Castlevania: Red Rose

The Hunters become the Hunted

As usual it was a dark clear night, and everything should be peaceful but unfortunately the sounds of a demon prowling the forest could be heard as it waits for a unexpecting human to pass by so they could attack them.

A bat like demon lets out a low screech when it saw a hooded figure riding on a horse.

It sneaks towards the human and used the darkness to hide its form. And once the demon was close enough, it pounced.

But instead of screaming the hooded figure takes out a silver cross that extended into a whip and wrapped around the demon's neck.

Using his strength, he slams the demon into a tree.

While the demon was dazed the hooded figure jumps off his horse and walks over to the demon. "Such disgusting creatures." He said and extends his whip towards the demon's head and once it made contact the demon exploded.

Turning around the man goes back on his horse and rides away.

4 hours later he finally makes his way to his desired destination which is a medium sized church.

Getting off his trusty steed he ties its reigns to a post and walks inside.

And he was immediately greeted by the multiple priest that were on the alter.

Walking forward he stops once he was a few feet away from the first step.

"You wanted to see me?" he questioned.

"Yes, we need you to investigate a rumor involving a Belmont." The head priest proclaimed.

"And this rumor is?"

"Apparently, a few months ago, a Belmont showed up in Gresit and dealt with the demon hoard there. But what's even more suspicious is that there are rumors that he accomplished this by becoming allies with a vampire, and two witches. Who he is now traveling with. We want to know if these rumors are true or not."

"Did you at least get a description of one of them? It would make my job a lot easier." He stated.

"Yes. Apparently, one of the witches is said to be extraordinarily beautiful, but the strange thing is that she has silver eyes, black hair that fades into red like the color of blood, and she wears a vibrant red cape." The head priest proclaimed.

The man narrows his eyes as he thinks about the description of the witch.

But he lost his train of thought when the head priest started to talk again. "And as always if these rumors are proven true, as the knight of our church, you will dispose of them in the name of god. Do not fail us Soma Cruz."

The man chuckles and lifts his head to look at the priests in the eye.

"Have I ever?" he asked with confidence.

Meanwhile....
Ruby yawns in exhaustion as she walked down the path towards Targoviste.

"Ruby? Are you ok? You seem more tired lately." Sypha stated.

The Huntress smiles in reassurance "I'm fine, I'm just having trouble sleeping." She replied.

Which wouldn't be a problem if a certain witch would stop opening that yammering hole that she calls a mouth.

"I can hear your thoughts you know." Salem stated.

"Заткнись, старая ведьма!" Ruby hissed under her breath.

"What?" Sypha questioned.

Ruby smiles nervously "Nothing, I was just saying on how I really should get some sleep." She lied,
