Armand estate ruins 1799
Sonia got out of the carriage just as a vision hit:
Armand estate 1476 – what should have been
Bernhard Armand strode through the door(trying to hold all of his packages) as his son Gabriel rolled his eyes: plus, père? vraiment? Sonia va être un gâté brat à ce rythme. Bernhard waved his son away: Oui, oui. maintenant shoo! allez être avec Anna.
The day of Sonia’s birth
here she is, Lady Armand. As healthy as can be. Baby sonia made happy baby noises.
Armand estate ruins – present
The vision receded and sonia let out a groan of agony: why this?! WHAT IS GOING ON?! Sonia quickly forced herself on.
Armand estate ruins – entrance to the Hold
Sonia found the entrance blocked by an immoveable stone. another vision hit.
Armand estate Hold 1094
YOU ARE BERHARD ARMAND NO LONGER! I NAME YOU...SHAFT, THE DARK PRIEST! After the smoke vanished, Bernhard still stood there but there was malice behind his eyes. He shut the Hold with a single sentence: Tu es mon Dieu (entre tes mains)
Again the vision receded. Sonia repeated shaft’s words and the Hold opened.
Armand estate Hold 1799
Sonia made her way down the steps and lit the torches with a snap of her fingers. Inside, she moved from shelf to shelf finding various things: jewels, crystals herbs astrology charts books on the dark arts(just like back at the castle) what she felt drawn to most though was shaft’s diary. And a box. Taking both she hurried out of the Hold, replaced the stone, and took off in the form of a bat to go back home(to castlevania).
