as many castles as I have,

you'd know it's only

towers and dungeons.

Royals have no imagination.

So who goes up

and who goes under?

The smell of death.

This is disgusting.

Maybe the smell will

keep the vampires away.

Now we must divide.

Esme, you stay with Andros.

Godspeed, my friend.

Until we meet again.

Come on.

Let's find Alina.

Wrath.

Just you and me.

I thought I'd never

see you again.

My luck.

Come on, let's go.

Leonardo Van Helsing.

Stand for the master.

You've waited for this moment

for so many years.

And here you are.

Welcome.

I have come

with no other intent

but to end your

poisonous ways forever.

I believe you.

And yet I'm impressed with you.

Your courage.

Your fortitude.

Your persistence.

Your knowledge

about me.

And in many ways, perhaps you know

me better than I know myself.

If I were to make you

one of mine...

what conversations

you and I could have.

Have you turned the girl?

No.

Not yet.

What can I offer you

to set her free?

I'm afraid I can't do that.

Lord Dracula,

have you ever considered

that this God

you turned against

truly does exist

and if you take this girl,

you will never be able

to forgive yourself?

You're suggesting that my soul

is not completely lost.

No one, in my thought,

is completely lost.

I see it, they have the power

to seek redemption

and God's mercy.

Renfield.

Master Van Helsing,

we'll speak again.

We will let him live.

For now.

I must rest.

Could it be

any darker down here?

The dead don't need any light.

Where are your companions?

The one who wields

the Lightbringer.

He is coming.

Good.

That's what we were hoping.

Leonardo.

Leonardo!

Leonardo, get up.

Get up!

Stand back!

Andros.

Andros.

Demetria?

My brother.

You've come for me.

I thought you were dead.

Andros, that's not your sister.

I've missed you.

Come to me.

To see you again, here,

it's like a dream.

Andros!

Yes, my brother, a dream.

From which is

there no wakening.

Demetria, no!

Hurry.

Over here.

Andros, help!

Get away from her.

Come on, let's go.

Esme.

Over there.

Watch out.

- Leonardo.

- Alina!

- Esme!

- I knew we'd find you.

I never gave up hope.

- Protect the girls!

- He's not moving.

- Leonardo.

- No.

We're completely surrounded.

- I'm not leaving you, old man.

- Go, go away!

- No.

- I've been bitten.

It's only a matter of time

before the transformation

is complete.

- No.

- Then we'll all go together.

Esme, get me my crossbow

and twine.

Twine.

I love you all.

And your father

would be proud of you.

And whatever blessings

I have left to give...

I give them...

to you.

No.

Leonardo, no!

We're running

out of daylight.

Let's go, let's go.

Come on, come on.

- Come on. Let's go.

- Go!

Now, now, go! Take her!

Come on!

Don't stop! Go!

Catch.

Out the window, both of you!

The sun is setting.

Into the woods.

Sire.

Do not confuse your friends

for your enemies.

I have but one enemy now.

We have the location and the

layout of the stronghold.

- Now's the time to attack.

- And this time,

the element of surprise

will be on our side.

None of you should go.

You don't understand

him like I do.

He's a beast only because

he's been treated like one.
