In a land far from this kingdom stands a large fortress. It belonged to a man simply called "The McBane". He was a very large man that most would fear. But if you lived in the kingdom he was leader of, then you would know that he was also a generous man. McBane had a wife that blessed him with two children. The oldest is Prince Gabriel. The youngest is Princess Rose. What many dont know is that McBane had an affair and later brought the half brother of the two children, Vincent, to come stay in the mighty fortress. Gabriel was furious with what his father had done. But then his mother became pregnant with Rose and she would turn out to be a very special girl. She is goddess blessed. Part angel and vampire. When McBane found out about his daughter and her special abilities from a letter the Lady McBane wrote before she died, He slowly began to loose his mind. He went to war against the man Rose was to marry and killed him. He faught against the man and his own son who had joined him in the fight against his father. When Rose's betrothed was killed, Gabriel rode back to Castle McBane and took Rose away with the help of his friend Jason. He ended up having to leave her and she wondered into the Vampire Kingdom where he later found her. Rose swore that if she was to ever become a princess again, she would rebuild her old home. It would be an exact copy but instead of holding sadness and war, it would be a safe haven and be filled with love and friendship to those who entered. Those who first meet Rose will be surprised though. She is covered in tattoos that glow or run along her body in the shape of flames, water, and wolves. Some have called her a freak because of this but no longer.
This copy of her old home will have the same seasons as her old home as well. Snow covers the ground most of the year except for the few months that it is warm. Then you will see the flowers over the land near the castle. When its warm, there are rolling hills near by and its covered in flowers. Snow in the winter. This new castle is not only for the claims and royals under Princess Rose, but also as a safe haven for those who may need to get away. Rose is gifted, not only with magical abilities, but she gifted at birthing children. She wanted to make a place big enough that if any woman or family came needing assistance in giving birth to a child, that she had a place they could call home while they stayed with her. Its on of the reasons this castle reborn is some what larger but not much larger then the original.
Rose has to ability to call wolves to her aid if need be. But she also wanted to have something that held her brother in her home as well. So you will see hawks flying over head as well as wolves running around the place. No one will be hurt by any of these animals enless they wish harm on anyone who inhabits the castle.

Ember nods as the boy runs into her and complements her dress. Turning to Rose she forces herself to smile, her insides protesting greatly, as she addresses the princess.
"No I'm not but thank you." She says kindly seeing that the person she is indeed looking for his not here.
Getting a glass of blood she takes a seet in one of the plush armchairs. Sipping from her glass she looks around at the people she had not seen before and some of the ones she had.
As she sits there she sees movement by the door. Turning she sees Chaos standing there, his look new and very attractive. She sucks in a breath as her heart sinks even further into the black hole that had been opened in her chest. Her glass begins to shake slightly as her hands do. How could he ever forgiver her, he must hate her. She thinks looking at the stone floor blocking out the world around her.
Rose looked around her throne room as she noticed Skarlett. She looked as though she had just woken up and startled at that. She was about the speak when she saw her looking around the room. Rose simply graced her with a smile before she finally stood from her chair, giving a nod and then heading out the door. Rose simply returned the nod and let her retire to her rooms. Rose simply breathed as she held Gina in her lap. She looked up at the boy as he spoke to her. He seemed to be rambling and Rose found it quite cute until he spoke the name blood suckers and leeches. Dont you dare call my mother a blood sucker. She is a vampiric Angel. Gideon rose from the chair him and his twin began sitting in not long ago. Rayner rose with his brother to defend his mother as well. She isnt a leech either. Rose cleared her throat as she looked to the twins. She spoke to them in a soft yet stern voice.
Boys! That was rude. You do not raise your voice like that to a guest. I am sorry Bao Cai. They are alittle protective of me like their father. It is a pleasure to meet you and you are right, most of us here are vampires or carry vampire blood within is. But some of my claims are shifters and I have a human or two around here. But there will be no biting anyone here. I have blood if you need a drink.
She smiled to him as he moved to run up the wall. She was impressed with his abilites before he had a seat again. She smiled at him and was about to compliment him on his talents when he spoke of leaving. She simply nodded to him and spoke after him.
Please come back once your done. I would like to learn more about you and maybe I can help you with learning more about vampires. I am a pure blood and was born this way. I wasnt made like some vampires are.
She gave him a smile as she waved at him. She looked around the room as someone entered before she heard a soft voice speak thru her mind. She shook her head softly before she spoke back to Ra-Kaziel thru his mind.
It is alright for speaking to me this way. Now, please come down and visit. I have yet to talk to you properly yet. Plus you look so cute in your fox form.
She smiled as she leaned her head back and looked up at the rafters to see him there sitting. She smiled before she looked to the woman who had entered. She came forward and introduced her self. She liked the womans name and gave her a gentle nod before she spoke to her in a soft voice.
I shall be sure to remember that. If I need anything then I shall call upon you as well as any of my court. You have a very lovely name. Wouldnt you agree Lucius?
She smirked softly at Lucius as she had seen the look he gave the woman out of the corner of her eyes. She smiled as they seemed to be reuniting after all this time. She loved happy endings. Rose couldnt deny that she was a romantic at heart. She gave a sigh of happiness to see them reunited before her attention was caught by Ember. She looked at her as she spoke to her. Rose nodded before she spoke to her. Is there something I can help you with, Ember? With whatever is bothering you or what your in search of?
She looked at her softly before she saw Chaos enter the room. It was nice to see most of her claims returning to visit her and looking well rested. She noticed Chaos had cut his hair and she liked it. Rose smiled at him though he looked as though he was looking for someone. She looked at him curious and couldnt help but ask him. Good evening Chaos. I like your new hair cut. You look as though you were looking for someone. Is there anything I can help you with? She gave him a smile before she looked to Ember. She looked uncomfortable which made Rose raise an eye brow slightly as she sat there dressed in white silver.
