Castlevania: Circle of the Moon / Camilla's Castle / Introduction
Background Music: Sign of Bloodlines It is 1830... at an old Austrian castle. From the worshippers of chaos, rise the plea for the return of the Lord of Darkness.
Camilla: We crave the presence of the embodiment of suffering, the ruler of darkness!
(Camilla raises her arms and a shaft of light from above strikes the coffin. The ground rumbles and the coffin bursts to reveal Dracula) Dracula: I have waited for this moment, to be awake again. To bask in the darkness and feel the moonlight within. Camilla: Count Dracula, I am honored to be in your presence. Dracula: Indeed. Though I lack my full power. Camilla: We are preparing the rite to replenish your power... Morris Baldwin: Stop!
(Morris Baldwin enters along with his two apprentices, Hugh Baldwin and Nathan Graves) Morris Baldwin: You cannot be allowed to taint the world! Dracula: You... I remember... you were one of the Vampire Killers that sealed me. ... you've aged. Morris Baldwin: It is our duty to see you banished. Dracula: Amusing. To use my nemesis' life power to return my power. I have no use for children. Be gone!
(Dracula lifts his arm, and a bat comes out of his cloak and breaks away the ground underneath Hugh and Nathan) Morris Baldwin: Hugh! Nathan! Nathan Graves: Master! Hugh Baldwin: Father!
(The two fall a long ways down to the Catacomb) Nathan Graves: Hmm... no creatures around here. Hugh, are you okay? Hugh Baldwin: Yeah. We were just brushed aside and ignored... Nathan Graves: We have to find Master. Hugh Baldwin: I'll go. He's my father. Nathan, you'll be in the way. Just get out of here.
(Hugh runs off) Nathan Graves: I want to find Master as much as anybody.
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon / Audience Room / Necromancer Battle
(Nathan enters the Necromancer's Lair, inside the Audience Room)
Necromancer: Extraordinary! To be dropped into the Abyss and still live. But your luck is about to run out. Nathan Graves: Get out of my way! Necromancer: Child, before I finish you, I will tell you some news. Your precious Master is already in our power. Nathan Graves: What!! Necromancer: That old man will feed us with his soul. The rite has been prepared and we only await the full moon. Nathan Graves: No!
(The battle begins) Video:
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon / Machine Tower / Argument in the Machine Tower
(Hugh enters the Machine Tower where Nathan is defeated Iron Golem)
Nathan Graves: Hugh! Are you alright? Hugh Baldwin: What are you doing here? Are you trying to take my glory? Nathan Graves: Wha? What are you talking about? I just want to save Master. Hugh Baldwin: You're in the way! I will defeat Dracula myself. And then... Nathan Graves: Hugh?
(Hugh runs away)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon / Chapel Tower / Chapel Tower
(Nathan opens a door, Hugh comes tumbling out)
Nathan Graves: Hugh! You okay? Hugh Baldwin: You! Back off. This is my trophy to claim!
(Hugh is weakened. He tries to get up, but falls again) Hugh Baldwin: Urgg! Nathan Graves: Hugh!!
(Nathan walks into the next room to battle the creature that Hugh lost against)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon / Chapel Tower / Chapel Tower
(Nathan defeats the monster and comes back out to talk to Hugh, who has gotten back up on his feet)
Hugh Baldwin: Damn! Who asked you for help! Nathan Graves: I couldn't just leave you, could I?
(Hugh points his finger straight at Nathan) Hugh Baldwin: Don't think that you defeated it. It was the power of that whip. Nathan Graves: Hugh... Hugh Baldwin: You could never beat me in training. Never once! But father named you the successor and gave you the Hunter Whip. Your parents and my father banished Dracula together and those fond memories clouded his judgement. Don't forget that!
(Hugh walks away in fury)
Nathan Graves: You, you were with Dracula in the hall. Camilla: I am Camilla. I beckoned Dracula forth again. Nathan Graves: Why do you want his return? To turn this world into a living hell? Camilla: But isn't this world hellish already? People are intrigued by darkness, and covet chaos and power. They are dirty self-centered mongrels. I simply wish the world to properly reflect this image. Nathan Graves: You are delusional! Camilla: If only you too would embrace the darkness in your soul, then a new world would unfold before you. Nathan Graves: Shut up! Camilla: The one who was with you... he was more honest with himself. Even MY MASTER approves of him. (giggle) Nathan Graves: What? What have you done to Hugh?
