It was small.

That was the first thing Adrian noticed when his father opened his hands to show his son what he had brought for him. It had been a year since the death of Lisa, Dracula’s wife and Adrian’s mother; and as a result Adrian had been at the castle now for a year. It was a bizarre life for a child, even one which had grown up with frequent visits to the strange place. The young dunpeal was used to so much, he was used to falling into the under ground lakes only to be pulled out by mermen and water and ice sprites. He was used to crashing into Werewolf pups and riding Wargs.

But he was not used to being alone.

Dracula had never truly understood what it meant to be a father, true he had raised a few fledglings but that was different to an actual child. Fledglings were dependant on him only for a short time, then they could hunt and live alone, they did not need his company, and only sought him out on occasion. But Adrian clung to him and he found himself at a loss as to what to do about it. Until over a few bottles he had gone to his women for advice.

He had many female daemons in the castle, but just because they had a female form did not mean they were women. They were not human and did not react the same way to their young as mortals did. In fact he remembered one of his Venus weeds eating her broad after raising them for over a year. They were strange creatures. In the end the succubus was the only one with any advice he found he could use. She had laughed when she saw him entering her chambers with his son sleeping in his arms.

“Surely he is a little young my lord?” she had teased, he had snapped at her not to be so vulgar where his son was concerned and she had become docile again at his harsh words.

He had placed Adrian down on the bed and sat opposite the succubus; he had started conversation but had stopped quickly. The female daemon had been watching his son sleep. But her gaze was not the usual one, which you would expect from a sex-daemon. Her gaze was soft, caring and concerned. She had stood when he nodded and walked to the bed. Lifting an ornately designed blanket she had wrapped the young dunpeal in it and settled him more gently against the cushions. Briefly asking if he had eaten today, in short she had behaved like a mother. It was with those words and actions that he decided to ask her, again she had laughed and had come up with an answer in moments.

“A pet, my Lord.” She smiled softly “your child needs company, so give him something to love.”

It had taken a great deal of thought to decide what would be best to give his child. But eventually he thought he had found it.

“What is it?” tiny cold hands held onto Dracula’s arms trying to pull them lower so the youth could see what it was the older vampire held. The young dunpeal watched as the tiny furry creature unfurled small leathery wings and squeaked at him in a curious manner.

“She is for you,” Dracula smiled as the small bat tried to take to the wing and crash landed in his child’s hair.
