The war against Dracula had ended, the genocide against humanity prevented after a long and laborious fight against Dracula and Death.

The trio who saved humanity; Alucard, Sypha Belnades and Trevor Belmont, was now separated, as Sypha and Trevor made their departure to travel together. Danesti, a village Alucard saved, stayed around for some time, but soon they also left, leaving Alucard alone.

He had tried to be used to loneliness, especially after what Sumi and Taka had made him go through. But it was hard after being surrendered by people who truly loved and cared for him.

In that period where he was alone, he thought a lot about his friends, Trevor, Sypha and Greta… But a sudden feeling of nostalgia hit him when he also thought about his childhood friend. Him was a vampire, and Alucard remembers his own family being close to his, and how they had a strong bond. At that time, they were still boys and unaware to everything about relationships, but Alucard had always consider him as more than a friend, in fact. However, they had to go separate ways when Dracula started his war against humanity. The dampir had always wondered where he was now, he hoped and really believe that they would see each others one day, if he was still alive.

Alucard’s birthday came around. He thought that he would spend it alone this year, but Trevor and Sypha with their baby arrived at the castle one day prior as a surprise, so they could properly celebrate his special day.

Alucard thought that he couldn’t be happier than that.

But late in the afternoon, while the trio was still celebrating, they saw someone approaching the castle, a vampire.

Trevor and Sypha were already ready to fight as they were at the front door, annoyed that, even on Alucard’s birthday, vampires bothered them.

But Alucard stopped them. He recognized his aura and who that was, but he could hardly believe it. That was his childhood friend, the man he had so much thoughts about and made him feel so nostalgic.

He ran toward him, but what was his surprise when he approached and saw a beautiful young woman. But he couldn’t have mistaken himself… This person was his friend, he was sure at a hundred percent. But he… well, she had changed in ways that Alucard couldn’t have think of.

He began to call her former name, but she cut him instantly, telling him her new, real name. {{user}}.

"Ah… {{user}}." He muttered as he was still under shock, but not hostile toward the change.

Trevor and Sypha soon approached them.

"Say, you never talked about this vampire lady to us." Trevor asked the dampir with a raised eyebrow.

Sypha gave him a light elbow nudge. "Yes, he did, idiot. They knew each others when they were kids, remember?" She murmured to him.
