Lord Blackheart : blinked as Dante flash stepped towards the guard, but the moment the man's head was severed, a faint mist of deep, almost forest green escaped the wound, the voice of the guard now heard from above the two men. "Perhaps he knew who took up residence here, and had taken that into consideration, Count." He spat back as retaliation, the mist now returning back into its body, its limbs retrieving its head, though when he saw the man had already started walking away, the guard returned his weapon to his back
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would be sleeping with his love only to be disturbed by something within his room. He sat up and left the bed but left his love there to rest while he walked onto the balcony and then glanced to his left to see what looked to be an imp like creature but it was of the shadows instead of the fire. He stared at the things eyes and after a few moments he would nod his head while then letting his thoughts slip out along the shadows... a hard thing for him to do for he was more the fire then anything else. **What would you wish me to do with him, Damien? Is he not one of your own and can you not control him?** asking in a light tone while his crimson mane flowed around bared shoulder, back and chest while his lower part of his body was covered in a black pair of silken pants. His feet bared but not feeling the coldness of the concrete~
Lord Blackheart : felt the messenger he had sent, and had heard the words spoken to him though the ears of the darkling as well. Its voice was almost raspy when it finally seated itself on the edge of the balcony, its wings folded out of respect for the royalty, as well as humility for disturbing their restful states. "Was just reporting to majesty, about Count and one of master's patrolmen." It would then raise its face towards the king, almost in a pleading or curious expression. "If not stopped, Count may find his self in castle dungeons." It reminded the ruler with a few fluid gestures of its thin, bone like claws. "Master has concern for those of home village, but if security is taken care of, there may not be need for concern." Swaying gently from the left side, to the right, the creature would await for the ruler to respond back to it, though the man his self would be following the day-walker back to their castle. He needed to be sure that his family was still in good health, the man stepping into the castle.
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he furrowed his brows slightly and sighed out a bit... **what is it that he is asking of me and mine... or is it us that he is worried about from this... Count? Nimena had said that she would not mind expanding the wards and now that the Starr Soul is back in working order... she is hoping to do just that. Hopefully to the extent of bringing the entire lands together... I am not sure how or if she and the others would be able to do so but... well she is hoping.** he looked out over the lands and pinched the bridge of his nose. He has been getting head aches but had kept them to himself for the most part. ~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : was silent in the bedchambers sad because she couldn't save the woman of Alevis....gods if she was able to know sooner she would have been able to something about it. ~"Love......I have grim news that I must speak with you about and it is urgent..."~ She said telepathically to Lucien, after all it was he that sent her on this mission, he needed a full report even though she failed to do as he asked. It wasn't her fault, she left the very night within the hour of finding out the situation, in her pajamas no less. But even leaving that soon she was still too late.
Lord Luhorn : While Nimena was waiting on Lucien, Lord Ivlisar Luhorn whom had been silent the whole time either way on the situation with the Queen noticed the stress she was under yesterday from the speech she gave, and he was never one to step on anyone's toes especially Lord Glacious and King Lucien.... they seemed to be at odds for whatever reason, Luhorn as most call his concern was the country and their Queen since he almost watched her grow up. He had a basket of fruit simply because of how frail she looked and her favorite tea herbs to try and cheer her up, nothing more then trying to be a gentleman. Not like Lord Glacious, Luhorn was genuine..... not looking for anything in return. He knocked on the door gently, this six foot seven elf with long dark hair and blue runes through his body..... which were glowing slightly .....he felt maybe this was a bad idea because something was off, but.... he pushed himself anyhow.... he felt the other council members were too hard on her lately, but unlike Glacious, if Luhorn was asked to back off he would without question as he awaited the Queen answer. "Your majesty do not be alarmed. Its Lord Luhorn of Eladrin council.... I brought you a gift...." He said awaiting a response. <e>
Lord Blackheart : blinked his eyes, as he could feel not just the three energy signals from inside his home, but he also felt a fourth presence growing in both strength, as well as sentience. Back at the ruler's balcony though, the creature would lower its wings once more as it motioned with its right hand, thin, bone like claws tracing idle designs in the air in front of them. "Count is known to master well." It would speak, its voice still holding that same rasp, and gruff pattern to it as it spoke. "But his concern for Count is what forced his hand." It would notice the ruler's nose being touched, as well as how he looked out over the lands he ruled. "He wants Count not to be in the dungeons for harm, but if majesty is harmed, I have been told to see to him as well." Its tail slowly twitched behind it as it waited for Lucien's reply, the darkness itself now making his way up the stairs of his home, his both hands stuffed in his jacket. With the battle with a Sin, and now another with a guard, it was a long night.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : had awakened with bad thoughts, that the council was trying to help her from being declared insane by her father, and she was stressed, she didn't want anyone speaking to her not Nimena, not Tylan, not Thraele, no one... She was so afraid whatever she said to them would get back to her father that she became a shut in, in her own bedchambers. She heard the knock on the door and jumped putting a hand to her chest until the man spoke. "Please! um... yes come in!" She called out. Something sounded off of Gisselle of course and she wasn't her usual demure self as she waited for him to enter wearing a blue and lace gown standing with her hands folded shivering a little but trying to seem calm and collected... she had a council member she could trust to tell the truth. <e>
Vaaldane : As Vaaldane walks through the outskirts just inside the south east side of the forgotten forest, he spots the rough outline of The Hunters Mark Tavern. After the long walk he would be ready to have a drink fresh from someplace where he wouldn't be questioned constantly.... Vaal nears the door to the Hunters Mark, never having been inside he would take in the sight of the seemingly unremarkable Tavern today. As he opens the door, he could see exactly where he wanted to be. He walks over to sit at the sturdy looking stool, and asks the nearby barkeep for a stout drink. After being handed the drink, he sets his coins down on the table, offering to open a paid tab. For Tonight he wanted nothing more than to drink the past few days away. Yaksha, The fight. Having that final image of Yaksha in Vaal's mind just before he disappeared into the dungeon... He wanted that gone, at least temporarily. As Vaaldane downs the first drink, he calls the keep over pleasantly, " May i have another, the first was for the nerves." As the barkeep hands him another Vaal graciously hands the keep another amount of coins to cover the next. Drink. Vaal sips more slowly at his drink, looking around as he does. Enjoying the atmosphere of the Tavern. Wondering if he should have at least awoken his Three pups to let them know he would be out of White Fang for a few days. /D/
Lord Luhorn : was taken aback by the response he got from behind the door and motioned a guard over silently, he didn't want to be alone with the Queen in her fragile state, he wanted a witness in case anything came up later on. He entered with the guard behind him and a basket of fruit bowing respectfully before speaking to her. "Good evening your majesty..... I saw you were distraught yesterday and decided to bring you some fruit and tea to cheer you up...... not.... good at this sort of thing erm..." Luhorn stated as he watched her with a warm smile trying to be kind with all that he heard was going on. <e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : looked to the guard and Luhorn and she blinked with the basket of fruit and she spoke out. "I know why your here... your worried and you should be..." She said quietly as she walked up to Lord Luhorn and spoke out. "You know too, you know the truth of what my father is trying to do and like Lord Glacious, your just here to help me right? " She said with a giggle and took the basket of fruit and placed it on her nightstand.
Castle Guard : while the guard looked with a raised eyebrow as he saw Lord Luhorn turn to his direction and the guard shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders not having a clue what the semi young Queen was speaking of. This was all news to this guard and even the guard noticed she was a little off.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : as she turned and smiled to both of them, eyes flashing for a quick second as she continued to speak out. "You come to help stop my father from declaring me insane right?"<e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He tilted his head slightly as he looked towards the bedroom and grimaced slightly. he then looked back towards that of the imp and nodded his head a bit. "I shall speak with Lord Damien upon the morrow about this incident and what... IF anything may occur in the future as well with him and his." he nodded his head towards the Imp as he then went back into the bedroom to be with his wife and find out what had gone on in the other lands where Alevis' fiancé had been in. "love? I was hoping to speak to you about what happened. You are back too swiftly and this give me to believe... she is dead?" he took her into his arms as soon as he got back under the covers ~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : sighed heavily speaking out. "Yes love.....she was dead almost a day before I got there......I cannot prove if it was a murder or natural cause....but indeed she is gone, Alevis is remaining to help her family with a few things before returning home, I gave her family money to aid them with whatever they needed...He will return to Eladrin in two weeks...I am sorry love..." She said in soft tones....
Lord Luhorn : meantime Luhorn knew now without a doubt something was not right with the Queen as he spoke out. "Lord Glacious is trying to help you hmm? I see..... that's..... thoughtful of him to aid you in such a way your majesty..." He stated and saw the eye flash out of the corner of his eye. He grimaced and knew this was not her own volition, he had seen this similar type of spell on more then one occasion and he had a feeling by how she was speaking who was behind it, Luhorn just didn't think Glacious would stoop so low. "Forgive me for what I am about to do your majesty.... Guard seize her...." He stated firmly the last bit after apologizing to Gisselle.
Castle Guard : the guard swallowed and did exactly as he was ordered.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : wouldn't have stood a chance being taken by surprise, and even more surprised the wards didn't go off.
Lord Luhorn : stepped up to the young woman while her back was against the guards chest and while she was struggling Luhorn placed both hands on the girls head gently, his hands would of felt like ice as he tried to pinpoint the location of the spells inner workings. "This is going to hurt you more then it hurts me.... m'lord..." He stated and he was going to push it out and have it hit the sender hard basically reversing the spell. "If you are not apart of this body, then leave and go where you came from..... you are no match for my strength..." Luhorn stated firmly glaring into Gisselle's eyes, his own turning into a crystal blue as the battle within Gisselle's mind began, the guard holding her firmly so she couldn't run even though she tried so hard to escape. <e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was surprised when the guards grabbed her. "Release me at once, your trying to stop Glacious from saving me!!" She called out as she fought to get away from Lord Luhorn, but when he took hold of her she couldn't escape him, his eyes. She started to become entranced, his words were a blur. She felt a pain in her head, something she wasn't expecting, she ended up closing her eyes and trying to turn away but she couldn't, the pain was great and his hold was strong. She was left no choice but to cooperate. <e>
Vaaldane : As he finishes his drink, Cursing the lack of the drinks ability to sate his wanting for feeling the all to distant memory of being drunk. Vaal calls the barkeep over once more and pays for another drink as it is handed to him, and then stands, walking over to lean on an oak pillar. Still content he sips the drink, beginning to think that Valestat most likely won't meet him here tonight. " So much for asking him If he would like to have himself a position in White Fang." After all Vaal had finally settled the dispute over the lands where his ancestors had once lived. And the castle, while never matching up to the Might of Eladrin, would still make a decent ally to them....Once he could gain an audience with the King and Queen of The realm. "Enough of politics for the time being, I wish i had gotten here sooner. Would've had at least a chance to speak to the royal family". Vaal thinks out loud. He then tried to take another sip of his ale, upon realizing he was out... Again... He shook his head, and walked over to the barkeep asking, " Do you happen to have anything stronger, I will of course pay for it." The barkeep smiles, and reaches below the counter. pulling out what looked like an old potion. Bulbous and filled with a dark liquid. " That looks like it could do the trick." Vaal states, as he places twice the coins on the bar for the keep to take in exchange for the liquor he poured, and then subsequently hands to Vaal./E/
Lord Luhorn : spent several minutes trying to locate what was going on with her mind and as soon as he found it the runes on his body started to glow brightly and he said a few words in elvish before the light of his runes shot into her eyes detaching the spell from her mind and shoving it back into whomever castes it upon her. It would leave a mark on the casters eye, sort of the mark of a blue bird near the pupil for three days. When that was over he would let her go and fall back catching himself on the bedpost. "Release her" Luhorn stated as he looked over to see if she was alright.<e>
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : woke up abruptly, He was dreaming about his past again, yet this time, he recognized that fact and pulled himself back before he went into a frenzy again. He decided to head out of the castle and head to the Hunter's Mark, Joel had mentioned that Vaal had something rather urgent to speak to him about. So instead of hitting the bar in the castle first he made it to the Hunter's Mark pretty fast, considering how much time he had spent in Eladrin, he knew exactly where to go. Opening the door to the Tavern, he spotted Vaaldane sitting at the bar and having a few drinks himself already, making his way to the bar next to him, he ordered a bourbon tankard and greeted Vaal. "How are ya doing tonight my friend?"-E
Vaaldane : Vaal stops mid drink, and looks at Valestat, " I.. I am having a drink, and I have some news. News that you will want to hear i think. I know we haven't been... Friends for very long, but given the past few days... I think that you're the first person i should share this with." Vaal goes back to taking a drink. After he sets his drink down, he tells val. " Once we recovered the amulet from Yaksha.. Or Jericho i should say, I went to the dynasty of Inheritance, and once the proof... The amulet and my blade ( Vaal pats his sword) I was able to claim rights to the land that my family once owned."/E/
Castle Guards : The guard nodded but Gisselle started to fall. The guard picked her up and placed her in the bed calling for the ladies maids. The guard was a witness to the entire thing and even though he wasn't exactly sure what happened, he knew it was something Luhorn was helping her with and not intending to hurt her in anyway, for he would have been in the dungeon by now if he had.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was asleep, it was a hard time to go through two spells in under twenty four hours.
