A few buildings East... Top floor. This must be the place.
Hamon stands at the base of a complex taller than most other buildings in the area, the only one of its kind suited for residence. He begins running up the stairs, his boots and tunic fading away to be replaced with the feeling of a cool breeze enveloping him. The wind magic in his clothes allows him to go faster than any human rightfully should, and he reaches the top floor in seconds, the bulk of his clothes reforming around him.
Note to self: Running on wind feels really f***ing cool.
He knocks on Professor Alto's door.

"I- I did that? My sincerest apologies." Alucard knelt down with his head between his hands, "I have this condition, where I black out for extended periods of time. I remember nothing, but my body still acts, under a different... me, I guess. You must have met the other one. I'll gladly remove the curse. It will only take a month to prepare the ritual, but I can help." He rose back onto his feet to continue, "I know a little of the two others. One is worse and more painful to experience, the other is kinder, but still strong. Which would you say you've faced recently? It might help me decipher the exact curse faster."

"I turn to stone." Arcturus told him bluntly as he rubbed the mark. "Actually, this is what I wanted to ask you about. Pearl and I, in the event of having a child, are not able to accommodate such a thing without us separating. We can't be together back at home, at least not visibly, and a child would shatter our illusion. I would have to stay back home to train to fight and defeat the other you. However, if you lift the other you's curse, Pearl and I can live together in peace. I would love that more than anything, and I'm sure she would too."

"Come in~!" Alto chimed as she laid down in a somewhat seductive pose on the bed that sat directly in front of the door. "Of course, not in me, yet."

"I see... this narrows it down to three I know of. One is excruciatingly painful, and the other two are mere executions. Since the moon is in the sun it must be the former... follow me. We must go to the top of the library to find the book with this specific curse." Valkyrie envelopes them and they suddenly appear in a small room with only one bookshelf and one deep purple throne with a table in front of it. Each book gives off an evil air as Van Halen inspects them and picks out the third one on the fourth shelf. He flips open to a page that displays the exact marking on Arcturus' forehead. "Tell me Arcturus, what do you see as the first ingredient to the cure?"

"The freshly plucked heart of a newborn child..." Arcturus read aloud with horror before turning away. "Alucard, I won't be able to do that. Even for Pearl's sake. I told her I would do anything for her, but I truly can't. That would be a monstrosity. I'd be an abomination. Pearl deserves better than that."

"I may be fast on my feet, but I assure you it will be hours before that happens." Hamon replies, as he opens the door, whistling suggestively when he looks at what's laid out on the bed before him. "Ooh-la-la... I don't suppose you have a certain itch that only a handsome assistant can scratch?"
Or a vampire, but those seem to be in short supply, and I happen to like garlic thank-you-very-much.

Van Halen smiled with pride to see Arcturus was not as heartless as his other self, "Yes if you are reading it normally, that is what it should say, but the authors of these books did not write down the true message in a way that just anyone could read. The true cure lies in code." Van halen bites his thumb, breaking the sking and dabbing the blood on the book. He showed it to Arcturus and now the passage read, To dispel the mark of stone, one must share blood with the caster on the occasion of the moon deflecting the sun. "If I interpreted that right, then you must become a vampire during the next eclipse to escape your fate. It occurs in exactly one month from now. Otherwise stick with the original cure."

"Oh yes." Alto smiled devilishly as she unbuttoned her robe, revealing that she was wearing nothing underneath. "Now close the door so we can begin your 'job interview'."
---
"That's... much better, thank you." Arcturus sighed in relief as he sat down in a nearby chair. "Wait, hold on a second. I know that one can become a vampire by being bitten by one then undergoing a ritual, but what happens when we share blood? We're not exactly the same species..."

