Contest Entry #1

Description

My first entry for the Dracula Untold contest! Wish me luck! (might be doing another one, since this one doesn't fit the criteria as much as I'd like it to.)

Interesting character, Vlad.  His cruelty is well documented in historical texts, but what often goes overlooked is how he used his cunning to terrorize his enemies. His preferred method of execution, impalement, wasn't just a sadistic way to get rid of his opponents; it was also a good way to scare them away. Its very possible that sections of the documented stories of his tyrannical behavior was fabrication, simply a tactic to scare away the turks-

 Anyhow, in Romania he is viewed as a hero to this day (went a few years ago, it was lovely for the most part), and I haven't studied enough to know.