Lord Luhorn : just hoped he could quietly get to Lucien before Lord Glacious got in his way. Lord Glacious called for a lady guard to keep watch over her waiting for a woman before he would leave her alone, he did not want the Queen unattended. "There is a woman named Izzy...search for her she should be on the grounds...bring her here!" Luhorn stated still holding onto the bedpost. <e>
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : nearly spit his drink up. "You own the rights to an entire land now? Simply by reuniting the amulet with your sword?" Val thought that was crazy, a hell of a lot to take in. He sipped from his tankard and didn't really know what to say other than. "Congratulations my friend, it would appear as if you now have a place you can call home, I don't remember the last time I had a full blown home, I travel all the time. It has been that way for many years now" Val sipped again. "Eladrin is the closest thing I could call home in many years, especially after meeting Sivella" He knew not where she was currently, he didn't think he had seen her in their room when he left, Her entire mind had been re gifted to her, she had a lot to catch up on he supposed. "So if you are the last born of your family, who are you choosing to inhabit this new land with you?" He asked, curious.-E
·Izzy· : *"...Son of a-..." Izzy growled softly, scooping up the dice before slinging them low and fast across the table at the off-duty guard. A moment or two later, she sighed and dropped the small stack of coins in front of him, eyes narrowed slightly. Why did she ever do this to herself? She knew how it always ended. The guard - One of several she helped to train before her disappearance - dropped his smile immediately when she pointed at him with a pale finger, though. "Fine. You win. But you're going to train with me in the morning. Before the man could argue, however, she was on her feet, returning the faint nod from a guard in the doorway and heading over. "...What is it? Actually, you know what? Don't bother. Just lead the way and we'll see. It's faster that way." Too much information before the fact just made her overthink things. Izzy worked best on impulse, or so she seemed. She had the mask of her attitude to keep up, to make it seem like less had changed over eight years than she wanted to show.*
Vaaldane : took in the surprise that val had shown. As he wiped off the small amount of liquid that had made it's way to his cheek, Vaal looked at Valestat. " I was hoping you could help me with that, Knowing that you don't truly have a home of your own. I was going to offer you a proposition. The new keep has been built, and my prison complex is underway with staffing. It was already on the land when i bought it, So i kept it." Vaal takes a sip of his drink then, before continuing " The proposition i have for you is this, be the general of my army... And the steward of land sales. And I promise you, you will have a place for you, AND Joel to call your own. Sivella is MORE than welcome to accompany you of course. What do you say?"/E?
Castle Guard : The guard lead the way for Izzy to Lord Luhorn's direction in Gisselle's bed chambers where Gisselle was tucked in with the basket of fruit by her and the tea herbs and Luhorn sat in a chair waiting for the young warrior woman.
Lord Luhorn : When she arrived he stood and bowed speaking to her after he had the guard shut the door from prying ears. "My apologies for calling you on your night off, but I have a predicament on my hands. "Someone, whom I pretty sure I know whom....caste a spell upon the Queen. One to try and get her to think her father was revolting against her, I knew because she was acting a little off. " He said tiredly as he slowly continued on. "I need to speak to King Lucien immediately....but I do not want to leave the young woman alone fearing the perpetrator may return...she will probably awaken soon not remembering this occurred....wherever she was last and with whom will probably tell you who caste this on her....but I need to get to King Lucien before....something .....else happens if you understand my meaning?" He asked curiously as he awaited Izzy's response before heading out and going to speak to the king. <e>
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : thought about the generous offer for a bit. "Say I take you up on your deal, does that even the life debt you had to me?" Val asked wondering a bit exactly how that worked, He admittedly still had plenty to learn about the legends and lore of the pure Lycanthrope. He sipped his drink. "And you trust me to be the channel for which people may call your land home?" He also thought about the fact that he was vampire, and how if any Lycan existed at all and they found his kingdom Would that put Vaal in danger? He didn't know but he also didn't want to be the cause of a mutiny in his very own kingdom. He sipped of his drink some more waiting Vaal's response-E
·Izzy· : *Following the guard, Izzy walked into Gisselle's chambers, glancing around and immediately scanning for any sign of a threat. When the man stood and bowed, however, her response was typically 'her'. Arms, half-covered by long finger less leather gloves, folded and her shoulders fell back slightly. The man was obviously of some nobility and importance, but frankly? His position wasn't any of her concern. "I don't have 'nights off'." If she wasn't so cold and deadpan half the time, she would probably sound more offended by the very thought of it, if that was something that the near-silver-haired freak ever actually did. "I simply have nothing to hunt right now." On the other hand, her attitude changed almost immediately when the man started to explain the specifics of the situation, and the more protective side of her took over. Eyes turned to look at the sleeping Queen before shooting back at the man, nodding her head slightly. "...I understand. I'll want answers sooner or later. A name." The words were cold, hollow and full of purpose, though maybe the smallest amount of venom behind them at the very thought of it. She could be an arrogant bitch when she wanted, but she still cared. It just took situations like this to make her show it. Eyes turned back to the man again, after another moment's glancing around, and another nod was given. "But that can wait. If you find the perpetrator? Make sure I don't find them. For their sake." It didn't register just who this man was, else she'd probably have been far more suspicious, and possibly a little...Throat-rippy. Would she have talked to the man in front of her in the same manner, stating her demands and likely plans if she DID know? Well, of course. She was still herself, and both the dragon blood and Solar's soul seemed to run more prominently as ever through her. It was bound to cause this...Attitude. The lessons on tact and diplomacy were clearly not the ones she ever picked up on as a child, either.*
Vaaldane : " The debt I owe to you will be reprimanded, If you accept the home i offer you. This is the only way i can repay you, short of giving my life for your own." As he said this, he placed his hand on Val's shoulder. " Do not worry my kin, IF... There are any true blooded Lycans that find their way to our lands, they will fall in line easily. A lot of what you don't understand will come clear. I control any Lycanthrope that are within my minds reach with this amulet, due to my royal blood." "That being said, they will in turn obey the commands of the Doctrine of the wolf." Vaal places his drink on the counter, and reaches inside his pack, pulling out an old parchment. Handing it to Val, he says, " This document is older than even my deceased mother, and holds the undisputed rights, and the commandment of the royal line... My people... were very well known, and were respected by their allies... Highly feared by their enemies."/E/
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : Val took hold of the parchment Vaal had produced. "I would like to learn much more about you my friend, I believe I am very interested in taking residence in your realm, If possible, I would like a forge, so that I may work on the armor I have been asked to work on from the captain of the guard in NightHowl" As Val was about to continue speaking, a white orb appeared on the other side of Vaal and took form of Joel. "How are you this fine eve pup?" Joel asked looking at Vaal "I heard you are offering Val, Sivella and I some land in the kingdom you have acquired through your blood line? May there be an infirmary that I control there?" Joel asked, of course very much enjoying the idea of though he may not need it anymore being able to watch over his two favorite charges he has ever had. Smiling he said "I would be greatly excited to join your Kingdom Little pup, though I will not discontinue calling you that" He said right away-E
Vaaldane : Looking between the two, both with questions, those of excited pups the day before the first hunt. " I have indeed placed a surmountable forge in the keep for you Valestat, there will also be a few well trained servants for you to have assist. they are all paid... As will you be. Busy as such, making arms for our own army, you'll need all the help i can offer... Brother.." Looking then at Joel, Vaal says; " Of course i had preplanned on hiring some well trained clerics for the also surmountable apothecary, and infirmary... But it would be an honor to have one with your love for healing, to join us. " This time Vaal actually smiled at Joel. " Call me what you will Lamplight, But please refrain in front of convicts, or soldiers."/E/
Lord Luhorn : just sighed lightly and shook his head. "M'lady, I am a man of few words, if I was for certain without a doubt whom the perpetrator was, I would of told you right now along with anyone else whom may listen... but....if someone comes to bring her something and they have a small blue bird mark near the pupil of their eye....that is your man, I marked the culprit so I could track him.....through his own spell....but I must alert her father of what has been done to her so her parents can care for her, as I said...I didn't want her alone..." He stated and bowed his head not giving her another reason to be venomous as he headed out the Queens chambers to go find Lucien and Nimena..... whom were still in their bedchambers speaking of Lord Glacious and his son's devastation for the moment.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : Meanwhile shortly after Luhorn left Gisselle started coming too with a massive headache. She looked around realizing she was in her bedchambers and Izzy was there. Confused she spoke out. "How did I get here Izzy?" She said holding her head. "I was in the Library..." She said softly as she looked around with a worried look. "Where is Lord Glacious?" <e>
Vaaldane : Looking between the two, both with questions, those of excited pups the day before the first hunt. " I have indeed placed a surmountable forge in the keep for you Valestat, there will also be a few well trained servants for you to have assist. they are all paid... As will you be. Busy as such, making arms for our own army, you'll need all the help i can offer... Brother.." Looking then at Joel, Vaal says; " Of course i had pre planned on hiring some well trained clerics for the also surmountable apothecary, and infirmary... But it would be an honor to have one with your love for healing, to join us. " This time Vaal actually smiled at Joel. " Call me what you will Lamplight, But please refrain in front of convicts, or soldiers."/E/
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : Val and Joel listened to everything he offered. Setting the tankard down Val said "I accept brother, I will be your second hand to your kingdom, your general and your steward. Perhaps we should journey there so Joel and I can get set up?" Joel nodded as well and said "Very well pup, I will be your lead healer and work in your Infirmary, watching over you as I once did while still upholding my responsibility to Valestat. I agree with him." Val set some gold on the counter for the barkeep and extra for a tip as he stood up watching Vaal's response. Joel stood up as well, ready for Vaaldane to lead the way to his kingdom-E
Vaaldane : hearing the offer accepted, placed an amount of his own gold on the bar, and stood. Thanking the barkeep for his generosity. Then he walked out of the bar, heading to his own hold./E/
·Izzy· : *The odd hybrid nodded, arms still folded in front of her across her bare midriff. It was very rare she wore anything that covered the entirety of her stomach, even during winter. It made no difference regardless. She'd be cold until spring at earliest no matter what. "Watch over Gisselle, disable anybody with a bird in their eye with extreme prejudice. Got it." There was a certain, almost lazy familiarity about her interpretation of the man's requests. Because in her eyes, that was what they were. There was precisely one entity that could actually -demand- she did something with any certainty of it happening, and the chances of 'that' particular dragon showing up were near non-existent. Surely he had better things to do than visit this world making requests of her. As the man reached the door, Izzy gave a weak smile, a final nod, and the words, this time in a softer tone, "...Good luck." She COULD be civil. For now. When the Queen stirred, Izzy turned to look at her, shrugging slightly. "I don't entirely know. I was asked to watch over you. So...Here I am." And then she mentioned another name. One she wasn't sure if she knew. "I really couldn't tell you, kid." Okay, so in likelihood, time warps and bubbles and strange planes notwithstanding, Gisselle was probably older than Izzy, but that didn't stop her from speaking in such a way.*
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he sighed out softly and lowered his head to her chest of billowy goodness. Nuzzling her chest with his cheek as he then rolled himself onto his back and took her with him. Her legs between his own while his arms went around her body in a very tight embracement. He looked up to her and after a gentle kiss to her lips he spoke "I am so sorry my love. Had I realized that Lord Glacious would have found out so swiftly... I would have made arrangements for the two to be well guarded. I have failed you and Alevis. You did not tell him that it may have been is father behind the woman's death... did you?" he asked with a quirked brow and a bit of worry for he was not sure Alevis would be able to avenge his fiancé's death.~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : blinked and let him cuddle her as her arms went around him keeping herself calm as he was speaking in his soothing fix everything and make it better voice. "You didn't fail us.....its just another hurtle unfortunately, and I would never say such a thing to his own son...especially if my ducks are not in a row love...." She was thinking come on...give me more credit then that. She kissed his lips and was starting to cuddle closer to him when there was a knock on the door. She sighed heavily and tightened the strings on her corset standing up looking to Lucien, not caring he had no shirt on she spoke out. "Enter...." She said softly standing to wait and greet the visitor.