Ra-kaziel leaned over and let him self fall from the rafter of the ceiling above the lady rose ,the cloth around his body seeming to flow around him.bracing his legs he leaned slightly forward to land in a bowing crouch next to the claim Gina.
"Rose, i wanted to tell you the things ive seen on the left wing of your castle,and the scent of some type of large lizard,and i decided to rush back here because i could sense a ripple of divine healing magic.
I was interested in finding out who was using it.","I've been trying to keep an eye on everybody coming in and out of your throne room, and through general assessment,I found none were here to cause or place you in danger."
I want to protect you and lady Skarlet because you remind me of my Father,and my... Mother
Tears start running down Ra-Kaziel's cheeks his normally outward cool appearance breaking,being betrayed by his own emotions, Ra-Kaziel turned his face away from lady rose in what seemed like he was afraid and ashamed of his memories. Wiping his tears away Ra-Kaziel turned around once more
Tears dried upon his sleeve Ra-Kaziel began to speak again in his normally cheerful manner
"Are those two young boys claims as well?, Scratching the fox ears on his human form...they seem close to my age i think.", "Maybe we could all play some time."
"After our talk,If its okay with you, i wanted to run through the woods pick up on the scents.I could even ask lady Skarlet to accompany me."
Ra-Kaziel shifting back into his fox form, walked over to nudge the hand of lady rose,and sat down beside her
looking up to her he spoke again directly to her mind "I can communicate like this while in my fox form, im sure you want to know my history and have many questions for me, but if i may make request i would rather talk about my history in this fashion or within the privacy of your self and any lords who would wish to be present."
standing up Ra-Kaziel trotted on all fours around the room looking at everyone assembled from all angles then sat down again at lady roses feet
Ember watches as Chaos makes his way over to her, causing her heart to race slightly. She half expected him to tell at her but instead he just stands there and looks her over for a moment making her shift slightly. Sipping her blood as he takes a seet she tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear. As he speaks she feels as if someone had punches her in the chest.
"Oh Choas" she whispers her eyes watering slightly "I didn't leave because of you."
Reaching in between her Brest she pulls her necklace out it to the light for the first time.
"This" she says holding it out to him "this was my brothers" she say her voice thick with pain. "He gave it to me before he chased me away to save my life. My brother was a wizard so he taught me some of his skills. I got help from a witch who helped me spell the necklace so that if my brother was near by it would glow. That night when I was with you, it started to glow. I didn't was to leave ou but I have been looking for my brother since I became a vampire."
She says to him her hand shaking as she holds her necklace out and tears run down her cheeks.
Rose looked as Chaos come to bow before her after entering the room. She had asked him if there was something he was looking for. When he finally answered, she couldnt help but give him a soft smile. She was a romantic at heart so it pleased her to see happy couples. She nodded softly to him as he finished and spoke of Phoenix.
I have a feeling that you will see her again. She visits often most times. Perhaps when the men return from the training area, if she isnt with them, I can ask where she maybe. I am sure she will come back with them though.
She gave him a smile and a nod before he moved to sit near Ember. She left them alone to their private conversation they seemed to be having. It was then that Ra-Kaziel appeared with a light thud on the floor before her. She smiled at him and looked at him with a curious expression as he spoke of lizards. It actually made Rose chuckle slightly before she finally spoke to him.
Ra-Kaziel, I am not surprised you smell a large lizard. I have two reptiles that live here with me. One of them is Kadir. He is a snake but he is deadly and one of my companions. He is most likely in the castle some where. As for the larger one, that would have to be Draco, my dragon. He has grown much since the twins are born. Though my castle can move slightly to let him inside, he usually stays outside.
She gave him a smile before she listened to him speak again. She could hear the sadness in his voice and it made her want to hug him. He was still young and that made her want to hug him even more. She watched him turn away for a moment before looking at her again and taking on the cheerful tone. She looked at him softly before she turned to look at the boys sitting beside her that he spoke of. She shook her head softly to him.
Ra-Kaziel, Please do not hide your emotions from me. I want to know when my claims are happy and when they are sad. I want to help them to feel better as well. I am glad you look at me like a parent and wish to protect me as well as Skarlett. That warms my heart, it really does. As for these two boys here, no they arent claims. This is Gideon and Rayner, mine and my husband's twin sons. I am sure they would like to play some time.
She smiled at the boys. They looked at the boy with the fox ears. They both grinned, showing baby fangs and nodded excitedly. She looked back to Ra-Kaziel before he shifted before her. He had spoken of Skarlett and finding scents outside. When he came to nuzzled her hand, she gently pet his head, letting her fingers gracefully touch his ears as she heard him speaking to her thru her mind. She nodded to let him know she heard him before he trotted off again around the room. She had been waiting for others to speak before he came to her again. She gently prushed her fingers along his fur as she spoke to him thru his mind.
I do not mind speaking like this if that is what you wish. I like knowing everything I can about my claims. Tell me everything you wish me to know from your birth until now. I will gladly listen. As far as going to search for scents, you may go when ever you wish. Skarlett can go with you if she wishes to. I dont demand that my claims stay here with me. They are free to come and go as they wish. But I am glad to have yet another faithful claim who wishes to protect me and my home.
She smiled softly as she looked down at him with a kind smile as her fingers gently caressed his fur. Rose's Dress
Ember lets the necklace fall back in between her breast as she looks at him and listens to the words coming from his mouth. As he whipped away her tears she felt her heart lurch in her chest. As he explained what happened with Phoenix she didn't like that someone else had drank from him. Letting that go she shivers as he draws close to her and whispers in her ear, what he says makes her tummy flutter and her heart race. Pulling back a little to look up into his eyes she places a hand on the side of his face, using her thumb to stroke it lightly.
"Oh Chaos I already have fallen for you"
She whispers her voice trembling slightly.
