<span style="font-size: 85%; line-height: 116%;">Mina smiled at Neos as he was his happiest around water, "I can only dream of what you are hearing, love...Share with me what you hear..?" Mina placed her hand on his face, staring into his gorgeous sea colored eyes. It was then the maid came racing out, Mina's focus was shattered as she stared at the woman. Her eyes then went wide when she mentioned her brother. "...it's...Drake..Marcus..Please. I need you." Mina looked almost upset as she kissed Neos, a small smile on her lips as she pulled away, "We will have to leave you...it's more dangerous if you came inside...Drake is my twin but he is...lacking of any soul at all. My Father loves him dearly but only for his art of War that he has mastered...I have to take Marcus to ensure that I can return to you." A single tear of crimson ran down her face and onto the white sand as she and Marcus suddenly vanished. "<span style="font-style: italic">Please...be careful</span>." Mina's voice echoed in the darkness.<br/><br/><br/>Marcus and Mina entered into the foyer - Marcus already bowed to his other Master, "Master Draconis - good evening." Mina just stared up at the bloodied Drake. "Draconis. It's been a long time brother....Such a pleasure seeing you...and you're killing my court. Why?" Mina gestured to the six dead vampire remains strewn about the room. Drake smiled viciously down at his lovely sister, slowly making his way down the stairs, "I heard from the birds that you have a new toy that you haven't been sharing. Now, usually I don't care what kind of company you keep seeing as you are the Princess....but I do care when you and the toy get too attached." The last word was almost growled out as he reached the final step, about ten feet away from Mina and Marcus. "Mina...you know how I don't like it when you have feelings. I'm surprised Marcus didn't stop this...You are Dracul. You are Vlad's <span style="font-weight: bold">BLOOD</span>. Mina Elizabeth Dracul...I <span style="font-weight: bold">will</span> kill him if you don't stop this." Drake was now face to face with her, a hand beneath her chin and the blood from the others now dripping onto Mina's face. Marcus stared at Drake, watching his movements carefully...he was warning her...but if he were to do more...Marcus had to stop him.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Elsewhere, two glowing red eyes stared dead on at Neos near the water. He wasn't going to stay hidden anymore - this...Slave, had to die. "So you are what Mina has chosen....What makes you so much better than me? You're just human...Maybe you're just her supplier." Erik laughed as he approached him - in his hand a vibrant silver dagger, almost long enough to be considered a short sword, "Whichever you are...I can't let you keep her. Mina is spoken for and she has to have that way. Royal bloodline and all. No hard feelings...?" Erik smirked, his tone like acid. At about ten feet away, Erik decided to charge Neos - Fangs and dagger ready to spill his blood.</span>
