“Three pretty petals”, Dora wood. The 23^rd. of December 2098 A.D.

The hour was close to midnight. Lucy had conquered. The wind wisped outside the building. “For this is my decision.” The heat went roaring up the chimney. “This have to be the end.” The golden hair got kept in place by her headband. “I am Lucy Belmont.” She got the sword. “I killed the goblins.” The girls looked nervous. “They stole our items.” Gabrielle sighed. That was right. Lucy shook her head. “They won’t do that again.” She touched the crucifix. Lucy made a grimace. That wasn’t nice. “Then be what may be.” She would hunt the night. “That doesn’t change anything.” Merchedez quenched their optimism. “We have to fight.” Lucy told. “The dark priest is gone.” She removed his head. “Though the landlord is alive.” The man was hiding. “The Lord is with us.” Olivia gazed above the glasses. “I am a witch.” She pulled down the hat. “You should kill me.” Lucy held her gloves. “I won’t.” She smiled. “For I have no reason.” Lucy sighed. “Only he I can never forget.” They gazed upon her. “You shall not let a witch to live.” Ingrid bit her lip. “Tell me about it.” Lucy closed her eyes. She got tired. “There are Christian witches.” They got blessed with supernatural abilities. Lucy would fight the righteous battle. “You must make your own mind.” Susan encouraged.

They had left. Malpheffa lay on the bed. “Thee call me the “wild rose.” She was alone again. The lady pulled down the frames. They were made of blue and red silk. She broke the mirror. That was of no concern. The vampire got adored. The people worshipped her ebony skin. Malpheffa smiled. She exposed her fangs. “Dracul.” The body was exquisite and voluptuous.She was the perfect mistress. “Then love me.” Malpheffa wore a simplewhite nightgown. “And despair.” She emptied the crimson champagne glass in one sip. “For the Dark Lord.” She smashed it against the floor. That left a second stain upon the tapestries. She had no mind. The servants would prepare her chambers. “Lady.” Master Bernhardt removed the curtains. “Arththycertain?” The alchemist stood straight like a soldier. He was Dracula’s servant. Malpheffa met his blue eyes. “You have grown strong.” The vampire dismissed the comment. He looked into the distance. “There is a dead voice calling.” She licked her fangs. “Listen.” Malpheffa leaned against the pillows. “I hear nothing.” The red hair framed her features. “Then thou shall come to me.” She invited. “Let us rest together.” She cravedfor his power. His eyes burned red with the fires of Hel. “Thouwench.” He told. “They havearrived.”

Forest of Debias, Warakiya. The 23^rd.Of December 2098 A.D.

The wind rustled through the branches. Regin had left the blacksmith to serve the soldiers. “This was the last of the gear.” Sigurd put down the crate. “They prepare for war.” Regin told. The half-dwarf went around the cottage. He got to find his daughter. Tera had to be here. “What? By the… !” He found the slut. “Ah, um.” The boyar clansman got her at his mercy. The girlgot to use her mouth to please. “The messenger sent by the Master.” Tera breathed. “He groaned. “You are His purchase.” Regin approached. “” The path up to here is safe now.” Tera kept caressing herself. “Be careful.” The clansman told. She gasped. “Who are you!?” The warrior tugged at her blonde hair. “I am Roland Fortesque.” He revealed. “I am a knight.” Tera looked up through her golden eye lashes. “Yes!” She cried. “The Master is with you!” The knight forced himself between her lips. “For the blood is the life.” He bit her wrist. “Ah!” Tera then shrieked in ecstasy. The blacksmith beheld the event. Who had been her teacher? She was shameless. Regin disliked the outcome. Though there were other things to consider. “My lord.” They would have to discuss about it later. That had to wait. “The gear is ready.” The pair got occupied. “For that is the way!” The knight then climaxed into her face.

