believe in science but i need to know more i've exhausted my other options and all the stories say the man who lives here has secret knowledge he tests her further bearing his fangs but lisa remains steadfast and proves to be a genuine knowledge seeker you are definitely different to most humans i have met in recent times dracula says softening his tone maybe i can teach you to like people again lisa offers or at least tolerate them or stop putting them on sticks dracula chuckles adding i gave that up a long time ago he walks off and lisa follows as dracula asks where is lupu village you

like it they reach their destination and lisa is awed by dracula's laboratory speaking of the people dracula has such a distaste for and all lisa can learn from dracula she says they won't live such short scared lives if they have real medicine they won't be superstitious if they learn how the world really works dracula asks why he should bother helping them and why he should teach her to make

and finds their cottage in ruins he learns of lisa's fate from one of her patients mrs juvara with his back to the woman dracula looks at his pale hands and recalls loud she said to me if you would love me as a man then live as a man travel as a man no more he says then turns to lisa's friend i do this last kindness in her name she who loved you humans and cared for your ills take your family and leave wallachia tonight pack and go and do not look back tears of blood flow from dracula's glowing red eyes his wife now little more than charred bones crumbles to ash as the villagers applaud suddenly the flames explode and form the shape of dracula's face what have you done he roars through the fire she she's a witch the bishop says lisa tepes was a woman of science and the one thing that justified humanity's stench upon this planet when the bishop insists dracula is not real the flames grow further you take my wife and deny i even exist i give you one year wilakians dracula warns they have one year to leave the village before he returns to destroy them at his castle dracula prepares to spend a year summoning armies from hell he is interrupted by a figure behind him begging him to reconsider the younger man tells dracula to focus his revenge on only those responsible rather than kill thousands of innocent people there are no innocents not anymore any one of them could have stood up and said no we won't behave like animals anymore dracula shouts i grave with you the man says but i won't let you commit genocide dracula attacks before the man can draw his sword one year later in the city of targoviste having ignored dracula's warning the people of valencia gather for an address from the archbishop he celebrates the anniversary of the burning of the witch and calls the devil a liar for his threats as it's been a year and nothing has happened his speech is interrupted as the clouds darken the villagers scream as blood and the corpses of unborn demonic offspring reign upon them dracula's fiery visage appears again and sentences them all to death his castle rises in the distance as he unleashes hordes of hellspawn that indiscriminately and violently kill the streets of targovista are grotesquely decorated with the dismembered remnants of the men women and children who lived there and over the demonic screeches of his army dracula's orders can be heard kill them all and once targovished has been made into a graveyard for my love go forth into the country kill for my love kill for the one true love i ever knew kill for the endless lifetime of hate before me in a small town at the outskirts of crescent a man named peter runs into a tavern warning of the approaching horde another patron a farmer named bosha blames dracula's attack on the old families and great houses especially the worst of them the belmonts we should have killed all the belmonts he says at the mention of the belmonts a nearby patron mutters to himself and attempts to hide his face boscia continues ranting about ordinary people getting caught up in the conflicts between the old families while the stranger keeps to himself until he runs out of ale at the bar beaucha recognizes the belmont family crest on the stranger's shirt the stranger feigns ignorance while boscia and the others insist the stranger is a belmont and is to blame for their troubles everyone knows the belmont's dealt in black magic bosha says the belmonts dealt with monsters the belmonts fought monster's son momentarily forgetting his anonymity the stranger adds so i'm told the belmonts were excommunicated by the church bosha continues banished disowned their lands taken because they were evil and now dracula's hordes are abroad in the land and whose fault is that as the tensions boil the stranger tries to leave but instead boscia attacks he demands a confession but the man refuses until a kick below the belt convinces him otherwise trevor belmont i was beaumont lost son of the belmont family happy now bosha goes for another attack but this time trevor defends himself in the midst of a drunken fight after taking a few punches trevor threatens that's how you want it listen i used to fight vampires after leaving the tavern relatively unscathed trevor finds a tall tree to sleep under the next morning he visits the town of gretchen in search of breakfast inside he finds piles of bodies and townsfolk cleaning up blood and entrails in speaking to the locals he learns that they are under siege from dracula's monsters who visit them nightly one local explains that they have no defenses but don't need them there are a tribe of speakers in their city once the church gets rid of them the demons will leave them alone he also hears an old story of the sleeping soldier they say he was a great hero hundreds of years ago but now he sleeps under the catacombs to wait until he's needed again the local asks trevor to keep it quiet as the new bishop hates the old wisdom and has no tolerance for such blasphemy at night the villagers must be careful of dracula's monsters but during the day they must be careful of the bishop's men true to the local's word trevor happens across two of the bishop's men harassing an elderly speaker trevor tells himself to keep walking but when the men move to attack the older man trevor can't hold back he whips one of the men's hands disarming him of his weapon and one of his fingers when the men still do not retreat trevor throws his whip again and the other man loses an eye finally they leave trevor accompanies the elder to his lodging and meets the rest of the speakers there trevor learns that although the townsfolk blame the speakers for dracula's wrath it is truly the church's fault for burning dracula's wife at the stake the elder explains that there are no doctors or aid left in gretchen so the speakers must remain and help further a savior sleeps under greshad a great hero who sleeps until he is needed oh i've heard that one trevor says the sleeping soldier the elder asks how much trevor knows about all this i'm a belmont trevor says so i know you're a nomadic people who gather knowledge memorize it carry complete spoken histories with you i also know you gather hidden knowledge and have practitioners of magic in your tribes the elder reveals that one of their tribe went looking for the sleeping soldier in the catacombs and has not returned the speakers will continue searching for them the elder asks what trevor will do trevor callously explains that hill watch all the good little people die then leave you feel no compassion the elder asks this is what the church wanted trevor says my family were the only people who could have fought dracula and his army but they didn't want us they wanted to fight the darkness on their own terms good luck to them the elder continues but the ordinary people of vallakia they didn't get the choice for evil bastards to win power trevor says all ordinary people have to do is stand aside and keep quiet there's always a choice then trevor insists the speakers leave and escape death but the elder refuses a younger member of the tribe shouts that the missing member is the elder's grandchild we can't even bury them he says it's not our way to just leave our dead unattended to frustrated trevor offers to recover the elders grandchild's body so the speakers can leave when the young speaker asks why trevor explains they're going to come for you soon the good people it's going to be a pogrom i don't think you answered my question the speaker says trevor explains i know what it's like to be persecuted by your own country for the accident of your birth if i find your grandchild will you leave this city before nightfall the elder agrees trevor cracks his knuckles and moves to leave first warning the speakers to stay put and not roam the town before trevor exits the elder says belmont it is not dying that frightens us it's living without ever having done our best trevor says then leaves in the catacombs trevor finds a statue of a robed figure trevor thinks out loud either someone left a statue of a speaker down here or he's interrupted by a cyclops using the statue as a stepping stone along with his blade and whip trevor dispatches the beast suddenly the statue turns back into a living girl the elder's granddaughter after vomiting she asks what happened trevor answers you walked into a cyclops turns you into stone with his eyeball and feeds on your terror while you're trapped in your own body did you climb on me she asks hmm a bit trevor replies that was rude she exclaims when trevor explains he's there to retrieve her so the speakers leave for safety she insists they find the sleeping soldier first trevor callously insists there is no sleeping soldier and points out that the elder thinks she's dead the least she can do is return to put his mind at ease he adds let's show you to your grandfather and then you can come down here and get killed again deal very well she says then introduces herself i'm sipha bonares i don't care trevor replies at their lodging the elder thanks trevor for returning his granddaughter she apologizes for not finding the soldier when trevor again insists it's just a booby-trapped legend he explains that in the catacombs they saw metal veins pumping hot liquid and torches that light by themselves these exactly fit descriptions written by his great-grandfather descriptions of the inside of dracula's castle trevor promises to come back later and adds see if you can find some beer once he's out of sight sifa suggests to her grandfather that she can pee in a bucket and tell him it's beer outside trevor is accosted by men of the church and forced to see the bishop who offers him a deal leave town and we won't kill you despite the crimes you've committed against my aides despite the crimes your family has committed against god the bishop says you will walk safely until sundown my family committed no crime belmont says you people simply decided we were wrong to defend this land against the supernatural and now the bishop angrily interrupts you belmonts have never understood the power of the word of god the people of this city are mine and our lords now and they'll do as i ask in his name by morning no speaker will defile these streets and you will either be gone or dead do you understand the bishop adds that they can discuss trevor's excommunication from the church later as he leaves trevor points out that the excommunication came from a little higher up on the ladder the other great cities are lost or losing the bishop points out gretchen will be the last major city in wallachia to all intents and purposes [Music] trevor returns to the speakers and informs them the bishop is beyond insane if the speakers don't leave by sundown they will all be killed they refuse to leave the elder appeals to trevor's experience as a belmont asking if he'll continue to run just because the church and society have cast his family aside the elder explains that they are fighting a bigger war for the soul of our people he says because if we truly are the sort of people who will kill one another at the behest of a madman's fantasies then perhaps it is right and proper that things from hell should rise up to wipe us out sifa adds it's time for those of us who fight that war to stand up and be responsible trevor belmont you should leave now trevor refuses instead he grabs his sword and insists no you're leaving right now later that night the citizens of gretchen tear down the entrance to the speaker's hideout but inside they and the bishop's men do not find any speakers instead they find a belmont meanwhile the speakers hide safely in the now cyclops-free catacombs the bishop's men ask trevor what he hopes to achieve dying here for nothing and for people he doesn't know my family trevor says the family you demonized and excommunicated has fought and died through generations for this country we do this thing for wallachia and her people we don't have to know you all we do it anyway and it's not the dying that frightens us it's never having stood up and fought for you trevor sheds his coat and proudly displays his family crest adding i am trevor belmont of the house of belmont and dying has never frightened me the men draw their weapons but trevor is faster he throws two fistfuls of blades cutting into all but one of them who he instead tackles