@Aisling "That was from about the 15th to the 18th century," Dracula explained. "In the 19th century, this superstition began to cease due to upcoming science. Charles Darwin, Mendel, Marie and Pierre Curie, Edison, Tesla, Benz, Einstein,... they all made their discoveries in the 19th and early 20th century."

"There were a lot discoveries during that time. People began to understand the world around them better then?" Mystique asked.

@Aisling "Mainly, yes. There have always been great minds, but here, they were suppressed by institutions, such as the church," Dracula explained. "That's why back then, Islamic countries were much more developed than Christian ones."

@Aisling "They do," Dracula said. "If you read old descriptions of Islamic hospitals, you might mistake them for descriptions of modern ones. Coffee, yogurt and the guitar are further examples of inventions that came from there. They also had something that might have been a predecessor of religious freedom: If you were held hostage by the Ottomans, they weren't allowed to treat you worse for your religion. Here in the Christian world, this was a whole lot different. And they had better strategies when it came to war, which made them so successful when it came to conquering other countries."

"WOW! I never any of that. You have many books in your library so you have books on ancient cultures, right?" Mystique smiled.

@Aisling "Yes, I do," Dracula answered. "But Islam isn't ancient. When they say 'ancient', historians refer to the time BC, but Islam was founded around 600 AD. I don't only have books on it but also handwritten documents. Letters mostly. But neither of them is in English. Depending on the addressee, they're either in Romanian, Turkish, Latin, Hungarian or German."

"You are so intelligent, Count Dracula. You know all of those languages? I can understand that you know English and Romanian but the others?" she was surprised that he knew the languages and manuscripts?

"Did you say that you own handwritten documents? As in manuscripts?"

@Aisling "Romanian is my native tongue. I learned Turkish while I was held hostage in what we now call Turkey, Latin was what English is now back then, I grew up in a town where most inhabitants were German, so that I learned that on the streets, and since we were vassals of the Hungarian king, Hungarian was pretty useful as well. Later, I learned French and Spanish. I also know Italian, since that is quite similar to Romanian, and in the 19th century, I learned English."

Mystique counted on her fingers as she went through the various languages that Count Dracula could speak.

"If I counted correctly, you speak nine languages during your lifetime? What language do Buddhists speak when they do their chants?"

@Aisling Dracula quickly counted the languages he had just listed. "Yes, nine languages. And I think that most of those mantras are in Sanskrit."

@Aisling "I don't know Sanskrit, but my father knows both Sanskrit and Pali," Dracula answered. "Those are the two main languages of Buddhism."

"He knows languages! What about Toma and Mihnea?" Mystique was beginning to wonder why Count Dracula iseven keeping her around for she could not compare her minute knowledge to his vast knowledge.

"I feel a bit insignificant in my education compared to what any of you know. I'll have to work hard to be able to learn another language because I am not exactly multi lingual. " Mystique spoke to Count Dracula.

loan? Just wondering if you speak other languages or not. Count Dracula speaks 9 and so does Mihnea. Vladilaus knows 11 and even Toma knows 4. I can't seem to learn languages because I have tried Spanish and failed miserably.

@Aisling "Actually, the best way to learn a language is the easiest," Dracula said. "Don't waste time on learning vocabulary or grammar rules. Do it like a baby: Go to an environment where the language you want to learn is spoken. Then soak up the language. Imitate what you hear. Use every little bit you know to communicate. Use it whenever it is possible. And don't be afraid of making mistakes. Like this, you can be fluent within six months."

"I know Romanian, German, English, French, Russian, and Polnish," Ioan answered.

@CountDracula

It is hard to comprehend that all of you are multilingual. I want to learn another language but which one?

"Which language is best to learn and most useful? Romanian?" Mystique asked as she kept an eye on Fiona and Toma.