The hunter got killed by the skeletons. Daniella bit her lip. That was not their first victim. Shea got taken by the zombies. The greyhound saved the body. “They are both in Your hands.” The dwarf cleaned his face. “Nevermore.” Virginia shed her tears. “Dracula is to blame.” Daniella felt so torn. She got to keep her focus. “Attack!” Bern led his Centaurs into battle. “For Warakiya!” She went along. The Laruba mansion lay ahead. “Then come with me!” Willhelm hit the harpy. “Watch out!” Henry struckwith the blade. “You filthy human scum!” The witch was screaming. “Oh my God!” Daniella hid her ears. “Then take this for a gift.” She threw more of the powder. The Bibhuti explodedon impact. They got to split company. “You defiler!” Ithilienhad pined the witch. She was the Unicorn. They were tribe enemies. The witch was dead before reaching the snow. Daniella exhaled. “The lady shall reward me.” “You leave me alone!” She screamed. The humpback tried to tackle. Daniella split his skull. The Minotaur hid in the forest. “You look good enough to eat.” Daniella touched the crucifix. “Stop looking at me like that!” She really disliked the gaze. “War force!” Annaexclaimed. That was perfect. She blazed with power. “Time stop!” The Minotaur got taken aback.

Air-base, Warakiya. The 23^rd. of December 2098 A.D.

The submarine appeared above the water. Desmond exhaled. They got away. “God with us!” The solicitor presented his cross. The bats were awake. They swept to bite him. “Good God!” The stench was that terrible. “They are still alive.” Anette got to charge up the enflamed blast. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” They got ready to fight. Julius made the sign of the cross. The red zombies might eat his friends. The communistsprepared their weapons. “Help us!” Christopher tightened the grip. The cross repelled the dead. “Curse you!” Thomas howled. “Burn in Hell!” The books whirled in front. “Take cover!” The solicitor told. “We must run!” He threw the vial. The bats got burned to ashes. That was a relief. “Forgive me Andrew.” Anette got fresh tears running down her face. “I should have told you.” He shared her sorrow. They had lost too many friends. Desmond sighed. “You cast them out!” The priest demanded. The zombies got locked and loaded. “In the name of the Lord!” Anette summoned her turtle. She got an edge. Anettewent ahead. She became like a human shield. They got to escape. “God with us!” Christopher threw the eight daggers forward. “Thank You God.” He exhaled. The solicitor pierced the lot. That was not the end. “Follow me!” Julius cried.

The fence was ahead. Julius longed for piece and quiet. That got to wait. They had to climb. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” Julius exclaimed. He got to focus. The red soldiers had to stop. They got to reload. “So let it be!” Juliushad obtained the bottle. He made it to rain with holy water. The dead Communists withdrew. They must be burned.“For great is the Lord.” Julius exhaled. He leaned against the fence. The priest got exhausted. That last attack almost drained his force. “Come on!” Desmond called. “We mustcontinue!” Julius sighed. “Alright.” Thomas and Anette already got ahead. “Don’t wait until night!” They leapt to land on the other side. The Soviets had gathered. “Dead man’s walk.” Christopher spoke. “Then what was that about?” Julius got confused. “Never mind that now.” The priest dismissed. The sword storm secured the approach. “Right!” Desmond reached atop. The bats gave them a hard time. The solicitor doused them with holy water. He got the edge. The priest leapt above. The howl told him what to do. His friends got in trouble. “Get lost” Thomas got in front. He released the flames. The man blocked the attack. “Stronger we are!” The secretary exclaimed. “In the name of the Lord!” The tiger leapt. She got shot to pieces.

The machine-gun guards got to reload their weapons. Thomas howled. “They are ready!” They were accursed. “God with us!” The dark-breed retained his true form. “From Hell!”

