Long ago, there was a war between humans. A woman led an army against her enemies, she yelled with courage as she fought. Sadly one of her enemies stabbed her right on her lower abdomen, a deadly blow, but before she could surrender she gave out a yell of pure courage and stood killing the men that surrounded her. Odin and Freya looked upon her and stroke her with a ray of lightning bringing her back to life and impregnating her with a Valkyrie baby. She gave birth to a baby girl, which she named Kara. Kara fell in love with a common man and created a small castle she called Valhalla, in honor of her parents. As Kara and her husband recruited more humans into their small castle, she finally took time to slow down and take care of her upcoming child. She gave birth to a female named Lailah. It was said that her golden locks and green eyes made her a rare beauty and a prize for any man. At the age of eighteen she met Micah, her soul mate. After so many obstacles in their life, Lailah and Micah wedded. Lailah had five children, Fatima, Isis, Sofie whose real name is Sofiel, Armaita, and Azrael. They grew in the castle grounds.
Fatima as the first-born, was automatically to take the thrown as queen once Lailah stepped down. Unfortunately that coronation never took place. Fatima's sisters left the castle to search for their lives. Which left Azrael and Fatima, but at eighteen Azrael left to join a vampire clan and Fatima stayed within the grounds till death bewitched the land and claimed her as well. The only survivors were four members or the remaining people who were Fatima's and her husband family. As Fatima began the transition to a vampire she left her homeland, but she herself didn't realize that her maker had ruined her home. Destroying everything that her home had cherished, all because he was obsessed with capturing the blood of the gods.
Valhalla is building atop a mountain. It is, however, more of a stern castle than a temple. Its most notable architectural feature is a tower with two curving giant horns. Also, the mountain is not as high, only about a mile, but it seems high enough, since the nearby peaks are even smaller, and thick mist usually covers the lower slopes. It is situated in the central mountain chain that surrounds the area. The boundaries of Valhalla extend upwards to outer edge of the ionosphere, and 30 miles to either side. It also descends underground for a mile; Valhalla is in effect a thin cylinder. The region is deeply forested with paths that lead to a hideout from the hectic life of the town.
This was once the home of Odin, king of the Norse gods. Though he is not here, he has resided in the heavens in a deep slumber. This castle among the mountains was left to his favorite daughter Kara, who inherited it to her daughter Lailah and husband Micah. The castle has now been passed down to their older daughter Fatima. This beautiful home is located far way from town and close to the dark woods, but far off from the lingering darkness. Three Waterfalls occupy the surrounding land. They are hidden among the forest that circle the mountain. Upon reaching the final bit of forested area, you shall come up against a dirt road that leads up the mountain. Once upon the very top you will find a lengthy bridge connecting the castle and the mountain together. The mountain is hollowed out; pillars of rock sustain the castle. Be careful when you cross and dare not look down, it is a long way down.
All individuals gain fast healing as can gain extraordinary ability when in Valhalla. When visitors come into the castle they will cross a bridge that sees a great lake under it. As visitors continue on they will see busts and statues of Valkyries around the castle grounds. Once you enter the main entrance you will meet the statue of Odin. A reminder of where the Princess ancestry came from.
Among the castle there are ravens that have stayed here and kept watch over the grounds keeping trespassers away. Aside from the ravens there is a dragon named Rose, who protects the grounds from darkness and those who dare challenge the sacred place will face her wrath. Plus there is an addition to the protectors of this home. As a gift from the heavens she has received ten different wolves, each representing a different element. Every wolf has being given to the Princess as a welcoming gift for her new son.

As he listened to everybody converse amongst each other, he appeared to watch and listened till they then left and headed outside to eat and talk, he then followed them outside, but instead of joining them in the coversations he stood away from the crowed and just appear to watch even though he is blind and only can see sound waves and movements he made it seem like he could see just to trick or mess with those who dont know he is blind, as he also listens to there conversations. He then sits down and covers his eyes with a blind fold as he then starts to meditate his aura rises as he meditates and was now a white color, from before when fatima first met Wolf his aura was a dark purple aura mixed with electric yellow and blood red aura's, but now his aura is pure white, but a strand of electric yellow aura still resides as that aura represents the power or element he controls...
Fatima had received Annabeth to her home and invited her to dine with them. Hearing her accept made it far more wonderful to have another one eat with them. Fatima watched things transpire as her dragon arrived and hesitating in receiving the offered of food to the fact that her brother had finally arrived. Fatima smiled contently as she hummed glad that she had someone of her family around. Azrael sat beside her and she felt the need to sit on his lap just like when he sat on hers when he was little. Controlling her emotions she listened as Gabriel talked about Rose's pets and it seemed that she was well protected other than Joshua. Gabriel, how is Joshua? Their marriage? After the two month of separation I was afraid they wouldn't marry so I ask because it has been a while since I last saw them or heard of them. She gave him a soft smile
Hearing the soft voice of Annabeth, Fatima looked at her apologize. There's no need to apologize, you may explore the lands and return to me when you wish. Fatima smiled at her softly as she shifted to that of a wolf and ran straight into the forest. Sending a silent prayer she hoped that Annabeth found her way around here safely. Fatima sighed watching as the fire licked the deer and roasted its flesh into a perfect caramelized brown. She heard faint noises and her fey ears twitched from underneath her hair.
Fatima hoped there wasn't an attack in her home. The guards didn't seem to cause much stir so she didn't worry too much. Settling back into her seat comfortably she suddenly jolted as a famiiar face popped out. Dimitri! You rascal. You could of being injured. Come join us we are to eat deer. She smiled softly as she adjusted her skirts and let her feet stretch out underneath her. Fatima looked around to see her lord Wolf meditating in the corner, she smiled glad that he had returned and that he was more in control of himself and for once she felt as he protectors were finally coming back to her once more. It was a satisfying feeling.
