Chapter 8: Bloody Tears.

The crypt, fortress Aliba. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

They slew the monsters. Henry felt sick. His friend looked into the beyond. He was forced to kill his own brother. William got infested. That turned him into a demon. Now he could rest. Sylvia had to purify this Hellhole. Only the three vampires were left among the living undead. He drew sweat of his brow. Ludwig held his sword upright. “So let it be.” The wolf snarled. The red lips and fangs got exposed. Daniela made the sign of the cross. The bat flapped about. Henry gathered. He touched the neck. One of them bit him. Michael blocked with the shield. He killed the filth before they might turn him. The fight was on. Michael pulled the crossbow. The swarm burst into fire. The bat vampire shrieked. “In the name of God!” Sylvia exclaimed. The grizzly wolf went for the kill. Henry would die to protect them. The sisters held the key to salvation. Daniela faced the baron. She was brave. The hammer almost crushed his blade. Henry tried to behead the vampire. The wolf dodged his effort. Sylvia hurled the holy water. The creature howled. Henry rammed his sword through the heart. They watched her burn. Now he might feel remorse. The body crumbled into dust. The bat attacked. “For Warakiya!” Henry roared. He hid behind the shield. They would purify this nest of the plague.

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The ritual was a success. The lady of the crypt would live again. “ I condemn thee to an eternity lusting for human blood.” The Dark Lord gave the last command. “So shall it be.” The queen descended from both the Dragon and the Devastator. “I am yours!” She spread her caped arms wide. The lady got the privilege. “Who arth thy?” The order’s torches lit the crypt. They knelt about her tomb. “The order of Shadow.” She was amused. The circle figured how to please her lust. “I give myself to you.” The lady, depending by her dress and demeanours, shookherred-blondehair coquettishly. “My name is Ruth.” The queen touched her bride.

The caves, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The white man-wolfgot ahead of the group. Irissent Adam and Charles to scout.She would be ready. She wouldnot be the weak link. The man-beast peoplewere in need of their queen. She extendedthe claws. Iris hadn’t been coroneted. The tunnel led down into the mountain. Claudia and Cedric shot at the bats. The gunner made a glide. She charged to knock the trap. Anna threw her hair. The wolf got impressed. She knew that Whisp defeated the necromancer. The little witch struck with the whip. Iris hoped she would learn to trust her. The trap clicked in place. Annahad to crush it. The priest made the sign of the cross. They warned about that.

The spikes were poisonous. Julius shuddered. He couldn’t break down. The bats squeaked. Julius threw the vial into the air. The wave got burned to ashes. The priest gripped his sword. The Lord was with them. The wolves had crushed the skeletons. “Then let us have a look.” Anna gave them the map and compass. The man-wolveshad gathered around their leader. The princess chose the tunnel. She sent her folks in front. Julius was unsure. They passed other openings. He was afraid of the order. Anna prepared the crossbow. She was safe. Succubus almost took her. Julius reached for the crucifix. He consolidated his strength to might reach above the pond. “Wait for us!” Thomas called. He and Marina almost got behind. Iris beheld the naiad.“I thought they were the daughters of river.” She let it go. “They are.” The priest explained. “Though the water is polluted.” The princess shrugged. They reached another tunnel. This was the depth of the city. “Get behind!” Thomas had noticed. The vent released a toxic gas. Julius made the sign of the cross. “Be more careful!” Anna shrieked. She tugged at the end of her braid. “They almost got us.” Thomas looked pale. The knight retained his true form. “Wait a moment.” Anna breathed. “Then we can rush.” Marina moved in front. “Let me try to stop them.” She afforded. Marina touched the bloodwatch. He disliked her weapons. “Right.” Anna got the time stop. “You shouldn’t tamper with the flow of time.” Torah got Sonya’s item. The bats cut the argument. Julius threw the Shuriken. He recognized that sound. The skeleton men pushed throughto throw bones. They got hurt. “My liege!” Claudia threw herself beforethe princess. “Look out!” Thomas fired a boom. Marina released the fairies. “Curse the lot.” The watcher channelled electricity. Julius hurled the three vials. The zombies stenched. This must be how Jonathan Harker felt in 1897. He put that aside. Julius brandished with the fireball sword. The girl charged to hit the dead. She was more than an actress. Anna danced to throw projectiles. The priest hit the candles. Marina made a glide to unleash the pages. The priest removed the head. Thomas got in front. They left the niches. Julius threw the dagger forward. The dead collapsed. The watcher swooped. Julius moved. His arms were on fire. The little witch struck with the “Blood pain” to create icicles. She froze the bats. The skeleton hit her. Anna danced to cause the chain lightning. The dead-man staggered behind. Julius sighed. The zombies were hungry. He got the sword. ”For Maxim!” The sword storm laid them to rest. The watchers channelled. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas used the lance to double jump. The blast pierced them. Anna gave a hand. “Thanks.” Thomas sighed. The priest dusted off his cape. He knew she had feelings for him. He cherished the friendship. That was a sin. Julius wouldn’t commit heresy. “Let us be gone.” He told. “The are waiting.” Thomas took the gems. They became rounds of ammo. Anna got her share. The little witch hit the candles. Thomas fired the triple shot. The shot of green energy tore them to shreds. Julius held the crucifix. “Strange.” Thomas frowned. “I didn’t mean it.” He muttered. “You are the chosen one.” Julius explained. They exchanged glances. “Christian knows much lore.” They were his kin. “Edward told me.” Anna led down the vent passage. They were alone. “The blue wolf pendant proved your worth.” Thomas shrugged. “You don’t know.” Julius acknowledged. “I see.” “Come on.” Thomas encouraged. “We have to go.” Julius figured. They dashed. Julius reached the safe spot. The knight reloaded the rifle. Julius hit the candle. The rosary cleansed the cave. “Great is the mystery of faith.” They had to hurry. Julius ran. The vent opened before they reached the next spot. They survived. The gas was terrible. “This is the Cyclon-B!” Julius recognized the Nazi’s stench. “Do not inhale!” Thomas howled. There was a fight ahead. “Wait.” Thomas growled. “I know.” Julius wished to help. The tunnel was clear. The vents closed. They ran for the cave. The red knights fired. Thomas cast the triple shot. He got charged. Thomas received more power. “Let it be.” The knight dashed. They got away. Marina stabbed. Julius pulled together. Anna used the war force. The zombies crawled. This was a crossroad. The dead came from the left. Julius struck. He threw daggers forward. The watchers kept up. Julius hurled the enflamed axe. That broke on impact. They burned. The priest faced the dead. Iris and Cedric tore them apart. He got no time. Anna was thrown away. The witch cast the fireballs. Thomas reloaded with cross bullets. The shot cleared the area. Julius ran forward. He knew the knights would gather. Julius dropped the book. The homing balls chased and destroyed. He didn’t wait. Julius met them in battle. They were trained warriors. The shooters reloaded. He got the crucifix. Thomas fired a boom. The elf got shot. He turned to challenge the archers. Marina cast the flame spell. The bats hit the floor. They took the coins. The wolves gathered to the princess. “Follow me!” She reached another chamber. Julius looked about. The cave was circular. “Wait!” He could see beyond the obvious. “Come on.” Iris called. Julius frowned. There was something strange. “We re-join at the hidden docks.” The wolf led her people into the caves. His friends remained behind. “Then let it be.” They got work to do. The girl sat on the floor. She got surrounded by the high stacks of books. “Who are you?” Thomas asked. The girl looked up through heavy glasses. “Hush.” She bent over the book. “My name is Mattie Rose.” The brunette was seven years old. “You are a school girl.” Thomas breathed. “Let us fix it.” Anna knelt beside her. “I have to figure.” Mattie insisted. “The containers must be replaced.” Julius inspected the tablets. He recognized the runes. “This is the sun and moon.” He stepped on the square. “The books are the key.” The dark-breed brought a container. “That is a ruse.” Anna was sure. “The sapphire is cold.” Marina touched. “This is a piece of my gem.”

This was a puzzle. Mattie hadexplained. “I might collect the pieces.” Thomasgave his word. “Leave it.” He said. “She is in greater need then either of us.” Marina folded her arms. He got to work. “You have to solve it.” Mattie said. “So let it be.” Julius made the sign of the cross. He put the blue stone on the moon tablet. Thomas observed. The stone awoke. The container was frozen. Anna gasped. The music gave rest. Thomas inhaled. The cold was kept in place. “Strange.” The priest occupied the other side. “What do you think?” Julius asked. The priest looked concerned. “The eye of the storm.” The gem represented lightning. “Hurry.” He told. “Bring me the stone.” Anna was quick in action. They put the gem in place. Thomas relaxed. That was a rare item. The container was charged with electricity. The tone was a relief. “Jesus!” He touched the crucifix. They returned to the sun engraving. The priest had to ask. Thomas knew the answer. “Marina.” Hewouldn’t force her. “You mustlend me the shard.” The witch reproached. “Give you the pendant?” Shehid the necklace. “For a moment only.” The knight met her gaze. She never blinked. The priest disliked the situation. “What is it?” Anna licked her lips. The priest was right. There was something wrong about this.

The cave was so cold. Anna felt the magic. They must have the red gem. “This is a trick.” Marina accused. “You only want it for yourself.” Julius was tired. “I dare not try to hold it.” The priest looked haunted. Anna wished to sooth him. “Blasted.” Thomas growled. “To hunt the night.” That was Leon’s oath. “There is another.” Marina tightened her grasp. “Take it.” She discarded the necklace. Anna put the gem in the goblet. The knight put it in place. “Beware.” Julius put the pendant into her hands. “Of the power.” The gem shone like the sun. The warmth was great. Anna recognized the music. “Rise like the Phoenix.” She breathed. Her friends looked relieved. Marina frowned. They went to check the final tablet. “This must be the wave.” Julius sighed. They used the blue stone. Anna felt at a loss. The priest broke from the reverie. “The piece is an aquamarine.” Anna told. “The Lord is with us.” The girl gave it to her. “That is enough.” The priest made the sign of the cross. “Stronger we are.” Anna replaced the gemstone. “In the name of the Lord.” That was the perfect storm. She felt better as the wind cleansed the cavern. “The task is complete.” Anna listened to the music. “The mermaid singing.” The gunner tried to hide the giggle. “Sorry.” Anna couldn’t help it.

The water hit the floor. Marina bent to drink. That was cool and fresh. The witch might relax. The stream cleansed her being. Marina sighed. The priest touched her shoulder. She looked up into his face. “There is a gift for you.” The fifth container appeared at the centre. Marina had to look. “Mother of river.” She found the red and blue gems. Marina rejoiced. She danced before picking the pieces. Thomas shrugged. “They are mine.” She deserved this price. “Alright.” Julius returned to check on Mattie. She kept soquiet. The book slid from her lap. The child stared into space. She sighed. Marina frowned. There was such ease. “I am free.” Her face shone. “I can go home.” Thomas helped her to stand. The friends had gathered. Mattie beamed. A shaft of sunlight illuminated her stature. “Thanks. Oh thank you. The light. The blessed light.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Rest in peace.” He told. “The Lord is with you.” She vanished into the shaft. “We should continue.” Marina noticed the wall was made of ice. Julius approached. “Leave it to me.” She threw the power. “That is not the way.” The priest spoke in a low voice. “Show me.” The barrier was left standing. “That rests with the Lord.” Marina folded her arms. “I am waiting.” She challenged. Julius held the crucifix.

Town of Aliba, Warakiya. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The fortress collapsed. Daniela watched it burn. The barongot stamped out. She sighed. Daniela felt so weary. The dwarf gave her support. Virginia flew about in circles. Tholin had survived his injuries. Sylvia was talking with the priest and Unicore. “Thank you both.” Henry and Michael kept guard over the captives. The hunterwas unsure if she should be relieved or not. The priest insisted to rescue even his servants. The undead were put to rest. That left plenty of the red knights. Most of them where living beings. She made another sigh. What were they to do? Some people lived in the town. That hardly could count as a crime. She shook her head. The fox and lizard creatures where evil. Or where they? “They fight for what they believe in.” Earendil had joined with them. Daniela knew the Unicorn was right. She better talk with Tholin. He was the chieftain. Virginia would support his decision. Whatever that might be. Earendil led his family into battle. He already paid the price. “Forgive us.” Daniela inhaled. The unicorn seemed to figure. “Henry put the killer to justice.” He told. “He deserves to decide.” Earendil didn’t look happy. “Right.” Daniela might support. Such bloodshed wasn’t his style. Daniela wondered about her own reaction. That had to wait.

The caves, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The battle-droids marched fromthe concealed corridor. “They are behind us!” Cedric cried. Iris didn’t turn. “Roger, Roger.” She could smell their approach. “The super battle-droids!” The man-wolf morphed into his true form. She also changed shape. They got a better chance. The bats dashed. This was an ambush. “Clear them away.” The group-leader demanded. “Roger, Roger.” The droids opened fire. The bats squeaked for blood. “For Karack Warn!” Iris got her own power. She released the energy. The plasma shot them in a row. “Alright!” The wolf snarled. They kept on marching. “We are in trouble.” They got to do something.

The wall was made of ice. “What do you suggest?” She challenged. Julius had no answer. This had to work. “Lend me the bottle.” He requested. Thomas shrugged. The knight retrieved from his backpack. Julius opened the jar. “So let it be.” He returned to the blue container. The goblet burned cold. “Believe.” His friends exchanged glances. “You men of little faith.” Marina screamed. The priest thenreached into the fire. Julius retrieved the bottle. “Alright.” The knight smirked. “That is safe.” Julius exhaled. He returned to the barrier. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost.” Julius dropped the flame. The wall melted like a curtain of pearl and moonlight. “That is beautiful.” Anna admired. The priest acknowledged. He got to hunt. “Christian told the legend.” Julius unsheathed the sword. They got to fight. The bats swooped. Marina cast the flame spell. The dead were alive! They broke the floor. Anna made a meteor dash. She had to force-knock the monsters. Julius threw tripled vials. The bats burned. Thomas pulled her away. He twirled with the lance before releasing the triple shot. Marina cast the cold spell. She released the fairies. The skeleton threw bones. The fairies saved them. Julius struck. “Preserve me!” Anna caused chain lightning. “Please.” Julius threw the daggers forward. The people got trapped in the ice. The dead grabbed him. The priest presented his crucifix. Anna hit the candles. She picked the items. Julius stamped the undead. “Twisted!” Thomas fired around. He used the wood bullets. Julius took the gems. They restored the force. Thomas reloaded with silver ammo. “Dracula is alive. The dreams told the truth. “I refilled the bottles.” Marina explained. “Give them to me.” Thomas told. “They are my property.” The witch hid her mouth. She retrieved the jars. “That is alright.” Anna remarked. “Look out!” The watcher channelled electricity. Anna threw the daggers. They went home. The watcher burned. “Look out!” Thomas howled. The watcher got her. Julius pulled her away. The eyeball channelled. “Preserve us!” The zombies pushed through. He brandished the sword. The priest made a row of fireballs to fall down. They got to defeat the watchers. Thomas challenged the zombies. The watcher swooped. “Yeah!” Anna force kicked the monster. The corpses tore at her clothing. “Jesus!” Julius presented the crucifix. His image burned above. “ Bone to ashes. Dust to dust.” Anna released thecircle of fireballs. The zombies couldn’t resist. “God with us!” They were victorious. “Beware!” The spikes clicked in place. Anna dashed. She broke the trap. The skeletons grabbed her. Anna screamed. She forced knocked the dead. Julius hit the candles. He took the morning-star. “Bless me.” The lightning struck down. That reforged the fireball sword.Julius made the sign of the cross. “Glory be You.” Desmond would be proud. “Our Father in Heaven.” He met Dracula in 1666. The priest launched himself upon the skeletons. Marina and Thomas fought back-to-back. “Stronger we are!” Anna licked her lips. “In the name of the Lord!” She pulled the trigger. Thomas howled. The silver went home. “Preserve us from evil.” Julius breathed. His features got lit up by the thunder sword. Julius struck. The watcher channelled. Thomas fired a boom. The eyeball burned on impact. “Come to my aid!” Marina conjured the fairies. The priest threw the axe. The weapon split in three. Marina got thrown on the floor. The knight hung up his firearm. He charged the gauntlets. Julius ran for the witch. Marina got up to cast the spell. The watcher burst to pieces. Thomas growled. The triple shot closed the combat. “Alright.” Anna had reloaded the crossbow. “Lead the way.” The priest acknowledged. She would fight the righteous battle. “Fine.” Thomas approved. She exposed her body. Julius sighed. He kept the lamp. They took the coins and gems. Anna ate the chicken. “Give me strength.” The cave was closed. “Dark water.” Marina ran through the spell book. She wouldn’t find the spell. Shanoa used the glyphs. That was in 1810. Julius wished he retained the map and compass. The blue flame would be of no use. This was the hard stone. Julius touched the wall. “Strange.” The rock got cracked. Both Simon and Richter Belmont used the explosives to explore the demon castle Dracula. “We don’t have a bomb.” Anna told. “We should return to the crossroad.” Marina picked upon the whip. “We should never have broken the company.” Julius was unsure. He could see beyond the obvious. This was the place. “Wait a moment.” The knight went in front. “What is it?” Anna asked. He smiled. “The wall.” He explained. “Burn down the mission.” Marina licked her lips. “Trust me.” Thomas had made the promise. “I know what I do.” Julius touched the crucifix. The knight put the wild rose and garlic before the barricade. “Fire in the hall!” They ran. Julius knew about the arsenal. The explosion sent him on his belly. The nayad leaped atop. She used her body as a shield before the impact. Julius got up. She got knocked out. “Glory be You.” He felt relieved. “Our Father in Heaven.” She kept breathing. “Where are you?” Anna emerged from the rubble. “That was fine.” Thomas shook his fur. “Marina lives.” He checked her pulse. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas threw the garlic. There was another band of skeletons. Julius got confused. “Go on!” Anna called. “Let me help her.” Julius relaxed. “Alright.” The priest rejoined the combat. He didn’t get far. The bat swarm squeaked for blood. “Good Lord in Heaven!” Julius presented the crucifix. They got burned. He took the crystals. Thomas twirled with the lance. The weapon blazed. Julius struck with the sword. Thebat swarm approached. He defended with his arms on fire. The priest opened the book. The fireballs chased and destroyed. He got the gems. Some skeletons left the band. Julius hadn’t noticed. They grabbed him. The bonehead punched him. Julius groaned. “Time out.” The groupmight kill him. “The chill of the grave.” His death would grant so much power. “Watch me.” Anna danced. She force-knocked the lot.

That was impressive. Thomas smirked. “You are quite a girl.” He admitted. Anna blew a kiss. He shrugged. Thomas had to support the leader. The little witch helped him to get up. Julius used the laurels for healing. The priest didn’t need his help. “Let your will be done.” He knelt by their friend. They might continue. The end of the hall was occupied by a mirror. “Little mirror on the wall, who is the greatest hunter of them all.” He teased. Thomas sighed. He got serious. “Kneel before the round gate to be taken to another place.” The priest recited Juste’s statement. “Alright.” The girls kept behind. Thomas beheld the gate. “There is no timer.” Marina touched the surface. “This is not water.” She frowned. “Come.” Julius touched the crucifix. “This is not the inverted castle.” That was true. “Take my hand.” The priest told. Anna touched his left hand. “I believe in you.” Thomas snarled. “Sure.” He touched his shoulder. Thomas was unsure about the necessity. She held his other hand. Julius knelt. “Let it be.” The group was removed. Thomascalled to the Lord. “Hear the words of the Lord.” Anna was talking. The knight exhaled. This would be alright. They flickered. “This is for my tribe.”Thomas howled his challenge. They had to reach that other place.

Treasury room, hidden docks. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

They got up. “Stronger we are in the name of the Lord.” Anna proclaimed. They passed through the mirror. She beheld the cave. “That is an ice wall.” Thomas remarked. The cave was frozen. Anna touched the crucifix. The vegetation grew upon the walls. Thomas got the bottle. The priest was the guide. “There might be monsters inhere.” Anna shuddered. The icicles fell from the ceiling. “Preserve us.” Julius prayed. “Alright.” Anna sighed. That might kill them. Anna lookedpale. The priest was no better. She inhaled. Thomas dropped the fire. The ice melted. “We must continue.” The treasure was stacked with crates and boxes. “I remember the warehouse.” Anna whispered. She licked her lips. “The monstrosity is dead.” Anna prayed. “Tell me.” Marina brandished with her whip. “Alright.” Anna disliked that item. That wasn’t the Vampire Killer. “Drop it.” Julius said. “You should return to pick the blue fire.” She shrugged. “I hope you know what you do.” Anna bit her lip. “Yes.” Julius retorted. “Me to.” The priest presented the crucifix. “Let it be.” The witchpicked the knife. “Burn down the mission.” The knight replied. The Gypsy giggled. She couldn’t help it. “Have fun.” Marinacrackedwith her whip beforethey vanished.

The caves, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

They returned to the ice cave. “Dark ocean world!” Marina cursed. “The dead men walking.” The little witch cast the flame spell. The monsters got trapped within the ice. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas howled in anger. “Invading spooks!” He reloaded the rifle. “You are not my tribe!” The nayad recognized the wood bullets. “Give me the bottle.” She might sneak to the brazier. “Fetch!” Thomas reached into the backpack. The men picked her nerves. They never seemed to respect her. Never mind that now. The skeleton grabbed her. He picked her from the front. Marina shuddered. He stabbed her bosom. “Dark ocean world.” She gave him the power-gem. The fire broke the ice. Marina inhaled. She took the coins. “Blasted!” Thomas fired a boom. “Mother of river!” The little witch made a glide. She reached the brazier. “Great magic.” Marina gathered the flame. “Twisted!” The knight kept shooting. The dead had no mercy. “You have to wait for me!” Marina shouted. “Use the mirror!” Thomas reloaded with silver. “As you like it!” Marina got to bend before the mirror. “Nice.” Thomas smirked. “Drop it.” Marina got furious. She hit the floor. “Shut up!” Marina was not a pet. She was thewitch. They should show her respect. Marina threw a knives. “I am ready.” Thomas bent beside her.

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 20^th. of December 2098 A.D.

They gathered around the well. The grimoire of souls told them about this breaching point. “They went too greedy and too deep.” The thirteen members of their cell came to pay homage to the Master. “Into Hell.” They asked for the power of vengeance.” The necromancer fell into shadow. “What began in blood.” He was the ring-leader now. “Shall end with blood.” The riddles in the Darkness. They brough the human sacrifice. “Bones to ashes. Dust to dust.” The congregation grew louder. The climax was at hand. “Make up the circle.” He demanded. “The blood of the cock gives the circle life.” The ceremony was ancient. “Let the circle live.” The ointment was made from belladonna and the other herbs. “By the blood, steel, and power, I request.” The order was loyal to the memory of the fallen Dark Lord. “Hark.” He plunged into the hearth. “Open chains, bolts, and locks! There is a dead voice calling!”They began by dishonouring the bread and wine. “The sacrifice.” He marked the brow, hand and heart with the ointment and blood. “The sign of power.” He marked their white sheep. This was perfect. The circle burst into fire. “Anger, Hate and Agony.” The blue flames burned even higher. “We summon the ancient power.” They cried. “For the embodiment of suffering.” For him.

The caves, forgotten city. The 20^th of December 2098 A.D.

The water dripped from the stalagmites. Claudia howled her challenge. The pack was at war. “For Warakiya and Karack Warn!” The cry sent echoes throughout the caves. “Roger. Roger.” The battle-droids kept marching. “Leave her alone you bastards!” Charles and Adam fought side-by-side. “Follow me!” The princess shot bolts of plasma. Claudia bit together. She got her own power. “Let go!” Claudia was an Alpha she-wolf. “I am right behind you.” Claudia snarled. The battle-droids kept in a row. They didn’t belong here. “The robots are not that bright!” The corporal got in front. The pack pulled together. They got to fight.

Treasury room, hidden docks. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The riches lay in pile. Julius felt no desire. “Preserve us from the wicked One.” He felt sick. This must be the way. “We have to wait.” Anna fit within this chamber. She sat atop the pile.She blew a kiss. The girl was decorative. Hesighed. Rachel would preserve the bloodline. “Then so let it be.” Julius inhaled. “Arabian nights.” She slid to approach him. “Go in peace.” He shook his head. “Haunt me no longer.” Anna was that adorable. He had no complains. This was not right. There was a miasma of evil. Julius got dizzy. He sat down. “Original sin.” Julius might still smell her perfumes. “Forgive me.” The priest fought to control his breathing. “ Let us have a look around.” Anna’s voice broke through his line of thought. Julius made the sign of the cross. The ice held no skeletons. The room was empty. Anna found the exit. The chamber was carved fromthe stone. The door was made of wood. the bars were metal. “That might stop the Behemoth.” He unsheathed the thunder sword. “Let it be.” Anna got into a ready position. Julius hailed. The door was locked. “How typical.” Anna sighed. He touched the crucifix. “That is a waste of time.” The dancing girl got into motion. “ The key has to be here somewhere.” Julius acknowledged. This was like the “Nation of fools”. “We start by looking into the boxes.” Anna suggested. This was her department. The crates gave way. Julius had a look inside. “I dislike these things.” He muttered. The puppet was rather macabre. “Oh my God.” Julius tightened the grip. “Take cover.” Anna blinked. He didn’t have time. His ancestors found these toys after Gabriel’s fall. “We got a macabre puppet unleashed.” They were crafted by the toy maker. The thing lifted up on its own accord. The marionette swiped its dagger before unleashing a deathly summersault. Anna cast the fireballs. The thing wouldn’t burn. Julius presented the crucifix. The macabre puppets were immune to magic. They must be dismantled,limbfromlimb. Julius struck his blade. That cost a fist. “Jesus!” That was not the knife hand. Julius dodged. The gypsygirl had gathered to force-kick the toy. The macabre puppet got struck apart. The fight disturbed the crates. The dollskept rising up. They tied themselves to the wall. “Save us from the evil One!” That didn’t ease his tensions. Julius managed to sidestep. “Let it be!” He dodged the knives. Annadanced to kick the wood. The priesthad found the key. He picked it from the candle.“Good Lord!” That had to wait. The macabre puppet crashed down upon him. Julius felt like fainting.She threw herself down. “Preserve us.” Julius barely survived the attack. “Right.” Anna stole a kiss before rising up. “You be blessed.” Julius shook it off. The puppet made another summersault. He got to defend the spot. That might be difficult. “Let it be done.” Julius doused them with holy water. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” The macabre puppets rebounded. The mention of the Trinity made it much easier to breathe. “For great is the mystery of faith.” Julius believed. The priest made the sign of the cross. “Watch out!” Anna cried. “Save me!” The macabre puppets unleashed threw their knives like tiny boomerangs. “Stronger we are!” The girl made the chain lightning strike. “In the name of the Lord!” She pierced the doll with a silver bolt. She dashed to cut up the marionette. Julius got left to handle the rest. “Let it be!” He managed to blocked the assault. The bats squeaked their bloodlust. The Shuriken made him to stand. “Skull and cross bones.” The panel slid aside. The gladiators wore high Roman helmets and decorated chest-plates. Julius made the sign of the cross. The Italian sportsmen aimed their weapons. Julius made a sidestep. The crossbow arrows hit was he stood. “Lord!” The bolts got buried in the treasure. No matter. The priest made a glide. He reached beneath the macabre puppets. “Save me!” The gladiators re-loaded their weapons. The bats swarmed in front. “Let it be.” Julius doused them with holy water. They got burned to ashes. “Restiturgam!” Julius dodged the bolts. He picked the gems. They restored the mystics. The medalist dropped the crossbow. The trio brough nets and tridents. “Rest in peace.” The priest made a backflip. The retiarii only caught a pile of the treasure. “Stronger we are.” Anna cut up the puppet. She got ambushed by the bats. “Take it easy.” They tried to stab him. Julius threw the homing ball. The retiarii got shot to pieces. The undead gladiator and medalist kept the assault. The priest got caught in the net. The thing was made of metal. Julius got an idea. The thunder sword sent a spark along the line. The gladiator might explore. The priest tore the net. He threw it upon the medalist. “Not good.” He realized. The skeleton staggered against the boxes. The puppets made a spectacular entrée. They summersaulted to land before the dancing girl. The medalist got up. “The hour of the beast.” Julius inhaled. The skeleton twirled with the nunchakus. He was forced behind. “Medalist.” He muttered.Julius had never met the brothers of the knighthood. “Good Lord in Heaven!” No problem.Both Richter and Shanoa claimed they were the elite warriors. No matter, this was different. He left that behind. Julius put it into the hands of God. He threw the clock. The medalist got grinded to dust. “The time is on our side.” The closed the prayer with the sign of the cross. The bats swarmed against him. “Help us!” The priest might see beyond the obvious. He saw their malice. “Return to the Shadow!” Julius revealed the crucifix. “You will not feed on us.” The thunder sword blazed in his hand. “Glory be You!” The bat swarm squeaked for blood. “In Manos Toas Domine!” Julius cried. He released the sword storm. They got cut to pieces. “Then there shall be tears no more.” Julius exhaled. “Get down!” Anna cried. The priest turned around. The bats arrived. He burned them to ashes. The thunder sword whirled about. “So let it be!” Julius proclaimed. He got lifted into the air. The enflamed cross burned above. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” The light shone in the dark.

They returned in time. Marina was still angry with him. He didn't deservethis. No one did. Thomas left the crates. He figured about the trap. The macabre puppets danced in the air. He shuddered. Julius had found the key. The knight acknowledged he was ready. “Alright.”Anna got exhausted. She tried to gather. Julius opened the door. “You have to wait for me!” Marina created the bubble shield. “Blasted!”The knight kept behind. The pack of goblins hid inside that other room. They reached a barrack. The creates were stacked against the wall. Thomas howled. He had no care about the warehouse. “Die human scum!” The archer fired. The knight growled. The armour saved him. The arrow pushed him away. Anna danced. “Tiny dancer.” She was adorable. The fireballs burned on impact. They went for his neck. Thomas changed into his true form. He blazed with the power. The bat swam burned to ashes. He fetched the lance. Thomas challenged the monsters. The goblins were another tribe enemy. The orc kept firing. Marina clipped him. She tackledwith the goblins. Thomas had to pick up. He made the lance to burn. Thomas got work to do. The goblins kept together. “Blasted!” Thomas threw himself upon the monsters. “Burn in Hell!” The knight turned to fight them.

This was it. Anna pulled the trigger. The macabre puppet unleashed got pierced by the silver. The toys made havoc of the place. Anna shuddered. They really got into trouble. “Let it be!” Julius tried to shield her. The macabre puppets unleashed got reanimated by the necromancy. The air was filled by the puppets. “Stronger we are!” Anna cried. “In the name of the Lord!” The war force gave an edge. Anna hit the candles. She found the invincibility potion. “Thanks.” She got the crucifix. The macabre puppet unleashed. Anna struck him to pieces. She was stabbed. Anna licked her lips. She felt so weak. “They might inflict a cursed state.” Julius went pale. “May you be cast into Hell!” He revealed the crucifix. The puppets froze. She sat beside him. “The Lord will not leave or forget about the house of men.” Julius told. Anna blushed. She bit her lip. Anna might use the time stop. The marionettes moved about. She got up. “ The Lord is with us.” She proclaimed. He gave her the wings to fly. “Beware!” The priest called. “Wait!” Something was wrong. “Curse you!” The sun scorched her feathers. Anna shrieked. She was in pain. The Phoenix would burn. “God with us!” Julius ran for her. She retained her body. The knight was shooting. This was too much. Anna fell into darkness.

The priest knelt on the floor. “Mother of river.” Marina whispered. The vampire hunter put the laurels on her chest. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas leached himself upon the puppet demons. They tried to stab him. “Dark water horizon!” Marina brandished with the “Blood pain” whip. She grappled the marionettes. “This is the end.” The knife gleamed in her hand. “Leave us.” The deathly toy got cut to pieces. Thomas got ahead. “Let it be.” Julius revealed the crucifix. He and the girl got draped in bright light. “Into Your hands I commit my soul!” Marina threw herself down. “Sweet mother of river!” The nayad must shield her eyes. “Blasted puppets!” Thomas howled. “Take this!” The knight impaled the marionette. “Burn in Hell!” He removed the head. “Black water!” Marina got up to release the fairies. She got the power to help them.