Theyleft through the exit. “They protect the base!” Anette exclaimed. “Fly my birds,fly!” She spread her arms. Anette let the pigeons fly. “That is how it should be!” Thomas howled. “God with us!” He held the trident high. “For victory!” Thomas cried. The weapon blazed. The knight then stepped into the moonlight. The snow shone bright like his item. “Look out!” The squad got in range. “You leave them alone!” Anette screamed. The guards didn’t listen. They shot the birds. “You must keep behind!” The priest made a row of fireballs to fall down. “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the holy Ghost!” They changed their objective. Desmond had arrived. “You are the devils of the pit.” He then threw the cross-boomerang. They got to counter the assault. “You won’t dare!” The bats spread out. Thomas approached. He got to fight. “The bats carry the curse of Darkness!” Julius told. The knight had no mind. The sonic howl tore through the armour. “Then stronger we are in the name of the Lord!” Anette got removed. The Falcon kept her atop. the meteorsstruck down. That wasimpressive.

The armoured guards then staggered. Anette exhaled. “Watch out!” She fired with the laser. They got to reach the lorry. The secretary pulled on her glasses. The generator had to work. “God with us!” Thomas released the blast. The bats still chased them. She got the crucifix. Anette could almost taste their blood lust. She shuddered. The guards had reloaded. She ran. “Leave us alone!” Desmond threw the daggers. “God in Heaven!” He presented the cross. That was not enough. “Look!” She cried. They pushed through the snow. “Curse you!” Thomas howled. “Get away!” Anette twirled with the flame blast. She created the shield. That gave a breather. “We fight the righteous battle.” Julius informed. They got no time. “Come here!” Thomas opened the car. “Get inside!” They must escape. “Dead men walking.” Desmond pulled the corpses aside. The secretary felt at a loss. She looked for the helicopter. She got to dismiss. The dead soldiers got in between. “Come on!” Christopher got inside. “We have to leave.” She then closed the door. The stench was horrible. She made a grimace. The space was narrow. “Then do not forsake me.” Thomas turned the key. “Keep the faith.” Julius encouraged. “Tell me about it.” Anette relaxed. “Glory be You.” The lorry got started.

The mansion, Laruba mansion. The 23^rd. Of December 2098 A.D.

The bed frames were in place. Malpheffa would amuse herself. The dressing were in ebony, with embroideries in green, red and golden decorations. Everything was dark. She was alone. The vampire played the spinet. “Leave me not.” The tune was soft, though sad. “My lady.” The candle lit her chambers. “Thou should nay be alone. Nay tonight.” Laura held it aloft. Then the music died. “Come closer my dear. To know me better.” The girl was clad in white. Laura looked like an angel. She did not turn away. Laura put the candle upon the instrument. “Dearest friend.” The servant kept her silence. She opened the box. That was the same tune. That she played on the spinet. “Have I failed?” Laura finally spoke. “Of course nay.” Malpheffa touched her cheek. There were nothing left to do about the spells of melancholy. The music stopped. “play for me.” Laura rewind the box. The lady folded her copper hands. Laura turned the key. The box was ancient. Some claimed the music might give eternal youth. That the old should be young again. The box had played while the knight made her his bride. The ruby lips got turned into a smile. Laura made it to play one more time. “Shall we dance?” She then left her stool. “My love.” They moved above the floor. “Yes.” They kissed.

Forest of Debias, Warakiya. The 23^rd.Of December 2098 A.D.

The rangers kept chasing through the white winter forest. Earendil whinnied. “You take him!” Their ropes were tight like black wires. “Then do not let him escape!” They were the traitors. This really was the end. He kicked. Their spears and arrows held him in place. “Excellent.” The warlock kept him from using any of his abilities. “Then so it will be, the rest of the way.” She came through the circle. The pale one’shair was a feathered cape. “Thou art predictable.” The elf gloated. “I have theein thrall.”He got to speak. “Thee shall be quiet.” She explained. “I will nay let thouto bespell me.” The tall elf then opened her fist. “I am Theodrin.” She told. The elf put the black spiral upon his horn. “Hark me.” She should not be able to touch him. “Then thee shall know the name of thy mistress.” They triumphed.He hung his mighty head. They were like the orcs. The tribe pledged fealty to the great Enforcer. They became corrupt. The Shadow concealed everything. Nothing seemed to matter. “Take him.” She demanded. “Bring him away.” Earendil would rather be a familiar. He would never serve these foul folk. They grabbed the bonds. “You shall carry on.” The rangers laughed. He almost hoped to die. “Torah.” He moaned. They would honour his name. “Where are you?” There were no answer.

