Disclaimer: I do NOT own Velkan…I wish I did though.
This is just his thoughts as he is tied to the chair. His love for his sister and her loyalty and faith in him, I find absolutely incredible. I always perceived them as close and so this rant had to be written. I couldn't finish my other story until I wrote this. Enjoy!

Thoughts of a lost brother.
My dear sweet Anna…how you must grieve for me, we were more then brother and sister. We were best friends. Seeing your face as I turned into that werewolf shall haunt me for the rest of my life and I wish to leave the world thinking of you, my most cherished light.
I remember the day you were born, that mop of dark curls so much like our fathers, the bright eyes, and how you reached to hold my hand and I swear to the Gods that you smiled at me. I loved you from that moment on. I swore to the Gods, even at that age, that Dracula would never have the satisfaction of claiming your life. I would protect you until the day I died.
I remember watching you grow, from an infant to a mischievous little girl, to a lanky teenager and finally into a beautiful young woman. The day you finally proved yourself in battle, father and I realized what a skilled fighter you were. I smiled. I was proud, Anna, and I know I never told you how proud I was to call you my sister. I just pray to the Gods you know that I was, and still am proud of you.
This Van Helsing is a most intriguing character. I know you try not to let yourself get distracted by him. I applaud you for this, for if I were you…well I wouldn't have so much control. Don't act too cold though, he likes you and face it, you like him. He'd do anything for you even now, like trying to find a cure for me, even though he knows it's a lost cause. And it is, Anna. You shouldn't waste your time with me. I cannot be saved,
I only wish you could see that. I can't blame you though, should the positions be reversed I would never give up on you, and I think that is what pushes you to save me. It is what I love most about you, Anna. Your stubbornness is your talent and your curse. Your loyalty is unmatched and I hope you remain loyal to our cause. Don't throw away your life saving me, I don't want you to.
The moon is out now, sister. I can feel the change begin, my love for you turns to hatred under the influence of our sinister ancestor. Gods Anna, if I find you tonight, end it for me. No guilt, baby sister, defeating Dracula is your destiny, I knew that long ago you would be the one to save our family. So I'll look up to the moon now, my beloved sister and say good-bye. For this is truly the end of me. Velkan Valerious is no more…he is a puppet of the most evil being of hell, and you…Anna Valerious are the cherished daughter and sister of the Valerious family. Our hopes of peace live through you, a burden I wish was not placed upon your shoulders, yet I know of all family passed, it is you, who will bring our family the last victory.