Although Julius might defend himself. “That was quite a show.” Thomas remarked. “I guess.” Marina made it to rain. Anna stirred. The phoenix moved. “Blessed thee.” The priest made the sign of the cross. “She tried to rise upon the curse.” Anna was alive. “The body and soul must be pure.” Marina didn’t get it. The girl was a prostitute. “She will fly again.” He assured. “The Lord will guide us. Anna opened her eyes. The naiad relaxed. The curse was broken.

Abandoned mine, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The heat was almost unbearable. Man-size flames flickered and burned above the sea of lava. The order had to use medallions. The lady requested a certain task. This they might perform. The men and women chanted. The queen was taking over. They werenot her playthings. They raised her to use as a weapon against the Belmont clan. She had become so much more. Things were getting out of hand. They had no choice. The necromancer had fallen. He was their spokesman. “Make up the circle.” The priestess demanded. “Make up the blue fire.” They presented the cock as sacrifice. “The cock’s blood grants the circle life.” The priestesscutthethroat. “Let the ring live!”The order made a circle of blood. “Pour out the ointment.Prepare the dance.” The ritual had to commence. The rite was ancient. To worshipSatan. They cravedfor His presence. They called tothe bringer of Shadow in flame.“Lord Dracula!” The ring of blood burned high and bright. The tome burst open. The pages flicked like leaves.The werewolf howled. The vampire hissed.The necromancer's acolites laughed in triumph. They found the right page. The priestessspilled his blood on the floor. The gate was opened. The dark lord would rise. “Hark! There is a dead voice calling!” They recognized his power.

The caves, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The rocks fell from the ceiling. “Beware of the explosives!” Adam shouted. “Fire at will!” The conquest of the robots were to blame. They hid the bombs in the walls. “Get behind.” They fought. Claudia and Charles saved his life. That was not the end. Iris met the corporal. He channelled electricity into the glove. Then he could deflect their plasma. Adam howled. The battle-droids opened fire. He threw himself down before rolling forward. Addam snarled. He would tare the group. Addam got up. He tripped upon the head. Iris ripped the skull. “Watch out!” Claudia gave a hand. They went mad. “Follow me!” Iris cried. They got to run.

Treasury room, hidden docks. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

They cried. “Leave in peace.” Julius held the crucifix. The goblins refused him.”Let it be!” The priest doused them with holy water. “The shields are enchanted!” “The necromancer cast theblack spell.” Marina released the fairies. She blocked the grenades. They got throwers. Julius felt nothing about the violence. “Stronger we are!” Anna danced to challenge the bats. “In the name of the Lord!” He struck with the sword. The yellow skin got soaked in blood. His black eyes glazed over. The goblin was dead before hitting the floor. “Then so let it be.” He made a back-flip. The pike goblin tried to nail him up against the wall. “You bastard!” Thomas filled him with bullets. “Dark ocean world!” Marina cast the ice spell. Her face was alight with ecstasy. The troop froze in place. The axe goblin might cut her apart. “Blasted!” Thomas barely saved her. The knight stood tall to release a flurry of flames.”God with us.” The priest bent to worship. The fight was over. Marina went among the dead. The little witch searched for treasure. Julius disliked to plunder. That wasn’t his style. “We must continue.” Anna had to reload the crossbow. She hung up to dance. Julius blushed. She was so charming. “How?” Thomas asked. He frowned. “There must be a way.” They transported the goods. ”Jump into the basket.” Marina teased. Then she got serious. “That is an elevator.” She told. “Like the tribes used before electricity.” Julius sighed. “You keep surprising.” She smirked. Thomas got ahead. “This might work.” He inspected the construction. The basket was secure. “Then so let it be done.” Julius touched the crucifix. “Though I don’t know the way.” Dracula’s henchmen must be at work. “Let us find out.” Marina climbed aboard. The knight went along. “Ring the bell.” The dark-breed suggested. “Alright.” Marina went to pull. “Beware.” Julius tightened the grip. They got pulled from sight. “I hope that might support his weight.” Anna remarked. “ The armour isn’t that light.” Julius acknowledged. “Thus the hunt continue.” There was another basket. They got inside. The priest promised to protect her. “Do not use the force.” Julius adviced. “Of course.” Anna blew a kiss. He blushed. She rang the bell. The basket was rising. Julius made the sign of the cross. She got too close. “Save us.” Julius blushed. The priest touched her body. They got other problems. “Look out!” Anna told. The bats squeaked.”God with us!” He revealed His image. They scattered. Julius kept watch. “Who are you?” The blonde harpy landed upon the basket. Julius was afraid about the fall. “Ah, young love.” The harpy was nude. The dim obscured her expose. “Leave us in peace!” Anna tried to stamp her. The woman screamed. She left the basket. The bats went like a wave. Julius threw the axe. “Wait a moment.” Anna stopped the others. The harpy shrieked. “Accursed!” She spread her wings. The feathers made him to stagger. “Die human scum!” She threw her knife. The plates prevented the effort. “Shine on!” Anna became the Phoenix. The sun bird chased the woman. Julius made the sign of the cross. The sister cut the sermon. The dark harpy released multiple feathers. “Bless me.” She threw the knife. Julius doused her with holy water. The harpy collided with the basket. He pushed her aside. Julius got the axe. The harpy chased his friends. Anna had reformed. He got afraid. The girl boosted no armour. The Shuriken pierced her hart. “Excuse me.” Julius unsheathed the sword. “Then so let it be.” Anna kissed his cheek. “Forgive me.” Julius confessed. “For I have sinned.” This he must tell. The superiorswould decide his punishment. The bats came for blood. Anna stopped the lot. The trio of harpies emerged. They released the feathers. Julius huddled together. He tried to block the attack. Julius got to shield her. “Dead men walking!” Anna cried. The bones went through the air. “Save us!” They ripped like claws. He looked skyward. The bone-thrower was up there. The grin never changed. “Take them!” The harpies swooped to throw feathers. Julius made a row of clocks to fall down. The monsters left the gems. They tried to stab him. She came from beneath. The skeleton threw the bones. “Rest in peace!” Julius buried the blade inside her. The harpy went limb. The fire burned her flesh. The bats kept squeaking. They came like a wave. Anna knocked the bones. The harpy kicked her. He burned the bats. There was a pile of gems. That got to wait. Anna healed herself. The harpy gasped. She broke her neck. The girl picked the price. Julius staggered. He got hit by the bones. Anna cast the flame spell. The thrower got shot to pieces. Julius used the laurels to restored his health. “Good Lord!” They reached the level. The priest had a look inside.”Hit the bell.” He told. “This is not the exit.” Anna made no comment. She lay on the bottom. “God with us!” He got the sword. The harpies gathered. “Leave her alone!” Julius threw himself upon the trio. “What?” Anna got up. The harpies tried to knife them. “You will die!” She pulled the braid. Julius touched the crucifix. The thrower leaped into the basket. “Let it be!” The priest struck with the sword. “God with us!” The bones made him to stagger. “Let him go!” Anna danced to make lightning strike. The bats burned. The harpies picked her. Julius fought the thrower. He kept rebuilding. The sister stabbed at his torso. Julius collapsed. The axe crushed him. ”Die!” The harpy retrieved the knife. “Let it be.” The laurels restored him. Julius would not become a cripple. The harpy smiled. The brown hair hid her face. She kicked. The legs got coated by feathers. Julius lost the sword. She bent before the kiss. He thought of the undead. This wouldn’t happen. “Glory to the Saints in Heaven!” The basket was rising. “Good bye.” She would push him. Julius stamped her. The harpy kept him. The priest pulled the dagger. The woman shuddered. “God with us!” Julius threw them forward. She burned on impact. “We had to kill them.” Anna returned. She retained human form. “I know.” Julius felt so tired. She embraced him. Julius didn’t know how to react. The skeleton then tried to break his neck.

The wings hit his body. The armour didn’t matter. She was too strong. Thomas staggered. This didn’t work out as planned. The Bones fell down. They got a thrower. Thomas howled.He was struck. The humpback got on top. The harpy smiled by the misery. She gota knife. Thomas got the gauntlets. “No!” They got on fire. The freaks got scorched. Thomas sighed. He twirled with the lance. The harpy let goa. Marina preventedthe flight. She cut her throat. The zombies kept working. They pulled the baskets. He moved for the thrower. The skeleton got assistance. The humpbacks went for his friends. Thomas morphed into his true form. He charged up and released the tripled shot. The bones got thrown about the shaft. Marina sang. She made it to snow uncontrollably. Whisp was impressed. She was quicker then the freaks. Thomas presented the Host. He burns the monsters. The fight was over. Only for a moment, they beheldeach other. Thomas was the first to gather. “Let us do war.” He told. “Right.”Marina and Thomas went to work. The bats approached. Marinareleased the fairies. “Thomas!” Shecalled. “I need your help!” She flayed with the whip.Thomas growled. Hetouched the crucifix. They got pressed.The knighthad to rest before reloading his rifle.

The harpy tried to rip her. Anna released the war force. They let her fall. She madeitto burn. Anna climbed into the basket. The priest struggled. His face got black. The sisters swooped. She stopped the group. Julius escaped the grasp. He was gasping. Anna helped him to get up. He almost fell over. Anna wished she could do more. The harpies released their feathers. “Fire in the hall!” The thrower hurled the bones. “God with us!” Julius broke the knees. “Watch out!” Anna screamed. She felt so cold. The impact felt like the iron claws. “Christ’s prostitute!” The harpy trusted her knife. Julius hurled the gold Shuriken. She lost her head. Julius retrieved the item. The gunner pulled the rifle. The bats returned. The thrower cast a flurry of bones. The exit was up there. Julius held the crystal. He let a meteors to fall down. The bone-thrower got crushed to pieces. Only the harpies survived. The kept him occupied. Anna bit her lip. The bats squeaked. She stopped the swarm. Anna force-kicked the sisters. The priest doused them with holy water. The harpies burned. Anna sighed. “Stronger we are!” They kept whirling. “In the name of the Lord!” Julius touched the crucifix. “Ring the bell!” He called. The dead struck the skull. Julius threw the vials. They kept rising. Anna inhaled.

The harpy got burned to ashes. Marina exhaled. She would not be the prey. “Easy girl.” Thomas remarked. He was busy with the rifle. The little witch tried to relax. They possessed no magic. The torchlight burned ahead. “Mother.” Marina’s hand touched the pearl medallion. She felt unsure. The cave was haunted. Marina felt the death dark force. A group of green freaks reached the basket. They leapt on top. “Oh no!” They tried to rip her, limb from limb. “Get back you demons!” Thomas attacked with his arms on fire. They tried to break him. The flea men got confused. Marina got the blood watch and fairies. The gang men shrieked. Marina felt no pity. She neither slut nor dinner. The thrower hit her stomach. “Death water.” She huddled behind her cape. That still hurt. Thomas was busy with the bones. The bats went for her throat. Marina cleared them away. She used the whirlwind spell. Thomas jumped. He climbed up the trench. The bone-thrower took her and slammed her against the bottom. Marina lost the hat. She must pull herself together. “Dark ocean world.” That reallydid hurt. She opened the book to release the pages. The skeleton got shot to pieces. They reached atop. Marina almost giggled with delight. Then she got serious. They had to hunt the night.

Town of Aliba, Warakiya. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

They released the humans. Tholin was glad they did. Sylvia and Pabel made the exorcism.

He shrugged. The chieftain didn’t know much about that stuff. They believed in reincarnation.

Virginia landed upon a nearby building. She only had one eye after the battle. “We should enlist them.” The raven said. Tholin shrugged. That wasn’t his business. “Right folks.” He beckoned. “We have to leave.” Alice gave her salute. “Sure boss.” She picked the whistle. “I give the signal.” He returned the salute. The she dwarf left him behind. The raven then spread his wings. Earendil approached. “We need to talk.” Tholin bowed. He was beautiful. “Bremen!” The unicorn called. The centaurs spoke together. “Yes?” Tholin hailed him. They had become brothers of war. Alice wasted no time. The troop was about to gather. “They are the vampire hunters.” The dwarves never pledged fealty to the Dark Lord. “We must be better than the villagers.” Daniela arrived. “Their choice.” Henry looked unsure.

The unicorn kicked the snow. “They left through the west gate.” Bremen checked the escape.

“You blessed the bread.” That was a part of their ritual. “Great is the mystery of faith.” Michael told. “That may be.” This was a waste. They got other work to do.

Hidden docks, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

They went through the opening. Adam and Cedric were ready to fight. She licked her lips. Claudia expectedthe robots to appear. That didn’t happen. Iris relaxed. The teeth lit her face. “Then almost home free.” The princess breath. Claudia looked upon the water. She was right. The ancient citadel loomed in the distance. Charles shook his head. “There is no ship in port.” Claudia had a look. He was right. They couldn’t view the docks. “We don’t need it.” Iris said. “We have toswim.” That would be a long journey. Never the less, she was the princess. “Alright.” Claudia inhaled. “Let us go home.” Iris smiled. She would make her proud.

These were the hidden docks. “Help us.” The lamps got dim. The mist shrouded the lake. Julius touched the crucifix. The cave was humongous. “Clashes of waves.” The priest sighed. He was not like Shanoa. “Sea of blood.” Thomas acknowledged. “Walking on the edge.” Marina beheld the water. “Deep blue sea.” Anna pulled her behind. She really looked green. “The lake is polluted.” The witch bit her lip. Julius admitted. This was the source of the filth. Thomas beheld the high citadel. “The Shadow rising.” Julius could see beyond the obvious. “The heart is rotten.” Anna touched his shoulder. Hesighed. “We have to enter the abode.” His voice became a whisper. “Though the order is near.” Marina looked frail. “I can’t swim.” Thomas put an arm around her waist. “The lake is polluted.” He squeezed her breast. “Right.” “The tribe is in prison.” Julius would pray for the forgotten souls. “They cannot help us.” Thomas snarled. “The princess will come.” He assured. Julius made the sign of the cross. “That rests with the Lord.” He unsheathed the sword. “Come. Let us hunt.” Anna shrieked. The witch left from the ceiling. “You shall not suffer a witch to live.” Julius got the crucifix. The concubine laughed. She almost crash-landed on the broom stick. The witch was no hag. They swept toward his face. “Stronger we are in the name of the Lord!” Anna was adorable. She made lightning strike. “Burn you!” Thomas fired the triple shot to might impale them. The witch touched the belt. Marina got the whip. “Die!” The spell struck her against the wall. She collapsed. Julius picked a vial. The witch got burning eyes. “Save us from the evil One.” The brunette was naked beneath the cloak. Julius shuddered. He would not be tempted. “Yes.” She might charm the hunter. “Behold me.” The soul might become a weapon. “Hold me.” Julius buried the angel sword between her breasts. “Nice work.” Thomas reloaded the rifle. The evil witch was dead. She fell burning into the sea. “This way!” Anna told. “Right.” Thomas picked up his girlfriend. “There is another witch.” She came from beneath the peer. The student shrieked. The fire spell burned her flesh. “Let it be.” Marina closed the tome. Then she staggered. Julius gave a hand. “Thanks.” He used the laurels. “That was nice.” Julius acknowledged. He left her to collect the crystals. “We got to leave.” Anna was ahead. “Beware!” She reached the walkway. “Wait for us!” Julius called. “You arenot the hunter!” Anna looked behind. She ran. “God with us!” Julius presented the crucifix. “Oh my God!” The mermen leaped from the depth. They tried to take her. “God with us!” Julius shouted. “We can’t let the tadpoles take her!” Marina brandished with the whip. “Burn you monsters!” The knight howled. He threw the stakes. Julius made a row of meteors to fall down. “Lord!” That was a mistake. The catwalk began to crumble. Anna vanished into the sea. “Dark water!” Marina got above. The dockmen figured. They tugged her clothing. Julius climbed the ladder. He almost slipped the rust. “Alright!” Thomas joined the witch. “Let it be.” Anna was alive. The priest could see beyond the obvious. “Save me!” The mer tadpoles tried to consume her. Anna might breathe underwater. That was enough. The merman electrified. “Clockwork!” Time was on his side. “Great is the mystery of faith!” Julius made it to rain with holy water. The tadpoles got grinned to dust. “You are a Belmont.” The lady gunner swam into his arms. “Thank you.” Anna was shaking. Heembraced her. “Beware the wicked One.” Julius exhaled. There were other mermen. “Tell me.” Anna was adorable. “Swim.” He stamped them out. “For your life.” The priest told. “Alright.” He wished to comfort. There was nothing left. Julius got to swim. He reached the ladder. Julius climbed. She got atop. He might love her. The dogma forbade it. “Lord.” Julius looked about. This was a larger section of the docks. The goods and cargo got brought deeper into the mountain. Anna performed. “Tiny dancer.” He muttered. “Save us from Evil.” Julius didn’t know how they transported the stuff. Was the ship invisible? “Get back you devils!” Marina and Thomas fought back to back. The bats whirled about. “From dust to dust!” The zombies threw boxes at them. “Bones to ashes!” Julius touched the crucifix. The burning cross appeared. The harpies carried the humpbacks. “Mother of river.” The freaks rebounded. They might rip her to pieces. Julius got ambushed. He hurled a vial. That burned upon impact. The witch returned. “I thought you lusted for me.” She giggled. Thomas fired with the rifle. “Lucifer’s bitch!” He loaded withthe cross bullet. The witch fell from the broom and into the sea. “Right!” Marina tried to fetch the broomstick. Thomas restrained her. “Thatitem is accursed.” The priestexplained. “You don’t need it.” The humpbacks attacked. They forced him behind. Anna then made a time stop. “Beelzebub.” The priest shook them aside. “Lord of flies.” They ragged him. So be it. The mermen leapt from the abyss. Anna danced while hurling fireballs. “God with us!” Julius fought the zombies. He got to conquer. The priest hit the torches. He took the items. “Fire in the hall!” Anna managed to shot the harpy. She exhaled. “The Lord is with you.” Anna forced-kicked the monsters. The witch crashed. “Dear friends.” The girl might bespell them.He presented the crucifix. The witch looked so frail. “I surrender.” She gave up her wrists. The priests couldn’t kill her. “In the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Julius might grant an absolution. He would be an apostle. The priest didn’t have to decide. “Save me.” He cried. “I am perishing.” Julius got struck by lightning. “He can’t save you.” She reached for his pants. “No one might save you now.” The witch would spill his blood. “We are in Transylvania now.” The smile was sweet. “And Transylvania is not England.” Julius shuddered. “Our ways are not your ways.” She lost the momentum. “You are a bitch!” She came from behind. The bayonet cut her throat. “Thanks.” Julius inhaled. That was close.

They were about to kill the naiad. Whips howled. The freaks released her. They came for him. The dark-breed snarled. He would tear them apart. The knight released another triple shot. The skeletons hid in another room. Marina gathered. She lit the blue fire. The dead got frozen. Whisp removed the humpbacks. He howled. That hurt. The thrower waited for an opening. The bones flew through the air. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas retained his human form. “Mother!” The witch hid within her cloak. Thomas got in front. “Demon!” The bone-thrower got away. He snarled. “Die!” The stake was the final. The skeleton collapsed into a heap. “Thanks!” Marina still knelt. “You saved my life.” The knight shrugged. Thomas went to help her stand. They kissed. That was a surprise. “Alright.” She breathed. “Alright.” Thomas shook his head. He still kept her up. “That is fair.” Thomas had to clear his voice. The knight felt Awkward.Thomas released her to reload the rifle. “Mother of river.” Marina blushed. He managed to restrain a laugh. She looked so funny. “Are you alright?” Julius appeared in the doorway. “Sure.” The knight pulled together. “Everything is perfect.” Marina told. She left the room. They exchanged glances. “Women.” He remarked. Julius exhaled. They returned to the docks.

This was a setup. Anna drew blood of the bayonet. They tried to kill the priest. “Bastard!” The Devil’s concubine would dulge up her heart. “Leave him alone!” She solved the case. Count Dracula would destroy the Belmont clan. That was not aloud. Julius was the leader. Sheblushed. He might be the love of her life. The church spoke againstsuch connections. Anna had accepted her destiny. She was a Gypsy whore. The witch prepared for the ritual. She drew the knife. Anna bit her lip. The concubine used blood to paint symbols on her skin. “Preserve us from the wicked One!” Anna danced before the audience. “Stronger we are!” She threw her from the docks. “In the name of the Lord!” Anna broke the broomstick. “Belmont slut!” The witch screamed. “Forgive me.” The tadpoles consumed her body. “Forget about her.” Nobody deserved that fate. “Let it be.” Thomas touched her shoulder. “The road is long.” Anna sighed. “That rests with the Lord.” Julius made the sign of the cross. He supported himself upon the blade. They reached a pillared walkway. “Show us the way.” Anna went aside. “Beware.” She told. The mermen would eat them. “Right.” Thomas snarled. The bats came for blood. Marina left above. She used the bloodwatch. Anna sang.

The Phoenix made the bats to burn. “Mother of river!” Marina brandished with the whip. “Begone!” She could do much better. Anna was nothing then a whore. “Dark ocean world!” Marina would protect the river. “Right.” She breathed. The witch cast the whirlwind spell. The bats scattered. They reached the docks. The city was far away. The sunbird had landed. Anna returned. The torchlight lit her body. Marina twitched. She got hold. “Leave the rock.” The priest explained. “That might be a trap.” The witch inspected the rune. He was right. There was something rotten. “Get ready folks!” The humpbacks dropped their boxes. “Mother.” Marina touched the necklace. The watchers channelled electricity. She hid within the great bubble. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas got struck. The dancing girl released the fireballs. “God with us!” Julius came with his arms on fire. The mermen would feed upon her flesh. Marina cast the frost spell. They broke to pieces. “Girls want to have fun?” The humpbacks ragged her. She fought to escape. They pulled her into the warehouse. “Dark ocean world!” The cauldrons boiled. The freaks chuckled while preparingfor her death. “Leave me alone!” The door got thrown off the hinges. Whisp arrived. “You bastards!” He was angry.

“Burned paradise”, Warakiya. The 22^nd. Of December 2098 A.D.

The alarm resounded through the compound. “To your stations.” Charl Kraftbecame notified. “Come with me.” The group marched down the corridor. The captain kept on the hand-screen. The sergeant concentrated the defence around the main gate. “They reached the parameter. The complex was at a stand-by alert. “Carry on, lieutenant.” Kraft announced. “For Dracul.” Heinz Von Einzelm returned the salute. The humans had to maintain the security. The sun was rising. The last day was coming. The resistance would celebrate. The captain snarled. There was nothing left to do. “Alert the forward command!” The corporal cut through. Though there was a lot of static. “We have them.” The technical crew repaired the system. “Prepare the assault.” They appeared on screen. “The troops are equipped for winterwarfare.” This was an ambush. “Sir, yes sir.” Fritz Mayer gave his salute. “Respite. Until their attack.” The captain deactivated the hand-computer. “Open side-door one and two.” He instructed. “Sir, yes sir.” His commandoes spread out. They reached the stables. The scouts got ready. The Raptors got revived through science. This was a puzzle. “Get ahead.” Kraft demanded. “Very good, sir.” The scout leader hailed him. “Excellent.” He would reveal their secrets.

Hidden docks, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

They were to dive when the lycanthrope discovered. “Look!” He pointed. Claudia gasped. “The Belmont is here.” Cedric whispered. The princess acknowledged. “We have to help.” Charles remarked. “They saved us from prison.” He would do his duty. Claudia retained human form. “That is the question.” The princess reached the edge. “The throne is mine.” They looked upon the forgotten city. “Beware!” The mermen leaped.They left the water. “Karack Warn!” The princess howled her challenge. Claudia shrieked. They took the leader. The mermen would eat them. “Mother Earth!” Claudia snarled. She would kill the lot.

The zombies pushedthe boxes. Anna kept dancing. The girl’s fireballs got blasted about. Julius struck with the thunder sword. The harpy was dead. The humpback kept rebounded. Marina hid within the bubble. The witch collided. Shetrustedthe silver knife. “God with us!” The priestgot the crucifix. The knight fired. He stopped to reload. Juliusleft the rune tiles. The watchers channelled electricity. He threw the axe. The eyeball swooped. Thomas impaled the brute. “Look out!” The mermen reached the docs. “Alright.” They spat poison liquid. Earth was his ally.Julius struck with the fairy sword. “Preserve us from the wicked One!” The blade burned like the sun in the forest. Thomas approached. “Stay back!” Marina cried. The knight stepped upon the rune stone. The platform vanished into the floor. Anna knocked the humpbacks. The harpy tried to kill her. The brunette took her. Julius ran. “God with us!” The zombies got in his way. He doused them with holy water. “Get behind me, you devils!” She stamped with the crucifix. The harpy shrieked while burning. “There is a storage.” Thomas returned. “Look out for the macabre puppets!” The mermen caught him. He snarled. The knight threw the stakes. Julius released through the gauntlets. “Then so let it be done!” The fireball searched and destroyed. The witch collided. Julius hit the floor. “Leave him!” Thomas growled. The dark-breed charged his gauntlets. “You cannot stop me.” She laughed. “Maybe.” Marina touched the “Blood pain”. “He is not alone.” Anna had arrived. The priest got up. “Let it be done.” He felt the power. Julius used the laurels. That removed the curse. “God with us!” He unsheathed the sword. “Sleep tight.” Thomas hit her in the head. “Come.” He told. “Before she awakens.” Julius got head. “Right.” The little witch got the bloodwatch. She stopped the monsters. “Look out!” They reached the edge. The bats spet from below. “They will feed on you tonight.” The bitch was back. Julius threw the stone axe. He winched. The priest had killed a woman. He couldn’t mourn. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas cast the garlic. “The Lord is with you.” The swarm exploded. Anna kept dancing to distract the mermen. “The walkway is breaking!” Anna told. “Let me carry!” She sang. “Rise like the Phoenix.” Anna retained her true form. “Lord!” The mermen threw him into the sea. He got to breathe. The tadpoles would eat him. Julius used the gauntlets and crucifix. The mer leader channelled. His fireball burned underwater. The plates were too heavy. The knight removed his armour. Anna could breathe. They repelled the tadpoles. That didn’t change anything. The priest might die. Anna held him. “Breathe through the bubbles!” She pointed at her lips. “Restiturm!” Julius figured. The priest did as she told. That felt so nice. Julius might survive. They went for the surface. Thomas swam to challenge the mermen. The gunner released him. This was the ladder. He went first. Julius was weary. He reached the docks. Marina was there. Were where the others? Julius had lost the edge. The Phoenix found his sword. “Thank you.” She gave him the blade. The sunbird flew ahead. They couldn’t stopthe flight. “Preserve us!” He touched the crucifix. The Phoenix collided. The flash was too bright. “Look on that!” Marina pointed. The firebird rised from the ashes. Anna arrived. He recognized the tattooes. Not even her outfit got scorned. “Rise like a Phoenix.” Anna smiled. “I must find the knight.” She changed into the Phoenix. Julius sighed. He got to investigate the cave. They returned. Thomas regained his composure. “Salvation.”He figured about thegoal. “Let us continue.” The witch cut his reverie. “God with us!” Julius got the sword. The knight reloaded his rifle. Thomas took the lance. The girls gathered. There was another shaft. The platform resurfaced. The priest made the sign of the cross. “Do not touch them.” The lift was filled with boxes. “This is the time.” The witch had landed. She opened Pandora’s box. “The macabre puppets.” Julius had expected. They left to fight. “Save us!” The bats returned. They swooped for blood. The witch hid within the bubble. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas released a round. The priest inhaled. They breached the docks. Anna faced the macabre puppets. He led them above the walkway. The bridge collapsed. “Let it be!” That was black magic. Julius made the sign of the cross. She was a witch. Julius threw the knife. The witch screamed. She crashed. “Blood ofChrist.” He cast a vial. She burned. Thomas emptied his rifle. “That is the way.” The bats exploded. Marina cast the whirlwind spell. They challenged the living dead. Thomas remained behind. The macabre puppets unleashed kept up the case. “You bloody bastards!” Thomas snarled. He twirled with the lance. The priest withdrew to hurl tripled axes. That cracked the puppet. Anna danced. She created the Starfield. The zombies burned. Julius admired her abilities. Marina cracked with the “Blood pain”. The whip might break the macabre puppets unleashed. Julius made the sign of the cross. The knight hid behind the pillar. “Save me!” She triggered the crossbow. Thomas howled. He pulled the priest aside. “Then do what must be done.” Anna helped him up. He gathered. Thomas broke the arm. He threw it on the floor. There was another knight. Anna threw the fireballs. “Let me show you something.” She began to dance. “Do you like this?” The elf stared. Julius exhaled. The priest pushed them through the door. Anna whistled while she worked. They defeated the puppets. Julius was finished. He ledthem above the walkway.The bridge was secure. The bats arrived. Julius shuddered. He presented the crucifix. That made them to burn. “Death water!” Marina caused an inflamed explosion. The priest exhaled. They reached the docks. “Good Lord.” The pier was huge. “Let it be.” Julius made the sign of the cross. The flea-men and work bodies laboured with the cargo. They challenged the monsters. Marina was ambushed by the harpy. The knight sidestepped. “The bitch is back!” Julius stamped her out. The zombies approached. “Look out!” He cried.

The crates contained the puppets. Thomas threw the stakes. They got impaled. “Twisted!” The harpy trusted her knife. The knightpickedthe lance. They cleared the doc. “Welcome.” He took the gems. The Lycan had arrived. “Fine.” Irissmirked. They were ready to rumble. The city rised above the water. Julius told about their exploits. “We have to extend the bridge. Thomas acknowledged. The sea life might kill them. Anna approached. They couldn’t swim. “I can’t leave the armour.” The wolf shrugged. Thee tribe could make the distance. “Nice.” Thomas dismissed. “We should keep together.” Iris remarked. “I can breathe underwater.” Shesighed. “I won’t leave you.”Anna shuddered. “You don’t know what rests down there.” The knight touched her shoulder. “I have to find the people.” Iris declared. Cedric ogled. Anna blew the kiss. Thomas growled. “What do you suggest?” Julius touched the crucifix. “The mechanics.” ” Charles frowned. “You might use the switch.” Claudia folded her arms. “That is below.” She told. Thomas beheld the rune stone. He felt cold. “Let it be.” Julius was the leader. “You must turned the sculptures toward the symbol.” Claudia explained. “Alright.” They had to figure. “We have to split.” Thomas reloaded the rifle. “We must use the lift.”

“Clockwork”, hidden docks. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The platform reached the bottom. Anna was ready. The bats flapped about. She fired the gun. The group was in action. The Minotaur struck with the axe. He hit the floor. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas cursed. The Minotaur dashed to fetch her friend. “Stronger we are!” Anna got to reload the rifle. “In the name of the Lord!” She used the silver ammo. “Such a nice body.” The beast gropedher. Anna got disgusted.The Minotaur was large. She gathered more force. “Yeah!” Anna power-punched the monster. “Release my friend!” She kicked him in the head. The Minotaur staggered. He let her drop. “Mother!” Marina got up. She released the pages. That didn’t change anything. Anna bit her lip. The clock room was large. “They are the dead.” The skeletons made an ambush. Anna was alone. The brute touched her. Anna shuddered. Thomas was her boyfriend. The Gypsy blushed. He gloated about that. “Stronger we are!” The girl revealed her crucifix. “In the name of the Lord!” Anna kicked him were it felt best. The Minotaur released her. “You human whore!” The beast retrieved the axe. Anna screamed. She made the chain lightning strike. The Minotaur staggered behind. Anna cast the Star field. “Right!” Thomas threw the stakes. “No!” She cried. The beast hit him. Anna would kill him.

The Minotaur staggered. “You monster!” Marina shrieked. The knight threw the triple shot. She gathered. Thomas smirked. Then he got hit by the bone-thrower. “Dark Ocean world!” Marina trusted the silver knife. “Mother of river!” The Minotaur collapsed. He was dead. “Black water!” The bats settled upon her body. Thomas impaled the skeleton. “God with us!” Julius challenged the Minotaur. He met the spikes. The beast gloated. Julius got the crucifix. The Minotaur got burned. “Girls that want to have fun!” Anna made the chain lightning strike. The bone-men took her. “Twisted!” Thomas released the flames. He hit the candles. “Mother!” Marina cast the frost spell. “Thanks!” Thomas picked the morning-star.”Let it be.” Thomas cast the roses. She bit her lip. The flowers exploded. “Were the wild roses grow.” The knight twirled with the halberd. “Game over!” Anna shot with silver.”Have some air.” The Minotaur threw her into the shaft. “Mother!” Marina shrieked. She released the fairies. The Monster staggered. He picked her up. “Death water!” The beast cast her against the wall. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost.” She fell into a heap. “Let it be.” Julius knelt. He got the laurels. “Come here!” Marina sighed with relief. The gunner survived.

