London, 20 October 1904. Mina has just dozed off at last! Our long return voyage to England gives me the opportunity to come to terms with this whole sorry adventure. Dracula's plan was truly diabolical. He first ensured that Mina followed him to Transylvania, knowing full well that I would set off immediately to find her. If his plan had worked, Dracula would have won on all counts: he would have regained possession of Mina and before long, she would have become his queen; he tortured me psychologically by delaying my arrival at the castle; me, who had dared to stand in his way seven long years before. But far worse than that, once I was within his lair, he had his female vampires try to eliminate me in order to recapture the symbol of hid devilish power: the Dragon's Ring. This ring had been placed under the protection of Saint George, and Dracula used me to remove it from its holy hiding place because he knew he was not able to do it himself. He went to great lengths to ensure that I came across it on my way, so that I would take it and being it with me to the castle. It had all been planned right from the start, except, of course, our escape.
