The Counts Vulnerability

-"your craft defeats me, merlin, how you balance the destiny and

Soul of us all in the palm of your hand is a feat."

-"master, the servant brian wishes to see you."

-"send him in."

-"great master, forgive me, but i have to seek your advice."

-"what is it that disturbs you, brian?"

-"is it true that an operation is to be performed on the count down?"

-"yes, it is true."

-"but what will it mean? that he will no longer be immortal? that

He will not be king? but he must become overlord of the netherworld!"

-"brian, in the next hours many things may happen."

Count down will need your help and understanding, whatever happens,

Your years of faithful service will not have been in vain."

-"if this man, van helsing, is allowed to humanise the count,

The house of dracula will be obliterated forever. but the count

May yet be saved from this catastrophe."

-"no!"

-"count down, wait here until van helsing sends for you to come

To the operate."

-"i don't know what to say to you now, but if you make it through the

Night i'll find the roots tomorrow."

-"count down must be feeling, understandably, some trepidation,

At this time. after all, it's quite a step he's taking."

-"he's prepared as far as humanly possible."

-"and vulnerable, doctor, and vulnerable."
