Welcome to Midnight Blue!

This story seeks to combine the events of "Castlevania 64" with those in "Aria of Sorrow". The Type Moon universe provides a perfect bridge to answer the question: How did Dracula's castle migrate to Japan?

Never heard of Castlevania or Tsukihime? No worries. Readers need not be familiar with either series to understand what's going on.

P.S. The M rating is for language and dark themes.


Fire danced from the barrel of Ciel's firearm as she shot at the horde of zombies inching their way towards her. "Curse these things" she muttered as she changed the clip in her FAMAS assault rifle "Weak as hell yet still a pain in my ass." These zombies were scarcely deserving of the title. True zombies were undead wreaths controlled by a necromancer, they were strong, agile, and insensibly brutal. These pawns were merely responding to the power of Dracula's castle and lacked any form of discipline whatsoever.

BANG Ciel shot the last zombie right between the eyes. "Sigh, where did that moron run off to anyway?" Julius, a vampire hunter and heir to the Belmont clan. They had come here together until the guy stumbled upon a trap door and got himself lost. Julius was the one trying to investigate the castles sudden reappearance, Ciel was only here to kill vampires. "Yet here I am, no Julius, no vampires, just a big-ass castle of infinite re-spawning infidels." She tried to drift her thoughts away from the irony that she herself was an infinite re-spawning infidel. "Screw fate" she thought to herself.

Another horde of zombies began approaching from the corridor ahead. Not wanting to waste any more ammo on such minor opponents, Ciel turns left and walks inside one of the many doors lining the hallway. She finds herself in a large room with red brick making up the walls, floor, and ceiling. There's a lot of rocks scattered about the floor, but besides a few clumps of moss there didn't appear to be anything living inside. Ciel knew better then to judge such simplicity at a mere glance, this was Dracula's castle after all. She walks towards the center of the room and pulls out her notebook. A simple inscription should reveal any hidden passageways that lie within.

click There's a small noise coming from behind her. Ciel stops writing and glances beyond her parchment. Still empty. "There's nothing in here" she says out loud and continues what she was doing. She stops again when something bumps into the heel of her boot. She bends down and picks up a small grey pebble resting alongside it. Then across the floor she notices a horde of similar pebbles gathering together in a heap towards the room's edge.

Ciel jumps back, raising her FAMAS to examine the creature before her. The structure begins to take on a human-like shape as more and more pebbles gather into it. Bursts of light bounce between the walls as Ciel empties her clip into the mysterious beast, but to no avail. The mound of metal now stood enormous, dwarfing the room. Standing upright, the creature looks down at her with gleaming yellow eyes. Demonic eyes.

Ciel retreats to the door she came in from to find it locked. "DAMMIT" she shouts as she tries, and fails, to kick down the iron door. That creature was an iron golem. She had never encountered one herself but the ancient database within her shattered soul radiated with information on it. Their defenses were impenetrable and the only way to destroy them was by disrupting the magical network which bound them together. Ciel hated relying upon Roa's memories. Useful though they may be, they served as a dooming reminder of her past.

The fully formed iron golem crosses the room's diameter in a single step and pulls its arms back in preparation for attack. Ciel quickly dives beneath its legs just as the creature pounds the ground where she was standing. The room shakes with such might Ciel almost loses her balance. Chunks of brick fly about the room as the golem turns around, his arms scrapping the sides of the room as he does so. Powerful though they may be, golems were known to be relatively slow creatures. Ciel's agility was nearly on par with that of a vampire. A creature such as this shouldn't pose much trouble. Blue lightning erupts from Ciel's hands which completely engulf the monster. But the iron golem brings his fists down again anyway, completely unaffected.

"You just can't make this easy can you?" Ciel complains as she side steps her enemies attack. An opponent like this would require an especially strong burst of mana if she were to disrupt all its circuitry at once; and that would require time. The creature throws punch after punch after the inquisitor. The creature's barbaric movements flow right past her slamming into the wall in the back of the room again and again. "You're more interesting than those corpses out there I'll give you that much." The golem howls in agony and pulls its body back in preparation for attack. "But it's about time we wrap things up" Ciel mutters as she holds her hands up to deliver the killing blow.

