- The falls, being a relaxing setting for all whom come. Mist rising and falling almost as if the falls was breathing. Many scents and sounds, all soothing and exotic swirl around. As light hits the falling waters, it reflects small rainbows in the mist, also causes the water to look blue or purple. A wonderful place to get away and relax.
Skeptically looking at him a moment, she relaxed her hand that had been poised over her dagger's hilt, and finally relaxed once more, a long sigh escaping from her lips. She moved to sit down, leaning back against some rocks that were nearby as she had been able to calm herself for only a moment, and said to him, "This fight is one that is mine alone...consider it as a form of pride for me. You wish to help me, then help me get over my deepest fear. That is the only way that I could think of that I could let you into this fight, for to do otherwise would to make me seem weak and like a coward." She was already like a coward, asking for help, but in this manner, if no other way, she would at least find some form of way to get over that great fear that she had over fire. She wasn't sure that she would be able to get fully over the fear of fire, but at least she was going to try, and as she had looked towards this man Jiang, she wondered of if he would help her in that. If he would agree, he would be the first person that she was going to in fact put trust into willingly, as well as be the first person that she had done so by choice instead of being forced.
Jiang nodded and smiled at her. Honor was something he understood. If she didn't want him to actually do anything as far as fighting he would respect her wishes. "Fair enough. I understand your desires. I do have an idea on what I can do to help you with that fear. Well a few ideas, but this one might work the quickest." Reaching into his clothing he produced a makeshift necklace with an object that looked like a cherry blossom and held it in his hand. "I have a natural affinity to Fire so let me try something.
Moving back from her Jiang began to summon up fire into his hand that was holding the necklace. His entire arm burst into flame before slowly the flames seemed to be eaten by the necklace. This went on for a little bit of time before Jiang tossed his hand back in surprise as his arm once again burst into flame. It took him a moment before he started to laugh. "Well, of course chaos would get into it wouldn't it?" Picking up the necklace that had now burnt a hole into the ground he stared at it. "This should help you. It'll absorb fire when you hold it and focus with it, but if you use it to long...well you saw what just happened to my arm. So use it as a last resort or an escape." Smiling he extended his hand out towards Valentia and held out the necklace. "But for some real help we should find somewhere more open and less able to catch fire. I can help train you for the flames."
Valentia was glad that he understood the aspect of honor, and wondered of what he was going to have for an idea on how he would help her with her fear of fire. "A full blooded demon always has a natural affinity to fire, it's in their blood." She retorted at his comment, though she did admit that the necklace looked pretty. Seeing the fire immediately made Valentia move far from Jiang, hiding from him within the water, her form once more shaking from it because of the necessity to get away from it as fast as she could, and didn't see as the necklace had eaten the flames up. the coloring of the sky changing back to normal had shown her that it seemed safe enough to come back up, and she came up just in time to hear him state that the necklace would absorb the fire. She wondered of what had happened to his arm, but didn't want to see another time of it happening, and so she only moved her hand out, hesitant at first. When she had managed finally to take the necklace from his hand, she had noticed that his hand, though firm, was also soft, as if it hadn't been worn from battling and using a sword for a long time. It slightly unnerved her, wondering a little of how that was possible, but regardless, Valentia moved the necklace around, and place it on her, looking at the simple blossom flower that was on it, and said slightly, "Thank you.." She had thought of this as another weapon to use in the manner of defense, and after a moment, said to him after looking up, "I will return this to you when the training is complete, or if it becomes unable to be used anymore." She didn't know of if it was meant to be kept or not, and asked soon after, "Where shall we go to do this training? I will warn you though, I want a place that has a lot of water around me. I hate fire that much..." She wondered of if it was even possible that she could get over her fear of fire, for even on thinking of it, it made her flinch, but if she was to fight Murrock, she would have to.
Jiang frowned when Valentia dove into the water. That was going to be a massive problem in any form of helping her get over it. He'd have to take this at snails pace it seemed. When she finally returned from the water and tentatively grabbed the necklace he smiled at her, "It will absorb the fire, but only for so long. Do not over-use it." He repeated to her hoping that it set in. Noticing the touch of her fingers on his hand he enjoyed the feeling of her delicate and nimble fingers trained after hour of assassin work. When she said thank you Jiang scratched the back of his neck slightly grinning, "Think nothing of it. I'm glad to help. You don't have to return it either. It's a gift."
