My grandfather Arystar Krory The First, was a very eccentric man.
All the odds and ends that litter this castle are things he collected during his life.
His rare stand most prized posessions were his prehistoric flora.
Something in the castle's soil made them grow very healthy and very large.
Every time someone came to visit the castle the enormous plants would attack them.
Eventually the villagers declared us to be vampires.
Arystar, I want you to tend to these flowers after I am gone.
You will be much better off staying here your whole life than in the outside world.
My grandfather died, and I was left alone with the clutter of his collections.
The villagers feared me, as a vampire and no matter how hard I thought
I could think of no way to escape the confines of my estate. I did not have the courage.
Day after day, I tended to my grandfather's collections.
Then one day, I realized that I myself was like one of my grandfather's collections.
Everything here belonged to him.
Not a single solitary item was mine.
No one in this whole world would accept me.
No one would love me.
Eliade would, though.
Eliade accepted me into her heart, and I loved her for it.
[The Vampire I Loved]
Those priests are probably killing Krory even as we speak!
I saw this huge pillar of flames just a moment ago
What was that? What do you think, Mr. Mayor?
Let's ask the priest who stayed behind at the inn.
Say, Mr. Priest?
Huh?
Mr. Priest, where did you go?
Oh crap!
We'll never be able to help Kro now!
We've got to get out!
Grow. Grow-
No!
Lavi!
Ahhh, I'm being eaten! Help me!
Lavi, calm down and do exactly as I say.
You some kinda idiot?
I-If I calm down, I'll be ripped to shreds!
I told you before, I've taken care of flowers just like these, when I was with my master.
Really?
Then you can stop this thing?!
Yes!
The flowers don't attack those who are kind to them.
Try and think kind, happy thoughts about it.
Kind and happy?!
Tell them you love them!
Fine!
I love you!
You're smart.
You were right to gain some distance from me.
These balls are my power.
Power?
Can you with stand them?
The flowers are dying!
I've got plenty more where those came from!
Damn it!
Is that water?
I see...
These bubbles suck the water from whatever lies within, leaving it dry and empty.
That's right. That's my power.
No living thing can approach me when I have these bubbles defending me.
How stupid.
Eliade, the punishment for hurting my grandfather's flowers is harsh indeed.
Ooh, I'm so scared.
You don't really care for these flowers at all, do you?
You talk about your grandfather like he's some kind of saint
but it's his fault that you can never leave this castle!
You deserve no better than to sit and rot in this damned mansion!
Yes.
If only you had stayed with me, I would not have minded spending my life in such a manner.
Eliade...
Though you may be an Akuma, I still love you.
Still... I can't stand seeing you so ugly.
I'll destroy you, body and soul!
Never! If you think you can kill me, just go ahead and try!
I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!
I love you! I love you! I love you!
At last!
I love you! I love you! I love you!
What's that?
Kro?
Kro!
Don't let them touch you!
Damn it! We've gotta help him!
Goodbye, Arystar.
Arystar...
I...
had something I wanted from you...
I suppose I can't possibly have it any more, can I?
So you can still move...
I love you! I love you! I love you!
He's drinking her blood!
I knew these fangs would destroy me.
There were always so many men who asked for my hand, calling me beautiful.
There was just one thing I wanted.
It was the only way that I could become as beautiful as a real woman.
Whenever they felt that way, they were so much more beautiful than I.
However...
No matter how I wished to, it could never be.
After all, I was an Akuma.
I killed all the men who came near me.
I needed a man who could not kill me.
I wanted to love, and so I needed a man who could love me,
someone my blood would not kill.
The one person who fit that profile though, could kill me, instead.
You know, I...
I wanted to love you...
Arystar...
I...
wanted you to love me...
Eliade...
Eek!
Huh, rain?
Aren't we indoors?
Mr. Krory?
I want to die...
I killed the one I loved.
I held her in my arms as I took her life...
Took her life...
What a monster I am.
I drank her blood, and my body's health was returned.
I killed Eliade to preserve my own life.
Its no use living on as such a monster.
If you're really in such pain,
then join the exorcists!
Our job is to destroy the Akuma.
Today, you destroyed the Akuma that called itself Eliade.
If you continue to destroy them, it will become your new calling in life.
As long as you have a reason to live you should be able to keep going.
You're host to an Innocence fragment, just as we are.
Yes, this man did indeed come here.
He said he was an old friend of my grandfather's come to return something he'd borrowed.
Something he borrowed?
Yes, this.
Th-This is Rosanne's pot!
Do you remember it?
Yes, quite well...
What was in there?
A baby plant.
I knew it!
Allen at Twelve Years
Allen.
If you do anything to Rosanne, you'll get a hundred times worse.
Right!
Don't worry, he's just remembering his troubled past.
Anyhow, that's what he returned to you?
Yes.
There was something odd about it,though.
It tried to bite me, then dried up
I-I can't breathe!
Was that plant poisoned?!
Mahteef!
Now that I think of it, that flower may have been this Innocence of which you speak.
I'm sure it was.
I wonder why there was a fragment in that plant, though.
Well Marshall Cross said he'd come to return it,
so there must have been some Innocence here in the first place.
After I grew those fangs, I started to thirst for blood, and met Eliade.
We're looking for the man who gave you this.
Do you know anything about him, Kro?
Well, he asked me to lend him some money, seeing as how he was my grandfather's friend...
Up to his old tricks?
Krory...
No, I'm all right.
I have a favour to ask.
Will you wait for me outside the castle grounds?
I will prepare for my journey.
We will.
It's gonna be morning soon.
That was quite a night!
I guess the only clue we received about my master's where abouts was that he came here.
Why did we even bother coming here?
Well we got Krory to join up with us, so it wasn't a total waste.
Yes...
Stop acting like you robbed a bank or something.
He might not be in very good shape right now,
but Krory needs a reason to keep living, like you said.
He'll get over it soon enough.
Yeah...
Wise words.
Bookman!
W-When'd you get here, old fart?!
Just now.
Not to worry, you didn't need to come all this way.
We took care of everything.
That hurt, damn it!
Took care of it?!
You're like a bull in a china shop!
Why'd you have to blow a hole in the damn castle?!
It was a matter of life and death!
At least hear me out before getting all violent, panda-man!
I'll be as violent as I like! You're a raging incompetent, greenhorn!
So are you!
No I'm not!
Where were you all this time, anyway?!
The castle...
No!
Mr. Krory!
Why the long faces?
Did you think I was dead?
I'm fine.
I will be an exorcist from now on.
Right!
Eliade, I will continue to fight the Akuma.
I must, so that your death will not be in vain.
Torimodosu yo kono ryoute de
I can see the light of tomorrow,
boku ni wa mieru ashita no hikari ga
and I will take it back with my own hands.
So proud so proud.
Hitori asobi ni akiteru mitai
You seem to get tired of playing alone.
Kokoro no koe wa todoiteiru kai
Will the voice of my heart reach you?
Kikoeru mono sore ga kotae
Whatever you will hear, that will be my answer.
Rikutsu janai kono omoi ga
This feeling isn't logical,
tashika na hitotsu no pride
it surely comes from my pride.
Mukashi ni mita eiga mitai
I know how I will be in the future,
boku ni wa mieru ashita no jibun ga
it will be like that movie we saw a long time ago.
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara hashitteru
I want to be stronger and stronger so I run.
Ushinatta mono umeyou toshite
To bury what we lost,
hazushite shimatta pride
I threw away my pride.
Torimodosu yo kono ryoute de
I can see the pride of tomorrow,
boku ni wa mieru ashita no pride
and I will take it back with my own hands.
