HE IS ALSO UNABLE TO ENTER A PLACE UNLESS INVITED TO DO SO. ONCE INVITED IN. HOWEVER, HE CAN APPROACH AND LEAVE THE PREMISES AT WILL. HENCE, HE NEVER CARRIES KEYS AS THEY BURN HIS FLESH AND LEAVE HIM DRAINED OF ENERGY.
THE SUN IS NOT FATAL TO HIM (FURTHER DEBUNKING THE DOG-VAMPIRE THEORY) BUT IT DOES RESTRICT HIS MOVEMENT OUTDOORS, ALTHOUGH NOT AT HIGH NOON.
HEKTOR’S POWERS ARE NOT UNLIMITED. HE IS MUCH LESS POWERFUL IN DAYLIGHT AND CAN REALLY ONLY MOVE FREELY AT DAWN, NOON AND DUSK. OF COURSE, HE CAN MOVE TOTALLY UNINHIBITED DURING THE NIGHT.
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’S DEVOTION TO IT. HEKTOR LOVED HIS WATCH DEARLY.

HE FOLDED HIS PREDICTION, AND PLACED IT IN AN ENVELOPE AND SEALED IT IN FULL VIEW OF THE AUDIENCE. HE THEN STUCK IT ON HIS BLACKBOARD. ASKING FOR A VOLUNTEER ASSISTANT, A CHIHUAHUA WAS QUICK TO ASSIST HEKTOR WITH THE TRICK. THIS DOG WAS ASKED TO WRITE THE YEAR SHE WAS BORN ON THE BLACKBOARD. THE CHIHUAHUA HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED BY BO TWINKLE WHEN SHE VISITED HEKTOR’S ACT LATER THAT EVENING. SHE HAD A FULL DESCRIPTION OF WHO THIS DOG WAS. SHE’D WRITTEN 1998 ON THE BLACKBOARD.
AT THIS POINT THAT THERE WAS NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR TO KNOW THE DATES
THESE DOGS HAD CHOSEN.

COUNT ERFEIT WAS A STRANGE DOGSON. HE WOULD REGULARLY HANG UPSIDE-DOWN AND THE COMPANY HE KEPT WAS ODD, TO SAY THE LEAST. THE COUNT WAS A MASTER OF MATHEMAGIC AND CONFABULATION AND DOGS WOULD FLOCK TO SEE HIS PERFORMANCES BECAUSE THEY JUST COULDN’T EVER FIGURE OUT HOW HE KNEW WHAT HE KNEW. HIS SECRET WAS SAFE BECAUSE THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW HE GAINED HIS KNOWLEDGE WOULD NEVER BE BELIEVED BY ANYONE.
