A place that is surrounded completely by water, the Eydis Island holds wonderment that has yet to be entirely discovered by any human in the world. It is a place that has been seen only by the rarest of vampires, but one of them has been the Empress herself. Discovering this place, she has turned the island into a miniature paradise, the sun not able to harm those that would wish to see it once more within this island. The waters that surround it hold many wonders of the age, sea creatures both great and small roaming in and out with the rippling tide that there is upon it. On the tropical island, there are the rare creatures that have been thought to not exist, but here they live in peace, and it is preferred to allow the natural life to be preserved here. Come and enjoy the sunlight here when in possibly other places you might not be able to.

Lilliana's eyes fluttered open at the sound of her loves voice. "Erik..." her voice made her seem as if she were a fragile girl and not an immortal, or nearly immortal being. A sad smile touched her lips as she forced herself up into a sitting position. Her eyes settled on Elias whom was speaking to Erik "Elias....where is Nicolette at?" She wasn't sure whether or not he would tell her but she figured it was worth attempting to find out where her master and maker was, the one being she both loved and hated was Nicolette. "I wonder if that's why her mother's sprit is so drawn to my own." she whispered to her self as she slowly stood....
Nicolette sighed, she knew she shouldn't have brought the subject up but her obvious fears should have been acceptable, at least she thought they were normal. After all she had never really come in contact with too many women vampires who had given birth and the subject deeply frightened her, she could hardly imagine Elias trying to raise their infant without her. "I love you Elias." She whispered with her hand rubbing her rounded stomach. She could hardly wait to hold her babe in her arms, even though it was a little early to be thinking such thoughts
Elias looked over at Lilliana and sighed softly " she's out In the water she'll be in shore again in a moment . " his voice a bit happier then Eric's it always was . He was the one that was more open and caring Eric was always reserved and kept to himself . He sighed and looked out at the water he smiled at his mate before walking into the woods of the island . He closes his eyes and took in the sents of it all . His body acted on its own as he moved quickly as he took down a decent sized deer enough to feed the four of them easily . He began to walk back slowly was he enjoyed the silence of nature .
Eric looked over at Lilliana and smiled softly " rest love you need it " he said softly his voice much warmer then it was when he spoke to Elias . He knew it was nothing more then a matter of time before she turned again , all he did at his point was charish each moment he had with her . His eyes when out to Nicolette they were pained but yet held a cold uncaring undertone . He wasn't afride of death nor did he regret anything he did threw out his life . He looked back over at liliana as she sat up , he sighed softly as he knew he couldn't stop her at his point even if she needed rest .
Nicolette formed a bridge of water, making her way to the shore. "Lilliana, I am here. Don't fret so much." A soft giggle escaped her lips as she walked to Eric, wrapping her arms around him and hugged him. "All will be fine." She whispered in his ear to help ease his mind, the last thing she wanted was for the atmosphere around her to be tense. Releasing Eric she turned to Lilliana and held her hand over her forehead to induce instant sleep, as Lilliana fell limo she carefully laid her in a bed of leaves for comfort. "You should really start listing to Eric." She giggled and looked at the sky her heart warming to the idea of having Lilliana and Eric around and together at least when the baby's born. Her blonde hair fell slightly in her face as she looked up at Eric, "I can give you a dreamless sleep so you can rest with Lilliana for the rest of the evening."
AS she awaited his response, Nicolette gazed at the trees and the small animals that fluttered from tree to tree, it was the calmest most beautiful thing she had been able to look at since arriving in Vampire Kingdom.
Eric watched as the girl he had fallen for a girl he would protect with his life no matter what fell into a sleep . His ears twitched as he heard nicolete speak ." No sleep is something I learned to live with a minimal amount of . My days of being a man slayer had shown that sleep is for the weak and Thoses who need others to protect them . The protectors never rest " his voice was a bit cold but yet had a warm loving tone to it at the same time . His eyes had heavy bags under them from years of sleeping enough to get by . He sighed softly as his hand gently ran down the worn hilt of his sword . The wrapping around it was staines brown from ages blood and torn at many points . He looked up at her for a moment before speaking " once Elias comes back I'm going to go for a walk alone " he said softly as he looked out at the ocean in front of him .
