Vampire Court (8:06)

Noble vampires dressed in velvet and lace finery stand around a decadent, high-ceilinged room. Some talk about politics, others flirt unabashedly, and other toast to their new joint business ventures by raising exotic, shining goblets. The atmosphere is elegant and everyone wears a smile, but underneath the facade one can't help but sense that there are darker, more sinister intentions at play. A power struggle amongst clans that has gone on for centuries, after all, can't be so easily pushed aside. Not even for the sake of the Vampire Prince...