CRACK Ciel scarcely leaps aside as the creature breaks the wall behind her with extraordinary force. "Wha-"Ciel's voice is cut off when the golems other arm sweeps across the floor and picks her up. The creature was moving much faster now and Ciel was literally in a bind. The monster holds her in mid-air as she struggles to escape his stone grip. Its mouth opens as it brings her in for the kill. Ciel's circuits glow with a lethal buildup of magical energy yet she is unable to position her arms away from herself to fire the blast. "You think I'm scared of you don't you?" Ciel speaks to the expressionless giant holding her captive. In a barely audible voice she retorts, "You're dead wrong" and lets the mana explode from her body.

Shrapnel of brick, rock, and human organs spray across the room in a grand explosion. The blast came so quick that Ciel hardly felt any pain as her body was ripped to shreds. "Aiya" she exclaimed. Gruesome as it may be this circumstance actually worked to her favor. She was an exception, a miracle upon the world and death was nothing to her. So long as the vampire Roa lived, she could never be killed. "Haven't you heard golem? I don't die when I'm killed" she spat sarcastically as she dusted the rumble from her dress. Its then that she noticed the damage the battle had caused. The once simple square room appeared dented and warped. Chunks of brick were missing the walls which were now littered with chunks of iron and blood. Most surprising of all was the gigantic hole lying in the back. Ciel takes a few steps forward and peeks into the opening.

The walls of the cavern were colored of natural brown stone. In fact the passageway didn't appear man made at all. "This must be the cave network Julius spoke of." Ciel inquired. She took notice of a pair of stalagmites which confirmed her hypothesis. The caves weren't technically a part of Dracula's castle though the continual presence of monsters above leaked a lot of dark energy into the earth. Julius could very well be waiting somewhere in these caverns, depending on how great the Belmont's fall was. She wouldn't put it past Dracula to lay a trap like that. A fall that deep would kill any ordinary human. "Anything's better than going back to those zombies again." Ciel thinks to herself as she takes her first steps downward.


Ciel pulls an electric flashlight from her magical storage and clicks it on. The tunnels were vast with more twists and turns than she could count. Water trickles down the edges and dripped from the ceiling. But the greatest detail of all was "No monsters" Ciel says. There wasn't just a lack of monsters, there wasn't a living thing of any kind.

"It must take time for Dracula's minions to make their way down here." Ciel thought to herself. It wasn't an unreasonable assumption. The castle had only just appeared a week ago. The church had immediately dispatched her to keep the surrounding area quiet so as to prevent panic. The mages association also had an agent in the area to ensure knowledge of Dracula's power didn't seep into the public. Dracula himself hasn't manifested in over a hundred years. Like Roa, the Dark Lord was an immortal of some sort in that he would be reincarnated upon death. Dracula's cycle was a bit more complicated however in that he brought a legion of dark forces back with him. His castle also followed this cycle; breaking down upon his death, and apparently reappearing wherever the hell it wanted.

The entire subject of Dracula has long since been a source of conflict between the Church and the mages association. The Church views vampires to be the ultimate symbol of heresy and seeks to destroy them at all cost. It's this reason alone that drove Ciel to ally herself with the Church's Burial Agency, a division specifically tasked with hunting down vampires. The Mages on the other hand couldn't care less which magical entities exist so long as they remained in secret. The Belmont's, including Julius, were a family that dedicated themselves to the destruction of the Count. It wasn't uncommon for the Church to ally themselves with the Belmont's, though the mages association often looked towards the Church to clean up any mess left in Dracula's aftermath. Hence the conflict of interests.

This time things should be different. The last time Dracula returned he broke the usual reincarnation cycle and nearly destroyed the entire continent. His death was ultimately prevented but not without a wide score of consequences. The mages should know better now. "Should, that's a funny word." Ciel thought. The mages could be incredibly stubborn.

A change in the cavern broke Ciel's train of thought. Much of the walk so far had been filled with the same dull brownish grey scenery, but the cavern ahead reflected the light from her flashlight like a beacon. Crystals, of red, green, blue and violet lined the walls. The rocky path became as smooth as glass and reflected a sheen array of colors like oil glancing off the water's surface.