That were the Medusa heads. Henry had to require the bow-and-arrows. “Fire in the hall!” They might turn them to stone. That would not be. “Hell spawn!” Henry fired in succession. The vile snake creatures got burned on impact. “You leave him alone!” Willhelm got the axe. His brother had broken through the zombies. “Good Lord in Heaven!” He hung up the bow. The girls got ambushed by the bone-archers. “Then so let it be!” His image became a barrier. The crucifix shone like a captive star. “For den and queen!” The light repelled the dead. “Retreat!” Tholin called. He pulled the rains on the Greyhound. Tholin got Renate in front. The young seer was dripping blood. Henry grinded his teeth. The axe armour had caught up. “You won’t have her!” Owen twirled with the spike club. The knight took it upon the shield. Renate couldn’t be dead. He could not believe it. Henry cleaned his face. The man adored her. “Chain lightning!” Anna danced. The girl made it to strike. The axe armour fell to his knees. That was impressive. “Come tome!” Danielle called. “For Warakiya!” The Centaurs charged. The spook made manifest. He got to escape. The large ghost brandished with the sword. ”Then please, preserve us from the wicked One!” Henry tightened his grip. He would fight.

Warakiyan Alps, Warakiya. The 23^rd. of December 2098 A.D.

The lorry had stopped. Desmond got out. The snow kept falling. “Preserve us from evil.” They created a block on the road. The solicitor touched his cross. Heunsheathed the sword. “Take cover.” The secretary got in front. She thensummoned her turtle. “Fire in the hall!” The shell might offer some protection. The knights fired with their bow or crossbow weapons. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas howled. He threw the powder.The Bibhutistuff burst upon impact. She twirled with the blast. “Thanks!” They got pushed aside. “I have a bad feeling about this.” The solicitor proclaimed. “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth!” He presented the tiny crucifix. His image burned in the sky. “I thus cast you out!” Christopher had no doubt. “So let it be!” The solicitor went to hunt. “Blast you!” Thomas got charged by the cavalry.“God with us!” Desmond stabbed the ground. He made the rising flames to track forward. “Then so let it be!” The wolves howled. The knight got burned. Christopher exhaled. “Then no rest for the hunter.For the time to fight is now!” Anette released the tiger. The secretarygoton top. “Attack!” They clashed. “God with us!” They fought; claw-to-claw. Desmond then pierced the knight. The solicitor got to help her. “God with us!” The beast was about to conquer.

The bats dwelled within the hollow trunk. Julius felt chills down his spine. “Good Lord!” They went squeaking for blood. The shaman was unlike the others. He touched the crucifix. The thunder rider was immune to magic. The talisman drained the energy. “Stronger we are!” Anette twirled withthe flame blast.“In the name of the Lord!” The knight crossed his arms. “Please, preserve us!” His gauntlets repelled the fire. “Your choice.” The Hobgoblin snarled. “The kennels, or the dinner table.” The man didn’t agree with the comment. Julius disliked it. He disliked it very much. “No, thank you.” The secretary buttoned her coat all the way up. She shrunk by the beast master’s remark. The crucifix shielded against the thunder blast. Anette got hurled away. “In Manos Toas Domine!” The priest then forged the tempus blade. He absorbed the blast. “Pesky human fly!” The rider got the lance. Julius resisted the scream. The spikes were dipped in poison. The warg dashed forward. “No!” Julius slid upon the ice. The beast went for his throat. “Good Lord!” The great warg got the crucifix into the mouth. “Then stronger we are!” Julius praised this God. “In the name of the Lord.” He got on foot. The knight got ready. Julius touched the crucifix. “Let it be.” He got to fight.

