Vylianne – F – Vampire
****


Vylianne saw it all… or most of it, but she wouldn’t admit she saw anything or nothing. Getting into the ship was rather easier than expected from her point of view, she never thought Lantis could be so careless. But of course, he never did prove himself to be much of a surprise in any rate… or any threat. Even a young Yuar could take on Lantis… but that had been many many years ago. Vylianne thought Lantis would have changed, and he did. But in her opinion, it was the worse in the technique of fighting.

She grabbed the vent’s door before it hit the floor easily, and slowly she lifted it up back into the vent and set it down gently with out a trace of noise in the air. Poking her head out she easily let herself fall and did a flip as she gracefully landed like a cat, with two feet upon the ground with almost nothing but a ‘tip tap’. Smiling brightly- her usual face wear, she turned her glistening, hazel gaze towards Rudy. Rudy of course, was quite taken a back… stuttering that she, of all people, was the intruder. This had caused her to laugh, or rather perhaps giggle… as she shook her head as if laughing at a little kid who did something quite innocent. She reached out gingerly and touched the torturing objects which Lantis had upon the table… her fingers brushing against them all so gingerly-as if they were living things. Shaking her head, with her ribbon-like strands of golden hair swaying about she snorted.

“ Lantis… always fond of his toys. I would have thought he would have grown out of that by now.”

She then turned to Rudy, and paused several feet from him. She seemed to survey Rudy slowly… as Rudy immediately questioned her- an action she came to expect from a Summers.
“ What are you doing here?”

She then came closer to him, so close that she brushed against him- he couldn’t flinch or move away, he was chained and pinned. The blood of Rudy streamed down his skin, as he gazed at her with bewildered eyes. She knew he didn’t know quite how to take her rather ‘touchy-feely’ actions, as she stood so close she could hear his breathing easily.
“ Isn’t it obvious? I’m here to get you out.”

With that, she took a finger and gingerly wiped it across his forehead, brushing blood from his cheek away from his eye. She smiled, as she wiped the blood away from her finger by placing it upon her own shorts- staining them, but Rudy also noticed a hint of blood was already upon to bottom of her shorts. But only a hint, such a fine hint that maybe only a vampire would have noticed. Vylianne ignored his wandering eyes however, and quickly she shifted her position to begin to work upon his chains which bound him in a vulnerable fashion. Taking a pin out of her hair, she immediately began to pry and small clicks and whirrs could be heard as she did so.
“ How… how did you get here though? Won’t Lantis be back? You’ll be caught… why… I just don’t understand why-“

Rudy asked many questions to Vylianne, and she smirked slightly although she didn’t know if Rudy could see her expression or not. She continued to work, the chains being some-what difficult since Lantis had a fancy at making all things difficult when it came to his stupid toys. She did respond however, her tone smooth and flowing… ‘matter-of-factly’ but not in a rude or snobbish way, just as confident as could be with a soft trace of soothing to them.
“ Lantis seems to be mysterious, as if he has no trail to follow. But he does, and I know how to follow it. He brought you to his ship, and I believe he planned upon leaving as soon as he was finished with Myra and perhaps your sister. He won’t be back, since I left quite a distraction of blood for him to follow… besides…”
Vylianne smiled, as suddenly a flickering of lights began to whir and a buzzing sound insued. Then the lights went out.
“ Even with his vampiric eyes, with the lights out his little, ‘followers’ will be a little more hectic. That door we are in is electric-connected anyway, so I guess you could say were locked in. I hope your vampiric senses aren’t too human so that you can’t see in the dark… “ Vylianne left it to that, and Rudy nodded.
“I can see pretty well… the moon’s rays come through that small window there.”

Indeed, there was a window, and moon shine was seen a bit through it.
“But why Vylianne, why do you help me? Why do you even bother to see me at all… I don’t even know who you are or how you know me.”

With that, a loud snap was heard and instantly the locks broke. Rudy collapsed in a heap to the floor, as the chains clattered all around him. Smiling, Vylianne leaned down and easily took the chains away from Rudy as he struggled to get up.
“Stay still.”
Vylianne commanded, and for some reason Rudy obeyed. Vylianne then bent down gingerly, getting eye level with Rudy and she slowly grabbed the little needles in Rudy’s hands, and plucked them out. Rudy winced at this, perhaps not too bent in not showing some pain to Vylianne like he did with Lantis. When she was finished, she got up as Rudy staggered to his feet.
“ Your strong enough to follow the path way out of here through the vents? It’s not too long, only a little ways.”

Rudy nodded. “I’ll do whatever to get out of this hell hole.”
“Good.” Vylianne said, as she swiftly walked to the table and instantly stretched out her arm and simply pushed all the stuff off the table upon the floor. She brushed her hands together, as she turned a curious eye towards Rudy. Rudy walked forward slowly, but then stopped.
“You never answered my question, why are you helping me?”

Vylianne smiled again, this smile was as if a mother was smiling to her little son who asked too big a question for him to comprehend. Taking one step upon the table, and gazing back at him with this ‘one-legged stretched’ position, she kept her strangely grinning smile.
“ A deadly vampire has lots of information, and uses it with sharp jabbs at his opponents to numb them with their superiority. Lantis did this to you this night. I hold more information that would be of great use to you- but if I were to reveal it all, it would only numb you too and make you weary which Lantis has done to your mind. You may say that it does not bother you, but at the ebbs of your mind it will always haunt you until you overcome Lantis himself. If I were to tell you all the information I knew now, or all the answers to your questions when I did not believe you were ready… it would only hurt you.”

She smiled again, innocently enough as she stepped onto the table and waved Rudy up.
“ Besides, I give information when I want and when I believe you are ready. This night is not over Rudy Summers, there is even more shockers in this drama to be revealed. You’ll need your mind to rest up so that it can prepare itself for the next action scene. Besides, right now you need to concentrate to get into this vent… I’ll help you. With your vampire traits low tonight, then you’ll need to concentrate upon your skin healing as well… now come, I’ll help you up here.”

With that, Vylianne beckoned him onward.

(I’lll let Rudy take it from heeere!)

[Master Rudy]

I could have sworn Vy never mentioned her name to Rudy in their first meeting and yet in Kalah's last post he mentioned it at least once.
*shrugs*
Oh well. It's not really that big of a deal I guess. I just tend to notice little things sometimes ^_~

Once again be aware at some cursing in this post.

Rudy Summers
Time Unknown
Lantis' Ship
------
Vylianne was a mysterious one indeed. She seemingly had no reason to be risking her life like this. Yet somehow she knew who I was and had infomation about my past. As for my questions she always seemed to dodge them with an answer that didn't always make sense. Who was she really? Could she be trusted or did she have her own plans? Whatever the case might have been I wasn't ready to worry myself about this. I had my chance to get out of here and I wasn't going to miss it.

Before joining Vylianne however I examined the things that were on the table before she had knocked them off. Among them was a pretty good looking dagger. While I would have prefered my katana or my own daggers this one would have to do. I was sure than unless Myra or someone had picked up my katana for me when I was disarmed that it would be gone for good. As for my own daggers they were nowhere to be found. Until I could find something better this one would have to do.

Now that I was armed again I was ready to go. Vylianne was already up in the vent waiting for me. I had something on my mind as I grabbed her hand so she could help me up and inot the vent. While she crawled up ahead I said to her "Tell me something Vylianne. When you mentioned my past back in the sewers you were talking about the fact that Lantis turned my mother weren't you?" She was silent and showed no signs of answering my question. While I guess I could have expected it from her it was something I wanted to know. "Why didn't you say anything about it?" I asked. With a sigh she said "Like I said before knowing then might have been something that forced you to seek him out over revenge. However doing so would have only got you killed." I had a feeling she was right about that. At that point I had wanted to see him die more than anything else but I already had other things on my mind. Perhaps Myra and Gyvien being with me was what kept me in check. After all I wouldn't have been much use to them dead.

However there were still many things I wanted to know and there was one question right at the top of my list. "Where exactly do you figure into all of this then?" I could barely see a damn thing in this tiny space at the moment. However my eyesight was still good enough to pick up her dark shape turning to look at me. Continuing I said "You know who Lantis is. You've hinted at knowing my father and you know things about me that even I didn't know until tonight. Just what the hell is going on here? In fact a better question would be who are you?" With a slight giggle she said "You know that already Rudy. My name is Vylianne." Shaking my head I told her "You know that is not what I mean. What is the history of the person behind that name like?" As she started to crawl along again she said "My past is not something I discuss with anyone. I'll decide who I will talk about it with and when." Her mysterious attitude was really starting to annoy me. What was it about her past that she didn't want to say? I figured that perhaps it would be best saved for later. I had a feeling that this time the two of us would be together for much longer than 10 minutes. Before this was all over I would get my answers.

Deciding that those question would just be a waste of time for now I moved onto something that would be more useful to me. "So where exactly is this ship?" was the next thing I asked Vylianne. This time she did not hesitate at all with the answer. "It's in the mountains south of Wood Water City. Getting back once we're out of here would take no more than an hour. To tell the truth I'm actually quite surprised it's this close to the city. Then again it's not that bad of a location. It's out of the way and well hidden." I knew she couldn't see me at the moment but I nodded. Her mention of an hour reminded me of something else. I had no clue how much time had passed since I was taken prisoner. "Speaking of time exactly what time is it?" Vylianne seemed to think for a moment as if she was also unsure. "Well when I got here it was around 9:30 at night. After leading those idiots on a bit of a wild goose chase I found you about 20 minutes after that. If I had to guess I'd say it's about 10 PM."

As we came toward another opening in the vent Vylianne stopped me. "What's going on?" I said. Whispering she asked me "You can't hear that?" Shaking my head she moved forward a bit so that I could get closer to the vent. Apparently my hearing was also being affected a bit. However rather than worry I paid attention to the voices I heard below. "Do any of you morons actually know what the f*** is going on here?!" There was no mistaking it. It was Lantis talking and I had never heard him this mad before. Peeking out I saw him and two other vampires standing there. The first one was a guy and said in a nervous voice "Well....uhhhh.....the power is out." Lantis was not amused and yelled "Do I look like some crippled human that can't see a f****** thing? OF COURSE THE POWER IS OUT!!! What about the intruder?" The other vampire who was a female said "We don't know much about that sir. No one has seen or heard anything. The only sign of a disturbance is a ton of blood. As for us no one has turned up missing. If you ask me this is someone's sick idea of a joke." It was obviously what Vylianne mentioned back in the cell about a distraction of blood. However I wasn't gonna question it. Chances were she'd just smile and keep that a secret as well.

Lantis now had a calm voice as he turned back to the man and said "Weren't you the one guarding the entrance?" I knew that tone too well by now. He was about to do something and I didn't like it one bit. He started to stutter as if he knew this was his fault when without warning Lantis had punched him in the chest with a level of force I had never seen before. Rather than knock the guy back however his hand actually went in his chest. Moments later it returned with the vampire's undead heart in his hand. The end result was a dead vampire and a big mess to clean up. The female vamp was obviously shocked over what happened. As Lantis tossed it aside in a disgusted fashion he looked at her and said "Let this be a lesson to you. He guarded the entrance to this ship. Quite a simple job isn't it? However he failed. When you work for me failure is not an option!" Not sure about what to do she said "But sir!" However Lantis stopped her. "No buts about it! Your task is to look after the entrance with your life. Either you die trying or you leave now because the next person that fails me won't have it as easy as him. If you see anyone trying to get in then kill them. I'm expecting that kid's sister or his new b**** Myra to come save him." With a look of shock on her face the vampire said "No way! I'm not turning on my only friend like that!" With another calm tone Lantis asked "You dare defy me?" However at that point she didn't argue and ran off in the direction of what I assumed to be the entrance to the ship. After a moment Lantis walked in another direction.

I looked at Vylianne as she spoke. "I've seen many grusome things during my years and I must say that had to be the most brutal thing I've witnessed." All I did was nod. I knew that if a vampire could think it was brutal that it had to be bad. Remembering what was just said I told her "Maybe we should keep an eye on that girl. If she's unwilling to fight Myra she might be willing to help us." Vylianne looked back at me and asked "Your willing to put your trust in someone you don't know?" Nodding I replied "It wouldn't be the first time. Besides she doesn't seem to like Lantis. I would not be surprised if she's doing this only to avoid being killed by him." Vylianne still looked unsure but finally said "Well if your going to do it then I guess I'll go with it. But if I feel like she's planning something at any point I will take her out myself." Nodding once more I asked "So it is any longer?" Vylianne shoke her head and told me "Not too long now Rudy. Soon we'll be out of here and on the way back to the city." I was glad to hear that. After that last display I didn't feel like being around here much longer. However the most important question was how long would my escape go unoticed? I had a feeling it would only be a matter of time now. Once that happened all hell would break loose on the ship and I didn't want to be around for that......