Lord Luhorn : After a couple of moments it was Lord Luhorn. Nimena blinked never hearing from him usually, it had to have been Urgent. "Forgive me your majesty, is it safe to speak here? It concerns your daughter Gisselle..." He explained as he bowed to Nimena politely and awaited for him to respond. <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : Yeah... this was something they would need right about now and he was all for it as well.... till well.. damn it. He sighed and flung his arms from around his love's body as she got up to fix her robes. He stood up and behind her with his hands on her hips. "What is it?" He too knew that Lord Luhorn was more of a watcher then that of an actual speaker and this is what he liked about the male for he picked up on the most subtle of things. It was why he could trust the male out of all those there, for the secrets of the courts. He tilted his head slightly and then stood next to his love with his arm still around the small of her back and the hand on the opposite hip of the side he was standing on with her. He furrowed his brows when his daughter was mentioned "Is she alright?" he needed to know everything and then.... THEN he would go off on the person that had... IF anything... done something to her.~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : let Lucien hold onto her and when Lord Luhorn mentioned Gisselle her ears were wired for sound wanting to know what happened but staying silent on the matter and letting the men speak like the good little wife she was.
Lord Luhorn : as Lord Luhorn spoke out. "She is all right....now... I have Lady Izzy watching over her in her bed chambers to make sure nothing happens to her....or no one but her family enters the room pardon my ordering I did what I felt was necessary.." He explained with a sigh as he ran his hands through his bluish black locks continuing on. "I went to Gisselle bringing her a basket of fruit and some tea herbs....simply to cheer her up....out of bounds for me but I saw her emotions on the platform when she delivered the news of her husband.... I felt for her..." He explained with a heavy sigh getting to the point. "When I arrived, she was speaking nonsense, stuff about you, stuff that made no sense as if you were out to get her.... her eyes flashed. I delved into her mind after quickly having the guards seize her so she couldn't move....and there was a spell placed on your daughter, a recent spell ....some kind of influential spell. I am not sure the culprit....but I shot it back to the sender and marked him....he will have a marking of a blue bird near his pupil....the problem is the marking will only last less then 48 hours from now, if we don't find it before then, we wont find the culprit..." He explained.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : stepped away from Lucien looking to him shocked as she spoke out in soft tones. "Would Lord Glacious make such a bold move love?" She asked turning again to Lord Luhorn. "Who else knows of what happened?" Luhorn spoke out again. "Just you two, Izzy and the guards that were with me, for I did not want to enter the Queens personal chambers alone.....that would be....inappropriate..." <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He listened and as Nimena left from his arms he would smile towards Lord Luhorn... "Call a state emergency meeting... I wish ALL Council Members to be at that meeting... understood?" he then looked to his love once again. "I wish you to be in the shadows of said Conference room my love. IF... but I doubt it is an if... Lord Glacious does not arrive to this meeting of emergency... I will need you to help track him down. I have just sent a few imps to where I know his mansion is and a little cabin outside of the city, as well. I am sure he will be either starting to get ready to flee or already has done so." He then looked to Luhorn once more... "You did well in protecting my daughter, Lord Luhorn and if there is anything you are in need of or wish my help in. I will grant it." he nodded to the male.~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : nodded to Lucien
Lord Luhorn : spoke out. "Lord Glacious.... he.... left this morning before I got to Gisselle. He stated that his son's fiancee had passed away and he left to comfort him......" Lord Luhorn blinked, it made sense that he would do such a thing just Lord Luhorn didn't think he would stoop that low. "I made it so your daughter would not remember of my arrival. I had to ....have her seized and blocked, I figured with everything else she has been through..... it was not another embarrassment that she needed..." He explained
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : sighed. "I doubt very much he went there...... I don't think he is liked in that area.... he knew something was going to happen or knew he would be discovered. Love.... I am going to hunt him down and bring him back within the next few hours for charges, I am fairly certain that he is the culprit and I will find the marking upon him to prove it.." <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He arched a crimson brow slightly with his wife's words and folded his arms over his chest with a narrowing of his gaze. "I think that I shall be going with you my love. This way if he has any others with him... You can take care of them while I take care of Lord Glacious." his words filled with a bit of pride and...YES DAMN IT!.. a bit of testosterone coming from him as well as a slight coloring of his cheeks. He was trying pretty hard NOT to tell his wife off right about now for he knew that she did not mean to make it come out the way her words did. He looked over to Luhorn again "Still call for the meeting... do not tell anyone why the meeting is happening and let them know I shall be arriving shortly. Due to the fact that you were the one that put the backward spell on him and the marking... will anyone be able to see it?"~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : heard her husbands words and kind of wanted to crawl in a corner at that point but kept her poise since there was another individual in the room.
Lord Luhorn : nodded speaking. "Yes you will be able to spot the marking....I will go call the meeting to order...good luck to the both of you..." He explained as he bowed to the both of them and left.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : When he did Nim swallowed hard and spoke out. "Umm....very well then shall we be off?" She explained as she took her love's hand and closed her eyes speaking out. "Show me Lord Glacious...." She said scrying in a sense trying to seek him out. When she got close her body went flying across the wall forcibly letting go of Lucien's hand as she went back first against the stone crying out. When she opened her eyes the blue bird marking would be by her pupil as she grasped her head wincing a bit. "I don't know what happened......" She cried out....that smarted! <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he went to her swiftly and hissed as he would kneel down next to her... "My love... I know you are in a lot of pain for I can see and feel it a bit as well. I need you to focus though... where or which direction of the lands were you going to only to have him back fire on you?" he would put a bit of his heat into her body but would not give her his blood... yet. He needed her to concentrate on what she may have seen or even heard before this. He was trying hard not to just go all flamage right about now.~
Crimsonkyu : would wake from his sleep as he must have passed out before he could enter his shop, slowly pushing himself up as the strength in his arms would leave him causing him to hit the ground. Taking a few minutes and a few breaths he would try again. This time he was able to get to his feet as he noticed that blood was dripping from his nose. Using the back of his hand to wipe it off he would enter his establishment and take a seat in one of the many arm chars he hand. The book he was reading yesterday would form in his hands. Cracking it open he would pick up where he left off, trying to find something, anything at this point. A few sighs and sigils would stand out but they were no where near strong enough for what he had planed. He wanted quality or quantity, but time was indeed running out for him. Soon he was going to have to take what he could get. D>
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ She had books clutched in her left arm. Eden was on her right. The two had spent the night tucked up against one of trees. She had devoured the information about light and dark gods. She was seeking a weakness. Something she could use to exploit. Possibly bring back the dark god. Today was also going to be a day for her to start reading about the different types of dragons. But first... She approached crimson's lab. Her hand clenching into a fist. Banging loudly against the door Over and over. Louder each time it seemed. What was she feeling..? A tinge of regret? For yesterday's out burst? God that was weird. The fight with the polar bear yesterday had snapped things into place for her. This was going to be hard... She never apologized before. No need to do such. But now.. maybe it was time for her to make amends? At least to gain his trust back..since she was planning to collar him in the near future.[[D]]
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : She blinked and spoke out. "In...another place...... I think... I know where he is. " She said softly and she knew as well he was not alone, apparently he had some guards working for him off duty for extra pay. She growled slightly because she was in pain and because she hadn't been backfired before, that pissed her off, her eyes were ghost white with that fucking marking on her eyeball and gods know how many countless others that were looking for him, though she didn't quite know she had the marking. She took both his hands and just focused on where she remembered scrying at. They shimmered out of their bedroom and ended up at the abandoned Crystal Eye tavern. Just outside the wards and the placed looked like it was being used. The closer she got the bigger the headache now and she was ignoring the pain glaring. "Shall I go first or should I let you...?" She would make a better shield since she can come back to life....but she was going to let her husband dictate before she got herself into more trouble. <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He would redirect his fire minions into the very direction and into the very Tavern that the jack ass seems to be hiding. He would see that there were only two guards and Glacious within the tavern. While outside he would see... AS they traveled to that building that there were quite a few guards outside of the Tavern. He grinned as he knew that his wife was going to like his plans. **Damien... would you like to feast upon a few while helping your sister Nimena with a few unworthy guards of this realm? I am in need to go after an individual and I am sure she will not mind the back up.** he then looked to his love and after kissing her on the cheek. "Stop just inside of the trees my love. I wish you and Damien to take care of those outside of the Tavern... I have an appointment to keep. I DID after all tell him I was going to kill him if he went close to our daughter again." He winked and waited for her to do as she was directed. He was then going to teleport into the Tavern but into the hearth that was lit at this time~
Lord Blackheart : slowly pulled his self down from the tree he had been resting in, after teaching his student a few spells of protection, the man's arms reaching back up to the branch so he could right his self again. His motions were almost fluid, and flowing like water as he lifted his body into a backwards rotation, the man now seen in a crouch on the branch. "I honestly thought I would never hear you ask, my friend." He spoke, his words echoing with what could only be described as an ethereal pattern. "I hope my brother is not too busy, to notice a few more visitors." He chuckled, the man now leaping off the branch, his body sent into a forwards flip, before he landed next to his sister and brother in law. Brushing his self off of some dust, and needles from the forest, he would stand his self back at his full attention before the two rulers. "I may be a little rusty, since I don't usually feed from the veins anymore, but still." He would nod his head in respect to them both. "Thank you for this opportunity."
Crimsonkyu : "Alright i heard you the first time damn it , just wait a min." Slowly getting out of the chair as he got to his feet a few drops of blood would hit the floor. Placing the book in his coat as he would wipe the blood away again. Making his way towards the door he would look through the peep hole and see it was Athena and her bear. Taking a few breaths as she was just pounding the fuck out of his door. Placing his hand on the door nob he would open the door quickly and give her a light smile. He would not Say anything only walk right up to her and wrap his arms around her and hold her tightly, whispering softly in her ear " I am sorry, please forgive me again". Leaning back as he would give her a kiss on the lips if she would let him. There was so much he wanted to tell her, so much that she needed to know. He was not sure if he could tho, so for the time being he would leave it alone and enjoy Athena and everything that she bough. Her craziness, mood swings , chaos, dolls and her bear. "Please come in" D>
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Her head tilted to the side. He looked.. weird. Something was off. She cleared her throat and shifted around awkwardly. Scuffing her boot along the ground. " So um.. Yeah um.. " She rubbed the back of her neck. Her eyes slightly narrowing as she attempted to get the words out. It was a really funny sight. Athena never apologized for anything. She spun her tales and twisted minds until her victims thought it was their fault. " So I..." She began but was cut off by the sudden kiss. And the hug! It was a surprise too. Awkwardly, Athena patted his back with her right hand. The books still clutched in her left. " I'm... S...Sorry too.." THERE! She had said it. She had said it.. and she didn't like it. It left a sour taste in her mouth. Made her stomach hurt. It was an experience she wouldn't revisit any time soon. "So I saw the king in the forest..yesterday. With some forest nympho. He told me he was sparing.. didn't look like sparing to me.." She chuckled and stepped inside[[d]]
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : "Were outside, he is inside...." She told Damien as she kissed Lucien on the cheek. "Damien you go right...and I will go left...since your always right ..." She said as a sarcastic joke but hey, why not be funny, it took the focus away from the pain. Nimena made her staff appear in hand and started heading in the left direction of the tavern. As Damien went right she went to take out the few guards and she started stabbing them with the end of her staff through the throats.
