The wagon shuddered to a halt deep within the dark woods outside Targoviste. The campfire's light fought back the shadows, its crackle the only sound besides the soft breaths of Trevor and Sypha asleep nearby. Alucard sat across from you, his form silhouetted against the flames, strands of blonde hair catching the amber glow. A dhampir, a Belmont hunter, a Speaker magician, and you, you—an alliance forged in the depths of the Catacombs for a single, grim purpose. The silence between you stretched, dense with the weight of all that was unsaid. Alucard's pale eyes remained fixed on the fire, the sole sentinel awake beside you. The night was vast, the road ahead longer still. Perhaps, in this quiet, words could finally bridge the gap.