through the entryway on his way out trevor pulls a rope to drop loose stones trapping the rest of his pursuers inside with the help of a large wooden cross and a stolen axe trevor disperses the crowd of angry villagers waiting for him outside then with the crowd distracted he runs through the back alleys of gretchet killing many of the bishop's followers on his way and while trevor alludes his pursuers dracula's minions fly above gretchen and prepare to attack at the church the bishop is visited by demons with shaking hands he professes that god loves him but the monsters correct him it is the bishop's fault they are here god does not love him she was a witch the bishop pleads the demon scoffs at his lies but comforts the bishop we love you the demon says we couldn't be here without you the demon's large hands wrap around the bishop and it continues let me kiss you the bishop drops his cross necklace and moments later it is joined by a pool of his own blood cornered by the angry villagers trevor is rescued by a wall of flame around him he looks up to see what his cipher's doing as he walks down the newly formed path he shouts to her you never told me you were a magician you never asked she answers what are you doing here trevor asks i didn't ask you to fight for me she responds i fight for myself fine trevor says then notices the knife-wielding priest he stopped from attacking the elder that morning trevor makes the truth known that the speakers are in gretchen to help and it is the church's faults the demons have come this quickly turns the villagers against the bishop's man and they swiftly execute him then dracula's horde arrives belmont instructs the villagers as though leading them to battle he finds a priest to create holy water those with pikes or long weapons move to the front line all swords are wiped in salt and syfa creates walls of ice which is dangerous to the demons forcing them to attack in a straight line toward them following belmont's orders the villagers triumph over the hellspawn but after the battle the ground crumbles under trevor and sifa they fall inland further into the catacombs than they'd previously visited making their way through they find a decorated tomb trevor's foot lands on a hidden switch which causes the coffin to slowly open a man with long blonde hair floats out of the coffin why are you here he asks scifi explains the story of the sleeping soldier while trevor explains i fell down a hole sifa tells the man of dracula's hordes seeking to commit genocide on humanity but the man remains focused on belmont asking if that's what he believes you're asking if i believe you're some sleeping messiah who will save us trevor responds no i don't i know what you are sifa gasps at the realization that the man floating before them is a vampire the vampire asks trevor if as a belmont he cares about what dracula is doing honestly i didn't no trevor antsaris but now yes it's time to stop it sipha smiles then the vampire asks if belmont thinks he can stop it what i think is i'm going to have to kill you cypher shouts belmont no he's the one we've been waiting for belmont disagrees and points out how well-kept functional and fortified with traps the catacombs are he gets the vampire to admit he's only been down there a year he is not some messiah that's been waiting for centuries trevor berates the vampire until the floating jesus as belmont calls him retrieves his sword but is quickly struck by trevor's whip the two fight until they finally reach a stalemate then sifa appears behind the vampire threatening to incinerate him before the two men can kill each other your speaker magician the vampire notes yes cipher responds and his goal is mine to stand up for the people good the vampire response very good a vampire hunter and a magician you'll do he heals his wounds and stands in a friendlier tone he announces i am adrian tepesh known to the wallachians as alucard son of vlad dracula tepesh i've been asleep here in my private keep under gretchen for a year to heal the wounds dealt by my father when i attempted to stop him unleashing his demon armies scifi extinguishes the magic flame in her hand and says you are the sleeping soldier i'm aware of the stories alucard responds i'm also aware that the speakers consider the story to be information from the future and alucard continues with the rest of the story the sleeping soldier will be met by a hunter and a scholar so what happens now sifa asks alucard dresses grabs his sword and answers i need a hunter and a scholar i need to save willakia perhaps the world and defeat my father belmont asks why and alucard responds because it is what my mother would have wanted as belmont grabs his whip alucard adds and we are all in the end slaves to our family's wishes then the three of them leave on their journey to destroy dracula at dracula's castle vlad addresses the leaders of his army telling them their strategy is working and they will continue to use the night hordes at the end of his speech dracula asks hector and isaac the only two humans in the room to present him with plans for their next steps the leaders of dracula's army all vampires are put off by his reliance on humans above them god brand a brash ex-viking shouts at dracula demanding to know why vlad calmly replies the only two generals in my court who are not driven by thirst the only two who are bound by loyalty and intellect true they are not vampires like you and i god and that is why i trust them for we are about the business of wiping humanity from the earth and they still stand with me in dracula's study hector and isaac asked the same question why them dracula explains that vampires view humans as livestock and can no longer conceive of them as thinking beings but you two are different he says you are human you are not looking at the scouring of humanity from the earth as an opportunity to get livestock under control and to fill stables and abattoirs and pantries you hate your species you hate humans you have a focus and clarity that the others lack you understand that humans think and scheme and betray you understand why they all must die hector thanks dracula for the clarity and says that he just hopes the generals will listen to them they will have no choice dracula reassures they obey me you are my chosen authors of the war and so they will obey you after their discussion hector stares in the flames of dracula's fireplace he recalls verbal abuse from his parents sickened with him in his necromancy and he recalls their screams as he burned them alive isaac puts a hand on dracula's shoulder and assures it's going to be all right we're going to kill them all for you they will suffer the suffering doesn't really matter to me anymore isaac dracula responds only the death only the death matters now in gretion sypha waves goodbye to her people who are leaving to help other villages when trevor notices cypher sadness and fear of being alone he says nothing this is where you're supposed to tell me that i'm not alone belmont you are really not very good at this scifi chad's him i learned to travel alone early in life maybe i just got too used to it trevor says then he tries again okay look i know a little bit about what you're feeling i'm sorry but we have a thing to do now all i can do is try and make sure it doesn't get you killed so you can see your family again that's your encouraging talk cipher replies trevor offers or you can get killed and they get eaten in the forest so none of you have to be sad how's that in the speaker's abandoned hideout alucard draws a picture of his parents a tear falls on the image of his mother as he announces he will no longer go by adrian tepesh but instead alucard of wallachia the name of his mother's people at dracula's castle in his forge hector plays with his resurrected puppy caesar godbrain arrives to apologize for his earlier outburst but quickly follows up by voicing concerns from him and the other generals they worry the war is too chaotic and undirected it could be done more carefully godbrand says oh hector replies there is more wonton bloodshed than i would like i don't love the rest of humanity i don't want to share a world with them but the suffering they're interrupted when two robed figures arrive with a wagon full of corpses collected from gretchen hector gets to work reanimating the dead humans into knight creatures for dracula's army as he does godbrand comments ah the devil forge master at work again raising the dead they pause as they can feel the castle moving again in the castle's control room dracula waves his hand in front of a floating device activating the teleportation and bringing them to an isolated valley as belmont argues with sifa that he does know how to be nice they approach alucard he apprises sypha of dracula's ability to transport his castle as they wonder how they can trap the castle belmont suggests they find his family's old home it's been long destroyed by angry villagers but underneath it there is the belmont hold filled with knowledge that may guide their quest to kill dracula trevor would not know how to use the magic there but siphon alucard would alucart comments said it's a good thing he didn't kill and eat belmont earlier belmont echoes the sentiment saying it's a good thing he decided not to flay alucard and turn him into shoes such a merry band we are sifa says before finding them a wagon at horses once she returns they set off at dracula's castle his war council is quieted by the arrival of a woman with long white hair and a dark red dress i am carmilla she says i am come from farsteria to join the war council dracula comments that her presence was requested some time ago she replies that his moving castle is hard to find and with such mighty vampire generals what use could he have with a mere regional ruler she continues and yet my lord your forces were repelled from a single city-state your generals are in disarray so i feel that perhaps it is time to offer my insights to your great cause and what insights have you carmilla dracula asks why was this new wife of yours never turned she asks the room fills with tension dracula's eyes turn red she presses further asking if this wife was simply a human pet and if so she says why is vampire society going to war with the world over it dracula demands to speak with her alone and they continue their discussion privately she explains that her display was meant to unsettle the room giving her as much advantage as possible when he demands to know why she asked him about his dead wife in front of everyone she explains that it's a question dracula's generals have been asking themselves she just gave him an opportunity to address it after their talk carmilla quietly scoffs behind dracula's back before leaving elsewhere over campfire sifa asks alucard why he isn't killed by sunlight he explains that it's because he's half human he goes on to share the story of how his human mother met dracula and demanded he teach her to be a doctor when belmont sarcastically comments on the notion alucard makes it clear that dracula does hold centuries of knowledge long forgotten by humanity he could have changed the world i think he might have alucard says if mother hadn't died then he describes the world that dracula will create after destroying the humans in books bound by skin of the people he hates most dracula wrote about flying machines that would pull shrouds across the sky creating permanent darkness where hordes of the night will rule they're interrupted by the sound of nearby creatures the three prepare for a fight and with alucard's sword belmont's whip and sifa's magic they quickly dispatch the monsters though one wounded creature escapes and flies off in dracula's castle isaac self-flagellates and recalls his childhood being whipped by his master as punishment for snooping through the man's books his master demands to know why he was going through his things and a tear-soaked isaac explains that he just wanted to learn so he could help his master because he loves him the man continues to whip isaac demanding he never use the word love again finally isaac leaps at his master plunging his thumbs into the man's eyes brutally killing him his recollections are interrupted by god brand bringing a wounded creature from a party sent to argesh unbeknownst to them this creature was wounded by the fight with alucard sifa and belmont it tried flying back to the castle but died at 20 yards out from its destination as isaac cuts the creature open he espouses his hopes dracula will bring a pure world into being i believe that i believe him i want of all things a pure world a clean world where there is only loyalty and only love he touches his magic imbued dagger to the monster bringing it to life then returns to dracula in the war council where there is much disagreement hector and carmilla believe that taking our gesh serves no strategic purpose instead they should target brela which as the region's biggest river port town would cut off any escape from wallachia isaac believes that they should stay the course and remain focused on argesh as an old respected town taking it would give them power dracula shouts enough and stops the arguing carmilla quietly asks hector if he thinks it's enough isaac reveals that he revived the creature