Mercenary A : One however saw her from the bushes as Lord Glacious anticipated her arrival. Thinking she was the one that reversed the spell. The guard came up behind her and slid over her head a golden snake that solidified into a collar around her neck.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : She gave him an elbow to the nose and as soon as she stabbed him in the throat she felt the collar tighten around her neck.
Lord Glacious : looking out the window. "~If I go...you go~" Would be telepathed into her ear
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : she wanted to warn Lucien but her headache got worse and she fell to her knees wanting to call Damien as well but couldn't focus to call out for assistance as Damien was busy with the right side of the tavern. <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He looked to Damien and smiled slightly as he then nodded to his love and as the two of them split he would be within the hearth of the Tavern where he would see Glacious. A narrowing of his eyes as he would have two of his Fire Elementals go after the guards that were with Glacious but he would spew on out from the Hearth itself and with a fiery bastard sword in his hand he made a play for Glacious, himself. He was not going to let this bastard get away **Nimena... put a shield over the Tavern to keep this bastard within it.... Nimena... ** he did not like the fact that he could not get a hold of his beloved or that he would feel something was not right... **Damien... Where is Nimena?** worry lacing his mind felt words to the male while he continued to charge Glacious with a criss crossing of that bastard sword.~
Lord Blackheart : frowned at his sister's sharp jab, though when he felt the lady's energy slowly be taken out of range, he knew something had gone awry. His hands firmly around a guard's throat, he growled low, before he licked his index claw, his own blood from his tongue lacing the edges of it. As the guard went to strike him with his blade, the man would jab his claw through the man's carotid vein, the man licking his finger once more, to rid his self of the evidence. "Guard or not, you could use a rest." He spoke to the falling guard, the warrior's eyes closing, as the man swept around to the left side of the tavern. "He may not like what happens after he wakes up, but it's for a good cause." It was here, when he saw his sister in the midst of a battle herself, the man now growling once more at the sight of the collar around her neck. "Dirty trick." He began, the man now reaching out towards the one who had placed it on. "You there." He spoke, almost calm despite the fact he was here to do his job, his eyes flashing with a gradient hue of vibrant crimson, several flecks of gold dotting the iris as he advanced on the man. "Tell me, is there any way to remove this thing from my sister, or shall I read the information from your entrails when we are through with your friends?" He chuckled, but noticed his sister's reaction to killing the man. "Now why would I do that, when we can let him watch his friends become dog food?" He inquired playfully, his attention once more on the man. "What's your choice, vermin?"
Crimsonkyu : He would lead Athena and her polar bear inside and show her to a chair that she could sit in if she wanted to. Crimson would take a seat in a chair that was across from here, just before he could sit his leg would give out and he would fall into the chair. " Wow was that an apology from the great Athena " He would say with a light laugh. " You did not do anything wrong for you to need to say your sorry. it was all my fault for not stopping to talk to you when i saw you in the forest. "Raising his hand as he would lightly cough into his hand and then see blood. Using his ability over blood he would make it vanish. " So what brings you to my shop , and you say the king was with a forest nympho. Wow i did not take the king for someone who would do something like that ". He would notice that she had some books with her as well " A bit of light reading there " He said as he pointed to the books she was holding , as he would pull out the book he was reading before she got there and open it again to pick up where he left off. D>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : She couldn't talk and while Damien was speaking with the guard...
Lord Glacious : took his sword and swung up at Lucien's attack so they would clang swords as he spoke out. "You look a little worried your majesty, having trouble getting hold of your nosy little wife?" He asked with a smirk continuing to speak out. "She is mine now...you kill me she dies too...." He said with a laugh shoving his arm forward to knock Lucien backwards after standing in stance waiting for the man to cringe, growl and hiss, what that fire ball normally does on a daily basis. "If you would have stayed out of my way we wouldn't have to resort to this Lucien..." Lord Glacious firmly stated as he continued on. "And the council will know how many guards you had killed....what a terrible king your making out to be....Your majesty..." The last two words he said sarcastically with a diabolic chuckle.
Mercenary A : In the meantime the guard outside in Damien's hands unfortunately didn't have an answer for Damien so he remained silent
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : After Lord Glacious's laugh the pain in Nimena's head started to grow more intense as Nimena cried out and kind of fell to the side because it was becoming unbearable and she couldn't focus. <e>
Ɗɾɑƙƙʚɳɪϟ : With sexy time being interrupted with a bitter halt, A tingle ran down his spine and it wasn't from the ecstasy he was given. Drakkonis would hiss and growl lowly, Those tendril's that wrapped around his beloved's wrists and leg's would soon release and pull up around him swallowing him whole. The male clearly not happy about something and soon he disappeared from his and Tacita's room in Felgrande, Immediately he would appear before between Lucien and Glacious. Staring directly at the male and narrowed his gaze, With a tilt of his head to the left a crack could be heard. The crimson gaze filled with a tint of orange, The shadows dancing about the tavern. "So...Glacious...you wish to collar my aunt...and proceed to FUCK WITH MY FRIEND GISSELLE!!!" The tavern would shake and rumble, His finger's twitched and flexed multiple times as the shadow tendril's that had brought him here melded with the shadows of the tavern. Though that was not the end of it all, Drakkonis would hiss and continued on. "NO ONE FUCKING TOUCHES NIMENA AND FUCKS WITH MY FRIEND!!! BUT ME!" He would yell at the top of his lungs as he brought his hands up and jerked them inwards towards himself summoning not only the shadow tendril's but rips in the void that also sent it's own little tendril's out to wrap around Lord Glacious's body and limbs, The void tendril's would wrap around the arm's just above the elbow and just above the knee's. The void tendril's would then CONSUME the space they occupied around the limbs and amputate him, Drakkonis would slowly turn his head to the left to look over his shoulder and gave a nasty grin. "Oh...he's not to die this day...He will wish he had...but...This man will not..." The creature would then walk over to Glacious whom would by this time be suspended in air by the tendril's, He would then lean in to become face to face with the disgusting creature.<e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He had been shoved back from Glacious only to suddenly have... "Fuck sakes!" he whispered under his breath while looking towards Drak and growling lowly... "He IS to face the courts.. Drakkonis!" He did not raise his voice but it was flatly given towards the male....
Lord Glacious : Just as Glacious was put into the tendrils which he would have summoned a light spell from his very deity but it did not seem to last long as he grinned and intertwined around his limbs as he let out a blood curdling scream of pain. But before this had happened his eyes gleamed and within Gisselle's room the white roses would begin to give off a lovely scent of death. "I go.... others go with me!" Then that blood curdling scream...
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : It was then that the imp within Gisselle's fire place would not only come from the flames but also would summon one other imp to grasp onto the hand maiden that was in the room as well. The first one to swiftly go towards Gisselle and all it had to do was touch her and teleport her out of the room with the hand maiden being done the same way.~
Lord Blackheart : took the silence as meaning he would take it to his grave, so that's just where the man would take him. At this moment, he was provided with a task, and he was going to see it through, the man's body turning slightly though, when he heard the rising voice of his son nearby. This brought him more options, as the man turned to face his sister once more. A few of the tendrils would cover the darkness as well, the man's body completely surrounded by them, the inky black shapes now forging the man a set of second skin. His body was now draped in shadow, a few pieces ripped off from it, to show the tanned flesh underneath. Long, almost pure black strands waved about to reach the middle of his back. Two tendrils of his own emerged from his back, the slithering forms each with their own eyes and mouths filled with sharp teeth. He gestured sharply for his sister's collar, the tendrils lashing outwards, gripping the device in their jaws, before it snapped in their teeth. Despite that his lower jaws were covered by a metallic looking guard, his voice still could be heard as clear as if it were removed. Twin, almond shaped slits of flame and gold softened when he reached out towards his sister's face. "I believe it's your turn." He nodded. "If there's always a little bit of light in the darkness, than let us show them their angels." He spoke, those slits narrowing once more, before he sprinted inside, those tendrils lashing out, as he reached out with his clawed fingers. He was not happy about this.
Ɗɾɑƙƙʚɳɪϟ : "His fate is worse than death King Lucien..." The male would then turn to look back at Glacious, But then chuckled as he continued on. "If he must face court then name me Court..." He would then punch the creature in the mouth, Allowing his flesh to soften enough for when teeth were broken Drakkonis would gather some pretty nasty flesh wounds on his hand. Bleeding into the male's mouth the blood would lubricate the orifice enough for him to slid his hand deeper into the man's throat, Though by this time Drakkonis's fang's had elongated. Jerking forward he would bite into the man's collarbone area, Black substance would start to snake it's way through Glacious's vein's and create Drakkonis's mark. Though the blood that had been dripping down the male's throat wasn't given to him willing per say...but it would due the trick, After a few moment's of bleeding down this man's neck Drakkonis would rip his hand out of the throat and busted mouth of the person whom was suspended in air. "This is why...you don't touch my friends...or FAMILY!!!" The young man would then use that same damaged hand to now BACKHAND Lord Glacious. "You are now my bitch...Lick the bottom of my boot...or suffer..." He would narrow his eye's upon the man.<e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : His fiery gaze glaring at the male Blackheart only to then feel the ominous feeling of Damien approaching the Tavern as well. He would pinch the bridge of his nose as he then put his flame bastard sword to his back once more. "Do as you wish with him BUT... IF I need back up of what the hell happened to him... will you be coming to back me up?" he then started to walk towards the front door and opened it to let Damien within only to glance on over to Drak for confirmation of answer. "I think I shall go see how my wife is doing for I am still not able to get a hold of her. " glancing to the black creature that Damien had become and though he was feeling chilled he was trying hard not to actually shudder from the aura the male was giving off. "Damien... Nimena... she is alright and where is she?" he would ask for his worry was no longer for that of Glacious but that of Nimena instead.~
Lord Blackheart : frowned when the man was lowered to the ground as requested, though as he was, the man would then strike out with one of the two jawed tendrils, its serpentine form ripping the male's body from the ground, to hold him in the air before the both men. "You're not even worthy enough to lick the bottom of my son's boots, now that I think of it, scum." He would spit out, the man crossing his arms towards the man being held before them, his son's tendril on one side, while his own was keeping the other in the air still. Casually, the man would advance on the so called lord, his clawed fingers out, and his body leaning forward. "Since you decided that the lives of my family, my friends, and those in our kingdom are not important, why should yours be an exception to this?" He hissed, the man's remaining serpent gnashing hungrily towards the lord, before the man sent his claws out, marring the man's face. "You mean nothing to me." He hissed. "You are nothing but an insignificant little worm, though you may have your uses for him" He smiled, though it could not be seen through his facial guard. His voice had softened though, when the ruler spoke to him, the man quickly standing back at attention after he had marked the man's flesh with several large gashes. "Indeed I will be assisting you, brother." He spoke, his fist drawn up to his chest, clenching before he sent it towards the suspended man's stomach. "Your wife is outside, and she may still require assistance." He informed the ruler with a nod.