Elias sighed as he walked back to the group his kill on his shoulders . " I'm back " he said softly his face still having a few blood spots . He got in front of the two of them that were awake still and dropped his kill in front of the two . He sighed as he ran back into the woods quickly and came back a few moments later with enough fire wood for the night . He sighed and set it up getting it ready to burn . His eyes closed as he placed his hand out allowing a small blast to light the wood . " I'm guessing she's out for the night ?" He asked softly as he began to cut the meat from the corpse of his kill placing it on a small stick so it could cook evenly .
Nicolette sighed, she knew Eric would kill her for this later on. At this point she didn't care, he looked so drained and his features were far more distorted than was necessary. "Forgive me someday." She whispered, her hands summoning the water filled with sleeping minerals as she touched his shoulder, sending him into a deep sleep. "Both should sleep until body and mind are fully rested." Her eyes sparkling as she gave Elias a sheepish childish grin before taking a chunk of raw meet,draining the blood from it.
Eric looked at her as she summoned the water ." No no you don't damn it " he said a bit coldly as he felt her touch him . He looked at her trying to fight off what she did but it was clear he was loseing this battle . " you bitch ...." His voice trailed off as his body fell to the side of his loves in a deep sleep . His face was close to hers and his arm fell around her body gently . His body was limp and relaxed as it held his love with out knowing it . " I love you " his lips whispered As his he rested a deep sleep a dreamless one at that .
Elias watched what Nicolette did and he shook his head a bit " he's going to be pissed once he wakes up i hope you know " he said with a small laugh . He took once piece of meat off the stick and placed it on a small piece of mid he had burned till it turned into something like glass . " eat up love " he said as he laid another slice of meat on the stick and sighed softly his red eyes reflecting the fire softly . His body was relaxed as was his mind as he thought about his child and how his master was still with him after all the years ." Love I find it odd master is here with us still as is liliana after everything that happened , I mean you did kill her once before And yet you brought her back why ? You could have easily left her and master would have went off alone again like he always does ." He said softly
Grinning Nicoette shrugged, "I don't care. He needs his sleep and needs to stop worrying so much about when Lilliana turns again" Her voice was sharp as she spoke. Bitterness swept in as he looked at Elias, he was turned because of her, all the things he was forced to do was because of her love for him. "I'm sorry love. I didn't mean to inadvertently drag you into this life of mine." Reaching to him she caressed the heart she had made for him and smiled lovingly. "I'm glad I found you again." A faint giggle escaped from her as she curled up to him as he cooked, her hair falling slightly in her face. Weariness slowly spread through her body and she lay against him smiling into the fire.
" love it's ok you don't have to say sorry . I'm happy with our life no matter what happens " his voice soft and relaxing as the fire cracked cooking the meat to a decent char . He smiled as she rested her head against him . " I love you always " he said softly as he removed his chunk of meat from the fire and set it on another small glass like piece of earth that he made and began to eat . He relaxed in the cool night air his body rested and fed and his mind at rest for the first time since they had stopped travling threw out the kingdom . He looked over st his master who it seemed even in his rest was watchfully protecting the girl he loved ." It's kinda sweet even in his rest he protects her like she is a precious jewl in his cold eyes " he said softly to himself just speaking out loud .
"It's really cute." Nicolette smiled lovingly at her mate, wiping blood from her pale lips. "I am sure that he will meet someone better in the feature." A cold eeriness filled the air as she lay her hand on her stomach."The baby says so." A faint giggled escaped her lips as she looked at Elias. "I love you, and I really hope that your master need not lose his love, as much as I hope that our baby is born healthily." Resting her head on his shoulder, genuinely exhausted after all the traveling they had done over the last few months. It was hard to believe they had mated and remained together since they met. Not a single fight had even broke out between the two of them.

An warm island breeze caressed Teles over her pale glittering skin. This island was perfection and paradise. Teles had traveled through the forestry to reach the shoreline. The blue ocean matched with her own piercing gaze. She dug her toes deep into the sand. Excitement built up inside her. Her black hair fell to her shoulders. Her curving womanly body was covered by a thin silk robe that fell just above her knees. The sky made her want to shoot into the air and lounge on the clouds.
