Ice

*** Blood doesn't stay warm in Transylvania. The winds are chilling, and even the still air strips heat from the marrow. In springtime, warfare is tolerable, but in winter, it is impossible for anyone but the extremely desperate and the extremely insane. Soldiers start to slip on the frozen blood of their comrades, and rust flakes away from the doctor's knives before the first stitch is ever made. It's always winter for Vlad in his father's prison. But one day, the living penetrate his castle and familiar hot eyes burn into his face. And his blood begins to melt. *** |
