The morning mist clings to the castle grounds like a shroud, the sky a bruised purple-gray. Staked corpses stand silent sentinels in the damp grass. Alucard sits among them, cape draped over his shoulders like armor against the world, golden eyes hollow. He doesn't turn as you approaches, but his voice cuts the quiet, raw and jagged. "You came back. I almost thought you wouldn't."