Azrael sat comfortably net to his sister, lacing his fingers with her and keeping her close. After he got married he lost a bit of touch with her to only worry about his son and his wife. Azrael had lived here while his son grew but still he found himself alone with his son. Azrael smiled at his older sister and watch her interact with everyone just like the born princess she was meant to be. He looked at Gabriel who had greeted him in a light tease. He had asked about Alira in a sense and he replied, though later she will venture here he found himself missing her more and more. Asking about the drinks he listened as Gabriel offered some of his own. Sweet is not my thing, so i'll try a bit of your's. He watched his sister stick out her tongue at him and he chuckled. Snatching Gabriel's drink and taking a swallow himself, the taste was different and certainly hearty. He watched the man who was cooking finish of his duties to only go for his swords and speak of being ready. Azrael arched a brow as he stared at Gabriel in question. Did I miss something? Are you to fight? He asked as he sat more comfortably and took a long sip from the stolen drink he had gathered.
Azurius stood with his swords hung over his shoulders,and turned to face the lord who was speaking,"I am Azurius glassgallow,i am a new claim of miss fatima,I hunted and set together a meal for her and for who ever cares to join,upon meeting gabriel and hearing his mention to act as a royal guard for the misses i decided to challenge lord gabrielle to a fight.
To prove my worth to miss fatima,so that i may serve as a noble soldier under the direction and command of lord gabrielle who will be in service to lady fatima,so as people eat, our fight that he has agreed to will provide enertainment for those who are present"
I also created the blood mead that you now drink,since a very young age i have lived on my own learning to hunt and fight,is primarily what i know best,all though i understand the diffrences between I and lord gabriells experince,but i have also stated earlier a fight is not challenging or enjoyable unless each participant fights to the highest of their current abillity.
If Lord gabrielle see's fit, within a few weeks i will hold a second banquet and also challenge yourself to a casual fight,which for that banquet and challenge if you choose to accept i will be much better prepared
He then gets up after meditating and joins everyone at the feast as he sits down, but touches none of the food as he then asks, "is there any water or something that has no blood in it?" he seemed to not want to eat or drink any kind of drink that had blood in it as he waited for someone to answer him. It was almost as if he was taking on a liquid diet only as if it was apart of his training in becoming a pure demon of his kind. His head band remained over his eyes indicating he was blind to those who never met him before. He tapped the table sending pulsations through the table to sense where everything was on the table such as cups, bowls, plates, ect. He then reached for the cup near him and waited for someone to let him know if there were any type of drink with no blood in it...
Gabriel was enjoying himself as he sat here with friends and people he considered family. They had excepted him when Rose was here and now welcomed him once again. He smiled before Fatima grabbed his attention, speaking about Joshua and Rose. He smiled to her before he answered.
They seem to be fine to me. I believe she mentioned them traveling into hell and having a traditional wedding there? I am not sure what the difference is but I am guessing since he is king there, there had to be some sort of special cermonies for royals. Twins will probably be going to the school eventually. I think he still fights with his darkness alittle bit though. I noticed there are certain things he is having issues doing again with her or afraid of doing like speaking thru her mind. But even though I was afraid they wouldnt marry like you were, I didnt doubt it would happen. Fate had bound them together with their own colored line as you showed me when Rose was born since she is younger then him. I am sure it would have found a way to have them married. Healing takes time but the wounds will heal and they will be fine. As far as forgiving Jason for his transgression, that is a totally different story.
He couldnt help but laugh out loud about that one. He had a feeling that his old friend from centuries ago would either never be forgiven or it would take another century or so. That was his own fault and he would have to pay for that crime against the couple. He looked over as a female that had just arrived decided it was time to leave. Then another male showed himself again. He heard Fatima call his name before he looked and saw her first lord Wolf join them but stay back some. As Azrael spoke of drinks, he couldnt help but chuckle at the face she gave her brother. It reminded him of Rose when she was younger. As he was lost in thought, he was brought back when he drink was snatched away.
Hey now! Not a safe thing to take a man's brew like that.
He chuckled before he moved to grab another glass and more brew for himself. As he saw down, he heard Azurius speak about the fight and being ready. Gabriel nodded softly and sat his glass down for a moment. The brew was good but if he was to show some skills, he would need to drink less of it. He looked as Azrael spoke of him fighting but before he could say anything, Azurius spoke and answered his statement. Gabriel nodded softly before he spoke to Azrael again.
Queen Destiny has released me from my duty as guardian. From what I know she has done that to all her royal court. I was offered the chance to see if my abilities could be used else where so I came here to your sisters. I have offered to become a member of her court and she has excepted me as her hereditary knight. Azurius over there would like to join as he says but you know your sister doesnt allow just anyone so he wished to prove himself and I suppose be trained under me. I trained soliders back home so its nothing new for me. All in good fun.
He stood up and gave Azrael a gentle slap on the back before he gestured to the chair if he wished to sit by his sister. Gabriel moved around the table towards the opening in front of the table. He didnt have a blade with him but he knew there was one at Rose's for him. He closed his eyes for a moment as he flames ran down the length of his arm and spread out from his hand to make the blade he had seen in his minds eye. He looked at the blade and gave it a twirl to see how well it balanced. Once he was happy with that, he looked at the male and spoke.
If we are going to do this, then we are going to start from the beginning like I would do with anyone. That means no wings, no magical abilities of any kind. Strickly blades and weapon know how. Do you understand?
He spoke to the claim and waited for his answer before they would begin.
Azurius listened to lord gabrielle,"I understand your rules lord,and i believe fighting within that fashion would be the best.
I have found many warriors who have such abillites will hide behind their powers due to the effect or lack there of,of the physical prowess,I belive if a fighter if he cannot fight on equal terms with another warrior,he him self is a poor excuse for a warrior.If your lordship will permit,should we create a boundary or ring,Or does the lady fatima have acees to a gladiator pit or training facility?"
Azurius begins to bind his wings,fetterin himself and making it impossible to use his wings,
Azurius walks over to the lady fatima and bows before her,"I bow in your pressence as you are my royal master, I lay my blade at your feet as i accept you ass my queen,I pledge my blade to your service if you find me worthy,And i pledge to my blade that i will fight to the fullest extent of my strength."