Living quarters, the vampire’s tower. The 20^th. of December 2098 A.D.

The girl sat before her dressing table. Luna beheld the reflection. Shepulled the blonde wig. “Dracul.” Luna removed the mascara and lipstick. She undid the bun. “To serve the night.” The black hair fell down her shoulders. “His blood.” Luna sighed with relief.That feltbetter. Why was she doing this? The ropes lay on the bed. She shuddered. Luna was 13 years old. She couldn’t help it. Damien Frost came to her. He learned her to behave like the Gamina. “There shall be a new master.” Luna believed in the prophecy. She looked into the mirror. “All who oppose the prince of Darkness must die.” The imageshowed the pale skin and ears. The elvan blood marked her body. Luna was proud of her linage. “The blood of the hunter.” Her family name was Sarranow. “Hail from the past.” She pledged fealty to the Dark Lord.“The festival of servants.” Luna rejoiced in the return of his castle. “The creature of Chaos.” The lords of Shadow then awoke from their slumber. They fought for the throne. “The curse.” Luna got the goosy. He was that cold. She better have a shower. Damien tore her nightgown. She was covered in sweat. Nobody shouldendure. Luna was a battle-mage. He abused her. Luna was a half-blood. The bite had no effect on her. “Resurrection.” The order gavethe ring.

The lake, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The clashes of waves struck against the harbour. “Beware of the monsters!” Cedric howled. The mermen returned. “Blast it!” Claudia shouted. “They might feed us to the tadpoles!” Cedric figured that much. “Let them come.” Charles growled. “Let me cut them to Sushi.” The Lycan smirked. “Focuse.” Iris told. “They are dangerous.” She cast the scythes. “Alright!” Claudia slashed the mermen. “Get moving!” Cedric had to cover the onslaught. The tribe directorate gave him the power. “The mermen coming in!” Claudia shouted. “Fire!” Iris unleashed the scythes like a torpedo. “Mother Earth!” That caused an explosion.

“Clockwork”, hidden docks. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The machine room was huge. Julius made the sign of the cross. There were the four statues. He lost the seal. “Deep blue sea.” He looked out the window. “Wandering the crystal blue.” There was nothing to see. “You have to figure about the puzzle.” Thomas sighed. “I know.” He smirked. “What will you do?” The knight inspected the mechanism. “You must beware.” Marina told. “Let it be.” The priest inhaled. The shaft got a bottom. “This is not a black hole.” The Lord would decide. “Julius!” The gunner used the platform to get up. “Come with me.” Julius could relax.”Of course.” Anna was alive. “Be what may be.” He was ready. “Alright.” The vampire hunter touched the crucifix. “Cross your heart.” Anna returned with the elevator. He would do his duty. “Do what must be done.” Juliusswore to protect her. “Wait for me.” The gunner went downstair. Julius believed in her abilities. Though he wished he knew more. Marina and Thomas spoke together. He wouldnevereavesdrop. Julius unsheathed the sword. He summoned the Lord. They got to figure how to move the statues. Marina became busy. “Get down here!” Anna called. The platform was rising. “God with us!” Julius leaped on top. “The stench.” He thought of the den. “Help me!” She cried. Julius leaped. He would fight.

Cells, “clockwork”. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The priest almost collided against the shaft. Julius crouched together. The girl was in trouble. “To hunt the night.” He took the oath. “Good Lord!” The cavern stenched. “Then so let it be.” Julius left the elevator. He looked abroad. The platform got moved by steam. The pot would continue to boil. He made the sign of the cross. This was a prison. Julius tightened his grip. The cells lay around the square chamber. Julius inhaled. The doors must be closed. He sighed. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” The bats squeaked for blood. Julius made it to rain with holy water. He breathed. Anna had disappeared. He would find her. The priest got the ability to see beyond the obvious. “Save me.” The zombies hid in the cells. They lusted for flesh. Julius made the sign of the cross. His image flickered. “God with us!” Julius shouted. The priest threw the dagger. The zombies leached. They hurled their skulls. He got to escape. “Preserve me of Evil!” The crucifix blazed upon his chest. “Rest in peace!” The gang of corpses would make him into a meal. Julius got pressed up against the wall. There was no time for a miracle. They stenched. Julius fought not to vomit. “Then let it be!” The head and the heart. “Night of the living dead.” That was the basic when fighting the dead. The crucifix burned. They got put on fire. He would save the girl. “Preserve me from Evil!” Julius left her in the hands of the Lord. The zombies got cut to pieces. He sighed. “Thanks.” He felt so weary. The crystals restored his energy. Julius inhaled. “Dungeons and dragons.” The stench lay heavy upon the prison. He pulled a hand through the blonde hair. “Let it be.” Julius recognized the smell. “Burned sulphur.” He breathed. Julius looked around. “Resiturgam.” He would save her soul. Julius cleaned his weapons upon the zombie’s tunic. Julius made the sign of the cross. “In manos toas Domine.” The knight stood on the threshold. “The angels can’t save you.” The undead knight moved aside so that Anna might be revealed. “Leave her alone.” He would not touch her. “The blood of your Gypsy whore taste so sweet.” The man challenged. “She is nothing like that.” Julius re-sheathed the dagger. “I am a priest.” Let it be. Julius knew better then to underestimate their power. “Is that so?” The fox held her. The knight licked her throat. Anna beheld them with frightened eyes. “What do you want?” Julius was tired. The vampire tried to fix his gaze. Heinhaled. The knight exposed his fangs. “I am not a homosexual.” Julius reached for the crucifix. “In what century was you bitten?” “Dracul!” The undead knight threw himself forward. “For the house of Belmont!” He cried. Their blood lived on in his linage. The blades clashed. “God with us!” Heblocked the attack. Julius pierced the torso. The vampire groaned. He morphed into the wolf. Julius roared. “Preserve me!” He bit the knee. The eyes burned. He retained human form. “Get behind!” The priest presented the crucifix. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” He cried in defiance. “Into Your hands I commit my spirit!” His body went ablaze with rage. Julius was the descendant of Maxim and Nathan. The martial arts became blessed by justice. The red knight used Anna like a shield. She used the crossbow. The chain mail saved him. The vampire climbed at the ceiling. “Curse you human!” The fox fought to reload. “Let it be.” Julius noticed the approach. He spun around to fight. “Preserve us from the wicked One!” Carrie’s cousin was turned into a vampire. The knight made a back-flip to protect the heart. He reached for the sword. “Rest in peace.” Julius removed the head. That was not the end. “”Let it be.” The priest pierced the heart. A look of relief crossed the face before the decay. Julius made the sign of the cross. The fox fired her weapon. The priestwept while he dodged. “You mourn a vampire’s death?” The lapse was enough. “I got a better touch.” Anna cooed. She danced before the audience. The knight swallowed. Anna created the Star field. Alright.” The priest went to inspect the corpses. “Though you don’t have to pretend.” Anna blushed. “They came from that direction.” She explained. “I think the submarines are stored in there.” They should tell the others. “We might use them to escape.” The priest got to return upstairs.He might help with the statues. Anna frowned. Thatlooked cute. “We got other work to do.” She had found the key. “Then So let itbe.” He inspected the item. “This is the master key.” He knew that from the “Nation of fools”. Anna bit her lip. “I know.” The flapping of wings. The harpy tried to pick him. “God with us!” Julius presented the crucifix. They circled about. He got pierced by feathers. Julius held the key. He released the force. That was strange. Nothing happened. The harpy got blasted. Anna got up. “Do not do that again.” She told.

“Clockwork”, hidden docks. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The statues were immovable. Thomas leaned against the halberd. The angels seemed to weep. Julius had left him in charge. “Alright.” There had to be a way. He looked upon the machine. The mechanics were so monstrous. He thought about Eric Lecarde. “Iron Blue Intentions.” His ancestor had investigated a clock tower in 1917. Thomas put that aside. “Clockwork.” The area was built about the mechanics. “We have to climb up.” Marina gave him the look. “That is not a joke.” He explained. “We have to find the switches that activate the statues.” The little witch considered. “I guess so.” She shrugged. “Although we have to breakagain.” That didn’t stop him. The mechanism was a death trap. “Suit yourself.” There was a disc. Thomas was brought further up. The platform went up and down. He leaped for the catwalk. The tiny steamers were in action. “May you burn in Hell!” They released adeathly smoke. They were another memory item. Thomas snarled. He wasn’t his ancestor. Thomas decided to pay no attention. The knight hid his mouth and nose. He ran through to climb the ladder. “Blast you Vlad.” He got to wait until the dragon skulls relaxed. “I can wait you out.” The toymaker was crazy. The Bernhard family forged the mechanics during the ninth century.

Cells, “clockwork”. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

That blast was enough. “You almost killed me too.” Anna dusted off the costume. The priest looked ashamed. “The legends tell that Richter Belmont could channel through related items.” Anna shrugged. “You aren’t him.” She reminded. “You have to find your own way to hunt.” He acknowledged. “Let us continue.” She hid her smile. That was right. He held the key. Anna licked her lips. “Stronger we are.” She got to reload the rifle.“In the name of the Lord.” She had no idea of what might await in there. “God with us.” Julius turned the key. “Right.” There came a clicking sound. Anna inhaled. She aimed the gun. The Gypsy used the silver. The cells were silent. “To fear the unknown.” He made the sign of the cross. “So let it be.” The priest held the sword up straight. “Enough the suspense.” Anna put that aside. “Fight.” He was right. “I am ready.” She kept behind. “Then after you.” Julius opened the door. “Thanks.” She kept steady. “Get behind!” Anna aimed for the cluster. The swarm split up. The bats squeaked. “For the house of Belmont!” Julius doused them with holy water. “Alright.” Anna inhaled. “Alright.” She picked the gems. They turned into rounds of ammo. Anna put them upon the belt. “To hunt the night.” Julius was ahead. She had to follow.

“Clockwork”, hidden docks. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The machine room was huge. “Mother.” Marina climbed the ladder. She tried not to listen. The endless motion picked her nerves. “Right.” Thomas figured. He searched the machine. The little witch looked down at the statues. “To make the angels sing.” Marina left it behind. She touched the whip. “Leave me alone!” Marina ran along the catwalk. “Drown in water!” The bat settled upon her throat. Marina pulled thebubble shield. That gave some protection. “”Not you again!” The dragon head turned around. The skull head receded atop the pillar. Marina threw herself down. The heavy flames burned about. The witch inhaled. She hated that phenomenon. There could be no victory. Marina ran forward. She hooked upon the ring. The dragon head had to rest. Marina threw herself upon the gears. “Sweet mother of river!” The cogs were about to grapple. They might grind her into mush. Marina managed the step. She landed upon the platform. The niche was carved out from the mountain. Marina exhaled. The witch found the second switch. “Get ready.” Marina felt relieved. They got to pull it off. “To complete the puzzle.” Marina went on top. The button clicked in place. That was alright. She had to reach the bottom. That might be difficult. “Black water!” The bats went her way.

Living quarters, the vampire’s tower. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The water shot from the showerhead. Luna gasped. That hit her skin. She checked the timer. They only got so much time. The half-blood was quick to remove the soap. This was a luxury. Luna pulled through the long dark hair. Then she closed the shower. “That has to be alright.” The shower was built of black marble and glass. Luna picked the towel. She draped herself. She was long and lean. Luna rubbed her hair. She pulled to reveal the pointed airs. “Inferno.” Luna lit the fire. The heat roared up the chimney. “Excellent.” Her studies were paying off. She dropped the towel. Lunareached the armoire. She hid the portrait behind the uniforms. “Hark the Master’s voice.” She picked her outfit. Either way, Luna had to behold the painting. Forgive me.” This was a copy of the Belmont portrait. Brauner was the artist. Never mind. The picture showed lord Adrian and lady Sonia. They held hands in the heart of winter. “Destiny.” .” Luna sighed. They were about to kiss. This was forbidden. Luna hid the image. The lords of Shadow had decreed their destruction. She could not surrender to the fire. “Dracul.” Luna had pledged her fealty. She shook her hair. The dream of something better. That was impossible. Luna let the curtain fall. The gem burned. She had promised to serve.

The lake, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The mermen reached for the Lycanthrope. “Fire in the hall!” Iris launched the power scythes. They went through the water like a torpedo. “For Karack Warn!” The people followed after. The mer people got shot to pieces. Iris got pulled under. The Octopussy got her entangled. “Come.” The sea witch looked like an Indian. “Come to me.” She cooed. “ My arms hunger.” Iris fought to break Ursula’s curse. The bottom body split up into a multitude of tentacles. “Dagon!” She struggled for breath. “My father.” Octopussy pulled her even closer. “Join me.” Iris sobbed. “The tears of a princess .”She went silent. Claudia arrived. She shot the witch.

Inner cells, cells. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The monsters lay in ambush. Julius made a back-flip. The knight shut the door behind them. He got a crossbow. The others got armed. “Back in the USSR.” The goblins formed a line. That might be a problem. The freaks picked grenades. Julius tightened the grip. There were no zombies in chains. “The lycan’s are kept in prison.” Anna touched her crucifix. “They are.” The man wore a great overcoat. The scarf was the only spec of colour. “Traitor.” She spat. “You betrayed your own kin.” The heavy man snarled. The lady gunner turned pale. “Dracula’s curse.” Julius felt his charisma. “We might speak further about that.” He said. “Though first I have to get you out of your clothes.” He got serious. “Guards, process them.” The knights spread out while the goblins approached. Julius could see their expectations. “God with us.” He made the sign of the cross. “For the house of Belmont.” Julius proclaimed. They exchanged glances. “All who oppose the prince of Darkness must die.” The man-beast was not deterred. “You are such a dainty little thing.” The soldiers regained their composure. Julius held the sword upright. “You won’t have her.” The priest stepped in front. “I will fight the righteous battle.” He made the row of meteors to fall down. “You won’t take me nude.” The girl danced before the audience. “Take on me.” Anna created the starfield. She made the chain lightning strike. Julius caused confusion among the monsters. “Rise like a phoenix!”Anna retained her true form.The Sunbird flew for the monsters. Julius approached. “Animal.” His gaze fixed on the man-wolf. “Shape-shifter.” The beast dropped the overcoat. He shifted. “Cross a fear.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “There are too many of them!” Anna cried. The priest acknowledged. He would do his duty. “Fool!” The Lycan howled. “Behind you!” The wolf leaped to fetch him. Julius got the Stellar sword. “Preserve us from the evil One!” His teethssnapped together. “Let it be!” Julius presented the crucifix. His image was ablaze. The stench made him to vomit. “Stronger we are!” Anna danced. “In the name of the Lord!” She release the Star field. The man-beast went toward the ceiling. Julius reached for the belt. He threw the rocks. “Save us!” Julius made a glide to escape. The jump-kick might kill him. Julius dropped the book. The fireballs chased and destroyed. The man-beast threw other stones to block the onslaught. “Curse you Belmont scum!” He curled into a rebounding ball. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” Julius tried to impale the Lycanthrope. “Rest in peace!” The sword rebounded. The uppercut should tear him apart. “Take on me!” Anna danced. “Dinner is ready.” The man-wolf licked both his mouth and teeth. “The main dish is served.” The girl shuddered. She made chain lightning strike. “Let it be.” Julius retrieved the sword. The monster jumped. He threw the axe. “God with us!” The earth granted so muchstrength. “In Manos Toas Domine.” The stone axe went across. “Human scum!” The monster howled. The slide-kick hit him square in the chest. Julius gasped for breath. The ribs were broken. “Help me.” He cried. The pain was unbearable. “Lord of compassion.” He held the laurels. They restored his health. The man-wolf would tear his throat. Blood ran through the nostrils. Anna stopped the goblins in time. She was getting stronger. Julius got away. “That is clever.” The man-beast hurled the stones. “Let it be!” Julius threw the Shuriken like a boomerang. Maxim would be proud. The star got stuck between the shoulders. “Curse you human scum!” The man-beast curled into a ball. Julius retrieved the Shuriken. The bats left the ceiling. “Resiturgam.” The priest threw the vials into the air. They burned to ashes. “Rest in peace.” The monster threw a series of claw-punches. Julius kept on withthe back-flip. “God with us!” He countered with his arms on fire. The man-wolf got burned. He made the sign of the cross. Thomas would defeat him in the tribe tournament. The monster tried to bite him. “Let it be!” Julius struck his blade. Blood hit the floor. The beast snarled. The punch threw him aside. “Preserve me!” Julius struggled to regain his composure. Anna danced before the soldiers. The man-beast dashed. Julius presented the crucifix. His image might prevent the progress. “God with us!” Julius buried the blade in the chest. The beast stumbled. “Curse of Darkness!” He got hit within the stomach. The chain mail saved his life. Though the air escaped his lungs. He howled. The man-beast was unstoppable. The claws might shred him. Julius got behind. The fireball chased and destroyed. The force kept him up right. “Save us from the evil One!” The slide-kick sent him sprawling. Julius hit the floor. He groaned. That hurt. “Game over.” He smirked. The man-wolf picked him. Julius had lost the sword. The man-beast inhaled. This was not the end. Julius had to gather. The man-wolf might rip him to pieces. “Let it be.” Julius gathered his last remaining strength. The priest made a row of fireballs to fall down. The man-beast howled. He got burned to ashes. Julius felt no victory. He picked the crystal. That should restore him. Julius inhaled. He used the laurels. The man-wolf left other items. “The keys.” He picked them up. “Stronger we are!” Anna cried. “In the name of the Lord!” She danced before the audience. “God with us!” Julius ran forward. He found the sword. “Leave me!” Anna utilized with a series of force-kicks and punches. “The Lord is with you.” Julius made the sign of the cross. He was tired. “Help!” They called from inside the cells. “Release us!” The priesthad found the missingclansmen. “Please!” They pledged for mercy. “Then so let it be.” Julius went forward. “Rest in peace.” He opened the cells. “Thank you.” The group escaped from prison. “Karack Warn!” They picked the weapons. “So much anger.” Anna supported against the wall. “So much hatred.” She threw the braid above her shoulders. “That rests with the Lord.” They killed the guard. Julius drew sweat from the forehead. “Strange.” He blinked. Julius fell on the floor. “Lord.” The place went so dark.

“Clockwork”, hidden docks. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The tribe used the elevator. “For the princess.” Thomas hailed the people. “Hail. Thank you.” Anna was the next in line. “Julius released them from the prison.” She explained. “Right.” The priest really looked tired. “For Karack Warn!” They left to infiltrate the citadel. “Fine.” They got to follow. “You can’t swim.” The Lycan would find the princess. “Burn in Hell.” Thomas figured about Marina’s problem. The lake got polluted. They had to move the angels. The knight pulled the switches. “The seal is revealed.” Marina had noticed. “God with us.” The white wolf on scarlet stood out against the dull colours. “That is the crest of the family.” Thomas touched the crucifix. “Tell me about it.” Anna blew a kiss. “That was concealed.” The little witch exhaled. “I guess.” He frowned. “Sorry.” Thomas shook that away. “I forgot.” He sighed. “Everything changes.” The priestremarked. “Though it might be for the better.” Julius was right. ”I believe in you.” Marina touched his chest. “Right.” He bent to kiss her. “Beware of your thoughts.” The priest made the sign of the cross. “They might betray you.” Julius knelt upon the floor. “The curse of Darkness.” He whispered. “The Shadow rising.” The knight shrugged. “Stay back.” He told. “This is man’s labour.” They moved together.

The men moved the statues into place. Anna sighed. “Stronger we are.” He never got to rest. “In the name of the Lord.” The priest looked so tired. “Alright.” The angels beheld the crest. This had to work. “Let it be.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Relax.” Thomas smirked. “Trust me.” The seal got pulled under. Anna stepped upon the switch. That clicked in place. This was incredible. “Glory be You!” The priest exclaimed. “Good Lord!” Anna shuddered. The angels sang. “Mother of river!” Marina exhaled. “I know.” The music touched her heart. Anna bit her lip. The statues looked out the window. There was the lake. “Then let us pray.” The priest stood upon the platform. Julius keptthe prayer while rising. “Back to nature.” Anna touched the crucifix. “Back to battle.” Marina reached atop. She vanished from sight. The elevator returned. “Go.” Thomas told. The bats flapped about. “Let me hunt the night.” He got the rifle. “The world is not enough.” Anna relaxed. She was more then a pretty face. Anna picked her crossbow. The knight had reloaded with the wood bullets. “Fire in the hall!” She would kill the bats. “Here goes nothing.” Thomas fetched her. He put her on top. “Waith!” She protested. That was too late. “I won’t leave you!” Anna went for the ceiling.

Hidden docks, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

They returned to the hidden docks. Marina watched above the edge. “Sweet mother of river!” She picked with the pearl medallion. “We made it to expand.” The little witch got to shudder. The lake bridge reached across the water. “I don’t believe it.” The gunner breathed. “That is too wide.” Marina had regained her composure. “Nothing is ever impossible to the Lord.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Stronger we are!” Anna called. “In the name of the Lord!” She inhaled. “Right.” Thomas shrugged. He twirled with the halberd. “To hunt the night.” Marina tightened the grip. “Watch out!” Somebody moved. She got the whip. “Dark water!” The mermen landed upon the docks. Marina threw herself down. The mutants spat fireballs. “Take on me!” Anna danced to make the chain lightning strike. “You are so adorable.” Thomas breathed. “So you are.” Marina smirked. She would waste no time. “Come with me.” The little witch went upon the bridge. She held her breath. That was alright. Nothing changed. Marina exhaled. She kept the whip. Marina held it in both hands. The knight approached. “Right.” She acknowledged. “God with us!” Julius forged the angel sword. “Get down!” Anna prepared the spell. The mermen got atop. “Beware!” Julius shouted.He got the star.

Forest of Debias, Warakiya. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The snow lay upon the pine trees. Sylvia knelt in prayer. The lamppost looked out of place. “Glory everlasting.” She closed the service with the sign of the cross. “To serve the Lord.” Sylvia left to pray in solace. “You still serve him and his master.” This was impossible.“Away from me Satan!” This couldn’t be. “Lillian?!” She got the crucifix. “You are dead.” Sylvia gasped. “Were Dracula is, Death is his servant.” Lillian clapped. The lightning struck. That hit the oak tree. “This is unnatural.” Sylvia exclaimed. The nun looked pale as a ghost. “The power of the grave.” Lilian proclaimed. Her eyes shone like the moon. “The Undead.” Her cloak got stained with the grave dirt and blood. “We once served at the same church.” Sylvia would run. “For the salvation of souls.” She had to find the others. Daniela was right. She should never have left. The voice tingled like waterglasses played by a cunning hand. “Dracula’s Curse!” Sylvia was mesmerized. She waited in a state of lazed ecstasy. “Come.” The sister exposed her fangs. “My arms are hungry for you.” Lilian beckoned. “Leave me.” Sylvia moaned. “Pass me by.”The prayer was answered. Then Michael ran into the clearing. “You came for me.” That was a miracle. “Curse you!” Lilian released the bats. She shrieked.

Castle outer wall, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The clashes of waves struck against the foundation. They climbed upon the outer wall. “Impressive.” Iris admired. The hunters extended the bridge. That work to their advantage. She sent Adam and Charles to investigate the inner walkway. The guards became deployed. They occupied the gate. The humans were on the way. They might work like a distraction. “We have the upper hand.” The scouts had returned. “Alright.” Iris would climb the wall. “For Karack Warn.” They reached atop. Iris huddled together. She prepared for the combat. The white wolf snarled. “Get down.” Claudia hissed. The guards had noticed about them.

Entrance bridge, forgotten city. The 20^th. Of December 2098 A.D.

The lake bridge was made of stone. “Bless me.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Wandering the crystal blue.” Shanoa was right. The priest exhaled. “Let her Rest in peace.” The sorceress fought the Dark Lord in 1810. The priest put that aside. This was not the time. Julius brandished with the Thunder sword. He forged the Tempus blade. “Then so let it be.” The Medusa head was ground to dust. “The wheel turns.” Thomas smirked. He got the rifle. “That isn’t funny.” Anna pulled the trigger. I don’t like them. The gunnerpicked the silver. “This is not an act of hate.” Julius dismissed. “Let it be for remorse.” She healed herself. Marina brandished with the whip. She cast the flame spell. The archer got shot to pieces. “They come from the citadel.” Julius shouted. “Got with us!” The priest didn’t have to worry. They had noticed. The mermen arrived. Julius presented the crucifix. That gave a breather. “Curse you!” Anna shouted. “I am not a dish to be served.” Thomas laughed. “I don’t know.” He remarked. “You look nice to me.” Julius sighed. “Quit the flirting.” The priest exclaimed. This was enough. They got surrounded by monsters. “Alright.” Anna touched down her body. She got some nice curves. “A girl has to do what a girl has to do.” Julius shook his head. Attraction was not a sin. Anna got a way with people. She would be adored. “Let it be.” That was none of his business. “Let yourself be beautiful.” Anna used the war force. “Beware!”They tried to grab her. Anna danced while hurling fireballs. “Spawns of Gorgon!” Julius threw axes toward the Medusa heads. The mermenleft the lake. “Back off you devils!” The knight twirled with the halberd. The inherited weapon blazed with dark-breed energy. “The archers!” Marina cried. “They returned!” She struck to release the icicles. Julius dashed. He got to help her. The skeletons fired. Julius made it to rain with holy water. “Preserve us!” Time was on their side. The monsters were petrified. Thomas released through the gauntlets. He threw stakes to might impale the mermen. “Incoming!” Anna presented the crucifix. “Good Lord!” The bats settled upon her body. “Bless me!” She stamped the swarm. “Together we stand.” Julius made the spinning books to protect his location. “Alone we fall.” Marina opened herspell book to release the pages. The priest forged the thunder sword. “Freeze!” Anna used the time stop. That froze the monsters. Julius made the sign of the cross. He made the row of meteors to fall down. “Right.” Anna collected the gems. “Glory be You.” The lamp hang down from his backpack. “Our Father in Heaven.” Julius hit the candles. “Little mirror on the wall.” The witch threw an explosive powder. “I am to kill you all!” Julius made a back-flip. “Drop it.” The knight pushed forward. “Then let us play a game!” She leaped upon the broomstick. “I have a little thing.” Thomas bombarded her with garlic. The woman fell from the broom. She threw a wave of powder. “Burn in Hell!” He howled. The knight released a shining cross-shapedblast to consume the concubine. “Rest in peace.” She fell into ashes. Julius inhaled. The dark-breed picked the gems. “Look out for monsters!” Anna cried. The mermen tried to kill them. “Dark ocean world!” Marina cast the flame spell. The fish mutants burned. Julius closed the fight. He made the fireball to chase and destroy. The Medusa heads might turn them into stone. Julius made them to burn. “Take on me!” Anna danced before the undead. That was a waste of energy. She stopped them in time. “Stronger we are!” Anna turned to make the chain lightning strike. “In the name of the Lord!” Julius reached for the crucifix. “To rise like the Phoenix.” The girl emerged from the ashes. The music touched his heart. “You cannot escape your destiny.” Julius picked the sword. “The hand of God.” The Phoenix really was immortal. “Do not put your faith in such idols.” Someone climbed from the lake. Julius noticed the tentacles. “Octopussy.” Marina made it to sound like a curse. Julius presented the crucifix. “The children of the atom.” She laughed. She made a dismissive gesture. Octopussy was attractive. At least the human part. He thought of medusa. “I know you.” The little witch made it to snow. Uncontrollably. You escaped from the dark ocean. Octopussy threw her hair like an elongated screen. The spill oil caught fire. The bricks cracked by the heat. “Curse it!” Thomas got behind. She might boil his armour. “Do not fear.” Julius made a glide. “It will be good.” He punched the monster. The gauntlets lit up. “Black magic.” Octopussy embraced him in turn. She screamed. “Death by drowning!” The tentacles squeezed around his chest. “I warned you not to underestimate the deep power.” The spill oil was acid. “Into Your hands I commit my spirit.” The priest let go of everything. “Let it be.” His body began to glow. “To fight the righteous battle. The arts kept blazing. “Undertow!” Octopussy threw her hair. The locks were electric. Julius screamed. “I told you.” “Father!” The monster spread her arms. “Dagon!” She created a dark water maelstrom. “You can’t escape.” The meremen and tadpoles disturbed the surface. “Mother of river.” Marina hid in the bubble. “Coward.” Julius got the angel sword. “Lord of compassion.” He made Leon’s oath to hunt the knight. “He has forgiven all.” He made the sign of the cross. “He leads us and guides us into His Heaven.” Julius was not afraid. He would die. “We would be alright.” Blessed be. He was not alone. The clan had returned. “Im Manos Toas Domine!” Juliusreachedthe sword towards Heaven. “You cannot strike me!” She clenched both hands. The maelstrom would crush the lake bridge. “Here.” The wild was calling. “Have a treat!”Thomas got behind. “This will be good.” He fed her with garlic. “I promise you that.” Octopussy wailed. “Eternal youth.”She exploded.”The Lord is with you.” Julius sighed. “Right.” Thomas got stained in blood. “Let me help you.” Marina cleaned the armour. “Fine.” The knight smirked. “Let us fight.” Julius touched the crucifix. They got to find the Phoenix.

The music might break even a heart of stone. Thomas tightened his grip. “She is adorable.” Anna retained her true form. The Phoenix was the guide of the paladin knights. “Pinup girl.” The knight smirked. The bird landed in front. “Excuse me.” Anna had returned. “Lost magic.” She gave him the look. Thomas shrugged. “Leave it.” The priest adviced. “We got to hunt.” Thomas acknowledged. “You are my friend.” Anna blew a kiss. She bent to reload the rifle. “Fine.” The lady gunner was ready for battle. “Let it be.” Julius made the sign of the cross. The knight got his own weapons. They were right. He would treat her better. “Let it begin.” Anna had so much to give. She was like the rest of the Westenra family.“Almost home free.” He picked together. “We have to reach the citadel.” They got no more time to rest. The bridge lay empty. “Come with me.” Thomas felt like a trap was closing in about them. “Alright.” Julius was the leader. The knight growled. He watched for trouble. “Preserve us from Evil!” The priest was the first who noticed. “Fire in the hall!” Anna and Thomas both fired away. The bat swarmed from atop the forgotten city. He filled them with silver. “You bastards.” They were too many. “Thomas gripped the halberd. “Come on you devils.” He muttered.

The bats squeaked.Anna danced to hurl the fireballs. The gemshad replenished her magic. She force knocked the harpy. The woman spread her wings to release the pointed feathers. The halberd crushed her skull. Anna blew him a kiss. The arrows struck down around them. Julius made it to rain. She enjoyed. That felt refreshing. Anna got plenty of other jewelleries. “Lord.” She touched the crucifix. He would be with her. Anna fired the wave of pure energy. The Medusa head got shot to pieces. Anna smiled. Though There was no time to celebrate. . Marina cast the whirlwind spell. That confused the bats. Shehid within the bubble. “Beware!” The priest shouted. “Take cover!” Anna got to use the War force. The Medusa heads collided. They couldn’t take her. Thomas struck with the halberd. “Let it be.” Julius dropped the book. His fireballs burned the monsters. Anna had a breather. “Take on me!” She began to dance. The mermen leapt from the water. Julius collected the gems. The witch cast the frost spell. Her mystics froze the mutants in place. Anna left with the meteor dash. “Stronger we are!” The girlhad to force kick the archer. “In the name of the Lord!” The skeleton broke to pieces. The others got ready. Whisp howled. He released the triple shot. That saved her life.

The mermen got defeated. Marina gathered the spell book. They got to fight for each step. “Sweet mother of river.” She cleanedthe sweat of her forehead. The great gate was ahead. The guards got occupied. “Look !” Anna called. “There are the man-beasts!” Marina licked her lips. The foxes kept the outer wall. She struck to release the fireballs. “Dark ocean world!” The Medusa head got burned to ashes. “Dracul!” The soldiers came from within the citadel. The brown foxes wore baggy white trousers and short red jackets beneath their green tunic. The torchlight got reflected by the polished helmet and chest plate. Marina escaped the arrow. The archers kept strong. Anna went like a meteor dash. She hit the skeletons. “God with us!” Julius threw the vials. The holy water burned on impact. Marina struckthe Medusa heads. The guards brandished theirhalberds and scimitars. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas howled. The gate was locked. “We must continue!” Anna became the Phoenix. “Get up.” The knight instructed. Marina had to climb upon his back. The priest touched the feathers. They held hands together. The sun bird spread her wings. She sung before flying.Marina cast the fire spell. “Mother!” They landedupon the walkway. Marina exhaled. This was spectacular. She removed the bats.

