==Plot==
===Dracula's Castle, 1476===
Godbrand lays dreaming of a time he hunted humans in the snow, killing them ruthlessly with his blade. Calling for blood and beer, Godbrand is disappointed when a servant produces a pig. Godbrand starts to agree with Carmilla that something needs to be done about Dracula.
===Belmont Estate===
Trevor uncovers a magic mirror that allows for remote viewing. Alucard examines it since some mirrors allow matter transportation as well, but determines that the mirror is not one of them, but could be made to work with some repairs to the runes. Trevor and Alucard continue to spar verbally and Sypha tells him that he should not rise to the bait. She asks him why his name is Trevor; Trevor recounts that a Celt rode with Leon Belmont who was named "Trefor". Sypha likes the name and teases Trevor that his name is "Treffy" from now on.
===Dracula's Castle=== 
Carmilla continues to try and recruit Hector to her side, pointing out that Dracula appears to be loosing his sanity. She asks Hector why Dracula did not turn Lisa into a vampire and likens their relationship to little more than a master and a favored pet. Carmilla wants to unseat Dracula and bring the castle to Braila where her forces would take the castle when Dracula's army sacked the town. Hector mentions that her forces might not be enough, leading to Carmilla to imply that Hector should create forces for her using his skills.
===Isaac's home, 1475===
Dracula visits Isaac in his isolated home to recruit him to create an army. Isaac recounts how they met to prove his friendship with Dracula, how the vampire saved him from being hunted and killed by those wishing to sell his body parts to other magicians. Dracula wants him to create an army for war on the humans, but Isaac sees it for what it is. Dracula admits it is an extermination of the humans, and Isaac pledges his loyalty.
===Castle Dracula, 1476===
Godbrand leads several of Dracula's generals on a raid to a nearby human village to feed. Riding demonic horses, they set out to slaughter the village.
Dracula goes to see Isaac and confides in him that he feels that the war council is turning against him and that even Hector is showing signs of not being fully supportive of his plans. Discussing Hector, Dracula admits to Isaac that he misled him about his plan for the humans, allowing Hector to believe that there would be a cull and control. Dracula asks if Isaac is still his friend and admits that he might be the only one he has.
Godbrand leads the generals in a slaughter of the humans in the village, ruthlessly killing them and feeding on their blood.
===Belmont Estate===
Trevor offers room under his blanket for a tired and lonely Sypha while Alucard explores the library. Sypha compares Alucard's sadness to Trevor's, and Trevor is surprised that she thinks he is sad. However, Sypha tells him that Trevor lets his true self through on occasion, while Alucard is more like an icy well of sadness. As they talk, Sypha falls asleep on his shoulder.
===Dracula's Castle===
Returning from the slaughter of the village, Godbrand approaches Isaac to talk about Dracula. Telling him that Carmilla is talking sense, he points out that Dracula does not heed the advice of his generals and there is no actual battle plan. Godbrand is also angry that they were not told that Alucard slept under Gresit. The vampire suggests taking control of the war away from Dracula. Isaac kills Godbrand for his treachery and thanks him for showing him that corruption has taken root in Dracula's court.

==Quotes==
:Sypha: It was a magic mirror.Alucard: Also known as Distance Mirrors. Some of them even allowed matter to pass through them, but...
[He lets out a sigh.]
:Alucard: No. No, this is a simple remote-viewing mirror. A little of the activating language is chipped. A few of the runes need re-cutting but workable. You have a fascinating family junkyard, Belmont.
[Trevor points his top finger at him.]
:Trevor: You're a ***, Alucard.
[A fed-up Sypha tugs on Trevor's arm and drags him to the side.]
:Sypha: Stop it.
[She pulls him to a vertical end to the bookshelf.]
:Sypha: You are an adult. You do not have to rise to his every barb.Trevor: He's *** me off like it's his job, Sypha.Sypha: Grow up, Trevor.
[Her eyes widen briefly before she leans next to him on the shelf.]
:Sypha: Why is your name Trevor, anyway?Trevor: I'm sorry?Sypha: I understand the Belmont now, but Trevor doesn't sound very local either.Trevor: Oh, well... So, the story goes, a Celt rode out here with Leon back in the day and his name was Trefor, with an F.
[Sypha moves closer and teasingly points her finger at him.]
:Sypha: Trefor. I like that.Trevor: Oh, it's terrible.
[Sypha taps her finger near her cheek.]
:Sypha: Treff.
[She smiles at him.]
:Sypha: Treffy?Trevor: Oh, my god, no.Sypha: You are Treffy now.
[Trevor taps his fingers on the side of his forehead with an embarrassed smile on his face.]
:Trevor: Don't-
[Sypha bursts out laughing. Shortly afterwards, Trevor joins in as well while Alucard looks at them from behind while examining the broken mirror.]
[Godbrand enters Isaac's lab, where he finds the Forgemaster disciplining himself]
Godbrand: "I wish you would stop doing that. It's sick"
Isaac: "The body is sick. It must be purged. It must be focused. This is holy work."
Godbrand: "How did Dracula draft you into his service, I wonder?"
Isaac: "I make purity from human corruption. Human corruption is a stain on the world. It was a simple choice."
Godbrand: "Well, talking about choices… Carmilla is making a lot of sense to me."
Isaac: "In what way?"
Godbrand: There's no plan. Dracula doesn't act on our recommendations, he barely listens to you and Hector. We're just thrashing around the country randomly."
Isaac: "There is an intent. We don't need strict battle plans. We simply follow his intent."
Godbrand: "We didn't need to hit Gresit right away, you know? We should have been made aware that Alucard was under the bloody city."
Isaac: "Alucard is nothing. A spoiled child."
Godbrand: "Alucard knows almost as much as Dracula himself, and is almost as strong. And, it turns out, violently opposed to the war because his human mother wouldn't have wanted it or some ***. I'm saying it may be time for the old man to sit in his study and let the rest of us take care of this for him. Do it right. Set up livestock pens and pursue the war properly. Without him."
Isaac: "You would betray Dracula?"
Godbrand: "It's not betrayal. Unless the old man decides to be difficult about it."
[Godbrand stand up and walk away]
Isaac: "I see."
[As Godbrand continue to walk away. Isaac wrapped spiked belt around his neck, begins to whip the Viking vampire in a bloody pulp until Godbrand fell to his knees. Isaac then thrust his hand into the vampire's wounded neck, which caused blood to splatter over his face.]
Isaac: "Thank you for revealing to me how the corruption of the world had made its way into Dracula's court. Thank you for showing me the truth."
[Godbrand then clawed Isaac's back. The forgemaster while having no reaction to the pain, plunge his dagger into the vampire's heart which cause Godbrand's whole body to combust into flames as he scream loudly while his flesh and blood are consumed by the fire. Leaving nothing but ashes left]
