Chapter 4: Villa De Nocturne
A castle looms in the distance. In the highest spire of the castle,the vampire Raylus and his vampire wife Dimitria, watch over the world. These two immortal souls have long ago lost the need for the blood of humans. For centuries they have watched the world and not interfered but now...now they must....for she has awakened....and now...now the entire world is in danger....
" We're almost there Maria.. Watch out, he's quite good with traps." Flying close to the ground, he shapeshifts directly into a wolf and begins running towards the castle. Avoiding the ground pits and white roses, he makes it to the castle door. Turning back into human, he feels around the door for the secret unlocking switch. Suddenly he finds it and pushes it in. The gigantic doors began to open slowly.
" The doors of hell look more inviting then this...nevertheless..must continue.." at that he dashes into the castle as the doors close behind him.
" Maria, there should be an entrance in the tower on the right. Watch out it's defended by lasers and Guardians." Maria continued to circle the castle as Tatyana pointed out the entrance. Looking around, she thought aloud" You know...it was easier getting into Dracula's castle." Tatyana leaned over and looked in the bat's eye. "That's because he thought he was invincible. Haha but master Alucard can defeat anyone!" Maria entered a dive, as the laser armed themselves and aimed. "Tatyana that maybe true but we have to survive, now hold on. " The air filled with beams of light. Maria flying as if she had been a bat her entire life, dodged the beams and entered the spire.
Tatyana flew around, checkig the surroundings. "It seems we've flown into the dungeon. There's bound to be ghosts here." Maria transformed back into her original form "Well might as well get started. You...." Maria suddenly slumped to the ground. Tatyana flew over to her, checking her pulse "She's still breathing maybe.." Tatyana suddenly slumped to the ground. "No one enters my castle without me knowing...." A man suddenly materialized from a shadow on the wall. Picking up the two, he teleported away.
Alucard had come to a room lit with softly burning candles. Looking around, he found a woman sitting in a chair. "Welcome to my castle. I am Lady Dimitria. You must be Alucard. Raylus was correct after all." Alucard went to a chair opposite of the woman. Looking at the woman, she was beautiful even more then Maria. Though her clothes. They were odd...different somehow... she was maybe 5'6 and dressed in a mixture of what looked like a jacket and vest crossbreed. Underneath a low cut, skin tight,sleeveless black shirt. Tight black leather pants adorned her lower half with knee high leather boots. Raising her hand he noticed the black leather gloves. She was truly not of this world. Sitting down, he slumped a bit." So if he knew I was coming. then he must know the urgency of my visit."
A low voice echoed through the room " Always straight to business, Alucard you will never change."
Jumping from the rafters, Lord Raylus landed nimbly on the back of a chair. Alucard and Lady Dimitria shook there heads in union. Lord Raylus looked at his wife and grinned.
Alucard looked at the full grown vampire, stronger then his own father, his hair was as long as Alucard's but brown. He stood over 6 feet tall and his eyes were black holes. His tan skin, unnatural for vampires as most were pale. He was dressed in the same finery as Alucard except made of blue silk. He wore a blue cape made for royalty.
"It seems you won't either. Lord Raylus. Still in favor of your grand entrances." Alucard looked up at his old mentor. "How have you been?"
"Busy," he looks at his wife, "She's fond of the 20th century and it seems with old age we've gained the ability to time travel. So we've been back and forth."
"Ah, I see." Alucard suddenly thinking of Maria. "Hey....."
"Ease your mind. They are fine." Lord Raylus raised his hand and the vampire and fairy floated down from the ceiling, coming to rest in two chairs. Snapping his fingers, the two woke up. "A minor sleeping spell."
Alucard walked over to Maria's side. "Are you alright? " he raised her head into his hands. "I'm fine Alucard. Where are we?"
Alucard pointed to the two old vampires sitting next to each other.
"Welcome to Villa De Nocturne mon cherié. I am Raylus and this
is my wife Dimitria... we are the masters of this castle. It seems we must
go to battle. Though first you two must learn new fighting methods ...that
is if you want to survive this. Maria you're with Dimi."
"Very well then. Lead the way." Dimitrias stood and walked through the wall
behind her. "This way. We can get some more clothes for you as well."
Looking around nervously, she followed the vampire through the wall..
Raylus grinned at the young vampire." Like old times eh? Let's go"
Alucard called the Tatyana back to her tarot. "I'm ready."
"Very well..." Raylus snapped his fingers and the room dematerialized. "Time
to learn the new art of combat Alucard.."