Forest of Debias, Warakiya. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The wind blew snow from the treetops. Sylvia got brought down. The white got thrown about. Lillian feasted upon her blood. She kept screaming. Sylvia would become mad like Renfield. That was the first bite. Sylvia would not be her plaything. The vampire shook her hair. “Dearest.” Lillian flirted. “Embrace me.” The silver hair got caught by the wind. “Love me.” The front of her clothinggot stained with crimson. Sylvia moaned. She fought and lost. Lillian bit her neck. “What began in blood.” She licked her ruby lips and pearl white fangs. “Must end with blood.” She bent above her. Sylvia had become her prey. “Welcome, sister.” Lillian breathed. “To the pleasure of the flesh.” She smelt the bitter sweetness of old blood. The girl could scream. She would never become like them. “Silence you wench.” Lillian hit her face. “You cannot resist us.” They kissed. “The tribe of Evil.” Sylvia searched the snow. She fought the gaze. “I condemn you.” Lillian got the strength. “To the life as a living dead.” The Blood ran from beneath her breasts. “To an eternityof hunger, forthe human blood.” Lillian would force her to drink. “Stronger we are in the name of the Lord!” Celia proclaimed. They came. “I call you into the light tobe cast into the abyss!” Henry unsheathed the sword.

Great gate, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

Everything went up within the chaos and conflict. Iris howled. They got to unite the company. The wolf princess had to infiltrate the citadel. “Leave her alone!” Charles fought the soldiers. They tried to close the gate. “For Karack Warn!” They got no time. The fence went down. “Dracul!” The foxes got trapped inside the box. “God with us!” The hunters kept together. “Fire at will!” Charles released the scythes. They got to find the others. Iris knew of the cells. The specimen got kept in prison. “Come to me!” The man-wolf howled. She would summon her tribe.”For Karack Warn!” Iris would continue. She morphed into her true form.

They forced their way inside. “Let it be.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “You bastard!” Whisp snarled. The guard tried to kick him. The priest couldn’t help him. He got in trouble. The knight dodged his boot. He released the triple shot. “Little slut!” The fox picked a shield. He resisted the bolt. Anna blew a kiss. The guard looked confused. Julius impaled the heart. “Thank you!” They fought back-to-back. The skeletons fired. Anna danced to throw fireballs. They had to leave the great tower. Thomas made a back-dash. “You are dead!” He got armed. The guard brandished with another halberd. “Preserve us from the wicked One!” Julius cried. He forged the angel sword. “Burn you devils!” Thomas dashed. The stake pierced the heart. The brute got hit beneath the chest plate. He gurgled and collapsed. “Good Lord in Heaven!” The fox was dead before hitting the floor. “Get behind!” Cedric and Adam shot the soldiers. They held together. The foxes were trained fighters. The light went out. “To hunt the night.” The guards were unlike the red knights. No matter, Julius might still be killed. “Take on me!” Anna danced before the audience. “Stronger we are!” She made the chain lightning to strike. “In the name of the Lord!” Julius touched the crucifix. “Come!”They got to find a save place.

The “Barnyard”, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The guards didn’t follow them in here. Julius kept the crucifix. He really disliked this place. Hehid His image within the jacket. “This is a bar.” The customers were mostly human. “Come, let us breathe.” Thomas turned him toward the tables. He sat down with the friends. “Why are they doing this?” Julius had made a discovery. The black girls completed their act. “You know the answer.” Anna sighed. The sisters picked their articles. “They are like me.” Anna blushed. “They want to be adored.” The shifters must be twins. “Something is wrong.” The priest touched his sword. He felt unsure. “They are identical.” Julius would be ready. “Relax.” Anna whispered. “The barmaid is here.” Thomas caught her attention. “I want a round ofale.” He made the order. “And make it a triple please.” The redskin left to comply. The brown braid touched her shoulders. She carried an eagle feather in one ear. “Preserve us.” Julius had an intake. The necklace resembled the Sun falcon. She had to be a military recluse. The priest looked down at the table. “Hi there.” The twins had mingled about the audience. “Do you want company?” The white tunic were a contrast to their skin. Julius didn’t react. One of them reached to touch him. “Let me make you happy.” Something pressed his mind. “Be gone.” Julius shook his head. He looked up into the eyes. “Preserve me.” He breathed. Her gaze was dead like a doll. Julius felt so cold. “The soulless.” The order touched her heart. The twins were like puppets moved by the dark side. The lords of Shadow created their lot. “The lament of innocence.” The master vampires were to blame. “The curse of Darkness.” The soulless would be whatever they wanted to be. “Leave us.” He told. “I don’t want you.” The twins left the table. Julius felt much better. “Clever little witch.” Thomas smirked. “Marina found the wizard.” She sat down beside him. The redskin returned with the order. “The shadow of count Dracula.” Julius had no mind. The elvan girl got in an uproar. “Luna!?” Her friends got behind. “What is the matter!?” She jumped from the table. “Please tell us.” They begged. Luna shrieked like in pain. “Stay back.” The priest forced through the throng. “Please!” Other girls gathered around. “You cannot help her.” The Chaos built too rapidly. “Release me!” The sorceress fought to get free. “Saroya!” Ryma pleaded. “That is my friend” Luna must be touched by the power of the Dark Lord. “Twisted.” Thomas barely whispered. The renegade changed into the falcon. “Stronger we are!” The soulless twins reappeared. Anna leaped upon the table. “In the name of the Lord!” She force-kicked the black sisters. The girl got up. She gathered the force. The tattoos were blazing. Julius wept. “Forgive me.” He came too late. Ryma got burned by the fire. She was a witch. Though Luna got no right. “God with us!” Julius unsheathed the sword. He got no choice. The priest was a hunter. ”Theme of legend of Dracula.” Julius revealed the crucifix. “Human scum!” Saroya sobbed. The girlswithdrew from His image. They got to leave. “Devils of the pit.” He met the gaze. Luna smiled. She gave a shudder. Luna wore the uniform. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth.” The priestchannelled through the gauntlets. He forged the pyre sword. He made a glide. “Good Lord!” The priest got up behind. Luna made a challenge. He would face her. “Belmont slime!” Luna cursed. He threw the gold knives. She got impaled. That was a lie. “What is whispered in secret.” He recited the words. “You shall announce from the rooftop.” Luna screamed. The flying kick sent him sprawling. Julius gasped. “Die and be damned.” She smiled.“So let it be.” Julius rolled. The ground kick missed his skull. “You shall burn!” Luna threw the three fireballs. The priest got up to embrace the evil. His arms were on fire. He repelled the onslaught. “Not that way.” She gathered the four orbs. She was too strong. Julius made a backflip. “Let it be!” He recognized the electricity, stone, black hole and frost. She used them for greater protection. “You are not Maria Renard.”He mourned the tragedy. “I am not Alucard.” Julius would have none of it. “Then let us have some fun.” She giggled. “The same old song.”That was none of his business. “The redemption of the forgottensouls.” That should be his occupation. Then again, he could be flexible. “Let the festival begin.” Luna approached with the flying kick. He dodged. The strike might break his bones. “Preserve us!” The witch alternated with the arching daggers. Julius made another back-flip. Luna rolled and tumbled to might reach him. She really was quite agile. “Finale Toccata!” She giggled. That should be the end. Julius got beneath. He doused her with holy water. “Belmont scum!” Lunagot a mirror. “Good luck.” Shewent through. Julius was alone again.The bar gotempty. Thomas exhaled. The costumers fled.Only the youngwitches remained. Theygot toescape. Theblonde touched her shoulder. “Oh Elayne.” Saroya sobbed. “She was like a sister to me.” Elayne pulled her hair. The tiny blonde looked about to cry. Elayne reached forthe purse. Thecat beheld him through bright yellow eyes. The witch gave Saroya herhandkerchief. The third girl got the bottle. It was filled with liquid. “This is aquavit.” She told. “Thank you, Sancha.” Saroya drank. She cleaned her face. Elayne let go. They beheld him. Julius retrieved the sword. Sancha licked her lip. “What do you want from us?” She looked nervous. The brunette was an enchantress. Thomas was sure about it. The tiny teendressed like Anna. Saroya shuddered. “I can heal your wounds.” She offered. “If that is what you wish.” Hegrowled. The sluts wouldn’t touch him. “Be gone.” Julius told. “In the name of the Lord.” Julius presented the bread. Hegot to sanctify before the Communion. “Master!” They cried. “We crave the ancient power!” Elayne opened her Grimoire. “Beware.” Sancha gasped. “Anger, Hate and Agony!” Saroya proclaimed. “The Dark Lord is alive!” Juliusapproached. “Get behind Me, Satan!” He demanded. The Host gave the authority. “Glory to the Lord!”

The trio faded from sight. Anna sighed. This wasn’t the end. They would return. “Tomorrow.” Anna looked for the others. She made the sign of the cross. They were still in danger. “Traitor! You killed me.” The wizardcried. Marina reached a hand. The power gem blazed. “Become a nymphomaniac!” The counterforce sent her flying. The green light hit the body. “Rest in peace.” The magician was dead. Anna licked her lips. This was no victory. “Mother!” The witch got up. Her eyes were wide open. They gathered around. “Are you alright?” Thomas touched her shoulder. “Marina?” She couldn’t speak. She couldn’t breathe. Julius got the laurels. She inhaled. Her gaze looked muddy. “Kiss me.” Anna shook her head. “Save us.” She must be drugged. “Touch me.” No, that wasn’t the case. Marina smiled like a maniac. “Grope me.” They pulled away in horror. Marina would force them. “Yes.” She was strong. They kissed. “The wizard’s curse!” Anna recognized this form of sorcery. “Leave us alone!” She went wild. Marina absorbed too much power. She opened a channel. “To stay in Limbo.” The gypsy was a whore. Anna accepted her fate. The succubus thought her. This was the time. Anna would prove herself. She felt surreal. Marina was a nymph. “I hate you.” Anna cried.

Courtyard, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The palaces loomed high above the plaza. Marina sat on the fountain. This was a long chase. The man-beasts were united. She sighed. Thatwas not enough. The guards would find them. They would be locked away. Marina bit her lip. Be what may be. She promised to help them. Julius stood leaning against the wall. He got exhausted. The men fought the horde of zombies. The gnomes had bombed their efforts. They worked together. Marina was proud of that part. What should they do now? The white wolf got a plan. “I fetched this from the guard room.” Shetalked with Thomas. Why did they speak? Julius was the leader. “This is the map.” Thomas frowned. “Right.” The naiad shrugged. They got the map and compass. “Let it be.” The man-wolf rubbed her hands. “This shows were the clan is held.” Marina got interested. She could suppress the wizard’s curse. Julius made the sign of the cross. “Together we stand.” Claudia sighed. “Together we fall.” Iris gave him the map. Julius touched the crucifix. “I see.” The priest got serious. “We got to split.”Marina looked above his elbow.The knight growled. Marinahad to inspect the land map. He was right. “I agree.” Iris seemed to figure. “Listen up.” She called her group. “I know what to do.” This had become a war.

Terrace, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The lit candles got reflected by the heavy gold and expensive China. That shone on the silk to revealed the colours of the jewellery. “Werequest you to serve us.To completethe circle.” Luna stood beside the heavy-set table. The embroideries of black and gold revealed her. Shewas the captain of the guard. The witches knelt in chains. They bentbefore the council. GiuseppeDolorosa was the jail master.Though he didn’t look like it. Not in that costume. The three witches got whipped. Luna kept her hands behind her back. She knew the taste. Damien had certain demands. “As you wish.” Sancha got stained by the punishment. “Good.” Talia Polidori had no patience. “Good.” Her evening dress was crimson. “Hatred is the key.” The mask of black silkconcealed the upper portions of her features. “It shall be done.” Leonard Beltaine was the necromancer. “Excellent.” The hood left most of his face invisible. “Then the case is settled.” Leonard smiled. “You have our permission to make examples.” The vampire exposed her fangs. “Then do what must be done.” Her hair was spun of copper. “Sorry, madam.” They got disturbed by the page. “I have a message for you.”The councilhad expected the event. “Then tell us about it.” Talia encouraged. “The message of Darkness.”

Courtyard, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The bats flapped about. Iris gathered her authority. “I have to reach the throne.” The princess was afraid. “You are not alone.” Gregory told. “I swore to protect your family.” Harold bent before her. “I won’t forget this.” Iris had promised. “I won’t forsake you.” She would restore the forgotten city. “We have to help.” Charles, Adam, Cedric and Claudia exchanged glances. This was not a good idea. They got no choice. “We have to split.” Iris got to cut the speech. “There they are!” The knights returned. “Follow me!” They went in at least five directions. This was a mess. “Twisted!” They might be captured. Though she had to fight.

The crypt, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

This was like in the legend of Belmont.Claudia became excited. The priest removed his hood. The shoulder-length ice blonde hair shone in the torchlight. Julius was devoted. “In Manos Toas Domine.” The hunter made the sign of the cross. Julius unsheathed his sword. “Claudia.” He said. “You may go in peace.” She sighed. “This is my quest.” Claudia shook her head. “Iris told me to guide you.” She was the princess. Iris should believe in the humans. “I am not afraid.” Julius touched the crucifix. “That I am.” Claudia didn’t know what to do. “Then be what may be.” She was bewildered. Julius sighed. “Let us pray for salvation.”

This was it. Julius knew the danger. “The order of Shadow.” He was unlike Gabriel Belmont. The priest made the oath. “Follow me.” Julius began walking. The bats squeaked for blood. Claudia released the scythes. The animals got shot to pieces. Julius picked the gems. He left the candles. Julius leaped above the pit. The zombies broke the floor. Julius struck. “Save us.” The dead got burned to ashes. “The crypt belongs to the Sealchild family.” Claudia explained. “The monarchs are put to rest.” Julius exhaled. “I won’t disturb the ancestors.” They reached another tomb. “I don’t think you have to.” Claudia whispered. “Blessed be.”He shuddered. The remains of the skeletons lay scattered around. “The house of Belmont.” Claudia sniffed the air. “There is another hunter.” Julius felt cold. “Why would you slaughter my specimen?” She bent to investigate the corpse. “The lords of Shadow.” This was getting out of hand. Thomas was thechampion of the Lycan tribe. “Peace with you.” Cornell challenged Dracula. “The Lament of innocence.” Julius had no doubt. She looted the body. “This is treasure” Claudia found the power gem and gauntlets. The priest went beyond. “Preserve us from Evil!” The bats exploded. He doused them with holy water. The bones cracked beneath his boots. This was black witch craft. He stepped on the hand. That was ancient. Claudia caught up. She leapt above the pit. Julius was ahead. They reached another crossroad. “This isa maze.”

Claudia got the map. He possessed a copy. Julius made the sign of the cross. “God with us.” The chandelier fell to break the floor. “The order sealed this area.” Julius got away. “Germaine!” They got to purify this place. “We must continue.”Claudia gathered the force. She removed the shrubbery. They pulled her behind the curtain. “God with us!” Julius cried.

His arms were on fire. The priest burned the shrubbery. Julius dashed into the crypt. The cells got occupied. They were the living dead. The zombies slept in the coffins. “Rest in peace!” The scores of the undead beings rise from their graves in search of flesh. “Save us from Evil.” Julius forged the pyre sword. The bats came for blood. He made it to rain with holy water. “Karack Warn!” Claudia cried. “Let it be!” He dashed to keep up. They fought back-to-back. The skeletons broke through the wall. They threw bones into the air. Julius cried. The bone-thrower advanced. “Alright.” Claudia released the scythes. He made a backflip. Julius threw the shuriken. The throwercollapsed. Julius retrieved the item. The priest picked the gems. “This is for the tribe!” Claudia crushed the lot. She ran down the corridor. He cut shrubbery. The alcove was filled with stalagmites. Julius struck with the thunder sword. “Look out!” The harpy roosted atop the cave. She swept for the man-beast. Julius made a glide. The armour got reanimated. The knight threw the axe like a giant boomerang. “God with us!” Julius dodged. “Karack Warn!” She killed the harpy. That was no victory. The sisters arrived. They would pick her apart. The knight approached. Julius threw the vials. He staggered. “Save us!” The priest made the sign of the cross. The armour threw the axe. “Good Lord!” Julius barely sidestepped. He dropped the mystic book. The fireballs chased and destroyed. “Preserve us from the evil One.” The axe armour collapsed into a heap. Julius took the gems. She looked alright. Claudia had defeated the harpies. She went to investigate the crypt. Claudia leaped through the opening. The door shrieked on impact. “Look out!” Julius called. The zombies lay in ambush. Claudia threw the scythes. She got into hand-to-hand combat. “Wait!” The axe armour might cut her to pieces. “Come on!” Claudia retained her true form. Julius presented the crucifix. The bats swept for blood. He doused them with holy water. “Preserve us!” The thunder sword sparked with electricity. Julius had mastered this strength. The skeleton grabbed him. He pulled up against the wall. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” Julius would not surrender. The man-beast came from behind. Together they put them to rest. The priest exhaled. They picked the gems. Claudia kept up the tunnel. “Then so let it be!” “Save us!” Julius removed the shrubbery. The crypt was closed. The bats kept to the ceiling. The priest threw the axe. Claudia got above. He followed. The cells were empty. “Let it be!” The coffins were inhabited. Julius forged the thunder sword. The zombies broke out to feed. “Karack Warn!” Claudia used her claws for stabbing weapons. The corpses got torn to shreds. This was a prison. Claudia told the story. The skeletons broke through the wall to kill him. Julius staggered. They gathered to strangle him. He fought to breathe. “They are the elite!” Claudia howled. The trio used their bones to strike. “Hear the words of God!” The gauntlets were burning. They fought back-to-back. Julius forged the pyre sword. The trio was agile. They attacked with kicks and punches. Julius was not afraid. He stamped with the crucifix. Claudia might tear them apart. The bats left the ceiling. He made it to rain with holy water. The bats got defeated. They left him with several cuts and bruises. Julius picked the laurels. He managed to heal. Claudia went for the pit. “Preserve me from Evil!” The priest got above. They ran into another group of zombies. Julius would fight.Claudia challenged the knight. “Let it be!” Julius pierced the heart. He removed the head.

The money hit the floor. “Then into Your hands I commit my spirit!” They had to conquer. Julius got lifted into the air. The enflamed cross burst overhead. “Then so let it be!” They spread out. That was too late. They got burned. Julius left the price. “Stay there!” The door got closed by the Tempus crest. Julius got the great key. “This is a trap.” That didn’t work. “Then so let His will be done.” They got in trouble. There had to be a way. If only he might figure out before resurrection.

Vertical prison, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The door slammed shut. Thomas banged upon the hatch. That didn’t work. “Burn in Hell!” That thing was wrought in steel. “Relax.” Charles told. “That won’t help.” Thomas inhaled. He was right. “We cannot get out.” He touched the crucifix. The group should be together. Thomas dismissed. “Be what may be.” The knight moved ahead. Charles went like a shadow. The staircase led further into the mountain. Thomas climbed. He challenged the skeletons. Charles jumped down the staircase. He kept on climbing. The bat swarm chased for blood. The knight struck with the halberd. The dark-breed threw the stakes. The bats got burned. “Perfect.” He picked the gems. The bone-man was kept in prison. He escaped to throw bones. Thomas groaned. The knight released through his gauntlets. The skeleton got shot to pieces. The bats hung from beneath the staircase. They went like a swarm. “Save us!” They bit him. Charles threw the sickles. He staggered. The knight gavehim the cure curse. Thomas sighed. That was alright. Thomas only got this bottle. Though the antidote was worth every crown. They shouldn’t break the company. Thomas and Charles kept together. They got to continued. The bats whirled about. He looked around. Thomas felt like a trap was closing in about him.

Castle outer wall, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The harpies glared. Anna danced. She made lightning strike. Adam watched with glee. She looked around. “You are sure this is the right place?” Anna asked. The wolf shrugged.Anna put her hands upon the hips. This wasn’t the time. “I think so.” Adam checked the map. She blew a kiss. Then of course.He got to stare. Anna sighed. She climbed above the edge. “The harpy!”Adam howled. He wastoo heavy. Anna got the footwear tied around her neck. She forced kicked the harpies. They got to close. The sisters learned to show some respect. Adam told she got a long journey. She had no doubt. Anna kept climbing. They threw knives or the feathers. Anna didn’t care. She used the war force. Marina should havekept by her.Though the water gotpolluted. She kept moving down. The mermen jumped from the water. They couldn’t climb up. The tadpoles would have something else for dinner. Anna exhaled. She finally reached the opening. The water got poured out into the lake. Anna licked her lips. This really would be difficult. She got to try. Anna inhaled before she threw herself forward. She almost got pushedback out again. Shefoughtthrough the stream. Anna could breathe.Shewould do what she must. The sea life chased her. Anna had to move beyond the wall.

Abandoned mine, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

Everything was quiet. Marina shook her head. She had blacked out. The fall was almost fatal. She looked round. Cedric didn’t move. The man-beast lay with his face down in the water. Marina cleaned the sweat. The heat was unnatural. They were lucky who fell into thepond. They nayad swam to fetch him. “Mother.” Cedric was still alive. She pulled him ashore. Marina was glad.The pond wasn’t polluted. The elevator might return them to the citadel. That wasn’t reassuring. Marina got no power to heal. Shechanted. Cedric would be okay. This was wrong.She shouldn’t leave him. Marina got no choice. She sighed. The little witch retrieved her hat.That landed upon the stone floor. She reached for the power gem pendant. Marina shuddered. The passion was getting the best of her. The wolfwas kind to help her. They nayad blushed by her memories. She wasn’t like that. The wizard put the curse on her. Marina closed her eyes. She got to fight it. She brandished with the “Blood pain” whip. “Right.” Shetook a deep breath. Marina entered the tunnel. The swarm of bats got interested. Marina cast the flame spell. She reached the torches. They illuminated the fallen man-beast. She went through his items. Marina took the gem. The jewel might support her quest.

Forest of Debias, Warakiya. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They got a new mission. The message came after Sylvia went to pray. The horn-playing druid was somewhere in the camp. She made him second-in-command. Though the saint came and went like he pleased. Daniela got to speak with him about that. That would have to wait. They got other things to negotiate. The torch was alike a beacon.The poltergeist king appeared. “How can I help you?” He asked. The druid leaned on his staff. “Look here.” Daniela unfolded the scroll. “It is a map of the forest.” She explained. “I see.” The sainthad a look. Daniela sighed. “There came a message.” She put the helmet on her lap. “They want us to besiege the Laruba mansion.” She felt so unsure. “That is their fastness.”

Theatre, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

This was the theatre. Iris knewthis place. The stage was empty. Iris regained human form. She felt socold. “The order of Shadow.”This was the ghostly theatre. Iris was close to tears. “Sorrow.” The themebelonged to the opening scene from thatShakespeare play of“Hamlet”. The spectators watched her. Their eyes were empty. This was too macabre. Iris was alone. The others went to find the people. She inhaled. Iris was the princess. She gave the order. Something moved. “The ghosts!” Iris screamed. The audience where the macabre puppets. Shethrew the scythes. “Get behind!” The man-wolfwould burn the dolls. “Leave me alone!”

The zombies got burned. Claudia felt better. The gauntlets focused her supernatural strength. They returned to the crossroad.“Let it be.” Juliusmade the sign of the cross. He unsheathed the sword. “This is it.” Claudia retained her true form. “Watch out!” Julius threw holy water. She inhaled. That was close. The large ghost tried to possess her. Claudia tugged on her braid. The man-beast used her claws for weapons. They reached the bottom. The stair continued. “God with us!” Julius cried. He leaped to challenge the monsters. The bats squeaked. “Wait!” Claudia ran. She passed the empty cells. The skeletons hid behind the undead shrubbery.

They tore the green-life. Julius made a glide. He reached the alcove. “They are the elite!” Claudia screamed. He made a back-flip. Shebrokethe ribs. He attacked with the arms on fire. “I release you from the spell.” The priest moved against the dead freaks. Claudia kept behind. The enflamed cross cleaned the alcove. “Let it be.” Hetook the gems. “Alright.” Claudiahitthe lamp. She found thedrumstick. “Blessedbe.” They feasted. Julius provided the water. “We cannot get out.” Claudia breathed. He figured. “The left tunnel.” Claudia picked the leather chest-plate. “Follow me.” She told.They returned to the cells.

He blocked the undead. The skeleton would chokehim.Julius couldn’t breathe.“Leave him!” She arrived. Claudiacrushed the skeleton. “Thank you.” Julius rasped. He used the laurels.

Julius cast the axe. Claudia blazed with power. She threw herself among the dead. Julius met the bone-thrower. The dead man threw the bones. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” Julius trusted the sword. Theleader made a back-flip. Julius impaled between the ribs. “Save us.” He broke apart. Claudia removed the others. The bats would bite them. Julius doused himself with holy water. They burned on impact. He took the jewels. “Look!” Claudia looted the man-beast’s body. “How interesting.” The gloves fit beneath his gauntlets. Julius gripped for the Stellar sword. They got to continue. The cave went straight for a while. The crypt was closed. “Save us.” The attic got in place. “God with us!” Julius recognized the mechanism. “Then so let it be.” He struck the switch. What would it be? The zombies broke the floor. Claudia approached. The priest kept striking. The dead might eat her alive. Claudia howled. The fence was rising. Julius had decided. They got pushed to the limit. The gate clicked in place. Julius approached. The tomb was large. He focused upon the task. They reached the alcove. Claudia hit the bats. He checked the mechanism. “God with us!” This was a setup. Julius stepped on the switch. “We only got five minutes.” Claudia inspected the time board. “Burn in Hell.” She cursed. Julius told the truth. This was like the caves. Claudia shuddered. The countdown had begun.

Vertical prison, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They reached the bottom. Thomas went to investigate. The bats squeaked for blood. He threw the garlic. The cells were empty. “I hope that Iris didn’t mix up.” Charles sent him a look. “Drop it.” He made a grimace. The man-beast had become a warrior. He was desperate. Thomas knew that feeling. He got to fight. The corpse of a man-beast lay up against the wall. The knight sniffed the air. “He isn’t a clansman.” Charles kick the corpse. He got an idea. Thomas growled. He chose to be a dark-breed. The knight got a connection with their tribe. His friend had looted the body. “Alright.” Thomas shrugged. He went to climb the staircase. The prison was vertical. Everything went down. Thomas hoped he wouldn’t end up in Hell. He tried to shake the feeling. Charles caught up. He shot the bats. Thomas picked the gems. They got turned to rounds of ammunition. He reloaded the rifle. He found the cross bullets. ”Come on you devils.” The knight touched the crucifix. He would hunt the eternal night. Thomas kept His image tight around the wrist.

The halberd blazed with power. “Come on!” Whisp howled.

Forgotten cave, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The cave was quiet. Anna reached the surface. She shook her hair. Anna climbed on the rock. She felt like a mermaid. Anna got to smile. The bats got interested. Anna used the War force. The blue gem kept her warm. Anna danced to release the fireballs. The bats burned. Anna left the rock. She leaped into the cave. Anna got ashore. She had secured the map. “Alright.” Anna had a look. The torches burned low. She managed to translate the outlines. Anna sighed. She replaced the scroll. That wasn’t important right now. The mermen leaped from the water. They gathered to fetch her. Anna screamed. She danced to make lightning strike. That carved an opening. Anna would defeat the mutants. They vanished into the submerged cavern. “Fine.” Anna retained her breath. The cave went silent. She felt at a loss. Anna had to gather. The dancing girl reached for the crucifix. She exhaled. Anna had to investigate the cavern. The sound of the waterfall thundered behind. Anna went downstream. The tunnel grew wider. Anna stopped. The catwalk came to a halt. She got to jump. The bottom had become invisible. She bit her lip.Anna could breathe underwater. She wouldn’t turn back. “Stronger we are!” Anna got no more time. “In the name of the Lord!” The mermen had returned.

Abandoned mine, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The heat had become a problem. Marina touched her forehead. She gained a real headache. Marina longed for the hidden spring. She huddled together.The little witch clung to the ledge. The aquamarinesplintergave the upper hand. Marina inhaled.She might cast the frost spell. The bats gathered. She made them to scatter. “Black water!” Marina got tackled to the floor.The skeleton almost got her. Cedric had returned. He got a hard time. The man-beast got up. He mustimpale the bone-bag. Marina got afoot. She was sweating. The lust was growing. Marina got to resist the curse. That was impossible. She felt her body react. Cedric growled. He noticed. “Alright.” The man-beast tied her up. “Sorry.” He carried her above the shoulder. She felt like a bag. They might have fun. She tried to rub herself against his face. “Leave it.” Cedric had to explore the mine. He shot the bats while climbing. The heat was getting worse. She was afraid of the fire. Marina tried to wiggle. “Keep still.” Cedric snarled. “You wench.” He slapped her bottom. “You only make matters worse.” Marina felt ashamed. He was kind. She almost despised herself. The craving was in her blood. Cedric had no mind. “Hold on!” He held onto the cliff for dare life. Cedric was so brave. The bats swooped to take them.

Castle outer wall, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The man-beast howled his defiance. “Take him!” Luna kept tugging on the end of her braid. “Obey me.” The soldiers retreated. “Damn you!” The bun reached below her waist. She held the power. He was only one Lycan. Luna got at least these 300 knights. “Then so let it be.” Theirrebellion had consumed the citadel.Luna picked upon her distinctions.“Curse you.” She should leave this to the archers. The man-beast got ready for battle. This was not the end. Luna would take the responsibility. The council decreed they were to be taken alive. So be it. “Bring him to ground!” Luna demanded. “For the prince of Darkness!” She hailed the count. Luna knew she could be persuasive beyond her youth. The guards ran to execute her will. “Excellent.” Luna remained at the viewpoint. The combat kept on. She had to stay behind. Luna made aface. The candidate wished to secure his harlot. He couldn’t be the Dark Lord. The Lycangot forced into an impossible position. His stamina was incredible. He fought beyond defeat. “Aria of Sorrow.” This was aslaughter without meaning. “Alas you people.” Luna had begun to doubt about her cause. The man-beast fought on. Never mind. He got hurt. Blood stained the armour. That was no bother. He kept on with the battle. Luna got confused.

Theatre, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The stage got littered by their remains. Iris broke the macabre puppets. She barely survived. The lycan sighed. They were the marionettes crafted by the count’s toy maker. She shuddered. “The stones.” Iris embraced herself. “Of Grief and Sorrow.”She was close to tears. This was her home. “Lament of Innocence.” Iris began to fear about the citadel. They had conquered. The Lycan would kill Giuseppe. He was arelative, though the boyar brought evil to their lair. She got to gather. Iris went behind the scene. She would take the throne. “Leave me alone.” That belonged to her by right and blood. “Karack Warn!” Iris would claim her place.

The crypt, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They returned. Claudia bentupon her knees. This was the third time. She was breathing hard.She might enter the crypt. Julius went ahead. He pushed through the door. “Preserve us from the wicked One!” The priest made the sign of the cross. Claudia exposed the claws. “Resiturgam!” Julius unsheathed the Stellar sword. They had to continue. Claudia stopped. The chamber wasn’t that large. Though that was strange. The great statue flouted in the air. The smaller one kept it in limbo. They got to leap above. Neither of them wished to get stuck. “Wait.” Julius remained to study the runes. “Suit yourself.” Claudia reached the other side.