Ɗɾɑƙƙʚɳɪϟ : would turn as his father started beating the shit out of Glacious, He would chuckle and looked towards Lucien as he was starting to walk away. "Of course Lucien, That's what family is for isn't it?" The male would proceed to walk past the King and soon stopped before looking over his shoulder at the suspended male. "You know what's worse than being collared?" Drakkonis would ask before continuing on. "What I did to you..." The male would then narrow his gaze and proceeded to walk once more while still talking to him. "What you have to do is...Listen...and do everything that the Blackheart family want's of you...Willingly...or unwillingly..." The creature would then stop once again and opening a portal once more, He would chuckle and shake his head. "Dear father when you are done with that...thing...please return him to Tacita, I am sure she will love to have a thing to play with..." He would nod and step through the portal, Drakkonis now returning to Tacita.<e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he would be sleeping with his love only to be disturbed by something within his room. He sat up and left the bed but left his love there to rest while he walked onto the balcony and then glanced to his left to see what looked to be an imp like creature but it was of the shadows instead of the fire. He stared at the things eyes and after a few moments he would nod his head while then letting his thoughts slip out along the shadows... a hard thing for him to do for he was more the fire then anything else. **What would you wish me to do with him, Damien? Is he not one of your own and can you not control him?** asking in a light tone while his crimson mane flowed around bared shoulder, back and chest while his lower part of his body was covered in a black pair of silken pants. His feet bared but not feeling the coldness of the concrete~
Lord Blackheart : felt the messenger he had sent, and had heard the words spoken to him though the ears of the darkling as well. Its voice was almost raspy when it finally seated itself on the edge of the balcony, its wings folded out of respect for the royalty, as well as humility for disturbing their restful states. "Was just reporting to majesty, about Count and one of master's patrolmen." It would then raise its face towards the king, almost in a pleading or curious expression. "If not stopped, Count may find his self in castle dungeons." It reminded the ruler with a few fluid gestures of its thin, bone like claws. "Master has concern for those of home village, but if security is taken care of, there may not be need for concern." Swaying gently from the left side, to the right, the creature would await for the ruler to respond back to it, though the man his self would be following the day-walker back to their castle. He needed to be sure that his family was still in good health, the man stepping into the castle.
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he furrowed his brows slightly and sighed out a bit... **what is it that he is asking of me and mine... or is it us that he is worried about from this... Count? Nimena had said that she would not mind expanding the wards and now that the Starr Soul is back in working order... she is hoping to do just that. Hopefully to the extent of bringing the entire lands together... I am not sure how or if she and the others would be able to do so but... well she is hoping.** he looked out over the lands and pinched the bridge of his nose. He has been getting head aches but had kept them to himself for the most part. ~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : was silent in the bedchambers sad because she couldn't save the woman of Alevis....gods if she was able to know sooner she would have been able to something about it. ~"Love......I have grim news that I must speak with you about and it is urgent..."~ She said telepathically to Lucien, after all it was he that sent her on this mission, he needed a full report even though she failed to do as he asked. It wasn't her fault, she left the very night within the hour of finding out the situation, in her pajamas no less. But even leaving that soon she was still too late.
Lord Luhorn : While Nimena was waiting on Lucien, Lord Ivlisar Luhorn whom had been silent the whole time either way on the situation with the Queen noticed the stress she was under yesterday from the speech she gave, and he was never one to step on anyone's toes especially Lord Glacious and King Lucien.... they seemed to be at odds for whatever reason, Luhorn as most call his concern was the country and their Queen since he almost watched her grow up. He had a basket of fruit simply because of how frail she looked and her favorite tea herbs to try and cheer her up, nothing more then trying to be a gentleman. Not like Lord Glacious, Luhorn was genuine..... not looking for anything in return. He knocked on the door gently, this six foot seven elf with long dark hair and blue runes through his body..... which were glowing slightly .....he felt maybe this was a bad idea because something was off, but.... he pushed himself anyhow.... he felt the other council members were too hard on her lately, but unlike Glacious, if Luhorn was asked to back off he would without question as he awaited the Queen answer. "Your majesty do not be alarmed. Its Lord Luhorn of Eladrin council.... I brought you a gift...." He said awaiting a response. <e>
Lord Blackheart : blinked his eyes, as he could feel not just the three energy signals from inside his home, but he also felt a fourth presence growing in both strength, as well as sentience. Back at the ruler's balcony though, the creature would lower its wings once more as it motioned with its right hand, thin, bone like claws tracing idle designs in the air in front of them. "Count is known to master well." It would speak, its voice still holding that same rasp, and gruff pattern to it as it spoke. "But his concern for Count is what forced his hand." It would notice the ruler's nose being touched, as well as how he looked out over the lands he ruled. "He wants Count not to be in the dungeons for harm, but if majesty is harmed, I have been told to see to him as well." Its tail slowly twitched behind it as it waited for Lucien's reply, the darkness itself now making his way up the stairs of his home, his both hands stuffed in his jacket. With the battle with a Sin, and now another with a guard, it was a long night.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : had awakened with bad thoughts, that the council was trying to help her from being declared insane by her father, and she was stressed, she didn't want anyone speaking to her not Nimena, not Tylan, not Thraele, no one... She was so afraid whatever she said to them would get back to her father that she became a shut in, in her own bedchambers. She heard the knock on the door and jumped putting a hand to her chest until the man spoke. "Please! um... yes come in!" She called out. Something sounded off of Gisselle of course and she wasn't her usual demure self as she waited for him to enter wearing a blue and lace gown standing with her hands folded shivering a little but trying to seem calm and collected... she had a council member she could trust to tell the truth. <e>
Vaaldane : As Vaaldane walks through the outskirts just inside the south east side of the forgotten forest, he spots the rough outline of The Hunters Mark Tavern. After the long walk he would be ready to have a drink fresh from someplace where he wouldn't be questioned constantly.... Vaal nears the door to the Hunters Mark, never having been inside he would take in the sight of the seemingly unremarkable Tavern today. As he opens the door, he could see exactly where he wanted to be. He walks over to sit at the sturdy looking stool, and asks the nearby barkeep for a stout drink. After being handed the drink, he sets his coins down on the table, offering to open a paid tab. For Tonight he wanted nothing more than to drink the past few days away. Yaksha, The fight. Having that final image of Yaksha in Vaal's mind just before he disappeared into the dungeon... He wanted that gone, at least temporarily. As Vaaldane downs the first drink, he calls the keep over pleasantly, " May i have another, the first was for the nerves." As the barkeep hands him another Vaal graciously hands the keep another amount of coins to cover the next. Drink. Vaal sips more slowly at his drink, looking around as he does. Enjoying the atmosphere of the Tavern. Wondering if he should have at least awoken his Three pups to let them know he would be out of White Fang for a few days. /D/
Lord Luhorn : was taken aback by the response he got from behind the door and motioned a guard over silently, he didn't want to be alone with the Queen in her fragile state, he wanted a witness in case anything came up later on. He entered with the guard behind him and a basket of fruit bowing respectfully before speaking to her. "Good evening your majesty..... I saw you were distraught yesterday and decided to bring you some fruit and tea to cheer you up...... not.... good at this sort of thing erm..." Luhorn stated as he watched her with a warm smile trying to be kind with all that he heard was going on. <e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : looked to the guard and Luhorn and she blinked with the basket of fruit and she spoke out. "I know why your here... your worried and you should be..." She said quietly as she walked up to Lord Luhorn and spoke out. "You know too, you know the truth of what my father is trying to do and like Lord Glacious, your just here to help me right? " She said with a giggle and took the basket of fruit and placed it on her nightstand.
Castle Guard : while the guard looked with a raised eyebrow as he saw Lord Luhorn turn to his direction and the guard shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders not having a clue what the semi young Queen was speaking of. This was all news to this guard and even the guard noticed she was a little off.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : as she turned and smiled to both of them, eyes flashing for a quick second as she continued to speak out. "You come to help stop my father from declaring me insane right?"<e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He tilted his head slightly as he looked towards the bedroom and grimaced slightly. he then looked back towards that of the imp and nodded his head a bit. "I shall speak with Lord Damien upon the morrow about this incident and what... IF anything may occur in the future as well with him and his." he nodded his head towards the Imp as he then went back into the bedroom to be with his wife and find out what had gone on in the other lands where Alevis' fiancé had been in. "love? I was hoping to speak to you about what happened. You are back too swiftly and this give me to believe... she is dead?" he took her into his arms as soon as he got back under the covers ~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : sighed heavily speaking out. "Yes love.....she was dead almost a day before I got there......I cannot prove if it was a murder or natural cause....but indeed she is gone, Alevis is remaining to help her family with a few things before returning home, I gave her family money to aid them with whatever they needed...He will return to Eladrin in two weeks...I am sorry love..." She said in soft tones....
Lord Luhorn : meantime Luhorn knew now without a doubt something was not right with the Queen as he spoke out. "Lord Glacious is trying to help you hmm? I see..... that's..... thoughtful of him to aid you in such a way your majesty..." He stated and saw the eye flash out of the corner of his eye. He grimaced and knew this was not her own volition, he had seen this similar type of spell on more then one occasion and he had a feeling by how she was speaking who was behind it, Luhorn just didn't think Glacious would stoop so low. "Forgive me for what I am about to do your majesty.... Guard seize her...." He stated firmly the last bit after apologizing to Gisselle.
Castle Guard : the guard swallowed and did exactly as he was ordered.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : wouldn't have stood a chance being taken by surprise, and even more surprised the wards didn't go off.
Lord Luhorn : stepped up to the young woman while her back was against the guards chest and while she was struggling Luhorn placed both hands on the girls head gently, his hands would of felt like ice as he tried to pinpoint the location of the spells inner workings. "This is going to hurt you more then it hurts me.... m'lord..." He stated and he was going to push it out and have it hit the sender hard basically reversing the spell. "If you are not apart of this body, then leave and go where you came from..... you are no match for my strength..." Luhorn stated firmly glaring into Gisselle's eyes, his own turning into a crystal blue as the battle within Gisselle's mind began, the guard holding her firmly so she couldn't run even though she tried so hard to escape. <e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was surprised when the guards grabbed her. "Release me at once, your trying to stop Glacious from saving me!!" She called out as she fought to get away from Lord Luhorn, but when he took hold of her she couldn't escape him, his eyes. She started to become entranced, his words were a blur. She felt a pain in her head, something she wasn't expecting, she ended up closing her eyes and trying to turn away but she couldn't, the pain was great and his hold was strong. She was left no choice but to cooperate. <e>
Vaaldane : As he finishes his drink, Cursing the lack of the drinks ability to sate his wanting for feeling the all to distant memory of being drunk. Vaal calls the barkeep over once more and pays for another drink as it is handed to him, and then stands, walking over to lean on an oak pillar. Still content he sips the drink, beginning to think that Valestat most likely won't meet him here tonight. " So much for asking him If he would like to have himself a position in White Fang." After all Vaal had finally settled the dispute over the lands where his ancestors had once lived. And the castle, while never matching up to the Might of Eladrin, would still make a decent ally to them....Once he could gain an audience with the King and Queen of The realm. "Enough of politics for the time being, I wish i had gotten here sooner. Would've had at least a chance to speak to the royal family". Vaal thinks out loud. He then tried to take another sip of his ale, upon realizing he was out... Again... He shook his head, and walked over to the barkeep asking, " Do you happen to have anything stronger, I will of course pay for it." The barkeep smiles, and reaches below the counter. pulling out what looked like an old potion. Bulbous and filled with a dark liquid. " That looks like it could do the trick." Vaal states, as he places twice the coins on the bar for the keep to take in exchange for the liquor he poured, and then subsequently hands to Vaal./E/
Lord Luhorn : spent several minutes trying to locate what was going on with her mind and as soon as he found it the runes on his body started to glow brightly and he said a few words in elvish before the light of his runes shot into her eyes detaching the spell from her mind and shoving it back into whomever castes it upon her. It would leave a mark on the casters eye, sort of the mark of a blue bird near the pupil for three days. When that was over he would let her go and fall back catching himself on the bedpost. "Release her" Luhorn stated as he looked over to see if she was alright.<e>
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : woke up abruptly, He was dreaming about his past again, yet this time, he recognized that fact and pulled himself back before he went into a frenzy again. He decided to head out of the castle and head to the Hunter's Mark, Joel had mentioned that Vaal had something rather urgent to speak to him about. So instead of hitting the bar in the castle first he made it to the Hunter's Mark pretty fast, considering how much time he had spent in Eladrin, he knew exactly where to go. Opening the door to the Tavern, he spotted Vaaldane sitting at the bar and having a few drinks himself already, making his way to the bar next to him, he ordered a bourbon tankard and greeted Vaal. "How are ya doing tonight my friend?"-E
Vaaldane : Vaal stops mid drink, and looks at Valestat, " I.. I am having a drink, and I have some news. News that you will want to hear i think. I know we haven't been... Friends for very long, but given the past few days... I think that you're the first person i should share this with." Vaal goes back to taking a drink. After he sets his drink down, he tells val. " Once we recovered the amulet from Yaksha.. Or Jericho i should say, I went to the dynasty of Inheritance, and once the proof... The amulet and my blade ( Vaal pats his sword) I was able to claim rights to the land that my family once owned."/E/
Castle Guards : The guard nodded but Gisselle started to fall. The guard picked her up and placed her in the bed calling for the ladies maids. The guard was a witness to the entire thing and even though he wasn't exactly sure what happened, he knew it was something Luhorn was helping her with and not intending to hurt her in anyway, for he would have been in the dungeon by now if he had.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was asleep, it was a hard time to go through two spells in under twenty four hours.