Continuing to bow, azurius sat waiting for either lady fatima or lord gabrielle to tell him to stand or do otherwise
Dimitri just smiled as bright as he always had as Lady Fatima spoke to him "Na not me, im not that reckless...." he chuckled before a man that approached him spoke of introducing himself before eating which made Dimitri raise a brow before looking back to Fatima not paying much attention to him "Guess he a new claim?" he asked but shrugged "I apologize for disappearing for so long, had to leave for my home, or was my home..." he shrugged as he glanced around and looked as if he was looking at everyone, but like always his eyes remained closed.
As he watched everyone he noticed that two was to spar which grabbed his attention quite fast "Oh a battle?" he asked himself as his head tilted then looked back to Fatima "Lady Fatima think i can try after?" he asked like a kid getting to go get a new toy before his ears hearing as the younger one had spoken of those who hide behind there powers and again tilted his head "I must disagree..." he chuckled "That of which makes a Warrior is one who'll do anything to protect, weather they hide behind powers or not they still fight to their best to protect either themselves or others.. I must ay its ones that says things like that, that is poor excuses of Warriors.." he shrugged still smiling
Fatima giggled softly as Gabriel and Azrael toyed with each other. It was nice that Gabriel felt like family, in all honesty he was family. Drinking her mead silently she watched as Gabriel and Azirus finally began to prepare for their fight. Hearing the rules made her frown and she wondered if she was a coward for using her powers. Shaking her thoughts she looked at both men and hummed before thinking of the arena. I do not have an arena here, but there is the demon training arena. It is open to those who wish to use it. She gave them a soft smile before adding. Sadly, I cannot leave my throne room unattended. Her smile wavered for a moment before looking at Azirus as he came forward and pledged himself to her. It was a nice gesture that he wished to serve under her royal court, but she knew nothing of him. How could she trust someone with her family and her home, let alone her throne. Fatima wasn't sure what to say so she simply nodded as she finally found her words. I bid you good luck to both of you in your fight. Raising her glass of mead she saluted them before looking at Dimitri. It's good to have you around. I must say I missed your eccentric entrances. She chuckled softly pushing strands of hair behind her fey ear. Hearing him wish to join Gabriel and Azrius in their fight made her look at him before at the other men. I see nothing wrong with it, but it is not really up to me but them. She whispered hearing Dimitri go on to give his opinion about using powers. Her heart race waiting to hear what both Gabriel and Azirus thought about it.
Azrael grinned as he stole Gabriel's mead, cheering him he leaned back in his seat as he took a drink of a very tasty drink. Looking at the claim who had made him made him smile and offer him a cheer. Very nice job I must say. I am sure your dear will taste just as good. Azrael couldn't really eat food, but he would take the word of a dragon and anyone else any time. watching as a man named Dimitri entered Azrael nodded at him before enjoying his stolen mean once more. The dragon shifted stepping back into the bushes before laying down and watching things transpire. Seems Rose has an idea of eating and sleeping. Don't distract yourself too much my friend. Laughing he could see a slight glare form in those purpled hued eyes. Shaking his head he listened as Gabriel and Azirus prepared to spar. Azrael would place all his bets of Gabriel, clearly the man was skilled and his physical spoke about it. Best of luck my friend. He smiled at Gabriel as his sister gave them the right place to take on their fight. Best be careful with the demons. He hummed knowing Gabriel knew what he was talking about. Hearing Dimitri wanting to join made him arch his brow before looking at his sister. Clearly you are more popular. His statement earned him a blush and he smiled before looking at the men waiting anxiously for them to fight and name a winner.
After hearing the news that Princess Fatima had accepted her, Xavier was more than thrilled. The smile on her face seemed to demand people notice her. She wondered up towards the Castle doors and hisitated slightly. This was too be her home, so, knock or walk in? Letting out a loud sigh she opened the door slowly and peered inside. Only spotting two guards standing on the other end of the room her shoulders began to relax. Stepping fully inside she closed the door quietly, flinching when the hinges squeaked. Where do I go know? She wondered out loud as she headed towards the guards. "Excuse me? Could someone help me find Princess Fatima please?" Without saying a word one of them turned and started to lead her through several open doors until she spotted a group of others all seated outside enjoying drinks. Her nerves kicked in as she approached who could only be the princess. Not sure if she was interupting anything she remained standing by the door while she spoke. "Excuse me, I was told I had been claimed for Princess Fatima? I'm sorry if I'm interupting." Every muscle in Xavier's body was tensed with anxiety and uncertainty.
Seeing how everyone carried on with their conversations he figured either they didn't hear him or they were ignoring him, so he sat his empty cup down as he then got up and turned around as he then headed back to the castle as if feeling that he was not welcomed to the little feast and started to head for the castle as if going to the throne room. he wanted to try being more talkative and be more socialized, but he had been corupted for so long that when he had changed he forgotten what it was like and how it feels, and also how to be socialized as he thought to himself, "i guess i'm not welcomed at the little feast, i'll just sit in the Throne room in my chair and meditate."
Xavier watched as a guy she didn't recongnize stood and made his way back into the castle. No one seemed to be noticing her and she had an urge to follow this stranger. The oppertunity of getting to know someone was tempting. Her mouth twitched slightly and her eyes flashed a sudden black as she struggled to decide what to do. Feeling even more overwhelmed she took two steps back and stood in the hallway to the rooms again, her breathing was uneven and her birthmarks were flashing a white color. Realizing how much she was letting her nerves get to her she began taking deep breaths until she calmed down. Relaxing a little when her birthmarks returned to normal blue she let out a chuckle as she realized all of this was over nothing. She leaned back against the wall and pulled her legs up to her, her dress lay loosly around her feet. Laying her head back against she let her eyes flutter shut and unintentually fell asleep.
Vale leans against the far wall watching the people around her. She knows she should try to interact with them but her shyness keeps her standing alone. Her eyes lower to to the floor as she messes with her necklace between her fingers. Maybe it was best, maybe since her brother died she was ment to be alone. Her mind starts to wander through her past making tears spring to her eyes as she realizes just how alone she is. Shaking her head to bring her out of her thoughts, making her loose curls fall around her face, she orders a drink from a near by helper looking up she sees Wolf enter the throne room again. Having been lost in thought she Hadn't even noticed that everyone had left to go eat. As she watches him she shrinks into the shadows as much as she can not wanting to bother him.
