The Vampire And The Wolf (Castlevania Story)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Elena's pov

After my conversation with Dracula back at the library and the encounter with his two Forgemasters named Hector and Isaac. I am now following Isaac to the boiler room which was his workplace and it was located in the deeper depths of the castle

The boiler room is very hot but I didn't mind judging by Isaac it seems that he came from a very hot place where he only encountered heat or maybe sand back at his home country

"Here are the books that you must learn for today " Isaac said in his African accent. He gave me three books that it's all about forging and bringing the dead back to life and...that explains it

"So, you Forgemasters are necromancy, right? " I ask. Isaac turn to face me with emotionless expression in his face

"No, necromancy or necromancers and Forgemasters are different from what you've seen. Necromancy are known to be the ones who deals with the Devil and bring those dead ones to the living with magic while Forgemasters on the other hand both Hector and I are able to utilize their magic is by performing rituals with special tools, either to bring people and animals back from the dead or to call demonic spirits from Hell into corpses (that are not too badly damaged), transmogrifying the bodies and turning them into creatures of the night in order to enlist them in Dracula's army. The art of being a forgemaster is a skill that takes many years to master "

"If you two do that. What kind of weapons or materials do you two do in order to create a night creature? "

"Hector uses a hammer like a Hammersmith while I used a knife to stab the person and transforms it into a night creature. Also whenever we forged a night creature they are loyal and obedient to us "

"And Magic needs to be channeled through an instrument of some kind in order for it to work, the same way that breath is channeled through a flute. Not just any tool will work, the instrument must be forged from scratch and it must be forged in a very particular way "

A voice spoke behind which made our heads turned to find Hector entering in the boiler room with his hands are in his back. When we saw him our backs relaxed when it was just him

"Hector, we didn't see you there "

"Yeah I know, sorry about that. Dracula is at his studies and it seems that Dracula is very curious about you, Elena "

"What? " I said. That's the only word I said. This two Forgemasters didn't know that my soulmate is Dracula I planned to not to tell them yet I'll tell them when the time is right

"It's true. I found one of his notes at his studies and it seems that he was learning about your species "

"Well, first of all I was human back then but when I reached 19 my life changes when I was bitten by a werewolf "

"Say, could you tell us more about your werewolf self and how in the world did you get out of your cell " Isaac said. When he ask about how did I got out of my cell I could feel the atmosphere has changed between me and the two Forgemasters

I could feel there eyes are staring at me as they are waiting for my answer and some explanation as well. I tighten the books at my chest as I opened my mouth and answered:

"First, how I got out of my cell well... it's the full moon that time so I transformed into my lycan form not werewolf form. My lycan form is very strong that it broke the wall from my cell and got out of the castle. I have no memory about what happened but Dracula told me that I or Accalia save him from a group of hunters and after the fight Accalia was injuried and Dracula taken care of our wounds and... that's why I ended up out of my cell. Also, Dracula gave me this clothing because he went to the cell and found the mess that Accalia had caused and the fabric of my clothes that were now tear up but don't worry about the cell he fixed it " I explained

It was a long explanation and I want to get that one out of my chest just clear everything up I don't want some misunderstanding at the night between me and Dracula

"Alright, can you tell me about yourself? "

"Um...how am I going to start first... " I think for a minute. There are so many  information about werewolves

"Alright, first of all werewolves are immortals if your human and got bitten by werewolves you become immortal and werewolf "

"Are you human back then? "

"I was. I was bitten when I was 19 while my parents died from a werewolf attack " I said. I look down as I remembered so clearly where those werewolves appeared at midnight and attack me and my parents they were both dead but I survived with a scar in my neck indicating the werewolf bit me there

I felt a warm hand rubbing at my back I look at it and found that Isaac was rubbing my back as a sign of comfort. Which makes me smile I could feel and smell the tragedies that they've been through and even though they tried to comfort me they are still trying

"Sorry that your still upset about it, we didn't know that "

"It's okay, you two deserve to know the truth. Now, moving on to my werewolf form I want you two to know that Accalia is a lycan so...when Dracula met Accalia she was just a lycan, a normal looking wolf "

"Lycans were described as normal wolf, right? "

"Correct but werewolf was defined as a half man and half wolf. They have no control when the moon strikes but there are rare cases where someone who is a werewolf can be triggered by strong emotions even if it's day or night. THAT'S a werewolf "

"So, you can transformed into a lycan but when it comes to your werewolf form it can be triggered by strong emotions " Hector said. He was trying to piece together the information he heard, I noded in confirmation

"Not just triggered by strong emotions but there are times that I transformed under a full moon " I added. It's very unpredictable for me to know if my lycan form or my werewolf form will come out whenever the full moon appeared

"But...Dracula was lucky that she met my lycan form instead of my werewolf form "

"What makes you say that? " Isaac ask. I stayed quiet for a moment as I know they would ask that question

"Because my werewolf form is very dangerous. I tried to be calm as much as possible. My werewolf form sometimes hurt others and I have no control over it, it can talk to me some rare times. So, when Dracula mentions Accalia's name I was so relieved that he met my lycan form because if he did met my werewolf form it will be a bloody fight " I said

I really hate my werewolf form for I have no control over it and it can do whatever it wants to cause chaos and murder. I really hate waking up covered in blood and hearing that someone has died so that's why I tried to be calm when it comes to situations or problems

"What about your lycan form. Is she a problem to you too? "

"No, Accalia sometimes be a troublemaker but majority of it she's quiet " I said. The whole boiler room went silence once again as we just look around and looking at the floor

"Alright, we should head back to work. Elena before you go I want to tell that with a proper knowledge about forging it might take you days, weeks, or maybe months to perform it "

"Thank you for reminding. I should get going, I'll study it at the library "

We bid each other goodbye as I exit the boiler room to read the books that Isaac gave me. While walking I stared at the window to find it that it was dawn, I really need to get hurry they might realized that I was out of my cell and cause some misunderstanding. I should choose the library and I have to make sure that the doors were locked

I brisk walk through the halls of the castle as I feared that every vampire in this castle will wake up from there slumber but I made it to the library safe and sound. I lock the doors and went to the table where me and Dracula sat

I open the books and began my reading.
