Their was a weight to Williams hand, she found her head hurt suddenly. She couldn't place the odd sensation but something in her reacted. It was a shiver that ran through her spine as she closed her eyes. William's hand seemed there to steady for her but she was left dizzy.<br/><br/>The ginger's guard was silent, it didn't come rush in anyway to make itself apparent to it's host. It was a shadow, tracing it's way through her veins, outlining the walls of her heart with tender touches. It was a seed that had always been there, waiting to bloom.<br/><br/><i>Beyond Vivian's memories it had hibernated. The thing had never been allowed to wake, repressed by matters beyond it's control but it belong there like the air in her lungs for it and the child had come into the world as one. It had become aware of itself with the first beat of the child's heart in it's mother womb. It was light, it was pure and no wants or needs content as it wait for the child to grow. It watched over the child in it's mute ways and stayed with it as they departed the safe refuge of mother. It had listen to the voice for many months, but when the time came something was going wrong. The life of the child was dimming, the little flame would blow out with it before the pair had a chance to meet. It couldn't have that, it knew it was wrong, it knew it was suppose to go but it found it couldn't. It gave itself to the child, it wanted to stay with the child. The little flame didn't have much to give but it gave until it was just smoldering. It would have to wait to meet the child, it was tired...</i><br/><br/><i>When It had the energy to come upon itself again it found itself trapped. Some our side force keeping it from reaching for the child, touching it, finding it's voice and learning to speak with the child. It was trapped.</i><br/><br/><i>It could only watch.</i><br/><br/><i>From there the child went from cage to cage.  No chances were taken, even the transfer from one cage to another was orchestrated with It in mind.</i><br/><br/>Now It was here, it had saved so much energy in itself waiting for a moment to slip past the bars and forge a key for itself. Still it knew the feeling of a predator beside it's child. It would find a place to settle for now was not the time.<br/><br/>Vivian took in another breath, heart still pounded. It felt like she still wasn't fully here, she should of eaten more of her breakfast.<br/><br/>William spoke, drawing her away from her mind and into him. The hand on her shoulder was reassuring, she had no other to offer her comfort so what she could in this moment. She let him know she was fine and he removed his hand, setting nearly behind him.<br/><br/>His last question hung in the air. Above this a robin swirled through the air and she was left to wonder. What song was even playing for her now. William had yet to make it clear how he expected her to dance, weaver had suggested the steps but she had know the moves.<br/><br/>She tucked her hands behind her back and turned to peek up at him. She tried to stand as tall as she could manage. "Who says I even have to dance," she resorts.<br/><br/>She stepped past the gate and the world didn't descend in chaos, she had simply gotten dizzy. She would be alright, she would learn to live with William, though he was technically her Master she still did not aim to offer him the same luxuries she had offered his grandfather. Still, part of her it find it enjoyable to not only get to learn things about the man but the others she had met this morning and the world, even if it was a little scary.<br/><br/>They stepped past the Gates, beyond the sight of the pair and beyond Vivian's awareness, four shrines at the corners of the property prospered again about the ginger stepping into the cage. They drew on her in a ways did not understand for she was not aware. It was aware, It had always been and now sought revenge.<br/><br/>The four batteries drew in their charge as was their design, syphoning excess mana from Vivian, it always had for that was what had made her priceless beyond the red hair she thought was her claim. The House was the same, it child was same, something about them made it drip like small streams. It was why her Master had wanted her, It had had enough of this. It sepped onto the flow and corrupted, claimed it as its own.<br/><br/><div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-single-image="1" data-src="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/attachments/d17255b4cb5195b5f41e83252d107760-jpg.94489/" title="d17255b4cb5195b5f41e83252d107760.jpg">

</div><br/><br/>All four shrines cracked in a single moment. It was satisfied.<br/><br/>Vivian paused, the headache was gone just as quickly as it had arrived. "Before living here there was only the House. It's where we waited for Masters, it was quite dull. I think the green of the estate in beautiful," she paused and glared at him. Her cheeks puffed up, "you better not mess with my flower garden."<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>In another place a man smiled to himself, and then a chuckle.<br/><br/>"Lord what is so amusing," a tall and thin man asked the broad blonde, he was sitting on his own throne, a woman nestled between his legs. He reached down grabbing the girls dark hair, pulling back and displaying elven features. He snickered as he shoved the girl across the room and away from his exposed member. "I just found something I lost a long long time ago."