Moving and gathering his things Jiang thought for a moment. "Well, I do not know of where we will be able to go right off then. We will have to explore and find somewhere I would guess. Besides helping you with fire I would like to see how well you fight in general. If it's a full blooded demon you want to kill you need to practice with one." He smiled after saying that figuring she would understand that he was willing to help in anyway he could.
"A...gift...?" She had never gained a gift before, and she looked at the necklace, and for the briefest of moments while she looked at the necklace, a faint blush came upon her cheeks before it once more disappeared. She looked up to him before then moving herself to look around, and said slightly, "Well, I don't know of this place, so I am not sure of if there are any places that might have a great deal of water around and have the ability to train. Since you are the one that is to aid in my getting over this fear, I suppose that we can go somewhere that will be good for practicing in fighting against a full blooded demon." She stood still, her posture showing him that she would be ready to leave whenever he was ready to go, but that she was not sure also of where there was of a place to go in this area in order to go.
Evan wandered in slowly looking around very relaxed yet still on edge. He had a small smile on his face as he sat at the edge of the falls looking down. He had made the dive a hundred times yet right now he wanted to look around and take in the atmosphere. He closed his eyes and leaned back as a large dragon flew over head and landed right behind him. The dragon snuck up closer and closer until the dragons' large head was looming over his own. Evan lifted up his head as the dragon laid beside him letting Evans head rest on the dragons large belly. "Hey buddy..." The dragon licked his face lightly as Evan chuckled and pushed his massive head away. "Hey stop it... Times are going to get rough soon. I just need you to know that. I don't know what will happen but I can't promise you will be safe anymore. Someone will be coming sometime soon and I know you won't like who the person is but you just need to relax and let me handle it." The dragon huffed in his face and then laid his head back down. Evan sighed and looked up to the stars taking a deep breath as his mask disappeared. He let his green eyes shine in the dark looking up with his own eyes for what may be the last time he can without his mask. His back bulged and his white wings burst from his back letting a white light shine around him. Dim but still lit. He knew his wings wouldn't get out for a while as well since he would need his massive dark power to protect himself. He knew since Lucifers blood was within his body that his dark power would rival his. Breathing slowly his wings bent in the dirt, he moved to lay on his stomach looking over his home.
Jiang took a few moments to think of a plan. He was still new to the area so it would take him some time to find somewhere for them to train and fight, but it didn't seem like Valentia was going to complain about it. Moving and grabbing his gear he quickly put it back on and adjusted it accordingly. "Well, we may be traveling for a little while until we can find a proper location, but if we can't find anything today I would say we stop somewhere to get something to eat. No use in making the day a waste. That is of course if you are willing to come along with me. If not we can work out some sort of way for us to contact one another."
A sudden appearance of a dragon in the area caught Jiang's attention and he twisted in place to look at the majestic creature. This was a first for him. He'd never had the chance to see a real dragon. Of course he'd heard rumors about them and heard the wondrous tales about the creatures, but seeing it first hand was breath taking. "Amazing..." He mumbled slightly before turning back to Valentia. "So, the choice is yours Valentia."
Noticing that there was someone coming to the area with a dragon, and knowing from looking at a picture book that dragons breathed fire, it was only natural that Valentia had wanted to hide behind Jiang in those moments, wanting more to actually make her way away from that area a bit faster now that there was another there as well. "I don't mind that there will be some traveling, as long as I can learn to be able to get rid of this fear eventually, and be able to once and for all defeat the one that has plagued my life of terror and pain. I don't know of this kingdom either, and so let us only go of where the wind will take us. Fire doesn't like wind, and so if we follow the wind, it will naturally lead us away from fire instead of towards it, don't you think? Perhaps also if we follow our sense of smell, we might also find an ocean, or a great body of water, should this place hold such a thing." She said coolly, though she didn't know of if there was such a place as that. Not wanting to stay there though, she started to move towards what she knew of as forests, and only slightly glanced back towards Jiang, asking him, "Are you going to venture with me or are you going to only make me try to learn on my own? I guarantee that if I learn on my own, I will not be able to learn much at all other than of learning where maybe only one or two places within this kingdom." She said to him. She waited patiently, though she had not entire patience, for she had worried more and more of the dragon being in the area, and not wanting to find out of the dragon breathing fire, wanted to leave the place as fast as she could.