from argesh it was wounded by unknown assailants however argesh is close to greshad where alucard is known to sleep and there was recently a belmont there they believe the two are working together learning that the belmonts are not extinct carmilla hurriedly insists they observed the ancestral belmont home when godbrand asks why she angrily and condescendingly explains that the knowledge used to hunt vampires for centuries may be stored there and the living belmont will likely seek it she turns to dracula and says this is your war council my lord then smirks to herself a young hector cries over the corpse of a dog he strikes two coins together again and again until the creature returns to life decades later the devil forge master strikes a hammer over a human corpse imbuing it with life as demons spawn for dracula's army carmilla joins him in the forge and complements his skills in forgery something vampires have not been able to do themselves then she comments that hector seems worried about dracula and he is it's not like dracula to be indecisive and further he seems to be the embers of a man as though his fire has gone out there are things we can do that don't require his decisions carmilla says hector is doubtful but carmilla suggests they can send a small group to the belmont home it would not harm the war effort hector questions why it's so important to her and she re-emphasizes the importance of making sure the tools and knowledge there do not fall into the wrong hands hector agrees with the logic but still insists upon dracula's approval carmilla asks how hector ended up working for dracula he explains they met while vlad was traveling dracula heard of hector from some scholars and sought him out then after the death of his wife dracula returned and asked for help in culling the humans that hector had isolated himself from hector agreed to help on the condition that they stopped short of genocide hector did not want humanity to suffer or go extinct just unable to cause further harm he suggested they be kept mercifully as livestock dracula agreed carmilla confirms that when hector forges creatures they are loyal to him then she asks him to make some troops and help her convince dracula to attack brela the riverport town meanwhile on horse and wagon the trio near the belmont home sifa sees another side of trevor as he points out a tree he played on as a child it's hard to imagine you playing she remarks they arrive at the dead home and search for passage to the underground sifa thinks it must have been nice growing up in one place it was belmont searches for the right word it was fine alucard asks how old he was when his family home was taken 13 14 something like that trevor answers you've been on your own since you were 13 cypher asks when belmont asks why all the questions alucard remarks i'm disturbed to find that i had more of a childhood than you did and your dad's dracula belmont says then the three share a laugh they find the entrance and attempt to lift the stone blocking it however it is magically sealed and trevor's family was taken before they could teach him how to open it looking over the inscriptions cipher speaks an incantation in the old occult language of enochian and the door opens alucard is impressed and safa proudly tells him she knows the ancient language then alucard pokes fun at the belmonts for dealing in such a cult magic i didn't know it was a magic door belmont says doesn't make us black magicians as they walk down the spiral staircase seifer comments that belmont is not a wallachian name trevor explains that they came from france the dark things moved east so they followed at the bottom of the stairs they find a door and through it an extravagant library of books and artifacts collected through the generations of belmonts my god sipha says while trevor enjoys a moment that is the closest he'll come to a family reunion the memory of my family all that's left of us they head to the lectern in the center of the room which indexes everything there then a treasure chest catches trevor's eye bloody hell is that what i think it is cipher laughs careful trevor you almost sounded excited about something he opens the chest beautiful trevor says what on earth is that ugly thing cipher asks he lifts the chain link whip and admires it answering i don't believe they hit it it's the morning star looking back to the index sifa is amazed and is surprised to find that alucard is not it's like a museum dedicated to the extermination of my people he explains at dracula's castle godbrand approaches dracula and peppers him with questions wondering what they'll eat if all humans are eradicated dracula assures him he will be fine and warns him to tread carefully godbrand ignores the advice and continues to press for more specific answers dracula towers over him menacingly saying i will not be questioned by you i have told you how it will be the humans will die you will be taken care of little god brand little vampire little parasite little boat weevil who delights in making noise and pretending he is important and dangerous are you going to continue questioning me are you going to fight me little godbrand with a sweaty brow godbrand looks away and quietly answers no dracula threatens to eat his heart and godbrand leaves then dracula sits exhausted in the halls godbrand runs into carmilla she asks how dracula is doing and godbrand exclaims that dracula will kill all the humans leaving them with no livestock further he suspects dracula has not fed in some time godbrand believes that dracula is not fighting a war but committing suicide his wife's dead godbrand says and he wants to join her and he wants to take all of us with him he storms off but carmilla asks him to wait when he refuses she kicks him down a flight of stairs with his attention refocused she reminds him that dracula needs to go to brela she tells god bran the story of the man who turned her into a vampire a man who promised her the world then grew old cruel and mad carmilla killed and left him now she finds that dracula too is becoming an old cruel man never again godbrand she says never again later god bran gross thirstier and dreams of earlier times brutally and gleefully slaying humans he wakes and demands blood but is supplied only with pig's blood rather than the human blood he craves disappointed he realizes that carmilla is right something must be done at the belmont hold trevor finds an old broken mirror after berating him for not knowing what it is alucard and cipher reveal it to be a distance mirror which allows for remote viewing looking it over alucard deems that it can be repaired you have the most fascinating family junkyard belmont alucard says belmont retorts with his own insult before sifa pulls him aside to chide him saying you are an adult you do not have to rise to his every barb grow up trevor she says then softens her tone asking why is your name trevor anyway he explains he was named after treffer a horse ridden by leon belmont his ancestor that brought the family to a lakia sifa playfully moves closer to trevor announcing his new nickname is trephy the two of them laugh while alucard stares at his broken reflection at dracula's castle carmilla again tries turning hector against dracula he's clearly gone mad having mistaken a human pet for a wife hector remains steadfast in defending dracula until she suggests that in dracula's genocidal fury hector is likely to be killed he again defends dracula saying he promised that it would be a coal that humans would simply be reduced in numbers and controlled not wiped out entirely he is dracula hector carmilla says as she places her hand on his shoulder why would he tell the truth to a human when she explicitly asks if hector is prepared to abandon dracula to win the war he urgently pulls her into his forge such things should not be discussed out in the open ignoring the warning carmilla insists that the castle must land in brela then dracula's loyal forces will leave the castle to take the town meanwhile her forces will take the castle and unseat dracula then they'll return to the plan of controlling the human race rather than extinguishing it allowing hector to live hector warns that her forces may not be enough she agrees and says that's why hector must do something for her one year earlier dracula visits isaac in his home at dracula's request isaac recounts their first meeting he was being hunted by magicians who wanted to kill him and sell his body parts for use in potions spells and aphrodisiacs dracula saved him becoming the only person to ever lift a hand to protect isaac seeing their friendship still intact dracula asks for isaac's help raising an army to fight a war however isaac sees through the charade and dracula admits that he is not looking to fight a war he is looking to exterminate the human race i will be loyal to the end and beyond isaac says agreeing to join dracula one year later in the midst of the genocide dracula approaches isaac and confides i feel like the tone of the warhol is turning against me he also admits that isaac is the only person he's told the truth to because he believes isaac is the only one who grasps the necessity of exterminating humanity dracula sees hector as a boy in a man's body someone easier to lie to when isaac asks dracula how he can help he admits that isaac may be his only friend left meanwhile godbrand sick of drinking pig's blood leads a small group of generals to a nearby town where they brutally slay the humans there and finally satisfy their appetites at the belmont hold trevor invites a lonely scifi to join him under his dusty old sheet they discuss alucard she observes that alucard's sadness is different from trevor's alucards is like a bottomless well whereas scifi can at least tease trevor and get a reaction from him and sometimes trevor shows warmth like sharing his blanket with her as they talk sifa forgets her loneliness and with her head on belmont's shoulder finally falls asleep returning from his hunt godbrand visits isaac godbrand explains that carmilla is starting to make a lot of sense while dracula's tactics are not it's time for them to take control of the war away from him so without hesitation isaac kills godbrand then over the mangled body isaac thanks godbrand for revealing how corruption of the world has made its way into dracula's court thank you for showing me the truth isaac says grasping one last shred of life godbran reaches up before a stake in his heart bathes him in fire and burns him to ash later outside the castle hector enjoys the warm sun while isaac espouses the virtues of the perpetually cold stone of the castle they walk to find an isolated spot where they can speak freely on the way hector compares vampires to animals pure and unmalicious he once saw them as wolves or bats but now sees them more as cats and when they find a spot behind some trees hector tells isaac that the cats need herding the two of them were ordered to draft dracula's war plan but between the infighting and dracula's attitude at that isaac interrupts and what attitude is that he doesn't care hector says he very much cares isaac retorts he wants all of the humans to die hector clarifies that his point is dracula doesn't seem to care how he and isaac are failing dracula by not asserting moral order to the war isaac asks what he wants and finally hector says he wants them to convince dracula to move umbrella isaac is skeptical and because the plan would please carmilla he distrusts it but he adds it would stop her from making mischief for the moment and it would get the war room pointed in the same direction with isaac's agreement the two head back to the castle and hector informs carmilla of the good news she congratulates hector and tells him to be proud of the quick orderly war he is allowing meanwhile isaac visits dracula informing him that hector will soon come to request they move umbrella dracula asks why and isaac explains that hector wants to quiet the disorder in dracula's court there is betrayal bruin but hector is a simpler creature than that and is still loyal isaac explains that hector just doesn't like the arguing isaac doesn't see any specific plan for betrayal but believes it's a growing possibility from the growing frustration among the troops ultimately isaac recommends moving umbrella uniting the generals and quieting the discord dracula agrees to the plan then shares that he is tired and less interested in the details in the past the smallest details of death delighted him but those times are long gone dracula says let us just conclude this thing as though on cue hector and carmilla arrive they make their case for brela isaac voices his support and dracula tiredly agrees breila fine breila it is i no longer have the strength for these petty decisions amuse yourselves we will go to breila ourselves so long as they all die that's all that matters they all have to die hector and carmilla leave and she asks hector if he knows why she had to be the one to take control because carmilla says i am surrounded by children and animals and dying old men there are perhaps four other women in this castle and they all glare from the edges either disempowered by posturing man-children or too paralyzed by sheer rage to do anything and which am i hector asks