Sultan Mehmed II, conqueror of Constantinople, had marched into Wallachia with one of the largest armies of the age. Prince Vlad III, later remembered as Dracula, son of the Dragon, had far fewer men. He burned the crops, poisoned the wells and emptied the villages in front of the Sultan. Tonight he plans something bolder: a night raid on the Sultan's own camp. Legend says he had scouted it himself, in disguise. We stop before the raid begins. The words are imagined.