The female vampire in that post will be playing a minor NPC role in the near future. However as we've seen being an NPC in this RPG tends to be a bad thing. They usually die some grusome deaths
*points to all the people Roland killed, Oyar and the hunters Lantis killed*

----Father Farwell----
The Bloody Streets of Wood Water

Something was terribly wrong.
Everywhere we walked were the sounds, sights and smells of death. Death permeated the very air and I felt as though I would choke from it. At first I tried to give the bodies some semblance of a decent Christian burial but I soon found that to be impossible.
There were just too many......
So many bodies, so much blood was spilt. Shaking my head at the thought I crossed myself and rose from kneeling beside the body of a young woman. “We have to stop this Liven.” She wiped a tear out of her eye. “I know...this is horrible...this is what my Father tried to stop, what he thought he DID stop...why, Father? Why is it happening again?!” She burst into tears and leaned forward to cry into my shoulder. I brought up a hand to comfort her, and then it happened.
Blood--------rushing through veins--------heart beating--------human Human HUMAN FEED FEED FEED!!!!!!
My eyes grew wide as if Id been punched in the stomach and I looked at Livens neck with the hungry eyes of a madman. Unwary she cried still into my shoulder and clutched my shirt, shaking her head. “Farwell....tell me everythings going to be all right...God is with us, isnt He?”
My fangs grew in my mouth and I was shaking with barely restrained madness. Everything was NOT all right. For the first time in my life I felt utterly alone, as if God Himself had deserted me, me, an undead creature. A demon of the night, a man of God that had become too lost to be saved. I leaned closer, my fangs inches from her warm neck. I prepared to bite----
“Uh...” I flung my head away from her. So it was true. I had become a demon, the Devil himself. To think about hurting someone, I failed in my holy duties. Only one thing could return Salvation to my tainted soul.
“Liven.....” I croaked out, though it was hard to speak. She looked up with a tear stained face and for the first time noticed my distress. “...Father...?”
I squeezed my eyes shut. I did not want this child to see the despair in my eyes, to see the truth that I now felt. “Liven, kill me.”
She jumped at the bluntness of my words. “F---Father!!! I...I cant do that!!!”
The feeling of madness rose up again. For once in my life I started to yell. “You HAVE to Liven!! Im a creature of the undead!”
She shook her head violently. “No!! I wont I cant I...”
I pulled her away from me and turned my head so I couldnt see her. “DO it Liven! Be the Messenger of God and send me where I belong! I almost bit you Liven, even as I comforted you! Even as I tried to provide guidance a monstrous part of the creature I now am wanted you dead! Do your fathers work, and end the unholy life of the monstor before you!! You HAVE to Liven! You HAVE TO!!”
I hurt me to see the horrible look of pain on her face. To tell her to kill anyone, especially myself, was very unlike me. But I didnt feel myself at all. Shaking my head I said quieter, “Liven, the Father Farwell that saved you from those street punks years ago is dead. Roland killed him, and as he lay dying the man, the CREATURE you see before you was born. I cannot be your Father Farwell again, I have become something...evil...” I closed my eyes and touched the cross, my fingers burning in response. “May God give you the strength to do what you must...”
She raised her sword, tears streaming down her face. “Forgive me...Father....for I....”
She brought her sword down.
“...have sinned...!!”
***********


I waited.
I felt the wind from the blade as it slashed down.
And then.....
“Oh come now ‘Father’ nows not the time to be feeling sorry for yourself, theres a ‘madman’ on the loose remember?”
The voice laughed and I opened my eyes to see a purple haired vampire holding Livens blade inches away from my face. It was that Vampire Amethyst. She continued, ignoring my shocked wondering face. “My little servant has become ungrateful, and is it not your duty as a Priest to see unholy creatures who murder stopped?” She smiled an amused little smile.
“Get up Priest. Your purpose on Earth is not yet fulfilled.”

Take it away, Shaka, Frank!
Myra post coming soon ^-^
EDIT: Forgot to say, I know Roland killed Amethyst, but its harder than cutting off their head to make a vampire stay dead, especially a blood drinker on this night ^-~

Vylianne - F - Vampire


****


Raising an eyebrow to Rudy, I nodded as we kept going through the vents. Finally I saw a small particle or beam of light shine through, and smiling to myself I went forward and gently pushed the cover off. It fell, but I snatched it and lightly gave it to Rudy, who put it behind him.
"It's a bit of a jump... but just watch me and you'll be fine."
Rudy gazed over my shoulder, to see we were actually very high up upon the ship, and jumping down to the ground would be a bit painful even for a vampire. But there was a tree branch near us below, which could serve to help a landing. Grinning I gazed to Rudy.
"Watch closely."
I brought my legs up and then simply lept off with out even a slight hesitation. I fell easily, as my long golden hair rippled in the wind but instantly my hands caught the bark of the tree, and my body swung upwards until I flipped back up into the air, and then landed back ontop of the tree branch. The whole movement was done in one sweeping motion, and I looked up to Rudy. I smiled as I then jumped to another branch, and then finally to the ground like an agile and graceful cat. Gazing back up to him, I beckoned him onward. Rudy let out a sigh... and muttered some thing which sounded slightly to,
"here we go.."
He jumped, and he managed to get his hands upon the branch. Unfortunately, he swung himself but not all the way around, and only managed to fling himself several feet away from the branch. Needless to say, there was nothing for him to grab onto and he merely flailed in air, landed upon his feet but staggered a bit painfully. After a few seconds of silence, and wincing by Rudy, I laughed.
" Not the prettiest thing to see, but whatever works."

Rudy nodded lightly, as I began to walk foreward... the air was dark, crisp and cool but the smell of blood and taint upon the air was thicker than fog. I narrowed my eyes, hearing some noises but one of them being primarily feet. I glanced to Rudy, who was gazing about and quickly whispered.
"That girl... she's coming to this area. She must have heard you."
Rudy glanced at me and shrugged.
"Good, we can talk to her."
I rolled my eyes, as I quickly sat down, crossed my legs and waited in a rather unusual manner. Rudy gazed at me, as if taken by surprise until suddenly the girl burst through. She held a dagger in her hand, and her wild, black eyes gazed at us with surprise and shock. I merely gave her a half-hearted, unimpressed look as Rudy held his hands up and I crossed my arms.
" Please... before you do anything rash, let me explain."
"Who ARE you!?" She growled, and with that I quickly spoke. My voice was stronger than usual, and rather harsh or commandful.
" He's the prisoner your dear Boss was hiding, and I am the intruder. We are leaving and you will not stop us. Rudy here, wants to talk to you about some matter of you and Lantis, but then we are leaving. So I suggest you do not wave that dagger in my face or in his for that matter, unless you want me to take it from your hand and shove it in your face."
The girl seemed to be taken aback, as her eyes widened and she gripped the dagger harder.
" L-Lantis told me that I... I had to find you and bring y ou both back! I... I have to listen to him or else!"
Rudy seemed sympathetic, as he tried to talk to her but sh equickly waved a dagger in his face and made a slashing motion. Rudy barely missed the blow, as she was about to do another thrust.

Suddenly though, her hand stopped and in a blur of an eye even Rudy didn't know what happened until the scene froze. I had abruptly come from behind her, grabbed her wrist with teh dagger tightly and firmly, and I simply stood there. The girl immediatly brought her other hand back with her elbow to make amotion to get me in my abdomin, but quick as lightening I grabbed her elbow as well and held her in place. She tried to struggle free, but in humor it looked as if she were struggled to free herself from solid rock. I didn't budge and it made me even more unimpressed.
"Now LISTEN to the nice Vampire so we can explain, or I'll break your wrist."
"Vyli-" Rudy began, but I narrowed my eyes. The girl tried to aim a kick at me, but I suddenly squeezed my hand seizing her wrist hard so that a cracking sound was heard. She gave a muffled cry as she dropped the dagger.
"Vylianne we don't need to-"
I paid no attention to Rudy. Instead I glared at the girl as I whispered in her ear.
"Are you going to listen, or do I need to squeeze your wrist so that it is beyond repair and broken?"
She shook her head and her body relaxed, as I nodded silently and released my hold upon her. I took several steps back slowly, picked up her dagger and then set it against her shoulder.
"Take it."
She brought her other hand up and slowly grabbed the handle, and then I walked in front of her by Rudy. Smirking I crossed my arms.
"As you were saying Rudy..."

*takes deep breath* here goes!

Liven Dinas

I looked down at the sword Father Farwell had given me,then at the purple haired vampire called Amethyst. She was grinning her vampire grin as she heald the sword inches from the father's neck. I took a step back and dropped to my knees, tears still streaming down my face i threw the sword to my side. Amethyst walked over and bent down on one knee and still smiling said,"Ha some Vampire hunter.....breaking down like you are! Pathetic!" She laughed. The sound of the insane vampire laughing sent a wave of anger through me, i was about to get up when she suddenly stopped and became quiet. Looking up i saw that she was standing now and looking off into the dark street.
Me and Farwell both looked at the Vampire not knowing what she was doing. When suddenly she spoke, "Well Priest do you think your up to it? Hunting down my little ungrateful pet, and putting an end to his fun?" She asked turning towards him. Farwell was looking down at his cross that was still around his neck. Grabbing his cross tightly, and ignoring his burning hand, Farwell looked up at Amethyst and nodded slowly. "Yes...i can do it...." He answered. I Looked at Farwell and stood up," Father....What about..Skyler?" I whispered. Farwell looked over and managed a smile," Dont worry my child! We'll find Skyler....just have faith." With that said Amethyst walked in between me and Farwell. "Enough chit chat...lets get this hunt started." So we all started into the deep hellish streets of Wood Water.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roland
The streets of Wood water were stained with human blood. I have been hunting my prey for some time now and am getting closer. I walked down dark alley ways and through abandoned homes. Passing bodies here and there i stopped only if someone was in my way...or just to have a bit of fun with the stupid newly made childern of the night. I was so close to my prey that i could smell him now. "Yes...Skyler im coming! Its time i put an end to your meaningless life!" I called out.
As i walked down the blood thirsty streets i noticed a boy leaning against a burned out street lamp. "heh...Well Well! Is that my Brother?! Why were you runnign from me? I thought we were family?" I asked grinning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Man how pathetic this post is! crap..writers block eh..well Frank maybe if you write skylers ill get some ideas. its all yours. maybe have farwell,liven meet up with you or something ^_^

~~~~Myra Link~~~~
The Bloody Streets of Wood Water
:::10:06PM:::

Blood.
Pain.
Rage.
Sorrow.
Hatred.

For the longest time as Gyvien, my brother Yuar, and I searched the streets for any signs of Lantis, these things flooded my senses and made it impossible to think clearly. I was still in great physical pain from my injuries, and Lantis's taunts and violence had only served to injure my mind further. And he took Rudy.....
Hes probably killed him by now.....Rudys probably dead....
Through all the stress I was feeling I stopped short and shook my head. No. Hes not dead. And for once my reasonable side was agreeing with me. If Lantis wanted him dead he wouldnt take the time to kidnap him. Nothing was stopping him from killing Rudy when he charged, he just simply chose to knock him out. But why? Why would he want to kidnap Rudy? What was he thinking? I shuddered. If Lantis was resorting to kidnapping instead of flat out murder then he was planning something a WHOLE lot worse than death.
Im almost afraid to find out what....
Yuar stopped walking. Still numb with pain I almost bumped into him, my fingers slipping a bit from Rudys katana. Gripping it tighter, I studied Yuar. "Why did you stop?"
Yuar stood, still facing away from me. One hand of his was clenched tightly, the only sign belying his usually calm exterior. A feeling of panic and dread rose within me. Yuar had tasted blood. He was able to sense a lot more than I could. Could he be sensing.....
The sense of panic growing, I stepped in front of Yuar and looked him right in the eyes. "What is it?! Is .....is Rudy......" I felt tears welling up but I stubbornly willed them away. Even if it was something horrible I had to know, because not knowing was 10 times worse. Yuar squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head gently before reguarding me with a sympathetic gaze. "Myra, Im sorry..."
My eyes widened but he continued. "I was tracking Lantis's aura....I thought for sure that he would be right here. But it seems he has run us in a circle..." Looking around I saw what he meant. We were back at the building Lantis had disappeared into! Yuar shook his head again and went on. "His powers are incredible...now...." He sighed and turned away from me. "Now I have no idea where he is.."
I felt like my heart froze. Lantis, the killer of my family, had taken the man I loved and now neither of them were to be found. It was too much.
Until last night I couldnt imagine caring about anyone but myself. I had always thought that the only person I could rely on was me, to just take care of me and let everyone else worry about their own problems because I had enough of my own, but I couldnt be like that anymore. For once in my life, someone elses life mattered more than my own to me, and I wasnt going to let Lantis kill another person I care about.
Rage once again rising up within me, I turned to confront my brother. "Oh well then I suppose we all just give up then?! Since YUAR has NO F***ING IDEA where Lantis went I guess we should all just GO HOME!" Yuar looked shocked at my sudden outburst and started to say something, but I was done listening to people. "But thats right, I dont HAVE a HOME!! And I dont have a family either! And now the DAMN BASTARD that took it ALL away from me has RUDY TOO! Well IM NOT GOING to let him destroy EVERYTHING I hold dear!!" My voice was cracking as I practically screamed at the startled Yuar and Gyvien. "So you can DO what you WANT!! Im going to go find Rudy!! Im not going to let him be just another of Lantis's VICTIMS!!!"
Clutching Rudys katana in both hands, I ran off into the night, ignoring the pain in my shoulder and the tears streaming down my face. My insides were in a turmoil, the pain, sorrow, and anger that had numbed me before were raging inside of me. The cool night air blew my shorter hair in random directions as I ran down the bloody streets, but I didnt care about that either. All I cared about was finding Lantis and making sure he died for what he did to my family and Rudys.
I looked down at the sword I had in my hands. Rudys sword. He had dropped it when Lantis took him, but it would find its way home.
If it was the last thing I did....

Ok now no one go looking for Myra, this is something she has to do on her own ^-~

First off as with all my other posts as of late you might want to expect a little bit of nasty language. Second parts of this post will be in Al Bhed (for those of you who forgot we're using it at the vampires language in this RPG). For translation of those lines head on over to:

For just a moment I glared at Vylianne. I wasn't angry but I did think her way of doing things was perhaps a bit uncalled for. I was about to say something about that when we were interupted by the vampire speaking in our native language. "E lyh'd pameaja dryd tysh pedlr. Fru fuimt ryja druikrd uha uv draca pylgfydan vampires vnus Earth luimt pa cu vilgehk pnidym!?" From the way it was said I had a feeling she thought all of the vampires on Earth only spoke English. Her words didn't bother me much but I had a feeling Vylianne would take great offense to that since it was directed at her. With an annoyed look she told the vampiress "Perhaps you should do a little more reseach next time." She just looked at Vy and asked with an innocent tone "Just what do you mean by that?" With a smirk Vylianne said to her "E syo pa pnidym yht E syo pa y pedlr pid fa ynah'd dra nathalgc oui yht ouin vneahtc vnus dra City of the Night sicd drehg fa yna." The woman seemed very surprised and shocked as she gasped "Oui cbayg uin myhkiyka?!" The only thing Vylianne did was nod. However with no warning at all the two of them started to argue back and forth in our language. Not wanting to see this get out of hand when their were more important matters at hand I said "Excuse me ladies." At the moment however they seemed to just ignore me. Several more tries in English also failed. It was then that I figured the best way to get their attention was to attack what was the weakness of most women.

I gave them one more chance to stop but it was no use. I knew that if this didn't get their attention that I'd just walk away and leave them there. No sense in sticking around to watch this. With a deep breath I suddenly shouted "RAO! Umt fusah!" Both Vy and the other vampire suddenly stopped and looked right at me. Vylianne remained quiet while the other started to yell at me. "OLD?! Where the hell do you get old from?! I'm only 19 years old!" With a chuckle I said "That still makes me the youngest one here. In any case I'm sorry about that. It seemed like the only way to get your attention." Both nodded and seemed to understand. However the female vampire suddenly remembered why she was fighting with us and said "Well your friend said you wanted to tell me something. I assume it's going to be beg for your lives?" With a smirk I said to her "I'm not going to do that. Hell you can go ahead and kill us if you want." Vylianne looked about ready to strangle me but she held back. Despite her anger she looked as if she wasn't surprised by that comment. Continuing I said "Of course if you do that I think you'd only be risking your friendship with Myra." She appeared shocked but in a calm tone asked "And just how do you know her?"

Before I could answer however her eyes grew wide as she saw Myra's bracelet on my wrist. With lightning quick speed she rushed me and I soon I found myself on my back with her dagger in my face. "Oui beala uv cred! What the hell did you do to my friend?! I'm guessing you figured you could kidnap her and save your own hide if Lantis were to capture you." This girl had a firey temper and was quick to jump to conclusions. Shaking my head I told her "Don't be so quick to judge someone. The two of us saw what happened to your other friend in the vent above your heads. You may be putting on the tough girl act but think about what you said. If I did kidnap Myra then how would it help me? Lantis seems to think all of you are expendable. What's one less lacky for whatever his little scheme may be?" At that moment as sudden as she had attacked she dropped the dagger and let me up. For a moment she was quiet before speaking. "Most of them are too blind to see him for what he really is. They either share his views or don't seem to care. All they care about is killing off the humans." Looking at me she said "Don't think I'm going to help you because I actually like the humans. It's just that I've seen what he is capable of. The only reason why some of us follow him is because we fear for our lives. Sadly my friend Myra is one that looks up to him." With a smile I told her "Well you don't have to worry about that anymore. She's learned about what he truely is and wants nothing to do with him." Whoever this girl was she seemed very smart. She once again looked at the bracelet and despite not saying a word she appeared as if she had pieced things together and figured out why I must have had it.

With a sigh she pointed towards two roads leading away from the ship. One was headed down into a canyon while the other lead to an extremely rocky road. Both paths looked as if they would have many good hiding places if we had to lay low for a bit or get away from the sun. However she suggested the best path to us. "If your trying to get back to that human city take the upper path. It's a bit longer but everyone that comes and goes around here takes the lower path. Lantis may think we're expendable but he isn't stupid. He'll only send a few of his men after you so that he can keep a large number here at the ship. If your from that city and know the area well then he'll expect you to try to take the quickest path and send them that way." Not wanting to waste another minute I nodded and thanked her for the help. However as we were walking away the woman quickly followed after us and got us to stop for a moment. "Could you do me one favor. Myra has no family left. However I've always thought of her as my younger sister. Please make sure she's ok and take care of her." I was pretty good at reading the tone of a person's voice and there was something about this woman's voice that didn't seem right. Suddenly it dawned on me. "Your not expecting to live after this are you?" I asked her. She remained silent and had a look that showed no emotion but her words were enough to give it away. With a smile I just simply said "Then come with us. What's the point of staying here if it'll only get you killed?" However she looked as if she had no hope and told me "I'm sure Myra has told you that his powers are unimagineable. All of us may be able to fly and heal our bodies but eventually most vampires start to develop their own powers. The powers Lantis has are things you only see in some of the oldest vampires. One of them allows him to track each person who works for him easily. If I go with you it'll only allow him to find the two of you much quicker. It does not matter if I stay or go. I'll die for not doing what he said. However I don't want to be responsible for killing the two of you also."

I could see what kind of a tough spot she was in. As we stood there she suddenly brushed her hair back and revealed a pair of gold earrings with rubies in them. The vampiress took them off and handed them to me. "Give those to Myra when you see her. You won't have to explain a thing to her. Once she sees them she'll know." As much as I wanted to protest and tell her she would be ok deep down I had a feeling she was right about what Lantis would do. The image of him ripping the heart out of someone who failed him was still very fresh in my mind. She was risking her life to help me. Placing her earrings in my pocket I reluctantly started to walk away with Vylianne following close behind. Looking over my shoulder I said to the woman "Don't you worry. As soon as I find Myra we will come back for you!" However with a sad look she told me "Don't even bother. It'll be too late by that time." I looked at Vylianne hoping she'd take my side and help me out here but instead she whispered so that the other vampire wouldn't hear "I don't want to get your hopes down Rudy but I can only be honest with you. I think you've just heard the last words of someone who is going to die. The least you can do is try to honor her wish and protect Myra."

Sadly she would be right......

This is all leading up to a big moment that will involve Myra, Rudy and maybe Vylianne depending on if she sticks around. It would be best if we got no interfearence with the three of them for the time being ^_~