But to be honest she missed the ocean. She freed her nude body from the robe. Slowly she submerged into the water. Teles sighed with sheer relief. Her cherry red lips was pressed permanently in an enticing flawless smile. The water rippled against her as water droplets fell from her face and hair. It had been a long time since she had swam. The sea always seemed so far away. Suddenly she began singing. Her blue eyes turned a striking sliver that reflected the sunlight. Why hadn't she found this paradise long ago? It was almost too real. Teles relaxed her body and floated on the water, blocking out the rest of the world.
Flying high above a black dragon like creature circled the island . spotting a girl he circled in a dive and swooped back up. making a few more passes it landed onthe beach . its large claws dug into the groundas its large black scaled wings thrust down sending a large gust of wind tearing through the air.
Looking around the dragon raored ash bellowed from its mouth and into the air.. Breathing heavily ash flows from its noaustrals. its figure slowly changing as a man forms from this large scaled dragon. flesh falls and blood spills onto the beachs sand . as a pale man is formed from the dragons body. the flesh and bones forming into ash as they hit the ground and slwly seeping back into the young mans body. as the mans body is being formed he roars laoudly and falls to his knea. his body covered in alchemic symbols and scars.
As the mans body is fully formed a large puff of ash being inhaled by th eman. and then surounding him. like a claok. the large boned wings from his back folding and molding behind his back and into his own flesh. tilting his head he lets out a yawn and stretchs. walking along the beach he spots the young lady again. "interesting, and yet this island looks like the pace of my queen." he sighed and smiled as he walke dalong the beach slowly. not wanting to desturb the young lady
Flying to the remote island had been quite an ordeal, but she had managed to make it, and as the night had come forth, Zillah seemed to be completely at ease. She was wanting to be able to at least take him to a place that was really free of life, or at least of those that would be not harmed should the demon want to try to come free, and she had secretly said to those that might try to listen to her silent prayer, "Gods and goddesses...those that I wouldn't want to immediately wish to be swallowed by the darkness...give me the strength and guidance to aid my once student and now claim. He does not deserve to have such a demon to be within him." She kept her eyes closed as she had started to move to the land, opening her eyes as she had stopped just short of landing on some palm trees. She looked behind her to see of if Zadkiel had caught up to her or not, also wondering of if she might have gone too fast as well, and worried of if she had.
Zadkiel had only a little trouble in keeping up with Zillah in the start, but he quickly made a good pace and never let her out of his vision as they traveled. It felt surreal to be doing something with her again after so long and the fact that she wasn't taken back by what he'd become helped add to it. She really was his closest friend and she really did care for him it seemed. Smiling to himself Zadkiel landed a few minutes after Zillah did behind her and made his wing push some air toward her in a playful manner. "Where have you taken us Zillah? This seems to be far from the lands. Very excluded from everything else." He wasn't complaining. The sights around him and the sound of the water were a relaxing change from where they had just been earlier. He might even get in the water to remove the blood if time permitted it.
Feeling the wind suddenly from behind her, Zillah smiled, then moved her wings back, sending a quick gust backwards towards him, but with the gust, she made them look like small butterflies, in a remembrance of Dahlia, the one that had taught her the element of wind. "I've taken us to an island that is at the edge of the kingdom. There isn't many people at all, if any at all that have really come here. Lucina had first found this place, and wished to give many a place to go for their own taste of paradise. We can stay here for a while, so if you feel a need to relax, then this would be the place to do so, the only other place being another place where night is eternal." She had remembered of that place, and had remembered of the small time when Luna had once had a physical form as well. She had not seen her so happy, and never asked of what had happened to make Luna come back to being with her, nor of why she had chosen to once more go back to the heavens. She wouldn't ask either, and only turned, moving her wings to be within her back as she then would watch to see of what Zadkiel would do, wondering slightly of how Atlus will react when he finds out of Zadkiel being within the kingdom as well. She figured that she would leave it as a secret from him for now, just to help Zadkiel, just in case of if he didn't want to let him know.
Seeing the butterflies Zadkiel tilted his head slightly. He hadn't seen something like that in a very long time and now understood how Zillah had come to have a control over the wind. One of the old royalty by the name of Dahlia had taught her. He was slightly curious as to what all she'd been taught by everyone as he'd now seen; Ice, Wind and Fire plus her healing ability. Maybe they'd all taught Zillah an element?
