Dracula never really got over the death of his wife…His daughter was
now his only comfort in the long, dark years of his
existence… Perhaps it would have been better had he died rather than
Antonio…the curse had taken him, killed by the hand of his own
father, into the depths of Hell…For him, there was no salvation… no
hope..no love…His only other friend was Don Rosario di Cappodocia,
the local priest, whose life Dracula once saved. Don Rosario was old
and wise and had helped much in the bringing up of Dracula’s daughter.
Also, Don Rosario’s family lived very close to Castle Dracula, and the
two boys were firm friends from a very young age. Dracula recalled the
first time he saw Don Rosario on his return to the village years after
the curse took him. Don Rosario could not believe that his friend was
dead, and brought back to life in such a dreadful fashion. There was
still much to tell, and Don Rosario would be visiting the following
night…Then, Alice would learn more of the fate of her father, and of
how he could be redeemed…
