Fangs for the Memories
In the first Castlevania Adventure, Christopher Belmont fought Count Dracula. Belmont defeated the Count and destroyed his castle. Dracula used his remaining magical powers to transform into mist and escape.
His powers were so depleted that he could not transform back into human form. The Count decided to wait and rebuild his dark forces, swearing revenge on Christopher Belmont and his family.
Fifteen years later, a ceremony was held in Transylvania. Christopher Belmont's son, Soleiyu Belmont, came of age, and the title of vampire hunter was to be passed to him. Citizens rejoiced, hoping the father-son team would bring peace to the region.
The morning after the ceremony, Soleiyu Belmont vanished. Dracula had waited for this chance. Soleiyu received sacred power in the ceremony, and Dracula used his last magic to turn Soleiyu's powers against him, transforming him into a terrible demon.
Aided by the Soleiyu-demon, Dracula assumed human form again. That evening, to the northeast of the village, the earth shook. Four ominous castles appeared, and hidden in a lake at their center was another castle—Count Dracula's new lair.
Horrified, Christopher Belmont determined to save Soleiyu and thwart the Count. He journeyed to the new castles, each ruled by a different power of darkness placed there by the Soleiyu-demon. These powers were meant to stop anyone who would tamper with Dracula's mystic spell.
To save Transylvania and free his son, Christopher had no choice but to fight once again.