"Well I will agree that it does seem to be a paradise of sorts. Isolation from the busy streets and a nice breeze and water I could relax here for awhile." Focusing for a moment Zadkiel groaned out as his wings sealed themselves away once again. He was going to hate that feeling everytime he had to bring them out and hide them away. To his surprise the outfit he was wearing seemingly repaired itself when his wings where gone and it suddenly looked like the elegant clothing had never been torn. "A nice little trick.. So now that those are out of the way what shall we do? Or maybe you can just tell me about what has happened to you. You..already saw what has happened to me, but I am willing to answer any questions that you might have." He actually wanted to talk about it, but it didn't seem right.
Zillah stretched herself slightly, just trying to relax, but though she was trying to relax, she was also at the same time trying to get herself to get past the small feeling that she had from the feeling that she got from him, of the demon feeling being around him. Thinking that it was better to have that feeling there just in case of when a demon and not him would show, she ended up leaving it alone, and moved her hands to be closer together before then giggling, and making a large orb of water before throwing it at Zadkiel. "Well, there's a little bit to relax by, care of learning the ability of water by Xeldin. I am sure that you would have remembered Dahlia by the butterflies within the wind. That was where I had learned that ability from. I'm not sure of if I had ever shown you of being able to use those abilities or not, so just in case, I have revealed them to you, telling you of who had introduced them to me. I learned lightning from Tear, one of my students because of saving his life, though I have not used it in so long that I think that it would be best to probably forget the ability. Because of knowing wind and water, using them both together, as you have seen, I can create ice, though I do not have the ability to make ice without both of them together. When I had been exiled, I had gained a small amount of power here, and learned from one of my claims, actually rather forcibly by absorbing the power within me, of the power of poison and darkness." She smiled a little, more of an apologetic one than anything else. "His powers were out of control, and in order for me to help him, I took it into myself. I had quite the tribal markings from it. From the darkness, I learned also shadow magic, but of course, like the lightning, I have not used them in so long that they are best forgotten. After learning of the darker magic, in order to keep my sanity, I forced myself to learn holy. I of course still use fire, healing, and my ability to summon dragons mostly, but should I ever need to, I have many other abilities at my disposal. Many years have taught me these abilities, but I would rather have some be forgotten by time." She smiled a little, trying to just wave it off as if they were not so important, and said, "You know that you can ask me any questions as well. I am not entirely sure of what questions to ask you, other than of possibly...what do you want to do now?"
Zadkiel wasn't exactly looking at Zillah as he was to caught up in taking in everything around him, but when he heard her giggle he knew something was up. Just as he was about to turn and face her the orb of water caught him in the side of the head and he yelped in surprise. "Pffbt...I see how it is. Cheat by using your powers." Grinning a little he made a ball of snow drop on her head as she was explaining her powers. Zillah apparently knew much more than Zadkiel had ever guessed as it seemed that she had covered the entire element list. She even knew light and dark which in itself was no simple task. His respect for her grew even more with each second she explained things to him.
Because of the water his coat was now wet and for some reason Zadkiel felt that it would be fine to remove it and his shirt so they didn't get anymore on them in case Zillah wished to hit him again. Turning away from Zillah for a moment he slowly unbuttoned his clothing and slipped it off exposing the toned and sculpted muscles. His back showed the markings of where his wings would come out as well as the mark that was on his shoulder, but besides those Zillah would be able to clearly see his defined and cut features. Never before had Zillah seen him like this and in the past he would have never done so. This was just an example of how Asmodeus had helped Zadkiel ease out of his shell of being a closed up knight. In truth the body that Zillah was now seeing hadn't been changed much at all. Asmodeus had merely highlighted a few areas here and there to bring out his appeal to people. Finally turning back to Zillah and exposing his chest to her he smiled as his now wet hair cascaded onto his flesh slightly covering his left eye.
"I know that I can ask you anything. You taught me that long ago. I ask that you ask me things as well though. Its only fair that we both share things."