angrily child or animal puppy carmilla says condescendingly somewhere between the two he scoffs i thought you wanted me to believe you respected me i did carmilla says now you're implicated so i don't need to you're hip deep in this now puppy and the only way out is forward at the belmont hold sifa excitedly calls for trevor and shares with him a discovery she made in one of the books a partially written locking spell that would freeze dracula's castle in one location so that it can be invaded when alucard points out the spell is incomplete cipher enthusiastically shares that she can finish it however their talk is interrupted as the entire hold shakes and demonic creatures can be heard above them the monsters struggle to open the stone at the holds entrance until one of them weakens it with a magic spear then another larger monster pounds at it they are still locked out but making progress inside belmont hesitates on what to do next until alucard shakes him from his reverie come on belmont time to choose you're either the last son of a warrior dynasty or a lucky drunk which is it belmont quickly orders alucard to get the distance muter working so he can provide details on their attackers sifa will keep working on the locking spell and belmont will fortify the point of entry alucard points out that gathering details of their attackers seems useless if they'll see them with their own eyes shortly so belmont asks for his advice alucard is surprised so trevor reminds him you're still a bastard but you're the bastard i chose to fight alongside back in gretchen do you have a problem with any of that alucard does not he goes on to advise that instead of using the mirror to spy on their attackers they use it to find dracula's castle now belmont agrees and promises to hold off their attackers as long as possible he readies himself to fight the creatures break through the stone entrance and alucard gets the mirror working finding dracula's castle just before it disappears it reappears in the middle of brela sending destructive shockwaves through the town at the hold belmont struggles to fight the large horned beasts that finally broke the barrier after a fierce battle he mortally wounds it and prepares to fight his next foe in brela dracula's army marches across the river over bridges nearby carmilla and hector bring the bishop now a reanimated corpse to the river's edge following her orders the bishop marches into the river and blesses it now standing in a river of holy water we fell to demonic entities the bishop dies then carmilla begins the next stage of her betrayal her forces collapsed the bridges sending large numbers of dracula's forces into the holy water killing many her forces lay their own bridges and prepare to attack the castle while she insists hector come with her away from the castle he hesitates but she reminds him that he betrayed dracula hector has no one but her now at the hold belmont struggles to protect alucard and sifa while they work when he finally kills a particularly difficult foe with its own spear belmont growls at the dying monster when you get back to whatever steaming underworld you came from you tell them there are still belmonts up here meanwhile sifa prepares her spell and joins alucard at the mirror using her magic in conjunction with the mirror she attempts to pull the castle to them in brella carmilla's forces batter down the doors and enter the castle they commence battle with some of dracula's troops joined by isaac he runs to dracula's study to inform him that there is an act of betrayal they're being attacked by vampires based on isaac's description of their uniforms dracula identifies them as carmilla's followers sifa's attempts fail as the castle appears to fight off her attempts to move it alucard tells her of the castle's engine that's what's acting against her the point nearly becomes moot as a demon leaps at her and ala card but at the last moment belmont slays the creature with one strike of the morning star now aware of the castle's mechanism sifa begins to have an effect on it in brela it seems to blink in and out of existence moving from one point to another for a moment it lands in the river displacing much of the river's contents as the holy water flows through the town and castle many of carmilla's forces are killed by it finally sifa manages to steal the castle from brela while hector and camilla watch it blink away one last time ha i did it sifa celebrates as the castle lands then alucard turns to her and asks where did you land the castle syfa right on top of us she claps her face drops as she realizes the hold will likely collapse under the castle's weight she runs and before alucard follows he takes one last look at the castle in the mirror and prepares to reunite with his father with the staircase destroyed sifa materializes a column of ice underneath them raising her alucard in belmont to the surface where they are illuminated by a red moon they see the castle and syfa admires her work bringing it there i'm pretty good right she asks you're the best trevor responds they head toward the castle inside some remnants of carmilla and dracula's forces fight however the infighting comes to a stop when they spot dracula's son a magician and a hunter at the entrance following belmont's commands the three of them attack each uses their unique skills alucard transforms into a white wolf belmont expertly handles the morning star cipher launches spikes of ice and with icy pillars helps trevor leap into the air their battle is swiftly won but another wave of enemies approaches meanwhile isaac and dracula cut their way through more of carmilla's forces isaac spots alucard and alerts dracula that his son is in the castle in dracula's study isaac places himself in front of the vampire vowing to give his mortal life to preserve dracula's genius knowledge and will dracula praises isaac as the best of his kind and suggests he will hold value in the new world then he throws isaac through the magic mirror teleporting him to safety in a distant desert isaac shouts for dracula as the portal closes behind him then he falls to his knees distraught in the castle dracula turns to see his son standing in the doorway father son alucard pronounces that the war ends in the name of his mother it endures in the name of your mother dracula responds i grieve with you alucard says but i won't let you commit genocide you couldn't stop me before i was alone before alucard retorts then sifa and belmont appear on either side of him they attack and dracula quickly swats alucard and belmont aside syfa manages to endure a little longer but quickly joins them on the floor cyphus payne calls belmont to action and he throws himself back into the battle dracula seems impervious to his punches and swiftly moves to end the belmont line before he can strike trevor down sipha and ala carter at his side again and this time they attack together alucard with a sword through dracula's arm and sipho with a roaring flame in his face dracula seems to take damage but is able to knock the two of them away again as dracula turns belmont recovers and drives the remnants of a demon spear into his side dracula attempts to strike back but his attacks become desperate and undirected the tide of the battle turns and although the trio takes more hits belmont finally brings dracula to his knees after a brutal strike from his whip shakily dracula stands and speaks the morning star whip well played belmont but i am no ordinary vampire to be killed by your human magic i am vlad dracula tepes and i have had enough he launches a large fiery sphere scifi attempts to stop it with magic but even before it reaches the power of it begins to push her back until trevor stands behind her and alucard in front with alucard's sword against the fiery globe cypher's magic and trevor's support they launched the fireball back into dracula the resulting explosion launches alucard and dracula into another part of the castle where the two launched into another round of brutal hand-to-hand combat when alucard grabs a piece of sharp wood dracula laughs and asks if he means to stake him you want me to alucard says at dracula's confusion alucard explains you didn't kill me before you're not going to kill me now you want this to end as much as i do do i dracula shouts as he strikes again at his son alucard dodges and continues you died when my mother died you know you did this entire catastrophe has been nothing but history's longest suicide note they fight again alucard quickly drives a stake into his father's torso though he misses the heart not quite close enough dracula says before throwing alucard off him and removing the stake their battle continues as sifa and belmont run through the corridors toward the sound of combat alucard and dracula's fight takes them to a room bathed in red moonlight through large broken windows alucard attacks with supernatural speed until his father viciously grabs the boy's head throwing his son to the ground over and over he crushes alucard's skull into the ground he punches him through a wall reduced to animalistic growls dracula stalks toward his nearly immobilized son alucard weakly attempts another attack but is swiftly discarded again thrown into another room dracula walks toward alucard until his blood red eyes notice where they are it's your home dracula says his outstretched nails close in a fist and the vicious expression drops from his face leaving only sadness he looks at the decorations on his son's wall the drawings on his desk and alucard's childhood bed the red fades from dracula's eyes and the two of them look into the stars painted above them dracula hugs himself and his lip trembles my boy i'm i i'm killing my boy he turns to a family portrait and continues lisa i'm killing our boy we painted this room we made these toys it's our boy lisa your greatest gift to me and i'm killing him i must already be dead as dracula speaks to his dead wife alucard breaks a post from his bed creating another makeshift steak he approaches his father alucard looks him in the eyes and dracula does not stop him from sinking the sharp wood into his heart dracula begins turning to ash and stumbles toward his son as alucard's friends finally arrive belmont swings his sword swiftly removing dracula's rapidly deteriorating head with a magically produced flame syfa finishes the job with shrieking smoke flowing from the castle dracula finally dies alucard sadly realizes that he killed his own father trevor and sifa quickly reassure him that he saved countless lives but it's all right to mourn the man too cipher says he died long time ago a la carte says with sifa's arm on alucard's shoulder and her hand in trevor's they walked to the castle's exit just in time to see the rising sun with the crisis averted they take some time to explore the now abandoned and damaged castle for alucard it's a melancholy experience stirring memories of childhood meanwhile trevor teases syfa for melting the engine room though she blames the engine for straining against her spell back at the exit she asks trevor what he thinks alucard will do now alucard overhears and shares that his original plan was to return to sleep in gretchen but now he feels wrong abandoning all his father's work and knowledge i can't just leave it here alucard says it'd be nothing but a grave to be robbed so let it be my grave no trevor says at alucard's confusion trevor explains the castle can no longer move since sifa broke it i do not break things cypher proclaims but alucard agrees with trevor's assessment then trevor continues the castle is stuck right above the belmont hold the collected knowledge of alacrad's father up here and below the collected knowledge of his mother's people alucard is intrigued and trevor continues bequeathing the belmont hold to alucard make that and the castle your home not your grave he says be its last defender protect it make something out of it something better than a pile of ruins and a symbol of terror alucard nods in agreement in a desert isaac is discovered by five men on horseback the men quickly decide to drag isaac to the next town and see if they can sell him he of course does not abide and swiftly slaughters the men at night he resurrects the men into demonic creatures and the first soldiers in a new army of his own the next morning he leads his new followers to find more recruits walking through peaceful wilderness sifa tells trevor she wants to rejoin her caravan and share her story for their memory stores after that she's not sure what she'll do you'll travel with them surely trevor says go back to your old life she's unsure though she recounts some of the exciting times she's had ever since joining trevor on his adventure why would i want to stop now she asks trevor tells her to go on and she points out that dracula's hordes are still out there and they've seen how corrupt the church is we're not finished yet are we she asks trevor with a smile she does not want to stop and she points out it's good for trevor too how on earth did you come to that decision trevor asks when i met you you reeked of piss blood and stale beer you killed a monster largely by accident hey that took serious skills trevor interrupts and then it demanded alcohol she continues before storming off like a