Count Dracula is the Prince of Darkness, Lord of Castlevania, and King of Vampires. He is seemingly the personification of all that is evil, and is the ultimate enemy of mankind.

He is also Mathias Cronqvist, a former Warrior of God who loved and was loved as fiercely as any other, and a man who lost everything he held dear.

After the Count is vanquished by his own son, his appeal for forgiveness catches the ear of the very God he had dared to oppose. And instead of returning to the dark void of death to await his resurrection, Dracula is given a choice; let go of his anger and find new life in a new world, or cling to his hatred and continue the cycle of darkness forevermore.

Dracula chose life.

And now he finds himself in a new world, completely devoid of humans, but containing civilizations of a much more...furry kind. Of course, even in a world as open and accepting as Equestria, darkness is still something many of its denizens fear to an irrational extent. And Castlevania is certainly dark. Can the Count learn to coexist with the ponies of Equestria and allow the warmth of love and friendship to reenter his icy heart? Or will he lose it all in the coming battle against his ultimate enemy, the traitorous Demon Lord Galamoth?