Looking up at him she thinks about what he told her about her blood and wonders what it all means, what was going to happen now? Was she going to change drastically or would she even notice? All of those thoughts start to race to her mind as a panicked look crosses her face. Looking back to chaos she realized it doesn't matter, he doesn't hate her, and he was here, that's all she needed to know to feel safe. All she needed, was him.
Ra-Kaziel,sat in his fox form beside lady rose and began to speak to her through her mind.
"I come from a long lineage of fox spirits, it was never discorvered if us fox spirits are either celestial or demonic, but the idea that i am most partial too, is that fox spirits are guardians of the forest and that we are physical manifestations of the spirit from the earth itself.our traditonal name we are known as is Kitsune.often when a kitsune is first born we must remain in our fox forms for one hundred years before we even take on a human form. Most kitsunes are born when a kitsune in a human form takes a human lover our companion,but the discrepancy of how i was born was dramatically different then most other kitsunes. to understand this my mother was a child of the light and a celestial kitsune born within the heavens and my father was a demon that stood in human form,they fell in love and became companions. I found out shortly after i was born my demon father was killed. I an my mother lived with another pack of kitsunes but because of my mothers lover,and the ever growing magic in my viens we were soon cast out. My magic was growing at a rate higher then most kitsunes and even rivaled that of some demon lords. But my mother swore to protect me.about twenty years before my human form i grew my second tail and recently ive grown my third.to tell the age of kitsunes is young would be one thru three tails while old would be nine tails.
A war among men and demons happened when i was still young as my blood i felt driven to help the other demon folk but as a kitsune i was considered not to be of either side, and my mother stayed behind and fought for my safety telling me to run,but i was frozen in fear as it was the first time i seen violence on any large scale.i watched my mother fight the sun radiating off of her fur in golden hues, she moved so quickly a trail of fire followed her every step, then a volley of arrows came, several of them stuck in my mother bought she fought on, the golden hues of light now tarnished with the stains of blood, she continued to fight,then the second volley of arrows came, and struck my mother down, i ran to her wanting to be by her side,i stayed with her in the midst of battle so her last dying momments she could spend with some one she knew, when she finnaly died i felt a rise of magic in me, then i had blackened out. When i woke again the mass of soldiers and demons around me were all dead and where my mother died my magic created a living tree like an over sized cherry blossom. for several years after the incident i went there to visit the tree and the grave of my mother,one year i found a collar made from the limbs of the tree but none of the wood was cut,it was my mothers last gift of her will to me,i wear it even now, yet it is only visible in my human form. I have much more of a story to tell but at the momment i need rest from reliving my memories."
Ra-Kaziels layed down beside roses feet and fell into a short nap his whiskers brushing across her ankles and his laps making fluttering noises with every breath.
Gina had gently fallen asleep as she sat in Rose's lap. Her eyes flickered open as she heard the voices around her. At first she couldn't understand what was going on or where she was. Her eyes opened all the way finally and she looked around. She found that during her small nap more people had come in. Gina looked up at Rose for a moment then around the room again. She noticed the smaller boy with the sheep and Skarlett had both left. She spotted a few people she knew. She looked over and saw a fox and giggled gently. Gina was feeling slightly better, but still needed some rest. Rose, I want to go my room and sleep. She said in a gentle voice. Gina didn't know exactly where her room was so she waited for Rose to tell her.
Wind blows through the doors, cold and moist as if it was to snow and with it came light flakes before a small snow tornato roamed through, the ice building together till a form was made and from that stepped William. Looking around William smiled seeing that there was quite the crowd around and so he simply remained quite till he was spoken to.
Sai flew hard and fast, laughing loud AMD smiling he was reminded of his childhood as he raced back to Lady Rose from the beautiful Lady Phoenix, as he flew he saw the garden he first landed in even though he couldn't see anyone there except a handful of servants, Sai drop from the sky again heading straight for the ground. Once again just before he hit the ground he spread his night black wings and pushed halting his momentum in an instant as he alighted gently on the ground. Sai walked briskly to the throne room hoping to have beat William, as Sai opened the door he began to see quite a crowd of claims some he recognized and nodded a quick greeting off to them others he did not know, as he walked past the door he noticed William. Sai smiled and shook he's head " youre too fast William far top fast" he said knowing William would hear him fine from across the room, Sai cross the room to stand five feet away from Rose and bowed low from the waist. " M'lady we are back at the request of Phoenix as she has been summoned away."
Williams eyes glance around as a voice had came to him with his name, looking around to find the source he seen Sai and chuckled briskly "Not really, just thanks to the moister in the air i made it first" he smiled before walking up beside him "Though next time could be different.." he said cooly with a small laugh following as he followed Sai's action and bowed to Lady Rose "Ah but Sai here and I have some unfinished business if you and a few others would like to watch..? That is if Sai would like to accept thus challenge?" he chuckled as he awaited reply
Rose looked over to see Ember and Chaos seeming to have gotten over whatever had been bothing them both. IT made her smile to see them looking happy with one another. She didnt know what Phoenix did or said but she couldnt help but over hear something Chaos about his blood and it being demon. She faintly heard him say something about being unsure what affect it would have on Ember. It made her smirk and actually speak up.
Chaos, please forgive my interrupting your conversation but I couldnt help but slightly over hear. Then again, it is my throne room. I thought I would clear up that your blood shouldnt have an affect on Ember. There is more to it then simply drinking it. Again, I am sorry I interrupted.
She smiled at them and then looked out into the room. She was waiting on Ra-Kaziel to answer her about his life when Gina got her attention. Rose looked down at Gina with a smile and nodded softly to her.
Alright little Gina. You go out of my throne room and down the hall like your going to go back outside. Take the second stair well on the left. Its the right side of the castle when your coming in. Your room will be the second floor last room on the right. But I would rather someone carry you for now. You look too tired to me.
