Consider that The Forgotten One was from another dimension. After Gabriel stole his powers, what do you think ever became of this dimension? I have a theory.

What if the vampire blood that runs through Gabriel actually used his memories of the Castle to fill this empty dimension with the Castle itself (and all the demons who happened to occupy it).

This may even help further explain the Dracula/Castle resurrection cycle in a way. Consider that after the events of Mirror of Fate, the Castle, for the first time in it's dark history, collapsed in on itself after it's Lord was defeated. We have no historical documenation of it ever collapsing before. It didn't fall when the Bernhard rule came to and end and we know that it didn't collpase after the Vampire Lord Carmilla died, so that must mean that Dracula's connection to the castle was unique. But why is that the case? I believe it has to do with the power he inherited from the Forgotten One.

The Vampire blood that has been passed along through the ages to various people now inhabits someone of truly immense power...someone who has access to another dimension. That blood, through Gabriel, runs through the castle. We know this because we see many times Gabriel offer his blood to the castle in order to traverse it. They are essentially bound to each other. It appears that on an subconsious level this gave the Castle access to that realm via Dracula's powerful mind and his vampiric blood. Everything inside the castle that is connected to his blood would have 'defaulted' to this dimension each time after Dracula is temporarily "put down". The castle and everything falls in on itself, vanishes to this dimension. After Dracula revives, so does the castle and it's inhabitants.

The reason why the castle never ressurected in the modern city is because Dracula was never vanquished, rather, put into a deep slumber. We hear in game, each time Dracula ventures back and forth between realms, "We cannot exist without you..."

Thoughts?
