This blog is dedicated to a character from the game Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and its two prequels: the Media Factory manga and Prelude to Revenge.
Please indicate the time period to which the question relates.
From time to time, a white-haired vampire may make a guest appearance on this blog.
Post-CoD. Isaac survives, but is in a somewhat unstable mental state, so the responses can be harsh and caustic.
Isaac is ready to answer any questions.
What is your favorite memory?
Isaac: Of course, it's the memory of the night I came to Lord Dracula's castle and was allowed to stay here.
That was the beginning of my new life. That's when I found the meaning of my life.
Hmm, and perhaps the second most important memory is the creation of Abel. I defied God himself by creating life from formless matter. And despite all my previous failed attempts, I managed to take a step forward, becoming who I am today.
Isaac, did Abel really look like a goat before?
Isaac: Now, now, are you confusing Baphomet with a goat?
In the past, Abel was like Baphomet. It's a goat-like demon with wings. In fact, many Innocent Devils undergo a transformation when they gain power.
It's easier to create a small imp that will eventually become a huge, powerful demon than to create a demon all at once.
You know, that's the essence of alchemy. One matter undergoes a transformation and turns into a completely different matter.
Isaac hides a smile.
Isaac: Abel didn't look like Baphomet himself, but like a tiny Baphomet. A small, humanoid goat with wings. However, even in this form, he showed his true character.
Isaac, how would you celebrate your birthday?
Isaac: It's just another day. If no one reminds me, I won't even remember it's my birthday.
Lady Lisa remembers, of course, she makes a cake and gives me some kind of gift. Last time she gave me a shirt, heh.
Getting gifts on your birthday is weird. It feels like someone is actually happy that I was born. But it's just an illusion.
Okay, stop distracting me from my work with such stupid questions.
Isaac. I know nothing I say will ever make a change between us. But I must ask you about your side of things.
The guilt will eat me away if I did not know the whole truth.
Feeling Hector’s presence nearby, Isaac involuntarily clicked his tongue and ordered his «students» to pack their things and move to another shelter. They rarely stayed in one place for long, so they had long ago created a network of shelters where they could hide for a month or two.
Funny, Hector didn’t come to fight, he came to talk. Isaac pulled the hood of his cloak lower and snorted contemptuously.
Isaac: Oh, so the guilt is going to eat you up for the rest of your days? Then tell me, bastard, why should I answer your question?
Isaac, when Joachim turns into an animal or a bird, does his body remain cold?
Isaac: Um, yeah, his body is cold. Why would he suddenly be warm, like a living thing?
It's not the cold of the grave. More like a bird or beast that's been out in the winter wind for a long time. In snake form, he feels like… a snake, yeah.
And in other forms, he feels cool. It's actually nice, especially on hot summer days. The old man also has a nasty habit of trying to touch my bare skin with his cold, wet nose when he's in wolf form. Maybe he likes to fool around, or maybe he's drawn to warmth. I don't know, I don't ask him.
Isaac, did you have friends when you were a kid?
Isaac: You mean human friends, of course?
No, the kids avoided me, and I didn't really want to join in their games. I was more interested in learning witchcraft, finding medicinal plants, and interacting with birds and animals.
When Julia got a little older, I had to hang out with other kids because my little sister was drawn to socializing with her peers. Oh, and then she was always crying because she was being bullied, and I had to deal with those little bastards.
Isaac, have you ever used your clairvoyant powers in gambling?
Isaac snorted contemptuously.
Isaac: How do you picture it? Me sitting at a table where they play dice or cards, and looking into a crystal ball?
Besides, I don't see the point in wasting my energy on such nonsense. All this gambling doesn't bring me pleasure. However, if I ever have to take part in something like that, then of course I will come out the winner.
(probably before CV3) Isaac? Will you come join me in the study tonight? I am having difficulty with these old texts. I don't understand them, and I don't want father knowing I just decided to not read tonight...
Isaac bowed quickly, trying to hide his surprise. When was the last time the young Prince had asked him for help? Probably when they were children.