Lilyana whom had become overwhelmed by the inclosed tavern, left with out a sound. Her midnight cloak around her, her daddy's bow across her back, and arrows in their quiver strapped to her hip. Lily, stopped to to pulled the hood of her cloak around her head and to rolled up her emerald, green skirt and tied it
Once done Lily set off into the woods so she could explore more of the land. Exposing her white, skintight trouser and her light tan, handmade, animal skin boots. When she finally reached a clearing.
Lilyana, found herself faced with a spectacular waterfall. She smiled at the beautiful water painting its landscape, water flowing around rocks and stuck fallen off branches. Pouring its beautiful blue paint into the pool of water, grey-ish/white mist rising and falling. Streams from the pool, being poured out from the bucket of life to paint there own pictures out in the forest. The trees full of life stretching as far as they can towards the twinkling, night sky. Smaller plants bloomed with wild intentions; Berrys, flowers and many more colors of life.
So beatiful so peaceful, Lilyana though
Lily's exitement grew more when she saw an exiting site, smile growing wider. She spotted a dragon laying with an angel, both lay on there stomach's.
Lilyana, approached masking her foots steps with her power of wind, in hopes that she would not scare them away or cause them to attack her. When Lilyana was no more or less then 15 feet away she removed her bow and arrows to place them infront of her as a symbol of peace, she ment no one harm.
"May I have permission to sit with the both of you?" Lilyana asked
Evan heard the conversations of the two below the water fall and relaxed chuckling looking over at his dragon with a shit eating grin on his face. "You don't breathe fire do you?" The dragon Heath also laughed in a humanoid voice and belched letting a black flame shoot into the air. Evan smiled to his dragon and patted him on the back. Evan was relaxed and knew even thou he was vulnerable Lucifer wouldn't hit him blindly so he didn't mind. He heard the woman coming from the distance and smiled. Her power of wind not doing much for his senses. He was practically a dark god even thou he was part angel. He could control elements and even the forbidden elements. Everyone who had known him in the past had noticed this. He sensed the girl was new and knew she didn't know. He played it off like he was an angel and let his white wings shine lightly. Before the girl put down her bow he didn't look behind himself and spoke as if no one was there. "I wouldn't drop that bow if I were you. Peace may be in this Kingdom for right now. It won't be for long." He smiled and sat up cracking his neck and relaxing against his dragon. The wings folding back inside of his back and leaned against his dragon looking over to the girl. He had bright emerald eyes that seemed to pierce into her soul. "You can sit if you like thou. I have no problem with it. You just may want to keep that bow handy. Lots of bad people around here and I know I'm one of them." He looks up to the sky knowing soon their would be another war. The only difference would be that he would be the one on the wanted board instead of the justice wanting to take them down.
Lilyana smiled as the dragon let the dark flame escape its mouth. Frozen when the Angel told her to keep her weapon on her. She watch him crack his neck, then rest against the dragon, the angel's wings disapearing into his back.
How amazing, Lily though. Who is he? What is he?
When she picked up her weapon. Exicted about the approved invitation to her question. Lily smiled, squealed and in a blink of an eye she had moved seven feet closer. She placed her bow back on the floor and sat infront of it.
Lily smiled the same smile when Dimitri had explained to her that he was a bad person. Her smile had grew even wider, anyone could she what species she was. Shortly after the bad person conversation, Dimitri had explained to her that he was a vampire and her smile grew.
"I would have believed that your are a bad being," She bore her humorous grin into those emerald green eye of his and continued, "But I don't believe that. You didn't attack me when you new I was approching. Of course you would know I'm coming. I can't mask my foot steps from you, I'm only a 3 year old vampire and I have much to learn. Compared to a more powerful being like yourself, you could have killed me in an instant if you wanted to."