She smiled as she nodded towards one of the guards. A maid came with him as she watched him take Gina gently from her arms. She gave Gina a soft kiss on her forehead before she was lifted by the guard.
I shall be here when you wake up. Maybe Gabriel will be here for a visit and you can visit with him as well. If you need anything, simply tell the maid and she will bring it to you. Get some sleep ok.
She smiled as the guard and maid took Gina up to her room. Rose didnt want to see her hungry or hurting anymore. Rose was watching them leave when she heard Ra-Kaziel speak into her mind again. She looked at him as he looked at her and told his story. Her heart broke for him and wished she could lift him into her lap like a little cat and pet the pain away. She watched him move and lay down at her feet. She felt the whiskers touching her ankles and his breathing sounds. Rose leaned down and ran her finger tips over his head and behind his ears. As she did so, she spoke softly into his mind hoping he would hear her in his dreams.
Ra-Kaziel, I am sorry you have had such a rough life. I have had my own share of hardships. You may stay here in my castle for as long as you wish. No need to run anymore.
She smiled before she heard the sounds of males speaking to her. It was William and Sai. She gave them a smile and a nod of the head in greeting as she crossed her legs gracefully.
I am guessing that Phoenix isnt coming with you then. I wonder what could have happened. But then again she is one of the leaders of the protecters under Arsen and Lucifer so I am not surprised at all. Maybe she will come back and visit soon. As far as having business to continue, I think the fighting can wait for now. I would like to know more about the both of you since Phoenix has already seen your fighting skills. She will have to give me a report once she comes back.
She smiled at them both as she relaxed back in her throne. She wondered if Joshua had been summond as well or simply Phoenix. She looked over at the twins as they both yawned and looked like they could fall asleep in their fathers chair. She shook her head slightly and turned back to face the throne room. Rose's Dress
William chuckled and nodded as Lady rose had spoken "Thats a shame but if you say then so it shall my dear.." he smiled before walking over to his main spot as his chair formed itself and he sat looking around to the others before to Lady Rose "So my Queen, what would you like to know..?" he begun as he crossed his legs "My Cration, My past, or what, just name it.." he smiled softly to her.
He didn't exactly know what to say nor how to start and so thats the reason he'd rather be asked the question the Lady would more rather like to know about of him.
Sai chuckled at williams offer to spar some more, and wasnt very disappointed at Rose's refusal of such an event at the present time. " No my Princess, the Lady Phoenix isnt to return with at the present time but i am sure that she shall come visit very soon" he said with a small yet graceful bow as he smiled at Princess Rose. He watched as William formed a chair and sat quite gracefully into it, he asked the Princess what she wished to know. Sai took this oppotunity to think briefly and to set how he was going to tell his tale. he sucked in a deep breath as he began to speak. " Well milady, i was once a Prince of a vampire kingdom that is indeed quite a distance from these beautiful lands. My father ruled the lands for a very long time, since the kingdom began but that is a rumor, funny thing is everybody knows that it isnt true." he chuckled deeply upon the fond memories which were flooding his mind. " anyways, we for quite sometime thought we were a big and powerful kingdom, it turns out we were very very misguided, our wise men believed so strongly that our piece of this planet where all that was to it that we didn't travel far into the grand oceans surrounding our kingdom. unfortunately the rest of the world wasnt so foolish and a large army caught us unaware and with our pants down so to speak, we were slaughtered. most of my brothers died in the first attacks. we rallied together and barely fought them off but not before they raped and plundered most of our land of its wealth. we were in desperate times. i suggested in my anger and my new found knowledge of what truly was out there that the Kingdom become blades for hire, and that a select few would become blades in the night, for that was were the true money lied. the council agreed and my father made the ruling. i was entrusted with the training of the Brotherhood, the select warriors to become deadly assassins. We became well known through out the world but with that reputation came blame, we had so many wars thrusted upon us our Treasury was over flowing, but so was the blood the enemies and ours our kingdom dwindled i decided i could no longer suppose our wars, we were no longer in trouble so i took the brotherhood from the kingdom and decided to branch out. This is what lead me here, to find glory for my Brotherhood and maybe even started a new chapter. now you know abridged version of my past." as he finished he gestured to a hand maid who brought him a nice chalice full of warm blood. Sai drank from it casually waiting upon the princess' evaluation of him and his past.
OOC: I am so sorry for the delay you guys. My net was out so had to do without for alittle bit. But everything is back now so wont have to wait for response.
Rose looked at William as he seemed disappointed by her saying the further fighting wasnt required. She simply smiled at him and shook her head as he moved to take a seat again. As he moved and his chair formed, she looked to Sai who spoke about Phoenix. Rose simply nodded and understood far too well.
Thank you Sai. She helps lead the protectors as does my husband. I can understand her being busy.
She gave him a smile and turned her attention back to William before she spoke to both men.
Alright, though I want to know more about both of you, I have made a decision. William, I will offer you a position in my court. I think you would make a good knight here. Sai, I would offer you a position as well but... Yours will come later. You had just only arrived and I would like to see how well you do here before I make anything official.
She gave both men a smile and heared William speak about what she wanted to know. She was about to answer him when Sai spoke up and began to tell his story. Rose's attention was taken by the man telling his story though by the time he came to the end of it, she knew it wasnt a complete version. He confirmed it but what he told was enough of an answer for her. She smiled and gave a nod.
Thank you Sai. It seems you have a very interesting life so far even if you gave the short version. William, I simply wish to know more about your past. If you both wish to know something of me, then simply ask. It would be only fair.