toddler with a thistle up his back end and now in the short time we have known each other you have rediscovered yourself and you've grown today might be the first time i feel like i was talking to an adult man you're better than you were when i met you do you know why i think that is when trevor shrugs she answers it's because you're doing what you were born for as insane as it sounds this entire nightmare scenario has made you complete i think you should see it through with me they talk more and trevor admits that this is the closest thing he's had to a life and she's the closest thing he's had to a friend in a long time she holds out her hand and he takes it agreeing to join her on whatever adventures await she suggests they see her people then head to braila but she adds let's stay here just a little longer in brella carmilla informs an already sullen hector that dracula's dead then her people put a chained collar around hector's neck he struggles as carmilla informs him of her plans she'll head back to her land of styria recuperate and then take over the void in the vampire power structure for that she'll need hector's skills as a forge master to give her a horde as dracula had at hector's refusal she laughs and slaps him to the ground and with her face inches from his informs hector that he is her pet now then gleefully punches him again and again until his hands raise in submission they head towards styria on horseback while hector is forced to walk with his chain held by carmilla elsewhere before sifa and trevor head off alucard warns her not to let that idiot get her into too much trouble then they say they're farewells trevor waves goodbye alucard gives him the finger and trevor laughs with a quiet you before they leave in the wagon as they ride off sifa holds on to trevor and they look toward their future together meanwhile alucard wanders through his castle alone surrounded by ghostly visions of his past at the thought of his mother he weeps some time passes a lonely alucard catches fish and tends to his garden he makes dinner and drinks from his father's wine collection he talks to dolls fashioned in the form of trevor and sifa and he mockingly mimics their voices so they talk back after talking to himself for a bit he concludes saying oh my god i am losing my mind it's only been a month i think meanwhile scifi and trevor confidently lure nearby monsters on their way to the next town they let the demonic creatures get close as seifa plays a damsel in distress oh no night creatures whatever shall i do out here alone in the forest with only my brain damaged servant who talks about nothing but beer trevor rolls his eyes as seifer continues when the monsters get close cipher sighs poor beasties before she and trevor begin their attack after taking out one of the beasts trevor is thrown against a tree but ultimately they are victorious and mostly unscathed before continuing on the road trevor ties one of the demon carcasses to the wagon so when they arrive at the next town they'll look like useful friends calling the area of hazards in styria carmilla arrives at her castle her first order of business is complaining to lenoir and striga of the chaos she endured the last 30 days they were forced to march most of the way as their horses were killed by angry humans in the first week she continues listing the many annoyances they faced humans fighting each other night creatures gone mad even vampire packs trying to set up kingdoms then she hands hector over and asks that they throw it in a cell and give it food once a day striga has him sent to the western cell block then they head inside hector is stripped of his clothing then thrown in his cell he is also given his first meal a piece of moldy bug-ridden bread carmilla lenoir and striga meet with miranda hearing how awful carmilla's trip was mirana offers a delicious glass of virgin blood with her mood improved the group welcomes carmilla home again and the four queens of styria enjoy their reunion in a small town a man named saint germain haggles over the price of two apples when a wagon arrives wondering who it could be he notices the knight creature being dragged behind the wagon and comments well this is new trevor disembarks from the wagon and asks had you been having problems with a knight creature pack outside your lovely town a bald man dressed in robes confirms they were and trevor announces that he and his partner decided to take care of the problem for them when trevor asks where they are the man tells them their town is called lindenfeld the minister town sifa says then she jumps off the wagon and joins trevor asking the spire we saw from the road belongs to the priory yes oh the man says you're a speaker we haven't seen any of your people in some while it's a genuine honor then he bows and adds i'm the judge of lindenfeld when they ask his name he replies that he's simply the judge wait a moment trevor says intensely he notices robed figures and green armbands arrive those are priests of the priory the judge says take care they are somewhat uh broken salah with wide unblinking eyes leads two other monks behind him and approaches the judge he asks what is happening and gestures to trevor asking if he killed the knight creature trevor confirms he did good salah says the horde betrayed dracula at brella murder at the hands of vagabonds and the long dragging behind a wagon is no less than they deserve i would very much like to know who killed him speaker salah says why sifa asks so my men can punish those responsible he says dracula sought to reunite us all in hell with his beloved wife okay then trevor says nice to meet you salah suspiciously comments that there was a speaker woman at grecit sifa angrily replies that there are speakers everywhere and they would have given aid and comfort to those harmed by dracula's hordes at the growing tension the judge tells salah it is time for you and yours to move along now pryor the three monks leave and trevor asks what the hell that was we suffered an attack during the recent troubles the judge replies it was a difficult night for the priory honestly though when it was learned that the actions of the church were what unleashed it all i think it just sent pryor salah and his people quite mad he's been taking in refugees of a similar turn of mind when he asks their names trevor finally introduces himself and sifa though he holds off on last names until they feel safer the judge agrees this is sensible and shakes trevor's hand welcoming him to lindenfeld then a merchant offers to buy the knight creature's teeth at three coins each trevor accepts and with the promise of money he frantically searches and finds a man selling beer nearby however for killing the knight creature the bartender gives trevor a free glass after a few gulps trevor breathlessly comments that the beer is better than sex offended scifi uses her magic to make the beer undrinkable then leaves and an apologetic trevor follows at carmilla's castle a guard grabs a bucket of ice cold water and pours it on an unclothed hector in the city of tunis the citizens scream in terror as isaac casually walks a small army of knight creatures behind him he leaves them outside as he enters a shop run by an older blind man a man who recognizes isaac as a forge master by the smell of a hell which emanates from him isaac explains that he's visiting because he heard the man possesses a large carpathian transmission mirror however the man reveals he sold that mirror years ago instead he offers a distance mirror which allows for remote viewing but not teleportation testing its ability isaac uses it to see hector and pinpoint his location at carmilla's castle seeing hector's pitiful naked form isaac exclaims ha there you are are you breathing betrayer the blind man does not charge isaac for the mirror he recognizes isaac as someone who received few gifts in life and it pleases him to improve the balance he also adds that when he eventually goes to hell it might be good to have a forge master owe him a favor they laugh outside isaac finds men with swords demanding he leave the city he promises that he will just as soon as he finds a ship no they say and insist he leave immediately isaac calmly explains that he was spoiled by a single act of kindness in the city so he attempted to be reasonable but of course these men with swords only show him hate he will not make that mistake again i don't need any of these bodies for forging he tells his army you may eat and so the creatures feast at the port a board ship captain awaits their next voyage the captain is uninterested in where they're going but at least they're going somewhere he grins at the arrival of a strange man leading a horde of knight creatures my friends and i need a ship to take us to genoa isaac says the man gestures to his ship and isaac suggests he may take it you could the captain says you surely could i see all your sharp-toothed little friends and i've been afloat long enough to know what they are isaac asks why he's still talking to him then the captain says it's because he's interested and likes to do business isaac says he thinks he'll kill the captain kill his men and take the ship you could you surely could the captain says but he suggests who would sail the ship the captain casually offers that he and his crew will transport isaac for some coin and the promise that his men won't be harmed he's bored and he knows that traveling with the forge master will be anything but boring impressed or perhaps simply amused by the man isaac agrees to the arrangement at carmilla's castle she lays out a plan for her sisters to their east there is 800 miles of territory fractured by dracula's meddling they will take it and enclose it turning it into a large pen for human livestock it will take an army but hector the forge master can create one for them however morena reminds her that hector will have no interest in helping carmilla do anything especially after the way she's treated him striga adds that knight creatures are loyal to their forge masters they might just be giving hector the chance to make his own army lenore interrupts with the promise that she'll handle it carmilla smiles and asks is this going to be like the time you found a spider with one broken leg and you tore the castle apart looking for something small enough to make a splint out of in lindenfeld st germain excitedly approaches trevor and quickly points out he recognized his belmont crest allow me to formally introduce myself saint germain says as he bows i am the count saint germain doubtless your family told you stories about me uh trevor explains my family were a little too dead to tell me many stories oh of course the purge jermaine says great sympathies terrible crime he explains that he knew trevor's family and wonders what brought him to lindenfeld belmont provides no answers then saint germain walks over to the priors and asks if they've given more thought to his request to enter the priory repair their damaged books and translate those written in foreign languages help they could certainly use since their last scribe was devoured saint germain tries to sweeten the pot promising he has knowledge of dracula and he'll likely find more as he translates the works that prior salah himself cannot read or repair finally saleh grants st germain limited access to the priory so that he can search for new knowledge of dracula and hell before saint germain leaves he asks what interests them so much about hell dracula's wife is alive in hell salah answers dracula went from breyla to join her there in the wilderness by alucard's castle alucard senses two hunters he quickly disarms them before they cause any harm he pins one of them to the ground a girl and she quickly explains they were not hunting him the man was going to cover her with his bow and arrow while she came out to talk to alucard the man runs over to join them and they explain they've come a long way to find alucard they introduced themselves as sumi and taka they hunt vampires they were going after one in particular named cho they were slaves to her in japan and when she left to join dracula they were able to escape if cho was with dracula in the castle alucard suggests she likely died in brela sumi and taka point out there are other vampires in japan they need more knowledge to fight them and free their people sumi asks if alucard will teach them he warns that it will be difficult but they are steadfast he looks to the sky and thinks out loud that his mother would approve of him passing down the collective knowledge he possesses alucard agrees to train them in lindenfeld trevor and sifa enjoy reflecting on their adventures so far though without monsters to slay or problems to solve for the moment sypha is growing bored so they decide to leave town and trevor adds that lindenfeld is starting to give him the creeps suddenly they find the judge behind them and he asks them to accompany him for tea at his home the judge demands to know who exactly they are finally they introduce themselves with full names and reveal they are the ones who killed dracula he laughs until sifa shows off her abilities and the judge decides he believes them then the judge asks if they'll help figure out what's going on in the priory he tells them that their