Well, it takes a dragon to beat a Dragon.
HOLY SHIT! That music went with the chapter beautifully. Looking forward to the next chapter.
You have peaked my interest. Continue on this route.

Thanks. I try to include music that goes along with my stories to help set the scene. In Discord's Mask, I used the level music and sound queues from Majora's Mask at the appropriate parts of the story. To enhance your reading and listening experience, try listening to the music at these parts of the chapter:
Paragraph 1-5 from 0:00-1:41
Paragraph 6-9 from 1:41-2:37
Paragraph 10 from 2:37-3:05
Paragraph 11-20 from 3:05-4:15 (the woman vocalizing is Nightmare Moon seducing Vlad)
Paragraph 21 from 4:15-4:48
Paragraph 22 from 4:48-5:45
Paragraph 23-25 from 5:45-6:42
Aww yeah
Can't wait, love it already
My body is ready!!
Have not read it yet, but already you have all of my yes, you handsome devil you!
EDIT: Read it, loved it, can't wait for more.
Was that a tv tropes reference? Or am I looking too deep?
2434623
You're looking too deep, but good work anyway . It's a reference to Vlad Dracula. Vlad II was named Dracul because he was a member of the Order of the Dragon and his son Vlad III was named Dracula. Their names mean "the Dragon" and "the Son of the Dragon" in Romanian. Also, Dracula calls himself "the Dragon" in the most recent Castlevania games.
2435267 Oh, I see, either way that's a cool pretty piece of backstory. Thanks for sharing.

Take your pick!
And thus, it begins. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
2473302
Maybe or maybe not, we'll just have to see.
I will say this man. You write excellent stories. But for some reason I feel like Rarity and Spikes relationship will be put to the test by Dracula
I feel your pain Spike. I don't get those movies either.
2473513
True story. I never even heard of the books until I was told by some friends that the first film was coming out. My reaction was, "What the heck is that?" My sisters conned me into seeing it by telling me that it was a vampire film. After I watched the film, my reaction was, "What the heck was that?"
Well, i bet spike will rage quit at half movie or something...
2473695
2473600 Same here, I didn't know anything about it until the movie came out. I've never seen it and I have no regrets. Here how the conversation with a friend who liked the movie went.
Friend "Hey you should check out that new Twilight movie."
Me "What's it about?"
Friend "Well, it's about a girl and this sparkly vampire who-"
Me "And like that you've lost me."
2473695 Either that or sleep with his eyes open. Since he lives with Twilight I wouldn't put it past him to do that when she is giving a lecture or a really long lesson.
Fluttershy is my hero, nuff said
2488285
Amen, Fluttershy. Amen
I kind of hope Spike will become a badass vampire.
Why must ponies be so cruel to change? Just because a couple is different from the norm, doesn't mean you should ridicule it. That's just mean. And from personal experience, I know that karma is just waiting right around the corner, waiting to rear its big head and give you a swift kick to the nuts for being mean.
2488436 Do you mean Vampire Hunter?
Also, DOUBLE UPDATE! And shit is about to get real.
I'm with Spike and Fluttershy, I hate those movies. Those actors were basically pale cardboard figures with the expression range of a rock and the movie is really just smut trying to have a plot and story but has failed badly. And I see you used my sleeping with open eyes thing I mentioned in my last comment.
I wonder what kind of powers Spike is going to get in this fight?
2488672 Nope.
2488804 I still don't see Spike becoming a vampire. Dragons have thick scales remember. I don't think that Dracula would be able to bite Spike. And if he did bite Spike, Dracula's teeth would probably shatter (like in a cartoon).
2488627
And with very sharp teeth.
2488739
It was just too good to pass up. I was going to show how bored Spike was anyway.
What does everyone think of the music I included so far? I'm trying to have it match the story and to enhace everyone's reading experience. If there is music you want to hear or think I should use at a certain spot, let me know.
2489887 Hey you should have Dracula watch that movie and rage at it causing the mane six and Spike to show up and Spike agreeing with him out loud by accident.
2488436 Vampires can supposedly control those that they bite, so that'd be a bad idea I think.
2489916 The music makes reading the story much more entertaining.
2488627
Because humans and ponies are extremely alike they are scare of changes
2489916 This is probably not specific enough, but can you include Cave Story music? I'm a huge fan of the game. If you don't want to, that's fine.
I don't know why...but even though the Fic hasn't really shown me it's "Gist"
I still felt like drawing a image for it.
It's a quick sketch though, tell me if ye like it and I'll finish it, ok?
It has more of a CASTLEVANIA feeling to it, but I guess that was because of a certain somepony's comment in the first chapter.
If you want something that looks more like the movie (Bram Stoker's Dracula) just let me know, ok?

Incredible! Please finish it and I'll use it as my cover art. A few things, make sure Dracula has a goatee, is a unicorn, a dark gray coat, and a black mane. As for the eyes, either make them a glowing blue or red irises surrounded by black sclera.
Or you could do a ponified version of the Bram Stoker's Dracula logo I'm already using (a unicorn face with a mouthful of fangs with a wolf head on either side).
Dun dun duh...
It's going to be an interesting reunion to say the least.
Wait, wait, wait....Celestia killed Vlad? I thought he was put in eternal slumber with a knife. Still, great writing.
2556994
It was Celestia who ended his mortal life but doing so and due to Nightmare Moon's blood and curse, she unknowingly began his undead existence.
The villagers' ancestors rose up against him and stab him in the heart while he slept 100+ years ago.
2557083 well, that explains everything. I kind of forgot, since I just finished finals.
I await the next chapter update. Keep it up, it's a great story! I love the Dracula adaptation.
Renny could've seen Prof. Dig Site get eaten "if that bloody pillar wasn't in the way!"
2574613
I'm glad you're enjoying it my friend.
Oooo I hope they get back together ! More please!
I'm back! Sorry about the hiatus. In this chapter, I explore some of my headcannon regarding Celestia and Luna.
Oh... how I missed you.