~~~~Myra Link~~~~
The Outskirts of Wood Water City
:::10:15PM:::

Im......Im coming Rudy.....
I ran like that for a while, not really knowing where exactly I was going to, knowing only that somewhere on this Earth was Lantis and Rudy and that above all things I had to find them. I had no other direction, no other thoughts until I had run so far in my weakened state that I had to stop and catch my breath. As I stared at the dirt panting, watching the blood drip slowly from the wound in my shoulder, it came to me. The only place I knew where there was even the slightest chance Lantis might be.
The ship!
I stopped breathing for a moment, my eyes widened as the realization hit me. Of course! Why wouldnt he be at the ship! Its the most protected place under Lantis's control, and I was the only one who knew about it, so he figured it would be safe no matter what! Finding new energy with my new hope I stood up straight and started heading in the direction where the ship was located. Feeling I was finally close to destroying that monstor once and for all lifted my heart for the first time that night since reuniting with Rudy those short minutes. Im coming....
I was so determined to find him that it never occured to me I might be walking into a trap.....

***********

There it was. Big, metal, and looming large in my field of vision. The ship where I had called home for the past couple of days. A place where I was no longer welcome and which I no longer welcomed. I couldnt sense anything, but I just had a feeling thats where Lantis had taken Rudy.
Striding forward, holding the katana tightly in my left hand I came around the side of the building to peer at the entrance. Though I was extremely stressed out I was still aware and smart enough to not want to be caught, so I pressed my back up against the side and observed my target for a few minutes. I didnt seem particuarly well guarded, but as all things involving Lantis were, appearances can be decieving....
Sure enough, it wasnt long before somebody showed up to guard the entrance. But I wasnt expecting WHO I saw..
Aneles. My best friend. The only friend I had in the City of the Night that I could really talk to, one of the few that were around my age. Most of the Vampires there were much older, and had been born on Earth. The ones who werent were usually taught to shun changed humans and my mother being one kept me from really making any kinds of friendships. She was always there for me, like a big sister. I knew out of anyone on this ship that she would still help me.
I stepped out from behind the ship and started towards her. Hearing my footsteps, she darted a glance at me, and instantly a panicked look crossed her features. “Myra! What are you doing here!!”
I frowned and came up to her, grabbing her hand in both of mine. “Aneles, please. I need your help.” I said, desperation in my voice and eyes. “Lantis...he....lets just say I know more about the world now, and Im here to keep Lantis from killing the man that I....” A look of horror grew on her face. Almost panicking she grabbed my shoulder and started to push me away from the ship. “You have to get out of here, NOW! Please Myra, trust m---”
Squeezing my eyes shut I jerked her hand away. “I CANT Ane! He has Rudy!!” Her eyes widened and tears welled up in them. “You dont understand!!! Rudys------aouh..” Suddenly her eyes went wide and she stopped talking. A trickle of blood ran from her mouth as she stood there, looking at me with desperate eyes, and then she started to fall over. “Aneles!!” I cried, trying to keep her upright. And then I saw what happened.
A gloved hand was protruding from her stomach from where it had come through her back. Slowly the hand grew into a shadowy arm and figure which quickly revealed itself.
Lantis.
He withdrew his hand as he stood up straight, smiling that chilling smile. “Oh, poor Aneles....” He knelt down and cradled her slightly in his arms, turning her face to look into her now lifeless eyes. “I had such high hopes for her....” He shut his eyes, feigning grief, then sighed and dropped her body carelessly to the floor. “Oh well..Im over it.” He turned to me, a sickening twinkle in his eyes and winked. “I have other matters to attend to presently..”
I was in shock. It had happened so quickly, he.....he just killed her like she was nothing! Like she didnt mean anything, as if it were as easy as breathing. I sank to my knees in front of her body, tears escaping from my wide eyed gaze as my mind struggled to comprehend. This....this cant have happened....this cant be happening!

”Your so pretty, Aneles. I wanna be as pretty as you one day.”
I look at Aneles with my 6 year old gaze as she fixes my dress and smiles. “You will be. In fact one day a guy will tell you the same thing.”
I smile, then as I think of what Im dressing up to go to I frown. “But Ane I dont know....Mother and Father will be choosing. I dont think Ill like being betrothed.”
Always the wise one, even at 7 years old, Aneles smiles and pats me on the shoulder. “Dont worry....here. Youll feel pretty with these on.” She turns around and displays her special ruby and gold earrings. The ones she got from her Mother! These were from Earth! “Aneles! Really? Wow!” She puts them on me, and I swing my head to watch them glitter. “Thanks, Ane!”
She frowns and puts her hands on her hips. “Well Im not GIVING them to you....” She flicks one of the earrings and watches it swing. “Just borrow...” She says with a smile.......

She couldnt be dead....My mind just refused to believe it.
Ignoring my obvious distress, Lantis continued. “So. You have come back to me Myra, splendid! I was wondering when youd come around and realise that it is better to be on the winning e-----”
“Why...”
Lantis seemed genuinely confused over my sudden question. “Why? Why what Myra? Why did I kill her? Well my dear child, I HAD to! You see, after you left I was just so upset, and I had to express it somehow...” He smiled and walked in front of me, nudging Aneles’s body out of the way with his foot in the process. Clutching my arms to my chest I shot a glare at him with my tear-stained face. “WHY?! Why do you have to DO THIS!! First you take Rudy and now you kill my ONLY FRIEND!! WHY!!!” I screamed at him in a voice filled with pain. My mind was clouded with pain and sorrow, and I couldnt think straight at all. At the time I didnt even realise that yelling at him wouldnt make him feel the least bit guilty. “Dear Myra.....” he said, placing a hand on my shaking shoulder, though I couldnt even feel it. “This is all about that Summers boy, isnt it? Child, you may THINK you love him...but you dont seem to understand that creatures of the underworld are not meant for love. All it will do is cause you pain.....”
I shook my head violently. “NO! Your WRONG!! NOW WHERE IS RUDY!?” I yelled, yanking my shoulder away from him. Lantis sighed and got a sorrowful look on his face. “I wanted to keep this from you, because I knew it would hurt, but.....My dear Myra, what your ‘friend’ was trying to say was that she had gotten so upset thinking he had done something to you that she killed him. Hes dead.”
I felt something inside me shatter. Too many things, too much pain, all of it, ALL of it had been wearing away at my sanity. And hearing that, not even thinking that it might not be true, was the last straw. I lost it.
The next thing I knew I was screaming at the top of my lungs, swinging the katana at the area where Lantis had been moments before. I was so furious I couldnt see, all I saw was Rudys unconsious body on that street and Aneles’s bloody face still wearing a look of shocked disbelief. The darkness I had always sensed within my soul completely swallowed me up, and Myra Link as I knew her for a few moments ceased to exist.

And that was when it all went to hell.

Within the space of those few moments, Lantis caught me from behind and placed a hand on me, instantly calming me down. Though as I soon found it wasnt by my choice. In fact nothing was by my choice anymore. My hands hefted the katana through no direction of my own. A laugh welled up within me, my voice sounding strange and alien to my own ears. Suddenly as Lantis spoke it became all too clear what had happened. “Ah, Myra...I hoped you would listen on your own....but as that is not the case, youll still be useful as my puppet.” He grinned sickeningly and I felt my face taking on the same expression, though I could do nothing about it. The katana in my hand came up and cut a gash into my arm. Inwardly I winced, though since I was no longer in control of myself my face didnt change expression. I began to laugh again. Lantis’s voice went on. I wasnt sure whether he was speaking directly into my mind or out loud, but it was sharp and clear. “Yes this is wonderful...If I couldve controlled the royal family this well, maybe they wouldnt have had to die....”
My voice seemed to agree. “Heh.....Mommy and Daddy.....”
Shock once again filled me. What was he saying? I didnt have time to think about it though because I had a bigger problem to worry about.
Lantis studied me like someone observing a faulty piece of equipment. “Though in your current state you are not much use to me. Now, how can I make you more useful, hm hm hm.....Oh!” Lantis snapped his fingers, pretending to have an idea, and suddenly a vampire came into view holding a zoned out human in his grip. The human looked hypnotised and didnt seem to be aware of whats going on. But I was all too aware.
Losing control of myself to Lantis had not dimmed the hunger at all. Seeing her close up for the first time I realised that this was the female Vampire Hunter that Rudy and I had seen when we were searching for Gyvien, and also the one who managed to escape from Lantis when he transformed. As if reading my thoughts (which maybe he could do!) he sneered. “No one escapes from me...if I want something I get it. Now, Myra,” His sneer got bigger and more twisted with whatever sick pleasure he got from other peoples pain. “You are going to become a true Aristocrat.” He took the girl in his arms and placed his hands on her neck.
No.
With a quick motion my katana came up and slashed the girl across the neck, slitting it cleanly. The ring Rudy had given me slipped off, and clanged to the ground.
NO.
“Drink my child..”
NO!
“Yes.....master...”
NO!!!!
My fangs came down, and bit into the soft, already bleeding neck. The warm liquid flowed into my mouth, sending joy through every fiber of my body. I was unaware of what was going on until the limp body of the human was empty and my hunger was wanting more. Warm blood was still on my lips and down my neck but I was unable to wipe it away.
No.......
But once again my voice didnt agree with me.
“Yes......”