(The battle begins)
Camilla: You are too late. The rite has been prepared. Only the full moon is missing. It is just a matter of time, before the Master has his full power of Darkness. Your precious Master and friend will...
(Camilla screams and dies) Nathan Graves: Master! Hugh!
(Nathan walks into a room. Hugh is standing there, sword drawn)
Hugh Baldwin: Nathan, so you've finally arrived. Nathan Graves: Hugh?! You're okay? I thought that they...
(Hugh slashes his sword at Nathan - Nathan jumps back and avoid it) Nathan Graves: Hugh! What are you doing? Hugh Baldwin: I am superior to you! I will defeat you to prove myself to father. Nathan Graves: You are being controlled by... Camilla? No... by Dracula!
(The battle begins)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon / Observation Tower / Defeating Hugh
(After battle)
Nathan Graves: Stop Hugh! I don't want to hurt you. Hugh!! Hugh Baldwin: Nathan? (moan) I, I'm... I'm alright now. Nathan Graves: You are yourself again. Hugh Baldwin: Nathan, I am sorry. I was envious of you. Nathan Graves: ? Hugh Baldwin: When father named you the successor, I was afraid that I was worthless. I wanted... needed the recognition. Nathan Graves: Enough. Hugh Baldwin: That probably was the dark weakness that father saw... in my soul... why he chose you. Nathan Graves: Stop it Hugh. Hugh Baldwin: It's alright. Even I realize now that father was right in his decision. Don't make me embarass myself further. Allow me self-pity for now. Help father now. I am entrusting his return to you now. Nathan Graves: I accept.
(Nathan walks into the next room and gets the key to Dracula's chambers)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon / Ceremonial Room / Final Battle
(Nathan enters the Dracula's Throne Room)
Dracula: Hmmm... you have done well to come so far. Nathan Graves: Master! Dracula: Impeccable timing. The time for the rite is upon us. Your soul will become ours as well.
(Nathan approaches his master) Nathan Graves: Not if I can help it! Master! Are you alright?! Dracula: What an emotional display. But don't fool yourself. Even you must have darkness upon your soul. Nathan Graves: What! Dracula: To be superior. To be honored for your singular accomplishments. Nathan Graves: ! Dracula: ...to be loved by all... to get the glory even at the expense of others. That is what your friend craved. I just increased that desire, that power. Nathan Graves: You despicable blight! How dare you toy with his soul. I'll get you for that.
(The battle begins)
Dracula: Power... I need my full power!
(Dracula beams up to the moon) Nathan Graves: Huh?
(Hugh runs in and unties his father Morris, who is weak and falls into Hugh's arms) Morris Baldwin: Chase him! Don't let him escape! Urgg... Nathan Graves: !! Hugh Baldwin: I'll take care of father. You go after him! Nathan Graves: ... right. Get Master to safety.
(Hugh turns and starts to walk away with Morris, then turns back to say one last thing) Hugh Baldwin: Nathan, banish Dracula and then make sure you get out. Nathan Graves: I will.
(Nathan jumps into the beam of light and follows Dracula to the moon)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon / Ceremonial Room / Fall of Dracula
(Dracula is defeated by Nathan once again)
Dracula: It is a wasted effort. I will never be truly gone. So long as there is darkness and desire in the soul of man. I will continue to be revived. Nathan Graves: And we will be there to stop you. You can bet on that.
(Dracula disappears, the roof begins to fall. Nathan runs away)
Background Music: Circle of the Moon (Nathan, Hugh, and Morris are standing over a cliff at a sunset. The castle is in the background, and then it crumbles)
Nathan Graves: Master, are you well? Morris Baldwin: Nathan? Thank you. You did well... you have become a Hunter in your own right. Hugh. I need to thank you as well. But your training must begin anew. Hugh Baldwin: I know father. I will train like I was reborn to become worthy.
(Hugh walks over to Nathan) Hugh Baldwin: Hey Nathan. If you become soft, I'll take over for you. Nathan Graves: I look forward to the challenge, Hugh.
