"You think this night will be like all the others, don't you? Well, you're wrong. Dracula's destroyed. His body's in ashes. The spell is broken. I can live a normal life now, think normal things. Even play normal music again. Listen. A cradle song. A song my mother once sang to me long, long ago, rocking me to sleep as she sang in the twilight." --- Countess Marya Zaleska