The statues wished to tell a story. Julius felt the magic. The great one absorbed the force. Claudia returned. “Get down!” Something flashed. Julius screamed. The dead hands got him. They drained his energy. Julius had to escape. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” He called. Julius staggered behind. “Punaguchi!” Christopher Belmont encountered the monster in 1576. The hands showed the finger. “Preserve us!” The iron ring was forged with pieces of red gold. Claudia arrived. The hand blocked her with a strange scarlet force-field. Julius advanced. He forged the thunder sword. The evil hand released a storm of red fireballs. “Rest in peace!” The ice might trap him. Julius threw the crystal. The explosion confused the spirits. Punaguchi made lightning strike. “Preserve us from evil!” Claudia grasped the dead hands. The dark force got channelled through her body. “Misery!” She shrieked. “No!” Julius cried. She had to live. “God with us!” He made the sign of the cross. This spirit became a weapon. He cast the homing balls. The hand got bombed. She collapsed. Julius forged the angel sword. Juliusblocked the spell. He threw the axe. The blood was rotting, that reeked of the dead. Punaguchi gathered the force. Julius sidestepped the Chaos shot. That rebounded. “Let it be.” Julius made it to rain with holy water. The spell might steal an item. Julius had no time. He threw ahoming fireball. They got burned. Julius was hit by lightning. He felt the impact. Julius presented the crucifix. “I release you from the curse of Darkness. Juliusstill ached. The priest bit together. He made a row of meteors to fall down. That made him to stagger. The dead hands drained his energy. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” Julius escaped. He took the gems. They reached. Julius made a glide. He came up with the sword in hand. Julius felt chills down his spine. “I fear not.” He cried. “Even though I walk beneath the shadow of the valley of Death. David, the king, composed that psalm. So it was told. The hand charged. Julius made it to rain with holy water. The dead hands got burned to ashes. Julius picked the ring. He put it in a purse. Julius soon forgot about the item. The priestknelt beside her body. Claudia was alive. He hurt. The priesthad to use the laurels. “Blessed be!” Julius removed the cursed state. Sheregained her true form. He went to collected the jewels. They replenished his energy. That felt much better. Juliuswished to figure about the statues. That could wait. Claudia opened the gate. “God with us!” The priest presented the crucifix. This was the way. Julius focusedupon the crystal. He made a row of clocks to fall down. “Blessed be.” The priest sighed. Claudia tapped his shoulder. “Let us be gone.” She told.

Cemetery, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They had reached another tunnel. Julius grippedfor the Stellar sword. This had become a war. This was not the crypt. Julius burned the bats. “Watch out for monsters!” She held the lamp. Claudia noticed about the spike-traps. They climbed down to the cavern. “God with us!”“This is theresting-place of theLycan tribe.” Julius touched the crucifix. ”Then so let it be.” They were a bit to the leftbeneath the entrance bridge. “The great gate must be up there.” Julius sighed. The clashes of waves struck against the citadel. “The cemetery.” He exhaled. They beheld the lake. “Rest in peace.” The crypt got carved from the mountain. “Resiturgam.” Julius approached. The mermen left the depths. Claudia gave him the lamp. The bats were awake. Julius moved into a defensive posture. He got to forge the pyre sword. “God with us!” Claudia slashed the mermen. She got ambushed by the zombies. He twirled. They didn’t belong to the tribe. “This is necromancy!” The bats went for blood. “Let it be!” Julius doused himself with holy water. They burned. He sighed. The swarm left the jewels. The zombies left their graves. She came from behind. They fought back-to-back. “Look out!” The mermen leaped fromthe lake. Julius hit the candles. They reached the entrance bridge. This part of the cemetery hadn’t been in much use. They got surrounded by the zombies. “They are the scores of the men that followed the Order of Shadow.” He didn’t want to know. Desmond challenged the order in 1666. He was the great grandson of Christopher Belmont. The priestpierced the heart. That was the only weak spot. He doused them with holy water. The cemetery looked out on the lake. Julius made the sign of the cross. The cave was a prison. “Miranda!” Claudia approached. “Rufus!” The priest touched the crucifix. “There you are!” The Lycan occupied the cells. Claudia met the guards. They spread out to shoot her. “Begone!” Julius threw the crystal. The bats exploded. The priest forged the sword storm. That impaled the soldiers. “Children of the universe.” The people cheered his victory. “Blessed be.” Julius had no mind. The man-beast got pressed against the terrace. “Look out!” The mermen leaped to take her. “God with us!” He ran. The floor got painted with fox blood. Claudia kept her ground. The elf came with greater skill. She tore the neck. Julius swallowed. He facedthe knight. Julius used a defensive strategy. The wolf threw the scythe at the neck. The priest hit the candle. The morning-star forged the platinum sword. That was fantastic. “For great is the mystery of faith.” Julius went to unlock the cells. “Preserve us from evil!” The shriek stopped their progress. Julius tightened his grip. The bats whirled about the cave. “Beware!” The zombies pushed through the floor. The priest was ready. Julius would fight. They reeked of the decay. Claudia had to vomit. He swallowed. “God with us!” Julius ran. The priest kept the Stellar sword. “In the name of the Lord!” He plunged it within the heart. “Rest in peace.” The zombie burned. Julius removed the head. He got the dagger. The stench was horrible. “Look out!” Claudia shrieked. The bats settled on top. “”Then so let it be!” Julius touched the crucifix. He got lifted into the air. The enflamed cross burned the lot. “Karack Warn!” Claudia threw a storm of sickles. “Good Lord!” The creature bat had arrived.

Vertical prison, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They reached another staircase. Charles went ahead. The man-beast blazed with power. Thomas reloaded the rifle. “Right.” They must be careful. “Twisted!” The bats flapped about. The swarm shrieked for blood. “This is the bottom!” Charles smirked. “Fine.” Thomas kept the cross. “We got work to do.” The cells were carved into the shaft. “The left the prison.” The statue towered above. He went for the fountain. Thomas had a drink. “She is beautiful.” The Sphinx spewed into the basin. “Marina would like the source.” The water was fresh. Thomas felt refreshed. The knight would a bath. There was no time. Beside it was too cold.

He shrugged. He thought about the guest house. He dismissed. They got to continue. The lycan breached the tunnel. He didn’t care to drink. The gate were rusted. “Blasted.” Thomas growled. The air was dry. That wasn't important. Thomas was no architect. His father was fond of such things. He reconstructed the castle in the forest. “Okay.” Thomas shuddered. He followed the man-beast. The light was bad. There was nobody here. He crushed the skeleton. The dust lay heavy on the floor. He snarled. This was another prison.

“Alright.” He had a look. Thomas shuddered. He felt like a trap was closing in about him.

Forgotten cave, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The harpy was dead. That was the beginning. Anna touched the crucifix. They lived in here. She had to climb. The harpies hated her kind. They tried to kill her. Anna touched her body. The tattoos covered her scars. She reached atop. The sisters stabbed her. The knives had almost impaled her. Anna danced to create the chain lightning. The window carving was marked with ancient runes. Anna was unable to translate them. She was felt uneasy. “Sorcery.” The little witch might tell more about them. Then again, Marina was not around. She sighed. The markings might unlock the other cave. She stepped upon the platform. Anna gathered the force. She changed into the Phoenix. Anna sang to the lord of waters. The Arch Angel would listen. He was pleased. The water was rising to flood the cave. Anna could breathe underwater. That was not enough. “Let it be.” She leapt from the cliff. Anna hit the surface. The mermen returned. That was a problem. Anna cast a magic spell. The tadpoles might eat her. The War force kept them at bay. Anna cast the time-stop spell. Anna swam past the monsters. The bottom was covered by the hard stones and the garbage. Anna guessed that came from the city. She found the opening. The mermen gathered around.

Abandoned mine, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The heat must be like in Hell. Marina got tied by the man-beast. The bats flapped about. She got time to analyse herself. Marina relaxed. The man-beast would fight. “Death water.” The dark wizard cast the spell on her. That was impossible. The tribe was protected. “Evil thrives in the shadow of the demon castle Dracula.” The house of Belmont warned them against the counts curse of Darkness. They didn’t heed. She wished they did. Marina wept. The tears ran down her cheeks. She had to make out. “Sweet mother of river!”She beckoned. This was the only way to prove her worth. Marina was unlike the gypsy. She was a prostitute. Marina fought to break free. The naiad would prove herself before the lycan. That was wrong. She was worth more than this. Marin focused upon herself. There got to be an answer. “Sisters.” Marina would find salvation. They reached a second alcove. Cedric put her down. They got ambushed by the dead. Cedric ripped them apart. “Cursed beings!” He shot the bats. Marina wiggled she got to fight. She managed to release herself. “Get up witch.” She told. “Walk abroad." Marina spewed the water. The aquamarine granted power. She smiled. The skeleton broke apart. They came to take her. Marina cast the frost spell.

Village of Ondol, Warakiya. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The storm was picking up. Kay bound the scarf tighter around his face. The bitter snow got whirled about the square. That was cold. Kay was freezing. The blizzard pierced hisjacket.He had to find his girlfriend. Gerda got taken by the order of Shadow. He prayed for her soul. Kay hid behind the corner. The weather wasn’t that bad. “Dracula’s curse.” That had to be. He made a grimace. “The endless winter.” Kay tried to figure. “There has to be an answer.” The oracle gave a riddle. “To search the dead among the dead.”Kay sighed. He didn’t get it. Kay leaned against the wall. “The village of the dead.”They might turn her intoa vampire. Hecouldn’t believe it. Kay dusted of the white. They wouldreturn home to the mountains. Kay pulled at the cap. He couldn’t stay. Kay went out into the storm. “I am coming for you.” He got to bend against the wind. Renate and Tobias thought he went crazy. He got to hunt. Kay would not give up. “Memory of Light.” .Gerda was alive. “Heart of fire.” She got to be. He closed his eyes. Kay’s thoughts went in circles. Never mind that now. Kay also got power. If he failed, if she died, Kay would show them the fire within. The gust almost threw him. Kay felt so tiny. The snow came to bury him. “Never!” He would continue the struggle.

Terrace, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The bats flapped about. They squeaked for blood. Iris hid behind the table. She was alone. The journey was difficult. Iris threw the scythes. She retained her true form. “Karack Warn!” The bone-archers got ready. This was her citadel. The harpies dashed her from the blind side. “This is my home!” They went unarmed.

Cemetery, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They survived the battle. Claudia snarled. The red knights and town guards kept her behind. “Curse you devils!” Claudia had to escape. The soldiers laughed. “Stay back.” They teased. “We shall make you happy.” They were immune to magic. “You got the witch’s talisman.” She breathed. Claudia kept up the resistance. She got to escape. Julius was alone. “Let it be.” He made the sign of the cross. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost.” Julius approached the creature bat. She got to help him. The priest fought for the Lycan tribe. The priest already saved her life. Claudia was relieved that the Belmont clan would aid them.

The monster came for blood. Julius struck. She cried. Claudia fought before the cells. “Beware!” she called. The creature bat tried to slash him. “God with us!” Julius made a glide. The beast meant to air-bomb the hunters. Julius threw the Shuriken. The witches might notice. The priest bled the creature bat. He leaped. The monster punched. He presented the crucifix. The monster shrieked. His image burned the flesh. The beast meant to slash him. “Let it be!” Julius made a back-flip. The bat flew into the air. He threw the vial. “Good Lord in Heaven.” The monster cried. That was an echo of Malice. The creature was burned. Julius hid his ears. The creature bat swooped to kill him. “A Light shine in the Darkness.” The platinum sword was on fire. “And the Dark comprehended it not.” This was the weapon of Desmond Belmont. He challengedthe evil count in 1666. Julius would prove his valour. “Blood of my blood.” The monster bit him. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” He struck. The creature bat staggered behind. Blood got stainedon the earth. Julius removed the curse. “For great is the mystery of faith.” The monster licked his wounds. The eyes blazed with rage. The priest hid behind the crucifix. The monster flew. He dripped with blood. “Preserve us!” The flurry of blood drops were like acid. Julius escaped. He channelled through the gauntlets. The flames saved his body. The creature bat returned. Julius leaped. The arms were on fire. His martial arts burned the monster. Julius landed in a ready position. “My heart to yours.” The creature pressed him against the floor. Claudia screamed. “Save us!” He lost the blade. The monster got hurt. The acid drops smoked upon the ground. “Let it be!” He got no choice. The crystal exploded. The monster got hurled away. Julius was left gasping upon the earth. The beast got up. Julius made the sign of the cross. The creature bat collapsed into a heap. “Rest in peace.” The monster almost killed him. The priest felt so broken. “Glory be You.” Julius crawled to pickup the orb. The crystal ball lit his hand and body. Julius got restored. “Our Father in Heaven.” The priest went to collect his weapons. “Die you Belmont scum!” That was like he feared. “Thou shall not suffer a witch to live!” The evil sisters had returned. She passed overhead. The other witch jumped off to strike with the broom. “Preserve us!” Julius made a back-flip. The sisters might inflict a cursed state. He would keep the promise. The explosion hit the rock. “Save us!” That was ancient devilry. Julius ran to open the cells. The prisoners joined the fight. “Hark, his Master’s voice!” The witches performed their ritual. They conjured the dead. The bats whirled from high above. The Lycan knew how to fight. “Claudia!” He got to find her. “Stand were you are!” The witch demanded. The soldiers held her in captivity. “You shall obey.” She gloated. “The strength of the Belmont is enough.” Julius kept still. She was voluptuous. The raven hair almost concealed the emerald green eyes. The cloak hang like a shroud. “Come.” She reached her gloved hands at him. “The ring.” Julius licked his lips. The green stone sparkled around her little finger. “This is not the end.” He muttered beneath his breath. “You whore of Satan.” The priest made the sign of the cross. “I know who you are.” Julius approached his enemy. “Though Iam a servantof the realm.” The priest spoke proudly, though he was afraid. The tall witch fought for control. “Bastard!” She was furious. “You cannot resistin the name of the Lord.” The priestbuilt upon his faith. “We have the upper hand.” She pretended to be sweet. Julius could see beyond the obvious. “Leave her alone.” The soldiers exchanged nervous glances. “Then what is yourcraving?” The witch acted like a spoiled child. Julius was so tired about their games. “Leave in peace.” She desired the sorcery. “She dies.” Claudia’s life was at stake. “Punish the wrongdoer and help the poor struggler.” The witch had become an inhuman fiend of strong magical power. “Let it be!” The light magic pendant shone bright. The light pierced from her eyes and mouth. The witch got burned into a crisp. The soldiers fled. “Nice.” Claudia smirked. She got to fight. The other witch cast a death spell. “God with us!” Julius pierced her body. “So let it be done!” The blade got stuck between her shoulders. The witch was dead. She slid off the sword. “Sleep.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “May you have another dream.” She got consumed. Julius was a priest. The souls of the fellowman should be his business. That was too much. “Let it be.” Julius knew he was alone. He looted the corpse of the Lycan. “Glory be You.” Juliusfound the claw gauntlets. “Our Father in Heaven.” They might grant an edge in battle. Julius would use them to might climb the wall. “For great is the mystery of faith.” He sighed. The fight was over. Claudia would help the clan. “Alright.” She told. “That is enough.” Claudia held the bottle. “Thank you.” The Lycan inhaled. Claudia put the flask into a purse. The she-wolfgot healed. Though the tunic was stained with blood. The Lycan got afoot. “Clever.” Rufus had to admit. “The queen rewards her allies.” The priest let it pass him by. “That is the shadow of greed.” Claudia revealed about their wite wolf princess. “Let us fight!” She called. “Karack Warn!” They cheered. “Death to the order!” Julius touched the crucifix. “Power without love.” They planned for conquest. He turned to leave. Julius should solve about the statues. “Wait.” Claudia reached him. “You have to lead them.” She shook her head. “Iris told me to guide you.” Claudia retained her true form. “I won’t leave you.” He was glad. “Bless you.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “They might actually restore the citadel.” Claudia remarked. The cemetery went quiet. The Lycan climbed for the gate. That was fine. This was the opening. Claudia already got ahead. He touched the blade. “Then so let it be.” Julius got to find the dark magic pendant. Though where could it be? The priest had to figure. ”Let us be gone.” Her voice pierced the darkness. “Right.” Julius got ready. They got to hunt.

Deathly waterfall, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The water looked black and unhealthy. Anna didn’t dare to swim. The witches taunted her. Anna had no time for posing. The death dragon got resurrected. She didn’t expect this curse. The corpse polluted the spring. The knees and claws might be used as platforms. “Bless me.” The zombie couldn’t fly. That was not important. He was breathing flame. “Stronger we are!” Anna would be no damsel. “In the name of the Lord!” She would not be eaten. Anna dodged the breathing. The skull might be the only weak spot. The dragon released a storm of fireballs. The Star field saved her life. Anna leaped up to strike the head. Dracula’s wenches winched. That served them right. The combo of enforced knocks and kicks threw the head sideways. Anna reached the leftmost claw. “Leave me alone!” She was tired after climbing the waterfall. The zombie attacked without mercy.

Marina felt taken aback. The heat was a problem. She didn’t feel alright. Cedric was waiting. He shot the bats. Marina might climb upon his shoulders. “Mother of river.” She got to make it. Marina was not a child. Marina bit together. There was another eruption. Marina licked her lips. She went to join her friend. Marina had to remember. Marina swallowed her desire.

Throne room, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The gates were closed. Iris moved the curtains aside. This was the great hallway. She sighed. Iris had come a long way to reach this corridor. The chandeliers were the only source of light. The huge stain-glass windows revealed nothing then the cave outside. “Hail from the past.” Her mother once sat in throne within thecitadel. Now there were nothing then dust and decay. Iris got a bad feeling about this. The silence had become foreboding. “This is my birthright.” She would be queen. Iris removed the other curtains. She stopped. This was the throne room.

She shrugged. “The stairsare broken.” Claudia sighed. “The place is sealed.” He acknowledged. “We have to climb.”That was difficult. He got to use the claw gauntlets. “Going up.” She hid a smile. Julius inhaled. They got above the statues. He struggled into the crypt. The lamp still burned. The candles were lit. This was the broken stairway. He climbed the wall. The bats went down. “Leave him alone!” Claudia shot at the swarm. The harpy swooped to throw her feathers. Julius threw the homing ball. “Keep on climbing!” Claudia shouted. “I take the monsters!” The priest made a row of fireballs to fall down. He burned the harpies. They kept climbing. The foes continued the chase. Julius finally reached atop. The cave went into the mountain. “This is a tomb.” Claudia gave no answer. The harpies gathered round to strangle his friend.

The little witch broke the skeleton. “Mother of river!” Marina was a nayad. They had reached the bottom of the abandoned mine. “Karack Warn!” The Lycan removed the skeleton. There was nothing here. The statues encircled the magma. She made a grimace. “Dark ocean world!” The sculptures were so ugly. Cedric kept the lamp.

The tribe would press them to leave the forgotten city. Luna sent the message. “Attention.” She announced. “Collect the prisoners.”Luna became his bride. “Show them no mercy.” Damien Frost might become the Dark Lord. “Their world shall burn in the fire of industry.” She knew about the truth. “Hail the count!” Luna unsheathed her short-sword. “Go to war!” The knights and soldiers brandished their weapons. “Excellent.” They must be kept in order. Luna would do her duty. The battle was lost. They could not continue without reinforcement. The vampire hunters had forced the advance. “Wipe them out.” Luna disliked the call. “Everyone of them!” The knight tried to encourage. “Cursed be!” The group broke apart.Luna sighed.

The chamber wasn’t empty. Iris was not alone. The order had arrived. She beheld her cousin. The embroidered white and red jacket hung on the green tunic like a short cape.She exhaled. His heavy gold pingot closed beneath the laces. Giuseppe had become the jailer of the order. The white shirt sleeves couldn’t conceal his muscles. Iris snarled. He was the hangman. Giuseppe met the gaze. “Welcome.” Talia Polidori appeared beneath the stain-glass window. She was so beautiful. Iris felt no attraction. She would not be a lesbian. “We are honoured.” Talia smiled. “That you will join us.” The necromancer laughed. “Come.” He told. “To Hell.”

The priest pulled up the hood. “Alright.” Claudia shrugged. The platinum sword burned in the torchlight.The Lycan inhaled. They went to battle the dead. Though nothing happened. The cave was quiet. “Preserve us.” Julius reached for the crucifix. They passed a row of coffins. Claudia growled. “God with us.” The priest had to try the key. Claudia still beheld the gargoyle statues. “The door is locked. Julius remarked. She gaveno answer.”What is going on?” The bats swept for blood.

Theswarmgot scattered about. Juliuspresented the crucifix. “Preserve us from the evil One!” The coffin broke. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” The zombies hid within the caskets. “Julius!” Claudia cried. The scores of undead beings rose from their graves in search of flesh. “Leave her alone!” Julius shuddered. “God with us!” He made a glide to attack the undead. Hethrew the Shuriken like a boomerang. “Rest in peace!” Julius got to prepare for combat. The stench almost made him to vomit. Claudia got involved. She used her claws for weapons. Julius sighed. She survived. The zombies might tear him to pieces. They fought back-to-back. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” They got to defend themselves. Claudia retained her true form. The priest brandished with the sword. They got to conquer. “Blessed be.” Julius gasped for air. He leaned forward. The fight was over. “That was nice.” They exchanged glances. “They left a treasure.” The duo beheld the pile of gold and gems. Julius exhaled. He took the jewels. They would replenish his energy. They came to bite him. “Bless me!” The bats settled for his neck. Julius had to dose himself with holy water. They squeaked. “There are too many!” Julius presented the crucifix. “Let His will be done!” The gargoyle leapt spit the fireballs. Claudia got forced against the wall. “Burn in Hell!” She somehow made it to rain with scythes. “The Lord is with you!” Claudia blew a kiss. She leapt to slide along the floor. “Alright.” Julius sighed. He made it to rain with holy water. The priest had a shudder. Julius felt so cold. The piles of bone and armour were building up. Julius reached for the crucifix. The bone knights brandished with their swords and shields. “Dracula’s curse!” This was the moment. “Preserve us from Evil!” He would hunt the night. The bats came to bite him. They might inflict a cursed state. Julius presented the crucifix. That made them to scatter. “Then so let it be!” The skull knights approached. “God with us!” He charged through the gauntlets. Earth was his weapon. The meteor chased and destroyed. “Oh my God!”That was a mistake. “Save me!” The skeleton knights hid behind their shields. “There is no glory or greatness in war.” The priest got to dodge. “There is only redemption.” The bone knight used the shield like a battering-ram. Julius made a back-dash. “Let it be.” The fight intensed.Julius presented the crucifix. “Hear!” He shouted. “The words of God!” The priest stabbed up through the mail and tunic. The bone knight staggered. “Rest in peace!” The other knight struck with the sword. Julius remained tall. His arms got on fire. “Let it be.” Julius blocked the assault. He would make them burn. The knight was too strong. He got hit. The priest fought the pain. The skeletons marched. The band would kill him. Julius inhaled. He threw the daggers forward. The knight got away. The brother in arms struck the sword. Julius made a back-flip. “Stronger we are in the name of the Lord!” The priest hurled the axe. The gargoyle got crushed against the floor. Julius relaxed. He got no time to collect the gems. He threw the vial. “Bless me.” The bats got soaked with holy water. The knight got burned. Julius dashed. He might defeat the dead. The other knights got in front. He threw the crystal. The skeleton got crushed to pieces. Julius beheaded the knight. The undead gathered to strike. Julius threw the axe. That was the end. The knight broke apart. Julius exhaled. He collected the gems. “Glory be You.” The priest felt much better. “Our Father in Heaven.” He sighed. There was no time to rest. Claudia got pressed hard by the stone gargoyles. “God with us!” Julius went for the battle. The gargoyle broke from the combat to land in front. “Save us!” The priest threw himself down. The barrage of fireballs missed him by inches. Julius got up. He struck with the platinum sword. The sculpture leapt above the assault. Julius made a glide. The pesky sculpture stabbed with the claws. Julius hurled the crystal. The gargoyle shrieked. The gem shot him to pieces. There were three of them left. “Die you animated bastards!” Claudia howled. The scythe ripped the monster. The gargoyle got torn apart. “Watch out!” Julius released the sword storm. Claudia huddled together. The gargoyles tried to escape. “The Lord preserve us!” The monster got blasted into oblivion. The other escaped. “Right.” Julius picked the crystals. That was not the end. Julius doused himself with holy water. The bats squeaked before they burned. That was the last of the mammals. The final gargoyle kept spitting fireballs. “Faith is my armour.” Julius proclaimed. He made the sign of the cross. The priest made a back-flip. The beast was a shooter. He got a nice aim. “Then so let it be.” Julius forged the fairy sword. He got to repel him. Julius made the fireballs to rebound. He threw down the book to summon the attack. “Good Lord!” The gargoyle was too strong. The onslaughts clashed and exploded. “Your time is over!” They forgot about Claudia. The spinning scythe split his skull. “The Lord is with you girl.” Julius presented the crucifix. The gargoyle got shot to pieces. Claudia picked the crystals. The chest fell out of thin air. That got dumped upon the floor. Claudia was the first to gather. She bent to open the box. “I think we might continue.” She found the key. The lycan gathered her hair into a braid. Julius watched her approach. The priest beheld her. Claudia had become a vampire hunter. She opened the gate. Julius got ahead. He bent to retrieve the mystic book. Then he stopped. “Lead us and guide us into Your Heaven.”They reached the den. Julius touched the crucifix. The great gate was closed. Julius frowned. He felt like a trap was closing in about them. “What do we do?” Claudia asked. “What can we do?” Julius had no answer. “I don’t know.” Julius felt at a loss. “I believe in you.” Claudia remained steadfast. “Thank you.” He sighed.

They were waiting. “Leave us.” The lady told. “We do not desire you tonight.” Anna smiled. There were nothing to gain. “Things change.” She released the prisoners behind the waterfall. “You might consider.” Iris looked more regal in this surrounding. “Alright.” Anna exhaled. “The treasure belongs to your tribe.” The dragon was truly dead. “Who are these people?” The necromancer sat beneath the throne. “Gypsy hore.” He hissed. “The order of Shadow.” She figured. “The game of thrones.” They ruled the citadel. “The tribe of evil.” Anna inhaled. “I mourn your loss.” She told. “”Lament of Innocence.” Anna let be the tear. “You have lost.” They deserved her pity. “The eternal night has ended.” Anna proclaimed. “Dawn is coming.” She relaxed. “The people will regain their city.” The Lycan spread to release their specimen. “You have to run.” Anna smiled. “Or you will fall.” The Lycan fought to conquer the tower.

Marina cast the flame magic. He absorbed the flow. The vileHellspawn twirled with the tail to fire repeated laser blasts. “Sweet mother of river!” Marina threw herself high into the air. She created the water pillars to reach the other side. The little witch got a plan. She dodged the rocks. Marina used the bloodwatch to stop him. “Fly, my friends, fly!” She conjured the fairies. They sapped from the tail. That was power. Marina screamed. “Death water!” She got aflame. The demon lord resurrected broke the spell. He flailed with the claws to kill her.

This was the edge of the forest. Renate beheld the hunting path. Tobias bentdown beside her.The soldiergot to reload his shotgun. “We must be lost.” The Centaurs showed the way. Renate was unsure.This couldn’t be the right place. The village of Cordova wasn’t far ahead. She unsheathed the blade. They would go north to reach the Laruba mansion. “Eternal night.” Henry hissed. “Get off the road.” The soldier got his gun. Renate exhaled. They got to fight. The seer got prepared herself. She hid behind a tree. “Let them pass.” Virginia whispered. “”They must not see you.” The raven was sent by Tholin. “Alright.” Renate acknowledged. The sorceress remained in place. The trio met upon the crossroad. “Goddess.” She shuddered. She disliked the sight. “They are the living dead.” Tobias muttered. “That is not possible.” Henry whispered. “There is one.” Renate breathed.“A Lycan, a vampire and a necromancer.” Tobias tightened his grip. “Be quiet.” Henry grasped his shoulder. “They won’t stay.” The huntsman cursed beneath his breath. Renate rolled her eyes. She shook her blonde hair.She kept on watch. Henry was right. “We should leave this place.” Tobias announced. “Alright.” That brought no trouble. “I can see the invisible.” The group went into the forest.

This was Agony. “Yes.” Talia answered the call. She was ecstatic with pain. “My master.” Talia received her award. She split into a swarm of smaller bats. “You devil!” Iris screamed. The swarm would drill her against the floor. “Excellent.” The necromancer beheld the battle. The dark wizard made no move, did no sign. “You are dead.” The Lycan snarled. “You rot.” She threw herself beneath the bats. Talia reformed to stab with her claws and dagger. “Lucifer’s concubine!” Iris shot her in the face. The vampire turned into a coil of mist. “Hellfire!” She returned to answer the challenge. The blue bat-inhabited fireball split in three.

The crypt, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

This was the den. Claudia charged the force. The great gate was close. “We must continue.” Julius looked for the ceiling. The bats squeaked for blood. He doused them with holy water. Claudia picked the crystals. “God with us.” The priest left the lamps. “Walking on the edge.” He went to search for the switch. Claudia felt much better. She got to help him. “Beware!” The bone knights got revived. They carried brown tunics and chain mail above the shirt. Claudia licked her lips. The hood and helmet revealed the face. “From Hell!” Claudia fired. The bats whirled about. That was a problem. “Let it be.” Claudia was not alone.

The bats squeaked. Julius shuddered. “That is the beginning.” He presented the crucifix. They found the switch. That didn’t change anything. The knights approached. “God with us!” He dashed. They struck with the shields. He got pushed behind. “You must kill the bastard!” The harpies swooped to take him. Claudia fired. He got to defend himself. The knights hid behind their shields. They went for the Lycan. Julius made a back-flip. “Then so let it be!” Julius threw the three daggers forward. They got buried between her breasts. “Rest in peace.” The harpy was dead. The bone knights had gathered about. Julius made the sign of the cross. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” He threw the vial. The holy water splashed and burned. The dead got caught in the wave. Julius exhaled. They picked together. The harpy spread her wings. “LØet it be!” The blonde released the feathers. She picked him. Julius threw the enflamed axe. The bone knight got crushed to pieces. He got a better view. The Lycan ripped the knight. The bats kept her occupied. The knights retreated. “Human!” The harpy would stab him. Julius forged the fairy sword. The tiny blonde sent him flying. “Good Lord! Save me!” He cried. “For I am perishing!” The enflamed cross appeared above. He was glad. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” The fire cleansed the crypt. Glory be You” Julius got put down. “Our Father in Heaven!” He took the gems. “Fight the righteous battle.” The last knight approached. “Watch out!” Claudia howled. The bats tried to bite him. “Right!” She fired. “Get away!” Not even Claudia could break the curse. “This is black witchcraft!” Julius made a glide. His hair stood on end. The priest got angry. “Save us!” The knight struck. He must be careful. Claudia smashed her claws. The skeleton got taken aback. “Let it be!” Julius impaled him upon the platinum sword. “In Manos Toas Domine!” He staggered behind. The knight used the shield like a battering-ram. Claudia arrived. He gasped. She was strong. Claudia released her energy. The skeleton struck with the end of the sword. Claudia howled. She got broughtto ground. The harpy came to support the undead. Julius removed the head. The skeleton struck his blade. Julius barely dodged. The Lycan gathered. She shot the knight. He collapsed. They shared the gems. “For the road is long.” Julius went to strike the switch. The gate began to rise. “Beware of those who wander beneath the glory of the eternal night.” Julius recited. The goblins revealed themselves. They created another formation. “Twisted!” The gnome held the shield. His brother climbed on top. “Fire in the hall!” Claudia warned. They protected the thrower. They survived the explosion. The gate came crashing down. “What can we do?” Claudia asked. She licked her lips. “I could try to slide to surprise them.” She inhaled. “You have to keep striking.” Julius frowned. The goblin troop kept the passage. He reached for the crucifix. “If only there were a third member.” They had to attack. “Right.” Claudia arched an eyebrow. He got an insight. “Let it be.” The grip tightened on His image. “Hark the words of God.” Claudia sighed. “Blessed are those who believe without seeing.” That didn’t matter. Julius knew this was the way. He got hidden powers. “Then so let it be.” He cast the clone summon. “You have to strike the switch.” The figure would do his bidding. Julius had to sigh. “You must make it to click in place.” The clone went to work. “Alright.” The fence began to rise. Julius felt dizzy. He managed to gather. The priest knew what to do. Claudia got in action. She went beneath the gate. “God with us!” Julius got to support her. The Lycan dodged the grenades. The top goblin tried to impale her. He blocked the spear. “Leave her alone!” Julius threw the three vials. The gnomes hid behind the shield. “Save us!” The holy water burned on impact. The goblins kept the offence. “Karack Warn!” She howled. Claudia got up. She hurled a series of sickles. The troop got hit. She shot beyond the shield. The bomber got shot to pieces. “Watch out!” The spearman trusted the javelin. “Preserve us!” He might kill her. Julius charged through the gauntlets. The fireball searched and destroyed. The shield man got burned to ashes. “You human bastard!” The bomber continued to throw. The Lycan dodged. The fence clicked in place. The clone had vanished. That didn’t matter. “God with us!” Julius forged the pyre sword. The troop tried to block him. He cut them up. The goblins were dead. Claudia breached into the other cave. He picked the gems. “Alright.” Julius got to hurry. That was difficult. He got weary. The summoning spell drained his power. The priest got to relax. He wouldn’t cast that again. “So let it be.” The Lord would decide. “Evil thrives beneath the shadow of the demon castle Dracula.” Nobody might tell the truth. Julius touched the crucifix. He sighed. The priest got to continue. “Preserve us.” He breathed. They reached the arena. He got a bad feeling about that. The chamber was oval in shape. “Then so let it be!” The Lycan tribe were kept in theprison. “In Manos Toas Domine!” The Gorgon occupied the centre.“Is that Stenos, Euryale or Medusa?” The Lycan asked. Julius couldn’t tell. That was not important. “Release me!” Claudia got kept in chains. “Bastards!” The skeletons caught her. Claudia got before the throne. They stripped her naked. Julius made the sign of the cross. “Let it be.” There was a great cave beneath the platform. There lay another body. “The evil lurks within the shadow.” Julius recognised the concubine. The light was bad. Either way, he got to reach the spot. “Right.” Hemustsave the prisoners. “Then let the game begin.” Julius could be flexible. Somebody had occupied the inner cell. There was time. “Good Lord !” Julius got the sword. “Into Your hands I commit my spirit.” The soldiers gathered about. “Kill the Belmont!” The orcs were excited. “”Human scum!” They left the other caves. “God with us!” Julius bit together. “To fight the righteous battle!” The priest got in trouble. “Alright.” He sighed. “Then so let it be.” Julius got to fight.