Lord Luhorn : just hoped he could quietly get to Lucien before Lord Glacious got in his way. Lord Glacious called for a lady guard to keep watch over her waiting for a woman before he would leave her alone, he did not want the Queen unattended. "There is a woman named Izzy...search for her she should be on the grounds...bring her here!" Luhorn stated still holding onto the bedpost. <e>
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : nearly spit his drink up. "You own the rights to an entire land now? Simply by reuniting the amulet with your sword?" Val thought that was crazy, a hell of a lot to take in. He sipped from his tankard and didn't really know what to say other than. "Congratulations my friend, it would appear as if you now have a place you can call home, I don't remember the last time I had a full blown home, I travel all the time. It has been that way for many years now" Val sipped again. "Eladrin is the closest thing I could call home in many years, especially after meeting Sivella" He knew not where she was currently, he didn't think he had seen her in their room when he left, Her entire mind had been re gifted to her, she had a lot to catch up on he supposed. "So if you are the last born of your family, who are you choosing to inhabit this new land with you?" He asked, curious.-E
·Izzy· : *"...Son of a-..." Izzy growled softly, scooping up the dice before slinging them low and fast across the table at the off-duty guard. A moment or two later, she sighed and dropped the small stack of coins in front of him, eyes narrowed slightly. Why did she ever do this to herself? She knew how it always ended. The guard - One of several she helped to train before her disappearance - dropped his smile immediately when she pointed at him with a pale finger, though. "Fine. You win. But you're going to train with me in the morning. Before the man could argue, however, she was on her feet, returning the faint nod from a guard in the doorway and heading over. "...What is it? Actually, you know what? Don't bother. Just lead the way and we'll see. It's faster that way." Too much information before the fact just made her overthink things. Izzy worked best on impulse, or so she seemed. She had the mask of her attitude to keep up, to make it seem like less had changed over eight years than she wanted to show.*
Vaaldane : took in the surprise that val had shown. As he wiped off the small amount of liquid that had made it's way to his cheek, Vaal looked at Valestat. " I was hoping you could help me with that, Knowing that you don't truly have a home of your own. I was going to offer you a proposition. The new keep has been built, and my prison complex is underway with staffing. It was already on the land when i bought it, So i kept it." Vaal takes a sip of his drink then, before continuing " The proposition i have for you is this, be the general of my army... And the steward of land sales. And I promise you, you will have a place for you, AND Joel to call your own. Sivella is MORE than welcome to accompany you of course. What do you say?"/E?
Castle Guard : The guard lead the way for Izzy to Lord Luhorn's direction in Gisselle's bed chambers where Gisselle was tucked in with the basket of fruit by her and the tea herbs and Luhorn sat in a chair waiting for the young warrior woman.
Lord Luhorn : When she arrived he stood and bowed speaking to her after he had the guard shut the door from prying ears. "My apologies for calling you on your night off, but I have a predicament on my hands. "Someone, whom I pretty sure I know whom....caste a spell upon the Queen. One to try and get her to think her father was revolting against her, I knew because she was acting a little off. " He said tiredly as he slowly continued on. "I need to speak to King Lucien immediately....but I do not want to leave the young woman alone fearing the perpetrator may return...she will probably awaken soon not remembering this occurred....wherever she was last and with whom will probably tell you who caste this on her....but I need to get to King Lucien before....something .....else happens if you understand my meaning?" He asked curiously as he awaited Izzy's response before heading out and going to speak to the king. <e>
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : thought about the generous offer for a bit. "Say I take you up on your deal, does that even the life debt you had to me?" Val asked wondering a bit exactly how that worked, He admittedly still had plenty to learn about the legends and lore of the pure Lycanthrope. He sipped his drink. "And you trust me to be the channel for which people may call your land home?" He also thought about the fact that he was vampire, and how if any Lycan existed at all and they found his kingdom Would that put Vaal in danger? He didn't know but he also didn't want to be the cause of a mutiny in his very own kingdom. He sipped of his drink some more waiting Vaal's response-E
·Izzy· : *Following the guard, Izzy walked into Gisselle's chambers, glancing around and immediately scanning for any sign of a threat. When the man stood and bowed, however, her response was typically 'her'. Arms, half-covered by long finger less leather gloves, folded and her shoulders fell back slightly. The man was obviously of some nobility and importance, but frankly? His position wasn't any of her concern. "I don't have 'nights off'." If she wasn't so cold and deadpan half the time, she would probably sound more offended by the very thought of it, if that was something that the near-silver-haired freak ever actually did. "I simply have nothing to hunt right now." On the other hand, her attitude changed almost immediately when the man started to explain the specifics of the situation, and the more protective side of her took over. Eyes turned to look at the sleeping Queen before shooting back at the man, nodding her head slightly. "...I understand. I'll want answers sooner or later. A name." The words were cold, hollow and full of purpose, though maybe the smallest amount of venom behind them at the very thought of it. She could be an arrogant bitch when she wanted, but she still cared. It just took situations like this to make her show it. Eyes turned back to the man again, after another moment's glancing around, and another nod was given. "But that can wait. If you find the perpetrator? Make sure I don't find them. For their sake." It didn't register just who this man was, else she'd probably have been far more suspicious, and possibly a little...Throat-rippy. Would she have talked to the man in front of her in the same manner, stating her demands and likely plans if she DID know? Well, of course. She was still herself, and both the dragon blood and Solar's soul seemed to run more prominently as ever through her. It was bound to cause this...Attitude. The lessons on tact and diplomacy were clearly not the ones she ever picked up on as a child, either.*
Vaaldane : " The debt I owe to you will be reprimanded, If you accept the home i offer you. This is the only way i can repay you, short of giving my life for your own." As he said this, he placed his hand on Val's shoulder. " Do not worry my kin, IF... There are any true blooded Lycans that find their way to our lands, they will fall in line easily. A lot of what you don't understand will come clear. I control any Lycanthrope that are within my minds reach with this amulet, due to my royal blood." "That being said, they will in turn obey the commands of the Doctrine of the wolf." Vaal places his drink on the counter, and reaches inside his pack, pulling out an old parchment. Handing it to Val, he says, " This document is older than even my deceased mother, and holds the undisputed rights, and the commandment of the royal line... My people... were very well known, and were respected by their allies... Highly feared by their enemies."/E/
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : Val took hold of the parchment Vaal had produced. "I would like to learn much more about you my friend, I believe I am very interested in taking residence in your realm, If possible, I would like a forge, so that I may work on the armor I have been asked to work on from the captain of the guard in NightHowl" As Val was about to continue speaking, a white orb appeared on the other side of Vaal and took form of Joel. "How are you this fine eve pup?" Joel asked looking at Vaal "I heard you are offering Val, Sivella and I some land in the kingdom you have acquired through your blood line? May there be an infirmary that I control there?" Joel asked, of course very much enjoying the idea of though he may not need it anymore being able to watch over his two favorite charges he has ever had. Smiling he said "I would be greatly excited to join your Kingdom Little pup, though I will not discontinue calling you that" He said right away-E
Vaaldane : Looking between the two, both with questions, those of excited pups the day before the first hunt. " I have indeed placed a surmountable forge in the keep for you Valestat, there will also be a few well trained servants for you to have assist. they are all paid... As will you be. Busy as such, making arms for our own army, you'll need all the help i can offer... Brother.." Looking then at Joel, Vaal says; " Of course i had preplanned on hiring some well trained clerics for the also surmountable apothecary, and infirmary... But it would be an honor to have one with your love for healing, to join us. " This time Vaal actually smiled at Joel. " Call me what you will Lamplight, But please refrain in front of convicts, or soldiers."/E/
Lord Luhorn : just sighed lightly and shook his head. "M'lady, I am a man of few words, if I was for certain without a doubt whom the perpetrator was, I would of told you right now along with anyone else whom may listen... but....if someone comes to bring her something and they have a small blue bird mark near the pupil of their eye....that is your man, I marked the culprit so I could track him.....through his own spell....but I must alert her father of what has been done to her so her parents can care for her, as I said...I didn't want her alone..." He stated and bowed his head not giving her another reason to be venomous as he headed out the Queens chambers to go find Lucien and Nimena..... whom were still in their bedchambers speaking of Lord Glacious and his son's devastation for the moment.
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : Meanwhile shortly after Luhorn left Gisselle started coming too with a massive headache. She looked around realizing she was in her bedchambers and Izzy was there. Confused she spoke out. "How did I get here Izzy?" She said holding her head. "I was in the Library..." She said softly as she looked around with a worried look. "Where is Lord Glacious?" <e>
Vaaldane : Looking between the two, both with questions, those of excited pups the day before the first hunt. " I have indeed placed a surmountable forge in the keep for you Valestat, there will also be a few well trained servants for you to have assist. they are all paid... As will you be. Busy as such, making arms for our own army, you'll need all the help i can offer... Brother.." Looking then at Joel, Vaal says; " Of course i had pre planned on hiring some well trained clerics for the also surmountable apothecary, and infirmary... But it would be an honor to have one with your love for healing, to join us. " This time Vaal actually smiled at Joel. " Call me what you will Lamplight, But please refrain in front of convicts, or soldiers."/E/
Ѵᾶɭὲȿȶᾶȶ : Val and Joel listened to everything he offered. Setting the tankard down Val said "I accept brother, I will be your second hand to your kingdom, your general and your steward. Perhaps we should journey there so Joel and I can get set up?" Joel nodded as well and said "Very well pup, I will be your lead healer and work in your Infirmary, watching over you as I once did while still upholding my responsibility to Valestat. I agree with him." Val set some gold on the counter for the barkeep and extra for a tip as he stood up watching Vaal's response. Joel stood up as well, ready for Vaaldane to lead the way to his kingdom-E
Vaaldane : hearing the offer accepted, placed an amount of his own gold on the bar, and stood. Thanking the barkeep for his generosity. Then he walked out of the bar, heading to his own hold./E/
·Izzy· : *The odd hybrid nodded, arms still folded in front of her across her bare midriff. It was very rare she wore anything that covered the entirety of her stomach, even during winter. It made no difference regardless. She'd be cold until spring at earliest no matter what. "Watch over Gisselle, disable anybody with a bird in their eye with extreme prejudice. Got it." There was a certain, almost lazy familiarity about her interpretation of the man's requests. Because in her eyes, that was what they were. There was precisely one entity that could actually -demand- she did something with any certainty of it happening, and the chances of 'that' particular dragon showing up were near non-existent. Surely he had better things to do than visit this world making requests of her. As the man reached the door, Izzy gave a weak smile, a final nod, and the words, this time in a softer tone, "...Good luck." She COULD be civil. For now. When the Queen stirred, Izzy turned to look at her, shrugging slightly. "I don't entirely know. I was asked to watch over you. So...Here I am." And then she mentioned another name. One she wasn't sure if she knew. "I really couldn't tell you, kid." Okay, so in likelihood, time warps and bubbles and strange planes notwithstanding, Gisselle was probably older than Izzy, but that didn't stop her from speaking in such a way.*
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he sighed out softly and lowered his head to her chest of billowy goodness. Nuzzling her chest with his cheek as he then rolled himself onto his back and took her with him. Her legs between his own while his arms went around her body in a very tight embracement. He looked up to her and after a gentle kiss to her lips he spoke "I am so sorry my love. Had I realized that Lord Glacious would have found out so swiftly... I would have made arrangements for the two to be well guarded. I have failed you and Alevis. You did not tell him that it may have been is father behind the woman's death... did you?" he asked with a quirked brow and a bit of worry for he was not sure Alevis would be able to avenge his fiancé's death.~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : blinked and let him cuddle her as her arms went around him keeping herself calm as he was speaking in his soothing fix everything and make it better voice. "You didn't fail us.....its just another hurtle unfortunately, and I would never say such a thing to his own son...especially if my ducks are not in a row love...." She was thinking come on...give me more credit then that. She kissed his lips and was starting to cuddle closer to him when there was a knock on the door. She sighed heavily and tightened the strings on her corset standing up looking to Lucien, not caring he had no shirt on she spoke out. "Enter...." She said softly standing to wait and greet the visitor.