Gabriel looked at the one named Dimitri as he spoke to Fatima. He hadnt heard most of it but the last comment about warriors made him growl low and speak up with a firm voice.
If you believe that fully then you are a fool. A true and great warrior learns to fight with skill without their powers before they learn to fight with them. He wishes to prove himself a great fighter, then he shall do it my way if he wishes to learn from me. Same goes for you if you wish to spar with me. Believe me, I have enough power the flatten you if I wanted it.
Gabriel shook his head at the idiot who had been bouncing around in trees. He looked up as he saw Wolf move from his spot and head back to the castle. He had figured he would want to watch the fight as well but he had been wrong. As he attention was taken back to Azurius spoke about a training arena and Fatima answered him. Gabriel simply nodded before he looked around them.
I think there is enough room right here since we wont be using powers. But if it makes you feel better to have a ring, I think I can help with that. Plus, he wouldnt want to face the demons, Azrael. Especially Phoenix. I watched that woman fight a beast in the arena back months ago. That woman has got some skills is all I am going to say.
He smirked as he flamed tattoos on his arms began to glow under his rolled up sleeves. Gabriel moved to unbutton his shirt. It was white and he didnt want to get it dirty while he faught the man. He smirked as he threw the shirt at Azrael and chuckled at him.
Thats pay back for stealing my drink, brother.
He laughed before he turned back to the arena he was going to make. This was the first time anyone in this kingdom had seen him with his shirt off. He felt his flame tattoos glow moving across his back and shoulders and down to his waist. Gabriel was all muscle which made his own set of wing tattoos look larger and it was the first time anyone would have seen those as well in the kingdom. He couldnt use his though atleast not yet as he silently wished. He walked back over to the middle of the clearing as the circle of flames began to take affect. He smirked as he spoke.
Dont worry about the flames. They wont burn you. Simply look at it as a barrier not to cross.
He gave the male a smile before his face turned serious. He raised the blade to his eyes in a formal greeting of respect from one warrior to another. From a teacher to their student before he lowered the blade slightly. He gave a gesture of his hand that was saying "lets get started". He simply waited for the man to make his first move.
Every shadow in the room grew restless. They all writhed and became like like. A purple mist settled on the throne room floor. A heavy power could be felt through out the entire room. Then she appeared from the darkness. Lilith's amethyst eyes were hypnotic as she glanced around the sparesly filled room. Staying hidden in her current state was a choice she made alone.
A charming smile lit her face. Even with her enormous belly she moved with feline like movements. The weakened state she had been in had passed. Her raging hormones had made her more powerful than she had ever been.
Her lavender gown tightly hugged her frame. Pregnancy did not stop Lilith from feeling sexy and beautiful. Its long sleeves and whimsical skirt billowed around her as her power radiated. Not truly caring for anyone else, her eyes instantly bypassed everyone to find Fatima. But she was not in sight.
She observed the room. It seemed as though people were gathering in the courtyard. Lilith didn't feel like moving. So she decided to wait for Fatima here.
The darkness in one corner of the room seemed to grow unsettled. From the corner of one's eye, it seemed as if the darkness moved within itself although when focused upon it seemed perfectly normal. Shayde stepped from out of a solid stone wall. His white eyes scanning the room as he stood in silence, his hand gripping the handle of the Darksword, which he held slung over his shoulder. Many months have passed since his battle with his father. The darkness seemed as if it wanted to consume everything as it stretched farther in dark tendrils. Shayde payed no attention to the others as he strode from the darkness into the well lit parts of the room. Shayde smiled behind his mask as the tendrils began to reach for him, as if they wanted to pull him back into the safety of the shadows. His heart skipped a beat as he felt the presence of his wife. Shayde's eyes searched the room until he found her. Smiling softly at the sight of her back turned toward him, Shayde stopped moving forward and fell rigidly forward, but instead of stopping at the floor, he seemed to fall through it. An outline of his body appeared next to Lilith and he lifted from it. Shayde smiled as he gazed upon her and they grew wide at the sight of his wife's stomache. Without speaking Shayde placed his hand upon her belly and chuckled softly as he felt a small yet forceful nudge against it. Lilith was pregnant and the child had just kicked. Shayde closed his eyes and sensed two lives within his beautiful wife. The black spectre opened his eyes and gazed at the side of Lilith's face, his slow heartbeat skipping occasionally.
Azurius raised one blade to his face bringing the tip to his lips and swung his other blade in a wide arc behind him all in a bowing manner, Then Azurius pushed forward with a small lurch with his body and threw one of his large blades in an angled arc at Lord Gabriele and followed through on his spin so that he may strongly push off with his legs. Seemingly to charge straight in a head line rush into the fight. Before clashing with lord Gabriele, Azurius brought his sword down to his taloned feet and planted his hands upon the ground using his strong arms to make a low lunge around the height of lord gabrieles waist,Knowing that lord Gabriele was also an experienced warrior,He would not be easily caught off Guard. aAzurius allowed one foot to stay close to the ground and curled one of his arms up to his shoulders ready to make a rolling dodgewhile using his free hand he would be able to grab his other blade.Azurius pre calculated that he would have to dodge if lord Gabriele parried or found an opening to attack. Knowing the diffrence within their abbilities Azurius planned to attack continously with speed and concentrated attacks,hoping to Force lord Gabriele into standing in a defensive posture
Dimitri's attention was back to lady Fatima as she spoke of missing his entrances and chuckled "I do apologize, ill need to change such past results for a present time.." he chuckled before he heard another male speak of him being more popular and tilted his head questionably "Oh? How so if i may..?" he asked before coming short as another voice came in, glancing the way of the voice he chuckled and shrugged "Never said anything about skills, just that it takes more then skill alone to be a grate Warrior, It takes true heart and the will to push on, in which mostly comes in those who sees to protect.." he shrugged "And ill wait my turn after you are done with him.." he smiled before leaning back, pulling out a sack of pecans and snacked on them
Fatima noticed from the corner of her eyes that Wolf retreated followed by a female claim, frowning she stood and finished her mead. Her cheeks flushed at the rush of the alcohol that made her way into her veins. She was to go speak with her Lord and perhaps greet the woman that scattered from a group of people. Her eyes darted to Gabriel who made a comment about powers in battle and she frowned. Clearly her motives in fighting were never the best, but then again she was a lover not a fighter. Shaking her thoughts she noticed another female who was looking for her. Fatima's eyes warmed as she walked around the men who were getting ready for battle. Pardon me boys, but I believe I shall attend my claims away from you. Giggling she hummed for a moment as Gabriel took his shirt off and threw it at her brother. She giggled as it landed squarely on his face, passing Gabriel she stroke his bare flesh humming and teasing him lightly. Consider walking around my lands without a shirt more often. It will please many. She winked laughing as gave Azirus a small bow and made her way towards the woman who was closer to the castle. Hello dear, welcome to Valhalla I am Princess Fatima. We may walk back inside and let the men be men. She smiled for a moment as she looked back at Dimitri who was now interested in fighting with the men. Fatima wasn't going to judge their progress she didn't feel up to it, so she gave her brother a knowing look and he nodded.
