Delron stops D's horse, Marrianna in front wearing a blank look. The castle was large and brown with the face of an egyptian pharou on the front. "Castle Aunmaru, the place where Dracula almost met his end and where I recieved my power. I remember coming here to find egyptian artifacts and found instead power from a Greek artifact. Aunmaru collected items from all over the world trying to become stronger." Looking down at Marriana Delron says, "After we are married I will make this castle more presentable for our child."

Marianna begins to struggle violently. "I see my spell is starting to where off." Delron looks deep into her eyes as they begin to glow forcing Marrianna to calm down. Delron loses strenth almost dropping his hostage. "The candle was so much easier than calming her will." Delron said heavily as he walks into the castle.

D runs as hard as he can trying to reach Aunmaru before it was too late. D knew that running wouldn't get him very far but he had to make due with what he had. Stopping to catch his breath D look to his left seeing a large deer grazing. Inspired D carefully approaches him to gain his trust. After getting aquainted D gets on and continues toward the castle.

Night falls as Delron is in a different tux wearing a blue tie. An old man wearing a black ceremonial robe is standing next to him holding a bible. Marrianna wearing a silver wedding dress walks down the red carpet wearing the same blank stare. As soon as Marianna reaches the end Delron takes his place by her side. The priest steps forward . "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here tonight on this joyous occasion..." The priest continues on until "If anyone should have any reason why these two should not be married speak now or forever hold your peace."

D crashes throught the door drawing his sword to strike Delron. Delron spreads his wings and escapes as the priest dissapears. D runs up the wall giving himself some air and charges. Delron easily dodges then slams into D knocking him into the next room. Both land hard on the castle floor sliding to different ends. D stands staring at Delron with deep fury. "Release Marrianna now." D commanded.

Delron stares deep in his oppoents eye and smiles."I see."

"What?" D snapped looking back at his opponent.

"I see you fell in love with my bride. How cute."

Anger rose in D as he screamed."She'll never be your bride. I'll make sure of that." D shot back.

Delron let out a cruel laugh."You falling in love. The mysterious D and son of Dracula." D's eyes widend as Delron revealed who he was. "I knew it. The Sphinx has been giving me visions of you. It wasn't that hard to figure it out. A pity how you finally found love and now you are going to die."

"Wrong!" D says heroicly. "Now that I have found love I refuse death." D charges his blade aimed at Delrons heart.

Delrons eyes glow dark blue as he lifts his left hand releasing energy knocking D back into the wall. Delron holds D there attempting to to crush him. "I will have a powerful child and you can't stop me."

D's eyes began to glow blue as a force battles with Delron's. D floats out of the wall large fangs began to grow in his mouth as energy flow out of him pushing against Delron. The ground started to shake and the castle was falling around them. Delron was losing the battle as cracks appeared on his hands. Delron's mask fell off reveal his cracked face.On his forhead was an upside down question mark with two lines on the side and one above burned on his for head. Delron looks down at his hands seeing them breaking. His eyes widen as he shouts,"No this is my power. I will not loose it now!" Delron releases his all of his energy on D. D retaliates releasing all his energy over whelming Delron.

Delrons body shatters revealing a woman with the body of a lion, wings of an eagle, and a serpent for a tail. Her eyes open revealing a magnificent blue. With a beautiful but cold voice the creature says,"I am the Sphinx and I am free to destroy this world."