town was hit by a pack of night creatures they managed to defend themselves but one strange creature leapt into the priory listening from outside the judge did not hear the sounds of killing in the priory instead he heard a strange language and saw a green glow emanate from inside the monster was talking to the monks then lightning struck over and over and finally the green light flickered and exploded outward and suddenly the rain stopped later monks came out with blackened pieces of the creature they couldn't stop crying and just looked broken unable to speak a word after that salah refused to allow anyone to enter the priory a few days later a priest covered in blood arrived seeking the priory and every few days other strangers have similarly arrived seeking it the judge wants to know why and asks if as a speaker magician and a belmont they'll investigate sifa gleefully stares at trevor waiting for him to break his resilience and return the stare she knows that the moment he does he'll give in to her and take the judge's quest after a moment trevor does exactly that somewhere in the mediterranean isaac and the captain sit down to chat at the captain's urging isaac tells him his whole story including the parts about dracula the captain asks isaac if his time with dracula was really just a drawn out suicide perhaps it was isaac admits but adds that he does find the human race worthless and thinks a fresh start would be good isaac goes on to share the distance mirror and explains how it showed him hector he also mentions the blind man who gifted it to him in exchange for isaac saving him from hell one day the captain asks if the blind man laughed after he asked isaac for the favor isaac confirms that he did the captain points out that means he was joking about being saved from hell and the mirror truly was a gift he also asks if it's really possible to be saved from hell and isaac responds i'm a forge master i can take demons from hell and install them in dead bodies on earth he explains that it is a skill inaccessible by vampires it requires a human connection the captain surmises that isaac's next steps are to exact revenge on those who betrayed dracula and then what the captain asks isaac is confused and the captain asks again what will he do after he's had his blood will he take on dracula's cause and eradicate humanity i might isaac says the captain offers that maybe instead of living out dracula's story isaac should live in his own when isaac retorts that humanity is corrupt and should be exterminated the captain counters that just yesterday someone gave isaac a gift and made a joke if he ends the human race he ends human cruelty but also human kindness instead of killing why not use his knowledge to teach people how to be kind why not lead just like he leads his beasties at carmilla's castle lenore visits hector and shows him kindness telling the guard to leave before she kills him for treating hector so poorly hector accuses lenore of putting on a show so he'll think she's sympathetic why would you think such a thing she scoffs he flippantly tells her vampires like to play with their food not her she insists unlike carmilla she introduces herself as lenore the diplomat among the four sisters of the ruling council miranda is the organizer striga is the warrior and carmilla is the visionary lenore offers hector some food and he refuses saying he prefers the rotten maggot written food he's usually given then she loudly enjoys a blackberry and offers again she waves it like a treat to a dog and he crawls over to accept it hector thanks her and they share a laugh when lenore apologizes for the absence of maggots in it when hector struggles to stand lenore assures him she is not there to cause any further harm let's just have something to eat and talk when she reaches into the cage with a piece of roasted chicken he thanks her before yanking her arm slamming her head into the bars he painfully bends her arm forcing her back toward him he expertly squeezes her throat with two fingers and growls i know i can't kill you but you call the guard and tell him to unlock this door or i will rip your throat out and break your neck and we'll just see how well you live lenore explodes into a cloud of bats easily escaping his grasp retaking vampire form she kicks hector causing his head to brutally slam into the metal bars around him then throws him against the wall she kicks his head once again holds him by the throat then discards him like a piece of meat before leaving the bloody hector behind she tells him that she's a diplomat she makes peace because of that people think she's soft you won't make that mistake again will you she asks at alucard's castle sumi tells more of her and taka's story they lived trapped in cho's fortress they were given to her as children and every day witnessed her cruelty taking pleasure finding new ways to kill or torture they spent years watching her learning when she left for dracula's war court they killed all her guards and freed their people but knew cho would return someday so they hunted her but instead they found alucard and now that she is dead they know other vampires will eventually take her court over so they need alucard's help to know how to fight them at carmilla's castle striga complains to marana of carmilla's over-the-top scheming but miranda leans her head on striga's shoulder and reminds her that it's thanks to carmilla they got to fall in love in a fairy tale castle not one to be outwardly warm striga reluctantly agrees but complains again of carmilla's foolhardy plan to take 800 miles of territory when morena asks if it is militarily possible striga hesitates but concludes that in theory it is possible then miranda explains that if they're successful they would not be just a region or country but an empire striga laughs excitedly at the prospect of leading an imperial army and laughs again at how carmilla infects them with her big dreams then the two hug each other and look out at the moonlit sky celebrating the four sisters that will rule an empire in lindenfeld st germain walks past staring monks and into the priory trying to act inconspicuous inside he sees the remnants of a church with crooked pews and an upside down cross at the front the place stinks with rot blood and buckets full of something the men inside appear to be anything but sane quite lovely saint germain says between coughs salah brings him to a pile of books saying he can start his work there but first saint germain asks about the symbol on their walls and armbands those of us who bore witness to the visitor wear it saula says because he gave it to us saint germain asks if salah knows what it means saul says it is the visitor's mark no salah saint germain says it's the alchemical sign for sulfur used by philosophers to denote hell saula finds this to be magnificent and is finally impressed with saint germain he excitedly asks him to begin work and find them more treasuriest knowledge before leaving salem makes saint germain promise not to explore anywhere beyond this hall outside sifa and trevor tried to ask one of the monks some questions they are quickly surrounded and told to leave before they do they notice the symbol on their armbands and hear mention of the visitor as they leave syfa quietly tells trevor to ready his whip then turns to ask the monks one more question speakers tend to be natural prey in towns because we don't carry weapons so we all learn how to spot when someone's concealing a knife don't you think priests wearing a magic sign for hell and hiding blades in the robes is a little obvious even for a small town a priest readies his knife and trevor brandishes his whip neither attack trevor and sifa leave at carmilla's castle lenore visits hector again he asks her to drop the nice act he's only alive because carmilla wants a forge master lenore gives him an apple and asks a question what does he want he asks for shoes then she asks another question what was dracula going to give him in exchange for building an army hector is unsure how to answer he assumed dracula would allow him to live outside the human enclosures though as lenore points out there were not going to be any enclosures as dracula lied to hector his plan was not to control humanity but eradicate it in fact carmilla's plan is much closer to the one that dracula promised to hector lenoir asks if hector even wanted a reward for his work or was he just hoping dracula would present him with one she again asks what hector wants he is again hesitant until she lays it out they are presenting the same plan dracula did only they are not lying and they do not expect hector to work for free when hector doubts her intent she reminds him that this is commerce no faith is needed she will give him something and in return he'll provide his skills as a forge master for now lenoir tells hector she'll bring him some shoes in exchange for hearing him talk some more she likes hearing his voice you're interesting she says flirtatiously i mean look at you beaten down a dozen different ways and you don't give up on yourself it's nice then she leaves in genoa isaac disembarks from the captain's ship he is immediately met with hostile men isaac attempts diplomacy but is met only with fear and demands that he leave frustrated isaac asks himself why he keeps allowing this to happen then his night creatures slaughter the men and give him fresh material to welcome more creatures into his army in the wilderness just outside lindenfeld trevor bumps into the judge by a stream he tells trevor this is his place of peace where he sometimes comes to think over a drink they both talk about their past on the walk back the judge notices a symbol etched on the town's gate it wasn't there yesterday trevor asks if he is sure and the judge makes it clear that it's his town and his job to pay attention to it i have to say trevor comments running a town does not sound like it's fun it has its little pleasures the judge responds as he leaves inside the priory saint germain makes his way through some of the books when he notices the monks leave and he is left alone st germain wastes no time before snooping he extracts a small jewel from his bag and holds it up until it shines with bright colors it's here he says it's really here he walks through the priory and the jewel seems to guide him to a stairway leading to the basement he places a foot on the first step when salah appears in front of him you were told to stay saint germain the priest says saint germain apologizes and explains he was just looking for a discreet place to urinate salah tells him to go outside like everyone else he leaves and runs into sifa who points out that she's seen only the monks enter or leave the priory except for saint germain she's also noticed that he's a magician saint germain quickly turns away from her saying he prefers not to discuss it he does not want the people in town knowing what he's really capable of with a smile sifa says what you're saying is you'd like to keep it that way detecting her mildly threatening tone saint germain apologizes and comes clean about his true intentions there is a thing i am in search of inside the priory it is a cult in nature it is quite safe if operated wisely yes i am quite sure something else is going on in there it stinks of knight creature but my only interest is in that one thing so i would respectfully ask that you go forth and cipher stops him and asks him to move aside as she spots a strange symbol etched into the wall behind him she observes that it's the alchemical sign for saturn and lead saint germain says denoting transformation and redemption sifa adds and the scythe time and the harvest she asks how the monks got the other sign on their armbands saint germain tells her that the monks claim their visitor handed it to them trevor appears and notices the symbol as the same one he saw earlier with the judge when saint germain continues to play coy about exactly what he's searching for trevor insists he joined them for a drink at the tavern at alucard's castle he begins training sumi and taka in combat with a sword sumi complains she can't get close due to his long sword and he warns you should never get close to a vampire eventually the fighting devolves into playful attacks ending with the three of them in a pile in the grass laughing then with alucard carrying sumi on his back they head inside for lunch as they walk sumi turns and gives taka a knowing look at the tavern in lindenfeld saint germain finally tells his story he dramatically asks if either of them have ever heard of the infinite corridor yes trevor and sifa answer in unison cipher heard it leads to hell she also heard it leads to other worlds trevor heard that it leads to many different hells their understanding of it differs slightly but saint germain explains that it is a route to many other worlds one of which may be hell but generally it is a system of doors to other lands separated from their own by space and time a long time ago saint germain lost someone very dear to him in the infinite corridor and he has been looking for a way back ever since portals to it are rare and they drift in and out of existence he produces the shining jewel from his bag and explains that it detects a portal under the priory syfa asks