The Lycan had to release the captors. Thomas leaned up against the wall. The cells were dirty. He got so tired. “Alright.” The knight picked the gems. “Excellent.” Thomas got exhausted. The knight checked the corpses. There might be something. He found a small fortune in gold. That was not important. Thomas collected the jewels. The Lecarde family was wealthy. “Fine.” He picked together. Cedric lead the tribe. They explored the tunnel. Thomas sighed. The knight got to follow. They returned to the vertical prison. “Twisted!” They got in trouble. The door was locked. Thomas had to find the switch. He found it at the bottom of the well. “Nice.” The knight dismissed. “Curse you to Death and Darkness!” Thomas howled. He got other problems. The twin bats swept from opposite directions. “Right!” He threw the garlic. That hurt the monster. The big bat broke into a swarm of smaller bats. The twin spat a fireball. The bat shrieked before breaking. “Blasted!” Thomas hurled the roses. “Get them to climb!” Cedric acknowledged. He showed the way. They swept for blood. Thomas made a back-flip. He threw the stakes. “Alright.”” The knight must find the switch. He impaled the bats. “Twisted!” They gathered to spit the fireball. Thomas dodged. The tribe began to climb up.

Giuseppe licked his lips. “Forget it.” The Lycan brandished with the axe. He shot a trio of sickles in succession. Anna danced. “Hellfire!” Iris dodged another fireball. The Lycan answered with a barrage of energy scythes. Giuseppe threw the thunderball. “Stronger we are!” Anna dodged. “In the name of the Lord!” The Lycan approached. Anna leaped. “Take this!” The girl charged up before the force kick. He grunted on impact. “Get away!” Iris and Talia fought claws-to-wings. You rebel scum!” The wolf grabbed her to might smash her against the wall. Anna shot him in the face. Giuseppe staggered. She escaped. The Lycan got up. Anna had forgotten about their stamina.

The blizzard was over. Ronya shuddered. The wind kept on playing with the snow. Blasted.” She could go no further. Ronya came from Sweden. The child should be used to the climate. “This is the end of the road.” Susan shook her ashy hair. She supported against the tree. Ronya closed her eyes. The British girl should become the leader. That was beside the point. She sighed. They had escaped from the village of Ondol. “This isn’t fear.” They would die. “For 11 years.” Susan kept strangling her braid. “I lived in the forest.” She embraced herself. “That the 12^th. shall be my last.” Ronya put an arm on her shoulder. The green eyes met blue. Susan removed the hood. She cleaned her face. “Hush.” She said. “You don’t talk like that.” Ronya felt the comfort. Though she could still freeze to death. Susan kissed her cheek. “Alright.” The girl tugged upon the braid. Ronya smiled. She believed in the compassion. They got to survive. “Come.” Susan told. “We must find a shelter.” The girls kept together. “Fine.” The girls spoke while walking.

The monster tried to remove the bars. Claudia shrieked. The Lycanbecame chained in place. The fence finally got removed. “Blasted!” The monster leaped to kill her. Claudia got to fight. She would not become the food. “Do not return the gaze!” Julius threw himself sideways. “That is the Basilisk!” The Lycan gasped. She threw herself backward. That was a legend. The soldierscheered. “Die.” Claudia hated the beast. They got no right to invade her home. She growled. “Bastard!” Claudia channelledthrough trough the chains. “Hour of the beast!” The Lycan shuddered. “Leave me alone!” She hid her face. The monster looked so hungry.

The Basilisk charged. Julius made a glide. The priest tried to remember. “Then so let it be!” Hector challenged the beast in 1499. He rolled to escape. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” The priest inhaled. Soma Cruz met the beast in 2035. He presented the crucifix. The Basilisk turned around. Julius threw himself forward. The beast wore a crown of horns above the neck. “The king of serpents.” Julius breathed the title. That was not important. The monster leached. Julius forged the fairy sword. The Basilisk roared. That pierced the scales. He pulled away. The ugly green blood boiled like acid. That scared the pavement. “Preserve us from evil!” Julius held His image. The Basilisk would fix him. “Into Your hands I commit my spirit!” The priest got the laurels. Julius knew about the secret. “Forgive me.” He disliked this part. Julius made the oath to hunt. The Basilisk tried to corner him against the base of the statue. The priestthrew the enflamed axe. The monster wasnot afraid of fire. That wasn’t the point.

Julius climbed to retrieve the weapon. He got to return to the arena. Julius gathered the force. He leaped. The priest got behind the shoulders. The Basilisk chased him around the sculpture. Julius made a back-flip. He tossed the knives. “I am not a glamour girl!” Claudiawas ablaze. “I am the daughter of Cornell!” Julius gripped the Stellar sword. That was a noble bloodline. He was an ally of the family. “Come on! She cried. “Get me!” Claudia encouraged the group. The ogres and soldiers came to fetch her. Claudia leached herself upon the undead knights. The priest forged the Alura sword. The Basilisk fired a beam. Julius threw himself sideways. He exhaled. That might turn him to stone. “Then so let it be!” Julius threw a vial into the air. The Basilisk roared. The glass broke. The holy water made the rising flames to track forward. The monster got consumed. “Good Lord!” The king of serpents reached to bite him. “Right!” Julius shuddered. He knew about the venom. He threw the gold Shuriken. The star might carve some space.

Julius might become ripped apart. “Preserve us from Evil!” The priest threw himself sideways. The cape whirled about his feet. “Good Lord in Heaven!” That confused the monster. Julius got to escape. “Look out!” They squeaked. “Bats away!” The bats got attracted by the bloodshed. “For Karack Warn!” Claudia got obscured in battle. “Let it be!” Julius made a row of clocks to fall down. The beast survived. He missed the heart. The king of serpents made a glide upon the floor. “Save us!” Julius made the sign of the cross. They got separated. He released the sword storm. The Basilisk roared.. That was not enough. The monster was too big and magical. “Let it be!” He spat blood and bile. The bats shrieked. They whirled about. Julius made it to rain with holy water. That burned the swarm. “Alright.” Julius exhaled. “Glory be You.” He took the gems. “Our Father in Heaven.” That was a boost. The Basilisk returned the gaze. Julius crushed the item. The Shuriken spun through the air. That was a gamble. The monster might turn them to stone. The weapon fell on the ground. The monster hissed. Julius remained quiet. The priest leaped to throw the five gold knives. The Basilisk turned to might inflict a stoned state. Julius pierced the eyes. The beast shrieked. “Good Lord!” The monster would eat him. The jaws were wide open. He threw the crystal. Julius caused another explosion upon impact. The priest retrieved the sword. “God with us!” The blade pierced through the scales, flesh and skull to reach the brain. The beast sprawled. “Save me.” Julius threw up. The monster burned. He cleaned off. He should pick the gems. The throne chair loomed above. Julius inhaled. He got to climb upon the dais. “Hallo there.” That might be difficult. “Not you again.” The Succubi sisters gloated about his misery. He frowned. They rejoined the battle. “Fine.” They were unlike the trio he met in the garden. They tried to embrace her. Claudia howled. She got hurt. Julius dismissed. He go to fight. “Sometimes.” Julius sighed. “Everybody hurt.” He got to help her. The specimen peeked out from within the cells. “God with us!” Julius challenged.

He doused them with holy water. They squeaked in terror. They got burned. Julius picked the gems. “That was a fine trick.” Claudia caught their attention. “Forget about her.” The succubus embraced him. Julius pierced her heart. “Leave me alone.” He got work to do. “Whore of Lucifer.” He pushed her aside. “Let the rats consume the corpse.” The pets of Abaddon would feast. “Then so let it be.” Julius shuddered. “I know how you feel.” Claudia put her arms around him. “Thank you.” He closed his eyes. “Goldeneye.” She smiled against his jacket. “What?” She left him alone. “Never mind.” Claudia turned to retrieve the items. “Get away!” They hid among the fallen. Curse of Darkness. They got in trouble. “Bless us.” The bone knights got revived.

The twin bats squeaked. Thomas stepped on the switch. “Take this!” He reached the fountain. “And this!” The knight released through the gauntlets. The giant bat split into a swarm. The twin spat a fireball. Whisp snarled. They took the brunt. “Twisted!” He howled to attack. The bat gathered to take him. The howling blast sent them smashing against the statute. Thomas retained his human form. He picked the wild roses. The twins got shot into tiny bats. Thomas twirled to might parry the onslaught. “Curse it to hell!” The water was rising. “Another day, another problem.” There was an ice wall behind the fountain. “Alright.” Thomas threw down the blue flame. He then put the bottle into the backpack before climbing. Why did he do that? The knight dismissed. The twin bats spat fireballs. “You again.” Thomas retaliated with a boom from his rifle. The right bat split up to dash. Thomas presented the crucifix. Then he threw the Bibhuti. The ash exploded on impact. “Stop haunting me.” The twin bats managed to gather. Thomas inhaled. The sonic howl sent the monsters flying. They returned. Thomas opened the book. The bible contained words to exorcise the demons. The twin bats got burned. Thomas exhaled. “Thank You.” He saluted. The twins shrieked.

She recognised the symbol. “The brotherhood of Light.” Guiseppe carried it upon his chest. She exhaled. Anna removed the crest. The jailer didn’t descend from the alchemist’s family. Anna put it upon her wrist. “Let it be good.”She got the right. “I don’t have the strength.” The Westenra family descended from the Gandalfi bloodline. “Satan!” Talia was undead. “Lord of Darkness, King of Destruction! I call upon thee as a concubine of count Dracula!” Anna blushed. The dress got torn. She bleed. Her eyes burned.Anna bit her lip. She noticed. “Shatterpoints!” The Lycan breathed. “Hark the masters voice.” The voice necromancer. Talia moaned. He broke her shatter point. Anna hid her ears. The drop of blood fell on her. “Thou arth to kill the Belmont.”That was an echo of darkness. “The last command.” The wizardfloated in the air. Anna wouldn’t listen.

The demon lord resurrected fell into the lava. Marina saw him burn. That wasnot important. Charles was gone. The Lycan rebuffed her offer. The little witchwould celebrate her victory. The clansman got other things to do. Marina blushed.“Mother of river.” She felt the hunger. Marina would enjoy their playtime. “You must save me!” The telepathy hit her like a fist. “I am atop the vampire’s tower!” The little witchawoke from her reverie. “ Please! Help me! They are too strong!” Marina picked together. The Gypsie was desperate. She was ashamed. The curse almost drowned her. Marina sighed. She wouldn’t let themto conquer the citadel. “Black water!” Marina bit her lip. The heat was killing her. She got to escape. “Mother!” Marina scaled the wall. The witch could climb the mine shaft. Marina exhaled. “Trust me!” She already climbed quite a bit while fighting the demon lord resurrected. I am coming!” Marina promised. She had to leave the burning Hell. The bats whirled about.“Leave me!” The witch cast the whirlwind spell. She got to relax. “Mother!” Marina summoned the bubble. That was nice. The liquid chilled her blood. “Death water!” Marina got caught in an ambush. “Dark ocean world!” The bats returned. “Mother!”She reached for the “Black pain” whip.

There were nothing to keep them behind. “Come with me.” She instructed. “Let us be gone.” The lieutenant left for the command. “Excellent.” The soldiers used the elevators to escape. “Hurry up.” Luna remained on top. “I found you.” Someone caught her by the shoulders. “Who are you?” She got forced around. “You know who I am.” The old man wore brown. Luna had figured. “Germain.” She breathed. “The horn-playing druid of the Belmont clan.” He smiled. “You know about me.” Germain became serious. “We are running out of time.” The grip tightened. “You have to survive.” Luna gaped. “I cannot permit them to kill you.” She got lost. “Have you come to save me?” Luna felt taken aback. She couldn’t believe it. “The house of Belmont is in grave danger.” The druid looked so sad. “They have to live.” Luna stared. The anger and hate rose to choke her. “What do you want?” Luna would not become a victim. She was lord Dracula’s witch. The druid returned the gaze. “Forgive me.” He told. “This is something I have to do.” Luna felt pierced through the heart and soul.

Throne room, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

She had taking steroids. Iris was sure about it. That was the only way to explain the strength. The white wolf pumped her with scythes. The fire and smoke obscured everything. “Dracul!” Talia released a storm of homing fire bats. “Stronger we are!” Anna threw herself forward. “In the name of the Lord!” The meteor dash crushed the swarm. Talia reappeared to stab her. The Lycan leaped to take her. Anna got protected by the war force. “Hellfire!” Talia cried. She would burn them. The necromancer hid behind the shield. Iris slashed.

The whore was dead. Claudia howled in triumph. “Victory!” The Lycan kicked her body. Succubus got burned to ashes. Julius released the clan’s folk. They gathered before the fight. The priest sought the throne. The werewolf tried to bite him. That might inflict a cursed state. Claudia had decided. The clan would suport his family. She crushed the skull before leaving. “Take on me!” She challenged. “You bastard!” The huge shaggy Lycanthrope turned to slash. He used both hands. The werewolf would cut her to pieces. “You beast!” Claudia dodged. The monster hit with a jump-kick. “Curse it!” Claudia groaned. She managed to stay on foot.

The Lycan got some stamina. Julius touched the crucifix. The werewolf tried to tear her apart. He left that behind. Thiswasn’tan idealarena for dual combat. Julius got his own problems. The great knights protected the throne. “Preserve us from Evil!” They got brough to life. The lycan clansmen came to fight. The knights were forced aside. Julius tightened the grip. “To hunt the night.” The priest made the oath. Julius had to climb. The throne was up there. That was the final approach. Julius made the sign of the cross. “The final problem.” The cell was huge. “The King of serpents.” The monster’s cage stenched of snake. Julius dismissed. He went up the leftmost staircase. “God with us!” Julius reached the platform. “Save me.” The priest inhaled. He reached above the dungeon. The bats squeaked. Julius threw the vial. The undead awaited atop the staircase. They guarded the platform. Julius made a back-flip.He dodge the shield trust. Juliushad reached atop.He presented the crucifix. They got behind. “God with us!” Julius made a row of fireballs to fall down before dashing forward. “Lord!” He carved some space. “Then so let it be!” The archer got ready. Julius accepted his destiny. The priest threw the vial in a high arch. The holy water burned the undead. He was grateful. Julius approached their numbers. The monsters got defeated. Julius exhaled. He got in trouble. The guards twirled with the spear. Julius threw the axe. The red and brown fox retreated. “Then may the Lord make mercy upon your soul!” The priest hurled five daggers. “Dracul!” The soldier shrieked. The knives exploded. Julius exhaled. He made the sign of the cross. Julius picked the gems. He left the lamps and candles. The priest climbed up the staircase. The priest reached atop. This was the throne. He beheld the floor. The clansmen kept fighting. Julius bowed. He went to find the body. The priest bent beside. The man-wolf felt different. “The knight.” Julius frowned. The man-beast carried a pendant around his neck. “Great is the mystery of faith.” The runes and black diamond were unlike that of the light magic pendant. Julius sighed. The treasure was dangerous. Though it belonged to the brotherhood of Light. The order got dissolved. Victor Belmont was their final knight. The priest dismissed. “Mine.” He took the pendant. “Rest well.” Julius told. “The Lord is with you.” He saluted his comrade. The priest got work to do. Julius hid the pendant. The battle waged on. He would help them. Julius leaped from the throne platform. “Burn in Hell!” Claudia defeated the werewolf. “Welcome.” The wolf threw behind her hair. “I hope you found the treasure.” Julius exhaled. “The pendants are not a price.” The jewellery was a burden and a curse. He got to explain it. That had to wait. The battle was over. Julius was proud to have fought among the Lycan. “Resiturgam.” He sat by the statue. Claudia spoke to the people. He got up to pick the gems. They replenished his energy. The clansmen had left the cave. “You are the vampire hunter.” Claudia remained. She promised to help. “That rests with the Lord.” Claudia smiled. “Alright.” The she-wolfstretched while yawning. He sighed. Julius also got tired. “There is another group.” Julius kept inspecting the map. “We got to help them.” Claudia shook herself. “Let us go.” She smiled. Julius cleaned his sword. He recognized the shooter. “Let it be.” Julius dismissed. “You have to cleanse the citadel.” The cave was a mess. “Tell me about it.” She growled. “Be more careful now.” Julius beheld the arena. He didn’t trust the silence. “The order of Shadow might still haunt these grounds.” The Belmont touched the crucifix. Claudia hid her face against his chest. “They dabble in the dark arts.” She breathed. “I know.” He didn’t know what to do. “They came with Orlock.” He shuddered. “The black plague.” That was one of their darkest hour. “When the people died.” He made the sign of the cross. The second horseman was so powerful. Julius studied the chronicle books of the family. “Preserve us from the evil One.” The priest tried to dismiss. “Pestilence, Disease and Decay.” “Beware the power of Orlock.” Julius presented the crucifix. He was such a strong vampire. Julius looked about. He felt like being watched. “There is something alive in here.” The priest didn’t figure. “What was that?” Never mind. “We were not alone.” He felt so cold. “Right.” Claudia acknowledged. She got ready to fight. Julius was so proud about her. He got no time. “God with us!” He unsheathed the sword. There were none to challenge. “Show yourself.” Julius demanded. He felt the presence. That made him more nervous. “She is behind you!” The Lycan howled a warning. “Good Lord in Heaven!” Julius refused the gaze. “Save us.” The priest barely breathed the words out. “You bastard!” Claudia growled. They got to fight. Medusa had left the pedestal. She must be awake. The gorgon might turn them both to stone. “Let it be.” Julius tightened the grip. He really disliked this situation. “This is my fault.” Julius initiatedthe combat. “Leave it.” Claudia snarled. The Lords of Shadow are to blame.” He exhaled. “Then let us hunt.” Claudia was right. The Bernhardt family collected the head. They had used the black witchcraft to revive her as a guardian. Claudia charged her magic. Julius might feel the surge of power. He recognized her style. Claudia retained her true form. “Come on.” Medusa had vanished. “I smell you.” Claudia snarled. “Then so let it be done!” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Belmont slime!” She hissed from among the shadows. “Serpentine scumbag!” Claudia howled. The knot of poisonous green snakes hit the floor. Julius had forged the pyre sword. “God with us!” He got to burn the lot. They rised to strike. The venom dripped of their fangs. “Karack Warn!” Claudia dashed. The Lycan got immune. Julius presented the crucifix. “Then so let it be!” The priest could only hope for salvation. Claudia ripped the serpents. “The Lord is with you.” Julius exhaled. That was alright. “Thanks.” Claudia drew sweat of her forehead. “Reveal yourself.” He got to find the gorgon.

Vertical prison, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The water was rising. Thomas thought the prison might be submerged. “Curse it to hell!” Then again, the crack might drain the matter. That was not important. The bat kept the chase. The monster was breaking up. Every time he struck, would split into smaller bats. “Curse it!”Thomas got a swarm to worry about. They lost their size. Their numbers kept him occupied. Thomas climbed. He released a flurry of flames. The swarm shrieked in union. “Nice.” They got burned. He sighed. That was not the end. The other bats went for blood. His blood. Thomas released through the gauntlets. The orbs defeated the bats. “Then glory be You.” The dark-breed exhaled. “Our Father in Heaven.” Though that was not the end of the struggle. The water kept rising. Thomas retained his human form. He got to hurry. “You won’t escape.” The twin bats had perished. There were other monsters. The skeleton threw bones into the air. Thomas snarled. He got hit. He was hurt. Thomas felt like freezing up. The bags of bones grinned down at him. Thomas howled. The sonic blast crushed them to pieces. “Right.”Thomas climbed the stairs. The bats squeaked while dashing. He smashed with the halberd. That only went to so far. The bats arrived. Then Cedric reappeared to blast them. He smirked.

Throne room, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The vampire resisted the spell. “Curse you Talia!” That was not important. “Curse you!” The lycan removed her heart. Anna got sick. The white wolf removed the head. “Let it be!” Talia burned. The princess staggered. “Help me.” She pleaded. Iris was brought down. She got caught among the fire. “Please.” Anna felt so helpless. She didn’t know what to do. The necromancer granted no breather. He made the scythe and sword to attack. “Perfect.” Iris screamed in agony. “It focus, makes the power grow stronger.” Anna had to dance. She dodged the falling ectoplasm. Anna knelt by the princess. She touched her. “Preserve us.” Anna might heal her wounds. She released the star field. The ectoplasms got burned to ashes. The necromancer hid behind the shield. Iris got up to strike. That was not enough. “Careful.” Anna bit her lip. The lycan howled. “Surrender.” He smirked. “To become my plaything.” She shrugged. Anna might look like a doll. “Leave me alone! The gypsy would be free. Anna danced to cause chain lighting. “Open Hell’s gate!” The necromancer awoke the dead. “Come forth, my servants!” The skeletons marched as the lycan tribe stormed inside. “Finally.” Anna smiled. “Let it be.” That was a mistake. The dead man reached to throttle her.

Courtyard, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The battle waged on. Marina felt boiled. She escaped from the mine. Charles had rejoined with his people. They would release the city. She channelled water through the power gem. That was her element. Marina made a grimace. The lake was polluted. That was the problem. She went like a shadow among the buildings. The witch will not be captured. Adam was dead. She stopped. The bone-archers tried to nail the lycan. That didn’t work. She wasn’tsurprised. Marina felt he presence. The gypsy called for help. She inspected the map. “Alright.” The vampire’s tower lay at the heart of the city. Marina cracked with the “Black pain” whip. She would be read. The witch removed the hat. Then she kept walking. The skeleton reached to choke her. Marina used the blood watch. She got to stop him. “This is my property.” She sapped the power before leaving. Marina was growing strong. They couldn’t stop her. Marina had togather herself. “Sweet mother of river.” She wasn’t here to promote herself. Her show of force would attract the witches. The bone-thrower hurled a flurry of projectiles. Marina hid beneath her cape. The magic might protect her. The man-beast cut up the fight. Marina got to hurry. “Dark ocean world!”She would not forsake them. Not ever again.

Forest of Debias, Warakiya. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D. This was another camp. Daniela decided to wait for sunrise. That would be the better choice. They had discussed about the matter. “Dracula is to blame.” The huntsman had concluded. The daybreak would force the undead to retain their form. Tobias reloaded his weapon. The ranger looked eager to fight. Henry frowned. He didn’t look that sure. “He is the goal.” Daniele beheld Celia and Sylvia. The sisters led in prayer. “The Lord will be with them.” Henry remarked. They got no time. The huntsman had to inspire the group. “We got to war.”Daniele gave the command. The knight would lead them. Renate was in charge of logistics. The dwarves handled their beasts. Sheah assured that they wouldn’t attack the centaurs. Daniele hoped it would be like that. “Pray.” Bern wasn’t afraid of dogs. He liked them. “Alright.” The hounds made her nervous. Daniele warmed her hands above the fire. The knight had managed to ignite. She hoped they wouldn’t attract attention. “Hide us.” The hunting path wasn’t that far. The fact made her feel even more nervous. Sheshuddered.Daniele heard about the rumours. Nothing was ever sure. She was the leader. Henry caught her attention. “Where is the unicorn?” That was a question. “Have he not returned?”

Throne room, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The necromancer was in pain. Iris might smell.Though there were something amiss. “Beware!” Anna cried. The dancing girl charged to fight the dead. “Anger, Hate and agony.” The dark wizard focused his misery. Iris snarled. She retained her true form. “You are a slut.” She had been a fool. Leonard killed both Robin and Miranda. They thought he was a scholar.“Nevermore.” He searched the forgotten lore while mourning the loss of Lenore. “Away from the library.” This was a ploy. The queen had invited him to stay. Iris would throw him out. “You are no longer my guest!” She howled. The dead wizard made it to rain with ectoplasms.

The crypt, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The hiss was a phantom menace. Claudia charged. “Mother Earth!” She gathered the force. Her hair stood upon end. “Medusa.” The priest made the sign of the cross. “Belmont scum.” The gorgon licked her lips while cherishing her voluptuous body. “Beware of the gaze.” Julius sighed. He looked so tired. Claudia snarled. She would be careful. Claudia had figured. She would not be the weak link. “Come to me.” Medusa cooed. “I know what you desire.” “The Bernhardt family revived you.” Julius was not afraid. “Count Dracula released you.” Medusa unsheathed her blade. “You are bound to the castle.” The priest approached the fight.

The gorgon might be a goddess. Julius had no faith. Medusahad unsheathed her sword. That was a lost cause. “In Manos Toas Domine.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Amen.” She sprouted the snakes. “By the power of Seth!” She gripped intoher dark blond hair. “Preserve us!” Julius made the homing fireball to chase and destroy.The Lycan dashed. Medusa made a sudden headbutt. “Good Lord in Heaven.” Julius exclaimed. “God with us.” She released the medusa heads. Claudia howled. She sliced them to pieces. Medusa struck. The gorgon used the sword. The priest meet her in close combat. Julius had to be careful. She might turn him to stone. Medusa hissed. He swallowed. She got an spectacular bosom. Julius would not commit heresy. She continued to fight. Medusa could fence. “Rest in peace!” He made a back-flip. Julius threw the knife. The dagger got stuck between her breasts. Medusa screamed. She threw it upon the floor. Julius tightened his grip. She was bleeding. The Lycan removed the heads. Claudia came to stab the gorgon. The gorgon threw the snakes. Julius countered the strike. He presented the crucifix. She shrieked. Julius made a grimace. The pyre polluted the air. Claudia got bitten the worms. He pulled away. “Then so let it be.” Julius got the laurels. Medusa blew a kiss. “You will make a nice addition to my collection.” She teased. The gorgon would turn them to stone. She conjured the heads. “Karack Warn!” Claudia shot the lot. He threw the vial. She screamed. Medusa got burned by the holy water. The priest must remove her head. Medusa struck with the end of the hilt. “By Seth and Isis!”She shook her hair to release the snakes. Julius cut them with the shuriken. The gorgon hissed. She beheld their progress. Julius sidestepped the beaming gaze. The Lycan wasn’t that lucky. Claudia got turned to stone. The gorgon hid a smile. Julius got afraid. He threw the crystal. The gorgon hissed. The gem hurt her stomach. Julius removed the status. “Heart of fire.” The laurels granted that power. Simon Belmont found the price in 1688. “God with us!” The hunters came from both sides. Medusa fired the beaming gaze. The Lycan dropped down. Medusa summoned the other heads. Julius met her blade. He stamped with the crucifix. “Belmont slime.” Medusa hissed. She struck with the sword. Julius groaned. He got hurt. The chain mail saved him. The armour wouldn't protect him from her poison. Julius stabbed her tail. The gorgon hissed. Claudia defeated the series. She buried her nailsinto hershoulder. The Lycan got soaked in blood. The serpents crawled about. Claudia screamed. They got tied about her body. Medusa would turn her to stone. Julius made the books to take the brunt. He hurled the axe. Medusa collapsed. The weapon was buried in her chest. She spat the blood. Medusa burst into fire. The priest exhaled. He went to help his friend.Julius got the laurels. She pushed him aside. The priest healed her. Claudia picked the crystals. He let her. Julius found the mystic orb. The crystal ball restored him. Claudia leaned against the wall. “You never answered my question.” He sighed. “How could I forget.” Julius remarked. He showed her the pendants. “We must return.” Claudia got ready. The Lycan was eager. Julius smiled. She got ahead. He followed her through the gate chamber. “Wait for me.” They hurried through the corridor. They had to jump. “This isn’t right.” The monsters seemed to have vanished. Julius made the sign of the cross. “I don’t like this.” The bats flapped about. He left the behind. “Beware.” Claudia made him to stop. “Bless me.” He bent down. This was the high chamber. “Curse of Darkness.” Julius breathed. Hetouched the crucifix. Claudiaacknowledged. “I know.” The staircase got repaired. “Stay with me.” The Lycan told. She began to climb. Julius wouldn’t get lost. He followed her. Claudia reached the first step. “Great is the mystery of faith.” Nothing happened. Julius put it in the hands of the Lord. He made the sign of the cross. They remained together. Julius must to solve the case. “Silence.” He got to figure. They reached the bottom. “And then so let it be in the Lord.” The priest had a final look upon the stairway. Julius went into the statue room. “Just wait.” Claudia caught his arm. “Trust me.” Julius assured. “And in He who sent me.” She bit her lip. “I believe in you.” She promised. Claudia released the hold. He stepped out upon the floor. Julius retrieved the dark magic pendant. The shadow the room. There was a breaking sound. “What is happening?” Claudia demanded to know. The lamps and candles got rekindled. “The Lord is great and merciful.” Julius sighed. They broke the flow of energy. “This is it.” The great statue got released. The heavy stone idol broke both the statue and the floor. That revealed another staircase. “God with us!” Julius relaxed. “This is the beginning.” He “I have to explore.” He squeezed her hand. “You don’t have to follow.” Claudia bit her lip. She shook her head. “We should investigate the crypt labyrinth together.” Julius exhaled. He was glad. Claudia was a volunteer. Though he got to ask. Julius didn’t have to be alone. “Let us continue.” He told. The bats cut up their reverie. Julius doused them with holy water. The monsters burned. “They are alive!” Claudia howled. “God with us!” Julius shuddered. “The chill of the grave.” The priest felt the cold. “The dead wander were they do not belong.” That was ancient lore. Julius got the crucifix. “The crypt is open!” The walls got broken. Claudia almost got buriedby the debrie. “God with us!” Julius brandished with the sword. The group of skeletons and zombies pulled her aside. “Then I call thee forth into the Light!” Julius announced. He presented the crucifix. “To be cast into the Shadow!” His image blazed. “To arise with Christ!” The priest became hoisted into the air. ”Then so let it be!” Julius cried. The enflamed cross burst overhead. “Glory be You!” Julius exhaled. That cleansed the cave. “Our Father in Heaven.” Claudia returned. She managed to escape. “clever.” She remarked.

Terrace, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The great knight collapsed into a heap of armour plates. Thomas exhaled. The suit was empty. He didn’t want to know about the force. The little witch rolled in front. “This is not the end!” Marina cried. He knew. The werewolf picked to bite her. The claws tore into her shoulders. The knight approached. “Missed us!?” The harpies prevented the attack. “Not really!” Thomas dodged the feathers. The werewolfthrew the witch aside. “I challenge you!” Lypuston came with a crisscrossing claw attack. “Alright!” His brother had fought to the top. The knight released a flurry of flames. The werewolf howled while burning. “Mother!” Marina cried. “Silver, fire, salt and sorcery are the means against your kin.” He got the rifle. “This is my gift.” Thomas fired a boom. He reloaded with silver bullets. Marina cheered. “You are my dark-breed in shining armour!” The harpy sisters picked him. “Leave me alone!” He released the cross blast. The werewolf snarled. He went for thewitch. “You are the meat!” Marina cast the flame spell. He got burned. Thomas hit the candles. He found the halberd. “Release him!” She got the bloodwatch. The werewolf stopped. “Drop it!” Thomas growled. “He is too strong!!” The bullet went home. She danced with joy. Thomas had used the silver.