"Amazing" Ciel gasped. "Who would guess something so beautiful would lie underneath that wretched castle". The passageway was small and exclusive. None of the surrounding tunnels had anything close to resembling this. The further she walked the larger the crystals grew until some of them began to grow into the walkway ahead. Ciel stepped around an especially large emerald crystal which grew up to just past her waist. Its shades swirling in an assortment that made it appear as though the crystal were radiating a light of its own. Then the cavern opened into a dome several times the size of the brick room Ciel was in just hours before. The chamber was brightly lit, confirming Ciel's earlier observation that the crystals were indeed radiating their own light. The room was completely covered in crystalline structures, small and large. Ciel flicked off her flashlight which hardly put a dent in the amount of light these crystals put off.

Towards the back of the chamber was an enormous cluster of crystals which branch outwards from one another. Taking care to step around the smaller formations on the floor, Ciel moves closer to examine the structure. The crystals on this formation seemed different from the other ones. They didn't radiate light and their colors were completely pure, almost monotone. Upon closer inspection Ciel notices that the crystals aren't colorful at all, they're transparent. Deep inside, Ciel could make out the structure of something unnatural. Whatever it was it bent at perfect ninety degree angles and had a lined precision which shouldn't be possible in the natural world. Ciel places her hands on the glass and immediately feels a release of aura from deep within. "Magical energy?" Ciel says, puzzled. As if responding to her thoughts, the crystal structure suddenly cracks.

"Yikes!" Ciel jumped back. A large crevice split the crystal right down the middle. Numerous smaller cracks branched off of it growing larger as they spread across the surface like a cancer. Then all at once the entire formation shattered. Ciel jumped back and shielded her eyes from the blast. Shards of glass littered the floor around the once wonderful crystalline structure. In its place was a slab of stone, sleeping on top of it was a woman with sky blue hair. The woman appeared to be in her late teens. She wore a jet black dress with red lining along the seams and black combat boots similar to the ones Ciel herself was wearing. Along her waist was a leather belt with a small pouch hanging on its side. All of the material appeared handmaid and Ciel guessed that this woman was not from this time period at all. "How long have you been sleeping here?" she asked out loud, "What" came a response. "Eeek" Ciel was taken aback not expecting the girl to answer. The girl opened her brilliant red eyes and sat up to look at the intruder. "Who are you?" she asked.

Ciel stared at the girl dumbfounded for a few seconds before responding, "Well this is a first. I should be asking you the same question cave girl."

"Who am I?"

"Obviously. Or you can start by telling me what you are."

The woman looked down at the ground and didn't respond.

"Are you shy or something? This is weird for me too you don't have to be so….." what's the word she was looking for.

"I'm human. And my names Carrie, though I don't know much more than that."

"You don't know? What do mean you don't know?"

Carrie's expression grew grim and she kept silently staring at the floor.

Sigh "Amnesia huh? That's a disappointment. You certainly know how to make an entrance Carrie"

"Do you think so?" Carrie responded as she glanced around the room, seemingly for the first time.

"My names Ciel, I'm a vampire hunter with the Burial Agency. You've heard of the Roman Catholic Church?"

Carrie nodded.

"Ok good, you're coming with me then"

"Where are we going?"

Ciel pondered that for a moment. She really didn't want to spend any more time inside this castle though it would be a bad idea to leave without Julius.

"First we need to find a friend, do you know your way around the castle?"

"Castle?" Carrie returned, equally confused.

"Never mind" Ciel shrugged. "Just follow me"


Carrie obediently followed the woman in blue. She couldn't remember much about herself nor her past though she had a general idea of what was going on. Everything she did relied upon an intuition of sorts, she couldn't explain it but it worked. For example: she had no recollection of what the Roman Catholic Church was, though that name gave off a positive vibe. She felt she could trust Ciel, but had the impression she wasn't on good terms with the church. Why was that?

"….so in short the Church is religious body that worships God and promotes the common good of man." Ciel continued. She had been talking for the last hour or so. Carrie knew this was important but this person was starting to bore her with the endless talk. The Eucharist, baptism, psalms they all felt familiar but Carrie honestly had no clue what she was talking about.

"….and that brings us to the most important part about Easter celebrations. The eggs."

"Um miss Ciel" Carrie interrupted.

"Yes, are you paying attention? I was just getting to-"

"Could you be quiet for a moment?"

Ciel looked as though she'd seen a ghost. "You don't want another lesson? I thought you'd lost your memory."

"I have, but this is not necessary for me to know is it not?"

"What are you a heretic or something?"

Carrie's expression darkened at the word heretic.

