Prologue
2010
March 22nd
The clouds moved over the moon, as the trio stood outside the castle. They had been trained their whole lives for this, and were at the peak of physical fitness. They hoped that they were ready for the challenges that lay ahead, but they had no time to worry about that, as the castle that appeared once every hundred years had returned.
Castlevania. The castle of the Dark Lord Dracula.
The three were friends, having been raised together, to combat this threat, should it ever return. And it had.
There was Kassi Patra, a short, young witch with extraordinary powers. She had long, black hair, that flowed smoothly down to her waist, and wore a pale blue t-shirt, with a brown jacket over it, dark jeans, and a pair of white trainers. She was the heart of the trio, keeping them together through thick and thin.
Second was Matt Antony, a tall rogue, who specialised in long-range combat, carrying twin pistols, with bullets blessed by the Church. He has short, fluffy, brown hair that curled on his head. He wore a hooded jacket, with black jeans, and dark trainers. He was the life of the trio, a cheerful man, who had a positive effect on those around him.
Finally, there was Shaun Belmont. Known affectionately as Shauny by the other two. As the heir to the Belmont legacy, he had a heavy burden placed on his shoulders, and often felt unworthy to belong to such a renowned lineage, but he always came through when it mattered. He wore a black jacket, over a dark blue t-shirt, with a pair of blue jeans, and a black set of trainers. He carried the Vampire Killer whip on his belt, along with a few bottles of holy water, and a crucifix. He was the soul of the team, making them laugh and cheering them up when they were down.
These three friends had been raised as the only hope, should Dracula return to the world. And he had. Steeling themselves, the approached the drawbridge. It began to lower as the came closer, opening fully as they reached it. Looking at one another, they set off inside without a word.
As they moved inside the walls, they were greeted by an unexpected sight.
Death himself.