She gave them both a smile as she relaxed more into her chair. She crossed her legs gracefully, her dress flowing over her feet like a silver water fall with shimmering stars being cast into it. Rose was a patient woman and always wanted to hear about those under her rule. But she also knew that sometimes those under her rule wished to know about their princess. Rose's Dress
William nodded as he listened to Lady Rose spoke before looking to Sai as he jumped to the idea and begun his story and so he sat there, legs cross, and listened the the mans story as he begun to learn a little of his past and when he finished William nodded as a few things made more since of the man.
Moments after Sai had finished Williams attention got taken back to LAdy Rose as she spoke of him being hired onto the courts and arose from his chair walking up to the steps and knelled onto the steps facing Rose "Much Honored my Lady.." he begun as he heard of her wanting to know more of his past and thought for a moment "Well you.. No never mind that is Lady Phoenix i spoke with.." he chuckled and arose and entered his seat again "Well as you know I am a mix of both Vampire and Demon even to me my origin is unknown, but years ago i was, i guess you'd call, a Lonesome King of my own land, Using my powers to entrap myself in the center of a unending razor sharp blizzard, all was more so to keep others away, People was quite the annoyance to me.." he chuckled "But before that, i was a protector.. A protector to a small group, a woman and some children, at first when i met them they was but mere food but something the the youngest did stroke my being with such force i had to retreat.." he chuckled in remembrance "Some how one thing lead to another, Due to my interest i followed the group for quite the miles feeding upon the bandits and rouges that attempted them while they would have known nothing, but at the time it wasn't to protect, it was for game i cant remember my thoughts now but i know it wasnt the best, but as i said one thing lead to another, i started to feel for them after learning they knew nothing of their own being nor their families, they knew only loneliness till the Lady of the group took them in, well sorta speak. All this i learned while traveling with them in the shadows till one day a small army came upon them, I couldnt make it... All but the youngest was slaughtered but still she died but a few weeks later from nothing other then heartache, though for that week i took her under my wing, i never knew why i had until i awoken this last time, it is cause with her simple action of love truly threw me off, even to her last breath she aloud no pity, no nothing and became a true leader one that had me promise to protect instead of destroy, young one never even knew me but still would not take no for an answer, and that was her dying wish but i never protected nothing instead i found the kingdom that destroyed the poor childs home and as they did to the weak i did to them.." he said with a simple smile "It became my kingdom is snow and ice, with my power i threw the entire kingdom into a never ending blizzard guarded by my dear pet dragon that i created with the souls left behind, the one this lad here killed" he chuckled pointing to Sai "But before that it and I had the battle of out lives, A demon came for my head for the game mainly than the bounty, he was the first i seen to ever be able to tame multiple Hell hounds, neither of us lost, nor won, after a month of non stop fighting it ended with me on the brink of death and he retreated in the same shape as i.. I stayed laying there and covered myself and went into slumber as my dragon guarded the place still all up till now..." he shrugged with a small smile
Lucifer had not wished to split them up, but with the one that had done these atrocities seeming to find more that were wishing to in fact side with him and join him in doing of what he was doing, he wasn't able to do anything less than to make it a bit more quicker than now. Flames started to appear from what was a small flicker of a flame to start, into an eruption of black flames that would form his frame. Stepping from the flames, Lucifer came forth from them to step out into the hallways of the castle of Rose. It was quite the large area, and he sometimes wondered of why it was that people thought to attempt to make such large places when one is unable to make as large of a castle as was his kingdom, but it was no matter. He had his agenda to see to, and perhaps he would see Joshua as well as Rose here when he would see her, and if he would, then he would be a little more than grateful at that. If things would go as smoothly as he would anticipate them to go here, then he would make a side trip and see to if there were any other royals that needed to be warned, though he knew of a prince in the kingdom, and surely he would not need the warning given to him, and the last two that would need telling of this would be Arsen and Luce, and he knew that he wanted to make sure that Luce would be last because it involved their daughter. He surmised that she might know already, but he still did not wish to tell her quite yet. Coming to the doors to Rose's throne room, Lucifer paused for only a moment before then opening the doors of the throne room. He looked upon those that were within the room, seeing that there were some there, and apparently one or two that were directly speaking with the princess at this time. He said in almost a hastened voice, "Rose, princess to the Kingdom of Vampires, I must speak to you at this moment, and it cannot wait for a moment longer than thus." He moved forward, and stood in the middle of the throne room, allowing his full form to be revealed for all to see him as all would know him.
OOC: more or less, that last line means that with the religions that are out there, for there are many, some say that lucifer looks like a beautiful black winged angel, others say that he looks like a half man half goat, etc, etc. and because of him being of absolutely no rank here for being a demon, he can make that illusion to show of what everyone's religious beliefs show him to look like, be it the goat man, the angel, or whatever. ^^ I hope that cleared it up. ^^
The Only Males Who Know No Fear Are
The Ones Who Have Nothing To Lose.
Joshua had left his wife alone for quite a while, but he was sure that the demon guard would keep her safe. He didn't wish to intentionally leave her alone, he just needed to make sure that everything was running in the circles. So far everything seemed fine, but he had to return to possibly keep his circle in place. The demon king flamed inside Rose's castle not caring if he cared anyone with his massive flame or his size. He looked around seeing his wife sitting comfortably on the chair. His over sized chair stood vacant and he frowned not liking that she was alone most of the time. He would have to tell their children to occupy the seat while he was away.
Joshua towered over most people, standing at 6'3" and even taller when he was in his demon form. He gave his wife a soft smile seeing that some claims had gathered around her. Amabilis regina pulchra ora super sedem tuam. He opened his mind to her and whispered softly into her mind. Joshua smiled as he stepped closer ignoring everyone and sitting upon his throne. He looked around an tensed a bit at the smell of sooth and sulfur. his eyes turned into a neon green as he looked upon the room. Joshua had arrived a bit early to catch Lucifer's entrance. The man stood there in a ll his glory. My lord. Joshua crossed his arm over his heart, greeting the higher demon. Joshua was quite surprised over his visit especially since Joshua had tried to cut all ties with demons. Sadly you couldn't hide from Lucifer, he listened as he wished to talk to Rose and he arched a brow. Taking her hand in his he gave it a gentle squeeze giving her comfort and courage to talk to her husband's superior.