Oh my GOSH!!

Oh... that was a goody goody post!! EEEEE!! BLOOOOOD!!! *jumps about *



Vylianne

****

We began to walk down the path, but Vylianne's gaze ever so lingered around her and never directly focused upon one point. AS silence insued, and Rudy heavily walked towards the City... Vylianne seemed wary- as if hesitating. Stopping finally, she stood there, concentrating slowly... as she closed her eyes briefly and then stopped.
"We're almost there an-" Rudy began to speak, until suddenly he turned around to look at Vylianne to see she was not there. A bit of panic arose inside Rudy's mind, but as he turned back farther he saw Vylianne standing, her vision cloudy... and it looked as if she was in a trance. Stopping himself, confusion and curiosity arose with in him as he quickly walked back to Vylianne. Her strange, piercing eyes were seemingly clouded over as her breaths were short... and she stood stiff. Rudy wondered what was happening... but as he spoke to her, she nodded.
"We should get going! We can't stop and wait Vy-"
Suddenly her hand came forth and she touched Rudy's lips with her finger, which instantly silenced him and caused him to take a step back, away from her gentle yet stern touch. She suddenly blinked after, and her eyes quickly went back to their fierce stature as she gazed at him sharply, her eye sight more keen at this time.
" No. "
"What?" Rudy was confused, as a bit of eagerness welled up with in him.
"We must go now! I can't wait for you if we are going to-"
"Rudy, calm down."
Vylianne voice was stern, and rather like an adult shunning a child. rudy stopped, as he waited for an explanation but Vylianne's expression gave nothing to a hint.
" Rudy, do you remember what that female Vampire back there said?"
" About what?"
"About Lantis having special powers... about ancient vampires getting different powers?"
"Well... yes... "
"Remember those words. They will be of use to you in the future. But enough of that insight, I must leave you briefly now."
"Why..." Rudy's face was flushed with confusion, as Vylianne turned her eyesight to him and stared straight towards him. Her face was full of pity and concern, but she swallowed slightly as if running the information she had with in her mind and carefully sorting it out.

"There is some thing you MUST do on your own. You must make a decision, a very important and extremely difficult one at that. But this decision you must make with one other person... and only one other. That other is not me, although many moons ago I had wished it would be me wi- but that is besides the point, I must leave you."
Rudy again was thoroughly flustered.
"But... why... what are you talking about? What aren't you telling me? Can't you just put it bluntly and in words I can truely understand for once?"
Vylianne shook her head, but this time no smirk or smile came to her face.
"No. Is that blunt enough for you? But I will leave... but I do not trust you or your other friends to be left alone upon this night for a long while. I will return to you shortly, to give you further aid from the goodness of my own soul..." with that she gave a soft smile, but it soon faded almost instantly as she spoke gravely like an ever shifting moody sea.
" Now, I will leave. But Rudy... when I do leave, think hard to yourself. Is this path to the City really what you want? Listen to your undead soul Rudy... what does it tell you? Perhaps you should go back to the way you came... because that is where an answer lies. You just have to discover the problem. Go now Rudy! Go!"

With that, Vylianne quickly took a step back, and pointed behind Rudy, back up towards the path where they had come from the ship. Rudy turned his head to gaze up there, and when he looked back and instant later Vylianne had vanished, with out sound nor trace. Nothing but a swift cool breeze was in the air... as a haunting voice gently swayed over Rudy's ears.
" Perhaps you should go back..."



Yuar Oro
***

Yuar watched silently, almost frozen with confusion as he watched Myra go. The words he spoke had stabbed her far worse than any other...
But thats right, I dont HAVE a HOME!! And I dont have a family either! And now the DAMN BASTARD that took it ALL away from me has RUDY TOO! Well IM NOT GOING to let him destroy EVERYTHING I hold dear!!

Yuar winced, as he tightened his fist and still stood there in the darkness... she ran off, to find Lantis and to find Rudy. By herself... where she could get killed or even worse...
Yuar knew Lantis had his own tricks, and Yuar also knew that Lantis was after Myra. He was after to get the entire Link family out of existance. Myra was the only Link left... at least, that was what Lantis believed, since Yuar was supposed to be dead. Supposed to be.
Yuar had no idea what to do... his sister, the very sister whom he had watched over since birth had deserted him- Yuar was not family to Myra. He shook softly... as his face tightened with a melonchaly face- the first expression he truely showed- an expression of hurt and grief. She... she didn't care about him, nor thought of him of anything more than an aquaintance.
Swallowing hard, Yuar sighed...and fell to his knees as he knelt there in the silence of the night. In the midst of his thoughts, he barely heard the pitter patter of footsteps as Gyvien came up along side him. Her human side was in control now... and she placed her own bloodied hand upon his shoulder. He offsettly wondered how she got the cut upon her forehand... but he didn't linger upon it long.
"Yuar... I.. I'm sorry." She understood faintly of why Yuar was hurt, but she didn't address the matter fully.
Yuar swiftly got up however, his face back to his stern expression as he whirled around and his startling emerald gaze went back to it's eerie, piercing stare. He gazed down at Gyvien, as he placed his hands in his pockets and closed his eyes briefly and then reopened them, shaking his head. He couldn't be weak- he couldn't show his emotions or he would become weak. He couldnt' be weak now... he had to protect Gyvien and the others. Even if Myra didn't believe him to be her brother... or even friend for that matter, he had to go after her and stay strong for Gyvien. If he broke down now... Gyvien would see the weakness, and then maybe she'd run away from him too. Yuar could not show a weakness anymore. He had shown one already, and Myra had left him. If he showed another... maybe Gyvien would leave too. Myra didn't even give him a chance to explain that they would have to keep looking... Yuar wasn't going to give up, he was simply going to gather his wits again. But Myra didn't give him the chance...
"Let's go Gyvien. As much as you may not like Myra, we must go after her. If she finds Lantis she'll be killed or worse... and we have to help your brother as well. Myra may not realize it, but I care for her... and maybe you don't realize it, but you do care for your brother. We must go... I may not be able to follow Lantis's trail anymore, but I can easily follow hers."
Gyvien nodded, not arguing as both of them instantly chased after Myra's direction.
But it seemed all too soon they would be interupted...

***
" Gyvien?!" A voice suddenly called out, which caused Yuar to freeze in an instant and Gyvien to sharply gaze back. They had been following Myra's trail for some time... but a voice stopped them. Turning back, a shadowy figure came out from the alleyway and Yuar instantly unsheathed his dagger, but Gyvien seemed hardly affected. She boldly walked towards the figure... but gazed back to Yuar.
"This is dampiel business, strickly dampiel business only- so do not interfere."
Gyvien then walked forth, where the shadowy figure then showed himself in the moon's gentle rays. He had dark, piercing dark brown hair which was spiked upwards a bit, and his soft, flushed face had a stern but yet gentle smile. His dark, slate-blue eyes reguarded her with respect and he nodded slowly... briefly.
"Ah, Feor, it's pleasant to find you upon this night." Gyvien said, smiling.
" You to Gyvien... last I had heard from the underground that you were held captive and almost killed, but here you are- yet again, like always... still alive and well." Gyvien nodded, as Feor then peered back behind her.
"Whose that? I sense a vampiric persense... your not.."
" A relative- since we are dampiels, we have some relatives. But do not worry, he's strickly not feeding upon dampiels or even humans for that matter. He's not a killer... do not worry. But I am upon an urgent buisness as of late, do you need some thing?"
Feor nodded..
" Just needed to alarm you. There are some rumors about that some one is after our organization's secrets... some dampiels have been almost caught and slaughtered by mutants. We believe they're working for some one... but we don't know. I'm worried that if they are after the dampiels, they could come after you. Perhaps it is some vampire...witih a few mutant friends, but still... you never know."
Gyvien smiled.
"Don't worry about me- just make sure your safe. You are my number one ally remember... just warn the mountain patrol and the streets, and we'll be okay." Feor nodded with this, as he flashed a smile.
" May the night aid you." Then he ran off, as Gyvien turned back and headed for Yuar. Yuar gazed at her curiosly, but did not ask a question. Instead he spoke softly..
"Shall we go?" Gyvien nodded, and they ran off... as Yuar quickly discovered Myra had journied far ahead... but he hoped that they would catch up.

Little did he know... they were soon to be held back again..
(I'll post another post about these two later... they're little mini-plot which should help JT post shouldn't interfere with Rudy and Myra, and I'll probably wait until Yuar and Gyvien can join back up with them. JT - I posted that dampiel name for you, so you can post again.)

[Master Rudy]

Rudy Summers
10:30 PM
------
There was something about all this that made no sense to me. Here I was in the middle of nowhere. I had just been rescued from certain death at the hands of Lantis by Vylianne. I owed her big time following that. Now she was suggesting that perhaps I should head on back to the ship. It was just crazy. As I looked at the lights from the buildings in Wood Water City I just couldn't get what she said out of my head. "This is crazy" I said out loud to myself. "The city is so close. All I have to do is hide myself and lie low and I'll be safe for the night. Once I get my powers back I'll be on much more even ground with Lantis. All I need to do now is find Myra and......"

Suddenly it all became clear. There was only one person who had an idea of where Lantis would take me. But in her condition would Myra really go there without the others? Surely she'd have at least Gyvien with her. However I guess I couldn't blame her if she didn't want to go. I could only imagine what it must have been like for Gyvien. But if Myra was alone what chance would she have? All she would be doing is walking into one big trap. Despite my better judgement I knew what I had to do......

******
10:58 PM
******
Before I could even see it I was able to smell it. There was blood in the area and I knew it wasn't good. From the scent I was picking up I could tell that both vampires and humans were involved. However the humans really overpowered the vampires. That was a pretty good sign that whatever happened didn't go well for them. When I arrived I had found six bodies in the area. The first I had come across was the vampire that had helped me. I guess I was hoping Lantis wouldn't find out but it appeared he did. She was dead in a pool of her own blood with a wound that appeared to enter her back and exit her stomach. As she layed on the ground I could see her eyes were still open. It was clear just by looking at them that she wasn't expecting that blow. Kneeling down next to her I reached out and closed them. I knew that she couldn't hear me but I spoke to her anyway. "I didn't even know your name. However I will make sure you didn't die for nothing. I'm willing to give up my own life if it'll put an end to Lantis."

Looking up I saw the second body which was next to her. This one was clearly human. As I got near I remembered who it was. It was the female hunter I had seen on the rooftop the other night while we were looking for Gyvien. I had no clue what she was doing here so I went closer to examine the body. There appeared to be no signs of a struggle. Her neck was sliced open and nearby was a pair of wounds that could only mean one thing. The only thing keeping me from adding another bite was the lack of blood. Her body was drained dry and except for what was dried up there was nothing left. Suddenly something caught my eye. Near the body of the hunter was a small gold ring. It didn't take long to figure out whose it was as I picked it up. "My mother's ring. Myra's ring." I said as I looked at it up close. There was no longer any doubt that Myra was here. Had she dropped it?

Questions about her would need to wait a moment however as I placed the ring in my pocket and went to check out the other bodies. The last four were grouped together. Before I got near them I could tell they were humans. However they were the last people I expected. I couldn't even say anything as I got closer. In front of me was the body of Jack. The human who had owned the Wood Water Inn and helped me in the past was now dead. The others with him were the rest of his family. All four of them were handcuffed and appeared to have been taken prisoner. Fighting back would have only been a losing battle. However they didn't even get the chance to fight back. My guess was that somehow Lantis had found out about them and figured that my only human friends would be useful in some way. However when I escaped they must have been declared as expendable. Jack, his wife and his brother who had owned the bar were all bitten and drained. However his daughter was a different story. She had a bite on her neck as well but it was not the thing that killed her. The thing that had done her in was the weapon the was sticking out of her stomach. To add insult to injury it was my own katana that I had lost in the ally. The weapon that had once saved her life was now responsible for her death.

There was nothing I could do to help them. As I reclaimed my katana the thought of drinking what was left of her blood popped into my mind. However once again I managed to resist. This time it wasn't a lack of blood. Instead what was stopping me was pure rage. I didn't care if I died now. As long as I got a shot at Lantis I would be sastified. As I stood there I shouted "LANTIS! NOW YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR! Show yourself you f****** coward!" However my response was silence. Yelling once more I said "I may be weakened but I will promise you this. If I have to tear this whole mother f****** ship apart to find you I will!" As my rage hit the boiling point my voice became strangely calm. "I'll make you a deal even. If you show yourself now I promise to end it fast. Otherwise the things that the so called Blue Devil did to those humans four years ago will look tame." It was then with no warning that it rose once more as I made myself perfectly clear. "I SWEAR TO F****** GOD THEY WILL HAVE TO CALL ME SATAN ONCE I'M FINISHED WITH YOU AND EACH OF YOUR FOLLOWERS!!!!"

