Hiraeth - [Alucard/Adrian Tepes x Lycan!Reader]

[10] Combat

The next morning was quite boring. You had eventually parted ways from Alucard, and decided to take some alone time and search for information on your own. The problem was, you did this for hours, not finding a single sentence that helped anyone. You groaned closing another book. By now you were about ready to give up. Was it really that important to defeat Dracula? You groaned at yourself, knowing the right answer.

"Oh. Oh! OH! This is! Tre-Trevor!" You snapped your head in the direction of Sypha's voice. Had she found something? After all this time?

"What?" Trevor asked.

"I found something!" Sypha gleamed. You gleamed, that answered your question.

"When I say what, that doesn't mean I'd like to ask more questions." Trevor boredly states.

"Would you please-? Oh, you're are the most annoying- Just stop." Sypha growled.

Trevor sighed, "I'm coming up."

You started to walk her way too,  eager to see what she found.

"I think I've found a locking spell." Sypha announced. "Wait listen. Your family have an entire literature here about the castle. They tried for centuries to eliminate its main advantage." She continued. "It transports itself through magical means."

"Right. So you can't attack it if it just jumps somewhere else." Trevor added.

"So what the hell can we do?" You frown, placing your elbow on one of your hands.

"Well, some clever Belmont eventually formulated most of a locking spell. A method to catch the castle and lock it down to a single location so that it can be invaded." Sypha grinned.

"Most of it?" I raise an eyebrow.

"I can finish the final clauses of it myself." Sypha replied. "It's all based on Adamical structures."

Alucard eventually makes his way down the ladder on the bookshelf. "You keep saying that word."

"Adamic is the original human language, the one spoken by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The one that was split into all other languages at the Tower of Babel by God to prevent human cooperation." She explained.

"If you believe in that sort of thing." You scoffed. Trevor slightly nodded in agreement at your words.

"Is that how you understand...that story?" Alucard questions.

"Oh, yes. The Speakers are the enemy of God." She stated a matter-of-factly. "We live in cooperation and hide our stories inside ourselves so he cannot strike them down in jealousy." You raised an eyebrow and glanced at the other two who seemed to be thinking the same thing as you.

Suddenly, you let out a fearful gasp when you felt a rumbling all around you, probably coming from the surface, and backed up close to Alucard. He wrapped an arm around your shoulder comfortingly. "See? God hates me." Sypha point upwards.

One after another there was more violent rumbling of the room around you. You began to get nervous, what if the ceiling caved in? Alucard tightened his grip around you, "That's probably not God." He glanced at Sypha.

You gave a curt nod at this, before leaving Alucards grasp and quickly jogged down the stairs, with the other three close behind.

"Can we get that magic mirror working?" Asks Trevor.

"I think so. But I can't do two things at once here." Sypha stressfully explains. Alucard had ran off but came back with the mirror, one step ahead.

"I know some Chaldaic. I know how to operate a distance mirror. Which shall I do?" He asked us, and then Sypha and him looked towards Trevor and I.

"I can't do either of those things." Trevor admitted.