"You must have noticed by now that I'm not a regular vampire. I can drain blood with more than just my fangs, and not only blood, but mana and life energy as well. The regular weaknesses do not break me. And I can still access all of my magic, as well as those that have been less fortunate to meet my other personalities. If we exchanged blood, you would most definitely become a vampire. I'm sad to say the change is not painless, and the first few weeks will most likely drive you to baser instincts, but it's our one shot." Van Halen leaned against the wall as he considered what it meant to become a vampire.

"If it means I can be with Pearl..." Arcturus trailed off into a quiet mutter before speaking back up again. "Also, tell your other self that I will still fight him, rest assured. Not just for my sake, but for yours and the world's. I myself am not entirely comfortable with becoming a vampire, losing myself as a human, but I will do what's necessary. I have a wife to comfort and there will be children who need raising."

Van Halen nodded with a sad smile, "I truly am sorry for afflicting such a burden on you. But if my predictions are correct, you will not become a lower class scoundrel, but an elite such as myself. At the very least, that will give you more control." Van Halen vanished into his cape as Valkyrie took Arcturus off the throne and to the dinning hall, where Cream had laid out a vast spread of various foods. Van Halen was at the head chair, but Rhea was sitting next to Tafl. Still several of the other Nymphs were close to him.

"Where's Pearl?" Arcturus asked Rhea as he took a look at all of the food. "Is she not eating with us?"

Rhea began speaking normally, "She's off getting the paint and costume ready for her dance. It shouldn't take more... than.... We might not see her for two days. Normally it takes eight hours, but Pearl is a bit jumpy, and ticklish, and can't stay still for the life of her. I hope she doesn't prove too much trouble for them."

As Hamon takes his first step forward his tunic grows a bright green for a split second, before vanishing in a gust of wind that blows the door shut. It reforms on the outer doorknob to signify that privacy is wanted. With each step, more and more of his clothes disappear, flying into a pile in the corner of the room in ribbons of silver and gold as well as gusts of wind.
"Enchantment." Hamon explains, throwing the covers from Professor Alto and crouching over her with a devious grin painted across his face. "You didn't think I'd let you hide from me, did you?"
It's been a while since I've had to do this whole foreplay thing... Let's see if my fingers still know how to work their own kind of magick...
Hamon's fingers dance around Alto's thigh, slowly making there way to a different destination...

"Ooh..." Alto giggled as Hamon tickled the inside of her thigh. "That feels nice, but let's skip straight to the action."
Professor Alto wrapped her legs around Hamon's waist like a cat would pounce at a mouse before increasing his gravity and pulling him in.
"Yes!" she shouted with pleasure. "Now let's have the fun begin!"
Alto and Hamon kept at it for hours, pleasuring each other immensely until both were too tired to continue.
"Wuh, wuh, I think you've passed..." Professor Alto panted heavily as she laid on top of Hamon. "Let's do this again sometime, alright?"
And without another word, she fell asleep on top of Hamon, covering him in her sweat.
---
"I hope so too..." Arcturus sighed as he drifted off into thought.
So in one month's time, I become a vampire. I can do that. Pearl needs me, and that's the only way I could ever stay with her.

"What's up?" Wha-Wha asked as she scooted right next to him. "You're giving off a real confusing vibe lover boy." Her medium length purple hair was just straight down this time.

"Just thinking about family, that's all." Arcturus sighed as he felt Wha-Wha touch up to him for a second. "Alucard, during those few weeks after what's going to happen, could you lock me up here in your castle? I just fear what would happen once it's complete."

"Yeah, totally..."
I think she broke my healing rib again... And I can hardly move my legs... I hope some other time isn't too soon. She's even more insatiable than Salah was...

Van Halen shrugs as he sips from his wine, "I've never actually been down there myself. Only the stranger me has. But I'm sure one of the girls can assist with that." Wha-Wha jingled a set of keys as a devious smile crept up, "As the official dungeon master of this place I'm happy to oblige."

"No castration please." Arcturus wagged his finger at Wha-Wha. "Pearl won't be terribly happy, and then your chance will really be gone."