Just then I rushed the door to the ship which was locked tight and started to punch and kick at it. I knew it wouldn't break down but perhaps someone would eventually open it to see just what was going on out here. As my knuckles started to bleed and when the door started to show a little damage I finally heard his voice. "I'm impressed Rudy. Normally you shouldn't be this strong in your weakened state. However if I had to guess I'd say your true power is fueled by your rage." With my back to the door I got into a defensive stance and said "Well if you want to see rage then show yourself. Surely someone as strong as you can't be afraid of a 17 year old vampire." In an unexpected twist Lantis started to speak in a sad voice. "I know what you must be feeling Rudy. I'll even admit that I would have enjoyed doing this. However you must believe me when I say that this time I didn't do it. I swear I tried to stop her." His final line froze me in my place. Surely he couldn't mean......


However I had no time to think about it. With no warning I heard somethign above me. It was only out of pure instinct that I got out of the way of a blow that would have beheaded me. I was just about to charge my attacker when she turned around to reveal who it was. The person who had just tried to kill me was none other than Myra. Within moments I noticed several things. All her injuries were now healed and there was not a single sign of them being there. As for Myra herself I could see that her lips were stained with blood and could smell a tiny bit of each of the five humans on her. I could try to deny and ignore it all I wanted but the facts were right in front of me. Myra had killed all of those humans. My heart had pretty much broke right on the spot. I almost forgot about Lantis until he spoke once again. "Think about it Rudy. Why is it that I found you so easily? Despite what you may have heard I was not the one to plan this little vacation to Earth. You are looking at my true master and the one behind all of this."

I just didn't want to believe it. However rather than think I let my anger once again take control as I rushed Myra. It was clear that I was outclassed but I didn't care. All I could focus on was the pain and rage she had just caused me. She had earned my trust only to break it in an instant. After several blows and blocks I came close to a killing blow. However she dodged it and the only thing it did was graze her face. Before it could even start to bleed however it was already healed. With amazing speed Myra seemed to disappear and was several feet away before I knew what happened. She got into a defensive stance and awaited my next move. Following the initial exchange I was a bit more calm and level headed. Suddenly I started to think. Myra was only 18 years old. Yuar's story supported that and it was very clear that Lantis was older. However if Lantis was as strong as everyone said then why was he taking orders from someone so much younger than him? Something wasn't adding up here. Finally I came to a conclusion. I still didn't know the old Myra too well. However I knew exactly who the new Myra who had come to Earth was. She wasn't capable of doing something like this. Lantis had something up his sleeve like always but I didn't know what it was yet. However when I got a free moment I was going to find out exactly what he had done to Myra......

Asi had started on something of her own but was unable to post it. As a result I'm going to do it for her and then follow it up with my own post.

The Outskirts of Wood Water City

Nothing mattered anymore.
Lantis had control of my body, of my every action, even my voice was not my own so I couldnt even cry out in defiance. Always, ALWAYS have I stayed strong in the face of adversary, never allowing a situation to get so desperate, so out of control that I would lose all hope. Until now.

Lantis was too powerful. I was too weak. And no one would be coming to my aid this time. Rudy was dead, the one person on this Earth that I could trust, the one person in my life that taught me what it was like to care about someone. And I re-payed that trust, that kindness, with being weak and allowing the man, the creature that murdered my family to take him and murder him too. So what did it matter now, that I was merely a passenger in my own body, someone else behind the wheel? What did it matter that I had committed the unforgivable and tasted blood? The feeling of complete and utter hopelessness dulled any sense of anything in my mind, and for the longest time I didnt pay much attention to what Lantis was making me do. I just withdrew to a small dark corner of my mind and mourned, mourned the death of Aneles, of Rudy, and of myself. I....I had given up......

But then I heard a voice whispering, so low I wasnt sure if I was imagining it. It was a voice that was familiar, and that made my heart almost start beating from pure joy. It was Rudy! Somehow he was alive, somehow he managed to escape from Lantis, and somehow he came back here, maybe knowing I had come looking for him! Forgetting what had happened to me, I tried to make my body stand up. I wanted to run to him, shout for joy, hug him tight and cry and laugh at the same time. But I could do none of these things, my body was otherwise occupied. I realised that I had hold of a human, and was draining her, but upon hearing Rudy my body paused. "Damn...." Lantis's voice echoed in my mind, and then suddenly my hands dropped the barely alive, half drained human and stood up. The human, still aware enough to realise someone was near that could possibly help her, tried to cry out for help as she attempted to crawl away from the area. I felt my face twist into a snarl. No...... I thought to myself, as my hand lifted Rudys katana into the air. I tried to will myself back into control, tried to lower my hand or drop the katana, I couldnt stop what Lantis wanted to do. My face didnt even flinch as my hand drove the katana into her stomach, silencing her already weak cries for help. And then, without warning, I faded into the shadows, a trick I had only seen Lantis do.

Frustration, anger, sadness, longing, and horror boiled inside me. I was so close, SO DAMN CLOSE! I could see Rudy walk into view, see the horror and grief on his face as he saw the bodies of his friends. I saw the rage take over as he came to the body of the girl and discovered she had been killed with his own katana. I was so close to him, I...I could....if I could just move my hand a little bit I could reach out.....
He freed his katana from the girl and stared at it for a few moments, watching the blood run down the blade, his face contorting with a hundred emotions, before he totally lost it. He yelled at the top of his lungs, shouting things I never thought I would EVER hear Rudy say, in a voice that I no longer recognised as his. And then it a fit of pain and rage he attacked the door of the ship, beating on it furiously with hands and feet until he started to bleed.
”My my isnt he determined...” I heard Lantis’s voice echoing within my mind again. But Im sure he wont be so determined to kill ME once he knows who REALLY killed those worthless creatures....heheh..
No... I had forgotten. Rudy didnt know what happened to me, he had no idea that Lantis was now controlling my body. He didnt know that when I spoke, it wasnt ME speaking. He didnt know that even though it was my hands doing the killing, they did so with no direction from me. And I was afraid to find out what he would do if he saw me covered in the human blood of his friends.

Unfortunately, I would find out very soon.

Suddenly my hand began to form itself into the metal claw, and within the space of a second, I became visible again and my hand took a swipe at Rudys head. Im not sure whether somehow I was able to twitch my hand at the last minute or just plain luck but Rudy managed to keep from getting his head knocked off. Though soon it was clear he was spared the physical pain just to be doubly hit by the mental pain as soon as he saw who his attacker was.
I saw him look at the blood all over my face, at the twisted expression it wore, and watched as something shattered inside of him. The look of pain, betrayal, horror and heartbreak on his face was wrenching at my heart, but there was nothing I could do about it. And then, as if things werent bad enough, Lantis decided to pour gasolene on the fire and tell Rudy that I was the one who was planning this whole thing from the start.

It was then that Rudy attacked me. In a mix of pain and fury he charged in, and started swinging the katana at me. My clawed hand parried most of his attacks and struck back, occasionally grazing him. It seemed that Lantis was toying with Rudy like this, probably hoping Rudy would fatally injure me before he had me kill him. Hoping that we would both die by each others hands in the perfect tragic end, before continuing with whatever sick plans he had for the Earth. Though Lantis wasnt being serious, I could tell Rudy wasnt holding back. He was trying to kill me.
NO! This CANT end this way!
”End what way, dear one? Wont it be much better with this runt dead? After all, he doesnt seem to care for you very much.”
Lantis’s little voice was starting to get VERY annoying. I felt rage start to grow within me, and then suddenly a blow came very close to slicing my head off. I faded into the shadows again and ended up about 5 feet away.
I dont care what you say, Lantis, Im not going to let you kill him.
”Well then, lets see if he feels that way about you.”
I then got into a defensive stance, and I saw Rudy studying me carefully. What was he thinking? What was he going to do? If....if he did attack again, how could I keep myself from killing him? It seemed like an impossible situation, it seemed like no matter what happened, whether Rudy killed me or I killed him, neither of us would win. It was a lose-lose situation, and how could anything change it?

Maybe I really was starting to go insane. In the eyes of anyone else Myra would have been the enemy. I was sure that if the other had been with me that they would have had good reason to believe it. There were six bodies all around. While no one would have a good reason to believe what Lantis had said I had to admit the evedence was very strong. Each of the humans that had died were bitten by a vampire. Anyone could easily see she was covered in blood. As for vampires and dampiels they could have easily smelled the blood all over Myra. However soon after the first attack was broken off I noticed something I had overlooked. The last body was the vampire that was Myra's friend. Out of everyone that was in the area the scent of her blood was the only one not on Myra. While it may have been something minor it was a start towards proving that she had not done this on her own. I then remembered what Vylianne and the other vampire had said about Lantis. He had several powers that some of us could only dream of having. In the past I had heard about how some of the older vampires had mental powers that were beyond imagination. Somehow deep down I had a feeling he had done something to her mind to force her to do his bidding.

I was certain about one thing however. This whole situation stank. Now that I had actually taken a moment to think about things nothing seemed to add up. I had a very good feeling that I had discovered the source of this new problem but I wasn't going to let on just yet. If Lantis knew then what would stop him from killing us both while we were busy worrying about each other? This standoff finally came to an end when Myra actually spoke. I was waiting for her to do this soon but the words were not what I was expecting. "E tuh'd fyhd du caa ed aht mega drec Rudy. Drana ec hu naycuh vun ic du pa vekrdehk mega drec. Ryjah'd oui ajan fyhdat du ghuf fryd ouin dnia bufan fyc? Drao syo pa tayt pid dra pmuut uv draca humans ec cdemm fyns. Oui'ja cdemm kud y lryhla du zueh ic." I might have had some doubts if Myra had spoken English but instead she went for our own language. All of the younger vampires such as myself and Myra would speak it every now and then. However it was only the older ones such as Lantis that used it almost exclusively. While I had never heard him speak it myself I was pretty sure he wouldn't bother with a human language if he could avoid it. I was now willing to bet my life on the fact that Myra was under some kind of control. While still trying to keep an eye out for Lantis I told her "You know I won't do that Myra." I still didn't want to let on that I figured things out in case Lantis still had something in mind. Taking on a tone that sounded defeated I asked her "So tell me something. Where those nothing more than lies the other night on that roof? What about inside the inn when I admited my feelings for you? Did you just go along with what I was saying because you believed I was easy to manipulate?" Myra just stood there as I continued. "I'm sorry Myra but one of us has to go. Tonight one of us will have to die." With a sigh she drew the katana I had given her earlier and said to me "Cu pa ed Rudy. I've chosen my path. But sadly you've chosen death." The next round of this fight was about to get underway. However would I be able to snap her out of it without killing her?

[Asilynne]

Lantis's control over Myra reminded me of a Metallica song called 'Sad but true'. If anyone wants to check it out a link for the lyrics is here. Youd be surprised at how well it fits too ^-~

