Scambo 09-28-2008 10:49 PM<br/>The doors of the Mage council hall swung open easily, admitting the lupines and their guest inside. To normal humans and those who lacked heightened senses the council hall was just another building. But to the Awakened, it was a site that radiated power, the ancient magic that had built and formed it permeating through the years. Jack took a deep breath once inside, taking in the power and infinity that was magic. It had been a long time since he had been in a magically imbued place and he felt its effects immediately. He felt more aware of his surroundings, his mana felt infinite and he felt powerful enough to move mountains if he wished. That was the dark side of magic, its power was addictive, like a drug and if you were too frivolous with its use then the consequences were devastating. He shuddered, thinking of the lack things that lurked between the dimensions, waiting to escape and destroy. He turned his attention back to the meeting, seeing the Moros council mage sitting in her position looking imposing with a black cloak draped about her figure. He had never really met most of the council, Obrimos excluded, but for the most part they were tight assed, close minded authoritarians, preferring to stick with what was known and safe as opposed to discovering and exploring different possibilities. Then again, with a substance as volatile and unpredictable as magic, it was sometimes better to reserve judgment. Impatiently, she rose and stormed out to seek the vampires. Minutes later, one came blundering into the council hall carrying several pieces of equipment. He began setting up, making it clear that he had no intention of presenting what information he had until the prince arrived.<br/>Typical vampire nobility. Believe that their vampirism places them so far above everyone else and immortality played a pretty big factor. Then again, I love proving them wrong. He shifted in his seat, insuring that his 44. was within reach. He had loaded it with specialized phosphorus cartridges that after a little enchanting, made special UV bullets. In case things went awry, which was very likely. The door opened again, this time admitting an arrogant vampire, probably a part of the prince's guard. Though he made an effort to conceal it, he had to be carrying weapons. The prince still had yet to enter, and the tension was palpable.<br/>Pompous bastard probably has his head jammed so far up his ass he can't find his way.<br/><br/>Aviose 09-29-2008 09:55 PM<br/>Once the equipment was properly set up, Aviose strode into the building holding his head up high. He personally could care less about making them all wait, the mere fact that the prince was here should cause them all to feel honored. But he knew the werewolves weren't that appreciative, and probably wished to lunge out and attempt to tear him limb from limb. But they would be foolish to try, the hosting mage would not allow any violence in her halls, nor did he think any of them could get past Memnoch. And, if by some fluke they did, Aviose was more than ready to defend himself. His cold eyes scanned the room, paying special attention to the one called Shey. He heard of this young leader, and from what he did hear she was quite fearsome. Turning to the leaders, he offered them a customary bow, his cloak billowing as if in a breeze.<br/><br/>He did not say a word, merely took his place opposite the werewolves and sat, with Memnoch at his left and Azhir to his right. For a meeting such as this, tradition said that it was the rightful duty of the host to bring the meeting to order before any discussion would take place.<br/><br/>Ladypuppet 09-30-2008 05:23 PM<br/>Lady Cutra was growing extremely impatience with the vampires dare she think stupidity. She had given them a time to be there so far the werewolves had soon up on time. Her magic flared her up to a dangerous high, sending her robes up in a flurry. Her voice came out in a chilled voice â€œYou dear prince has 15 minutesâ€¦After that those door will seal until something has been decided.â€ She turned and stopped at the Alpha that was from the Black Rose Pack. â€œAnd you werewolf what your tongue, I donâ€™t care if there were or not, you will not be disrespectful in my presents or I will have you removed. I will not tolerate, fighting, much less disrespect.â€ After her voice pierced through the room cold and softly. She moved back toward the table as small sigh erupted from her body. She was aware that some of them had weapons but choose not to say anything about them yet. Moving up the stairs she slowed her pace, only to stop at the end and stood there. â€œI know you have your difference but please try to understand each other. This meeting was called to try and solve problems not create new ones.â€ She spoke out not really to anyone person but just a thought. After Lady Cutraâ€™s voice subsided she moved back to her chair and slowly sat back down, almost as it looked like she was pained. She looked down slight to her hands. â€œ5 minutesâ€¦left.â€ Her dead gaze fell upon the vampire named Memnoch and smirked softly. â€œWhere is you precious Vampire prince..â€ She snickered out coldly. Her patience worn extremely thin. Soon after the prince entered the door shut with a hiss."Finally his majesty decides to join us." She says in a sacastic tone. Soon she stood up pushing the chair back cuasing it to scrap across the floor." I take it you all know why you are here...I'am Lady Cutra the Moros mage...and i have agreed in seeing you both here...to try and come to a treaty..you will both be give your chance to speak..Choose you words wisely. And i don't want to see any fighting..or any forms of volient notations...i would hate to interven. So let us begin...When you speak state your name...pack...or vampire...leader...and then you may give your reasoning for your fighting and try to find a resolve...."(Sorry if thats confusing..I couldn't think of anything.) After this Cutra sat down the hood still covered her face. She nodded her head to one of the male...alpha...werewolves..so he could begin. She tapped her fingers a piece of parachment and quill sat in front of her. And so she waited for him to give his speach.*<br/><br/>Forgotten Wolf 09-30-2008 09:39 PM<br/>The meeting********************************<br/><br/>Brian had been awfully quiet mostly because he was trying to keep his own rage from breaking out upon the world. Also he kind of hoped that Shey would work out some of her frustration before the meeting startedâ€¦ unfortunately everything seemed to work against that hope.<br/><br/>First the mage addressed Viktor first as an alpha which caused a small grin to appear on the pompous wereâ€™s face that only got wider with seeing Sheyâ€™s reaction. Then the vampires were late and the whole tension between the two groups seemed to make first reactionsâ€¦ unfavorable to say the least. Brian especially scowled to see Ahzar again after his attempt to get Brian to help him get rid of the Prince.<br/><br/>When the Prince finally entered tensions still ran highâ€¦ maybe even more so and the mage council lady wasnâ€™t helping with her attitude. Moros huhâ€¦. So a necromancer and alchemist. Brian thought to himself. This could get very ugly if she has to step inâ€¦ possibly even more so for the vampires.<br/><br/>Briefly lost in his thoughts, Brian almost missed Cutra singling for them to start but he did move quickly once he noticed Viktor was getting ready to stand and speak. Brian couldnâ€™t allow him to start or else the meeting would surely fall apart. He rose from his seat and addressed the gathered supernaturals. â€œMy name is Brian Oâ€™Rielly and I am the Alpha of the Chameleon pack. I am the one to have called this meeting together in hope to work out a cease-fire between the vampires and werewolves due to recent human hunter activity. As most of you are most likely aware, human attacks on supernaturals have increase significantly in the last month or so and what is worse is the success of these attacks. My own pack has suffered from one such attack. Hopefully we can come to an a least temporary peace so we can properly decide what shall be down about this situation.â€ Brian took his seat again and ignored the insulted gaze from Viktorâ€¦ Brian hoped someone would speak up soon before Viktor had the chance.<br/><br/>Chris sat near the middle of the table, eyes flipping back and forth from one side to another. He was still an intermediary and stuck around to try and keep the situation as calm as possible. He also had another role; if an agreement was met he could magically bind the two parties to it as all changelings had that power. If the groups stuck to the agreement then there might be a bonus for them and if on broke their side then they would suffer.<br/><br/><br/>TFV*********************************************<br/><br/>â€œOkay, so you all have the plan now?
