Hello loves! I am thrilled to start the October Series. Last year, I partnered with my friend Bastion to do The Addams. This year, it's Dracula. One of the most tragic romantic stories is that of Prince Vlad Tepes Dracula of Romania, the character loosely based on the movie Bram Stoker's Dracula and that of his wife, Elizabetha. If you have not seen the movie, I highly recommend it. This post though has some spoilers if you do not know the story. Unfortunately, it is a somber tale, but it highlights why Dracula would forsake himself. I've created two looks here from the movie. I used the same beautiful Victorian period dress from Toksik in two colors. The green dress represents Elizabetha, and the red is Wilhemina Murray, the character of Elizabetha incarnate. Also, see Tristan's post on his blog with his created look of Prince Vlad.
The story starts in 1462 with Elizabetha pleading, knowing that her Prince Vlad must fight the Turks for god and church and that he may never return. He leaves her to battle, as most men would, who are valiant and honorable. However, Vlad earned the name Vlad The Impaler, putting his enemies on the stake to die the most horrible deaths.
Elizabetha receives a letter that her Prince is dead, but they are false news from the vengeful Turks. A letter she wrote states, "My prince is dead. All is lost without him. May god unite us in heaven." She then flank herself into the river.
Vlad learns of Elizabetha's death. Since she has taken her own life, she was considered damned and can never enter the gates of heaven, as God's law. Broken-hearted and furious of the news, Vlad renounces god, pledging he will walk eternity to avenge her with the power of darkness.
400 years later, Vlad walks the Victorian streets as a proper gentleman and sees a woman like Elizabetha. That woman is Wilhemina Murray, a school teacher engaged to be married. He tries to seduce her to remember him as Prince Vlad and to take her and join him to walk the ends of time with him forever. However, he loved her too much to condemn her. My favorite quote of Vlad is when he tells Mina, "I have crossed oceans of time to find you."