My Enemies Have Deemed Me Fearless.
'Tis No Compliment.
*"Lovely queen, you look so beautiful upon your throne."
Rose sat on her throne with a lovely smile on her face. She missed Joshua but knew he was away on business. She looked to William and Sai with a curious gaze. Sai had already told his back story and Rose found it quite interesting before she turned her attention to William. She couldnt help but be slightly surprised that he had spoken more to Phoenix about himself then the woman who took his under her claimage but she didnt voice it. Rose simply sat and listened as he began to tell his tale of his past. She didnt say a word until he finished his story before she spoke to both men.
Well, it seems both of you have had interesting pasts. But it also seems that we all have been driven from our homes before coming to this kingdom. I am glad to have you both as members of my court.
She gave them both a smile before she felt that familiar presence she loved and missed when he was away. Her beloved Joshua was home from the circles as she gave him a loving smile. When she heard his soft voice caress her mind, she let it envelope her insides like a warm fur blanket off their bed on a cold night. She opened her mind to him and spoke to him as if a velvet wind blowing along his strong arms.
Rex fortis, et hic mecum habuisse. Tuus pulcher faciem affert lux in vita mea.
She smiled at him as he took the chair beside her. She knew William knew who he was but she didnt think Sai did.
Sai, may I present my husband. Joshua Kane, the demon king of the seventh circle of hell and one of the leaders of the protectors I spoke of earlier. William you already know him I believe. He is also Phoenix's brother, not by blood but all the same.
She smiled at them before turning her attention to Joshua. She noticed the look on his face and his eyes shifting to neon green. She didnt know what had caused the change before she felt a powerful presence entering their home. Rose's eyes shifted to emerald green and her black wings with silver tips furrowed from her back as the male appeared in her throne room. She had a feeling who it was but as Joshua spoke to him, her thoughts were confirmed. She held a smile of perfection on her lips though inside she was nervous to speak with the lord of the demons. As Lucifer spoke to her of needing to speak to her immediately, she nodded and gave Joshua's hand a gentle squeeze before she stood from her throne. She held her skirt so she would trip as she walked down the couple steps to the main floor. Rose's wings relaxed behind her back though they didnt disappear back into her tattoos. She walked with grace and without fear to stand before Lucifer himself with a smile placed on her lips. She gave a graceful curtsy and spoke to him.
Lucifer, Lord of all demons, It is a pleasure to meet you and welcome you into my home.
She rose back up to her full height and let her dress fall gracefully back into place, her wings furrowed back into her back where her tribal tattoos lay on her skin. Rose placed her hands gracefully on her tummy infront of her and met Lucifer's gaze.
What can I help you with, My lord? Please, have a seat if you have a moment.
She was curious as to why Lucifer was here but apart of her felt like there was a good reason indeed. Yet she didnt want look bad infront of her husbands lord of hell. She was his queen and this was the first time she had met Lucifer. She didnt want to embarrass her demon king husband. She wanted him to always be proud of her as she stood there without fear. Rose's Dress
"Strong king, I have missed you here beside me. Your handsome face brings light into my life."
Lucifer watched as suddenly Joshua had appeared, and only arched a brow a moment, waiting for the two to give their greetings to each other before he would speak at all. "Perfect timing, Joshua. This is something that you have a need to also know about, because you are a demon as well as the ruler of the seventh circle." He looked at Rose, and smirked before then chuckling, and said to her, "I am pleased to meet you, young Rose, though I wish that the meeting would have been under better circumstances. You are in no need of worry to embarrassing Joshua, for he does enough of it on his own, but he is a great demon king, and you should be proud of him as well." He smirked, giving a compliment while also making a light hearted insult. "Now, the reason of my being here...and I do apologize for being so forward, but have you been violated without your consent by someone other than your husband here or know of anyone else having such a misfortune? The reason of my stating this is that there have been some women that have been raped within the kingdom recently, and recent developments have shown that the person behind it is gaining more people behind him to follow."
Gina had been taken by a guard and a maid a while back. She had smiled slightly as Rose's lips had touched her forehead before being whisked away by the guard. She felt safe like she did when Gabriel held her and had fallen asleep in the male's arms. The guard had placed her on the bed in the room Rose had set up for her. The maid shooed him out of the room so she could change Gina's clothes and tuck her into bed. The small child curled up on her side and slept for quite awhile before feeling the need to get up.
Gina sat up and looked around. The maid who had come up with her and tucked her in sat across the room. She smiled and stood when Gina sat up. How long have I slept? Gina asked in a soft sleepy voice. The maid responded telling her she hadn't slept for long. She helped Gina get out of the night gown that hung loosely around Gina's shoulders. Gina stood there, a shivering skeleton, as she waited for a new outfit. The maid brought and helped her get into a simple white dress that had a lace skirt over the top of the silk under skirt. The dress was large on her and slid down Gina's shoulders as the night gown had.
Gina headed down the stairs by herself while the maid began to clean her room. Gina's small feet tapped against the stone floor as she followed the maid instructions down to the throne room. With small delicate hands Gina struggled to push the door open. She had rested and gotten energy, but it didn't give her back the strength she needed. Gina's stomach rumbled silently. She looked up and smiled as she spotted Rose. Her smile soon faltered as she watched Rose bow to another male and begin to speak to him. Gina had to stop the urge to run over and cling to Rose's leg. She looked around silently before deciding to stand close to the door.
