Castlevania II - Simon's Quest: Title and Prologue (Introduction)
This prologue is a bit of a letdown. Here is what it says:
|
Step into the shadows of the hell house. You've arrived back here at Transylvania on business : to destroy forever the curse of the evil count, Dracula. |
The manual is a bit more generous (but it still exaggerates a bit...):
|
The second coming of Count Dracula You're Simon Belmont, bravest of the brave, boldest of the bold, a gothic warrior respected by kings. You earned your praise, not by crushing Viking invaders or Turkish hordes, but by destroying the evil Count Dracula in a duel to the death at Castlevania. But your victory proved painful, as the wounds inflicted during the duel slowly gnawed at your soul. One day, though, a beautiful maiden appeared. With a soft voice she warned that you were possessed by the Count's curse. She said your only hope of destroying the curse and healing your scars was to find the five body parts of Count Dracula and burn them all in his Castle, ending forever the reign of the Prince of Darkness. Suddenly, like most beautiful visions, she began to fade. And as you reached to touch her, she spoke her final words: "Fear not, brave Simon, for if you have the courage to risk your life, you will find the strength to win again." |
In short:
Simon Belmont, the hero of the first Castlevania, was wounded during the battle against Dracula in 1691. He has only a few days left to live and his only hope is to resurrect Dracula and defeat him again before the 8th day. He hopes to break the curse this way. He will therefore have to travel the world in search of his enemy's body parts and then return to Castlevania to end it for good.
Will Simon succeed in defeating evil once again? Will he be fast enough? Everything rests on your shoulders. Go check out the first part of the walkthrough. You don't know it yet, but you only have 7 and a half days.