who he lost and saint germain grows frustrated telling them that all he asks is they stay out of his way however sifa and trevor suggest that it's probably no accident knight creatures came to the exact location of the portal in fact they probably never left and whatever they're up to likely involves the portal well saint germain says hoping to wave away their concerns then he realizes they are right and adds at carmilla's castle hector wears the clothes and boots gifted to him by lenore then she offers to take him on a walk under the condition he wears a leash something striga insisted on although freezing hector tries to enjoy the fresh air finally free from his cell at the balcony lenoir tries to convince hector that they're on his side he insists carmilla made him betray dracula lenore disagrees carmilla helped hector see that dracula was insane she helped him make the right choice nobody here wants to harm you she says we just don't quite trust you yet pointing out that he did try to hurt her at a distance striga eavesdrops on the conversation and raises an issue to carmilla hector turns dead bodies into night creatures where will they get enough fresh dead bodies for the army they need carmilla suggests they'll deal with that after lenoir solves the hector problem back inside the castle lenore drops hector off in a new cell a larger one with a desk candle and books the guard locks the door and lenora gently pulls hector toward her so she can unleash him this brings her face inches from his so that if either leaned forward only slightly their lips would meet her hand brushes the sides of his neck to unsnap the caller then she leans back and asks if she can see him tomorrow night yes he answers quickly uh yes of course in lindenfeld trevor and cipher lie in bed together and discuss their thoughts on saint germain trevor does not trust him but he's not what he thought on first impression he's sad cipher suggests they both observe that saint germain puts on a front and trevor is bothered by how quickly he dropped it for them he suggests that maybe saint germain has been alone so long he dropped the front so quickly because he's that desperate for friends scifi looks trevor in the eyes the way only sifa can and suggests they help the man outside a monk carves one of their symbols on the side of the building where they sleep elsewhere in town saint germain screams as he dreams of falling through the portal he comes to a stop and walks through the corridor shouting where are you he finds himself in a desolate land where a large mechanical beast lumbers over him he continues to search for the one he lost revealing more strange worlds he sees pyramids a machine that flies before a fractured moon a tribal man swinging something rapidly in circles please tell me where you are saint germain begs a world full of twisted staircases and bookshelves floats before him he spots the silhouette of a young girl and reaches out his hand to her she reaches back but they are too far apart before the portal closes the silhouette tosses him a jewel saint germain wakes panting heavily then writes in a notebook he speaks to himself wondering if he ever had good dreams and telling the one he lost that he no longer wants to sleep not until they are back not until he lives in the good dream again not until you're back he says in a desert outside genoa isaac sits at a campfire under the watchful eye of night creatures he asks for the one who can talk well and a humanoid insect joins him by the fire do you remember who you were isaac asks before you went to hell i almost do it's like i remember how it was to dream and to remember moments of the dream but never the entire play it responds isaac asks what he remembers and the creature continues i was a scholar in a place called athens i think it was a long time ago i was a philosopher isaac is surprised and this was a thing that sent you to hell i lived as a man during a time when the empire that ruled athens changed its religion and laws i believed philosophy to be the study of the systems of the world and our purposes in it and yet discussion of the nature of the divine became a crime christians hunted him and in a church before a judge he lied he gave up others so that he may live i became a sinner it says and they killed me anyway i woke up in hell because this world is insane and i learned something about sin what did you learn isaac asks the fly leans forward i learned to like it yet here i am back on the surface of the earth strong and free in a world where thinking is considered something that should be tortured and murdered thank you for my second life i intend to use it well and make wonderful new dreams of it at alucard's castle sumi asks if the engine room which moves it can ever be fixed alucard explains that it can but it would take a long time and there are more important things to do right now he takes sumi and taka to the belmont hold they ask a lot of questions about potential weapons so alucard clarifies you do understand i'm sharing all of this with you so that you'll remember it and pass it on not just the war making at lindenfeld the judge chides a child for running then his tone softens and he tells the child of a secret path he can take through the woods where his parents say not to go there the child will find the judge's secret apple tree if the child tells no one about it he can have three apples at that the boy runs off excitedly in search of the tree at the priory st germain returns to continue his work in the stack of books he finds one with a cover stitched together of a strange material and a hand print on one side in it he finds detailed drawings and descriptions of monsters and he finds missing pages salah chalks up the missing pages to normal wear and tear st germain points out the tears haven't yellowed the pages were removed recently pages which saint germain explains involve methods and processes for returning people from hell salla continues to brush it off and saint germain continues explaining the book was written by a forge master 200 years ago an insane forge master who did not practice in the usual way salah asks if the book mentions dracula it does not and therefore it does not interest him salah leaves elsewhere outside genoa isaac continues his march when he comes across a lone elderly woman in a rocking chair good morning sir forge master she greets him recognizing his demonic scent she warns that he'll find no fresh bodies to kill and forge here as she is entirely alone the once teeming village is now empty instead she recommends isaac head 13 miles north where he'll find a prison-like town run by a magician the magician had dreams of a city so she says he swept up the surrounding villages cooked their souls down to ash turn them into ants make them eat and stack bricks isaac finds it odd that this woman somehow survived and allowed her neighbors to be taken unless of course he says you're not quite what you pass yourself off as a wind blows and the woman glows with a purple hue then she sits saying she's not as strong as she once was this life takes its toll forge master she says it does isaac replies as he sits and introduces himself i'm isaac miranda she answers then explains that when the magician attacked she was able to frighten off his forces but did not have strong enough magic to protect any others in reply isaac tells his story she is shocked to learn he is on a long hike to styria then informs him the magician 30 miles north has a transmission mirror one that is unusually tall and wide and it can transmit many people at once she tells them he could kill everyone in the town forge an army then teleport with them through the mirror to styria she laughs and encourages isaac to go forth and take his revenge on the human race it would please a tired old colleague in your art and it would be justice she says before isaac leaves she warns that there are worse things than vampires in styria and worse things than betrayal in lindenfeld sifa and trevor spy on a couple of monks carving another of their symbols on a home they decide to question the two monks but trevor suggests they only need one of them with a smile he asks that cipher let him handle it i'm a simple man with simple pleasures he says strolling toward the monks he enjoys the brawl which ends with one monk stuffed into a barrel and the other dragged away by belmont at his home the judge nervously wipes his hands sweats profusely and shuts the curtains around him he is interrupted by trevor and safa's arrival and the unconscious monk they toss onto his floor trevor informs him that they caught the monk carving a symbol into the side of a home the same one they saw at the front gate trevor kicks the monk and demands he tell the judge what the symbol means at his refusal sifa explains that the symbol has a set of meanings that taken together mean death and transformation they're planning something magical in nature at the priory saint germain is left alone and again investigates the staircase he heads to the basement where he finds glowing green fungus leading to the monk's demonic visitor with its arms outstretched each nailed to a wooden plank at carmilla's castle striga in the middle of the day restlessly reworks their plans while morena tries coaxing her back to bed strigo worries that they need to move quickly what if the humans are regrouping and planning to retaliate miranda sets her mind at ease with the promise that human borders are defended by mercenaries who can be turned to their side with the simple promise of higher pay at alucard's castle taka tells sumi he believes alucard is holding things back from them they also believe alucard is punishing himself for killing his father he stays at the lonely castle because it is as close as he can get to death without actually killing himself they agree they should do something for him give him some kind of reward in the basement of the priory at lindenfeld saint-germain stares in terror at the monk's visitor though he calms when it does not seem to react to his presence then he notices the symbol on the floor takes a step back and runs when the creature begins to roar and thrash at the priory's exit he runs into salah saint germain tries to leave and tells salah he's learned so many wonderful things from the books what have you learned salah asks sternly blocking saint germain's path so saint germain shares some of what he learned and salah is disappointed to find they are not the first who attempted to open a portal to hell at the priory in fact st germain points out the building may be contaminated by those previous attempts he recommends salah flee to avoid the hellish contamination then saint germain leaves nearby at the judge's house trevor interrogates their captive monk for information the monk reveals that the visitors spoke to them in their minds shared a plan to bring hell to their abandoned earth the monks have been spreading to other towns sharing the plan saint germain bursts into the room and announces they've got a night creature under the priory near the infinite corridor the monk's plan is still unclear but it seems to involve working with a creature that has taught them some magic the judge decides he'll gather his men discreetly and plan to attack the priory at sundown clearing a path for trevor sipha and saint germain to get to the night creature in the basement the basement where at the moment salah praises the creature you have shown us the truth we have listened we have prepared we have restrained you as you wished we have given you time to meditate as you asked god has abandoned the earth dracula must be brought back it is what you want it is what he who forged you would want we do this in the name of our visitor and his forge master isaac when the sun goes down we shall do what needs to be done at alucard's castle alucard gives his two trainees a tour of the armory taka asks about the castle's engine again and asks if alucard is keeping something from them when the vampire's taken it back sumi points out there are parts of the castle he avoids showing them things he doesn't talk about alucard suggests they'll get to them eventually we have plenty of time together don't we he asks yes we do sumi agrees and she and taka each take one of alucard's arms and walk with him in his cell hector's reading is interrupted by a visit from lenore he notices a black and red ring on her finger she explains that it represents night and blood the thing which binds vampires together miranda striga and carmilla and she all wear them at lenoir's insistence he reluctantly admits vampires may be more than just monsters in fact the book he's reading is fascinating it's filled with vampire philosophy then lenore changes the subject diplomacy is hard when one side has all the power she can do anything while hector is just a pretty man in a box i'm i'm pretty hector asks it just doesn't seem fair lenore adds she beckons him to sit next to her on his blanket he does and she grabs his hand she kisses him and points out the one advantage he has in the negotiation she likes him hector is confused he thought his advantage is that they need his magic to raise an army lenore shrugs and points out that's no longer true carmilla is simply planning to buy an army of mercenaries hector