The Bibhuti stuff burst and burned. Whisp then howled. “Burn in Hell!” He was unstoppable. The red knights had arrived. They hid behind the road block while firing their weapons. “Okay!” The dark-breed released a flurry. “Die!” He pulled up the fox. “You bastard!” Thomas impaled the heart. “Right!” The warg tried to tackle. The dark-breed threw him away. He got the firearm. “Curse you!” He shot the traitor. They wouldn’t take him. Not ever again. The dark-breed twirled with the trident. He felt like the armour guard.“Come over here!” That was irrelevant. He put it aside. Whisp tore at the knights. The blood stained his armour. He could never truly surrender. Whisp released the flurry of flames. That gave some shelter. The male had gained the upper hand. The red knights fired. Thomas retained his human form. He couldn’t maintain the force. Someday he would conquer. Though not tonight. “Alright.” Thomas was not alone. “For He is the truth, the path and the life.” He exhaled. “Take this!” The garlic created secondary explosions. “Because they are the children of the universe.” That the teacher told. No matter, the shaman blew him sky high. “Burn in Hell!” Thomas howled. He felt like being torn apart. The rider laughed. Thomas got up. He would be ready.

That was the last stroke. Anette exhaled. “Fly away!” Thomas got sent flying into the night. The hobgoblin got cast aside. “So let it be!” Desmond cried. He released the homing ball. The warg wined on impact. The vile spirit got burned out. That left the corpse. “Forgive me.” Anette then touched her stomach. She fought the lust to vomit. The secretary had to stand tall. She got to secure about her own health. Anette carried the Host. “Then so be what may be.” His body might sanctify her actions. “Curse you.” The hobgoblin got up. “You are dead!” Anette shrieked. “Yes.” He gloated. “Scream for me.” The shaman unsheathed the sword. “Leave her alone.” Desmond got his own weapons. “You stay out of this.” She hid her face. “You shall die!” He released the thunder bolt. “God with us!” The solicitor repelled the blast. She sighed. “By the power of the One.” Christopher touched the cross. “Die and be damned!” The shaman made the lightning strike. “Then so let it be!” The secretary had made a promise. She countered with the laser. “You stupid woman.” He repelled the attack. “Come to me.” The laugh was unbearable. “Save us.” Anette shuddered. She got to fight. “God with us!” Desmond gripped the sword. “Get lost!” He approached. “Be careful!” She prepared to strike.

The mansion, Laruba mansion. The 23^rd. of December 2098 A.D.

This was a battle. Malpheffa stood before the window. The curtains were moved aside. “Behold.” Laura then embraced her from the behind. “I never imagined such splendour.” They held each other while surveyed the violence. “The peoplechose to reveal themselves.” The lady licked her lips. “The resistance has arrived.” Laura kissed her neck. “Yes my lady.” She then tightened her embrace. “They fight gloriously.” Though the people got surrounded. “They have blossomed.” The vampire exposed her fangs. “They cannot hope to conquer.” Laura became bitter. She released her. “Curse of Darkness.” She breathed. “No.” She turned. “I do not think that is the drift of this outcome.” Malpheffa put her hands upon her shoulders. She buried her face against her bosom. “My love.” Laura kissed the top of her head. “Mistress.” She cooed. “Yes.” Malpheffa was so gentle. “Love me.” She brushed her hair. “My most dearestacolyte.” The lady returned to the sight outside. “Then feed on me, please.” Laura begged. Then so it has become. “I do not even deserve to be near you.” She had knelt. This was perfect. “I want your blood.” Laura opened a wound. “Take it.” She was still alive. “I belong to you.” Malpheffa bit her. “Yes.” She drank. This restored her energy.

