Elvenoff 11-08-2008 11:04 AM<br/>The midnight wind began its whithering expansion claiming all, even the cities darkest streets were no match for the invisible stalker. Strands of white hair floated across the cold, staring eyes of Romstrahd VonZarivich. He stood glaring into the night as if there were some secret message floating about the small swirls of wind. 'Why would the prince send this haphazard messenger to give him a message that he already knew?' His mind wondered, but came to no conclusion. Then there was this simpleton test of seek and find, something that is issued to newly embraced kindred. A chuckle escaped the three hundred year old pure breed. â€œThere is something amidst here and I shall find out what it is.â€ he whispered into the creeping midnight air.<br/><br/>Turning back to the lycan centurions to ensure that the peace still existed between them, he slowly turned away and walked into the darkness. It was time, it was time to let the kindred know that he was here. Releasing the shield that concealed his powers, he allowed it to flourish into the midnight air. It was time to bring this nonsense into a more organized perspective.<br/><br/>The city darkness fell to his senses as he walked down the back streets of this hell spawned city. His thoughts were only on what was needed to bring order back into the grasp of the prince. This place reeked of renegade kindred, untrained Neonates, and the scent of many other supernaturals. He shook of the Hellspawn effects and proceeded to where the prince was staying.<br/><br/>The three block building loomed over the other buildings that surrounded this monoliths structure. Rom's eyes glared over the black marble structure with a slight shaking of his head. â€œThe center of operations.â€ he gestured to himself as he eyed the several sentries that were looming about the shadows. Making his way to the guarded entrance. â€œRomstrahd VonZarivich, I am here to see the prince.â€ they nodded, for they knew he was coming.<br/><br/>Walking into the complex, he slowly made his way where the prince was awaiting for him. Gently he rapped upon the door and awaited for his approval to enter into the room.<br/><br/>braioch8201 11-08-2008 03:24 PM<br/>Enoch sighed, it seemed for the most part that the Vampiric population of the city was within control, and they were actually getting ready for the coming storm. He was glad for it, but still a little unnerved by the lack of response from all of leaders he had contacted, he would have the this fought with only his kind, but it still would be more comforting to have others to aid.<br/><br/>He glared at Memnoch for a moment, it was ridiculous that he had left his invited guest out on the streets. If it was anyone else but Memnoch he would have all but verbally, possibly physically blasted them, but Memnoch was Memnoch. He shook his head, his brow perking at the sensing of a new presence within the complex.<br/><br/>A sharp rapping at the door announced who he had been waiting for, he sighed again with relief this time. He gave Memnoch a warning look who promptly ignored it.<br/><br/>He turned towards the door, "Come in brother, come in, and make yourself comfortable for god's sake."<br/><br/>Elvenoff 11-09-2008 03:14 AM<br/>"Come in brother, come in, and make yourself comfortable for god's sake." Echoed past the large oak door, giving Rom the permission to move forward. Stepping into the large plush office, Romstrahd's gaze ventured forward and about the room, noting the location of the prince and the messenger that was sent to meet him.<br/><br/>Stepping just in front of the prince, Romstrahd's offered his respect by giving a small bow of the head, â€œGreetings, Milord.â€ He stood straight and strong, his eyes focused upon the prince. â€œI have responded to your call from the Ventrue clan of Europe.â€ his form didn't change even as he stood before the prince. His gaze drifted from the prince to the big office window that gave a perfect view of the city. â€œThe streets that I ventured down this evening seemed to give a false pretense that all is well, but I take it that is not the case.â€<br/><br/>His gaze returned to the prince briefly, â€œIs there anything in particular that you want me to do?â€ His gaze drifted from the prince to the messenger that was sitting down on the far end of the office table before taking his seat respectfully. â€œFor if there is milord, I wish to perform this task immediately.â€ Romstrahd's didn't care for some of the kindred's need to prolong things so that they could daunt their powers in front of everyone.<br/><br/>Ladypuppet 11-09-2008 01:19 PM<br/>*Cutra looked over to him and tilted her head. She looked causing reality to bend to her whim and then as a she picked up a glass with a black wine filed the glass. She gave a sigh and leaned slowly against him and looked at up at him.* â€œDherris why have you taken a sudden interest in me one that you never showed before.â€ *She looked up questioning him her eyes dulled in the dim light she sipped softly on the blood, that had filled her glass a blood wine died black. She looked up at him. Again and curled her feet under her slightly picking them up off the floor.* â€œI never thought that you would ever take interest that anyone would ever take interest in me.â€ *She looked and felt a tear slip down her cheek she never showed her emotions to anyone why was she letting them show now.* â€œIâ€™m sorry I didnâ€™t want you to see me cry please donâ€™t think less of me for it.â€ *She whimpered out softly as she snuggled slightly closer into him.*<br/><br/>*She looked down slightly liking to be able to be this close to a man, one that didnâ€™t think she was a bitch, or a whore, or anything ill mannered about her. She aloud the warm tears that followed down her cheeks. She had meant what she had said about not wanting to kill him. Dherris was the only man she felt comfortably around and didnâ€™t feel like she was just a toy or some pretty girl to look at. She closed her eyes softly and took another sip of her wine.*<br/><br/>â€œDherris, I donâ€™t get it why did I have to have this fateâ€¦Why did I have to be a mage?!â€ *She asked not expecting and answer and gave a small sigh.* â€œThe only reason why I asked to the back room is so that I could be with you. I was the only one that didnâ€™t vote you off the councilâ€¦ the only one that wanted you to stayâ€¦â€ *There she had finally said finally let him know how she felt she buried her face against him crying shuddering hard and shakes softly against him.* â€œForgive me for being so weakâ€¦Dherris.â€ *She shudders, she only wanted what she never had she had never felt. She looked down and curls slightly as her knew that her life was calling her back but she didnâ€˜t want to lose this moment.*<br/><br/>Forgotten Wolf 11-09-2008 03:30 PM<br/>Dherris wrapped his arm around the sobbing archmage and held her for several seconds. He brought his head down to whisper to her though it was quite unnecessary due to their location. â€œIâ€™ve always been interested with you. Itâ€™s just now there is no need for you to wear the mask you put up for everyoneâ€¦ maybe even yourself.â€ He planted a light kiss a top of her head.<br/><br/>He didnâ€™t have an answer for her as to â€˜why she had to be a mageâ€™ but he had possibly an understanding as to what she was feeling in that regard. He had asked himself that question many times after he discovered what he wasâ€¦ After his Awakening made it impossible to defend himself against allegation thrown at him by his superiors in the police force. His memories of the necessary times were completely gone because his astral self was signing his name on the walls of his tower. Ultimately this caused him to be thrown off the force. Funny that he was later thrown out of the Arrows because of the use of his magic powers.<br/><br/>He brought his other hand up ran it lightly down from near the top of her head, down the side of her face till it reached her chin. With gentle force, he brought her face back up till she was looking at him again. He carefully brushed the stray strands of hair from her tear streaked face. â€œYou are not being weak Cutra.â€ He said with a small smile, â€œAs a matter of factâ€¦â€ He slowly and carefully came forward to place gentle kiss upon her lips. He broke the kiss a second later with a slightly wider grin upon his face. â€œIâ€™m glad to see you actually have that heart I hoped you were hiding from the worldâ€¦ next time donâ€™t be so selfish.â€
