Castlevania: Resurrection of Darkness
Prologue
1792
Alucard was running from Richter Belmont and Maria Renard and heading
towards his
crypt. He could not look upon that young woman's face and not feel
ill from the fact that
his curse prevented him from giving her love in fear that he would
kill her. Alucard
reached his crypt just as the sun was high in the sky and he put himself
back to sleep. A
few hours later after following his footsteps Maria ended up at Alucard's
crypt. She
opened the door and stepped inside. She saw Alucard asleep and tried
to wake him up.
"Alucard, wake up please. It's me Maria, remember. Oh please wake up."
Maria
suddenly felt tried herself and she fell asleep inside the coffin with
Alucard. The coffin
lid closed on them and sealed in a magical barrier until once again
the balance of power
shifts towards evil which wouldn't happen till...
1852
The former werewolf Cornell watched the moonlight with his pregnant
wife Ada on top
of the house they had lived in since Cornell defeated Dracula in 1836.
Ada curled up
beside him and started to drift off to sleep. Cornell sat there watching
the moon when a
ghostly figure appeared out of nowhere. Cornell turned to face this
ghost and the shifting
of his body woke up Ada who stared in horror at the ghost. However
Cornell recognized
the ghost and was shocked himself. The ghost was Cornell in his werewolf
form.
"Hello self." The ghost said in a grouchy voice. "Dracula has once again
awaken and is
spreading his terror throughout the land. You must once again become
me." "How?
Dracula took away that ability." Cornell said. The ghost laughed at
him and said "The
ability has always been inside you. All Dracula did was take away a
piece of that power.
He could never take it all away from you. Just relax and let out the
wolf in you."
Cornell did so and after a few minutes of convulsing he had successfully
achieved his
lost werewolf form. The ghost then disappeared and Cornell holwed at
the moon scaring
Ada to death. When he finished he changed back and looked at her scared
face. "Sorry
Ada lost my head for a minute." "That's okay. You're going after him
again aren't you?"
Cornell nodded and said "I'll take you to a convent where you'll be
safe until I've taken
care of him." Ada hugged him and he hugged her back.
Meanwhile in the town of Wallachia several miles away a young man gathered
up several
items included a whip made of silver. His name Reinhart Schneider a
decendant of the
Belmont clan, destined to fight Dracula. A knock on the door broke
him out of his
reverie. "Come in." He said. "Hey buddy, ready to go to Veros and kill
some vampires
and other stuff." Henry Oldley yelled as he walked through Reinhart's
bedroom door.
"Yeah sure. You sure you wanna come with me after what happen to you
8 years ago in
that god-forsaken castle?" Henry nodded. "Yeah and if my father or
mother shows up I
won't hesitate to kill him and if de Rais shows up I'm definitely killing
him."
Reinhart lowered his eyes to the floor as that remark. Henry's father
was transformed
into a vampire by Gilles de Rais, a vampire in Dracula's court. He
turned Henry's mother
but not before she gave Henry to a werewolf named Cornell to get him
out of there.
Cornell did so and Henry was raised by the church and was taught along
with Reinhart to
hunt the vampire scourge by Reinhart's grandfather, the legendary Richter
Belmont.
Years later Castlevania had risen again and Reinhart now had to take
the family legacy
and send Dracula back to hell.
"Hey you two..." An old man's voice yelled "Come down here for a minute."
"Yes
Grandpa." Reinhart and Henry walked downstairs and into the library.
There was Richter
Belmont, around eighty years old yet he didn't look a day over 60.
(It must be that rumor
that the Belmonts are related by blood with Alucard and to Dracula.)
"You two look like
you're ready to give the Count an ass whooping." "Grandpa!?" Reinhart
blushed at his
grandfather's language.
"Be warned though, I feel a great vergence of evil. The last time a
vergence like this was
felt, I had been placed under a spell by the necromancer Shaft. Something
tells me that
you two won't be the only hunters going into that god forsaken castle.
Maybe you'll even
run into Dracula's own son and maybe even your long lost aunt Maria."
Reinhart and
Henry nodded and went outside and started on their journey towards
Veros and
Castlevania.
A mile in front of them a young girl was also walking towards Demon
Castle Dracula.
Her name was Carrie Fernandez. She headed for Castlevania as soon as
it showed up. She
felt it was her duty to kill Dracula since she was a decendant of Sypha
Belnades. Her
family was butchered by his minions when he found out about them. Carrie
was the only
one to survive the massacre. She raced towards Veros as fast as she
could knowing that
the town might need her when Dracula would send his hordes to destroy
the peaceful
town.
Back in Alucard's crypt the dhampire was having bad visions of towns
burning and
monsters running rampant and his father was leading them all. It disturbed
him so much
that he had to wake up just to make them stop. He felt a weight on
his body and he
strained to see what it was. He saw that it was Maria and some how
she was still alive.
Alucard then sensed the reappearance of Castlevania, opened up the
coffin, and woke up
Maria.
"Oh hi Alucard. I guess I kinda fell asleep in your coffin." "Yes you
did. The power of
this place kept you alive and young." Alucard turned into mist and
floated out of the
coffin. He turned back into his human form and help Maria out like
the true gentleman
that he was. Suddenly they heard a woman laughing outside the crypt.
They ran outside to
see a woman floating in midair wearing a witch's hat. "Who are you
madam?" Alucard
asked as he reached into his cape for a sword. "Don't bother trying
to go for a sword for
the human wouldn't last long enough for you to use it." the woman said
as she pointed
her hand at Maria.
Alucard bought his hand out of his cape however before he did he hid
the card holding
the sword familiar and put it in his sleeve. "I repeat my question.
Who are you?" "I am
Actrise, Dracula's personal witch. You must be his son Alucard. Who
are you young lady
that stands next to my master's son?" "My name is Maria and if you
are with Dracula
then you are my enemy." Actrise then started throwing fireballs at
the two and Alucard
threw the card into the air where it turned into the sword familiar.
It flew towards Actrise
who promptly batted it away. It fell to the ground and changed back
into a card. Actrise
fired fireballs at the two again. Alucard transformed into a huge wolf
and dodged the
attacks. He then motioned for Maria to climb onto his back and when
she did, he ran into
the woods heading towards Veros with Maria hanging on for dear life.
"Now the real
game can begin. Ha HA HA HA HA HA!" Actrise then disappeared into the
darkness.
