Chapter 30 - The King and The Fool

Schaffe and Jonathan make it to a huge abandoned castle in Romania in the middle of the night. Schaffe looks at the place.

  "I guess welcome home," said Schaffe.

  "This place is never my home not since mother died," said Jonathan.

  "I see," said Schaffe.

  "We all changed since she died," said Jonathan. He sees a nearby broken glass that shows the reflection of his face and his eyes.

  "Are you regretting your decisions?" asked Schaffe. 

  "I never regrated it. It was ten years ago when I watched from a rooftop as they burned her alive. As I watched in horror, I only thought what if Alucard, Victoria or even my father would suffer and after that I only saw rage and destruction as I killed everyone in that village," said Jonathan. "I know I will live my whole existence knowing what I have done."

  "It true you can't be forgiven for what you have done and some would probably hunt you down for what you have done to those innocents," said Schaffe. "But I understand why you did it, to protect your younger siblings and even your father."

  "He truly has become a monster. He wished to end all of humanity," said Jonathan.

  "Then it up to us to end this madness," said Schaffe.

  "Yes, it is," said Jonathan. They enter the castle and head for the throne room.

 

  They enter the throne room where they walk to the throne. They see a man, He has long black hair, he has light-colored skin almost pale with a black goatee. He had the same eyes as Jonathan. He wore a black suit with a white jabot shirt under it. He also had a black cape on that had a dark red under. This was Vlad Dracul, The Vampire King.

  "Father," said Jonathan.

  "Jonathan, to think you would return. But I never thought you would betray me," said Vlad.

  "I only betrayed you when you made hunt my brother and sister," said Jonathan.

  "They betrayed me as you and then you allied with this human," said Vlad.

  "It over your tranny ends here," said Jonathan. "It's time we finished this," Vlad gets up and picks up the strange statue. He had the true final statue.

  "Then come finish me, son," said Vlad. He raises the statue in his right hand and a flash comes from it. Vlad morphs into a giant ugly creature. He looked like a giant blob.

  "This the monster you have become," said Jonathan drawing his blade in his left hand.

  "Let's finish this," said Schaffe drawing a sword with his right. Vlad lets us out a huge roar as he starts to stomp around.

  "Father, do you know why the king fears the fool?" asked Jonathan.

  "The king afraid?" questioned Vlad as he was starting to lose his sanity.

  "It's because he's unpredictable," said Jonathan as he lunged at Vlad. Schaffe launches fireballs at Vlad to make him go after him instead of Jonathan. Vlad stomps over to Schaffe and kicks him to the wall with his right foot. Jonathan jumps up on him behind and goes up and cuts off his right arm which was holding the statue which makes him berserk more. Jonathan jumps down and starts using his power to start draining the energy from him. Schaffe would get up and start to chant something for a finishing spell. Jonathan lets go when Schaffe releases a huge lighting spell which strikes down Vlad who starts to morph back with some of his limbs starting to melt off due to the statue being too much by itself. Vlad was but a husk on the grounds. Schaffe Picks the true final statue.

  "Jonathan is it over?" asked Vlad.

  "Yes, father," said Jonathan.

  "Ah, finally I am free of that statue. I must thank you it made me do evil things," said Vlad.

  "What?" asked Schaffe.

  "There was a man. he was the one who gave me it and turned me into a monster," said Vlad.

  "Who is this man?" asked Jonathan.

  "I don't remember who, but he the one who gave that thing," said Vlad. "Please, Jonathan, watch over your brother and sister…," He melts down into goo passing away.

 

  Before they got back home it was almost dawn and they float above in the airship over a volcano in Italy Schaffe takes his hat off over the side of the shit and all the strange statues fall out into the volcano in the lava so they might never be used again.

  "It's over," said Jonathan.

  "Your father can rest in peace now," said Schaffe. "Let us return." They flew back to London.

 

  A week passed and Jonathan with a leather bag over his back was outside leaving the manor. 

  "Where are you off to?" asked Schaffe, who sees him leaving.

  "My work here is finished here," said Jonathan.

  "What about Alucard and Victoria?" asked Schaffe.

  "They would be fine as long as they stay with you," said Jonathan. "I just want to travel around and think what I must do next."

  "Here," said Schaffe. He tosses something at Jonathan with his right hand. Jonathan catches it with his left and he looks and sees it The Frye Demon Hunting Amulet.

  "What this for?" asked Jonathan.

  "My Family Amulet, it serves as my protection for you, it even can help with expenses," said Schaffe.

  "Alright," said Jonathan. "Take good care of them."

  "I will on my honor as noble," said Schaffe. Jonathan would leave and go and travel the world. Schaffe would return to live his life in London.