Before walking back inside she noticed someone approaching her from the shadows. Fatima smiled, her eyes watering to see the one friend she trusted. Lilith looked wonderful and the last time she had seen her she had confided in her that she was pregnant and afraid. Her eyes lowered to her belly and it made her giddy inside to have children around her. Fatima always longed to have more children, but knowing she was a vampire it was a bit harder for her to give birth. After Arel was born she knew that she was perfectly fine with just two, besides she could always live vicariously through other woman. Fatima smiled as she came forward and Fatima closed the gap as she embraced her not caring that her belly was in the way. Oh Lilith, you look beautiful. Pulling away she looked at the bump between them. You are progressing wonderfully. She cooed as her hand hovered over her growing belly.
Arel would be so happy to see you. Fatima whispered, but stopped herself almost wondering where her son was. Perhaps after Gabriel was done she could make him go look for him. Come, we should go inside. The men are trying to prove themselves to me. Quite unnecessary but i rather not argue with them. She smiled lacing her arm through Lilith as she guided her inside, but stopped shortly as a shadow pooled next to her Guardian. Looking at it cautiously she watched Shayde appear and Fatima eased her tension. Well hello there. Let us go inside. She gave them a soft smile letting go as she hummed and walked forward past the doors and towards her throne room.
Azrael watched as everyone began crowding the outside and he smirked as he leaned against his seat and watched Gabriel, Azirus, And Dimitri get ready for sparring. Taking another drink he watched as Gabriel took his shirt off and threw it at him. Grabbing it he threw it at Fatima's seat as he chuckled. Gabriel how considerate to make your number one fan girl. Grinning he watched as Fatima moved around the men teasing Gabriel as she greeted other and went inside once more. Azrael knew his sister wasn't one to like battling after their home was attacked he knew she harnessed a dislike against fighting, though he knew she was an excellent and skilled fighter. She wasn't a goddess incarnate for nothing. Well lets get started. I need you guys to feed my other side. Grinning he placed his drink on Fatima's seat as his eyes glimmered a red with his pupil becoming an intense yellow.
Opening her eyes, Xavier blinked slowly and stood retracing her steps to peer outside the door. She hisitated slightly as she noticed the princess was no where in sight. Turning she retreated into the castle and found the princess once again, this time it only took a moment before she approached. Her lips pulled up into a small smile, revealing the tips of her teeth. "Princess? I would like to introduce myself. I am Xavier Lynn Juzz, but Xavier is fine. I would of introduced myself earlier, but crowds make me uneasy. I apologize for that."
Suddenly the shadows in the room became restless like before. Instantly Lilith knew who it was but she didn't move from her spot. Goosebumps covered her skin as she felt him near. As his hand rested on her huge belly the children jumped for joy. She turned to smile at him. She stood on the balls of her barefeet to plant a kiss on his mask,
"Hello there stranger,"
She purred seductively at her lover. Then she watched her closest friend enter the room. Her red lips twisted up in a bewildering smile. Fatima was the only person besides Luca and Morana that she actually cared for. She watched her eyes water. Lilith embraced her closely causing her active babies to jump around even more. She held Luca's hand as Fatima pulled her inside away from the playful riff raff of the men,
"Where is my growing boy Arel?"
She asked grinning at the thought of the boy she loved like her own.
Gabriel smirked as he thru his shirt in Azrael's face and spoke of his drink. It was all in good fun considering he considered him family as well as Fatima. He chuckled softly at Azrael's comment and simply shook his head. Trust me, back home when I would train warriors for my father, I had plenty of girls who would swear at being my number one fan. He laughed out loud before Fatima spoke ot seeing to her claims away from everyone. He nodded softly and gave her a smile as she ran her fingers alone his skin. He didnt make a sound but gave her that alluring smile of his. He then heard her comment about keeping his shirt off and walking around. He simply chuckled before he spoke. Very well my lady. I shall walk around with it off more often to please the many. He gave her a wink as she walked away. Gabriel shook his head before he moved back to the circle and made the flames appear.
Gabriel heard the man named Dimitri speak again. Gabriel simply shook his head at him and sighed. The man didnt get it and he had a feeling he may never or simply misunderstood him. I think you misunderstood me, Dimitri. I am not denying what you say is true. Believe me, I use my powers when I am in a serious fight. But this is a sparing match between me and someone who wishes to be trained by me for Fatima's court. In order to be a good warrior, you learn with your hands and a blade before you learn with your blade and your powers. He nodded softly before he turned his attention to Azurius. Gabriel looked at the man as he gave the respectful salute before he took his position. He was prepared as he watched the claim. Gabriel didnt take any sort of stance as he stood there watching as the male charged at him. He thought to jump over him and land behind him before he went into a lunging stance. Gabriel chuckled to himself silently as the man came towards him. Gabriel waisted no time as he moved swiftly, kneeing Azurius in the face. He knew that he would be slightly stunned by the kick and probably have a bloody nose.
