NEW UNPUBLISHED STORY
I am a new Horror Writer, and you can find out more about me at www.afterdarknovel.com
SON OF THE DRAGON
(Vlad The Impaler)
Jeani Rector
The year was 1431, and Joan of Arc was put to death.
That was also the year that Vlad Dracula was born.
His father bore the coat of armor of the house of Dracul, which means Dragon. And the firstborn son carried the surname Dracula, which stands for Son of the Dragon. Like his father, the child’s first name was Vlad. Vlad Dracula became prince of Wallachia on the 22nd of August, 1456.
He would not be known as The Impaler until later, in 1459. On Easter Sunday of that year in his native Transylvania, Dracula began his reign of terror by avenging the murder of his father. Dracula ordered people to be skinned, boiled, decapitated, blinded, strangled, hanged, burned, roasted, hacked, nailed, buried alive, and stabbed. He also liked to cut off noses, ears, sexual organs and limbs.
But his favorite method of torture and murder was impalement on stakes.
Impalement was a form of execution where the victims were pierced between the legs from behind….thrust upon large sharpened stakes, each having the width of a man's arm. As the victims hung suspended above the ground, the weight of their bodies would slowly drag them downwards, causing the sharpened end of the stake to pierce their internal organs and so they would die.
Dracula especially liked mass executions. In order to better enjoy these mass spectacles, Dracula routinely ordered a banquet table set up in front of his victims, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the dying.
How do I know all of this?
Because I have known Vlad Dracula all of my life.
I am Radu, his younger brother.
Where shall I begin this story? I will begin at the beginning. I will tell you all I can remember.
NOTE: I tried to post the entire story, but I received an error message from CHUD stating that my story is 22,154 words long, and only 10,000 words are allowed on this thread. SO....if you are interested in the "rest of the story," you can read it in its entirety at: Forum: http://forums.jazmaonline.com.
If you do so, please email me at jeani|_rector@yahoo.com and let me know what you think of Vlad. Also, you can find me at www.afterdarknovel.com
