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."