Gabriel watched the male as he spoke in a stern voice of someone fighting and yet teaching at the same time. You wished me to fight you seriously. First lesson, never attack low enless your sword is pointed infront of you. Since we arent killing one another, that pose shouldnt have even been made. He smirked as he backed away slightly and waited on him to regain his composure. He held the blade casually in his hand as he simply waited. He wasnt ready to take that defensive posture just yet.
Azurius feeling the lord gabriele's knee in his face recoiled and slide his body around grabing his sword.."sir I was meerly gauging your reflexes, im not concerned with a little pain."
Asurius pulled a chain from his belt and latched it to the end of his sword, he threw his blade at the lord, when the blade came within close contact Azurius stiffened his arm and brought his leg up and then back down on the chain forcing it to make a slash in the air while azurius was still twenty feet away. letting the chain go slack he twisted it to loop the chain around the legs of lord gabrielle, as soon as they caught azurius would be ready to pull him in and strike or defend with his other sword.
Azurius was still trying to gauge his opponents reflexs, seeing how far he could push before begining a real attack
Fatima had hear Gabriel's comment and it made her smirk at the fact that he was taking her input. The man was down right handsome and it wasn't entirely wrong for her to admire a man. She still loved her husband dearly, even if he hadn't been around for a while. The sounds of fighting began and she frowned, walking back towards her castle she noticed a few claims had entered and her guardian was following close behind with her mate. Fatima opened the doors to her home with a wave of her hand, she was greeted by the silence and she smiled glad that she was to enjoy greeting claims once more. Gathering her skirt she walked to her throne, climbing those three steps she turned sitting on her massive throne. Ah, it feels good to be inside. She smiled looking at the female who introduced herself as Xavier. Once inside Fatima greeted her properly. Welcome my dear, don't worry about the crowd. It is why I came inside to let the men deal with their fighting. She grinned looking at Wolf who had separated himself from the rest. Fatima smiled at her reconstructed Lord, seeing as he had attracted a visitor. Looking behind him she smiled at the female who seemed close behind him. Wolf, why don't you take a rest, there's blood ready to eat by the windows. I keep it there just in case we get starving claims. She giggled this time looking at her guardian who asked for her son. After you had asked him to search for your sister I have not seen him. I am sure he's at the school. Fatima wasn't entirely sure if he was there, her son was too young to venture any where else and it worried her that he was all by himself. She sighed softly leaning against her mighty throne, crossing her legs, and tapping her fingers softly against the chair.
Azrael grinned at Gabriel as he watched anxiously as the men began fighting. Azrael could almost feel his other side began brewing, though he was in control of it. Azael hardly took control without his consent. Sighing he watched Dimitri who was waiting for his turn, he had a great idea to watch with some sort of snack, but unfortunately Azrael couldn't swell in human food. His eyes shifted back to the fight taking in details of their every move and calculating them against the potential of a war. Gabriel was clearly trained to know how to defend himself, but Azrael wasn't sure about the other two. He simply had to wait and see, he hummed softly his redden eyes showing the hunger for blood but not truly wishing to attack. He was glad that he was here to tell his sister how the fight progressed in the end.
Wolf watched everything that was going on in the room when he sensed someone moving into the shadows, he may have been blind but he could see anything that moved or made a sound as he then said to Vale, "why do you hide in the shadows of the room? There is no need to be shy, please come on out." He then noticed as Lilith appeared, but didn't say anything as Shayde entered and went over to her and touched her belly as he figured they were married. He then looked back over to the girl that was still hiding in the shadows as he could only see the outer lines of her body and clothing, he then sensed as Fatima entered the room and sat in her throne and greeted the claims and asked him to rest and eat some blood as he grit his teeth, not in anger but of other reasons he then calmly as possible he said, "Thank you, but i'll decline... if you have anything else that is neither blood or meat then i will gladly take it... i'm sorry, but if i were to drink blood or eat meat, then i will once again become what i once was." he then waited for her reply...
Vale swallows as Wolf speaks to her, her shyness making her face flush with color. After a few moments she slowly steps into the light keeping her eyes on the floor as she stands twirling her fingers together nervously. Some of her brown locks fall down in front of her eyes as she keeps her eyes on the floor.
"Forgive me Sir but I'm not very good at talking to people."
(Her dress:
)
She whispers looking at him out of the top of her eyes. She was half tempted to shift into an animal form, for she was beyond stunning and she hated the way people only liked her for her looks and how they treated her because if them. She fidgets smoothing out her dress as she moves her gaze away from his and back to the floor.
Flames had appeared near the main doors of the throne room, the fire being safely away from anyone else within the castle, and turned from a light golden orange to a red, then to black as a form started to come forth. As the fire slowly disappeared, feathers, then when more noticeable, wings had been where once the flames were, and soon a man was standing there, the wings moving to be behind him as he had moved from the spot, taking a step forward to the doors themselves. Glancing, he cleared his throat, but softly in a way that he would not be noticed, and waited for Phoenix and Draven to arrive. He looked around the area, taking in the scents of those that were within, and knew that there were many, but it had seemed sure that none were of the one that had taken of his daughter. He felt a slight relief of that, but only awaited until the other two would come forth before he would think to make a move any closer, for he would not wish to stop the royal from taking care of those that were already there.
Wolf continued to wait for Fatima's reply to his question as he watched as a man appeared out of the flames, but did nothing for he didn't want to do anything rashanal, he rather wait to see if Fatima knew the person or not before trying anything, he then turned around to face Vale as his eyes were pitch black and his left pupil was purple, while his right was dark electric yellow, his eyes then started to shift as they finally changed back to their original colors, where his eyes were a normal white and both his pupils were a blue silver. He stared at her and by the way his eyes looked he was completely blind, he couldn't see color, he couldn't see like a normal human, but he could only see movements and sounds, he could only see the vibrations and waves of the sounds, and outlines of the movements. If there was a heart beat he would see it, the movements of the liquid of the blood stream of ones blood veins, anything that moved or made a sound he could see as he then said to Vail, "as i said before, please do not be so shy, at least not in my presence... why would someone such as yourself, with such a beautiful personality be hiding in the shadows?" he could tell the difference between peoples personalities all by their movements and the sounds their bodies create as it appeared he was watching her with his eyes, but because he was blind he could not see her, he only saw her movements and her sounds...