BTW, thank you for posting that for me Rudy ^-~
~~~~Myra Link~~~~
:::11:10PM:::

"Was everything a lie?"

NO DAMMIT NO!!! My mind screamed, trying to say out loud what I could only think thanks to that bastard Lantis. Being trapped in my mind was like being trapped in a coffin that was too small, instead of being comfortable and cozy, there was no way to move my arms and legs, and no one could hear my cries. It was the most frustrating thing I had ever experienced.
But Lantis had been strangely quiet when Rudy spoke those words. It felt as if Rudys words had confused him, heh, like for once in his life there was something he didnt understand. Of course not, Lantis could never understand. He had said so himself that things such as love were not meant for creatures of the night, but he was wrong. I felt like clenching my fists.
My finger twitched.
I jumped inwardly. How....did I just.... I had wanted to clench my hands into fists, and then.. Somehow I had gained enough control over my own body to move my finger slightly. It was a small thing, but it showed Lantis's control was not complete. But what....Of course! Lantis was preoccupied, Rudy had said something that Lantis did not know how to respond to! Now that I had an idea of how I could take myself back I started to try and loosen Lantis's hold on me, bit by bit. But I wouldnt get the chance to see if it would work, this time.
"I'm sorry Myra but one of us has to go. Tonight one of us will have to die."
It was a death threat. Something Lantis knew how to deal with, very well. Instantly the fog of his confusion dissapated, and I heard my voice condemn Rudy to death. But all was not lost. Lantis wasnt talking to me anymore, and he didnt seem to notice the brief moment when a part of me was free. There was still hope, I would just have to wait for another chance.

That chance would come, though not in the form I expected.

The battle started again, this time my hand weilding a katana. And this time, it seemed Rudy was holding back. I had seen him fight, many times, with various degrees of injuries, and he never backed down. But there was something about how he was fighting now that told me something was different. Could he have figured out it was not me saying those things, who killed those people? My sword swung at him, an attack that Rudy would usually parry quickly and follow up with a strike of his own, but this time he merely ducked down under the blade. Yes! I wasnt crazy, I wasnt imagining things! But I tried not to call attention to that fact, because if Lantis knew Rudy saw through his scheme, his 'fun time' would be over, and so would our lives.
My foot came out and kicked Rudy while he was down. Then, so fast I couldnt even see it, my hand reached down and lifted Rudy up by the collar of his shirt and slammed him against the wall of the ship, causing him to lose his grip of his katana. RUDY!! My claw hand was holding him there, a couple feet off the ground, but rather than show anger or pain his face took on an expression of quiet nobility as he reguarded me. When he spoke he sounded as though everything was lost. "Well Myra, are you going to kill me then? Why didnt you kill me when Lantis was coming for you last night, why did you try to hide my identity? It wouldve been so easy to end it then." Rather than respond, Lantis chose to have me drive my katana into Rudys thigh. Despite the obvious pain he was in, Rudy merely kept looking at me with that look on his face, his eye twitching the only sign of what he was feeling. The sword might as well have imbedded itself in me for how much it hurt me to hear what he said and to see him in pain. Not happy with the fact Rudy did not cry out, Lantis had my hand twist the katana into his flesh. Pain crossed Rudys features, and I felt as though part of me was dying. Anger began to well up in me, anger and frustration at seeing Rudy in pain, and knowing that "I" was causing it. Suddenly a gold and red shine tumbled out of Rudys slashed open pocket and clanged to the ground. Looking at it, I saw what it was.
The ring Rudy had given me, that had slipped off, and.....
Aneles's earrings.
The memory of those earrings, of Aneles's death, and of the most recent pain and sorrow in Rudys eyes, was too much for me to keep in check. My pain, anger, and frustration grew to a size I had never experienced before. I felt like I was gonna explode, like if I didnt scream and let it all out I was going to pop. The storm that was raging inside me was too much for Lantis to handle, his controls over me were weakening, I could feel it. There wasnt enough room inside me for anything but my own pain and rage, so Lantis was being evicted. Perhaps sensing this, he had my hand give the katana one more shove and twist, which Rudy couldnt keep in anymore. His cry of pain was the last final push, and my soul cried out with him as every shred of Lantis's control was shoved out by my howl of pain, rage, and frustration. I withdrew my hand pinning Rudy to the wall and he dropped, landing on the ground with a thud. I fell to my knees, seeing nothing but white hot rage as I screamed to the sky, clutching my head in my hands. Clenching my fists, I pounded them into the hard dirt, and crumpled up there, my screams turning into sobs as my mind and my body came together as one again.
I felt an arm close gently around me, and practically on instinct I clutched onto Rudy, not wanting to ever let go. Though I was sobbing, shaking and crying, I felt better than I had all night.

I was free.

But Lantis had other ideas. I heard his voice echo around the area, still not able to see where he was.
"No one EVER escapes from me......."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
^-^ Well I hope that does the last post justice ^-~
Im guessing that the final battle with Lantis is coming up, so get ready everyone! If your character can sense auras pretty good, then they wouldnt be able to miss that emotional explosion, it should stand out like a beacon, so it would attract lots of attention to anyone who is able to sense it.

OOC-I'm not posting now. Instead I've got a suggestion for Asi. I'd like input from the others as well. Since this topic isn't going to last forever once the RPG ends I can start archiving every page once we reach the end. Perhaps once Dawn is over I could e-mail Asi the files so that everything can be posted on the website. What do you guys think? Do you think Asi's site at Angelfire would give her enough space to be able to save it all? I just checked the first page of the RPG in wordpad. The whole first page is a 107 kb file and takes up 26 pages when in Times New Roman/10 point font. Overall it's not too large but keep in mind I can cut out the things that are not needed (OOC posts, sigs, TPM user info, ect)in order to cut the file down a bit.

Send me an e-mail and let me know if I should start to save everything Asi ^_~

I believe Angelfire gives 20 MB, so with 107 x15+, it shouldn't be a problem.

[Bulbasaur4]

^^ Yeah, shouldn't be a problem. If you need help or anything, I'd be glad to load up some files as well which could be connected to Asi's site.


Yuar & Gyvien (combined post)

***

Yuar and Gyvien were running into the night air, until suddenly a figure ... or rather a flash of aura came across Yuar's mind. This was some thing Yuar caught severely... because the aura was full of pursuit which caught Yuar's attention. He stopped in his tracks, and Gyvien stopped after a few steps afterwards. Gazing back at him, she was still with in her human side of mind... thus her senses had to be weakened. A flicker of question flared up with in her blue eyes, as Yuar then suddenly gasped.
"Gyvien! Get back!"
BUt it was too late.

A crowd of shadows came forth, and instantly one of them struck Gyvien with a harsh blow to the side. Such an uproar caught her easily, causing her to smash to teh ground. But luckily for her, even her human side was equipped with grace as she leapt to her feet and stood straight in a defensive position. Yuar instantly dashed forward, but found three other figures leap into his way. Yes... Yuar had sensed them, and they were here.

It didn't take long for either Gyvien or Yuar to figure out what they were. Two mutants and three vampires... five of them, and they were not too happy. The question of why was rather hard... why were two mutants and three vampires teaming up together? Yuar didnt' know, but he did know by the stances of the three vampires as they leapt into his field of vision, that they would be tough to tackle. And those mutants looked as easily harmful... as they approached Gyvien.
The mutants made a lunge and Gyvien, but she was quick to withdraw her close-range weapon, a finely tuned dagger which she had held onto for so long. Lashing at the air, it was enough to make the mutants take a few startled steps backwards as she glared and quickly regained her footing enough to defend herself. Yuar knew however, with her human state of mind she wouldnt' be nearly as adaptable with out her vampire side... it would have been teh same with her vampire side in control as well. She would have been irrational- she needed both to be at her peak.
"Hold on Gyvien..." Yuar whispered, as suddenly a flash of metal came from the air at Yuar. Yuar's reactions were upon key however, as he instantly unleashed his longer dagger- but it was almost the mirror image of Gyvien's. Instantly the metals clashed, and Yuar gritted his teeth as the vampire pressed forward... but soon a swift kick to the leg and a punch to his jaw came into contact at almost identical times. Yuar released his hold upon the other's sword, as he took two swift steps back and saw teh other two vampires had delivered the blows. Yuar then began to show his skills... some thing he had not severely done all night.
"This is only three..." Yuar spoke outloud so that the vampires could hear.
" Hardly fair for you."
With that they glared and came at him harder- just as he had expected. They were irrational, and made sloppy mistakes in their furry. Yuar turned and spun many times, dodging several blows and recieving slight glancing ones. He watched the one with teh sword however, making sure to dodge that one. The first vampire who had punched him came at him first... after several flips backwards by Yuar. He posed with his sword, and stood still until the vampire charged. He then dodged the swift aimed kick by the vampire, and found the other twin vampire came at him with a kick. Bringing his sword down instantly and almost too precise for any normal vampire, his blade met the leg and sliced the leg clean. The metal was strong and finely crafted, and the leg was sliced clean off. A howl of pain came through the air, as suddenly the other vampire before came at him again after missing the other blow... but Yuar jerked his elbow back- withdrawing his bloody sword and elbowing the returning vampire directly in the gut before it laid a blow. Yuar then twirled around and charged, swiftly kicking this vampire in the head after jumping upwards, and then coming down upon the vampire with his sword-like dagger, cutting the vamp in the shoulder deeply. Twisting the metal, Yuar jerked the swordish dag. hard, until the vampire called out in pain. Yuar swiftly too his one hand off the blade and sent a hard punch to the vampire's face, and then he jerked the sword out. Kicking the vampire one more time, he was sent flying back into the brick wall with unbelievable force, and with a snapping crack the vampire was disposed.
The other one with the now missing leg was howling in pain... as Yuar took his sword and finished him off cleanly. But as he did so, and had the blade stuck into the chest... a movement of air came from behind. Yuar quickly turned away, just in time to miss a blade... but it cut him rather deeply in the left shoulder. Clothing cleanly was ripped, as warm blood rushed over the shoulder and began to warm his shoulder area. Yuar jerked his sword more quickly, whirling around to see the vampire with teh sword had returned to avenge his two friends. A swift clash of sword came again... as they combined in a dance of metalry, but Yuar could tell that he was more powerful than this vampire... even with a bleeding shoulder. Still, this vampire was smart... and pushed toward the injured shoulder side. Yuar held onto the sword with both hands, as they stood there... and suddenly teh other vampire took his fist and swung at Yuar unexpectedly.

This was a deadly mistake.

Yuar did not expect teh blow, but he was quick enough to react. He quickly dodged it and withdrew his sword, causing the vampire to stumble forward. As he did so, Yuar drew his sword backwards again, retracing it's step and cutting the Vampire effortlessly high into the air- decapitating the creature.

Taking a few staggering steps back, Yuar breathed heavily as he turned back to gaze to see how Gyvien was. Blood ripped down his face from the punch which left a strange clean cut. His shoulder oozed heavily, as he winced from some pain to his side but it was going away as his vampire side was healing it. Gyvien had killed one of the mutants... but the other now had her pinned to a wall, but it did not harm her. It was as if he was trying to capture her...

A loud bang echoed through the air, and the mutant's eyes widened as they stared into the startled Gyvien's emerald ones, but then he fell, and then lay motionless. Gyvien gazed turned to Yuar instantly, as he breathed heavily, holding his black gun in one hand, and the bloodied sword-like dagger in the other. His hair rippled in the wind slightly, as blood dripped from his chin to the ground. Yuar made not a sound, but his eyes widened swiftly again as he put his gun away and kept his sword out- still dripping with the blood.

"I sense Myra... they actually are not that far."

Gyvien got to her feet, although her hair was ruffled and her skirt was ripped and torn at teh side, along with a nasty cut at her upper arm and a small nick at her ear. Other then that, she was seemingly okay... just scuffed up.
"Let's go..." She faintly whispered, as Yuar nodded and they rushed off.

More big surprises up ahead in this post ^_~

Rudy Summers
11:15 PM
------
It was all over. Thankfully that situation had ended in a way that I wouldn't regret. Myra had broken free of the control she was under. After pulling her closer to me we just sat there for a moment as I made an attempt to comfort her. I was about to return the ring and earrings to her when she pushed away and looked at me as her eyes filled with tears. I could hear the pain and sorrow in her voice as she said "I'm so sorry Rudy." Myra had no need to explain since I figured it all out for myself. She may have been the one that did the killing but it wasn't by her free will. "I didn't want to do it Rudy" she sobbed as I once again held her tight. "Not only did I kill them but I also tasted their blood." I wasn't sure what exactly to say to her. How could I comfort Myra after all that? Even if I could I wouldn't have had a chance.

After his outburst Lantis was calm now and back to doing what he did best. Once again he was trying to drive a wedge between me and Myra as his voice echoed around the two of us. "That's right Rudy. The girl you love has become the very thing you hunt. There's no way you'll let her live now is there? What would your father think if you let a vampire like Myra go?" Trying my best to ignore the pain as I stood up I said "It won't work Lantis. There's no way you'll get me to kill Myra." Lantis just laughed and said "Well this wasn't my original plan but it all works better in the end. This whole thing was originally planned for you. I figured the best way to break you would be to force you to do the one thing you've tried to avoid. Watching you go crazy over the deaths of your friends was going to be an added bonus once I released you." I could once again feel my anger boiling but I was calm as I spoke. "So why the change of plans then? Why do this to Myra and not me?" I was pretty sure Lantis would have had a huge smirk on his face if the coward had actually reveled himself. "Well you see my mind control only works when my intended victim has a huge amount of uncontrolable rage. I could have taken you with no problem if it wasn't for the fact that you were focused on your sister. The problem with this power is that the person has to be 100% focused on me. You had the rage but when I tried to enter your mind I saw that you were too busy thinking about how terrible it must have been for Gyvien. But then again now that I think about it I believe she actually enjoyed it." As the son of a b**** started to laugh I nearly lost my mind. The only thing stopping me was Myra. "Don't do it Rudy. It's what he wants." I tried to calm down as Lantis went on to explain choosing Myra instead of trying again with me. "When Myra came along I knew nothing would tear you up more than thinking about how she must live with a fate that was intended for you. It must be horrible knowing that if you weren't so worried about that damn half breed you could have saved Myra from this. However as I said before it works out in the end. After all how can Myra expect to be a princess if she won't kill a human every now and then?"

Anger soon turned to shock once I heard those words. However when I turned to Myra to try and confirm it I saw she was just as confused as me. Lantis gasped and started to speak in a voice that showed surprised. "Oh dear me! Did I forget to mention that to you your highness?" Myra was shocked over this turn of events and simply asked "I'm a princess?" Lantis was quick to explain this as well. "Your father never was one that liked formal titles. He actually considered himself to be equal to everyone else. It's such a shame when I think about it. He could have had so much and yet he threw it all away." I watched as Myra soaked in what she just heard. The look of shock turned to one that looked as if it had just discovered the truth behind something. "This explains everything Lantis! It wasn't the fact that my father and mother didn't want to take over the Earth like you. It was the fact that they posed a major threat wasn't it? You knew that if they were not out of the way that you would have eventually been exposed for what you really are." Lantis just remained silent as both myself and Myra waited for an answer. Suddenly from out of the shadows I saw a figure move. Soon it was followed by several more. Before we could react to what was happening we were faced with the task of fighting off 15 vampires. Five each were on the two mountain paths leading away from here while the rest surrounded us. With our backs up against the entrance to the ship I knew we had no choice but to fight.

As everyone on the battlefield drew their weapons I got in front of Myra. Even with my injuries and the knowledge that she was now stronger than me I was still determined to protect her. Lantis laughed and said "Now isn't this sweet? It seems like the Blue Devil feels the need to protect his princess. As I've already told the two of you no one escapes me alive." Myra seemed to ignore Lantis as she spoke. "This is crazy Rudy. As much as I hate what has happened to me I know that I'm more powerful now. Meanwhile your still weakened. You shouldn't be doing this." Without taking my eyes off the five vampires who currently had us cornered I told her "That may be true but I still wouldn't forgive myself if you got hurt." That always annoying voice that I had grown to hate let loose yet another laugh and said "Could the two of you end this now please? Once your both dead you'll have the chance to share a shallow grave together." Despite how bad things currently were I chuckled and said to Myra "I don't think that is what I had in mind when I said I wanted to be with you forever." My last comment seemed to really annoy Lantis. "I can only take so much of this b***s*** you call love. Kill them! NOW!"
------

Right now this will be strictly a battle involving just Myra and Rudy. It would be best if everyone else stayed out of it for now.

Roland
After Awhile of stalking my “prey” I had finally found him standing next to a dark building. As I wastzed up to him I let out a slight giggle. When I got closer I noticed that Skyler was ready for a fight, he stiffened, “Its over Roland, im tired of running away from you! Its time I fight back!” He demanded. “Oh? Little vamp. boy wants to fight? Well then! You get first hit!” I said as I turned and spread my arms out bowing slightly. “No Roland! No more games! This time its to the death, a real fight!” he proclamed. Looking over my shoulder I grinned at him, “For real then, yes?” I said in a priestly manner. Turning I drew my sword, Skyler taking his dagger out. “Come on you damned priest!” Skyler yelled, as a scream echoed in the distant darkness, skyler took a short glance in the direction heard. In that slight instant I was running at him sword ready to stab. Looking back, Skyler dodged and stabbed me in the gut. Blood splatted in the air landing on his face. I stopped and held the dagger that was planted in my stomach, and let out a choked laughter.
“nice! Nice skyler! ....But...if you really want to kill someone.. you twist!” I coughed out in a harsh tone as I gripped the dagger tightly in my gloved hands. Twisting the dangger more blood soaked my black priest shirt, pulling the dagger out skyler backed a few stepped from me. Straitening up I was holding my organs in as blood still oozed. After awhile my wounds started to heal quickly. “ Yes! How fun you are brother! My turn?” I asked sheathing my sword. “its time to see a real vampire fight!! Watch and learn Skyler cause this will be the last thing you see!!!” Disappearing I grabbed Skylers neck and slammed him into the building he was next to and throwing him to the ground. Coughing up a little blood, skyler got to his feet and readied himself. picking him up again by the neck, I took a small dagger and slowly raised it to his open neck. “it looks like the end my dear friend! ...Hhehe.. May GOD be with you!” I laughed as I drew the dagger closer.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liven dinas

“No!! Dont Roland! drop that dagger RIGHT now!” I yelled as I had one of my guns pointed at Roland head. I was about to pull the trigure when amethyst stopped me. “No liven ill deal with him...After all he is my pet vampire!” She stepped closer to the evil priest. roland still holding Skyler, gave a look of dread when he saw who was there, which surprised me greatly. Throwing Skyler to the ground he folded his arms and shifted his weight to his left leg. I ran to Skylers aid,as Roland spat to the ground. “What the hell are you doing here......” he asked in a tone almost sounding sane.
“Why Roland im here to take back my gift! That was a nice trick you pulled back in the alley, but it didnt work quite as planned!” she smiled at him and continued, “I give you back that gift you wanted soo much and this is what I get in return? Oh no...no. Roland I think I have to take it back now!” She stopped smiling and walked to roland. before she could get to him farwell stepped in. “wait!” Roland ,amethyst and I all looked at Farwell. “None of you need to be involved! I started this...i think I should end it all! he is my responsiblity after all, i....i.. should have seen theevil man he was......” he sighed then continued. “I know why now that I have lived as a vampire...and that is to kill you and stop this madness!” Farwell almost yelled. leaning down, helping skyler get up, I looked up at Farwell my friend. “No Farwell! youll die! I dont want you to! I should kill!” I yelled at farwell. farwell gave a sort of weak smile. “No child, this is my fight.” he said calmly. Getting up I ran to him, I could feel sadness swell up inside me. “Farwell no!” I sobbed, hugging him I kept telling him not to fight that damn priest and that I should, but all he would say was “ no liven , Take skyler to a safe place and leave here...i’ll be ok.” he said. Hugging me back he whispered, “ please” I looked up and wiped my tears away and shook my head. “please be safe Father!” I said then taking Skyler I took one look and walked away.

PRIEST WARSSSSSS!!!!!!! ok Frank your turn!! ^,^

[Asilynne]

