Castlevania: Dream of Misery

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Romania, 1687

Count Dracula has been resurrected once again, and has plunged the world into chaos.

The Belmont family is called once again to battle the demonic Dracula, Victor Belmont, son of Simon, has taken up the mantle of the Vampire Killer Whip and heads towards the newly risen Castlevania.

Victor destroys Dracula at the cost of his life. The Belmont family is unable to carry on its lineage.

Vincent Ragnarok, one of the many disciples of Simon Belmont is called to find a way to destroy Count Dracula permanently or else Count Dracula will triumph over the forces of Good.

" One glass of ale please."

"Coming up!" The plump bartender said with glee.

A few minutes later, the bartender passed the ale to the cloaked customer. The customer then leaned closer to the bartender and asked, "Do you know anything about Count Vlad Tepes Dracula ?"

Hearing those words, the bartender changed his attitude. "No. Please drink your ale fast and leave this bar."

The cloaked customer silently placed his ale on one of the tables and left the bar. The bartender looked relieved after the cloaked figure was gone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bartender packed up his things and left the bar at dawn. Suddenly, he saw the cloaked customer once again.

"Tell me all you know about Dracula now, or else…"

"Or else what?" the bartender stammered.

"Or else you can say goodbye to yourself. Now, if you don't want to die, tell me everything you know about Dracula."

"Dracula is a monster, his evilness rivals that of the Devil himself. He eats life at whim and turns everyone who enters his castle into vampires. He has an immense hatred for humanity, especially for the Belmont clan. May I ask, who are you ?"

" Simon Belmont's best disciple, Vincent Ragnarok."

"You're Ragnarok? The situation is very bad . Simon Belmont had recently passed away and Victor, his only son is dead."

"I need your help. Find out where Amy Belnades lives. I need her sorcery for my plan." Ragnarok said softly.

"Alright. She lives in a small cottage in the edge of this village with her daughter. Be careful, they're very powerful witches.

"Thank you. I shall go now." Vincent suddenly vanished from sight, as swift as he came.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mum! A scary person's here to see you!" Five year old Simon Belnades shrieked.

Amy Belnades walked through the hallway and said angrily, "Who are you and what do you want?"

Vincent spoke calmly, "I am Vincent Ragnarok, disciple of Simon Belmont. I need your help in order to battle Dracula."

Amy laughed, "You're here to ask me to fight? No thanks, I have kids to look after.

"The world needs you."

"So what? I don't care if Dracula comes here right now." Amy snapped angrily.

"Mother! How could you say that?"

"Maria?"

Maria Belnades was at her room, looking furiously at her mother.

"If you won't go, I will."

Vincent objected to this at once, "You're too young."

"I'm already 16. I want to save the world."

Amy was furious. "Go then, I'll disown you."

Simon was pleading. 'Don't go, sis."

"I will go. Let's go." Maria looked at Vincent with strong determination.

"Are you sure? I want a powerful witch, not a novice."

"I am powerful." Maria snapped.

"No, you're not. You can't even cast a fire spell." Amy roared.

"I will learn someday. Let's go."

"Ok."

Vincent and Maria left the Belnades cottage together, determined to stop Dracula.
