Mithias exhaled and pressed his fingers together. This was quite an interesting dilemma two clans had decided to engage upon together. One vampire was possessed and another loved him. Such a beautiful and binding thing was the power of love. The Kingstons had always been gracious. They spared human and vampire life alike and even hosted for those that were opposed to their strict beliefs. Certainly they did not want to kill one of their own family. Mithias sympathized and inwardly longed that their patience and mercy were more common traits. "It seems there is an inherent flaw in simply destroying the hosts of Dracula. He is prepared for that, having demonstrated his ability to change hosts several times now. I would consider imprisonment as an alternative, isolating the host from potential transmission, but I assume a jump would be just as difficult to avoid while trying to seal the host away... for eternity. Perhaps we should approach this more scientifically. Dracula's current being is either a psychic entity or a soul-based one, such as one of your ghosts, Praetor. There are among our kind those who have powerful gifts in these domains. Has it been tested? ... My maker was one such vampire, having enough power to completely control another mind, even several of them at once. I spent centuries building a tolerance to such invasion. However, a psychic assault might be enough to destroy Dracula, or remove him from another vampire, if that is Dracula's basis. I don't know if I could find my sire, unfortunately. If instead Dracula is more of a ghost, well, that would be your department, Praetor."