Throne room, the vampire’s tower. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The necromancer removed the hood. Anna blinked. This was no corpse. He was not a litch. Anna exhaled. The dark wizard looked like a man. She felt the presence of a true loremaster. “Please mistress.” He knelt before her. “Spare me.” Leonard reached a hand. “I am too weak.” Anna felt so confused. “Please kind mistress.” She didn’t know what to do. “Do not kill me.” His legions were defeated. “Stronger we are!” Anna exclaimed. “In the name of the Lord!” His plea was a snarl. “No! You will die!” The hand belonged to a skeleton. Anna swallowed. The ligament lay beneath the skin. The eye glazed. The rotting vampires came with Orlock. She inhaledthe smoke. Leonard reached within the cloak. “The perfect sacrifice.” He hissed. The necromancer retrieved the knife. He stabbed like a serpent. “Watch out!” Anna yelled. “Venom!” She recognised the black spot. Leonard would kill the princess. She got to collect. The Lycan got hit by the ectoplasms. “You cannot defeat us.” He gloated. “The tribe of Evil.” Anna sang. She had become the Phoenix again. “Curse you!” The dead wizard hid his face. The appearance of the Sun bird scorched his flesh. She flew into the heart of evil. “Whore!” He tried to stab her. She retained her human form. Heburned. Anna glorified the Lord.

The Lycan tribe got to clear the throne room. Marina sat cross-legged against a pillar. “Mother.” She felt so tired. The princess left them behind. “Black water.” That was an insult. The little witch put her on the throne. “Iris mustpresent herself to the people.” She sniffed. Thomas sighed. “The hunt continue.” Anna kissed his cheek. “Right.” The knight looked sad. “I thought you would pledge to the tower.” Marina watched them. “The Curse of Darkness.” Thomas inhaled. “I know.” Marina told her story. Although she didn’t reveal everything. Never mind. That was her business. Anna looked into her hands. The Lycan gave the jewels. The blue stones shone in the torchlight. “Belmont.” Anna made the elf stones to disappear. “Julius is the hunter.” Marina shuddered. “We got to find him.” Thomas encouraged. “Right.” The little witch felt revived. “There you are.” The tribe returned. “The order is finished.” Cedric exhaled. “Follow me.” Marina disliked his approach. “We delivered the citadel.” “Alright.” Thomas assured. “That is fine.” The nayad thought of the submarines. “Let it be.” Anna blew a kiss. The witch sighed. “The princess told me to fetch you.” Cedric explained. He motioned at the stairs. “The coronationis at hand.” Marina blinked. “Right.” Thomas told.

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They had return to the crypt. The order had gathered. “You have failed us for the last time.” The dark warlock spoke for the circle. “Have I?” The lady purred. “thee awoke mine spirit.” The bride lay restingupon the treasure. She was their sacrifice. The queenlustedfor blood. “The Belmont clanhave released the Lycan tribe upon the citadel.” The deadwarlock hissed. “I am aware of their presence.” The lady of the crypt was not a fool. They knew as much. “They arth coming for their precious leader.” She almost smiled. “For thy fire and blood.” That was a promise. They lusted for the power. The lady would bestow upon their lot.

“Threepretty petals”, Dora wood. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The women invited them inside. Ronja relaxed. She accepted the offer. The warmth was nice. Ronya signed the guest book. “Follow me.” They offered a bath. Susan rubbed her hands. “We keep our promises.” The landlord told. The inn was a busy place. People came and left. Ronya threw behind her dark braid. “Come.” The innkeeper lead them behind the counter. They went along the corridor before climbing down the stairs. “Now this is luxury.” Everything was ready. This was the bathroom. “Oh thank you very much.” The girls cheered. The steam touched their features. There were no mirrors. Ronya stripped before descending. She climbed into the bathtub. “You will do fine.” The barman hadn’t left. He beheld them. Ronya blushed. She tried to hide beneath the water. The girl grew touchy about her body. “Get off you stalker.” Susan met his gaze. “Get away!” Ronya cried. His eyes shone like stars. “Yes.” The barman gloated. “Remove your dress.” The maids appeared in the doorway. Susan's eyes had glazed over. Her clothing lay on the floor. The maids turned her around. She was forced to watch. Susangot whipped. “This is a maiden’s house.” The man smirked. He was a vampire. Ronya shrieked. “Shut up.” The maid hit her in the face.

(A.N: I am sorry for this long update. This have been a hard chapter. I wished to include some material from the LoS titles. We approach the end of this quest. Have a nice time.)

Crypt labyrinth: Grounded search.

Living quarters, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The whispering voices of the dark side. “Come.” They beckoned. “ To embrace the power.” Daria limped toward the restoration tank. The liquid filled the chamber. “Cycle complete.” She had survived the process. The body collapsed upon the floor. “Build-up commencing.” The robots gathered about. “Leave me alone.” Daria snarled. They gave no remark. “Complete.” The technicians stepped behind. The combat suit got heavy armed and armoured. The bounty hunter inspected the machinery. “Good.” Daria carried a projector upon her wrist. “Very good.” The image portrayed a cloaked and hooded man. “ Cyborg.” He hissed. She gave her salute. “Yes, my lord.” The dark warlock gloated. “As you wish.” The man exhaled. “ Activate the droids. Lieutenant.” The voice scratched inside her brain. The cyborg felt cold. The infernous cycle heated the mechanism. “Prepare for ground assault.” He acknowledged. “I want the area contained.” The dark warlock told. “Yes. It shall be done.” Daria submitted. She had made her hair into triple black braids. “There is no life in the nothing.” That was basic knowledge. “Only death.” The uppermost portion of his face hadbecome concealed. The warlock smirked. “This is the hour.” He told. “The hour of the beast.”

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The crypt was pitchblack. Claudia shuddered. She felt like the trap was closing in about her. The labyrinth stenched of decay and witchcraft. “I fear not.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Even though I walk beneath the shadow of the valley of death.” He lit the lamp. “Come.” Julius told. “The Father will be our good Lord.” Claudia was unsure. She got to keep the faith. “I believe in you.” She repeated. Julius smiled. “I know.” The priest unsheathed the sword. He exhaled. “You have to do the tracking.” Juliusgot ready. “We must find the captives.” Claudia acknowledged. “The crypt labyrinth is not covered by the map. That would be alright.

The cave was so cold. Julius had solved the puzzle. “This is the curse of the black witchcraft.” The labyrinth was an extension of the crypt. “The necromancy might consume everything.” Claudia sighed. “I know that.” She whispered. “That in the end; even the stars burn out.” Julius acknowledged. “So let it be.” He made the sign of the cross. Claudia sniffed the air. They reached the bottom of the crypt. “They are here.” Julius had no doubt. “God with us.” The Lycan found her tribe. “This way.” Claudia got ahead. “Wait!” Julius called. “Look out!” The bats squeaked. “Save us!” He threw the axe. They burst into flame. He picked the gems. “The lament of innocence.” The lamp illuminated the pile of bones. “The cells are open.” Julius got to present the crucifix. “Dracula’s curse.” Claudia spat. The zombies pushed through the floor. “Rest in peace!” Julius forged the pyre sword. “Night of the living dead.” He approached. “Blessed thee.” The priest put the rotters on fire. ”Damn you, your devils!”Claudia cut up the bats and zombies. The priest approached to behead the scores. “Save us!” He got caught in the net. “Thank God.” There were no magic. The spiders climbed the thread. They settled upon his chest and shoulders. Julius shuddered. “Let it be.” He made it to rain. The holy water burned the net. Julius exhaled. They got in trouble. There were the zombies. They pushed through the ground. The floor got made of earth. There had to be solid stone. That was not important. Claudia approached. “Watch out!” She threw the scythes forward. “Alright.” The corpses burned on impact. “Follow me!” The Lycan cried. “I am coming.” Julius got no choice. The priest unsheathed the sword. They removed the web. “Come on!” She passed the cells. Claudia then stopped in place. She tested the air. “Another legend.” Julius kept a lookout. “Another battle.”She must find the way. The bats kept harassing them. “Then so let it be.” Julius threw the crystal. He made a row of meteors to fall down. “Resiturgam!”The bats got scattered about. Julius retrieved the gems. “Come with me!” Claudia had decided. He acknowledged. “God with us!” The priest got to defeat the zombies.

They continued. “To hunt the night.” Blood of the hunter. “I hope you know what you do.” He muttered. “Trust me.” The path went straight. “Me to.” Julius got to remove the shrubbery. “Look out!” She fired. The bats burned. He got through. The corpses hid behind. “Save us.” Julius sighed. They were rotting. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” They threw the head. The priest served the cross. He presented the envelope. “Corpus Christi.” That was the Host. He closed the prayer. “You are not the real dead.” Julius had inherited the Shuriken. “Jesus.” He hoped that Maxim would be proud. “You have nothing in common.” The priest cried. “You are the devils of the pit!” Julius threw the Shuriken. The star cut up the rotting corpse. The zombies leaped. “Preserve us from the wicked One!” Julius made the sign of the cross. . The scores of undead beings rised from their graves in search of flesh. He removed the arms. The corpse kept crawling. They were unlike the other zombies. Claudia shot them to pieces. The headless body reached to eat her. “Karack Warn!” She threw the scythes. “Rest in peace.” The pieces were alive. “Watch out!” Claudia howled. They would pull her down under. “Leave her alone!” Julius doused them with holy water. They burned. The priest exhaled. That was not the end. The trio hid among the shadows. “Get behind!” They threw the heads. “In Manos Toas Domine!” Julius made a glide. “Then into Your hands I commit my spirit!” He got behind. Julius would impale the undead. They reached to strangle. He got the crucifix. They tried to kill him. Julius removed the arms. “Karack Warn!” Claudia ripped the corpses. The zombies kept rising. Julius threw the star. He got to complete the battle. “Blessed be!” The swarm swept to bite him. They squeaked for blood. “Curse you devils!” Claudia howled. She hit them like targets in a shooting gallery. “Thank the Lord.” Julius picked the gems. “Leave the lamps!” They might be the only source of light. “Come on.” Claudia sniffed about. She would find the way. “Look out!” Claudia cried. “This is a trap!” The Lycan went ahead. Julius touched the crucifix. “The cells were empty. The water dripped from the ceiling. “Wait!” They must continue. Claudia reached the cave. “Stop!” She prevented his progress. Claudia leaped above the spide bed. “God with us!” The priest made the sign of the cross. “Get away!” The bats flapped about. She fired. Julius got the Bible. The bats got cut to pieces. Julius exhaled. The Lycan got beyond the spike trap. Julius got to follow. She stabbed the lot. The zombies pushed through the ground. “Then so let it be!” The priestretrieved the gems. They reached the cave. “The bottom of the well.” The draft went cold. “The scent of death.” Julius got to continue. “God with us!” The cobweb covered the cave. He approached. Something cracked beneath his boot. “Resiturgam!” Julius looked down. “Save us from evil!” He shuddered. Julius stepped on the skeleton. “Glory be You!” The priest felt the power. Julius presented the crucifix. “Our Father in Heaven!” He would challenge the warlock. “Preserve us from the wicked One!” He might resurrect the zombies. “Dead men walking.” The rotting scores rised from their graves in the search of flesh. “Night of the living dead.” “Get behind!” The warlock was unlike the necromancer. “Right!” Claudia revealed the claws. She challenged the zombies. “You Belmont scum.” The warlock hissed. He created the shield. Julius threw the crystal. The shield flickered. He cast the dagger. Claudia appeared in front. She got the short sword. “Save us from evil!” The homing ball almost shot him to pieces. “Not this time!” Claudia howled. “Look out!” Julius threw the three vials. “Then so let it be!” The warlock burned. “God with us!” The zombies pushed from beneath. He was not afraid. He kept the faith. “The Lord will be with us.” Julius proclaimed. “Rest in peace!” He cried.

Deathly waterfall, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The waterfall roared. Saroya knelt. She kept on weeping. They lost. “A witch shall be born.” The dancer had no mind. Sancha hid herselfbehind the brown hair. They would be punished. Saroya figured. The lady gunner should killed them. “The Dark Lord can never be defeated.” The witch proclaimed. Elayne kept the faith. Her blue eyes blazed with conviction. “ So it is.” He hissed. “It is you.” Saroya recognized him on sight. They got no choice then to obey. “ That is why thee might continue to serve the prince of Darkness.” The grim reaper appeared. “Command me.”Elayne had become so eager. Death gave no answer. “Take them.” He told. The dead kept them in line. “Thee arth no one.” Death was so cold. “The ore is hardly worth.” The talons ripped their clothing’s. “ Thee shall learn thy place.” Saroya shuddered. “Please.” The grim reaper made hersun-coloured hair to fall down. “Please!” The witch was screaming. “We might still serve his power!” The witch sisters shrieked. “We are hisblood concubines!” The angel of Death rasped. “He require thy service.” Elayne stopped screaming. She sobbed. “ Hark. Thy Master’s voice.” The girlwas 16 years old. Saroya had becomea witch. “Dracul.” The Shadow and flame. “ Process them.” That would be to no avail against his wrath.

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The great spiders climbed down the web. Claudia howled in fury. They beheld the combat. She shuddered. They kept on chewing. “They lust for our flesh.” Julius presented the crucifix. She acknowledged. The warlock was to blame. Claudia was sure about that. “God with us!” The priest struck with the sword. He got through the zombies. The warlock fired. “Let it be!” Julius threw the five gold knives. “Accursed Belmont!” The four orbs exploded on impact. The wizard got burned. Claudia threw the scythes. The spiders dropped. She felt the impact. Claudia threw herself forward. She got the sword. The spider burned. That was not the end.

The chill was a warning. Julius made the sign of the cross. The ghost chased the living force. He broke the shield. “You cannot defeat me!” The warlock proclaimed. “You are just a man.” He gloated. “We are forever.” Julius was not deterred. “I have choice.” He removed the head. The orbs exploded. The blast made him to stagger. The zombiesburst into flame. “Let it be.” Julius cleaned the sweat. The great spider threw the spindles. “God with us!” He hurled a vial. The glass cracked on impact. The Arachnid beast got burned to ashes. Julius couldn’t relax. The ghost might possess him.He struck with the sword. The ghost moaned while fading.Julius made the sign of the cross. The Lycanwas captured. Claudiagot to remove the web. The bats whirled about. “Then so let it be.” Julius felt their bloodthirst. The well was haunted. “Rest in peace.” He banished the ghost.Juliusran to help the man-beast. The rat squeaked.They appeared from inside the potholes. They smelled the rotting flesh. “Save us from evil!” Julius made it to rain with holy water. “They must be burned!” The rats might eat them alive. She impaled the spider. “The blade is elven made.” He exclaimed. “Alright.” Claudia smiled. “I might pierce their skin.” He got other problems. The spider threw the net. “God with us!” He threw the axe. “Get behind!” Claudia shouted. “Rest in peace!” The dead were alive. Julius forged the pyre sword. “God with us!” He slashed through the corpses. Claudia howled. She released the plasma. “Alright!” Claudia cut them to pieces. The great spider leaped atop. The monster caught her in the web. Claudia fell on the floor. Julius ran. The Lycan blazed. “You devil!” She stabbed to kill. The spider rolled aside. He was covered with scorchmarks. He would never move again. “Get down!” The priest made a row of fireballs to fall down. Julius burned the web. She got up. The spiders fell like meteors. “Follow me!” She shouted. They reached the tunnel. She got ahead. Julius stopped. He made a row of clocks to fall down. The priest got to hurry. Claudia burned the bats. “Watch out!” She leaped above the spikes. “Then so let it be.” Julius got to follow. The zombies pushed through the ground. “Alright.” Claudia approached. She used the claws for weapons. “The black plague.” Julius bent down. He got to burn the rats. They piled up to eat him. “God with us!” Julius struck with the sword. The priest got put to the test. The monsters burned. Julius picked the gems. “Preserve us!” The fight was far from over. They tried to climb on top. Julius released through the gauntlets. The homing ball searched and destroyed. That was the finale. Julius took the gems. “Resiturgam.” The zombies got defeated. “That was clever.” Claudia leaned against the wall. She managed to gather. “Are you alright?” Julius asked. “Yes.” She pulled away. “Sure.” Claudia brushed her hair. “Come on.” The priest made the sign of the cross. She went ahead. “I got a bad feeling about this.” He felt at a loss. “This is the way to Hell.” Julius shuddered. He kept standing tall. The bats came upon silent wings. Claudia fired around. “Preserve us!” The monsters got burned. Claudia took the jewels. Julius inhaled. He leaped above the spikes. They reached another chamber. “The crypt is close.” Julius grasped the Stellar sword. “Alright.” The bats swooped for blood. His arms got on fire. Julius forged the pyre sword. The shackle of rotting zombies broke through the wall. “Preserve us from the wicked One!” They threw the heads. Claudia got busy with the bats. The priest repelled the onslaught. “Black witchcraft!” The undead approached. “This is necromancy magic.” The ghouls pushed through the ground. Julius recognised the lot. The cloak got stained with old blood and dirt. “We are in trouble.” The female vampire occupied the crypt. “You want me.” She beckoned. “The lady spread her caped arms wide. Julius frowned. She stenched. “You do desire me.” She sweptfromwithin the crypt. The white funeral robes got stained with dirt and blood. Though the lady looked almost luminous. “It is you.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Laura.” The priest recognised her presence. She was Dracula’s bride and Carmilla’s price. “So, you do know about us.” That was not a question. “Then come to me.” Laura beckoned. “To know me better man.” He made no remark. Julius got the sword. “They lust for flesh.” The zombie might pull him under. The rotting corpse lost both hands. Julius pierced the heart. “God with us!” The ghoul was breathing acid mist. Julius got behind. “You undead slut!” Claudia approached to kill the vampire. “You won’tescape again!” Laura met her assault. “Forgive us!” Julius stamped with the crucifix. “We don’t know what we do!” He proclaimed. The headless corpse burst into fire. “In Manos Toas Domine!” The girls fought claw-to-claw. They were no spectacle. He threw the axe. The swarm exploded. He beheaded the ghoul. Julius got to hurry. She was the guide. “Let it be!” He couldn’t leave her to death and torment. He impaled the rotting zombie. They tried to take him. Laura would feed upon his blood. Julius would not submit. “Rest in peace.” He would put her to rest. The priest cast the vial. The holy flame went forward. He leaped. The fireball chased and destroyed. He left the spot. The priest defeated the living dead. He picked the gems. They restored the force. “Save us!” The girls kept up the challenge. “Oh forgive me my Lord.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “For I have sinned.” That was some catfight. The priest bent in prayer. “Karack Warn!” Claudia kicked the undead. He pierced her with five gold knives. “You Belmont slime!” Laura morphed into mist. She left with bloody tears. He took the dagger. Claudia charged up. The coffin rattled. They were on display. The burial box might crush the vampire hunters. Laura returned. She caught the Lycan. Julius felt so helpless. The vampire took her blood. Claudia shot her. The vampire shrieked. He sidestepped the coffins. “Preserve us from evil!” The box hit above the shoulders. His arms were on fire. The coffin spun. He threw the axe.

Courtyard, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The tribe gathered outside the temple. They thought it was over. The order gotan alternative. “Hisprojection told the truth.” Daria Glenholm beheld the wrist communicator. The arm was a new replacement. “We are in position.” Daria was a contract killer and soldier of fortune. They gave her an offer she couldn’t refuse. “They are deployed and prepared for the assault.” The hologram flickered. “Good.” He told. “Then I have your permission to begin, my lord?” The man smiled. “Commence with the battle.” He acknowledged. “I want the area contained.” She gave a salute. “Yes my lord.” The transmission closed. Daria touched the instruments. She carried upon her chest and around her waist. “Activate.” Daria announced. “Fire at will.” She wore no headpiece or implant. The black hair fell in tripled braids to below her face. “Roger, Roger.” The bandleaders reported in. She was the lieutenant. Shegot the binoculars. The cyborg carried upon her belt. “Out of time.” The battle-droidsreached the courtyard. Their weapons blazing. The tribe didn’t know what hit them. Daria gasped. This was glorious. The Lycan tribe got to regroup. They sent the children into the temple. “You cannot escape.” Daria smirked. “All who oppose the prince of Darkness must die.” She released the reserve.

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The coffin burst on impact. Claudia got to fight. The priest pierced the heart. Laura burned. They breached the crypt. Claudiafound the bloody road. She felt so cold. This was unnatural. The tomb belonged to the dead. Julius threw the Shuriken. The star cut through the shadows. They were invisible. The voices made her to stop. Claudia mourned for the forgotten souls. She growled. “Leave us alone.” Claudia smelled the ghost. “Those who wander in the Dark.” Julius got the Bible. “Shall see a great light.” Claudia exhaled. She couldn’t see beyond. Though she smelled. “Here it is.” She found the tunnel. “So let it be.” Claudia went ahead.

The bats flapped about. Julius summoned a circle of crosses. Theygot burned to ashes. Claudia impaled the body. The rotting zombies threw their heads. “Blasted!” She groaned. The Lycan got the air struck from her lungs. Julius made a glide. She gathered. “Alright!” Claudia threw the flurry. The ghouls released an acid mist. “Let it be.” He removed the head. The priest doused the corpses. That gave a breather. Julius leaped above the spikes. “Lord!” They got carved from the bedrock. “This way!” Claudia told. “Follow me!” She got ahead. Claudia entered the cave. He had to follow. “Save us!” Juliusalmost slid into the spike trap. He got hold. They went above. Julius cut through the web. The spiders climbed down. “Beware!” They might eat him. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” Julius spread his arms. He flouted beneath the enflamed cross. His image burst. The spiders got burned to ashes. “Rest in peace!” They reached the oval chamber. The warlock might resurrect the zombies. Claudia shot them to pieces. The man opened the shield. The dead pushed through the floor. She got among the bodies. Julius held off the attack. The spinning books burned the bats. “Hello there.” The witch sped through the air. “Have you forgotten?!” The woman laughed. Julius bit his lip. She was attractive. The long dark hair framed her features. “The evil eye.” The grey gaze was on fire. That was not the point. “Preserve us..” He had become a priest. Rachel had to carry on the bloodline. He presented the crucifix. She shrieked with laugher. The powder exploded on impact. “Then so let it be.” The warlock approached. He got a knife. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” Julius doused him with holy water. The cloak caught fire. Claudia snarled. “You cannot strike me!” She buried her claws inside the torso. He staggered. “I remember.” Claudia twisted around. “A Lycan might smell the rapist.” The man groaned. Then he burst. The explosion made the rocks to fall down. Julius made a back-flip. “Die!” The witch swooped to throw powder. They got to split. Julius hurled the tripled vials. “Witchcraft!!” She dodged the onslaught. Claudia howled her frustration. “I have you now.” The witch cast more powder. “There is more then enough.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” The priestgot blazing with power. “I declare you of having brought false witness.” Julius was not the family’s chosen hunter. They shouldn’t suffer a witch to live. “In effort to pervert the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth.” He was the shepherd of the flock. “I cast you out of society.” The witch screamed. “Let it be.” Julius was not afraid. “Let go of your hate.” She swept to take him. Claudia threw the scythes. The woman came too fast. Julius got to wait. “Let Your will be done!” He crushed the crystal. The witch got burned to ashes. Julius relaxed. The fires got extinguished. He looked about. There were several tunnels which led from this chamber. The lamp burned. That lit the area. He touched the crucifix. “Come with me!” Claudia found the scent. She would save the tribe. Julius had to follow. The corridor went beside the empty cells. “God with us!” He exclaimed. The columns were made by nature. There were no time. The bats flapped about. “Let it be!” Julius threw the axe. “Karack Warn!” She howled. The zombies pushed through the ground. The Lycan got busy. Julius approached. The coffin stirred. Then it came like a battering-ramp. “Into Your hands I commit my spirit!” Julius made it to rain with holy water. “Rest in peace!” The coffin burned. The box still tried to hit him. Julius broke the wood. There was a drift. “God with us!” The chill was unnatural. Julius might see beyond the obvious. “Preserve us!” That was the large ghost. The priest would not become possessed. Julius threw tripled axes. “Get away from there!” The smaller apparitions had gathered around his friend. “The ghosts!” The Lycan couldn’t see. She dropped herself. Julius threw five daggers. The ghosts moaned. The explosion ripped them to pieces. Julius drew sweat of his brow. He retrieved the gems. The rotting corpse kept him behind. He threw the head. Julius got to escape. “So let it be.” The creep approached. “Burn in Hell!” Claudia gulged the heart. The arms fell down. Theyburned the ground. “Save us!” The zombies tried to pull under. Julius removed the head. The zombiebroke apart. Julius sighed. He picked the gems. Claudia went into another tunnel. The priest got above the spikes. “Help me!” Claudia became stuck in the net. “Preserve us!” The great spider threw the spindle. Julius ran forward. “Look out!” The Lycan howled. “Monster!” He got beneath.The Arachne came from behind. “Their spit is like the acid!” Julius threw the daggers. The five gold knives got stuck in the spider. He touched the crucifix. The knives didn’t hurt. The monster threw another spindle. Julius got dragged forward. “Calling from Heaven!” He exclaimed. Julius dropped the book. “So let Your will be done!” The homing balls chased and destroyed. The great spider got shot to pieces. Julius exhaled. He found the big gems. Claudia kept up the battle. “Save us from evil.” Julius got disturbed. The large ghost flouted in the air. “Then so let it be!” The priest doused him with holy water. The ghost approached. Julius shuddered. He felt so cold. “Save me.” He couldn’t retreat. “God with us!” Julius presented the crucifix. The spikes were behind. He threw the crystal. The crypt shook on impact. Julius forged the Alura sword. The blade shone of the white gold. The ghost got cut down. “Nice work.” Claudia returned. She smiled. “You are a Belmont.” Julius shook his head. He picked the gems. “Rest in peace.” The priestfeltso tired. “Save us.” Never the less,the hunt continued.” lead on.” He told. “Of course.” The Lycan was the guide. She tapped his shoulder. “Sure.” Claudia said. She would find the way. Claudia went ahead. Julius kept on hisguard. He leaped above the spikes. “Then so Let it be.” He looked around. The priest caught up with Claudia. She stopped. “Wait a moment.” Claudia sniffed the air.

Courtyard, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The bounty-hunter didn’t smell right. Iris had realized. The woman got the speed adaptor. She dashed to firewith the arm cannon. The cyborg touched her shoulder. “Fire in the hall!” The grenades got launched in quick succession. Charles got shot to pieces. “No!” Iris howled. She threw the scythes. The Afro-Asian lifted above. She carried a jet-pack. “Take the queen.” The bounty-hunter reached below her belt. “Surrender.” She made a flip to pick the handle. Iris cried. The cyborg ignited the light sabre. She blocked the attack. She returned the plasma. She got beneath. The knight attacked with his blazing trident. Whisp got clever. “Look out!” The witch threw the knives. “You won’t be a prisoner!” The bounty-hunter shot into the air. “You will be a corpse!” Her blasters blazed. “Blasted!” Iris cursed. She got seeker crystals. They got other problems. “Heads up!” Cedric howled. The Lycan pointed. “Burn in Hell!” The ten-super battle-droids fired their blasters into the tribe. “There are too many of them!” The destroyers unfolded. “They got shield generators!” Anna danced. She cast the Star field. “Roger, Rodger.” The robots kept forward. “They got produced by the Brent corporation!” Cedric picked the axe. “I know.” The knight threw roses at them. The robots kept on blasting.

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The lamps got replaced by torches. “I don’t like this.” Claudia growled beneath her breath. Julius sent her a look. The Lycan shrugged. They went even further into the crypt labyrinth. The priest looked haggard.Though Claudia never lost the track. The bats returned for blood. Julius dropped theholy book. He made the fireballs to chase and destroy. Claudia smirked. This was the way to hunt. Claudiagot other problems. The witch kept hurling black powder. That burst on impact. Claudia made a leap. She got high enough to rip her from the broom. “Release me!You filthy animal.” The witch demanded. Claudia howled. She would kill her.

They both collided against the floor. Julius cut through the net. The spiders crawled about. Claudia got up. The witch sprawled while the Lycankept her close. “This is for my brother!” She pumped her with scythes. The witch screamed. The mystics tore her apart. “Let it be!” Julius burned the web. He jumped above the spikes. Claudia got ahead. She met the zombies. “I have you now.” The witch hid against the ceiling. “Preserve us from evil!” She dropped. The witch landed atop. “Sorry. We don’t have time for anything else right now.” She giggled. Julius had no coment. She picked the powder. He presented the crucifix. “Leave the poison.” The woman lost the purse. Julius kicked it aside. “The count will take you!” She spat at him. “That rests with the Lord.” Julius got to push her aside. “Let go of your hate.” He explained. The priest got no taste for power. “He shall make mercy upon your soul.” He cut her throat. “Forgive us.” Julius got no choice. “We don’t know what we do.” He left to leave the corpse. Claudia cut thezombies. “Behind you!” He cried. The large ghost might possess her body. She couldn’t see the invisible. Claudia could smell. The Lycan threw the scythes. “Let it be!” Julius hurled a vial. The impact made him to fade. He picked the gems. “They are here!” Claudia shouted. “They went into that tunnel!” The priest acknowledged. “Then so let it be.” The passage seemed to continue on forever. “God with us!” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Preserve us from evil.” The columns got carved out by nature. “The lament of Innocence.” The great web went from side to side. He prayed. There were no great spiders abroad. “Karack Warn!” Claudia shot the spiders. “Rest in peace!” Julius got ambushed by the ghosts. He got the Stellar sword. The figures moaned while fading. “Get away!” Claudia shrieked. The rats climbed on her body. “Preserve us from the evil One!” Julius presented the crucifix. They ran through the cracks and potholes. He made it to rain with holy water. They squeaked. The rats gotburned to ashes. “Thank you.” The survivors fled the scene. Claudia gasped. “They tried to eat me.” She gulped. “They brought the plague.” Julius was grim. “Abandon.” She was the second rider. Both Jonathan Morris and Soma Cruz had challenged her power. Julius sighed. There might be dangerous to speak of such things. “I see.” Claudia had figured. She dismissed about the topic. They picked the gems. “Let us continue.” Julius got ready. “Alright.” Claudia snarled. The rats had returned. “They must be burned!”Julius felt so cold. The priest bent to hack them. “Fine!” Claudia unsheathed the short sword. “Karack Warn!” She picked the witch’s purse. The Lycan threw the black powder. “Beware of the Dark.” They went up in flames. Julius made the sign of the cross. He really disliked the rats. “Great.” Claudia aimed to shoot the spiders. He took the gems. “Let it be.” Julius went into the cave. He got to follow. The torches hung further afar then before. “There is something wrong.” Julius could see beyond the obvious. The crypt was cold. Though it was dank as well. “Eclecia.” This was notalright. The water dripped from the ceiling. “The order is to blame.” The earth had turned to mud beneath his boots. “There you are.” Julius finally had caught up. She leaped above the spikes. Julius made the sign of the cross. Then he ran. Julius got above. They reached the cells. “There is nobody here!” Claudia exclaimed. He made no comment. Julius went to cut down the shrubbery. “Watch out!” The Lycan advanced. They got through. The corridor was short. The other end got overgrown by that same green-life. “So let it be.” Julius made the sign of the cross. They got surrounded by the crypt. The draft was freezing. The priest tightened his grip. “Awake!” The warlock spoke in imperious command. “Dracul!” He bellowed. “Do my biddings!” Julius had accepted the challenge. “God with us!” He cried. The zombies pushed through the ground. Claudia screamed. She shot the bats. He got ahead. Julius pierced the heart. “Rise!” The zombies got put to rest. The warlock summoned the rest. The crypt was open. The ghouls would take him. “Come to me.” The lady was undead. Claudia howled. She was among the undead. Julius made a row of fireballs to fall down. “Alright!” The zombies threw their heads. He hurled the five daggers. They burst on impact. The conjurer hid behind his shield. Claudia threw the powder. She challenged the vampire. Julius forged the pyre sword. The warlock tried to shoot him. He revealed the sacrificial knife. The priest threw the axe forward. “Not this time.” The man got the shield. Julius made a glide. He got up to strike with the platinum sword. The warlock was taken aback. “Rest in peace!” The warlock was not the necromancer. The shield broke to pieces. “Then your time is over!” Julius presented the crucifix. The globe exploded into their faces. The priest got the laurels. That saved his life. The warlock was shrieking. He was not immortal. “Then so let it be.” Julius gave him a clean strike. He made a back-flip to escape the explosion. “That was close.” Laura punched him like a black cat. The priest staggered behind. Julius still got the sword. The lady impaled herself. He returned the gaze. She might rest. The body burned. “Alright.” Claudia retrieved the gems. The priest continued to cut the shrubbery. The plantlife was tight. She made it to burn. Julius shrugged. That was one solution. “Then which way?” He asked. They reached a crossroad. Claudia sniffed the opening. She looked confused. “Wait here.” She requested. Julius remained. The Lycan vanished into the passage. She then returned. Claudia was stern. “They got taken away.” Julius arched an eyebrow. She sat on the floor. “They were held in prison.” She inspected the tunnel. “They are gone.” Julius got to consider. “You will find them.” He assured. “I can.” Claudia found the scent. The priest looked about. The cave was narrow. “Look out!” The crypt went cold. The bats swept for blood. “Save us!” They kept together. “For Karack Warn!” Claudia shouted. The coffins rattled. He would hunt.

