it knows not how it sounds [accidental video]
[The video opens on a strange sight: a Turkish Sultan sits on a raised level of the floor, surrounded by extravagant pillows an throws, a serving girl taking away a tray and replacing it with a goblet a what can only be the finest wine. Obviously, those involved are not knowledgeable in the language of English, but they are still understood.]
I welcome you and your brother to Adrianople, sons of Dracul-the devil, or a dragon? Hah, they are one in the same, are they not?
[Vlad, in his grown form, the one that is known to those in the Underworld, is thrown unceremoniously to the ground, a young boy next to him. His younger brother, Radu, stays where he is placed before bowing, whereas Vlad moves quickly to get back to his feet. For all the strength he is known to have, two men overpower him quickly and force him to his knees, hair hanging in curled curtains around his face.]
You are the one they speak of, Vlad III, yes? An excellent choice for a hostage! Your father is a generous man.
Do not dare speak of my father from your lips, dripping with ill-gotten wine-
Hush yourself, son of Dracul. You do know, do you not, that obedience and silence are the best of things? Now, go, take him to be silent in the dungeon. Your brother shall stay and entertain me.
[The boy tosses a fearful glance as his brother is dragged away, screaming what can only be an unholy laundry list of cursing as he kicks and struggles, and as the feed ends.]