"That explains it then, perhaps you're a witch Carrie. That'd explain a lot actually, which brings me to another point…"

This woman sure can talk.

Suddenly, Ciel held out her arm to stop Carrie from walking forward. She had a very serious expression as she stared at the pathway ahead.

"So you ARE good for something, about time." Ciel says.

"What's going on?" Carrie responds.

"Zombies, and a lot of them. I could feel their energy a mile away."

Carrie stared at Ciel awaiting an explanation.

"Zombie, a creature of the undead they are created by….." Ciel stopped herself short and instead continued, "They're monsters, but they will guide us back to where we need to go."

Carrie smiled. Pleased with the response the two began walking forward again. Ciel lead her through the passage ways like clockwork, reading the zombie energy trail like a map. Soon they came to a modern looking door and stepped inside. It is a much more elegant looking room than the corridor Ciel ventured through before. The hallway looked like something from a Victorian mansion. Windows lined the east side, each accompanied by a brilliant pair of regal curtains. At the far end was a horde of zombies and running towards them was a young man in a brown trench coat.

"Seriously Julius, what have you gotten yourself into this time?" Ciel said as she pulled out her assault rifle and began firing at the zombies. A terrified looking Julius ducking underneath the swarm of bullets as he continues running towards them. Ciel's ace marksmanship knocked out all traces of the undead before Julius could catch up to them.

As the man approached Carrie suddenly felt lightheaded. Something about this place felt wrong. Very wrong. It was as if the air was being sucked from her lungs.

"Watch where you're pointing that damn thing!" Julius yelled, panting from exhaustion.

"Don't question me Julius, it's you I'm worried about." Ciel rebutted.

"I had everything under control"

"Obviously"

"Anyways" Julius responded, making an obvious attempt to change the subject, "Who's the girl?"

"Don't know, found her lying in a cave."

"And you just brought her here?!" Julius said with a touch of anger in his voice.

Carrie was not taking a liking to this man. He stood a full foot taller than Ciel and had a domineering poster about him. But it wasn't his masculine stature that annoyed her, it was the arrogance that so clearly radiated from it. Homies, zombinies, or whatever those things were, they didn't look very strong. Why was he running away? Then there was this wooziness. As the man walked closer towards her it noticeably grew worse.

"This man's making me sick." Carrie said bluntly

"Great find Ciel." Julius commented

"She's a witch Belmont, you're whips aggravating her cut it out." Ciel then grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

"She's a witch huh? And how are you so sure we can trust her?" Julius says.

"Her names Carrie, and she's lost her memory." Ciel said.

Julius looked Carrie straight in the eyes and says, "Hello Carrie, my names Julius Belmont. Do you know what that means?"

Carrie nodded.

"Really?" Ciel inquired, "How so?"

"I'm not sure" Carrie said, "Though the name…."

A wave of images suddenly flood through her head. There's a man with short red hair sitting next to me by a campfire. A whip at his side. He stares blankly into the fire as if he carried the weight of the entire world on his shoulders. Carrie peers closely to ask him "Did you save my life?" The man looks up and the vision fades.

"What? Save your life? I dunno, I guess we did young lady hahaha" Julius bellows.

Carrie looks up at him, noticing striking similarities between the two. "Reinhardt" she says

"Reinhardt?" Julius repeats, surprised. "Now that is interesting" he continues and folds his whip back onto his side. Carrie's dizziness immediately dissolves upon doing so.

"No you're not Reinhardt. He's someone I used to know. He looked like to you." Carrie inquired

"He should, he was a Belmont back in the day. He's the one who defeated Dracula during the great scourge. But what troubles me is…"

"That was over a hundred years ago" Ciel finishes for him.

"Interesting indeed" Julius ponders.

"That doesn't surprise me" Carrie adds, "I'm actually surprised it hasn't been longer"

"It's unexpected, but I'd say we've found the clue we were searching for." Julius says, rubbing his chin as though he had a beard.

"If she's a witch then she falls within the jurisdiction of the Mage's Association." Ciel comments, "Which means the church was right all along."

"Perhaps" Julius continues, "But we won't find anything standing around here." And with that he turns around and begins walking down the hallway he came from.

Carrie pulls Ciel close and whispers in her ear, "Are you sure about this guy?"

