I don't own Castlevania , no matter how much I adore it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sit on the throne, sipping a glass of blood. Memories of my friends came flooding back to me.
Mina Hakuba. She died at the castle entrance, waiting for me to return. Blood tears came trickling down whenever I think of her.
Yoko Beldanes. She challenged my power. I killed her and threw her body out of the castle. She deserved it, that fool.
J a.k.a Julius Belmont. He told me that he would fulfill his promise. What a lie. Are the Belmonts really that powerful? He was nothing to me. He clearly disgraced his family. This vermin is not worth my attention at all.
Alucard. I knew him as Genya Arikado. He was responsible for my transformation. He vanished, not strong enough to defeat me. Maybe one day, I'll convince him to join my side.
Thinking of them made me wonder, who am I exactly? Was I destined to become Count Dracula? Am I to suffer this damned fate for eternity?
I hope Julius wasn't the last Belmont. If he was, I would die out of boredom.
In every century, on the 21st of November, if you look carefully, you'll see my castle.
Should I unleash my legion of demons upon the foolish mortals? I think I should, but now's not the time.
I suddenly found the answers to my questions. I am Dracula, the dark lord. I am destined to be this…monstrosity. Yes, I would suffer this pointless existence for eternity.
The simplicity of this questions made me laugh. My laugh sounded malevolent, yet tormented.
Suddenly, a familiar aura surrounded me. It was a Belmont.
Julius's grandson, I suppose.
" Who are you? Are you Dracula?" The Belmont asked fearlessly.
I smirked and threw the glass down on the floor. " My name is Soma Cruz, and I'm Dracula."
