CHAPTER II

TRANSYVLVANIA: A.D. 1462.

"That is Aspasia's shadow Nosferatu said as he pointed across the field behind the center front of the Turkish army. He was standing next to Vampyr in the center of the Hungarian force that faced the Turks.

Vampyr was dressed head to toe in black armor, with a full visor helmet on. Strapped to his side was his Spartan xithos. Nosferatu had learned in the month he had been in Transylvania that this was how Vampyr always appeared in daylight, which, along with certain brutal practices, had led to his reputation as prince of darkness. Nosferatu himself wore a gray hooded cloak and a face mask to protect his skin and eyes. It was early morning and the Turkish army commanded by Aspasia's Shadow had been approaching since dawn. For thirty-seven years Nosferatu had nursed his anger toward Aspasia's Shadow. After leaving Mount Sinai, Nosferatu had split from Tian Dao Lin. His Chinese friend had headed west to link up with what remained of Cing Ho's fleet and go back to China. Nosferatu had journeyed from the Sinai into deepest Africa to recover Nekhbet's tube from the Mountains of the Moon, a most arduous journey. But all had been for naught when he opened Nekhbet's tube, brought her awake, and gave her

the blood that Aspasia's Shadow had given him. It had had little effect and she'd been drawn and tired, aging almost in front of Nosferatu's eyes. They realized he'd been duped by Aspasia's Shadow and given human blood instead of Airlia. Together they'd made the difficult decision once more to put her to sleep in the tube and leave her on the mountain.

Seeking revenge, Nosferatu had heard rumors of a dark lord gaining power in Hungary and he'd guessed that Vampyr was the subject of the rumors. Listening to people speak in port cities he learned that a prince called Vlad Tepes had establish a strong domain in the midst of much political turmoil in Eastern Europe. He'd united many of the warring factions, extending his power from Transylvania over most of Hungary. Nosferatu had traveled there, throwing himself on the mercy of his old comrade, seeking an alliance against Aspasia's Shadow.

In his loneliness after so many centuries Vampyr had welcomed Nosferatu into his castle at Tirgoviste. As Nosferatu had hoped, the combined threat of two Undead together in one place and Vampyr's growing power had drawn Aspasia's Shadow's attention. Unfortunately, they had not expected such a massive and swift response. The Turks Aspasia's Shadow had under his command outnumbered the Hungarian army three to one and Nosferatu could sense the uneasiness among Vampyr's troops.

"Lord Vlad Tepes." Vampyr's commanding general went to one knee in front of him, calling him by the name he had assumed since working his way into a position of power in Transylvania. Translated, the name meant Vlad the Impaler. The Turks called him Kaziglu Bey, the Impaler Prince.

"Yes?"

They were deployed on the east side of the Danube, blocking the Turkish army's invasion route into the heart of Hungary.