The huntwas over. Daniela had chased them into the greenhouse. “To fear the unknown.” “Be damned.” The woman got to hide behind the pottered green-life. “For den and queen!” Cloudia crouched beneath the piano. “Haunted.” The mage felt the gust. She shuddered. “they are the undead.” The instrument kept on playing. That was the least of her problems. “Ball of Destruction!” The vampire threw green bat-inhabited fireballs against the piano. There were someone invisible. Daniela brushed through her brown hair. She had to consider. Her grey eyes never blinked. The mage would defeat the vampire. “For the Lord is strong.” Wilhelm and Henry remained in the corridor. “Look out!” The great knight attacked. “Alright.” Anna escaped. “Then come and fetch me.” She danced. “You horny little bitch.” The vampire threw the fireballs. “Get away from there!” She got in trouble. “Watch me.” Anna threw the wave. “Then who do you think you are?” She repelled the onslaught. “Good.” The battle-mage might exhaled.. “Then surrender yourself to the glory of the eternal night.” Laura had returned. “Kiss me.” The golden girl embraced the hunter. “Love me.” Anna sang. “Kill her!” The mistress cried. She was too late. Anna transformed into the Phoenix.

This was horrible. Anna retained her human form. “Forgive me.” Laura got burned to ashes. “Take cover!” The battle-magegot to remove the shrubbery. “Then thou cost me my servant.” The lady fumed. “For I shall make thee to suffer!” Her teeth struck together. “Good Lord!” Her emerald eyes then lit with fire. “The ancient can nay help thou now.” Anna felt the evil. “Grant me thy blood.” The rich ebony skin took on an almost greyish taint. “For Warakiya!” Claudia leapt above the instrument. “This is for my people!” She threw the sickles. “Get lost!” The vampire raised a hand. “Forget it.” Anna hit with a shoulder block. “Haunt us no longer.” Daniella struck with the hammer. The dead one staggered. Her face got crushed. “You scum.” She splattered. “Dracula take your souls.” The lady got hurt. Her eyes glazed over. “Fine.” Anna got sick. “Ball of Destruction!” She knew what to do. Though she got afraid. “Die!” The Hellfire made her to dash for cover. “Blast you!” Cloudia would fight. “Come hither.” The vampire slashed with the claws. “Forget it!” Claudia pumped her with sickles. “Right.” Anna gasped. That pierced the heart. “I shall rise with the castle!” The lady burned on sight. “That rests with the Lord.” The mansion began to crumble. “We must escape!” Anna cried.

Forest of Debias, Warakiya. The 23^rd.Of December 2098 A.D.

The mansion was about to crumble. Henry stopped to behold the fire. “We have to retreat.” The three women returned into the forest. “Nevermore!” Tholin was dead. “Nevermore!” Virgina cried. She sat upon the mage. “I know.” Daniela tried to comfort. “Fine.” He sighed. “You are alive.” Celia and Sylvia came to meet them. The sisters sat on dog-back. “We are.” Henry beheld the greyhounds. They were their friends. “That is fine.” Owen shook his head. “I got afraid.” He pulled through his hair. “The fight is over.” Even Celia looked much better. Henry could breathe. This was fine. “The order is fleeing into the wood.” Sylvia explained. They got a respite. “This is not the end.” Daniela looked about. “The monsters will return.” That was not a mystery. “You tell me about it.” Henry then shed his weariness. “I shall hunt.” He lost his friends and family. That didn’t change anything. The Dark Lord was still out there. The chill kept blowing. “There will be another day.” Daniela encouraged. She was the leader. “Tell the others.” She said. “That we should leave this place.” Henry felt relieved. “Shall be.” The man then shuddered. The ground was haunted. Henry was sure. “Then let us be gone.” He was eager. “Alright.” Daniela kept the hammer. “Though let us be careful.” She told.

The mansionwas on fire. Saroya tugged upon her blonde hair. The woman tried to hide. “Silence.” The animator hissed. “Yes my master.” She bowed. “As you wish.” She crawled. He was pleased. “Excellent.” The vampire licked the blood stone. “This is still not fatal.” Elayne pulled down the hood. “Then what is thy bidding my lord?” The lady asked. “Hark.” He told. “Thou art to kill the Belmont clan.” Elayne bowed. The fire revealed her sun red hair. “It shall be done.” The sapphire eyes then seemed to glow. “Good.” The master was pleased. “Then what can we do?” Sanchea was a dancing girl. The blue ring kept her from freezing. Thus she was revealed to her full splendour. Though she looked timid. They shared that trait. Sanchea got tortured. “Join me.” The animator proclaimed. “Together we shall conquer.” They fixed their green, blue and grey eyes upon his face. “As you wish.” Sanchea bit her lips. She pulled on her brown hair. “I will do anything you ask of me.” .” Elayne was barely 16 . Though the girl pledged fealty to count Dracula. “Please.” Saroya was eager. “Teach us.” They got interrupted. “Thy have to restore the mansion.” The necromancer had come. “Prepare.” He breathed. “For the second coming of Lord Dracula.”That made her to laugh.

