Castlevania - The Chronicles Of Christopher Belmont

Book One - Castlevania Adventures

By Chaos Hero Mark

Prologue - The Rise Of A Champion

A hooded, young man at the age of twenty-five, made his way out of the church, at the crack of dawn. He had blond hair and wore a leather head-band, across his forehead; donning a yellow-goldish leather breastplate underneath his green tunic, with a pouch strapped across his shoulder and a whip on his side. Finally, he had on a leather kilt with light-brown pants and leather boots. A few feet away from him, stood a man, with horse in tow, and a woman. The woman was twenty-two in age. She had long, pitch-black hair; wore a simple, dark-red dress and had a growing stomach. The man standing next to her, was the same age as her. He had short red hair and a flat trimmed goatee. He wore a long sleeved, blue tunic; dark blue pants, black boots and a teal-coloured, hooded cloak. As their paths drew closer to each other, she quickened her pace towards the hooded man. When they got closer, he fell to his knees as he gently embraced her stomach.

" Have you decided on a name, Silvia? " The blond man asked.

She gave him a serene smile and said " Soleiyu, is what we shall call him. "

The red-haired man was confused as he came closer to the pair. " What if it's a girl? " He asked them.

" This one's a boy, I can feel it. " The hooded man whispered as he got to his feet. He removed his light-brown hood and stared at Silvia eyes. She couldn't help but fear for the life of her husband, but in her heart, she knew that it was time for him to fulfill his calling.

The other man stepped closer, with a grim expression and said " It's sad really. People are already accusing your family of consorting with Dracula. They have forgotten whose risking their lives for those ungrateful cads. "

Silvia turned to him and said " They are afraid, Devon. "

" That's still no excuse, Silvia. " Devon then, turned his attention to the blond man with a look of sympathy on his face. " Are you sure you don't want my help Christopher? My magic is not without skill. I'm sure I can help you. "

The man known as Christopher, looked at them with a serious expression and said " Thank you Devon, but you have another task, and that is to protect my wife and child until I return. "

Silvia became afraid for his life, but Christopher assured her and said " Have faith in me. I will return... to both of you. "

After a moment, Devon said " It will take you at least two days to reach Castlevania. Here. " He handed the horses reins to Christopher and added. " I've packed some rations on this horse for you. May God be with you, my friend. "

" The same to you. " He nodded as he climbed onto the steed. The hunter motioned to the horse and asked " What's his name? "

" Silver " was Devon's reply. Silvia took off a bracelet, made of purple beads, from her wrist and drew nearer to him. He held out his hand and she fastened it on his wrist. There was no need to say anything at that point. Devon nodded at him, indicating that she will be safe. He turned around, nudging Silver forward. She could only stare as he rode off into the distant, until his figure could no longer be seen.

Authors notes: I've noticed this section has been riddled with Alucard and Jonathan X Charlotte fics. Now I've no issue with that, but what bothers me is that no-one has written a fic about a forgotten individual; one called Christopher Belmont. I wish to do him justice, hence why I've started this fic. It will come in three story arcs, the first arc covering Castlevania Adventures. The second arc will cover Belmont's Revenge, sixteen/seventeen years after Adventures, and the final arc will be on Soleiyu, set ten years after Belmont's Revenge. You're more than welcome to read and review, I won't force you to do either, and finally I hope you enjoy what you've read so far.

P.S. If you haven't played Castlevania Adventures or Belmont's Revenge on Gameboy, I strongly recommend these classics. ( Although Adventures is more difficult )
