"I am." It was a painful admission to make, but it was the only thing he could say. "I'm the current host of Dracula's power to rule demons. His soul, what there is left of it, resides within me."

Soma looked up at the ceiling for a moment, considering just how much he should say, how much he was willing to tell an angel of the battle he had fought. Finally he made his decision, lowering his head once more.

"A few months ago, a friend and I were transported to a castle that had been sealed inside a solar eclipse. When we arrived, Dracula's power woke within me, and I was told to seek the throne room to confront destiny. There were many battles along the way, with demons and monsters straight out of nightmares. As I fought them, I became stronger. I absorbed their souls to gain dominance over their powers."