She paused to let what she had just said sink in. Her eyes, wandered to the beautiful waterfall painting. A light smile was on her lips as she wandered about Dimitri.
Where is he? She wandered she felt the winds beginning to shift around her, lily began to feel sad. She disrupted the feeling before it was stronger than the person infront her. It could have gotten so strong that even he may not be able handle her. She was told to watch what she does as a young vampire because if she loses control nothing but a powerful old being to a god could stop her. None of the younglings would have survived trying to stop her. Her eyes had changed from her silver and green eyes to pure silver, she new the Angel would see it, she didn't care, she new he would understand. She looked back at the being and dragon. She shook her head to rid her self of the frown and a smile took its place and she changed the subject.
"You had mentioned the kingdom may not be safe anymore and you seem somewhat troubled. Do you believe something bad will happen?" She glanced up at the dragon. "Do you believe this as well mighty dragon?"
OOC: Watch grammar and spelling. I was told when I first started back 5 years ago so just a helping hand before someone may tear you a new one for it. Really read over what you said. Spelling far more important then grammar. I'm not the best with grammar so I make up with spelling :P)
Evan still didn't really look at the girl. He had taken many under his wing and knew he would need an army soon. Evan sensed her pure wild power. It was new and fresh. It could be tampered and molded easily to his liking if he so chose. He looked to the sky as a dark mask appeared over his face quickly. The mask radiating and extreme dark power in a small area. He controlled it enough to make sure the others below them couldn't feel the darkness and only sense it. The dragon looked to her as she asked her question and rolled its eyes. It was a long story how this dragon came to be. All Cumatra users would have a dragon that was dear to them. They would use their dark power to implant the soul of a dead loved one into the dragon. Making the dragon a life long partner for someone who may because of the circumstances of the dark power, may go crazy and kill their lover or friends. The dragon Heath muttered something in a different tongue and flew off. He was never one for company but neither was Evan. Evan just tolerated it because he knew that he may have to be a little nicer to protect himself and form a new order in the kingdom. Evan looked up to the sky watching his friend go. The words cut into it's side saying "Cumatra Killer." The words were readable for quite sometime for her to notice it. "He agrees. Even thou he doesn't want any part of it he will fight. Everyone will.." He mumbled the last part sighing and looking over to the girl for the first time or a long period of time. "Even a new blood like you." His words were dark with his mask on. His eyes were black and the area around them seemed to lose light and also lose the warmth of the sun. "I used to be the leader of the Black Knights here in the Kingdom. I protected the Kingdom for years. Then I left. I left for reasons you don't need to know and then when I arrived. Their were more demons then ever and even better... Lucifer had taken over the Kingdom. Yes he has protected it but would you trust a demon?" His words were harsh and a dark tone. He had a past he wasn't going to get into with Lucifer and knew it was only a matter of time that if he is here. He will hunt Evan down and quell and remnants of the Black Knights that he tried to stir up. The Black Knights protected the Kingdom and now that the Demons were running it. It may be time for the Black Knights to be the rebel force and rise back up and take their rightful place. He spoke calmly in the third person his voice seemed to be in her head. He always used scare tactics on younger vampires to see if they were ready to be taken and trained or if they were still to weak. He didn't care if they were volatile as long as they had heart and were strong. "He eyed the girl from the distance watching her every move. If she looked away he would strike but something was different." The black aura around him increased and then vanished along with him. His voice still speaking slowly into her head. "He didn't need to fight the girl. Nor did he intend to kill her. The only problem was." His body pressed against hers from the back she felt a sharp knife against her throat. "It was so easy." He stood there wondering if she would panic and slit her throat or if she would trust him and stay there with his blade to her throat. Trust was a huge thing for him. Everyone under his command knew that he could kill if he wanted. Only did they know he would never kill without giving the person a fight? Or did they know he would never kill someone he considered to be a possible Knight.
