//They warned me about the castle.
Said it listens.
Said it remembers every soul that enters.
I went anyway.
The gates didn’t creak.
They sighed.
Like they knew my name.
Stone halls breathed with old hymns.
Candles shook without wind.
Every step echoed longer than it should.
The whip felt heavier here.
Not in my hands—
in my chest.
Monsters rose like regrets.
Familiar.
Patient.
They weren’t angry.
They were waiting.
I moved through rooms that mourned themselves.
Clocks without time.
Paintings that watched me age between steps.
There were moments I wanted to stop.
Not from fear.
From grief.
Because the castle isn’t just evil.
It’s loss stacked on loss,
singing through stone.
When Dracula finally spoke, it wasn’t rage.
It was sorrow sharpened into will.
Power dressed as mourning.
I answered with resolve.
Not hatred.
Not hope.
Duty.
When the last blow fell, the castle didn’t scream.
It exhaled.
Like something finally let go.
I stood there alone.
Rain finding the ruins behind me.
The whip slack at my side.
Because some battles aren’t won.
They’re endured.
And some victories don’t feel like light—
they feel like surviving the dark
without letting it live inside you.
