Ringo Starr It Is He Who Will Be King
By Paul Buckmaster
-"ALONG HERE...."
-"WE MUST HURRY!
-"THIS WAY, GREAT MASTER, QUICKLY!
OH NO, I SHOULDN'T HAVE COME FOR YOU, I SHOULD HAVE COME STRAIGHT TO HELP
HIM."
-"DON'T REPROACH YOURSELF."
-"I MIGHT HAVE SAVED HIM!"
-"WHOEVER KILLED COUNT DRACULA WOULD SURELY HAD KILLED YOU."
-"THE KING OF THE NETHERWORLD IS LOST TO US FOREVER, OH, THE COUNTESS...."
-"WHERE DID SHE REST?"
-"OH NO, THEY COULDN'T HAVE...OOH....OOH...."
-"IT SEEMS THE HOUSE OF DRACULA IS NOT AT AN END."
-"I KNEW THE COMING CHILD, GREAT MASTER, BUT I WAS SWORN TO A SECRECY."
-"YOU DID WELL. AND NOW THE NETHERWORLD CAN REJOICE THAT A VAMPIRE CHILD
WILL BE BORN IN THE MANNER OF THE HUMAN WORLD. THE COUNTESS, SHE SHALL
HAVE A BOY AND HE SHALL INHERIT HIS FATHER'S THRONE AND ONE DAY SHALL BE
CROWNED THE KING OF THE NETHERWORLD."
-"WHEN WILL THIS BE, GREAT MASTER?"
-"NOT IN YOUR LIFETIME, BRIAN, BUT YOU MUST PREPARE HIM."
-"I SHALL UNDERTAKE THAT TASK WITH GREAT PRIDE."
-"I HAVE BEEN AWARE FOR SOME TIME NOW THAT IN A HUNDRED YEARS AN OCCASION
OF GREAT IMPORT WILL AFFECT THE HOUSE OF DRACULA."
-"AAAAAHHH! NO!!"
-"AAAAAHHH!"
-"THIS CORONATION WILL ESTABLISH OUR PEOPLE ONCE MORE UNITED UNDER
ONE LEADER."
-"YES, INDEED."
-"HAVE YOU, HAVE YOU CALCULATED THE MOMENT?"
-"NO, NOT YET, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THE CROWN MUST BE PLACED UPON HIS
HEAD WITHIN THE NEXT 72 HOURS BUT WHICH MOMENT OF THE FINAL HOUR
HAS YET TO BE REVEALED."
-"YOU ARE TO BE CONGRATULATED, MY LORD."
-"THANK YOU, BARON, BUT THE COUNT MAY FIND THE NEXT 72 HOURS SOMETHING
OF AN ORDEAL."
-"BUT SURELY NOT. I HEAR HE'S IN GOOD HEALTH AND WELL PREPARED FOR
THE OCCASION."
-"HE IS, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING IN HIS ASTROLOGICAL CHART NOT YET VISIBLE
IN THE STARS BUT I KNOW IT TO BE THERE."
-"IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO..."
-"WE MUST SIMPLY BE AWARE AND PAY HIM EVERY ATTENTION."
-"COUNT DOWN, THERE'S A LOT TO THANK YOU FOR."
-"YOU ARE ALL MY CHILDREN, BARON FRANKENSTEIN."
-"BUT HE IS SPECIAL."
-"IT IS HE WHO WILL BE KING!"