OOC: dick move. She doesn't even know of having any powers evan, and the wings in the pic are decoration. I really should change that up. ^^ now, if you want to go with spelling, 'thou' should be 'though', since thou is like saying you in retrospect. ^^ destiny is the grammar nazi here, where as I am not, even if I sometimes have my moments. ^^'
Valentia was waiting for an answer from Jiang, but she was also watching carefully of the dragon that was above, with what appeared to be someone, a master, right next to it. Something had to have been said, for the male had looked over at the dragon, and a grin had been given. Valentia had not liked the grin, and immediately worried about it a moment before then seeing that there was something happening. The dragon had moved, and in that movement, it lifted it's head, opened it's mouth, and let loose a black flame. That was all that Valentia had needed to see in order to know that the dragon could indeed breathe fire. She had turned, and used her skills as an assassin to disappear within the forest that was within the waterfall area before leaving the area entirely, only leaving a kunai with a small paper at the feet of the demon Jiang, mentioning that he would meet him later. She did not wish to be around anything of fire, and until she would be able to get over this great fear, she wouldn't stay near anyone that she didn't entirely trust either that had anything to do with fire as well.
OCC: I figured out what I did, its from all that modern texting now days :/. But I am watching what I write now. Angel is right its mean but he is a demon what do you Expect. Lol. Don't lose faith in her just yet.
Lily watched with a devious smile as the mask formed on the mans face. Then frowned when the dragon flew away, Cumatra Killer, imprinted on her brain. As she listened to the Angel speak the devious smile came back. She could sence his rage and what is this fear, no fear of her she was sure but of what...her sarrow grew for him washing over her like a tidal wave.
Her smile turned into a serious one, his voice echoed in her head lips not moving. This made her a little uncomfortable but not a lot. I mean why should it shock her. She is a vampire surrounded by other dark and mysterious people. She grind at the though.
His disappearance made her go back to a serious smile, Lilyana waited for it. A knife was at her throat and he was pressed against her back. Lily turned her head slightly so he could see a fraction of her silver eyes shinning like a full moon with no center, but not enough to cut herself. A giggle escaped her light red lips.
"I would not do that if I were you Demon Angel. I think you showed your true nature a little to quickly there," losing some control due to annoyance, the winds began to shift in a whirelwind form around them, ripping the hood off her head sending her dark red hair dancing in the wind. The wind was not kind, it whireled in a way any human would not want to be there. She giggled, saying the next part as if coddling a child, "Someone lose their temper?" Her voice switch back to serious "or are you just trying to scare me? I'm assuming the second option cause you don't seem the type to lose your temper. Well, its to bad for you isn't it. I've heard about your kind Demon Angel. Yes, I could trust you. If I knew you better, I'm only reading you, it is a different story to know someone. Plus you are not the only one prepared."
Lily had a seconds notices of his next location. In that second she was able to snap an arrow out of her quiver and point the sharp end, behind her back, up at his gut, it was long enough to reach his heart. Lily knew that of course it may not kill him but it would hurt him bad. This was the problem with others they ALWAYS underestimate her. When ALWAYS appeared in her head the whirelwind picked up, a stray wind slapped the demon hard across the back of his head. She maybe young but she had been threw a lot on her quest for dimitri.
Lily flicked the bow tapping his gut. Letting him know what she was talking about.