Sai listened and nodded to roses request that William would be hired but for the now he would not be> " i understand your grace." he listened with great interest plain for all to see in Williams own story, he even bowed in a show of false pride when his own part came into Williams story, laughed lightly heartedly at his own silliness. As the story ended it seemed many a thing happened quite quickly. first a male tall and imposing in size appeared in flames Sai tensed for a moment or two before he took his seat on the throne, it was then Sai realized it must be Joshua Lord King of the circles of hell and his suspicions where confirmed by the Lady Rose. Sai unfolded his wings and spread them out behind him and bowed low. < font color="red"> " i am honored most high to meet you, my lord. a thousand blessing on your house and family."
just at that moment yet another male appeared in flames however this one didnt need an introduction to Sai, this was Lucifer the Dark One, the Prince of Darkness, Fathers of all Lies and the Harbinger of Death, for this reasonhe was in fact the God any of his brotherhood were told to worship if they must worship something. Sai never did worship him but he respected the Demon all the same. Sai was astonded when He spoke, he was well mannered and polite and it was at that moment Sai laughed at himself, ' what did i expect for Him to start murdering and raping everything in sight.' he thought to himself and smiled a little. that smile was completely washed off his face when he mention someone raping in the kingdom. Sai drew his sword " where is this man, ill gut him for ear to ear." Sai had personal history with rapists and even though he knew his last actions were foolish his angry would not be satisfied with a lesser action. Sai heard the small girl enter the room and decided to put away the sword it wouldnt do to scare the girl, he was fuming with angry and was ready to explode all the same.
William looked to Rose as she spoke of each of them and nodded "Aye but with life such as ours it becomes just.." he shrugged with a smile before glancing at a man who had appeared by flames, his aura was little like Phoenix 'A Demon..?' he thought to himself until he let his name be known, Lucifer. As he was to speak a familiar Voice broke through as his eyes fell upon the Voice as Lady Rose spoke again "Aye i do, My Lord.." he said simply with a bow of the head and remain silent as the three exchanged words only to look to Sai as he busted out, quickly William walked over to him as he faced the Lords and Lady with a smile as he whispered to Sai "Let us not make hasty choice of actions nor words in front of Lady Rose's and Lord Joshua's Guest..." he said quickly as he looked to Rose and Joshua and nodded a bow then looked to Lucifer and done the same "My Lord.." he said before returning to his seat
Ember sits alone her knees pulled up to her chest as she watches the room her eyes darting from person to person. She didn't bother to speak her shyness getting the best of her. Sitting alone her heart sinks as she realizes how alone she really is. Ordering a drink she keeps her eyes in the things going on her hear heavy with sadness. She didn't bother to try and make herself known for she new nothing she said mattered and she new no one would bother speaking to her anyway.
The Only Males Who Know No Fear Are
The Ones Who Have Nothing To Lose.
Joshua sat comfortably in his chair, his over sized hand lacing with his wife, his eyes shifted to one of the claims that Rose was talking to him. He gave the man a short nod, "Nice to meet you." Joshua didn't have much time to talk to the claim for his Lord had appeared in their home. Joshua greeted him in the olden way, his right hand over his heart with a small bow. Joshua was slightly impressed that he had sought them out and wanted to talk to his wife. Joshua watched with eyes swirling with pride as wife stood to greet the all mighty lord. Joshua stood keeping a step behind her keeping her in his sights. She will never embarrass me my lord. At that moment he hugged Rose closer, hearing his lord appreciation meant a great deal to him, especially after past events. Though that was all in the past and he was happy now.
Joshua looked at Lucifer as he made his visit know, the idea of someone touching his wife made him growl. I hope not. Joshua may have been away, but was sure that Rose was kept in everyone's sight. If not he will have to deal with some guards. His eyes shifted to Sai the claim that had greeted him, Joshua glared at the puny little man with his drawn sword. Ease yourself, before you get hurt. Looking at William he nodded before looking at Lucifer. Have you any details of who this male could be? Anywhere I can search for him? Joshua gripped onto Rose a bit tighter not caring if he was showing his possessiveness over his wife, he had a right.
My Enemies Have Deemed Me Fearless.
'Tis No Compliment.
Rose noticed Ember sitting in the corner after she had spoken to Sai and William. Her beloved had come back home and then his demon lord had came to visit. Rose was surprised that Lucifer would ever think to visit her but then again maybe he had heard of the wedding in hell and Rose being crowned as Joshua's queen. She had moved gracefully to greet him with a bow but she was surprised by his little joke about her being afraid of embarassing Joshua. She felt Joshua at her back and smiled as he slipped his arms around her. She caressed his arms gently and couldnt help but lean her head back on his chest as he spoke about her never embarassing him. She smiled at Lucifer as she leaned her head back up and spoke to him.
I am the proud wife and queen to a proud king. How could I ever be embarrassed by my love.
She gave him a regal smile before he finally spoke of his visit. Rose gripped her husbands arm before one of her hands rose to her mouth and her words escaped her mouth before she could do anything to stop her thoughts.
Oh gods. Who would do such a thing.
She heard Joshua's growl and she simply held him as she looked at Lucifer. She heard Sai and William speak but it seemed Joshua took care of them for her as she looked at Lucifer.
Its alright to be blunt. Its best in these time and for someone like that who would dare to hurt a woman. No, I have never been defiled by any man without my permission nor have I been touched in any sort of sexual way by any man other Joshua. I havent heard any of my court being taken in such a way but if I hear of any, I shall let you know. IS there anything I can do to help?