"At least it was warm!" She shivered as she moved the snow from her quickly. She used fire in order to warm herself up, and prepared to give him a colder ball of water, but then paused at seeing his back suddenly. She had never seen him have no shirt on in the entire time that she had known him. In fact, the most she had ever actually seen of his skin had been his hands and his head. Had this demon actually caused him to no longer have as much restraint as he once had? Seeing the markings that he had on his back, she memorized them almost on an instinct, hoping that where his wings came out would one day not be painful. As she had seen him turn around to face her, she blushed a little, and looked at his face quickly, keeping focused on his face. She had forgotten about the water, and it now splashed onto her from it becoming slightly out of control, soaking her almost completely. For a moment, she had coughed from the lack of air, but she was a little grateful that it had cooled her off, for she couldn't help at the thought that she had found herself staring at him before her own power had made her focus. She shook moved her hair from her face, managing to get it to be behind her then, and she took in a few breaths before she said to him slightly, "I apologize on that. I guess that it was a little more than slightly surprising to see you actually reveal more than just your hands and face. I guess my power had reminded me that I still had that water there." She laughed a little, and tried to divert any attention away from the matter that she had in fact stared. She then quickly asked, "I am sorry to ask of this, but how is it possible that you are that comfortable to reveal your body in such a manner? I have never seen you reveal anything of your form before, and now you do it so leisurely."
Zadkiel was sure he'd seen Zillah blushing for a moment and when he really looked at her he was right. She was blushing. It made her look...cute? Cute? That was new to him. He'd never felt the need to say cute before. He knew that the demon had done this, but at the same time he actually wasn't mad about it either. Laughing loudly as the water Zillah had brought forth splashed back onto her Zadkiel grinned stupidly. "Hahaha, it seems you aren't as all controlling on the elements as you make it seem. Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong." He was clearly teasing her and playing around, but both of them could tell that it was different than in the past when they were joking. Zadkiel did indeed seem more open and free than he used to be. Until Zillah had asked her question Zadkiel hadn't even really thought twice about exposing his chest. It just seemed...natural. "I'm not sure. It just seemed like a good idea at the time considering you were getting the clothing wet, but now that you mention it.." It was his turn to blush a little and run his hand through his hair nervously. "I'm sorry...I umm..I can of course put it all back on if you don't like what you see." As soon as the words left his mouth he almost looked surprised at what he'd said and then blushed harder. Sooooo you've finally started acting like you should. Well at least I don't have to influence it now. He could hear Asmodeus say inside his head.
Zillah blushed at both his teasing and at his last comment. she said to him, "Well, if you feel comfortable in leaving it off in order to dry, then you are free to do so. I will not hold it against you. Now, as for your teasing though..." She then moving both hands into the air, and as soon as she had done so, even though she had built up a large orb of water, fire had moved around her body, drying the clothing to help in making her able to move once more easily. "Not able to control the elements, ha!" She then threw the large water orb, it being twice the size of her at the moment that she threw it, and pushed it faster with some of the wind element, making it also a bit colder. She was going to at the least enjoy of playing around with him for now, and would make it a habit to learn to get used to him being a little more free than he had once been. He was more constrained before, always keeping things to himself, and not really seeming to be anything more than what he was... a knight that had been only guarding whoever he was told to guard. She had plenty of guardians at that moment, and though at that moment they had not really been around, only her first lady only being around at all in the recent days as she had seen, Atlus having been within her private chambers still recuperating from being changed into a human, it was seemingly rare for her to really find anyone that was a member of her court. She was strong enough to protect herself, and it was starting to seem that within this kingdom, she was only here in order to just give people a place to call their own and that was it. Once, a long time ago, she had been more actively able to help others, but now, she seemed useless. Zadkiel needing her aid made her feel wanted once more, and within her deeply, she had been glad that he had appeared in the state that he was in.
Well at least she wasn't freaking out about his words. She even seemed to slightly encourage it. When Zillah moved her arms up Zadkiel slowly moved and made himself ready. He'd open up a can of worms as soon as he saw the water orb being formed. Wonderful she's going to try and drown me. Well I guess I did ask for it didn't I? He said to himself before letting his fingers become ice cold almost becoming pure white. As soon as the orb was shot off at him he moved his hands out and caught it almost having his hands knocked into his chest. Luckily Zillah hadn't actually been putting her real power into it as he was able to stop it and flash freeze it, but it still required him to put forth a bit of energy for it.
