Description
I was sitting on this idea for a little while too so why not draw it out? I also felt like doing more imitation manga tone stuff. This is basically the part where Simon Belmont is visited by a beautiful maiden telling Simon about the curse right before Castlevania 2 begins. For more context, here's the exact wording from the instructions:
THE SECOND COMING OF COUNT DRACULA
You're Simon Belmont, bravest of the brave, boldest of the bold, a gothic warrior respected by kings.
You earned your praise, not by crushing Viking invaders or Turkish hordes, but by destroying the evil Count Dracula in a duel to the death at Castlevania. But your victory proved painful, as the wounds inflicted during the duel slowly gnawed at your soul.
One day, though, a beautiful maiden appeared. With a soft voice she warned that you were possessed by the Count's curse. She said your only hope of destroying the curse and healing your scars was to find the five body parts of Count Dracula and burn them in his Castle, ending forever the reign of the Prince of Darkness.
Suddenly, like most beautiful visions, she began to fade. And as you reached to touch her, she spoke her final words--
"Fear not, brave Simon, for if you have the courage to risk your life, you will find the strength to win again.

Translation in artwork:
Maiden: "Do not be scared Simon!"
Dracula II: The Curse of the Seal

Simon Belmont is property of Konami... Sigh....