~~~~Myra Link~~~~
Surrounded...
:::11:27PM:::
That bastard Lantis. I thought to myself as the other vampires slowly surrounded me and Rudy, cutting off any form of escape. We were pressed up against the walls of the ship, in a narrow corner, but I wasnt worried about claustrophobia. I was worried about Rudy.
He was still injured from earlier tonight. His wounds hadnt healed at all, and as if to make it worse “I” had caused him some new ones thanks to Lantis’s control. And yet, despite all this....he stood in front of me, to shield me from the oncoming onslaught of Lantis’s followers.
For all the pain he was in, the weakness this night brought to those who have not tasted blood, he wanted to protect me.
And this hurt more than everything else.
As happy as I was to be with Rudy again, I didnt see why he would want to help me after what happened. Lantis said so himself, Rudy saw it, I had tasted blood. I was now one of the creatures Rudy hunts, a blood drinker, and even though I had not wished to taste blood now that I have it has become a part of me forever.
Now I need to drink blood to survive.
“Rudy....” I started to say in a choked voice, but, as if on cue, the 5 vampires that had us surrounded attacked. But Rudy was ready. The corner we were trapped in was narrow, limiting the number of attackers that could reach us comfortably. Though they were experienced fighters, Rudy had a slight advantage since they were getting in each others way. The first two that reached us were quickly taken out as Rudy swung his katana, taking off their heads and sending their blood spraying in all directions. The others seemed a bit startled, but, despite their better judgement, charged in also. Apparently they were more afraid of Lantis than they were of getting killed. The result was the same either way.
It seemed like I wasnt even there for the longest time, like I was watching from a dream, and could do nothing but witness the bloody specticle before me, until the sheer numbers and Rudys fading strength began to take its toll. Slashed, beaten and exahsted with fighting off the remaining 13 vampires, Rudy stumbled back, leaning against me and panting, holding a wound across his ribs. “M....Myra...” He gasped out, still reguarding the approaching vampires with a deadly glare. “Get...out of here...”
Panic rose up within me. “Rudy...! Im not going to leave you!”
“Again....” That voice..... Suddenly Lantis appeared behind the group of his men and sneered. “You DID leave him before Myra, so why have a problem with it now? In fact...” He sidled up to the outer ranks of his men and sneered again. “All this pain couldve been prevented Myra. The boy could have been spared such a messy and bloody end if it wasnt for you. If you didnt love him all of this could be over...all this ruckus couldve been avoided.” He waved his hand dismissively over the bloody field, as he sighed and feigned sadness. “But, my dear Myra, of course it HAD to be this way. I guess love means you would rather see him die slowly and painfully rather than quick and merciful.... Such a selfish thing this love is, indeed...”
Horrified, I could only stare at Lantis. Is.....it MY fault.....? A part of my mind yelled at me, telling me Lantis was a liar and that nothing he said could be believed, but still I wondered. Had Rudy been thrown into this because of my problems? If such a thing was true, if all this pain was really because of me, then I would never be able to forgive myself. My parents, my mother, she loved me and yet I killed her...will it happen again? Will I once again be responsible for the death of someone because I love him?
“Your wrong Lantis.” Rudys voice broke me out of my horrified thoughts. “If any of this is anyones fault its yours. Because your too stupid to see anything but your own twisted lies. You believe its the Aristocrats right to rule this planet, that the humans are just cattle, but I know the truth.” Rudy smiled grimly. “The truth is that your just a relic from an ancient time. An old man from an age where fear ruled all. Its not like that anymore. Earth has outgrown you, and though its far from perfect, its better than what you deserve. You are not the future Lantis, we are.” Rudy glanced at me with a tender look, then glared back at Lantis. “So get off my planet.”
Lantis laughed. “Oh, wonderful speech Rudy. Now, I suppose your going to make me? Do tell...”
Getting his balance back, he gripped his katana with both hands and hunched forward in a defensive postition. As I heard the first words of what he said next, I was filled with dread. “Ev drec kuac pyt drah bmayca vunkeja sa Myra. Ev drec bmyh pylgvenac drah zicd nasaspan dryd.....” He took a deep breath and when he spoke again it was the voice of a man that had resigned himself to death. “E muja oui.” I had heard this from him once before, and though we had gotten out of that situation without any causulties Oyar was small game. Lantis was a much bigger problem.
As he finished speaking, Rudy began to charge headlong at Lantis, ignoring the other vampires and his own injuries. The other vampires swarmed Rudy and I soon lost sight of him in the mass of attacking vampires.
Images flashed in my mind.
My mother, blood trickling out of her mouth as she whispered, Why....
My father, still trying to protect Mother though he knew it was too late...
Aneles, the look of shock and horror on her face as Lantis took her life, when all she was trying to do was warn me....
No.... Lantis had claimed enough victims, had made me lose all hope when he said Rudy was dead. I had thought I lost him forever then....the thought of losing him again was too much to bear...
The pain was too much....
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I howled as something took over me, the pain billowing up until an explosion of shadow, not quite black but dark blue, erupted from me. I felt my wing cape grow and spread into a razored wing, and it shot outward at the mass of vampires surrounding Rudy. The result was a cyclone of blood as it ripped the vampires to shreds, revealing Rudy hunched over in the spray of blood around him. He looked at me and for a moment looked startled, and then wondering, at what I had become. Realising I was now shaped like a giant shadowed bird, but not letting myself wonder how, I set out to attack Lantis with the wing. What happened next was too fast for me to remember, but, as I faded back to normal, I saw that Lantis was still standing.
But his cape and his hair from mid-back down had been neatly sliced short.
I ran to Rudy to help him up, as a surge of hope went though me. Lantis had dodged it but not completely. He was not invincible, there WAS a way to defeat him! I smiled grimly. Watch out Lantis, your end is near...Making me drink blood was your last mistake:
Because now I have the power to defeat you.

[Master Rudy]

OOC-I've been meaning to do so Kalah. I'll see what I can do tonight when I've got a little more time ^_~

[Master Rudy]

It's time to get this show on the road

Rudy Summers
Near midnight
Outside the ship
------
I just watched in shock and awe as Myra let loose her true power. Only the strongest vampires were able to transform in such a way. Within a matter of moments the only trace of the group that had attacked us was the heavy smell of their blood in the air. As I watched Myra revert back to her normal form it became very clear to me. If anyone would be able to beat Lantis it was going to be her. What had once seemed like an impossible task now seemed to be within our grasp. Even so I knew this would not be easy. As strong as she was Myra was still going to need help. In my current state I knew that I wasn't going to be much use. Thankfully somewhere off in the distance I could sense Gyvien and Yuar coming. It would only be a matter of time before.....

Wait a minute? Am I imagining things or did I actually sense them coming?

I tried to focus on them for a moment. Sure enough they were there. Following that I saw that some of the first cuts I had gotten during the night weren't as deep as I remembered them. It seemed as if my powers were returning to me. With a smirk I thought to myself This is great! If the others are coming and if I'm starting to heal then perhaps we actually have a chance! Suddenly Myra said "It's good to hear that Rudy but are you sure that the others are on their way? I can't sense them at all." That confused me quite a bit. Looking at her I asked "How could you know that? I didn't say a word." However before Myra could said a word Lantis interrupted her. "Well isn't this grand. Not only does the boy's healing kick back in but his true powers are starting to show. It seems like my nephew is a bit of a psychic."

Once again the two of us looked at Lantis and were unsure of what he was talking about. However he didn't take long to explain. "Near midnight any vampires that had lost their powers slowly start to regain them. However don't go thinking you can't win this battle just yet. Those of us who are stronger will not lose our power until sunrise." Myra got into a battle stance and took a step forward as she spoke. "Your forgeting something Lantis. I'm also stronger now as well. I regret the fact that it was due to you forcing me to drink blood. However as you'll soon see it'll be your last mistake." Lantis just gave Myra a very annoyed look as he went on. "Didn't your mother teach you manners my dear Princess Myra? You shouldn't interrupt people who are talking. It's quiet rude you know. You could have at least waited until I was done talking to Rudy." As much as I hated Lantis and what he had done I had to admit he had made me curious about my powers. I didn't even have to say a word since he was more than willing to go on. "As you may know a vampire starts to develop their own powers around the time they turn 18. It's different for some however. I've seen some as young as 15 start to show their powers while others didn't get them until they were in their 20's. You didn't say a single word and yet Myra knew what you had said. Psychics have a strong link with some people. It would appear that your master here is one of those people." With a tone of anger I told Lantis "She isn't any kind of master to me. She's the woman I love." Lantis just laughed at that. "She's the last living member of the royal family. That alone makes her the master that every other vampire must answer to." Both me and Myra didn't say a word. We knew she wasn't the only one but it appeared that Lantis didn't. No point in spoiling a major surprise.

Pretty soon Lantis had gone back to explaining my powers more. "Enough about her. I'm sure your dying to know what you can do. Another one of your advantages is the fact that you can sense others better than most vampires. Hence the reason why Myra didn't know they were coming. As for other powers I'm sure something might have come up within the last few days." For a moment I remembered the vision I had of Gyvien's death at the hands of Oyar. It seemed to support what Lantis was saying. However his voice quickly went from calm to that serious tone I didn't like. "I'm glad I had a moment to tell you about your powers because your never going to get a chance to experience all of them for yourself." With no warning Lantis disappeared. However his words gave me enough of a warning to figure out what was coming. Turning around quickly I managed to raise my katana just in time to block a blow from a sword Lantis had drawn.

The final battle had begun......
------

Just to let you guys know any vampires that have been weakened during the night but managed to survive up to this point are getting their powers back. As for dampiels they should also be returning to their normal personalities soon. If you guys have characters that are free at the moment then feel free to jump in at any point now. Also don't worry about showing up late. I'm pretty sure Asi is going to keep this one going for quiet a bit ^_~

Skyler
Pain...suffering...dispair...

