Dracula Jr. and the Cursed Gems

‟The young man takes a deep breath and picks up in his palm a red, shiny stone. He grips it tightly, raising it to his chest with closed eyes. His lips, blue with cold, are pulled back in a rictus of pain. Suddenly, the stone begins to shine brightly, and the young man throws it on the sand, as if he got burned by it. Then, he watches closely, both fascinated and disgusted, as the red stone becomes an incandescent lighting, just like a piece of iron that’s being forged, for then to lengthen, to crouch, to grow, to swallow, to growl, to toss and turn and to finally to spread out wearily on the ground. The creature that has just been born from the young man’s hands looks like a giant frog, like a rotten corpse, with bluish, frozen skin and eyes just like the stone from which it was born.ˮ