Grinning a little and tossing up the now frozen ball Zadkiel kicked it up into the air higher like it was a childs' toy. He did this for a few times before smashing it with his hand when it came back down. "Come on then. Let me see what you got. Of course I know you can beat me, but I can still try." Zadkiel chuckled as he gave Zillah a friendly challenge letting the ice build up over his skin a little not noticing that it had the faint color of the demons taint.
Zillah looked at him, and for a moment, she hadn't even thought of wanting to try to use any power, but just of wanting to have some fun with him. Hearing that he was wanting to see of what she got, she bit her lip a little, worried of just what all that had entailed for him. She didn't want him to be hurt at all, and at knowing what the limitations were within the kingdom, knew that he wasn't able to take too much without hurting himself. She closed her eyes, and thought of where the line might become. Opening her eyes, she watched the ice on his skin, and it was different than the white that had been on his fingers. She worried of that, but would try to hope that it wouldn't hurt him. Making another large orb of water, she smiled, but then as she had moved the water to throw it, she giggled before then it shot out, splitting into many small shots, splitting for some to be like butterflies while others were like shards, so that he wouldn't be as prepared for them. The rest of the water she threw fast towards him as the rest of the water, not being as large as it had been before, but still a little large in comparison to the first time that she had thrown the water orb. Once she had done so, she had moved her hands down, moving them behind her back so that she could slightly manipulate the water that was behind him in the ocean order to surprise him with it. She would take the retaliation that he would give her for this, of course, just to see of what he could do, but he had asked for her to show him what she had, and she had felt that if one wouldn't get him, something would eventually.
Zadkiel laughed happily as Zillah seemed to take his challenge. This was something he was sure he'd remember for quite a while. As Zillah began to make another orb he danced his fingers around in the air watching the lines of frost appear and disappear. He wasn't sure what exactly she was going to do, but he was sure he could deal with the water for now. As soon as she shot the orb and it split apart into many different things Zadkiel gathered energy into his arms letting it flow from deep in him out into the flesh of his arms and hands. "Interesting..." He mumbled as he became focus on his task. It took a few moments, but he brought his arms back and then quickly flung them forward the energy gathered and his power over ice flying out as well to completely crash into the large remaining part of the water that was left as well as shoot into the butterflies like arrows. "You know I do Ice. Water has no chance against me Zillah." Zadkiel grinned as he saw that he'd taken out almost all of her water though not able to get it all as some of it landed lightly on him.
"I know, but I don't want to use anything else on you, lest you be harmed. Besides, isn't the point of this place to just relax?" She then quickly moved her hands up, and as she had moved her hands up, her hands were glowing, and suddenly a large wave had come up, being a moment from crashing onto the shore from were Zadkiel was standing. She shot off a lot of water in front of him, making a wall of water so that no matter what, of whether he had gone forward or backwards, that he would get wet with water. Moving herself then to jump into the sky, keeping herself there in a hover with wind, actually getting slightly winded from using so much of her abilities after such a long time of not using so much of it. She wondered of if she would be able to possibly make some kind of arrangements to have more than just her and Zadkiel to do such a thing, so that more people would be able to relax in such a manner, but for now it was going to be all for them. Readying one last orb of water, she readied for just in case of if he would attempt to just jump into the air to get away from the water, so that she could soak him in that way.
"You do have a point. This is fairly relaxing considering all things." Zadkiel smiled but then stopped when her hands raised up once more. He heard the large wave of water go up into the air behind him and silently cursed himself for forgetting about the abundant source of it around them. To add to that matter Zillah was throwing more infront of him essentially trapping him in. I guess I have no choice in the matter. He told himself before crouching down a little and focusing. Just as the large wave crashed over him Zadkiel released the ice on his skin and all of the water going over his body and head froze. It looked like an iceberg was in the middle of the wave as it washed over him and then pulled back out and left Zadkiel trapped in a rather large and solid piece of ice. Zillah would be able to see him within it and she would also see the cracks start to form in the ice as it suddenly shattered out into the air in the form of small water and ice particles. With the light hitting it it seemed like the air was filled with sparkles which slowly drifted up and around Zillah seeming to dance around her before disappearing. "That was a good one Zillah! I barely had time to react!" Zadkiel called up to her with a smile.