"Oh don't worry, he's a professional. One of the best fighters I've ever met and that's saying something." Ciel reassured her. "Bit of a scardy cat at times though"

"Maybe that's it." Carrie says.


Julius kept a steady pace twenty feet or so ahead of Carrie and Ciel. Occasionally a bat or a ghost would swoop down after them to which the young Belmont quickly disposed of with his whip. Carrie hated it when he did, the queasiness in her stomach was getting old.

"You're not sick" Ciel spoke.

"I know" Carrie blankly responded.

"I know I know I know" Ciel mocked. "You keep saying that even though you haven't a clue."

"I do though, it's hard to explain."

"It's because you're a witch, the Belmont's whip is named Vampire Killer. There's nothing like it in all the world. It's a device that-"

"Cancels magic" Carrie finished. "I remember now."

"Oh really?" Ciel asked.

"I can remember a lot of things now, the farm, my village, childhood friends, my father. It's all coming back, like it was never lost to begin with."

"What about your mother?" Ciel further questioned

"Huh?" Carrie says

"You said you remember your father but you didn't mention anything about your mother. What happened to her?"

"She died"

"Oh" Ciel responded, her thoughts drifting back to her own family. "You know, it could have been worse."

"I'm not so sure" Carrie responded. "There's still a lot that's missing. This castle is feeling more and more familiar to me. I don't think that's a good thing. Perhaps it is best I do not remember the details."

"Well in that case I envy of you"

"Envy?" Carrie says puzzled.

"Yeah envy. You see when I was your age I…" Ciel's sentence trailed off. "Now that I think of it how old are you Carrie? If you remember that is."

"19" she responded. "What year is it?"

"1998" Ciel answered, "I think you're a little older than 19" both her and Carrie break into laughter.

"It feels so good to laugh, thank you Ciel." Carrie says as if it's nothing and continues marching ahead. That statement worried Ciel though. She knew that expression, that laughter intended as an escape to pretend everything was all right. "What wounds you must carry" Ciel thought to herself, ignoring the pun she just made.

They turned a corner into a larger hallway. The ceiling expanded, with a long red carpet lying upon the floor. Equally spaced along the center are large gothic columns stretching towards the ceiling. At the end of the Grand Hall was an enormous door Carrie assumed was the exit. Just as they were nearing the giant doors, Julius stopped dead in his tracks and motioned his hand backwards to signal for them to do so as well. Something's wrong, Carrie could feel it.

"Going so soon?" came an eerie voice from above. Carrie looked up at the ceiling to see a group of people hanging upside down from the rafters, pairs of blood red jewels glaring down upon them. "Those eyes!" Carrie gasped.

She was in her room. Something was shaking her, "Carrie, you need to get up sweetheart it's time to go" came a familiar voice. "Daddy?" a sleepy eyed Carrie glared up at her father's pale white face. "What's wrong?" she asked. Her father forced a smile and replied, "Everything's going to be all right sweetie, but we need to go now come on." He reached down and picked her up. Carries sleepy eyes began to drop with the gentle rhythm of her fathers footsteps. He carried her though the halls and down the stairs, but just before opening the front door a scream pierced the night. EEEEEEEAAAAAAA "MOMMY" Carrie screamed, her eyes now wide open. She struggles out of her father's grip and begins running back up the stairs. "CARRIE" her father shouts after her. "CARRIE NO COME BACK!" he chases her up the stairs.

Carrie runs strait to her parent's bedroom to see her mom sitting on her bed staring blankly out the window. "MOMMY!" she screams, but she doesn't turn. Carrie rushes to her mother's side, pulling on her sleepwear screaming "MOMMY MOMMY DAD SAYS WE NEED TO GO NOW!" Her father bursts into the room, "Carrie we need to-"his speech cut short as his eyes grow wide. Carrie feels a cold rush of air freeze her skin and turns to see the window open. A creature coiled along the windowsill, with a pair of glowing red eyes staring straight at her. Carrie starts tugging on her mom's arm again, never letting her eyes leave the creature. Its cold eyes staring her down all the while. "Carrie" her dad swallows hard and calmly states "she's gone Carrie there's nothing I can do, we need to leave right now." Carrie pulls harder on her mom's sleeve, "I'm scared mommy, I'm so scared" A large forked tongue slips though the monsters mouth as it licks its lips.