Gabriel stood there, simply looking at Azurius. He had kneed the male in the face. It wasnt because he personally hated the man but to prove a lesson. He wanted to learn from him so he would teach him in the same fashion he had been taught when he was younger. Gabriel looked over at Azrael for a moment and could take the man was watching the fight intently yet he wondered something by the red eyes. He didnt say anything how ever as his attentioned turned back to Azurius as he spoke to him. Gabriel shook his head softly and spoke out right to the man. You wished to learn under me to better serve Fatima. So, I shall teach you in the same fashion I learned. He simply smiled and waited for the man to recover.
As they stood there, Gabriel watched him as he removed the chain and swung it with the blade towards his feet. He jumped back but his foot ended up getting caught in the chain. Gabriel smirked and shook his head for a moment before moved and stomped his other foot on the chain so he wouldnt slip if it was pulled. He looked at Azurius and shooke his head. If you would like to get a blow in, simply attack. No need to use things like chains trying to trip me. Gabriel smirked and removed his foot off the chain. If the pup wanted to use chains very well. If he fell then very well. Gabriel had been in this moment before and learned quickly on how to regain himself. He simply watched and waited on the next move, still standing in a some what relaxed pose those his blade was raised to stike when ready.
Draven appeared near Lucifer with his daughter in his arms. The shadows swirled around their bodies and the red glow of flames licked their skin. He smirked as looked at his lord though he kept his arms around his daughter possessively. He nodded and understood the story of Zillah fully now before he moved to Phoenix's side. He placed her hand on his arm. Draven would be her escort now until this mission was over. She was queen and his daughter so that gave him to right to be her protector as well as father. Draven looked to Lucifer and spoke silently to him that no one would hear him but Lucifer. Shall we begin? He smirked alluringly yet with a hint of sinister satisfaction on his face. Apart of him was happy to have Phoenix so close to him and feeling the power she always held. Draven felt his gracefully by his side and was anxious to meet this royal and the others. He had an ego and was wondering what those who knew Phoenix would think of seeing her much stronger father standing with her and here in the kingdom. He wouldnt tell them who he was and simply let them guess before he spoke or Phoenix told them outright. Then again, Lucifer could say it. Any of those would be fine and it didnt bother him. He simply placed that seductive smile on his lips and waited on this meeting with the royal to begin.
GO ON & BREAK YOUR WINGS. FOLLOW YOUR HEART UNTIL IT BLEEDS
MY HEART IS BROKEN. SWEET SLEEP, MY DARK ANGEL.
Phoenix felt the shadows and red glow of his flames dance around her skin as her and her father appeared near Lucifer at Fatima's. She hadnt been here since Arel was born so it was going to be slightly interesting to see the changes fully. Phoenix opened her eyes as the shadows died away. She simply looked at Lucifer though she felt her fathers arms around her body. She didnt moved or say anything even after Draven moved from around her back and placed her arm on his. She looked at the arm and then looked into her fathers eyes. He held that smirk and that same ego of his was shining thru. She wouldnt tell anyone who he was. She knew Fatima would either figure it out or directly ask. It made her smirk slightly to herself before she slammed her ruthless persona and mask in place for this meeting. She was here on business, a mission of sorts as they tried to find out information into these crimes. She gripped her fathers arm for a moment before relaxing. She knew he was trying to be the doteing father and being her protective escort. He didnt need to but it was useless to fight with him she knew. Phoenix looked at Lucifer again as her father spoke of being ready. She simply nodded and gave Lucifer a smile as she waited on them to enter.
Fatima watched gracefully as her Lord greeted the straying claims, even with his blindness he had proven himself of helping her. Fatima smiled sighing contently she answered Wolf, "I understand, my apologies. You have strayed from me for too long I do not think I know my Lord as well as I should." She chuckled watching the female who greeted him step out and converse with him. Fatima let them have their conversation as she motioned her attention to those who needed it. Looking out towards the main doors she noticed a bit of commotion, she was hoping that the men hadn't found their way to the throne room. If they did she will be forced to use a bit of her power to keep them out. Though she noticed that the presence wasn't a common one, she listened as Wolf also sensed the being that arrived to her home. Opening the with a wave of her hand she witnessed three figures standing there. Fatima glared feeling slightly overwhelmed by the demons, after centuries with her husband she knew the distinctive smell of sulfur and sooth. Fatima knew two of the demons one being Phoenix and the other Lucifer, Lucina's flame. Fatima smiled softly as she waved them to step forward. Worry not Wolf, these are friends. Mind caring for the other claims while I see what they are here for. She gave him a soft, smile before looking onto the demons. She stepped down of her throne, her green eyes glowing as she walked halfway.
OOC: will post Azrael next post waiting for the others. Will be busy until the afternoon so I won't reply till then.
Lucifer watched the two as they appeared, and chuckled mostly to himself, seeing the actions that had been taken. He figured that he would let Draven speak for himself, for if he wanted to be known, then he would make himself as such. Looking straight ahead, he watched as the throne room doors opened, and seen the court as well as the princess. It was an interesting thing to see, but he had been used to the sudden glare that Fatima had given towards them. He did not care, and only walked forward, meeting Fatima halfway before he stood still, staying a distance of only a foot or two. Upon getting to that point, he said to her, "Fatima, princess of Arsen's kingdom, and known by Luce...it is nice to meet you formally." He attempted a smile, but it had come forth as a smirk instead of a smile. "I would imagine that you know of who I am, and also know of who Phoenix is, but I will let the other that accompanied me to introduce himself should he wish to make himself known." He glanced back at the two for only a moment, then turned himself to once more look upon her. "We are here on business of a grave kind, and I will need you to answer this question that I have." Lucifer wondered of if she would even give him an answer or if she would give him an insult or two, but would find out as he had asked more towards a whisper to her so that only she could hear it, "Were you raped by anyone within the kingdom? We have received reports of women being raped within the kingdom, one being my own flesh and blood, and so am moving to each female royal in order to find out of if they or any of their court have had that happen to them, so that I might find out of who it is." he waited then on an what might come from her. He had no real time to be too formal, for there were many to see, and many in which to ask. He also didn't want his dearest Luce to be a part of the villain's deeds, and so wanted to find him before he had a chance. He wanted also to make sure that the one that had done such a thing to his dearest daughter was found fast so that he could enjoy ripping him apart.