Warakiyan Alps, Warakiya. The 23^rd. of December 2098 A.D.

This was too much. Desmond groaned. The solicitor almost lost his weapons. “Good God!” Christopher felt like the agony was about to absorb him. “Feel the might of lord Dracula.” The rider laughed by his misery. “In Manos Toas Domine!” He sighed. Julius was there. “Cousin.” He stood in front of the secretary. “Are you alright?” She looked green in the face. The shaman conjured a bolt. “You should be dead.” He beheld her body. “He preserves me.” Anette proclaimed. “He will never leave or abandon us.” The priest presented the crucifix. The hobgoblin shrieked in anger. “Die!” He made the lightning strike. Desmond would fight. “God with us!” The cross was light as a feather. His image then burst overhead. “Good God!” The road was clear of monsters. “Dracul!” The rider presented the gauntlets. “Get behind!” He blocked the attack. “Be what may be!” Anette summoned the dragon. “Curse you human!” The shaman got smashed against the cliff. Christopher felt at a loss. That was impressive. “Thank you.” Anette smiled. The dragon left them behind. That was alright. He gathered. Desmond then took the crystals. He exhaled. They restored his energy. “Then so let it be.” The priest got to use the laurels. That was much better. “Thank you.” They got healed.

The hunt continued. Julius inhaled. He got exhausted. “Thomas is gone.” Anetteannounced. “That will be fine.” Desmond gave him the gems. “I know.” Julius really felt much better. The jewels restored him. “Okay.” The priest retrieved the Stellar sword. He beheld the forest. “Let it be.” Julius got afraid. He touched the crucifix.

Christopher frowned. He looked concerned. “There he is.” Anette hid her mouth. “Save us.” The knight almost got buried within the snow. “Leave him alone!” The bats were abroad. Desmond threw the eight daggers forward. The bats got burned to ashes. “So let it be good.” The priest bent beside their comrade. Julius used the laurels. “I am here.” Thomas stirred. “Then what happened?” The knight got on foot. “Let me tell you.” Anette came to hold him. Thomas frowned. “Fine.” He had found the trident. “Then we have to continue the chase.” The priest acknowledged. He made the sign of the cross. “Lead the way.” Thomas got ready. That was fine. “Great is the mystery of faith.” They returned upon the road. He looked about. Everything was silent. “I got a bad feeling about this.” Christopher repeated. “The Shadow.” The cousins might see beyond the obvious. “Save us from the wicked One.” Anette breathed.

The moon was up. Thomas got no respite. They had work to do. He snarled. “Take cover.” Thomas went to put down the garlic. “Be careful.” He placed them before the road block. “Fire in the hall!” Thomas ran to escape. The block went up in flames. That was impressive. Thomas relaxed. “We have to leave.” Julius encouraged. “Before the other monsters arrive.” He shrugged. “Then let them come.” The dark-breed inspected the arsenal. “For I am ready.” The road was clear. “Follow me!” He called. They got nothing to loose. “I shall drive.” Thomas climbed into the lorry. “Then be my guest.” The solicitorgot up beside him. “Right.” The priest had closed the door. “Start the engine.” Anette pulled the lock. “Watch on me.” This was a huge car. Thomas shrugged. “Then it begins.” He turned the key. “Thank you.” Then the lorry finally got in motion. “Watch out!” Anette cried. “Blast it!” Thomas cursed. The bats went for the wind shield. “Preserve us!” The priest exclaimed. “Come on now.” Thomas stepped on it. He pushed through the swarm. “Alright.” They soon left them behind. “Let us get going.” He might slow down. They kept watch. “Driving home for Christmas.” The knight remarked. Thomas watched the road. He better be careful. They still got in danger.

