[As the wind cuts through the blinding fog, Carmilla lunges forward, a pale wraith with rapier-sharp nails aimed at Alucard's throat. She is hoping to tear into him while his hands are occupied upon the ship's wheel. That he ripped his way through her troops in his wolf form seems to phase her not at all.
Hector, meanwhile, is making his way to Alucard's ship. His jolly boat is too slow, but that's fine. That's not what he's using. He glides above the waves, one hand firmly grasping the leg of his freshest <a href="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/5/59/Cod_02.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110430152856</a>forged creation</a>. It's not true flight- he's too heavy for that- but having leapt from his ship's mast, he has the height for his bird familiar to coast with him to the Ghost Ship.
He lands on the deck, releasing the bird's clawed foot and jogging a few steps until his momentum dies. Then he looks around.
There are dead minions, and some injured and writhing. More shapes are closing in, crawling up the sides and drawing closer. One of Carmilla's vampirates has Cesar held by the scruff, having been handed the hostage under the cover of mist to free his captain's hands.
Carmilla is attacking Alucard, surely intent on subduing him and bringing him back with her to use as a weapon in her campaign for dominance in the courts.
Hector has not, as of yet, done anything that will irrevocably mark him as a traitor. He could do nothing, wait, and collect his dog when Carmilla finishes here. With the greater prize of Dracula's son won, the pup would be of no more concern to her.
Except that Alucard was a decent fellow to him and his dog, and told him where to find turtles. Carmilla, on the other hand, is a right bitch, and she stole his dog.]</small>
Carmilla!
<small>[He shouts. His hammer glows a pale blue. The bird swoops from the sky, this time trained at the arm of the pirate holding Cesar. Beyond the circle of mist around the ship, something begins to creak and groan. Wood splinters and cracks. It's the unmistakable death groans of a ship, and its coming from the direction of Carmilla's vessel.
The Question: Did Hector secretly forge himself a Kraken?