Lord Luhorn : After a couple of moments it was Lord Luhorn. Nimena blinked never hearing from him usually, it had to have been Urgent. "Forgive me your majesty, is it safe to speak here? It concerns your daughter Gisselle..." He explained as he bowed to Nimena politely and awaited for him to respond. <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : Yeah... this was something they would need right about now and he was all for it as well.... till well.. damn it. He sighed and flung his arms from around his love's body as she got up to fix her robes. He stood up and behind her with his hands on her hips. "What is it?" He too knew that Lord Luhorn was more of a watcher then that of an actual speaker and this is what he liked about the male for he picked up on the most subtle of things. It was why he could trust the male out of all those there, for the secrets of the courts. He tilted his head slightly and then stood next to his love with his arm still around the small of her back and the hand on the opposite hip of the side he was standing on with her. He furrowed his brows when his daughter was mentioned "Is she alright?" he needed to know everything and then.... THEN he would go off on the person that had... IF anything... done something to her.~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : let Lucien hold onto her and when Lord Luhorn mentioned Gisselle her ears were wired for sound wanting to know what happened but staying silent on the matter and letting the men speak like the good little wife she was.
Lord Luhorn : as Lord Luhorn spoke out. "She is all right....now... I have Lady Izzy watching over her in her bed chambers to make sure nothing happens to her....or no one but her family enters the room pardon my ordering I did what I felt was necessary.." He explained with a sigh as he ran his hands through his bluish black locks continuing on. "I went to Gisselle bringing her a basket of fruit and some tea herbs....simply to cheer her up....out of bounds for me but I saw her emotions on the platform when she delivered the news of her husband.... I felt for her..." He explained with a heavy sigh getting to the point. "When I arrived, she was speaking nonsense, stuff about you, stuff that made no sense as if you were out to get her.... her eyes flashed. I delved into her mind after quickly having the guards seize her so she couldn't move....and there was a spell placed on your daughter, a recent spell ....some kind of influential spell. I am not sure the culprit....but I shot it back to the sender and marked him....he will have a marking of a blue bird near his pupil....the problem is the marking will only last less then 48 hours from now, if we don't find it before then, we wont find the culprit..." He explained.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : stepped away from Lucien looking to him shocked as she spoke out in soft tones. "Would Lord Glacious make such a bold move love?" She asked turning again to Lord Luhorn. "Who else knows of what happened?" Luhorn spoke out again. "Just you two, Izzy and the guards that were with me, for I did not want to enter the Queens personal chambers alone.....that would be....inappropriate..." <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He listened and as Nimena left from his arms he would smile towards Lord Luhorn... "Call a state emergency meeting... I wish ALL Council Members to be at that meeting... understood?" he then looked to his love once again. "I wish you to be in the shadows of said Conference room my love. IF... but I doubt it is an if... Lord Glacious does not arrive to this meeting of emergency... I will need you to help track him down. I have just sent a few imps to where I know his mansion is and a little cabin outside of the city, as well. I am sure he will be either starting to get ready to flee or already has done so." He then looked to Luhorn once more... "You did well in protecting my daughter, Lord Luhorn and if there is anything you are in need of or wish my help in. I will grant it." he nodded to the male.~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : nodded to Lucien
Lord Luhorn : spoke out. "Lord Glacious.... he.... left this morning before I got to Gisselle. He stated that his son's fiancee had passed away and he left to comfort him......" Lord Luhorn blinked, it made sense that he would do such a thing just Lord Luhorn didn't think he would stoop that low. "I made it so your daughter would not remember of my arrival. I had to ....have her seized and blocked, I figured with everything else she has been through..... it was not another embarrassment that she needed..." He explained
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : sighed. "I doubt very much he went there...... I don't think he is liked in that area.... he knew something was going to happen or knew he would be discovered. Love.... I am going to hunt him down and bring him back within the next few hours for charges, I am fairly certain that he is the culprit and I will find the marking upon him to prove it.." <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He arched a crimson brow slightly with his wife's words and folded his arms over his chest with a narrowing of his gaze. "I think that I shall be going with you my love. This way if he has any others with him... You can take care of them while I take care of Lord Glacious." his words filled with a bit of pride and...YES DAMN IT!.. a bit of testosterone coming from him as well as a slight coloring of his cheeks. He was trying pretty hard NOT to tell his wife off right about now for he knew that she did not mean to make it come out the way her words did. He looked over to Luhorn again "Still call for the meeting... do not tell anyone why the meeting is happening and let them know I shall be arriving shortly. Due to the fact that you were the one that put the backward spell on him and the marking... will anyone be able to see it?"~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : heard her husbands words and kind of wanted to crawl in a corner at that point but kept her poise since there was another individual in the room.
Lord Luhorn : nodded speaking. "Yes you will be able to spot the marking....I will go call the meeting to order...good luck to the both of you..." He explained as he bowed to the both of them and left.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : When he did Nim swallowed hard and spoke out. "Umm....very well then shall we be off?" She explained as she took her love's hand and closed her eyes speaking out. "Show me Lord Glacious...." She said scrying in a sense trying to seek him out. When she got close her body went flying across the wall forcibly letting go of Lucien's hand as she went back first against the stone crying out. When she opened her eyes the blue bird marking would be by her pupil as she grasped her head wincing a bit. "I don't know what happened......" She cried out....that smarted! <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : he went to her swiftly and hissed as he would kneel down next to her... "My love... I know you are in a lot of pain for I can see and feel it a bit as well. I need you to focus though... where or which direction of the lands were you going to only to have him back fire on you?" he would put a bit of his heat into her body but would not give her his blood... yet. He needed her to concentrate on what she may have seen or even heard before this. He was trying hard not to just go all flamage right about now.~
Crimsonkyu : would wake from his sleep as he must have passed out before he could enter his shop, slowly pushing himself up as the strength in his arms would leave him causing him to hit the ground. Taking a few minutes and a few breaths he would try again. This time he was able to get to his feet as he noticed that blood was dripping from his nose. Using the back of his hand to wipe it off he would enter his establishment and take a seat in one of the many arm chars he hand. The book he was reading yesterday would form in his hands. Cracking it open he would pick up where he left off, trying to find something, anything at this point. A few sighs and sigils would stand out but they were no where near strong enough for what he had planed. He wanted quality or quantity, but time was indeed running out for him. Soon he was going to have to take what he could get. D>
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ She had books clutched in her left arm. Eden was on her right. The two had spent the night tucked up against one of trees. She had devoured the information about light and dark gods. She was seeking a weakness. Something she could use to exploit. Possibly bring back the dark god. Today was also going to be a day for her to start reading about the different types of dragons. But first... She approached crimson's lab. Her hand clenching into a fist. Banging loudly against the door Over and over. Louder each time it seemed. What was she feeling..? A tinge of regret? For yesterday's out burst? God that was weird. The fight with the polar bear yesterday had snapped things into place for her. This was going to be hard... She never apologized before. No need to do such. But now.. maybe it was time for her to make amends? At least to gain his trust back..since she was planning to collar him in the near future.[[D]]
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : She blinked and spoke out. "In...another place...... I think... I know where he is. " She said softly and she knew as well he was not alone, apparently he had some guards working for him off duty for extra pay. She growled slightly because she was in pain and because she hadn't been backfired before, that pissed her off, her eyes were ghost white with that fucking marking on her eyeball and gods know how many countless others that were looking for him, though she didn't quite know she had the marking. She took both his hands and just focused on where she remembered scrying at. They shimmered out of their bedroom and ended up at the abandoned Crystal Eye tavern. Just outside the wards and the placed looked like it was being used. The closer she got the bigger the headache now and she was ignoring the pain glaring. "Shall I go first or should I let you...?" She would make a better shield since she can come back to life....but she was going to let her husband dictate before she got herself into more trouble. <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He would redirect his fire minions into the very direction and into the very Tavern that the jack ass seems to be hiding. He would see that there were only two guards and Glacious within the tavern. While outside he would see... AS they traveled to that building that there were quite a few guards outside of the Tavern. He grinned as he knew that his wife was going to like his plans. **Damien... would you like to feast upon a few while helping your sister Nimena with a few unworthy guards of this realm? I am in need to go after an individual and I am sure she will not mind the back up.** he then looked to his love and after kissing her on the cheek. "Stop just inside of the trees my love. I wish you and Damien to take care of those outside of the Tavern... I have an appointment to keep. I DID after all tell him I was going to kill him if he went close to our daughter again." He winked and waited for her to do as she was directed. He was then going to teleport into the Tavern but into the hearth that was lit at this time~
Lord Blackheart : slowly pulled his self down from the tree he had been resting in, after teaching his student a few spells of protection, the man's arms reaching back up to the branch so he could right his self again. His motions were almost fluid, and flowing like water as he lifted his body into a backwards rotation, the man now seen in a crouch on the branch. "I honestly thought I would never hear you ask, my friend." He spoke, his words echoing with what could only be described as an ethereal pattern. "I hope my brother is not too busy, to notice a few more visitors." He chuckled, the man now leaping off the branch, his body sent into a forwards flip, before he landed next to his sister and brother in law. Brushing his self off of some dust, and needles from the forest, he would stand his self back at his full attention before the two rulers. "I may be a little rusty, since I don't usually feed from the veins anymore, but still." He would nod his head in respect to them both. "Thank you for this opportunity."
Crimsonkyu : "Alright i heard you the first time damn it , just wait a min." Slowly getting out of the chair as he got to his feet a few drops of blood would hit the floor. Placing the book in his coat as he would wipe the blood away again. Making his way towards the door he would look through the peep hole and see it was Athena and her bear. Taking a few breaths as she was just pounding the fuck out of his door. Placing his hand on the door nob he would open the door quickly and give her a light smile. He would not Say anything only walk right up to her and wrap his arms around her and hold her tightly, whispering softly in her ear " I am sorry, please forgive me again". Leaning back as he would give her a kiss on the lips if she would let him. There was so much he wanted to tell her, so much that she needed to know. He was not sure if he could tho, so for the time being he would leave it alone and enjoy Athena and everything that she bough. Her craziness, mood swings , chaos, dolls and her bear. "Please come in" D>
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Her head tilted to the side. He looked.. weird. Something was off. She cleared her throat and shifted around awkwardly. Scuffing her boot along the ground. " So um.. Yeah um.. " She rubbed the back of her neck. Her eyes slightly narrowing as she attempted to get the words out. It was a really funny sight. Athena never apologized for anything. She spun her tales and twisted minds until her victims thought it was their fault. " So I..." She began but was cut off by the sudden kiss. And the hug! It was a surprise too. Awkwardly, Athena patted his back with her right hand. The books still clutched in her left. " I'm... S...Sorry too.." THERE! She had said it. She had said it.. and she didn't like it. It left a sour taste in her mouth. Made her stomach hurt. It was an experience she wouldn't revisit any time soon. "So I saw the king in the forest..yesterday. With some forest nympho. He told me he was sparing.. didn't look like sparing to me.." She chuckled and stepped inside[[d]]
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : "Were outside, he is inside...." She told Damien as she kissed Lucien on the cheek. "Damien you go right...and I will go left...since your always right ..." She said as a sarcastic joke but hey, why not be funny, it took the focus away from the pain. Nimena made her staff appear in hand and started heading in the left direction of the tavern. As Damien went right she went to take out the few guards and she started stabbing them with the end of her staff through the throats.