Zillah watched the display, then giggled before she then made the water that she had fall down, making it as rain, and showing a rainbow where the ice sparkled around her. Once the ice had disappeared, she dropped the water, and slowly moved down to the ground, the last bit of the space to the ground she had decided to just drop down to. "Well, it's better than me giving you absolutely no time to react, and it being something more than water. You might be getting a little slow, so I think that you will be having to get a few more lessons in order to work on your speed." She laughed then, and moved to go more inland. "Well, what now? I think that I would like to do without using all of my abilities, for while we are indeed on this island, it is away from land, and as it stands, away from an ability to drink blood from anywhere that is not a donor or of a lake. So, I would suggest to not use up too much of your abilities until we get back inland, unless we were to find something that would aid us in having blood here." She began to walk towards the trees, and into the small thrush of forest that there was.
"Yes you do have a good point, but me getting slow? I don't think so. Your power just far surpasses my own now, but if you think you can help then by all means do try. I won't complain." Zadkiel said smiling as he walked up to her. " I guess now we go and walk around. Explore a little maybe. I don't think that requires using our powers. Though I would imagine that you need to show me to your current home soon enough and do the routine introductions and all that. Unless you've changed and no longer introduce everyone to each other." He was picking a little fun at her again as he followed her closely unable to stop himself from looking over her slightly from behind.
"I haven't changed that much, Zad. I have been able to relax here, and many times those that have become a claim of mine have never even appeared before me, so I have attempted to keep those that are of the higher members of my court knowledgeable of who the lower claims are." She was lying slightly, and paused in taking her steps, fidgeting with her skirt to in a manner as to make someone think that there was something on it, even if there wasn't anything actually there. She moved her skirt down after a moment, fixing it to once more be right, but then she felt a sudden bump from behind her. He had ran into her it seemed from following too closely, and she had wondered of why it was that he was following so closely in the first place. Was it because of her playful jest at being slow, and so was waiting for her to start to run, or was it of making sure that he wouldn't get lost within the lust forest that was in the island? She was unsure, and so kept herself looking forward as she had asked him in a light voice, "Why were you following so closely?" He was a bit more free about things, and yet she was not sure of if he would be able to answer her very freely in that moment. The feeling of his torso directly behind her had somehow made her nervous, an almost shiver running through her. It took a great deal of mental strength to keep it from doing so, which made her wonder of why. She had remembered that a long time ago he had an unrequited love for her, but why was it affecting her so? Was it perhaps also the demon that he had within him that was also attempting to try to make everything also make everything magnified? She knew that she would need to get this demon out. She would have to ask him soon, so that she could in fact try to figure out of why she was starting to have these strange emotions towards someone that had been a student for so long, and now was a claim of hers. She would not allow him to be hurt because of her, not after all of the pain that he had already gone through, and now she started to regret Alexandria not taking some of those memories.
Hearing the nickname Zad made him grin a little. It wasn't often he was called it and it was a special thing between them. He was glad that she was fairing well, but didn't like that her claims were not appearing. It showed a lack of respect and he couldn't stand seeing someone disrespect her in such a way. Maybe he would do something about it if he got the chance to. At least she seemed to have enough followers to actually have her own court instead of doing every little thing by herself like she had once been trying to. Zadkiel was so wrapped up in his own thoughts and looking her over that he didn't even notice that she'd stopped for a moment until he bumped into her his bare torso coming in contact with her. A sudden rush of heat and feeling filled him as he felt her body touch his in a way it never had.
When Zillah spoke and asked him a question Zadkiel actually blushing fiercely before coughing a little, "I guess I got to caught up in my own thoughts and thinking about other claims you had." It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the entire truth either. There was no way he could ever admit to her that he'd been looking at her body in such a way. He was more than certain she would take offense to it and then their peaceful time would be ruined. "It won't happen again. I promise." He quickly added moving back just enough so that they weren't touching anymore, but his body refused to let go of the feeling of her against him. It made him feel calm..collected..at peace again.

An warm island breeze caressed Teles over her pale glittering skin. This island was perfection and paradise. Teles had traveled through the forestry to reach the shoreline. The blue ocean matched with her own piercing gaze. She dug her toes deep into the sand. Excitement built up inside her. Her black hair fell to her shoulders. Her curving womanly body was covered by a thin silk robe that fell just above her knees. The sky made her want to shoot into the air and lounge on the clouds.
