Characters in this story

  • D — D is a dhampir, the half-breed child of a vampire father & human mother, the ideal vampire hunter. Regarding D's birth, some Nobles whisper dark rumors about their vampire progenitor, the Sacred Ancestor known as Count Dracula, bedding a human woman called Mina the Fair (implied to be Mina Harker).
  • Left Hand — D is the host for a sentient symbiote, Left Hand, a wisecracking homunculus with a human face residing in his left palm, who can suck in massive amounts of matter through a wind void or vacuum tunnel. Left Hand enjoys needling the poker-faced D, but only appears as needed, rarely witnessed or heard.
Story transcript

D: The stench of old blood… you're still clinging to death, aren't you, Lord Bartley?

Ghost of Bartley: Dhampir… come to kneel before your better?

D: A ghost who hoards blood. How quaint.

D: You fed yourself your own stolen blood… yet the soul won't return.

Left Hand: Kid's got daddy issues worse than yours.

Ghost of Bartley: Stop—I'll grant you eternal night!

D: I already live in it.

Ghost of Bartley: My resurrection—!

D: He’s all yours…

Left Hand: Aged despair… crunchy vintage.

D: Let's see if the village can sleep without lullabies of terror.

Left Hand: Next castle, maybe they'll serve something fresher.
