"Okay, now." Richter pulls a lever.
ELEVATOR ACTIVATED the in-game message says.
"Now that I got the elevator working, time to find out what that yellow orb was." He muses to himself. He walks to the elevator. The Soul of Wolf relic is waiting for him.
"My last experience with a relic was NOT good. Logic says this one shouldn't be good either."
He squeezes the orb anyway. Richter notices that he's getting extremely hairy.
"Crap."
He twists and contorts until he shrunk down into a blue-furred wolf. He shakes off his oversized clothes. He was about scream and panic about his transformation, but he stopped mid-scream.
"I think... I like being naked." It was quite breezy in the Outer Wall. Richter thinks about what he's going to do next since he had turned into a wolf. What was he going to tell Maria? What was he going to tell his wife, Anetta? Will he be stuck like this for the rest of his life? Will the next generation of Dracula-slaying Belmonts be blue, furry puppies? (Eww, don't think about that last question closely)
Richter stops thinking about his fate and is irritated by an itchy ear. He tries to remember what dogs usually do to get rid of an itch when they don't have hands.
"Oh yeah... That feels GOOOOOOOD..." He has head tilted for his hind leg to get the most scratch effectiveness. He just barely noticed that his tail was wagging. He looks at his tail. He sniffs his ass. He realizes something very great and important.
"MY GOD! My butt smells like a bed of roses!" Richter realized why dogs sniff each others' ass.
He wonders what else to do next. He walks away to go find a flea man to eat.
Even as a human, Richter always wanted to eat a flea man.
(LATER)
Maria is awaiting Alucard in the clock room so they can have their meeting. Alucard does come in but with something that she didn't expect.
"Alucard, is that a dog? I never knew you had a pet." Alucard has Richter on a leash. Richter is panting happily.
"Maria, this is..." Alucard gestures towards Richter but he didn't really get the words out. Richter snaps the leash out of his hand and runs towards Maria. He rubs his head against her hip (Wolves are huge. Dogs can only reach to your knees).
"This is a very happy dog, aren't you pookiepoo?" Maria finishes the sentence for him.
"Pookiepoo?" Alucard thought that she's talking to him. He sees that Maria's actually baby-talking Richter. "I knew that..."
Richter is enjoying the head rubs and the ear scratches he's getting.
"Anyway, that wolf you are currently snuggling with affection is truly Richter."
She stops snuggling him affection. Richter is sad. "Alucard... is he a... Werewolf?"
"None of the sort. Belmont has merely discovered a relic with... unusual properties. I'm not certain of... a..." He is distracted by looking at Richter. Richter is licking his balls. "Of.. way... getting him... back... Yeah... Dammit. If he doesn't stop doing that, he's getting neutered."
"Agreed!"
Richter doesn't.
"To the vet with you!" Maria grabs the leash and drags Richter.
"Yeah! Screw Castlevania and my dad!" Alucard goes with Maria. She goes on to tell him how Richter was humping her leg. Richter is whining pitifully.
"No! I had no control over myself! Please, not that!"
To humans and half vampires, it sounded only like dog whining.
And that's why Richter wasn't allowed to have the Soul of Wolf relic. Even if he didn't get neutered, Castlevania still couldn't go on like it's supposed to. The Belmont line would be wolves and stuff. Wolves don't have thumbs to wield the Vampire Killer, so hence Dracula has no one to stop him. But what about Alucard, you say? He went to Cancun and stole some Arikado dude's ID. He now lives under a fake name. Remember kids, listen to uncle Alucard about food safety. Don't listen to him about tax evasion and identity fraud.
Luckily, and I do mean I felt guilty, Richter managed to turn himself human and run away from Alucard and Maria.
"MUST! KEEP! RUNNING!"
Alucard tried to chase him but he remembered he was the Playstation version.
"Accursed inability to run at speeds more than five miles per hour!"