She felt her husbands possessiveness in his arms and it simply helped her relax in his arms. She loved his possessiveness and it kept her safe. She caressed his skin and listened as he spoke to Lucifer. She looked over and saw Gina at the door. She gave her a smile and wondered if she was feeling any better. Her gaze moved back to Lucifer and couldnt help that her eyes held white silver in them. She wasnt afraid of Lucifer but apart of her feared that this evil man would find his way here. She knew she would be safe. Her husband would see to that. She leaned back into his arms and felt his warmth engulfing her, letting her eyes shift back to a silve green with flecks of blue in them. Rose's Dress
Seeing that there was someone that was already wishing to come upon the journey to find this person, Lucifer smirked, and said to the claim of Rose's, "Well, you are free to search with us, but know that the first blood claim is to me, for this bastard has touched mine and Lucina's daughter, as well as apparently a wolf, which Cain, Lucina's brother, is blaming himself for. Fatima spoke of this man also having gaining allies as well, her sire. So far my knowledge shows that he has gone after nobility, or those that are closely connected to those of royal blood, which is cause for the search through the royals here. Phoenix is after Annak now, and Draven is seeking to speak to Zillah. Daemon and Bethany will also have an audience with one of us, and I will find Lucina upon finishing here, for I know that conversation will be hard to handle on it's own." For a moment, a flicker of sadness befell this master of darkness, but it had disappeared just as easily, only looking to them both. "What you can do, is make certain that you do not catch yourself off guard until we have destroyed the person that is doing this. They will not live, I can guarantee that. Rose, if you can send a message to Bethany in order to tell her of such events, or to go there with Joshua so that you have protection and tell her of these transgressions, and to warn her followers, then that would be how you can aid. We need a face, for I have an idea, and if I am right, it is someone from within Lucina's own bloodline..." Lucifer said the last sentence low, making sure that no one would hear other than Joshua and Rose, and took a step back, pausing a moment before then saying to Joshua, "If only I could keep myself next to Luce all the time holding her like that than being as I am, I think that I would be at peace, but then I wouldn't be who I am. Keep careful watch, Joshua, and take care with her. It was enjoyable torturing the demons that attempted to destroy your wedding down in hell, and so that will be the only wedding gift I can offer to you, little Rose." He smirked, and winked at her before once more looking up to Joshua, keeping them both in sight as he waited for what they would say before he would leave to speak to his beloved.
as Matthew maid his way to meet his knew mistress he smirked slighlty as he shuttered "Damned cold." he laughed a little more as he threw the cloak over his shoulder wrappin ghimself in it.. "I can smell three others." he sighed as he removed a homemade clay jug from his side and took a swig from it and tied it back to his hip after placing the cork back within it.. whiping his mouth he spit a little intot he snow "Hmm a little strong this batch." he grinned as he watched the red liquid melt into the snow. "enough of this why am I walking." he spoke to himself "you know Matt you could use your brain a little more powers of an immortal and you decide to walk." laughing to hismelf he moves quickly his movement a blur as he makes his way through the vast hills up to hte large castle. stopping at the door he looked around "hmm this place has a soft feel to it. and soemthing smells sweet." he grinned knocking on the door. as he removed his claok and began to twist it spinnin t faster is began to shrink and he slid it into a little pouch tied to his side. .
his clothing fairly new a sign that he had a bit of money once now slighlty tattered . his long brown hair tied in a poneytial and laying across his right shoulder stopping right below his heart.
Ember had been spacing off when a new sent washed over her. Normal she would have just stayed where she was, sulking, but instead she stood and walked to the door as a soft tapping echoed through the room. Her long purple dress sweeping across the floor. Pulling her jet black hair to drape over one shoulder.
Reaching forward she grabs ahold of handle and pulls the door open.
There her dark purple emotionless eyes wander over the man standing before her.
"You don't need to knock this is your home Sir"
She say her eyes finally meeting his.
"Please come in Princess Rose is always happy to meet her new claims." She says stepping aside to let him in. "My name is Ember by the way" she ads moving her gaze respectfully to the floor.

Rose looked around her throne room as she noticed Skarlett. She looked as though she had just woken up and startled at that. She was about the speak when she saw her looking around the room. Rose simply graced her with a smile before she finally stood from her chair, giving a nod and then heading out the door. Rose simply returned the nod and let her retire to her rooms. Rose simply breathed as she held Gina in her lap. She looked up at the boy as he spoke to her. He seemed to be rambling and Rose found it quite cute until he spoke the name blood suckers and leeches. Dont you dare call my mother a blood sucker. She is a vampiric Angel. Gideon rose from the chair him and his twin began sitting in not long ago. Rayner rose with his brother to defend his mother as well. She isnt a leech either. Rose cleared her throat as she looked to the twins. She spoke to them in a soft yet stern voice.
Gina had gently fallen asleep as she sat in Rose's lap. Her eyes flickered open as she heard the voices around her. At first she couldn't understand what was going on or where she was. Her eyes opened all the way finally and she looked around. She found that during her small nap more people had come in. Gina looked up at Rose for a moment then around the room again. She noticed the smaller boy with the sheep and Skarlett had both left. She spotted a few people she knew. She looked over and saw a fox and giggled gently. Gina was feeling slightly better, but still needed some rest. Rose, I want to go my room and sleep. She said in a gentle voice. Gina didn't know exactly where her room was so she waited for Rose to tell her. 
Joshua had left his wife alone for quite a while, but he was sure that the demon guard would keep her safe. He didn't wish to intentionally leave her alone, he just needed to make sure that everything was running in the circles. So far everything seemed fine, but he had to return to possibly keep his circle in place. The demon king flamed inside Rose's castle not caring if he cared anyone with his massive flame or his size. He looked around seeing his wife sitting comfortably on the chair. His over sized chair stood vacant and he frowned not liking that she was alone most of the time. He would have to tell their children to occupy the seat while he was away.
Gina had been taken by a guard and a maid a while back. She had smiled slightly as Rose's lips had touched her forehead before being whisked away by the guard. She felt safe like she did when Gabriel held her and had fallen asleep in the male's arms. The guard had placed her on the bed in the room Rose had set up for her. The maid shooed him out of the room so she could change Gina's clothes and tuck her into bed. The small child curled up on her side and slept for quite awhile before feeling the need to get up.