OOC: I'm trying to at least save her from Destiny. I have awful spelling and grammar and it was worse when I started doing this when I was 13 lol. God she tore me a new one. It was absolutely awful. I'm just sitting there like...Should I just quit now? I was claimed by Destiny... I felt like i should have just hung myself... :P
Evan relaxed and smiled at her grin and her giggle. He was glad she was tougher then she looked. She seemed a lot like him in many ways when he was a young vampire yet still so weak. The thought of the wind made him smile and groan as the wind slapped him in the face and the arrow poked at his gut. He growled lightly at her calling him a demon and sighed. "I only lose my temper with a few things. The thought of losing a loved one and being called a demon. I'm half Vampire half Demon. I'll never side with that scum as long as I live. If I was even a part of them i'd take my own life." The wind around them died out quickly as the wind tinted with his dark aura circled her and him. He smiled watching it and then in the commotion he gripped the hand with the arrow and thrust it into his own stomach with one hand quickly letting it pierce all the way through and out his back. He smiled at the pain and then broke the arrow and pulled it out the other side all in three quick motions with one hand. He moved the dagger from his throat and walked in front of the girl. "Be careful with elements around me. The old Empresses son was strong with the elements to begin with. I taught him some of...the...more.. well..." He snapped his fingers as a slight nose bleed occurred. He knew it was forbidden element in the Kingdom but he had grown accustomed to it a long time ago. The nose bleed stopped a few seconds later after the blood had reached her upper lip. "Call me Evan." He stood in front of her weaponless the dagger that was win his hand seeming to disappear. He stretched out his hand as in a flash of black flame his mask along with his shirt disappeared just for a split second to allow a new shirt that wasn't stained in his blood to appear on his chest. His wound healed almost completely only leaving a small mark now. He yawned and sat down looking up at the girl his mask gone and his eyes a beautiful emerald green. His eyes flashed black for a second as Evan cocked his head to one side sensing something. "Was the one who turned you named Dimitri?" He asked as if it was everyday conversation for someone to be able to pry into ones mind without meaning to. Evan had the problem of listening to thoughts. It's said when he was a murderer before he went to Hell one of the reasons why he murdered all of those villages of people were because he could hear to many thoughts in a place he enjoyed to go. He would wipe them all out and not even feed from them. He'd sit there and relax in the place for some time and then would be off on his way again. The only time he was caught was when he stayed a little to long and attacked a demon village. He was brought to Hell quickly and then many know the rest of the story. "A woman by the name of Katrina turned me. Long story short she left and then died I suppose. I can never sense her anymore but that was a reason why I left a few years ago was in search of her. Then the demons took over and now here I am in a predicament. Claim my place as protector but be hunted in the process or sit back and relax? It was never in my liking to sit back in relax. I had protected this Kingdom since I first met the Empress. I still will do that for her. However with Katrina gone and no one to teach me I channeled my power into something far more sinister. I created the power of the Cumatra." He looked over to her smiling as he spoke. He had told his story a hundred times to new vampires. He muttered under his breath finally realizing something. "God...I'm getting old."
When Lilyana Saw the Demon Angel smile, it made her giggle more.
It’s a good smile, she though.
The loss of her power made her slightly uncomfortable, but pleased that it was tamed. Her auburn, straight hair to its place along her face reaching just past her shoulder line, frizzy in some places but not noticable. Lily felt even more uncomfortable when he shoved the arrow threw his stomach and out the other side. When Dimitri was named, she smiled a beautiful smile a smile of love for Dimitri. Lily stopped him before he continued to tear off to scrapes of white from her Whit trousers making them almost even in height. In a flash both of them were wet from the waterfall, she cleaned up the nose bleed then proceeded to clean up the mess she made out of his chest, she took her seat noticing the shirt was replaced.
Duh, she though, an extraordinary being sitting in front of her.
Lilyana listened to his story, knowing she would remember it because it was similar to her own. She applauded at the end and smile from ear to ear. She hoped up to her feet and said,
“A pleasure to meet you Sir Evan, My name is Lilyana, if you so chose, please call me Lily.” She took a dramatic bow, her smile began to melt slowly as she spoke. Lily struggled to keep the cheerful tone in her voice in hopes he wouldn’t notice but knew it would fail. “I don’t know if Dimitri turned me, but it was planned that way. Three years ago, I sat on a park bench waiting for him. It was the night he was supposable turn me into a vampire. But the next thing I knew I was in an ally, with a dreadful hunger and blood running down my neck, with no Dimitri he promised to be there but there has been no good information on him. I was turned but by whom …I do not know. This is the quest I am on, to find Dimitri and whom I am. I have had some information but they have led me into an endless circle. All I know is I was lead to believe Lord Daemon could help me. I do not know how he will though, I have yet to meet or see him. ” By this point her smile was twisted upside down, she caught it and reversed it. “But I know I’ll find him, or at least who I am. Plus at least Dimitri prepared me for the transformation I have controlled my black outs well. I drink blood from sinner humans and none other when it is needed the most. Though I had to walk away from the Gathering tavern it was too overwhelming. Too much blood in an in closed space for me right now but it is progress. I shall warn you though I do tend to lose control. My blackouts, due to starvation and my powers, which I am sure you have noticed, due to emotions. I lose my control when I am sad angry or annoyed, but you will rarely see me angry. Oh joy I’m rambling now.” She giggled and grinned. “I do apologize about the wind slapping you across your face; it was not in my control. But, I will learn to control it.”