As an adult, Adrian avoided both him and Hector, preferring to spend his free time in the Library.
He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions. Oh, this Prince could have asked the old Librarian, or Hector, for help, but he turned to him.
Or were these texts of a certain content, so the Prince felt awkward addressing someone else?
Isaac: My Prince, if you need my help, then of course you can rely on me. Let me take a look at the texts you are trying to translate?
There are often spicy stories told about Joachim. What do you think about this?
Isaac: Oh, I can join in and tell you some juicy stories about him.
He’s an ancient vampire, so of course he’s had many affairs and lovers. But what’s the point in being jealous of those who have long since turned to dust?
Unlike Hector, Joachim is not a whore. All these stories are either fiction or related to his past.
By the way, there are many juicy stories about me too, haha. Humans and demons like to gossip, what can you do. Although I myself spread some rumors about myself.
Isaac, they say that the souls of sinners who go to Hell can go through torture and then become devils. Do you think you can become a devil?
Isaac looks a little surprised and interested.
Isaac: So if the soul can withstand all these hellish tortures, humiliations, pain and trials, then… Hah, you mean to say that devils are former sinners?
How funny! All these pompous priests scare people with Hell, but a true sinner, on the contrary, will strive there if he understands that he has the opportunity to gain strength and power.
Well, I’m not afraid of torture and pain… Although, obviously, hellish tortures are different from those that people can come up with. But if I know that in this way I can get rid of my weak human essence, and be reborn as a devil, then I don’t care.
Modern AU
She's gonna hug him. He cannot escape it. "I'm not leaving anytime soon. I still wish to help you. Hector or NOT, you were still starved of legitimate care."
Isaac: Woman, buy yourself a big hug pillow.
He pulls away and brushes his clothes off.
Isaac: I’m not a helpless child, I don’t need anyone’s care. And if I theoretically want to hug someone, I have Goliath for that. Hmm, I wonder if a spray bottle of cold water works on holy cats?
!Modern AU
"Do you...ever think you can move on? Even with everyone's help? Even with mine....?"
Isaac: Holy Cat, I’m not Hector.
I’m not going to climb up to the roof of the nearest skyscraper and jump off because I’m lost in my thoughts about the meaning of existence and all that bullshit.
I’m alive. I have a home. I have a purpose in life.
And a couple of kids to take care of because Soma is a walking disaster…
My advice to you, Holy Cat, is to get on with your life. I’ll figure out my life somehow.
Just curious, how many languages can you speak, and which ones? - a cloaked stranger
Isaac: Um, sure, I know Latin, Greek, and Aramaic. Every alchemist and sorcerer should know those languages.
I also speak Wallachian and Common East Slavic. And I know the Tuscan dialect.
I’m also studying Gothic script. You know, Lord Dracula has a particular passion for runic inscriptions.
"Isaac..."
"You were always strong."
Isaac: At least I didn’t try to kill myself. And I never acted like a little snotty girl, haha!
Wipe your snot already, Hector.
"You seem to be having Belmont issues, Isaac." The Tiger raises a brow, sneezing while tossing a freshly sharpened dagger to him in a sheath. "Sorry....allergic to some peoples' bullshit."
Isaac raises the dagger and smirks.
Isaac: Holy Cat, I thought you were fighting «evil» and you decided to support the real villain?
No, I don’t have a problem with Belmont, Belmont has a problem with me. But if he gets too annoying, I’ll give him a few more deep and beautiful scars to remind him of me.
Modern!AU Isaac, what do you think about the fact that many people turn to witches, sorcerers, and fortune-tellers for help?
Isaac: Hah, you think people didn’t run to the local witch for help before?
And the gypsies… The common people avoided them, despised them, but always wanted to know their fate from the old gypsy fortune-teller.
In fact, there are almost no real fortune-tellers left now.
Oh yeah, those people who call themselves witches, sorcerers, shamans, and psychics are mostly swindlers.
They take advantage of the gullibility of all sorts of fools and make money on it. Just look at the attributes that all these «witches» use. They themselves do not understand what forces they are calling upon.
Some fools deceive other fools.
