The Black Citadel

You hesitate for a brief second, deciding upon which alternative spell to cast. But that's all the time the vampire needs. He rushes over to you with a blistering speed; the vampire's power is almost overwhelming. You feel his hot breath on your face and sharp claws biting into the skin of your arms. He throws you into a stone wall with an almost back-breaking, jarring impact. The last thing you see are his long sharp fangs descending and biting painfully into the warm flesh and red blood in your neck.
