"TRAITOR!"
I roared out as I saw Hector about to shake hands with Camila. I charge forward, spear in hand, and my monsters following behind me.
I aim my first jab at Camila, but Hector pulls her out of the way. She then proceeds to right hook me......hard
I fly through the control room doors and land on the floor in a daze. I could hear my Squadron attempting to fight Camila, as well as them roaring in pain before they hit the ground with a loud thud. I get back up, albeit shakily, and look over to where the fight had taken place, it was over before it started, my minotaur had it's throat slashed and was bleeding out on the floor, my goblins head was on backwards, and my demon was currently being choked out, raised off the ground with its arms ripped out by Camila.
She was distracted...
I shake away the dizziness and pick my spear back up, she was to focused on my demon, she didn't even see me get up.
I charge my spear with a simple Fire imbuement spell and lunge for Camila.

Time felt like it stopped.

*I was running towards her I think*

I feel....cold

*I was about to stab her through the heart*
I could feel a warm liquid coming from my chest
*My spear tip is so close to her*
I can't move
*Why can't I move?!*
I start coughing a bit. It then escalated from small coughs to large violent coughs that caused me to spew my own blood from my mouth
*.....Why can't I feel my heart beating?*
I look down to see a very large knife in my chest, there was a hand still connected to it.
I follow the limb to my murderers body, and then from his body to his face.
I look to see Hector, a look of horror plastered on his face, tears slowly trickling down his face.
"H-Hect-tor?" I sputter out, my lungs and mouth full of blood. My spear clatters to the ground, and I feel my knees buckle and my body hit the floor, everything felt so cold. I couldn't see much, but I did see Camila smirk before calling Hector.
"Come Hector"she said.
He didn't move, he couldn't move. He stared at me in fear and regret. His lack of response annoyed Camila.
"Hector, it's not safe here, we need to go"
He still didn't respond, this angered her
"Hector!" He jumped a bit at that
"We have to go now!" She said in a raised tone, he nodded. He looked to me with a sad expression and muttered a quick "I'm sorry", then ran off with Camila.

I Laid on the floor, clutching the handle to the knife in my chest. I was scared...
I didn't want to die this way, I didn't want to die as a human.
I was laying on my side so I wouldn't drown in my own blood, Laying there, wondering how this happened. It was true that non of the forgemasters trusted each other fully, but recently, it felt like we had been getting closer, all three of us.
They were like brothers to me, I had opened myself up to a human I thought I could trust, and that led to a knife plunged into my own heart.
I was a fucking fool thinking I could trust again, and now, I'm going to die, like a fucking human.
"F-fu-ck. M-m-me-ee" I sputter out.
I Layed there on the floor for what felt like hours. I kept applying some of my magic to where the knife had entered my body, I was gasping while gulping down air, applying pressure to my wound,
I kept chanting in my head that *I wasn't going to die like this*. I was starting to hope that I would survive until......
...The control room, caught fire...
I couldn't move
*I have to get out of here!*
I couldn't move
*The fires getting bigger, I need to move now!*
The mechanism that steered the castle started shaking and sputtering violently, blue magical energy crackled and danced off of the mechanism, then the surrounding machinery, and finally the walls.
*What's happening?*
The engine control room then exploded
____________________________________________________
Vlad Dracula Tepes had been walking alongside Isaac and a mixed squadron of night creatures and high vampiric guards following behind them.
They thankfully got the upper hand in the battle and left in confidence to search thw castle for Camila and his two missing forgemasters. He stopped when he felt a pulse of magic coming from the control room above, which was followed by the castle shaking violently, causing everyone except Dracula to lose there balance. Everyone looked around wildly, confused as to what was going on, bit Dracula though....
He stared up at the roof with a piercing gaze, and then his eyes widened in fear for only a moment until he returned to his usual cold stoic expression.
"Isaac" Dracula said, the aforementioned forgemaster humming in response.
"Abrem said that he went to desist a siege on the control room, correct?"
The forgemaster nodded
"Then let us-"
He wasn't able to finish his sentence as an explosion came from the control room, shaking the castle harder.
The castle began teleporting in and out of Braila until finally, the castle disappeared.

........................................................................................

After only a short moment, the castle landed above the Belmont hold. It would never move again.

Dracula looked out into the night to see where he was and let out a slight scowl.
"Belmont...." He whispered before closing his eyes and turning from the window.
"We must get to the control room" he spoke to the group, and they pushed forward.
_____________________________________________________........................................................................................
It burns.....
Everything burns.....
After the explosion, I had been launched out of the control room and had landed by my dead minotaur. Every part of me felt like it was on fire, but I couldn't scream. All I could do was breath shakily, keep applying my magic to my wound, even if it couldn't do close to jack shit to keep me alive.
I could feel my eyelids growing heavier and heavier.
My body growing colder and colder. The corners of my eyes were starting to go dark.
I was dieing...
I couldn't move, I couldn't feel, I can barely hear the sound of the flames that had once been roaring in my ears. It was a miracle that I was still even alive.

I felt small vibrations through the floor, I could tell that someone...no wait, a group of people were running up to me, I didn't have the strength to turn my head to see who.
I felt strong, but gentle arms wrap around me and lift me up from the ground. A strong hang with sharp nails moved my face to meet it's owner.
It was Dracula.
He didn't look all that upset, like how Hector was, he only seemed.... saddened.
I thought I heard him say my name, but I could barely hear him at all. He said something else, but I couldn't hear him.
He spoke louder the second time.
"Who did this!?" He asked with a bit of anger in his voice.
I could barely answer, I used every bit of strength I could so I could respond.
"C-cam-m-mila.... H-Hect-tor" I sputter out. In a barely audible voice, Dracula heard me thankfully, sparing me the pain of repetition.
My eyes are growing darker, I can barely see now. Using the last of my strength, I grasp Dracula's cloak and speak to him
"D-don't...let..m-me...die...h-h-hu-m-man"
Then my vision turns black.