The monster suddenly leaps forward and grabs the little girl yanking her out towards the window. "CARRIE" dad screams, and Carrie feels something roughly pull her towards the side. She looks over to see her mom tightly holding on to her legs. "Look at me Carrie, keep looking at me, It's alright." she says. The vampire tugs harder and harder at Carrie's arms, trying to pull her through. Dad jumps at the monster but with a swipe of his hand he's knocked aside. THUMP, his head slams on a dresser drawer. In the chaos her mother pulls her back onto the bed "YOU CAN'T HAVE HER!" she shouts at the monster. "But we get along so well you and I" the monster hisses, "you wanted this, we've become so…acquainted with one another." "YOU CAN"T HAVE HER!" mom screams. The monster jumps towards the little girl, but her mother throws herself at the monster. It easily picks her up and tosses her aside. "Out of my way." It hisses and inches closer until its inches away from Carries face. "You look absolutely delicious." It says.

The vampires face is abruptly torn aside. Mom jumps on top of the monster and begins beating it with her fists screaming "RUN CARRIE RUN!" Carrie remains on the bed, confused as to what to do. The disorientated monster quickly reels its claws back and slashes at the woman's neck. Blood squirts into the air as he tosses her aside and stands. "EEEEEEEEE" Carrie screams and holds her arms out into the air. "go away go away go away go away go away GO AWAY!" there's a flash of brilliant green light. Carrie looks up to see the vampire on fire, withering away on the floor as it dissolves into ash. Carrie races out of the room and rushes underneath her bed. Terrified and unable to fall asleep.


"Those eyes!" Carrie screamed then suddenly fell to the floor. "Carrie!" Ciel shouts but the woman appears unconscious.

"It's for the best Ciel" came Julius's response. "Keep her out of the way while I take care of things" he shouts with a crack of his whip.

"Fool! You've never fought a vampire before." Ciel shouted back. But the Belmont prodigy would have nothing of it.

One by one the vampires dropped from the ceiling and began circling around the pair. Julius threw a few daggers at the creature closest to him which the vampire easily dodged. In that time, Julius closed the distance between them and smashed the butt of his whip against the creature's skull. Three other vampires jump around him. "FIRAGA" he shouts, and his whip immediately bursts into a fiery blaze. He circles the whip around him at such high speeds there appears to be a literal wall of fire blocking their path. A vampire dives underneath the blaze, but suddenly explodes into ash. A wooden stake now in Julius's left hand.

Ciel is surprised. "So you can fight after all Belmont!" She shouts towards him, Julius being far too occupied to care. Ciel swings her firearm on her shoulder and instantly materializes a set of swords between her fingers. These weapons had a long modified blade equally designed for throwing and slashing, the church called these weapons Black Keys. She rushes her enemies with incredible speed. The vampires, being unprepared for such an assault, fail to even flinch as Ciel slices them to shreds. Battles with vampires were nothing to trifle over, but these creatures were clearly not expecting such powerful opponents.

"CIEL WATCH IT!" Julius shouts. A surprised Ciel flips backwards to avoid an impending attack and looks around. There's no one around her, what's he on about? Then comes the sudden realization, there's no one around her. "Carrie!" Ciel shouts looking back to see the vampires racing towards the sleeping girl. She throws her keys at the enemies, but misses.

Just as the vampires begin to close on her position, Carrie's body spontaneously erupts in blue flames. Ciel glances at Julius to see him throw a second vial of holy water at Carrie. The blaze grows like an explosion. The vampires shriek as they pull back, injured by the holy flames. Ciel quickly closes the distance to kill them, but only succeeds to shoo them away. The vampires re-group for another attack when a sudden flash of green light spits the nearest one in two. One by one the vampires leap into the air and race away under cover of the rafters above. Ciel grabs her assault rifle off her shoulder and races after them, opening fire.

Julius calmly mounts his whip before approaching the witch, now wide awake. "You feeling alright?" he asks. "Much better thanks." Carrie responds and stands on her feet. "It's starting to come back to me. I've been to this castle before. I came here to kill Dracula. Things looked a little different though." her eyes dance around the room deep in thought.

A few minutes later Ciel returns with a bright look on her face. "Did you kill them?" Julius inquires. "A few yes" she responds with a smile. "Good, with that we leave on a good note." Julius says.

The three vampire hunters open the grand door and depart.
