"Can we get that magic mirror working?" Trevor questioned as the blockade above was becoming more active.

"I think so. But I can't do two things at once here." Sypha replied holding her book while examining your cursed markings comparing the two.

"I know some Chaldaic. I know how to operate a distance mirror." Alucard announced moving relics out the way. "Which I shall do?"

While his gaze was brought onto both you and Sypha you could feel it mostly ghost over yourself. It felt like a reassurance. But that didn't help when the fact of the Hold could be breached at any given moment.

"I can't do either of those things," Trevor said defeatedly

'Can't argue with that' You thought

"Come on, Belmont. Time to choose. You're either the last son of a warrior dynasty or a lucky drunk. Which it?" Alucard hissed

The pounding above seemed to keep getting stronger much to your disliking. "Not to be bold. But we have a problem above!" You announced

"Okay. Get the mirror working, Alucard. Give me force number, spices, and weapons count. Sypha stays on her job for now. Y/N you create shadow puppets to aid me. I'll fortify the point of entry." Trevor ordered

Nodding your head in agreement before kneeling down placing your cursed hand onto the wooden floor.

"Amicorum opem auxiliumque manibus" You changed making several shadows morph into silhouettes of men and creatures.

"I think we're going to see the size and disposition of the attacking force fairly quickly with our own eyes," Alucard said judging from how unrelenting the beasts outside were trying on getting inside.

"I'm forced to agree. Do you have a further suggestion?" Trevor questioned

"Are you asking my advice?" Alucard questioned clearly unamused by Trevor's response.

Getting agitated by both men's row's you stomped your boot onto the ground having your shadow puppets move Trevor up to one of the bridges just as a sudden quake caused everything to fall off the ancient shelves.

"We need to quicken our pace," You said clenching and unclenching your non-cursed hand.

The feeling of another control could come again as you could feel your shoulders starting to become heavy. "Trevor will not be able to hold out much longer." You said watching as the Belmont fought hard alongside your puppets.

"I have to be able to see it," Sypha said as she peered over Alucard's shoulder watching Dracula's castle appear within the mirror.

"My blood is mixed with a demon. As well as Dracula's as that is the only possible way I could have felt his presence. If he can resonate with my blood then perhaps I can resonate with his." You said walking up to the mirror giving it a hard glance.

I cannot pull it which is what I'm relying on you for Sypha," You said before taking a deep breath interlocking and pressing your hands at the mirror creating a blood circle as the familiar sulfur fumes from the slain demon's flooded at your feet.

The blood and fire of Dracula's eyes could be felt peering into your soul but you refused to look "I shall not become your pawn. You will never take away my life!"

Anchoring both your feet on the ground as the demon blood seeped up through your clothes and over your arms.

"Y/N your arms are!" Sypha gasped seeing as new markings started to appear.

"You need to pull at it now Sypha!" You said having to bend a knee from falling. Letting out a loud scream as the demon's blood started to burn at your flesh.

"Y/N!" Sypha gasped watching as you fell back into her just as she managed to pull the Castle.

While your body burned you couldn't help smile "We can finally stop this bad dream."
