*I know Guido and Zobek speak Enochian in the part mentioned in the game, but I do not know of any way to write that, nor do I know the language itself*

Rosa Aeternam

Guido Szandor, the third acolyte stood in the basilica of Satan.

"Soon my lord, soon shall you return and cleanse this earth of heathens".

He bowed before walking away, to attend to other, more pressing matters. Zobek waited for him, and placed the two Crissaegrim's on an altar. Guido would be pleased.


Aline showed Constantine her apartment and he shook his head.

"It's rather drab, isn't it? And what is with this city? It lacks people, presence and vibrancy. It is more like a ghost town".

Aline sat in front of him, with a cup of coffee in her hands.

"The people were turned into cannibalistic monsters by Satan's daughter, Raisa Volkova. As for this apartment, it serves it's purpose. I eat here, sleep here, contemplate things here".

Her Father looked shocked.

"Well, at least you are looking after yourself. I did worry about you, after you left, you know. I hated myself for lashing out. I should never have shouted at you. I should count myself lucky, as a person who has never had to tell off their child. Do you contemplate your life?"

Aline frowned, and he knew that her reply would be negative.

"Death, more than anything. Father, I am one hundred and fifty six years old, with only a quarter vampire blood. How long do I have left? How long before I start looking decrepit? Before my joints creak and my bones ache? How old do I look to you, if you did not know me?"

Constantine studied her face.

"I'd say, thirty four/thirty five. And I wish I could quell your worry, but I do not know how much longer you have. As a Father, that kills me to say it".

"That is why I am trying to make a difference whilst I am here. I am no use dead, but what if I suddenly die? Then what?"

Constantine grimaced.

"I would mourn for you for all eternity, and I am sure Alucard would too".

"Never. Perhaps he would feel dejected for a short time, but that's it. We are mere acquaintances after all".

"That is rather harsh, sweetheart. I do sense more than that. But I will not push the matter".

Aline stood up, and her tone and body movements signalled awkwardness.

"As a Father, shouldn't you be concerned if anyone shows interest in me, especially men? Oh...erm. Did I just say that?"

She sat down and put her bright red face in her hands. Constantine gave her a knowing smile.

"See? More than acquaintances, that's for certain. And only if I feel that they will hurt you, or make you cry".

Aline took a few breaths before looking at him.

"The sun is setting. I think we should go with Dracula and Alucard, to find Zobek, the Crissaegrim's and the third acolyte".

Constantine nodded and they left for the castle.


When they arrived, a portal was already there, and Dracula and Alucard were standing beside it.

"We have located the third acolyte. He is in a basilica of Satan. We must act now if we are to stop his resurrection".

The white haired vampire's tone was restraining animosity.

Dracula said nothing, and ignored the three people in the room with him. He walked through the portal, and the others followed. The room they arrived in had four huge, minotaur statues. As everyone drew closer, they came to life, one by one. Constantine was thrown a sword by Alucard and he grabbed it. The three vampire's eyes turned red, fire burned within them, and their blood before they attacked.

Aline watched the three, before springing into action herself. Her bullets were doing nothing, so she took out her short swords. They easily sliced through the minotaur's flesh.

Dracula was like a beast, uncaring of anything other than carnage, slaughter and feeding. Alucard was swift but graceful, calm, but the intensity in his eyes expressed an inner rage. Constantine was in-between the Father and son, not violent, but not calm. He planned each move, executing them perfectly.

Aline finished off the last minotaur, and chanting was heard. It sounded like it was coming from the doorway at the far end of the huge room she and the three vampires were in. They all ran towards the sound, and into a chapel. Aline looked confused. She had to whisper, as they did not wish to make any more noise. By now, the acolyte would know that they were there, and it put everyone on edge.

"A chapel? Isn't that for the worshiping of God? Not Satan. This makes no sense".

Everyone ignored her, and she rolled her eyes.

"I take it the Vampire Killer and Crissaegrim's are to stop you three from preventing Satan's return. But what of me? I know alone that I would struggle, but I would try to stop it".

Constantine and the group slowly walked forward.

"Perhaps, they have need of you. I hope that isn't the case. I would die before he touches you".

Aline's eyes widened, before she hurriedly walked to the group of three men, who were now huddled and listening to Guido.

"That language, I do not recognise it".

Alucard was distressed, and Dracula looked up before shouting.

Zobek flew at the group, before graphite coloured smoke followed his body, and he transformed into Death. Aline and the three vampires hissed at him, an eruption of rage made their blood heat up.

"It is ancient Enochian. And the four of you are too late. Aline, you were right in your suspicions. The Vampire Killer will stop your vampiric companions, the Crissaegrim's are in case they get too close. But you were wondering how myself and Guido could stop you. Anything I touch dies, my dear".

Death laughed maniacally and Aline shivered.

"No! If you believe that I will willingly let you touch me, you are mistaken. I am not the only one who wishes to break every single one of your bones and crush them beneath our boots. Come then, I do not wish to talk any more".

Guido stopped talking to Satan's statue, before his enemies collided with him and Death.

Aline had to be aware of everything she did, or she would be killed. This wasn't how she wished to die, so she had to rely on her skills and sight. She attacked Guido, who due to his overweight body, wasn't able to dodge her. He howled, and gritted his sharp, yellow teeth before picking up the now complete Vampire Killer. Aline attacked him again, but for a fatal second, her body was not guarded, and he thrust has hand forward, and the Vampire Killer burnt Aline's flesh. She screamed, before Death, now back in his Zobek form laughed again, then died under Dracula's blade.

Guido disappeared, the Vampire Killer hit the floor, and Aline's wounds were bleeding, but her blood was onyx coloured. She clutched her abdomen, before falling to her knees.

Her body was rejecting the very thing that had kept her alive for all these years. Her vampiric blood.
