Let's check up on the half human heir, shall we? Anyway, this is a
somewhat serious attempt to give my take on if Alucard inherited the
castle... but how some people and demons react to things, and the
personalities given to some characters make it humorous.... and expect off
the wall guests to show up later...
Chapter one: Conditions......
"NO! I REFUSE TO CLAIM THE CASTLE!!!! IT'S AN EVIL PLACE, AND SHOULDN'T EXIST!!!!!!!"
"PLEASE!!!!!"
"It's Alucard's choice.." Maria told Gaibon.
Alucard was about to forget the whole thing, and go back into what was supposed to be an eternal sleep, when Gaibon did the absolute LAST thing ANYONE would expect.... he sat down and cried.....
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Alucard covered his ears from the shrill sound. Maria, despite her age, also thought it was loud.
'AUGH!!!!!!!!! MY EARS!!!!!!!!!!!!'
Alucard, being part vampire, had heightened senses.... meaning the wailing was hurting his ears badly.
"I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
'What an immature demon..' both Alucard and Maria thought.
'SHUT! UP!!!!!!!!' Alucard thought to himself.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!"
"FINE, I'LL CLAIM THE CASTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Gaibon quit crying, and hugged Alucard, unwittingly crushing his ribs. Alucard's face turned blue. Although his body would recover, and quickly, he was suffocating from the hug.
"Oxygen...darkness...can't...breathe!!!!!!!"
Gaibon got the point.
"Oops..."
He let go off Alucard, who caught his breath.
"I'll claim the castle... but there are conditions....and there are going to be changes made... And if you hug me again, I'm not going to even consider claiming the castle...."
Then Gaibon lowered his arms.
"Maria, it's your choice if you wish to come along..."
"...No....I'm old, and I wouldn't be able to make the trip..."
Alucard had made the trip down the hallways leading into the heart of Castlevania before, but he never thought he'd see the day the monsters were on friendly terms with him...
"Master Alucard, good to see you again..."
Alucard recognized the voice. It was the Master Librarian.
"It's good to see you too, old one..."
"I heard you inherited the castle.... and I thought you wouldn't accept it..."
"I wasn't going to until Gaibon 'convinced' me...." Alucard replied as he glared at Gaibon.
"I already said I was sorry.... I didn't know my crying hurt your ears...."
The Librarian understood what Alucard meant.
"He's actually rather young as far as demons go..."
Alucard stared at Gaibon.
"If he's YOUNG, then I'm lucky he wasn't an adult..."
"I also said I was sorry about the hug... I don't know my own strength..."
The Librarian chuckled.
"Well, I don't think you'll get any more trouble from any of the monsters here.... Death is rather upset though, and we haven't seen him since he learned you were the only heir... And Camilla was rather distraught at learning the attempt to resurrect Dracula failed to bring him back to life..."
"So it seems people have not forgotten his terror this time..."
"All of the servants are actually looking forward to you taking over..."
"I know why..."
"Since you shall take command, I should explain some things that you weren't informed of...."
"The library then?"
"Yes... It's a rather well kept secret.. so we'd better ensure privacy..."
Alucard had thought to bring a chair to the Master Librarian's room. He placed it, and sat down.
"I'm sure you know the castle is a creature of Chaos..."
"And that was one of the reasons I didn't wish to claim my inheritance at first..."
Then the Master Librarian laid out castle maps made over the centuries. Alucard examined them.
"These are all maps of this castle?"
"Yes.. the castle tends to keep to certain basics, but it changes every time... To reflect the form desired by the lord of the castle.... However, that's not all there is to explain...."
Then the Master Librarian took out an old text with notes about the castle written on it. Alucard looked over the notes.
"The castle is...a linking point of other worlds?"
"Yes... Dimensions is a modern term... Well.. from one dimension the castle links to...."
Alucard then sat there and thought.
"Hmm... It explains a few things that have plagued me...."
Alucard thought about it.
"Well...most of the demons seem rather passive unless guided by an evil force... I will accept the title of lord of the castle.. but as I told Gaibon, there are going to be changes..."
Meanwhile, some distance from the castle, a woman in red clothes with brown hair, and a cloaked figure with a scythe looked at the once feared castle.
"This is an outrage! That bastard child of Dracula has no right to rule the castle!" The woman shouted.
"True, Camilla, but contracts and wills Renon provides are almost completely free of loopholes... and if we return to try to overthrow him, we'll be in the same position as..."
Then Death's face seemed to smile.
"I know how to get rid of him..."
Camilla understood, and smiled herself.
"It's perfect...Shaft couldn't think of a better plan...."
Then the dark priest in question walked up.
"Perhaps....let's just go and manipulate our next victim..."
In an inn in the village below the mountains, a young man with a whip on his side was having a drink, when several villages burst in, carrying an injured woman.
"THE CASTLE!!!!!!! IT'S BACK!!!!!!!! CASTLEVANIA IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed.
The man with the whip paid the tab, and left. Reinhardt was determined to put an end to the lord of the castle....

Uh-oh... Have the three sealed Alucard's fate?