Evan looked over and moved beside her listening to her rant and ramble. He chuckled lightly as his mask appeared in his hand. The mask appeared to be living it was breathing and then cackled at the thought of her finding out who she was. "Cumatra stop." Evan looked down at the mask which he had called Cumatra. The dark power that he had created turned out to be a slightly living thing. The darkness within him would be consumed by the mask for later use. If he didn't wear it for some time during the day the darkness within him would turn him crazy once more and cause him to kill millions again. Luckily the mask couldn't be destroyed and could be re created if broken out of thin air. He sat and listened to the girl babble and stood up stretching lightly offering his hand. "What if instead I help you look for Dimitri? No need to talk to Daemon. In return you join my brigade of Knights. They will be under the same name as they always were.. only now they will be causing more chaos instead of trying to stop it. Sound ok to you? I'm fine if you side with me or the demons but everyone sooner or later will have to choose a side. It will be a new world order or a quelling of the threat like the Kingdom has done for thousands of years. Not a single faction that has tried to rise has ever taken control by force. I'm hoping the Knights rise once again. I'd like you as a new blood to join your roots as Vampires then join demons." He spoke again as if this was an everyday conversation for him. He looked to the girl with his mask in one hand and another hand outstretched. "I'll teach you all I know about the Cumatra. It will be impossible to defeat us if we stand as the Cumatra." Evan smiled to her and looked down at the mask which throbbed dark energy. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He knew the more people he taught the more of a toll it would take on his psyche. He ends up for every new student taking on their darkness and forming it into a mask like his. Only because the masks are created from his power he ends up taking on more darkness then he may be able to handle.
Lily, was hesitant. She wanted to find out who she was and even more to find Dimitri. Listening to Evan made her want to join but the mask in his hand made her question. To put her soul into a mask...she understood his fear...he was afraid of being consumed by darkness. Lilyana has had no darkness since three years ago. Lily would not understand if she did not. So, she does understand. It is what made her to make sure she was never sad again. She was frightened for the first time, the unknown was consuming her. But yet he is still kind enough to offer her a path in life. A new way. Still hesitant she picked up her bow and hung it across her body the string across her chest, her quiver on her side. she reach for his hand then stopped an inch away.
"I choose..." she gained her confidence and placed her hand in his. "I choose to side with you. I trust you, I do not know why I trust you, but I do."
OOC: This is a short post because I'm just leaving the thread.
Groaning a little to himself Jiang realized that Valentia had vanished leaving him a note. "She really is that afraid. It's going to be a very very long process to help her, but I think it will be fun." Stretching and cracking his spine the demon adjusted his attire once more before reading the note and turning on his heel towards the way he'd come into the area. As he walked he nodded at the other two and the dragon being polite but not wanting to start conversation with them. "Now...where to go...where to go..." He mumbled to himself as he left the Waterfall behind.

Lacey smiled as she ran into the falls in her white wolf form. It had been forever since she had been to this place it felt good to be home. She finally phased to her 5 "11 tan human form. Her long blond hair hung down to her back even while it was put up on her head. Her stomach muscles quivered slightly as she stretch." My gosh it feels so good to be back. I wonder where my lovely twin sister is." She said with a smile and looked around.'my there are a lot of people here today' she thought to herself. She walked over to the water and sat down a good way away from everyone and let her feet dangle in the water."to swim or not to swim that is the question" she whispered to herself with a giggle. Then after a few seconds she stood up and shrugged."screw it" she said stripping down to her swim ware and jumping in. She floated around on her back with a smile as she thought about her family. The water made her skin look like it was sparkling. She closed her eyes and began to hum a song her mother use to sing to her and her sister softly,but somehow it still managed to be carried by the wind around the falls.