Courtyard, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They joined forces. Thomas and Cedric got to attack. The cyborg was too quick and agile. The knights came from both sides. The bitch looked too small and skinny.That was a set-up. She twirled with the light sabre to tackle his guard. Cedric snarled. He had charged the axe. The bounty-hunter killed Hamish. He was his cousin. She managed to trap Albert in a rope. “Blasted!” They at least wrecked the destroyer. Thomas was on the offence. “Burn in Hell!” He attacked with the trident. The cyborg lifted off while firing the blasters. “Take cover!” They managed to deflect the weapons. That was not important. “She got a homing device!“ Cedric threw himself sideways. He wasn’t stupid enough to try against the rockets. “Twisted!” Thomas howled. “No!” The sonic blast sent her flying. She held onto her weapon. The bounty-hunter climbed upon her knees to fire with her arm-cannon. “Not this time.” Cedric deflected the onslaught. That was too much. The Lycan got pushed behind. “Alright.” The knight approached. The cyborg threw the sabre like a boomerang. Thomas got away. “She is out of rockets!” That was a relief. The cyborg kept blasting. Thomas threw the garlic. The light sabre exploded. “This is not the end. The cyborg bent to pick a holdout weapon.

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

This really was nasty. Claudia got angry. The order had no right to meddle in the royal tomb. The dragon head turnedto breathe flame. She wished Thomas was here. “We cannot get out!” Julius had figured out the puzzle. They couldn’t destroy the cannon. “Come on!” He cried. “Kill me now!” The priest tried to make them to shoot each other. “For Karack Warn!” Claudia aimed for the bats. They swept for blood. The heads turned to fire. “That is the way.” He sidestepped the attack. The fire melted the sun lock. “So let it be!” The gate was open. Claudia sighed. “Right.” She remarked. Though they got to continue into the crypt labyrinth.

The bats squeaked with blood thirst. Julius made it to rain with holy water. “Glory be You!” He gotsome peace and quiet. “Our Father in Heaven!” He frowned. The cave went too quiet. “Preserve us from the wicked One.” Julius touched the crucifix. The Lycanthrope got ahead. Julius reached the opening. This was a tomb. “Blessed be.” There were no dragons in here. “Are you sure this is the right spot?” The priest got to ask. “I think so.” Claudia looked about. Julius changed grip upon the sword. “This is a dead end.” Claudia changed into her true form. “There might be a way.” He made the sign of the cross. “Let it be.” He summoned the clone. “Be what may be.” This might make them into the thieves. Julius would not be theghoul. Julius was half-way across the floor before he noticed the truth. “They are not the true dead!” She howled. The tombs got lit up with that eerie blue light. He made the sign of the cross. “The order is to blame!” Claudia bellowed. “The necromancer cast the curse!” He sighed. Julius was not surprised. He figured. “We got to melt the ice.” He reached into his backpack. The priest still kept a bottle. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” Julius then tightened the grip. The order had gathered before the broken tomb. “You might become our human sacrifice.” The witches laughed together. “Enough.” The warlock told. He looked grim beneath the hood. “You shall regret ever having opposed us.” The vampire proclaimed. “The order of Shadow.” She got black hair. “Let it be.” Julius remained tall. “The Dark Lord can never be defeated.” The Belmonts knew the truth. “You are merely a tread in the pattern.” The man dismissed. “That doesn’t matter.” The warlock acknowledged. “Prepare to be terminated.” “Kill him!” The witches climbed on their broomsticks. “All who oppose the prince of Darkness must die.” The men unsheathed their knives and daggers. “Dracul!” They went into battle. “Darkness.” The powder exploded. “Let it be!” Julius buried the blade into the heart of the warlock. “Fine!” Claudia threw the sickles. She encountered the witches. The clone crushed the skull. Julius presented the crucifix. He stamped the warlock. The man staggered. “God with us!” The priest threw the dagger. He must be quick. Another warlock knelt to conjure the dead. “Preserve us!” The clone got shot. Julius threw the axe. He made it to split in three. “Dracul!” !” The witch shrieked. She burned into ashes. Claudia leapedforward. “For Karack Warn!” She tore the throat of the warlock. The clone gouged the witch’s heart. Then he vanished. “Then solet it be.” They fought back-to-back. Claudia took the powder. “Get away from me!” The priest inhaled. His gauntlets burned. Julius repelled the onslaught. “Kill the Belmont!” Claudia escaped. The three surviving witches circled to might find an opening. “Not again!” She revealed the claws. “Leave him alone!” She scratched the witch. This was the moment. Julius threw the Shuriken. The sorcerer staggered. He got burned. Julius retrieved the weapon. The Lycanthrope threw the powder. “Rest in peace.” The witch was dead. “You shall die!” The final woman threw herself down. “Never!” Claudia shrieked. She pulled the short sword. The lady got impaled on impact. Claudia pushed him aside. She protected against the flames. That left her gasping upon the floor. Julius knelt to use the laurels. That might ease the pain. “For great is the Lord!” He proclaimed. The last warlock bent down. They beheld each other. “Then hark.” He told. “You underestimate the power of the dark side.” The warlock hissed. Julius made no reply. “Lord.” There was something else. “Preserve us from the wicked One.” He breathed. “You shall never know when I come upon you.” Julius reached for the crucifix. The warlock laughed. “Behold!” He exclaimed. “The power of Shadow!” The figure moved. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” Julius held the sword upright. “Then let Your will be done!” The enflamed cross burned above. “In Manos Toas Domine!” Julius got lifted into the air. “God with us!” His image burned bright enough for him to see. The body fell from the ceiling. “There is very rude to interrupt someone enjoying her meal.” The shadow had appeared in front. “Or should I think different?” The Lycan was awake. “Like the main dish has arrived?” The redhead laughed. The sound was both crazy and cold. He felt at a loss. “Then let me embrace you.” The lady was clad in crimson, gold and rubies. “I promise to make you immortal.” Julius sighed. “The brides of Dracula.” He got the sword. She had accepted his embrace. My family name is Hunter.” She explained. “I am Ruth.” Julius felt the venom. “That is false.” She was a bride. “You are not the one!” Ruth rolled. She came up to kick him. Julius groaned. The lady used both legs. He presented the crucifix. She got scorched. “The knights are alive!” Claudia told. He was too busy. Ruth struck him. Julius hit the stomach. She rolled aside. The armoured sentinels carried the spears and shields. Ruth sent him a dual knee-kick. “God with us!” The priest leaped above. Julius threw the vial. She screamed. The flames burned her flesh. She punched. Julius used the laurels. “Blasted!” The Lycan threw the scythes. The sentinel took them upon his shield. Julius threw the axe. Ruth made a back-flip. Her blue eyes burned with Hellfire. “Save us!” The axe split in three. The lady dodged. Julius caught her by the wrists. The gauntlets burned. Ruth began to scream. She vanished like mist. “Twisted!” Claudia waisted her powder. She defeated the sentinel. The armour got left as a distraction. Ruth returned. “Right.” The name was a part of his fancy. Ruth Van Helsing was one of the few women to defeat him. She approached. Ruth got claws. The mail saved his life. Ruth snarled. She put her arms in front. He must remove the head. She was hurt. Ruth gave a high kick. He opened the holy book. The pages cut into her body. “Thiscannot be!” Ruth cried. “I, a vampire, defeated by a merehuman?!” The head fell down. The body went up in flames. Claudia obtained the garlic. She used them toblow the armour. The sentinels stabbed for the heart. Julius made it to rain. The armour got crushed.

The laser-sight got turned on the tribe. Iris howled. “Roger, Roger.” She shrieked with power. The super battle-droid got immune to her sonic attack. “Die.” She threw herself sideways. “Terminate the Lycan.” The robot calculated for her expected mobility. “Here goes nothing.” His twin laser cannons dodgedher track. Iris hid behind the sculptures. “The alternatives.” The super battle-droid was unable to react. The machine got crushed beneath the rubble. “Right.” Iris exhaled. She retained human form. The people smashed the robots. “Look out!” This was not the end. “Fire when ready.” The super battle-droids got armed with launchers. Hugo came from behind. The young Lycanthrope tore the head of the robot. “Roger, Roger.” The lineman turned to fire. The rockets exploded on impact. Hugo used the robot like a shield. His blast sent him flying. Iris howled. He got a punch out. The sonic attack cut him to pieces. The machine got crumbled. He moved no more. Iris felt so tired. “They are going to kill us.” Their children hid within the temple. She went for the heart of the combat. “Burn in Hell!” Cedric staggered. The knights struggled against the cyborg. “Twist it!” Iris knew her name. “It is you.”She represented the Brencorp industries. Iris got to warn the others about her.

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The pile of spiked armour got shot to pieces. Claudia smirked. That never reached the eyes. That was the final guard. “This is some hot stuff.” She found the garlic within the lamp. Thomas had proved their potential. She dismissed. The ice was melting. “Hello Justin.” Claudia relaxed. “Long time, no see.” The Lycan got released. He brushed off the frost. “Thank the founders.” Justin exhaled. “You found us.” Claudia shrugged. “Come with me.” She encouraged. “You have to help me.” Claudia looked about. “We must save the others.” “Karack Warn!” Justin howled. She relaxed. Claudia was glad they hadn’tdefiled the tombs.

The tomb was octagonal in shape. Julius made the sign of the cross. The torches burned high. they illuminated the crypt. Claudia would rescue her clansfolk. He gave her the bottle. “Right!” There should be no trouble. Julius made the sign of the cross. He got work to do. Julius was a vampire hunter. He felt the presence. The tomb was in shadow. “Preserve us.” They dabbled in the dark arts. “Show yourself.” They performed a rite. “I feel your presence.” Julius was not afraid. He knew the Lord would be with him. The priest slowly approached. The huge sarcophagus was made for someone exalted or beloved. “You are not the hunter.” The figure pushed through the floor. Julius beheld the vampire. He would be more careful. “Hail thee, heir to the house of Belmont.” He heard that before. “I am the lady of the crypt.” He made a stance. “You are the bride of Mathias Krohnquist.” He shuddered. She was cold. The priest had learnedabout her story. This was Rinaldo’s daughter. “Then so let it be.” Walter Bernhardt used her to engage the brotherhood founder in his game. “Nay.” She said. “Thou arth mistaken.” Julius tightened the grip. “I was thetrue queen of the forgotten city.” Her armour got painted with bright colours. “The order of Shadow gave me the eternal life.” The helmet concealed the upper portions of her features. Julius recognised about the status. The iron collard couldn’t hide the red lips and fangs. Her laugher filled the cave with evil. “The echoes born of Darkness.” Julius got the Stellar sword. “Preserve us from the evil One!” The lady had vanished. “Thou believe.” Julius looked about. He got to find her. “Thy pest.” She reappeared behind his back. “Thy blood.” The lady of the crypt bent to kiss his neck. “That shall replenish mine power.” Julius turned around to face her. “Do nay challenge me.” The lady reached inside the flared-jacket to unsheathe her blades. “Thou killed mine pray.” She captured his sword. “Thou shall pay for having disturbed mine resting-place.” She told. The priest got away. He knew she might pull him under. “Open Hell’s gate!” She decreed. “Come forth, mine servants!” The zombies pushed from beneath the ground. “God with us!” The priest made the fireball to chase and destroy. “May! Curse thee, Belmont!” They burned. Julius advanced. The lady returned into the earth. “Preserve us.” The shrine must be defiled. The priest would purify the den. The vampire had returned. She came with her arms on fire. Julius threw the dagger. She shrieked. The knives split in five. He made the sign of the cross. The zombies pulled out to take him. Juliusgot behind the spinning books. She reappeared. Her fangs got exposed. The gaze burned behind the helmet. She carried the queen’s crown. She stabbed through the tomes. Julius tripped. He got behind. That saved his life. “Come.” The undead lady reached with her arms on fire. “Let it be!” Julius doused her with holy water. She screamed. The liquid burned her armour. He looked about. “Right.” The lady was gone. Julius retrieved the sword. The zombies had arrived. He got to fight. “Thou arth forsaken.” The lady grasped his arm. “Kiss mine.” She cooed. “I desire thy final breath.” “So let it be!” The gravity well pulledunder. Julius picked the knife. He carried in the boot. They gathered. Julius had to present the crucifix. “Nay!” The undeadlady hid her face. “It cannot be Him!” The stone cross appeared overhead. “The Great One!” She shrieked. “Then glory be You!” The image burst. “Our Father in Heaven!” The splinters of emerald jabbed into the armour. The zombies got cut to pieces. Julius struck with the Stellar sword. The undead lady got hurt. Her blood stained the earth. Julius made a back-flip. He was afraid. The blood was accursed. The priest made the sign of the cross. “Be gone!” She might pollute his soul. “Eternal night.” The lady of the crypt swept like bats. Julius presented the Stellar sword. “Then so let it be.” He got into a defensive posture. She approached with the arms and swords on fire. “Save us!” Julius figured the assault. “God with us!” He forged the pyre sword. “Thy time arth over.” The clash of weapons sent echoes throughout the tomb. “Open Hell’s gate!” She beckoned. “Come forth, mine servants!” The lady exposed her fangs. “Leave in piece.” Julius shuddered. The priest got to fight. “God with us!” Julius threw himself sideways. “Blood of the hunter.” He made a row of meteors to fall down. The zombies got crushed beneath the onslaught. “Awake the Shadow.” She dabbled in necromancy. “Thou shall die.” The cold was too much. She reached into the ground. Julius threw the axe. He made it to split in three. “Curse thee!” The lady could not escape. Not this time. The axe got buried in her chest. She screamed. Blood oozed from between her lips. “Then haunt me no longer.” Julius presented the crucifix. She burned. He marked her cheek. “Save us.” Julius felt sick by the stench. “That thy think.” The lady smiled. She could pull him under. The fist was on fire. Julius grabbed the axe. “Accursed thee!” She bellowed. Julius twisted to might take the heart. “This is for the tribe!” Julius fed the Bible. The lady released him. She fell on the ground. “Preserve us from evil.” The smoke emanated from within the corpse. “Rest in peace.” Julius got to complete the hunt. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” Julius made the sign of the cross. “Thee cannot conquer” The voice was like a battering-ram to his heart. “I live as energy.” Julius tightened the grip. “The battle might be fought in many forms.” She got thegreater power. “Hark, and despair!” She screamed. “I am the Shadow!” The killer mantis was large as a lorry. She climbed on ice. He knelt down. She awaited the attack. Her eyes burned. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” Julius proclaimed. “Karack Warn!” The Lycan had arrived. Claudia got ahead. “Save us!” The priest got lifted off the floor. “Open Hell’s gate!” The mantis demanded. “Come forth, mine servants!” The shadow crawlers appeared to either side. “Karack Warn!” She got busy. This was a disaster. Julius reached for the crucifix. The crawlers might consume their souls.

Courtyard, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The missiles launched. Hugo blinked. “Roger, Roger.” The super battle-droids got to release. That was quite the computer. “Alright.” He got to fight. The linemen fired. “Twist the lot!” The electric lasers stunned even his people. Hugo retrieved the wild rose flower. “Blast you.” The explosion shook the courtyard. That was some impact. The robots got shoot to pieces. Hugo got up. “Karack warn!” He was ready to fight. The linemen gathered up. “Stand by.” The group leader was in charge. “Stand by.” He repeated. “Fire at will.” The tubes went up. “Missile prepare.” Hugo threw himself sideways. “Alternatives?” The controller requested. “Give him the rocket.” The leftmost missile bot got the idea. “Never mind.” Hugo growled. He transformed into the man-beast form. “Blast you!” He howled. “I shall tear you apart!” The lycanthrope leaped onto the robot. Hugo got the strength. He threw the launcher away. The missile exploded. The group got destroyed by the impact. “The long live the queen!” Hugo howled his victory. “Not again!” The laser sent him flying. “Twisted!” He got stunned. That was a repeat. Hugo fell on the floor. The remaining battlegroup prepared their weapons. “You may fire when ready.” There was a secondary controller. Hugo inhaled. He got to fight.

The crypt labyrinth, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The dark secrets of Mana. Claudia might feel the malice chill. “What awaited in the deep.” The shadow crawlers made manifest. She watched them mature into their natural incarnation. “What began in blood.” From liquid into the worm, into mantis. “Should end with blood.” They fed on souls. “You are not there.” The void was their reality. “Beware of the Dark.” That was her scare. The manifest of shadow would use their pincers to crush her. “Alright.”Claudia had to accept their presence. Only then she could fight. “I will not be the weak link.” Dread and malice was their weapons. Claudia howled her challenge. She would face the lot.

They crawled about. Julius doused them with holy water. “Away from me Satan!” He cried. “The Lord you shall worship!” The crawlers stenched of evil. “Him alone!” They got burned. Julius exhaled. “In the name of the Lord.” They could be hurt. Thus they might be banished. He made the sign of the cross. “Look out!” The tribe pumped with plasma. Heacknowledged. “Then so let it be.” He had to concentrate. The mantis was alive. She came crawling forward. Julius threw the axe. She laughed. He lost the target. The mantis picked him up. “Mine pray.!” The pinchers grew tight. “I have thee now.” She beheld his struggle. She enjoyed the misery. “Thou arth to suffer.” The monster bellowed. “Thee should harken to the Master’s voice.” That was impossible. Julius shuddered. He got lifted up to the eye level. “Leave me alone!” The praying mantis was about to bite the head off. Julius cracked the vial between her eyes. “God with us!” The monster bellowed in pain. The pincers might cut him apart. “Let it be.” Julius threw the crystal. He made it to split in three. The mantis released him. Julius got away. He rolled to safety. He got up to watch as the fire burned her body. “Preserve us from Evil.” The shadow crawlers would box him in. Julius threw five daggers. The creatures exploded. The brother bent to fetch him. “Karack warn!” Claudia returned. She pumped with plasma.

Hegot the gems. The great monster reached into the ground. Julius made the sign of the cross. The mantis pulled a huge boulder from beneath the earth. She held the rock above. “Save us!” Julius couldn’t stay. The lady of the crypt broke her projectile into a debris spread-shot. “Preserve us!” He ran to escape. The Lycan got aside. Claudia would not be the pray. “Finally!” The monster picked her up. “I got you.” She laughed while watching the struggle. Claudia threw the scythes. That was close. The pinchers might crush her. “Curse you wolf!” The lady of the crypt refused to leave her. “Let it be.” Julius reached for the holy book. “Karack Warn!” Claudia got the bottle. The fire was like the blue liquid. That melted the ice. The monster shrieked. “Cursed thee!” She got the flames in her eyes. Claudia got released. The Lycanthrope hurled the purse into her mouth. “Leave me alone!” The Bibhuti exploded. Claudia leaped away. She got to fight the crawlers. Julius came to help her. “Thou will die!” The lady picked and hurled another debris onslaught. The people got hurt. “So let it be!” Julius beheaded the crawler. The lady of the crypt reached to take him. He picked the gems. “God with us!” Julius was a true Belmont. He threw the axe. The weapon was on fire. “Cursed thee!” The lady bellowed. “The Master take thee!” The axe hit between her knees. The Mantis staggered. The Lycan used the opportunity. Claudia filled her with sickles. “Perfect!” The monster burned. She retreated into the niche. “Let it be.” Julius approached. The evil crawlers were about. They climbed on the walls and ceiling. The lady was getting up. She used the pinchers as weapons. The Lycan got scattered. Julius opened the mystic book. He made the fireballs to chase and destroy. They got burned. The mantis shed rivers of blood. She didn’t die! The monster was too big. She squeezed the tribe. “Save us!” Julius beckoned. “We perish!” The enflamed cross appeared above. “God with us!” He cried. “Cursed thee!” The mantis had noticed. That was too late. The cross burst apart. The fire absorbed the lady. The tribe howled. She was dead. The body fell into a heap. The mystic orb hit the floor. “Salvation.” Julius inhaled. The Lycan picked the orb. She got restored. “Then so let it be.” The priest might heal the others. “Thank you Julius.” Claudia approached. “For everything.” She embraced him. “You saved us.” Julius sighed. He shared her warmth. Julius released her. He went to inspect the hidden chamber. The Lycan got to follow. “That is the warp point.” The priest remembered. “We use them to move throughout the citadel.” Claudia told. “Preserve us from the evil One.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “I do not know the way.” They exchanged glances. “I believe in you.” She told. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth.” Julius exhaled. He wished he got her bravery. The priest brushed his blonde hair. He sighed. “Trust me.” He got dirty. “Then kneel before the mirror.” Julius bent. “Hold your hands. Believe in the Lord.” Claudia reacted upon the words. The tribe looked upon eachother. Finally they knelt. “Let be Your will.” Julius would submit to the Lord. Everything blinked. They got taken to another place. “This is it.” Julius kept her hand. She returned the favour. “Alright.” They could see again. “Blessed be the Lord.” Julius proclaimed. He would hunt. “To fight the righteous battle.” The priest gripped the sword. “They can’t conquer forever!”

The temple, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They returned. Julius made the sign of the cross. “Let it be.” He went to investigate the area. The Lycan spread out. “The wall is frozen.” Julius discovered. “You don’t have to worry.” Claudia picked the bottle. “I returned to refill it.” He acknowledged. “Get ready to rumble.” The Lycan threw the liquid fire. The ice was melting. “Thank you.” She gave him the bottle. Julius put it in the backpack. “Come on!” They left the niche. “To fight the righteous battle.” The priest made the sign of the cross. This was a war-zone. The temple was in an uproar. “Preserve us from the evil One.” The children huddled together. Julius unsheathed the sword. The lesser Lycanthropes fought to hold the exits. “Let it be.” He inspected the crypt entrance. The tunnel caved in. “Great is the mystery of faith.” He resigned. “What do we do now?” Claudia remained. The other clansfolk got involved with the combat. “We do what we must. He inhaled. “We hunt the night.” Claudia howled. She changed into her true form. “Hosanna!” He went for the entrance. “Blessed be he who comes in the name of the Lord!” They had to regroup. “Prepare the launch.” The battle-droids commenced. “Roger, Roger.” “God with us!” He got beneath the rockets. Julius summoned the books. The missiles burst.

Courtyard, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The robots blasted away. Thomas blazed with the power. He threw both the garlic and roses. The knight got to get through. “Roger, Roger.” The battle-droids got shot to pieces. “Right!” Thomas howled. He twirled with the halberd. The bounty-hunter activated the back-up team. “Die you beast.” The super battle-droids got aimed. Thomas snarled. “I shall tear you up.” They got armed with heavy laser cannons. “They got warper crystals!” Anna cried. “I know.” He noticed about the emeralds. Thomas threw the stake. He pierced the control box. “Behold!” Thomas presented the mystic book. “The wonders of God!” He blocked the blast. That was not enough. “Twisted!” The robots shot with the homing blasters. He got prepared. “Touch on me!” Anna danced. She activated the war force. “Thanks!” She saved his lives. Thomas smirked. She danced to make lightning strike. They gathered about. He fired a beam. The robots got shot. Michael and Robert exchanged glances. “That is nothing.” He sighed. Anna beamed. She got adored. “Freeze!” The super battle-droids got them surrounded. “Roger, Roger.” The robots prepared the launchers. “Come and get me.”The knight blinked. The Gypsy revealed her charm. Thomas snarled. This was a plot. He would hunt for the tribe.

The robots intensed the combat. Anna danced. “Watch on me!” The bunch would not listen. “Stronger we are!” The machines had no emotions. “In the name of the Lord!” She cried. Julius looked both torn and ragged. “God with us!” The priest returned. “Then so let it be!” He forged the pyre sword. “Karack Warn!” Claudia survived. The princess sent them away. Julius had figured about the hot spot. “Preserve us from evil!” He fought to reach the cyborg. She held up against both Cedric and Thomas. Anna blocked the robot. She used the star field. They paid no attention. The Gypsy recognised the Brencorp insignia. “Let me be beautiful.” “Clockwork.” Anna stopped them in time. The Gypsy danced to make the lightning strike. The cyborg picked a hold-out weapon. The flame thrower gave an edge. They pulled behind. Julius approached. “Right!” She covered his attack. He summoned the circle of crosses. “Leave us!” The vampire hunter made a row of fireballs to fall down. “This is the moment.” The bounty-hunter got away. Julius hid behind the books. The cyborg got the seeker crystals. He got in trouble. “God with us!” The priest made it to rain with holy water. She got away. Julius threw the axe. The replacement arm exploded. “You shall pay!” She sped away.

The robots got deactivated. Marina relaxed. She sat on the fountain. Brencorp was to blame. The princess told about theirbase. She figured. That had to be the source of the pollution. “We shouldmade truce with the resistance.” Claudia looked exhausted. “We are the Lycan.” Iris insisted. “Nobody wants us.” The little witch ran through the book. “Mother of river.” They had asked for volunteers. Marina picked with the necklace. “The tribe aren’t popular.” Julius made the sign of the cross. “You have to negotiate.” He frowned. “Leave that to me.” The Gypsy struck a pose. “I am the ambassador.” She blew a kiss. Thomas shook his head. She was quite the girl. The tribe exchanged glances. “Relax.” Anna reached to hold him. “Trust me.” She told. “I won’t let you down.” Anna smiled. “Go and destroy their factory.” She meant every word. “I won’t let you down.” Anna kissed him. “I shall negotiate the pact.” Thomas acknowledged. She would be put to the test. He hoped she might keep the promise. “We meet up at Dabias.” Thomas tested the air. She smelled nervous. “I believe in you.” Julius told. She sighed. Anna got to make it. “Let it be.” The priest made the sign of the cross. “Let us continue.” He told. “The spring is polluted.” Marina was serious. That was a problem.

Living quarters, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

The weapons were cooling. Daria checked the instruments. They almost caused a burnout. The Cyborg got to re-energize. Daria returned to her private workshop. She replaced the arm. The arsenal was ready. She put them away. Daria bent. She got the signal. “Hail the count.” The employer would hate to be waiting. Daria would not disappoint upon their contract. “Then I salute you my lord.” She hailed upon approach. “I see you survived the encounter.” The face appeared above the holo-projector. She felt the source. The presence was strong. “You have become strong.” The cyborg inhaled. “That is the way I am.” Daria acknowledged. “I shall return the payment.” The bounty-hunter had failed the mission. Daria was grateful. She was alive. “I give you the gold.” Daria submitted herself. “That will not be necessary.” The smile appeared on his face. “You might keep the price.” The voices belonged to the Dark. “You will receive an additional bounty.” He explained. “Yes my lord.” She remained calm. “As you wish.” Daria got confused. “You shall serve my power.” The cyborg would comply. “I enlist you as a bodyguard.” She gave the salute. “Like you command, my lord.” She told. This would be interesting. “Return to the nest.” He instructed. Then the image disappeared.

Hidden docks, forgotten city. The 21^st. of December 2098 A.D.

They inspected the submarine. Julius made the sign of the cross. “Then here we go again.” Thomas sighed. “Then so let it be.” The priest remarked. “That is perfect.” Thomas shrugged. “I don’t think the order got naiads in mind when they designed this.” He laughed. “Alright.” Marina climbed into the chair. “Let me have a look.” She looked like a child. “This is easy.” She informed. “Trust me.” They exchanged glances. “Get ready.” Julius touched the crucifix. Thomas looked eager. “Alright.” The eyes shone like polished gold. He would be the pilot. “God with us.” Julius shuddered. The little witch occupied the other seat. “Then let us pray.” He made the sign of the cross. “We have to get through.” Marina sent him a look. “Relax.” The chamber got filled with water. “You have to be more careful.” Julius became nervous. They never used a submarine before. This had to work. “Let us see what this bucket can do.” The knight told about the life with his father. Thefamily got their own toys. “Copy that.” They went below water. Marinaswitched on the screen. “Right.” He looked out the viewport. “Hang on.” They approached the base. “Sit down.” Thomas instructed. He used the radio. “Let me speak.” Julius bent forward. “We have you on our screens now. Please identify.”

That was a polite British voice. Thomas bit his lip. He recognised the tingle. He snarled. “They got a magnetic field.” The scales went over the top. “This is the shuttle “Cagnazzo.” The knight pulled together. “We are requesting the deactivation of yourdefensive shield.” They waited for a reply. “Look on the size of that thing.” Marina breathed. The base was big. “Please transpire clearance code for shield passage. Stand by.” Thomas growled. “Transmission commencing.” He pushed the button. He told. “Why aren’t they responding?” The priestbecame concerned. “She must have put the request through to a higher command.” Marina picked with the necklace. They got to destroy the lantern. “They aren’t going for it.” The knight muttered. Julius kept quiet. “Shuttle “Cagnazzo.” The voice returned. “Deactivation of the shield will commence immediately. Please follow your present course.” Thomas exhaled. “You are free to dock on platform C.”The knight returned to business. “Welcome to the nest.” Marina quenched a giggle. “Thank you.” He quit the transmission. They tracked the Coordinates.The submarine picked up. “You must prepare for combat.” Thomas kept by the instrument. “Alright.” Marina told. The priest got to unsheathe the sword.

The lantern loomed above. Marina was in charge. She looked above her shoulder. “Let it be.” The priest left his seat. She got worried. “What is that thing?” Marina had to ask. “Treasure.” Julius kept the purse. What might be inside? “Anna gave them to me.” The priest explained. She disliked the aura. Thomas bared his teeth. The three blue gemstones fell into his hand. “The seeker stones.” The knight left his seat. “The white princess gave her the elf stones.” Julius inhaled. “They are an ancient artefact.” She might tell. “From the realm of the fairies.” The little witchgot to picture. “Long live the queen.” She whispered. Julius tightened the grip. The dark-breed was curious. “She told me to give them away.” The priest replaced the price. Thomas growled. She noticed. The priest made them to disappear. “Thomas.” She beckoned. “I need your help.” They had reached destination.“Get ready.” The priest instructed. “Beginnings.” She licked her lips. They waited while the area got detained. The men lined up. “Then let us hunt the night.” The priest made the sign of the cross. “You are the Belmont.” Thomas released the hatch. He stopped to reload the rifle. “Black sun.” They were so brave. She cracked with the whip. The doors slid aside. Marina would cleanse the lantern.

The “Maid and dragon”, Vegol village. The 22^nd. Of December 2098 A.D.

The girls moaned. Elayne spread her legs. The man kept the wrist tied overhead. “Yes!” Saroya was riding upon his friends. “Excellent!” The redhead was barely 16 years old. ”Continue! You little slut!” She got a lot of stamina. Sancha lusted to entertain. “You whore!” The brunette was an enchantress. She got to use her magic. Elayne gasped. “Let us have fun.” He pulled on her golden hair. The grasp made dark stains upon her body. Elayne had no mind. She reached climax. The sorceress felt like being put on fire. He fell on top. “That was good.” Elayne felt so dirty. She got to wash again. The man gave her the money. “Cute little tigress.” He tracked her features. “Maybe you are the best.” The man smiled. Her face grew crimson. Elayne was a witch. She would not be a harlot. The little blonde was sobbing again. “Dracul.” She wept with shame. The tears ruined her makeup. Saroya got finished. His friend got spent. The man went between her legs. Saroya cheered. That was the pay off. Elayne got amused. “All who oppose the prince of Darkness must die.” Saroya gazed into her blue eyes. “Nine.” Elayne met the green stare. “Black witchcraft.” Saroya breathed. She regained composure. They groaned. Sancha reached her climax. The men gave them money. Elayne had to serve.

(A.N: I’m really sorry for this long update. This is a long chapter. I wish to thank the producers of OoS and LoS MoF for some key inspiration. Some other elements got inspired by my personal favourite, CotM. Have a nice time.)