is no longer needed we could just leave hector lenore suggests if you want to be with me in lindenfeld trevor sypha and saint germain along with the judge and his men marched toward the priory on the way sifa asks saint germain how one opens the infinite corridor he explains that it requires an appalling act of will combining ancient knowledge and sacrificing something of your soul it is also near impossible to direct with any accuracy saint germain can do it but it took him a year to recover from the last time and we're sure the monks don't know an entrance to the corridor is down there she asks absolutely he replies it's invisible to the human eye it's why i need the jewel sipha looks down and says i think we've made a terrible mistake outside the priory they come to a stop and the judge shouts salah prior salah when you were a simple man of the church i tolerated your hold on my people when you became a mad hermit who shunned my people i tolerated you still no more you will vacate the priory throw your weapons out as you exit when there is no reply he continues salah i know you have deconsecrated the priory god is no longer in that house you enjoy no protection out all of you now inside the halls are empty of any monks however streaks of blood lead through the isle of pews down the stairs and into the basement there buckets of blood are poured into the shape of their symbol and salah uses some of the blood to draw a pentagram on the creature's torso it is time sala announces the sun sets in lindenfeld the symbols around the town fill with flame before the homes they decorate explode into pillars of fire burning the families within them the fiery pillars reach to the sky then intertwine and lead back into the priory the screams of human souls can be heard as they are carried by the flames trevor leads the judge's men toward the priory where they are met by saul's armed followers in carmilla's castle lenoir pulls hector into an embrace and kiss as they lie in his cell elsewhere isaac storms into a town of people with glowing green crowns indicating their enslavement to the magician isaac's knight creatures kill as quickly as they can and one by one he forges them into more monsters for his army in alucard's castle the vampire lies restlessly in bed unable to sleep until his door opens sumi and taka enter his chambers wearing only their nightgowns they sit on his bed you've been so alone taka says it's time for your reward sumi adds in alucard's castle taka sumi and alucard disrobe in carmilla's castle lenore and hector do the same in lindenfeld flames roar as the judge's men and saul's followers clash in bloody combat in the basement the pillars of flame meet in a swirl before screaming into the pentagram drawn on the knight creature salah stares in terror as a portal opens and small creatures fly out of it followed by a much larger one in the magically enslaved town the controlled humans gained some edge in their fight against isaac's creatures in the midst of battle isaac spots a conspicuous glowing tower in the distance and quickly makes his way toward it on horseback forging more creatures on the way around him the humans with green crowns begin floating into the sky toward the tower a massive sphere of human bodies forms above the town and begins launching clusters of people as fleshy cannonballs into isaac's army isaac dodges most of the attacks but as one body flies toward him he draws his dagger and forges the weaponized two men into a large knight creature one large enough to distract the floating sphere of living bodies isaac manages to reach the tower and runs into it he makes his way up the spiral stairs dodging attacks from more controlled people floating from the sphere into the tower's windows in lindenfeld the small flying creatures leave the priory and attack the warring men outside it during the distraction trevor and sifa fight their way into the priory bringing saint germain with them protected by floating ice shields produced by sypha inside they find the large pitchfork wielding beast from the portal it manages to knock sifa into the air where she faces a second similar monster it flies at her but she quickly repurposes saint germain's shields as blades and the creature is quickly dismembered in the priory trevor faces the other creature which is still in one piece until belmont's morning star takes its left leg moments later trevor angrily kills it in close range then he regroups with sifa and saint germain elsewhere isaac reaches the top of the tower and runs toward an old magician isaac stops when a glowing green crown appears above his own head but before its full control takes hold isaac removes it with his dagger and kills the wizard outside the crowns disappear as does the magic which suspended the villagers above ground bodies reign over the town isaac smiles in a cell in carmilla's castle lenore holds hector as the two make love tell me you're mine she says and he does she quietly slips a ring on his finger and asks him to promise his loyalty he does and the ring glows then painfully squeezes his finger in alucraad's bed sumi and taka pleasure the vampire as they quietly slip restraints on each of his wrists blood flows from hector's hand magic restraints explode from the metal rings around alucard's wrists tightly binding his entire body a red glow fires from the ring on hector's finger dispersing like snakes ripping in and out of his body as though he were a man caught in barbed wire he screams meanwhile alucard's restraints burn into his skin and sumi and taka draw swords above him in lindenfeld sifa st germain and trevor finally reached the basement they see the knight creature with the shapes of human faces covering its body as the souls carried by fire are trapped within it the beast spits out a pillar of flame and the screams can be heard as the fire launches into the portal it grows brighter solace stares into the portal and asks what the is that through the portal deep within the depths of hell in the rubble of an old home vlad dracula tepes embraces his wife [Music] in a tower no longer inhabited by a mad magician isaac heads to the basement and finds the wizard's transmission mirror outside isaac orders the knight creatures to kill any remaining people but cease the fires and destruction he wants to leave the city standing under lindenfeld trevor sipha and saint germain stare through a portal into hell before saint germain can attempt to close it the restrained knight creature the monk's visitor frees itself and fires a pillar of flame through the prior ceiling and into the sky demonic creatures begin marching out of the portal surrounded by hellspawn trevor asks sifa do you have my back always she answers the demons strike with a combination of magical and physical attacks sifa and trevor quickly respond in kind as they fight saint germain runs to the portal and begins the process of closing it after dispatching several of the monsters trevor comes face to face with the one that opened the portal the monk's visitor he whips it with the morningstar throws a spear into one of its many eyes and kicks it to drive the weapon further through the creature's skull after an explosion from another strike of the morning star the creature quickly heals its many wounds and continues stalking its prey how is this thing still standing trevor asks because it's filled with the souls of the recently murdered saint germain helpfully answers trevor will have to kill it several times over he gets to work outside the judge runs into a field decorated with the corpses of his and sola's men he looks to the sky filled with smoke from his burning village then he spots salah running in his direction moments later the monk drives a blade into the judge's belly the judge grabs salah and speaks painfully you have bested me well done but you may not win the war my men are everywhere it's over salah tells him he's already dead and to let him go the judge holds tight and continues salah take the backfield into the woods go right at the fork and over the creek until you reach the apple tree stand in front of it you will see your path to safety salah asks why he would tell him this it turns out that you were the better judge of all things he answers smiling salah runs and the judge collapses before quietly laughing to himself in the basement trevor expertly showers his enemy with strikes from both his old whip and the morning star the explosions from his attack knock trevor to the ground while saint germain struggles and thus far fails to close the portal through it he sees dracula embracing his wife frustrated saint germain realizes he cannot control the portal but he realizes the damn knight creature currently battling trevor can he bravely leaps onto the creature's back and forcibly places the jewel on one of its eyes the creature thrashes but saint germain holds on dracula and lisa turn and stare as though they can see through the portal vlad reaches an arm toward them but saint germain quickly shouts for the creature to show him what he wants to see suddenly the portal's view changes to the silhouette of the girl saint germain seeks in the world of twisted staircases and bookshelves he quickly shouts for belmont to kill the creature and with a final fiery strike from both whips he does just after the creature throws saint germain into the portal from the other side of the portal he shouts i'm closing the corridor get out now thank you thank you both i'll see you again the portal closes as sifa helps trevor out of the room in alucard's castle the vampire struggles against sumi and taco's restraints they accuse him of lying to them and cheating them they will kill him get the castle to move and build their own empire we have been lied to and cheated across half the world sumi says do you expect us to believe you're different i tried to be alucard responds pitifully he pleads with them to understand that the world is not against them he is not against them they raise their swords and pronounce alucard dead before their throats are swiftly cut by alucard's sword moved by his magic they clutch at their wounds rapidly draining them of blood they gasp and they die the restraints release and alucard sadly addresses his now dead friends i never lied to you meanwhile trevor and cyfa run out of a collapsing priory and find the half-dead judge i've killed salah he whispers he tells them to take the backfield into the woods and go right at the fork in the path they'll find him there then the judge asks for his knife so when he meets salah in hell he can kill him again before dying he asks for one last favor he wants sifa and trevor to burn his house down not far from them solo runs to the back field into the woods he goes right at the fork in the path he finds an apple tree and he falls through the trap in front of it landing on a bed of spikes which quickly kill him in alucard's bedroom he weeps on the carpet scorched by the death of his father where his ring still remains at the apple tree in lindenfeld in the judge's trap sifa and trevor find saul's corpse and they find other smaller skeletal remains at the judge's house rather than burn it down trevor decides to see what's inside and find out what the judge wanted to die with him they find a room full of children's shoes and trevor recalls the judge telling him that running the town has its little pleasures disgusted and disturbed they leave the house and sifa burns it trevor grabs her shaking clenched fist she tells him she wants to leave now and never come back in carmilla's castle lenoir brings hector into a private meeting of the four queens she shows them hector's shaking hand and the slave ring she placed on it she explains that when hector forges a knight creature they are loyal to him but now he is bound to her so the knight creatures will be loyal to her too she hands morana striga and carmilla their own rings which will offer them the same benefit if hector ever tries to harm them or escape the ring will cause him unimaginable pain in return they'll give him living quarters and freedom of the castle he'll live as well as they do carmilla disagrees but lenore insists he gets something from this she says he gets a comfortable life he gets to feel safe terrified hector backs away from the table slowly lenore adds that he'll need a big bed as well it turns out he's actually pretty good at sex and she wants to train him disgusted the three other vampires dismiss her and she happily leaves with hector in hand in the hallway hector collapses to his knees my life is over he says she assures him his life is saved and she gave him what he always really needed she made him her pet the mood is melancholy as trevor and sifa leave lindenfeld she wonders how things went so wrong trevor answers you've spent a couple of months living your life adventures and victories now we're living my life outside his castle alucard speaks to himself well i suppose i could have put up big signs all over the place do not enter danger of death abandon all hope that sort of thing but this seemed to work well enough for dear old dad behind him sumi and taka now corpses on pikes in front of a vampire's castle serve as a warning sign alucard enters his father's castle and the door closes behind him thank you for watching this recap