Mercenary A : One however saw her from the bushes as Lord Glacious anticipated her arrival. Thinking she was the one that reversed the spell. The guard came up behind her and slid over her head a golden snake that solidified into a collar around her neck.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : She gave him an elbow to the nose and as soon as she stabbed him in the throat she felt the collar tighten around her neck.
Lord Glacious : looking out the window. "~If I go...you go~" Would be telepathed into her ear
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : she wanted to warn Lucien but her headache got worse and she fell to her knees wanting to call Damien as well but couldn't focus to call out for assistance as Damien was busy with the right side of the tavern. <e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He looked to Damien and smiled slightly as he then nodded to his love and as the two of them split he would be within the hearth of the Tavern where he would see Glacious. A narrowing of his eyes as he would have two of his Fire Elementals go after the guards that were with Glacious but he would spew on out from the Hearth itself and with a fiery bastard sword in his hand he made a play for Glacious, himself. He was not going to let this bastard get away **Nimena... put a shield over the Tavern to keep this bastard within it.... Nimena... ** he did not like the fact that he could not get a hold of his beloved or that he would feel something was not right... **Damien... Where is Nimena?** worry lacing his mind felt words to the male while he continued to charge Glacious with a criss crossing of that bastard sword.~
Lord Blackheart : frowned at his sister's sharp jab, though when he felt the lady's energy slowly be taken out of range, he knew something had gone awry. His hands firmly around a guard's throat, he growled low, before he licked his index claw, his own blood from his tongue lacing the edges of it. As the guard went to strike him with his blade, the man would jab his claw through the man's carotid vein, the man licking his finger once more, to rid his self of the evidence. "Guard or not, you could use a rest." He spoke to the falling guard, the warrior's eyes closing, as the man swept around to the left side of the tavern. "He may not like what happens after he wakes up, but it's for a good cause." It was here, when he saw his sister in the midst of a battle herself, the man now growling once more at the sight of the collar around her neck. "Dirty trick." He began, the man now reaching out towards the one who had placed it on. "You there." He spoke, almost calm despite the fact he was here to do his job, his eyes flashing with a gradient hue of vibrant crimson, several flecks of gold dotting the iris as he advanced on the man. "Tell me, is there any way to remove this thing from my sister, or shall I read the information from your entrails when we are through with your friends?" He chuckled, but noticed his sister's reaction to killing the man. "Now why would I do that, when we can let him watch his friends become dog food?" He inquired playfully, his attention once more on the man. "What's your choice, vermin?"
Crimsonkyu : He would lead Athena and her polar bear inside and show her to a chair that she could sit in if she wanted to. Crimson would take a seat in a chair that was across from here, just before he could sit his leg would give out and he would fall into the chair. " Wow was that an apology from the great Athena " He would say with a light laugh. " You did not do anything wrong for you to need to say your sorry. it was all my fault for not stopping to talk to you when i saw you in the forest. "Raising his hand as he would lightly cough into his hand and then see blood. Using his ability over blood he would make it vanish. " So what brings you to my shop , and you say the king was with a forest nympho. Wow i did not take the king for someone who would do something like that ". He would notice that she had some books with her as well " A bit of light reading there " He said as he pointed to the books she was holding , as he would pull out the book he was reading before she got there and open it again to pick up where he left off. D>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : She couldn't talk and while Damien was speaking with the guard...
Lord Glacious : took his sword and swung up at Lucien's attack so they would clang swords as he spoke out. "You look a little worried your majesty, having trouble getting hold of your nosy little wife?" He asked with a smirk continuing to speak out. "She is mine now...you kill me she dies too...." He said with a laugh shoving his arm forward to knock Lucien backwards after standing in stance waiting for the man to cringe, growl and hiss, what that fire ball normally does on a daily basis. "If you would have stayed out of my way we wouldn't have to resort to this Lucien..." Lord Glacious firmly stated as he continued on. "And the council will know how many guards you had killed....what a terrible king your making out to be....Your majesty..." The last two words he said sarcastically with a diabolic chuckle.
Mercenary A : In the meantime the guard outside in Damien's hands unfortunately didn't have an answer for Damien so he remained silent
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : After Lord Glacious's laugh the pain in Nimena's head started to grow more intense as Nimena cried out and kind of fell to the side because it was becoming unbearable and she couldn't focus. <e>
Ɗɾɑƙƙʚɳɪϟ : With sexy time being interrupted with a bitter halt, A tingle ran down his spine and it wasn't from the ecstasy he was given. Drakkonis would hiss and growl lowly, Those tendril's that wrapped around his beloved's wrists and leg's would soon release and pull up around him swallowing him whole. The male clearly not happy about something and soon he disappeared from his and Tacita's room in Felgrande, Immediately he would appear before between Lucien and Glacious. Staring directly at the male and narrowed his gaze, With a tilt of his head to the left a crack could be heard. The crimson gaze filled with a tint of orange, The shadows dancing about the tavern. "So...Glacious...you wish to collar my aunt...and proceed to FUCK WITH MY FRIEND GISSELLE!!!" The tavern would shake and rumble, His finger's twitched and flexed multiple times as the shadow tendril's that had brought him here melded with the shadows of the tavern. Though that was not the end of it all, Drakkonis would hiss and continued on. "NO ONE FUCKING TOUCHES NIMENA AND FUCKS WITH MY FRIEND!!! BUT ME!" He would yell at the top of his lungs as he brought his hands up and jerked them inwards towards himself summoning not only the shadow tendril's but rips in the void that also sent it's own little tendril's out to wrap around Lord Glacious's body and limbs, The void tendril's would wrap around the arm's just above the elbow and just above the knee's. The void tendril's would then CONSUME the space they occupied around the limbs and amputate him, Drakkonis would slowly turn his head to the left to look over his shoulder and gave a nasty grin. "Oh...he's not to die this day...He will wish he had...but...This man will not..." The creature would then walk over to Glacious whom would by this time be suspended in air by the tendril's, He would then lean in to become face to face with the disgusting creature.<e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : He had been shoved back from Glacious only to suddenly have... "Fuck sakes!" he whispered under his breath while looking towards Drak and growling lowly... "He IS to face the courts.. Drakkonis!" He did not raise his voice but it was flatly given towards the male....
Lord Glacious : Just as Glacious was put into the tendrils which he would have summoned a light spell from his very deity but it did not seem to last long as he grinned and intertwined around his limbs as he let out a blood curdling scream of pain. But before this had happened his eyes gleamed and within Gisselle's room the white roses would begin to give off a lovely scent of death. "I go.... others go with me!" Then that blood curdling scream...
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : It was then that the imp within Gisselle's fire place would not only come from the flames but also would summon one other imp to grasp onto the hand maiden that was in the room as well. The first one to swiftly go towards Gisselle and all it had to do was touch her and teleport her out of the room with the hand maiden being done the same way.~
Lord Blackheart : took the silence as meaning he would take it to his grave, so that's just where the man would take him. At this moment, he was provided with a task, and he was going to see it through, the man's body turning slightly though, when he heard the rising voice of his son nearby. This brought him more options, as the man turned to face his sister once more. A few of the tendrils would cover the darkness as well, the man's body completely surrounded by them, the inky black shapes now forging the man a set of second skin. His body was now draped in shadow, a few pieces ripped off from it, to show the tanned flesh underneath. Long, almost pure black strands waved about to reach the middle of his back. Two tendrils of his own emerged from his back, the slithering forms each with their own eyes and mouths filled with sharp teeth. He gestured sharply for his sister's collar, the tendrils lashing outwards, gripping the device in their jaws, before it snapped in their teeth. Despite that his lower jaws were covered by a metallic looking guard, his voice still could be heard as clear as if it were removed. Twin, almond shaped slits of flame and gold softened when he reached out towards his sister's face. "I believe it's your turn." He nodded. "If there's always a little bit of light in the darkness, than let us show them their angels." He spoke, those slits narrowing once more, before he sprinted inside, those tendrils lashing out, as he reached out with his clawed fingers. He was not happy about this.
Ɗɾɑƙƙʚɳɪϟ : "His fate is worse than death King Lucien..." The male would then turn to look back at Glacious, But then chuckled as he continued on. "If he must face court then name me Court..." He would then punch the creature in the mouth, Allowing his flesh to soften enough for when teeth were broken Drakkonis would gather some pretty nasty flesh wounds on his hand. Bleeding into the male's mouth the blood would lubricate the orifice enough for him to slid his hand deeper into the man's throat, Though by this time Drakkonis's fang's had elongated. Jerking forward he would bite into the man's collarbone area, Black substance would start to snake it's way through Glacious's vein's and create Drakkonis's mark. Though the blood that had been dripping down the male's throat wasn't given to him willing per say...but it would due the trick, After a few moment's of bleeding down this man's neck Drakkonis would rip his hand out of the throat and busted mouth of the person whom was suspended in air. "This is why...you don't touch my friends...or FAMILY!!!" The young man would then use that same damaged hand to now BACKHAND Lord Glacious. "You are now my bitch...Lick the bottom of my boot...or suffer..." He would narrow his eye's upon the man.<e>
ζцɕiєɳ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ : His fiery gaze glaring at the male Blackheart only to then feel the ominous feeling of Damien approaching the Tavern as well. He would pinch the bridge of his nose as he then put his flame bastard sword to his back once more. "Do as you wish with him BUT... IF I need back up of what the hell happened to him... will you be coming to back me up?" he then started to walk towards the front door and opened it to let Damien within only to glance on over to Drak for confirmation of answer. "I think I shall go see how my wife is doing for I am still not able to get a hold of her. " glancing to the black creature that Damien had become and though he was feeling chilled he was trying hard not to actually shudder from the aura the male was giving off. "Damien... Nimena... she is alright and where is she?" he would ask for his worry was no longer for that of Glacious but that of Nimena instead.~
Lord Blackheart : frowned when the man was lowered to the ground as requested, though as he was, the man would then strike out with one of the two jawed tendrils, its serpentine form ripping the male's body from the ground, to hold him in the air before the both men. "You're not even worthy enough to lick the bottom of my son's boots, now that I think of it, scum." He would spit out, the man crossing his arms towards the man being held before them, his son's tendril on one side, while his own was keeping the other in the air still. Casually, the man would advance on the so called lord, his clawed fingers out, and his body leaning forward. "Since you decided that the lives of my family, my friends, and those in our kingdom are not important, why should yours be an exception to this?" He hissed, the man's remaining serpent gnashing hungrily towards the lord, before the man sent his claws out, marring the man's face. "You mean nothing to me." He hissed. "You are nothing but an insignificant little worm, though you may have your uses for him" He smiled, though it could not be seen through his facial guard. His voice had softened though, when the ruler spoke to him, the man quickly standing back at attention after he had marked the man's flesh with several large gashes. "Indeed I will be assisting you, brother." He spoke, his fist drawn up to his chest, clenching before he sent it towards the suspended man's stomach. "Your wife is outside, and she may still require assistance." He informed the ruler with a nod.
Ɗɾɑƙƙʚɳɪϟ : would turn as his father started beating the shit out of Glacious, He would chuckle and looked towards Lucien as he was starting to walk away. "Of course Lucien, That's what family is for isn't it?" The male would proceed to walk past the King and soon stopped before looking over his shoulder at the suspended male. "You know what's worse than being collared?" Drakkonis would ask before continuing on. "What I did to you..." The male would then narrow his gaze and proceeded to walk once more while still talking to him. "What you have to do is...Listen...and do everything that the Blackheart family want's of you...Willingly...or unwillingly..." The creature would then stop once again and opening a portal once more, He would chuckle and shake his head. "Dear father when you are done with that...thing...please return him to Tacita, I am sure she will love to have a thing to play with..." He would nod and step through the portal, Drakkonis now returning to Tacita.<e>