The tunnel led down into the forest. Anette maintain the watch. “We are almost home free.” Thomas remarked. She sent him a side-glance. The knight shrugged. “That is a debate.” .” The secretary reached for the crucifix. “Trust me.” She gave no answer. Thomas stopped. “Wait for me!” He left the car. “What now?” Thomas used the trident to get even higher. Anette closed her mouth. “Boys with toys.” Though that was still impressive. “Follow me!” The knighthad reached into the tunnel. “He is always on the move.” Desmond remarked. “That rests with the Lord.” The two cousins left the lorry. Anette sighed. She got to follow. They didn’t leave. “Thank you.” They were waiting for her. “We hunt together.” She sighed. Julius was serious. “We are your friend.” Desmond assured. “I know.” She shook her head. The secretary might protect herself. She dismissed. Anette charged the flame blast. “Alright.” Julius got in front. “Then you come with me.” He led them into the tunnel. “God with us!” The solicitor unsheathed the sword. “Save me.” Anette stopped. “The approach to despair.” The cave was haunted. She gasped. That was the sound of the firearm. Thomas got involved. “Stronger we are!” The bats left the ceiling. “In the name of the Lord!” They got to fight.

“Three pretty petals”, Dora Wood. The 23^rd. of December 2098 A.D.

The moon finally got above the horizon. Countess Sibella Von Scleklys beheld the chamber. TheDarkness embraced her. She got concealed. That was proper. She got this to consider. The countess felt the presence. The Master loomed above. The nine might become powerful. They might perform the service. That would be glorious. Though this might be dangerous. Though it would be worth the risk. If it worked. They had left the room. The lady frowned. They slew the barman. “Thou art to release the Shadow.” The Master’svoice was a pleasure. Though it was also agony. She would obey. Sibella wept bloody tears. The hour of the beast. She was left alone. That was not important. She knew the truth. “For the Shadow is rising.” The countess shrieked their triumph. Though she got to control her ecstasy. “To live again.” Sibella knew she was like her father. The people refused the lot. That was about to change. The countess would secure for the pin-head puppets. She would be the lady of the night. Though she would have to wait. Sibella exposed her fangs. She knew her eyes were on fire. That was not important. Sibella would rule. “For then a new master shall come to his castle.” The countess recited. She laughed. Sibella Von Scleklys would inherit lordDracula’s power.

The tomb, Dracula’s castle. The 23^rd.of December 2098 A.D.

Everything was dark. The necromancer knelt before the tombstone. “Have I not done well?” He asked. For once the warlock had no mind about the grim reaper. Death flouted in the air. The laugher caused the echoes of Darkness. The servant threw himself down. “Speare me.” He would worship in his name. “Then listen to these words.” His voice was like a whisper. . “This is what thee shall do.” He got to obey. “Yes.” He moaned. “As thy wish.” This was it. There could be no rest. He was alone. Though the necromancer rejoiced. “To serve the Dark.” He gained a connection. The seal was breaking. The prince of Darkness could not be defeated. The necromancer got on foot. There were still much to do. He would summon the acolytes. They had received great power. The order of Shadow had not been assembled since 2076. They fulfilled their pledge. He knew they slew the interloper. That was a great victory. Though that was only the beginning. The necromancer closed his eyes. “Then come to me.” He beaconed. The warlock also possessed hidden powers. “There is time.” That was the truth. The necromancerhad done the mask. “Excellent.” The servants had waited for so long. “Prepare.” The Dark Lord should live again. That was the theme of the legend of Dracula.

(A.N: There has been a long chase. But this is the end of the third quest. I got inspired by LoI, CoD and LoS for the text. Vlad III Basraq is the lord of the vampires. Have a nice time.)
