Distress Call | [ video ]

[ Some time after the tower is overcome with violent quaking Alucard feels the need to send out a signal. With no concern as to who sees or hears him he broadcasts a short, blunt and cold message. It sounds more like a command than any distress call or cry for help. ]

Haldir and Sho. You will contact me the moment you receive this message.

I'm going up. The two of you, however, are not.

Until that time, do take care of yourself. As hardy as you might be, I...

[ Another sigh escapes him as he does his best to hide himself from view. ]

It would grieve me plenty if you were to perish here.

[ Alucard's expression said it all, there was the hint of a smile and a real fondness in his eyes. ]

Of course, I will be completely fine I'm sure. I will see you again soon, Haldir.

[ Finally getting a hold of himself, Haldir couldn't help but match Alucard's smile with a faint smirk. ]

You have no choice other than to return alive, friend. That is if you fancy the thought of me punishing you for failing later.

[ He's trying to sound bold here but it's quite difficult to do so when the ground beneath your feet is rumbling. ]

[ A brief chuckle, but he can feel the worry and tension between them, even through this strange electronic device ]

I would not like to punished, that's for sure. I suppose I had better try my best to come back to you then.

You are wiser than most men, Alucard. Very wise.

[ A chuckle escaped him but soon it was halted once a loud rumble caught Haldir's attention. ]

...I'm afraid we must part soon.

[ Sadness now mars his handsome face as he gazes at Alucard. ]

There is another like me, an elf named "Legolas". If you see him, be sure to keep him safe. The two of you should not wander this tower alone.

[ The name was familiar and after a moment's thought Alucard recognised it ]

Ah, I spoke with Legolas earlier, although I do not know what he looks like I will try to listen for his voice as I move up the tower.

I implore you to do so.

[ The young prince has a penchant for being reckless these days. That's not something that bodes well with Haldir. ]

I honestly believe that fool of an elfling will get himself killed if not watched properly.