Morbius walked around the edge of the water, lost in his own thoughts., He hadnt been able to sleep again the night before. Not that he slept much anyway but he wanted to maintain even a glimmer of his humanity so he wouldnt be run out of the next town he visited. His ears perked up a bit when he heard a voice singing. He shrugged it off.
"Im hearing things now to top it all...."
He growled to himself. He was sounding pathetic.

Lacey accidently began to actually sing instead of hum. She had forgotten she was in a place that other people come to enjoy,but the water felt so wonderful that she forgot and was just worried about enjoying the water. She hadn't opened her eyes the whole time she was in the water. She heard a growl earlier but she just thought it was the water splashing inside of her ears.

Morbius came to a spot by the water and kicked his boots off. He carefully lowered his feet into the water and relaxed as well as he could. He hadnt noticed Lacey yet.
"Lydia wouldve loved it here...."
he shook his head growling louder
"Stop it! She killed you family....she got what she deserved...." he muttered

Lacey heard someone talking and thought they might have been talking to her so she stood up in the water and flipped her hair back out of her face. She then looked around and smiled."hmm" when noone repeated their selves. She went and stood under the falls and let the fast falling water run over her back. She groaned."mm this feels so good." She said to herself with a grin. She then went back to her humming as she let her head rest against the stone wall as you could see her muscles flex in her body with every movement.
lacey. Jumped slightly as someone yelled hello. She moved out from under the falls and looked at the man" um hello" she said with a small flick of her hand"I'm um Lacey" she said with a small smiled as her hair fell into her face and she blew at it in attempt to get it out of the way then finally she just gave up and simply put it behind her ear"and you are if you don't mind me asking" she asked cocking her head to the side.
Morbius smiled a bit back. . He felt a small sense of relief he hadnt been imagining the singing.
"I am Morbuis." he said
his voice came out in a low growling, drawl, but it was still clear enough to understand. HE felt his thrist begin to creep up. He would have to feed soon. But it wasnt an immediate threat. He had two hours maybe three.
"And you?"

She giggled a little " well I'm lacey. Nice to meet you morbuis." She noticed his voice came out in what seemed like a growl" are you ok" she asked looking at him a little bit sideways. She had never seen him before so she wondered if he was new to the kingdom. She rolled her shoulders slightly as her light blue eyes caught the sun and made the have a slight glimmer
Evan caught sight of the other two down at the bottom of the falls and consumed their small area with darkness. It would appear normal to them but it allowed Evan and his new accomplice to be hidden. Evan took the girls hand and smiled knowing she would side with him. "Those who don't know me tend to fall in love with me. Not a love of lust always but a love of friendship and comradeship. I'm sure the young bloods will join me even though the older bloods may side with demons. I'm a little reckless anyway and those who need teaching know I am the best teacher around. He cocked his neck and his mask appeared over his face causing a surge of energy to burst around the area. He smiled lightly and growled. "What's your favorite color?" Evans mask was white with a red design on it looking like random streaks of paint coming down. His eyes going black as he put his hands together in front of her. A mask like object appearing in the dark aura and coming into reality. It was blank and had no marking what so ever. When she said the word the mask would appear with the streaks of that new color and she would have her mask. She felt drawn to it as if it was stealing pieces of her. In essence it was capturing her darkness. She would always feel the same but the mask would always feed. The more masks the stronger Evan became. However the more easily mad driven he also became. He never knew when he could snap but he noticed his mask used to be a pearl white. Now it is slowly turning darker with every mask. "I've had four. One made for my ex wife. One made for my close friend. One made for you and..." He trailed off no one ever believed him at first but it was true. She had made the pact with him as well which is where he received most of his power. "The last was made for Empress Lucina. She is a queen now but she is still Empress to me." He looked to her as he held the blank mask in his hand. "Say the words. I am apart of the Cumatra. Say the color before and you are one of us..." He hesitated on the word us. Lucina hid her mask away even thou she was bonded with it and allowed him to feed still. She was his closest friend and ally but he knew she couldn't choose a side. Tazelle, his wife, was dead. His friend no where to be found and assumed dead. The truth was they were the first two to wear the masks together again. His darkness grew larger at the thought of Tazelle. Even thou she was gone...she was a demon. Even thou she was dead... he still had her power.