Fatima had received Annabeth to her home and invited her to dine with them. Hearing her accept made it far more wonderful to have another one eat with them. Fatima watched things transpire as her dragon arrived and hesitating in receiving the offered of food to the fact that her brother had finally arrived. Fatima smiled contently as she hummed glad that she had someone of her family around. Azrael sat beside her and she felt the need to sit on his lap just like when he sat on hers when he was little. Controlling her emotions she listened as Gabriel talked about Rose's pets and it seemed that she was well protected other than Joshua. Gabriel, how is Joshua? Their marriage? After the two month of separation I was afraid they wouldn't marry so I ask because it has been a while since I last saw them or heard of them. She gave him a soft smile
Azrael sat comfortably net to his sister, lacing his fingers with her and keeping her close. After he got married he lost a bit of touch with her to only worry about his son and his wife. Azrael had lived here while his son grew but still he found himself alone with his son. Azrael smiled at his older sister and watch her interact with everyone just like the born princess she was meant to be. He looked at Gabriel who had greeted him in a light tease. He had asked about Alira in a sense and he replied, though later she will venture here he found himself missing her more and more. Asking about the drinks he listened as Gabriel offered some of his own. Sweet is not my thing, so i'll try a bit of your's. He watched his sister stick out her tongue at him and he chuckled. Snatching Gabriel's drink and taking a swallow himself, the taste was different and certainly hearty. He watched the man who was cooking finish of his duties to only go for his swords and speak of being ready. Azrael arched a brow as he stared at Gabriel in question. Did I miss something? Are you to fight? He asked as he sat more comfortably and took a long sip from the stolen drink he had gathered.
Fatima giggled softly as Gabriel and Azrael toyed with each other. It was nice that Gabriel felt like family, in all honesty he was family. Drinking her mead silently she watched as Gabriel and Azirus finally began to prepare for their fight. Hearing the rules made her frown and she wondered if she was a coward for using her powers. Shaking her thoughts she looked at both men and hummed before thinking of the arena. I do not have an arena here, but there is the demon training arena. It is open to those who wish to use it. She gave them a soft smile before adding. Sadly, I cannot leave my throne room unattended. Her smile wavered for a moment before looking at Azirus as he came forward and pledged himself to her. It was a nice gesture that he wished to serve under her royal court, but she knew nothing of him. How could she trust someone with her family and her home, let alone her throne. Fatima wasn't sure what to say so she simply nodded as she finally found her words. I bid you good luck to both of you in your fight. Raising her glass of mead she saluted them before looking at Dimitri. It's good to have you around. I must say I missed your eccentric entrances. She chuckled softly pushing strands of hair behind her fey ear. Hearing him wish to join Gabriel and Azrius in their fight made her look at him before at the other men. I see nothing wrong with it, but it is not really up to me but them. She whispered hearing Dimitri go on to give his opinion about using powers. Her heart race waiting to hear what both Gabriel and Azirus thought about it.
Every shadow in the room grew restless. They all writhed and became like like. A purple mist settled on the throne room floor. A heavy power could be felt through out the entire room. Then she appeared from the darkness. Lilith's amethyst eyes were hypnotic as she glanced around the sparesly filled room. Staying hidden in her current state was a choice she made alone.
The darkness in one corner of the room seemed to grow unsettled. From the corner of one's eye, it seemed as if the darkness moved within itself although when focused upon it seemed perfectly normal. Shayde stepped from out of a solid stone wall. His white eyes scanning the room as he stood in silence, his hand gripping the handle of the Darksword, which he held slung over his shoulder. Many months have passed since his battle with his father. The darkness seemed as if it wanted to consume everything as it stretched farther in dark tendrils. Shayde payed no attention to the others as he strode from the darkness into the well lit parts of the room. Shayde smiled behind his mask as the tendrils began to reach for him, as if they wanted to pull him back into the safety of the shadows. His heart skipped a beat as he felt the presence of his wife. Shayde's eyes searched the room until he found her. Smiling softly at the sight of her back turned toward him, Shayde stopped moving forward and fell rigidly forward, but instead of stopping at the floor, he seemed to fall through it. An outline of his body appeared next to Lilith and he lifted from it. Shayde smiled as he gazed upon her and they grew wide at the sight of his wife's stomache. Without speaking Shayde placed his hand upon her belly and chuckled softly as he felt a small yet forceful nudge against it. Lilith was pregnant and the child had just kicked. Shayde closed his eyes and sensed two lives within his beautiful wife. The black spectre opened his eyes and gazed at the side of Lilith's face, his slow heartbeat skipping occasionally. 
Draven appeared near Lucifer with his daughter in his arms. The shadows swirled around their bodies and the red glow of flames licked their skin. He smirked as looked at his lord though he kept his arms around his daughter possessively. He nodded and understood the story of Zillah fully now before he moved to Phoenix's side. He placed her hand on his arm. Draven would be her escort now until this mission was over. She was queen and his daughter so that gave him to right to be her protector as well as father. Draven looked to Lucifer and spoke silently to him that no one would hear him but Lucifer. Shall we begin? He smirked alluringly yet with a hint of sinister satisfaction on his face. Apart of him was happy to have Phoenix so close to him and feeling the power she always held. Draven felt his gracefully by his side and was anxious to meet this royal and the others. He had an ego and was wondering what those who knew Phoenix would think of seeing her much stronger father standing with her and here in the kingdom. He wouldnt tell them who he was and simply let them guess before he spoke or Phoenix told them outright. Then again, Lucifer could say it. Any of those would be fine and it didnt bother him. He simply placed that seductive smile on his lips and waited on this meeting with the royal to begin.
