"You shall not Defile Mother Nature!"


I open my eyes to find myself and other three at the Basement, filled with skulls and dead flesh. That has to be what it looks like inside the Huge Castle of Dracula, known as Dracula. I see the three of them alive. Stale Arc and Gadis Dovestar, both sharing the yellow hair but different shades, thus brothers, and also students of Master Peele, with hair grayish since he is an elder sage.

Stale wields a Whip, used to kill Vampires, while Gadis carries the Long Majestic Sword. It is not really broad, but really majestic because of the feathery wings on the crossguard. The blessed sword works wonders against demons and sinners. Master Peele, being a Sage, uses Magic Spells and weapons. Think of him as Juste Belmont, but with one addition of not restricted to belmonts Sub Weapons. I on the other hand, go druidic, and I am trained in Archery.

We're lucky to be alive from the longest Drop, but Peele's Gliding Spell stops the fall.

"Well? Where are we?" asked Gadis,

"The Catacombs." answered Stale, tightening his Chain Whip. "I can smell the foul scent of the dead." he finds our Master Peele on the ground. "Sensei." he runs up and brings him to his feet.

"I'm fine, Lad. I'm fine." assured by Master Peele, "I may be old, but my Injuries will always heal off."

"You always say that." Gadis worried,

"It's his Unique Powers." explained Stale, "He can regenerate in a very fast rate. It takes about 10 seconds before each wounds goes away."

"Last thing we Remember. This Lady Camilla resurrected Dracula." I reminded, "We came too late."

"And now my eldest Sister." growled Peele, "She might be captured. Gadis, Stale. We need to stick together. We don't know what dangers awaits in this new castle."

"Fine by us." Gadis smirked, cracking his knuckles, "There has to be a Map to the Same Layout."

"It's not gonna be the same." Stale replied, "Like I said, each and every century Count Dracula rises, his Large Castle will change. Peele is right. We gotta stick together."

I was going to join up, but Stale turned around with his stop sign hand raised. "Where do you think you're going?"

"To help against Dracula."

"Dilly." Peele said with a stern and strict look, "I said, Stale and Gadis. You are not needed."

"Wha– Are you serious?" I took backsteps from him, "I have studied this Layout. You shouldn't just leave me here without a Map."

"We are not Debating, Dilly." said Peele,

"I don't even know why you keep following us." Stale said, crossing his arms,

"Because it is the Castle of Dracula. You are aware of the danger that Count created." I explained to him, "Therefore, we all should start cooperating. Is it not our mission to destroy Dracula at all costs?"

"Perhaps." said Peele, "But we can't trust you here with us. You disobey direct orders, when I told you not to return to the town."

"As I already said, I did it to prevent further civilian casualties!" I raised my fists in defense, "I cannot just let the Army of Darkness do this."

"Let's not forget." Gadis added, "Using Magic Spells without Permission from Stale or our Master Peele. Going AWOL on us to meet with the Strangers."

"Those Strangers are Friends." I replied, "They are my Friendship. And Furthermore, I don't want those People to succumb to death."

"That is not our Concern." Peele said, "The only matter is to follow the Rules, no matter what. Now, you are going to find the way out of the castle. Do not return until further notice."

"And you expect me to do what you ask?" I raise my Bow and Arrow, "While some Animals are Held Hostage? I'm coming with you, whether you like it or not."

"I am highly afraid you are going to say that." Peele sighed, opening the Magic Scroll and reads it out loud in a Heart Beep, "Sleep Mist!" Light-Gray Ray zaps, blasting the same color Smoke at my Area before I get closer, and I saw the Scroll reduce to ashes. The scent is making me tired, and I can only move three steps before I slump to the ground, passing out.


I woke up ten minutes later… My knee and arms are sore when I got up, as if I had a Rocky Bed. The Catacombs aren't meant for Sleeping, since the grounds and platforms are rocky stone. I'll at least brush off the dirt from my head, and robes. I have to be in the same place.

I still have my own Elven Bow and a Quiver full of Arrows, with a Staff used for Druidic Spells. With power of the Plants, Beasts, and the Weather, I made one fateful choice.

"Sorry Stain, Gadis, sensei. But I still want to take on Dracula and his minions." I begin walking down, "For all living faunas and floras, this is my mission. If I must fight through you three, so be it."

I begin climbing down the Rocky Floor. And I've begun using my Arrows to pick out each Live Skeletons trying to close in. Throwing their own Bones at me. But with my Arrows Steel-Tipped, it chopped through the Bones, making it crumble to pieces.

Those Hearts dropped out of the Torches will be sufficient for my Arrows since I have plenty. I continue to keep my Supply at Max, while shooting more of the Skeletons

I managed to reach the very bottom, and find one of the Magic Orbs. It's Red, and Fiery. But when I reach the bottom, there is a Statue of the Nature's Animal. It looks like a Deer with Antlers. A Reindeer. I feel some Telepathy reaching my mind.

"I am the Argent Reindeer, Lady Kerala." she introduced, "Count Dracula has imprisoned us Sacred Animals, weakening Nature's Power. Defeating him will free all Twelve of us. For now, I will lend you my Magic Powers to shift into the Reindeer of Flames, use it to set your Enemies ablaze."

After feeling the magic power entering my body, I can now Shapeshift into the first Animal. Now a Silverly White Deer, but I still have my Green-Brown Vest around me. My Hooves on Fire. Each stomp blasting Jet Geysers of Flames. When I gallop, I leave trails of hot fires. I can do the Flaming Dash attack while in Midair. My jumping is even greater.

"Seek out my Friend, the Viridis Saurian Warrior, Drithrut. His agility and strength may help you."

I exit and enter the Hallway with Cubish Columns for support, and Roman Columns. I think this will be a great power to use. I'll find all the Sacred Animals and use its powers to reach and defeat Dracula. But that means Stale, Gadus, and Peele. If this has to happen, I will do it.
