PROLOGUE
Out of Castlevania, Alucard, Maria and Richter came as it crumbled from count Vlad Tepes Dracula's latest death at his own son's hands and having learned the last words of his departed wife Lisa and the reason his son will not join him in his evil ways.
Alucard: Father...
Dracula: Well met my son, it's been a long time.
Alucard: I was hoping we would not see each other again. I cannot allow you to leave here father.
Dracula: You have ever been the allies of humans. Have you forgotten what they did to your mother?
Alucard: Think you I would forget such a thing? No, but neither do I seek revenge against them.
Dracula: Still uttering the same nonsense, no matter, now is time to put aside your weak human side and join me in remaking this world.
Alucard: Dracula, in the name of my mother, I will defeat you again! Alucard and his father battle and Alucard applies the finishing blow with the Gurthang.
Alucard: Go back whence you came! Trouble the soul of my mother no more!
Dracula: H... How? How is it that I've been so defeated?
Alucard: You have been doomed ever since you lost the ability to love.
Dracula: Ah, sarcasm, "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the world and loses his own soul?" Matthew 16, 26 I believe.
Alucard: ... ...
Dracula: Tell me what... What were Lisa's last words?
Alucard: She said: "Do not hate humans, and if you cannot live with them, at least seek them no harm, for theirs is already a hard lot." She also said to tell you that she would love you for all eternity.
Dracula: Lisa, forgive me, farewell my son. After those words, Dracula faded once again and the castle began to crumble. A minute after they had escaped the crumbling ruins, a beam of purity hit the castle to utterly destroy it. So was the end of Castlevania, after 800 years of servitude to Dracula. Now that the menace of his father was finally over, Alucard decided that he should disappear from the face of the world. While crossing the woods to reach his tomb, he saw a quite familiar castle on his left...
Alucard: How, How can Castlevania still stand? It is directly linked to my father and he is finally dead for good! ... But Castlevania stands before my very eyes... So either father has tricked me, or someone else has taken over the castle. Whoever it may be, I must eliminate the ruler of this foul castle. And so he headed for the castle and starts his new quest.