A mad rush of emotion... It had all happened so fast. Roland...so strong...so powerful...too much for me... I had got him...got him with the blow that should have killed that bastard...but I didn't make it. That hideous creature, he sent himself through pain and suffering...just to taunt my worthless soul. Then, he had me. He lifted me up by my neck, and still taunted me. My vision became cloudy, unable to breath. A voice was heard...but unclear on who it was. It must have suprised Roland, because he tossed me to the ground. That monster...I had given it my best...but now I was lying in a growing puddle of my own blood. Then, someone picked me up...and I faded out...

~~~~~~~~~~

...Roland...

I could see him...in the distance...grinning. Grinning that meniacal, insane grin. He then begin to chuckle...and then bursted out in his insane laugh...laughing at me...and my weakness. I drew out my dagger, and charged at the laughing fiend. I slashed through him, but then he appeared behind me and said jeered, "What's wrong, brother?" My anger weld up inside, and I bursted, slashing at him, but then we was farther away. "Come on brother, can't you hit me?" I dived at him, he laughed...drew his sword and...

"NOOOOOOOO!" I cried, springing up. Pain spread through my body, and I whinced in pain, falling back onto the bed. I looked around at my surroundings. "Strange..." I thought to myself. "Where am I?"

"Your in a safe place now," said a familiar voice.

"Liven?" I said as I looked to the right, and there she was. I looked around the room. "Where's Father Farwell?"

"He's..." she looked down at the ground. "He's fighting Roland." Tears dripped onto the ground, moistening the marble floor.

"What? Father...he can't fight...he'll die!"

More tears fell to the ground. "Thats what I told him..." she said in a wavery voice.

I jumped out of bed, the pain still in my bones. "We have to help him."

"No, he told me to bring you to a safe place and leave that place...he said it was his fight."

I looked at her, and those words echoed in my mind. It was his fight. Immediately, I ran down the hallway, ignoring the numbing pain.

"Where are you going?" cried out Liven, in an "I don't think so" tone of voice.

"Farwell's stealing my fight," I cried out. "And I'm not going to let him take it all.

Hold on Farwell...I'm coming...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This should be pretty far into the Roland/Farwell fight, since Skyler's been unconscious for a while. :o Your turn, Steph.

YUAR ORO





“ I can sense Myra’s aura… it’s growing far stronger then I’ve ever sensed it unleashed before.” Yuar spoke quietly, as Gyvien followed his quick, agile movement along the mountainside fairly well. His movements were cat-like, and almost seemed to make him dance along her vision… as if he were doing some intricate ballet which was never designed for anyone but him to follow. His flowing jacket, ripped slightly with blood stains alligned with in it’s black color were slightly seen as her eye sight was bettering. The voices which had egged her on with in the back of her mind were also settling down… she did not hear them as worse any more. Perhaps her night of hell was finally settling down… and if it was, she was glad to obey her own thoughts again. The night had her emotions running on high all night… and she was glad to finally have her own thought process.

I could sense Myra had an inner power… after all, she is part of the royal blood line which runs through my veins as well. It needed arrousal to come out… perhaps Lantis or even Rudy has made it awaken. A night of weakness perhaps is good for her…

Yuar could sense several auras approaching… one obviously Lantis, Rudy, Myra… but there were at least seven more auras he could not quite identify. Each aura had a bit of Lantis with in it…as if almost some one was trying to shroud it. Or was it just some thing to throw Yuar off? These seven auras were a bit a ways off from the other three. Maybe it was trying to throw Yuar and Gyvien off the trail..
No, I will go to my sister.
As Yuar thought it, the memory of his sister’s shouts at him in anger struck against him again. It was a painful blow of the memory, which stung his inner aura quite deeply… Yuar was always calm, silent and serious when it came to physical matters. But the only thing that could really hurt him were matters of the heart and soul… the ones that were the closest to him could only hurt him. Myra had done that… but Yuar had to move on.
On towards them.

Then the action had already begun.

Yuar and Gyvien suddenly broke the steep climb up to the mountain, to come to a flat surface. It was there that Yuar saw the massive spaceship Lantis must have traveled in, so delicately tucked away into the trees but yet it’s looming figure ever showing it’s presense. A ways off before that however, was three figures in motion. Rudy swung his katana about wildly as Lantis tried several mean blows to the head- Lantis was going for a kill. Myra however had also attacked, but like an intricate dance… none of anyone’s attacks seem to connect but rather always were avoided or countered.

As if on cue however, Yuar leapt into motion himself. Anger gripped him suddenly at the sight of Lantis… as the eerie, pale-faced vampire made a blow towards Myra’s face. She barely managed to make the blow glance, and before anyone else could react, Yuar had already done so. He leapt into the air with grace, and as if some mysterious force suddenly shrouded his signature he came down upon Lantis with a swift kick to his jaw. The force itself was surprising- a blood drinking vampire knocking an elder blood drinking vampire off his feet. Lantis was sent reeling, as Yuar landed before Rudy and Myra, who were both angry themselves with looks of determination.
“Yuar… we’ve expected you.” Rudy commented, a bit of relief in his voice.
Could Rudy see me as a … Yuar thought’s began, until suddenly Myra’s voice pierced his mind.
“Yuar-“ As if she was to say some thing else, but Yuar mentally blocked it out. He did not want to hear his sister’s words. Even if he had wanted to, suddenly Lantis was back upon his feet.

It was rather comical.

Lantis’s eyes were full of fiery rage, as he thrusted himself back to his feet and gazed angrily foreward to see who had been the one to attack him. Did Lantis not sense Yuar? How could that have been… but there was no time for thought. Lantis’s expression when his eyes met Yuar’s own completely melted from a fierce, angry rage to a look of shock or even horror. Lantis turned white- if that was even possible for his already pale complexion. It was as if he had seen a ghost…
“Yuar… “ Lantis barely was able to whisper, as Yuar glared, his expression totally unchanging.
“ Lantis.” He flatly stated, his voice full of anger and rage. Rudy and Myra wanted to take down Lantis at that final moment, but some thing about Yuar and Lantis made them stop. There was a connection between the two which had not been fully revealed. Gyvien was by their side- behind them, but she was unnoticed as she quietly stood there not quite understanding herself and fear still gripping her in the face of Lantis.

A silent wind rippled in the cool night air, as Yuar’s auburn hair rippled in his face and he glared straight at Lantis. His fists were clenched tightly, as rage was ready to burst through his chest… he was ready to kill Lantis now that he had faced him. So many years of anguish… so many years of torture… so many years of running away.

Not anymore.

“ Your supposed to be dead!!” Lantis suddenly spoke, breaking the eerie and tensing silence. Lantis was angered as he spoke… but still shock was not entirely over for him. Yuar had died many many years ago… at least, Lantis had thought that. Yuar only shook his head, glaring.
“ Well, let’s just say that your problems are about to come back and kick you hard in the ***.” Yuar retorted, as he took a step foreward and surprisingly Lantis took many steps backwards.
“No… Oyar had reported to me that you died. You fell off that tower many years ago with the hunter and fell into the river. No vampire could survive that… a vampire could survive falling 8 stories, but not into a river… “
Yuar shook his head.
“ Before I kill you Lantis, tell me some thing… why were you so in tune on hurting Gyvien and killing me and my family? We were royal, I always knew that… but what did you really plan? You tell me that, I’ll tell you how I lived and then we can continue a dance to the death.”
“Agreed.” Lantis spoke, his composure returning to him as he took even more steps back, but remained where all could see him. He crossed his arms defiantely..
Rudy and Myra listened, partly guessing most likely how Lantis could listen and agree to Yuar’s terms. Little did they know, or Gyvien for that matter…know how thick and deep Lantis and Yuar’s history ran back.

“ When you were a pathetic little vampire boy in the City of Night, I knew that you were part of the Royal Family when your parents gave you to me to teach you.” Rudy’s eyes widened, as Myra remained rather silent… as if contemplating some thing.
“ Yes, and you did teach me until one day when I beat you in a spare you sent me out. I thought that we were done… until my parents informed me that you refused to teach me anymore. Why Lantis? I was just a mere boy.” Yuar asked, as Lantis narrowed his eyes.
“ You were… slightly dangerous.”
“You mean that because I could beat you in a sparring match, that I was a threat to you? A young five-year old boy?!” Yuar felt rage gripping him… his fists clenched more as he thought of the memories of being casted out of the school… shaming the royal family.
“ He wanted power Yuar, he wanted to take over the Royal Family…” Myra suddenly spoke, as Yuar gave her a sharp look and then looked to Lantis.
“ So was that your whole reason? That was your reason for telling everyone at the City of Night that I betrayed the Vampiric Race and went against the rule of the book by helping Dampiel hunters and humans ‘secrets’ that us Vampires had? I was a five year old boy and you made them believe that!! I understand now… so when I returned back from Earth, you knew that the penalty for such a treason was death of the child and its parents unless the parents killed their child. You thought my parents would kill me… but when they gave you the body, you knew it wasn’t me but couldn’t prove it. So you kept looking.”
Lantis smirked..

“ Yes, and I did find you, didn’t I?”
Yuar narrowed his eyes as Lantis further prodded..
“Yes, I found you… you never could escape or run away from me with out myself finding you sooner or later. It took a while, I admit… and when I found out you had a dampiel with you… well, then I had to act. A dampiel trained and raised by Yuar Link-“
“That’s Yuar Oro to you.” Yuar hissed, not wanting to associate his name with his blood anymore.
“ Whatever serves you, Draconin.” Yuar narrowed his eyes further… suddenly reaching to his boot and whipping out his black-handled dagger. Letting it glint in the end Yuar hissed..
“Say that name again and I’ll slit your throat.”
“Remember our pact Yuar… vampires do not break their word.”
“ Hypocrite!” Rudy barked, as Lantis gave a look of disgust at him.
“Why then Lantis, why attack Gyvien and myself? Why not just try to kill me? Why did you use her?”

At these words Gyvien took a few steps back… as if trying to hide.
“ Well, if you would have let me continue I would have told you. I don’t like telling my secrets, but I have so much you do not know of that I suppose it wouldn’t hurt. You’d find out sooner or later. It was proficey by a Vampire Medium that a dampiel, raised by my enemy, would be the one to lead to my downfall… and the downfall of my kind. When I heard of that, and then several years later heard of you raising her… I had to send people in to kill you. When I thought they had, I kept Gyvien as a prize and then threw her out when I was done using the pathetic excuse for a half vampire. She was trash to me.”
Yuar took a step forward but used his restraint to keep himself from pouncing..

“ Why not kill her? Why did you just let her live?”
“ I had my reasons Yuar, now answer my question so we can end this pitiful turmoil. How did you survive? Or are you really alive? I didn’t sense you when you approached me so rudely…” Lantis rubbed his jaw, as Yuar narrowed his eyes.
“I am no illusion. But I see it now… I see it truly. You wanted to become the leader of our Vampiric race, but since we were part of the Royal family we stood in your way. When I was born, you trained me because you wanted to see how powerful I could become. When I beat you at only my young age of five in a spar, you realized I could defeat you. Since I am the heir to the Royal Family- perhaps a prince you could say although the term makes me cringe- you had to dispose of me. Especially since I was male. But since Myra was a female, you thought you could either win her over to some how get ‘inside’ of the family or perhaps you could easily brainwash her. For a time you succeeded… I see it now.”

Yuar shook his head..
“ Well here is the scoop Lantis. I killed off all six of your hunters except for that coward Oyar. I had one of his minions in my grip about to kill, and he knew I would kill him next. So Oyar pushed both me and the hunter off the building from 8 stories, we fell… and there was a bridge. A factor Oyar should have taken in. I grabbed the edge of the bridge where as the pitiful hunter did not. He fell in and made the splash, I dangled with a dislocated and severely scewed up shoulder. Then I was aided by a frien-err, an aquaintance and now here I am. And you know what that means?”

Yuar threateningly shined his dagger as the others felt the drama finally coming forth to set the battle truly into motion.
“ It means that those who you believed to only be your pawns are back. And pay back is in order… and pay back is a horrible, painful *****.”




(This one is long... ^^ sorry, I've been itching to post. I would have kept typing for my second part which is surrounded around more of Gyvien... but I decided Yuar needed his own past explained a bit. ^^ He's still a mystery, but the Lantis part is revealed. ^^ Plus, you said this would be a long battle, so Gyvien will be revealed a bit next. ^^ yay!)

Many things were being revealed and starting to become clear. Right now Yuar and Lantis only seemed to focus on each other and no one else. It was so quiet that one could actually mistake this for a peaceful scene had it not been for the obvious things to show otherwise. There were four vampires and a dampiel standing on the battleground. Bodies or in some cases what was left of them were all over the place. Finally with Lantis and Myra being the exceptions we were all injured in some way. Even those that were not hurt were covered in the blood of their enemies or victims. This was a war between vampires and it was not a sight for the faint of heart. However right now it was just simply a tense standoff.

Very soon as it had all night long things were going to get worse.

Gvyien had looked at both me and Myra the whole time Yuar spoke with Lantis but didn't say a word. When they were finally done talking she just looked at us in disgust and said "So she's finally gone and done it hasn't she?" For a brief moment I had forgoten about that due to the fact I was busy listening in on the conversation Lantis had with Yuar. As a result I had asked Gvyien "What is it she's done?" Gvyien's tone took on a hint of anger as she spoke. "Don't play dumb with me Rudy. Her bloodstained lips? The smell of human blood on her? Any of that ringing a bell?" Now that I wasn't focused on the others the painful thoughts of what Lantis had made Myra do came back to me. I had a basic idea of what Gvyien must have been thinking. Here was her brother who devoted his life to hunting his own kind and risking himself to protect people that feared him. Now all of a sudden he was with someone who he had vowed to destroy. All of this was making me look real bad at the moment. My main concern was if Gvyien would even listen to what happened.

With a sigh I tried to explain. "It's not her fault Gyvien" I started to say in an attempt to try and patch all this up. What I wasn't expecting was for that to make me look worse in her eyes. "Oh I see now" she said with even more disgust than before. "You put her up to it didn't you?" Needless to say I was shocked at those last words. I couldn't believe what Gvyien was accusing me of. She knew me better than that didn't she? I tried to protest but just kept quiet as Gvyien threw up a hand to stop me as she started to yell. "Not a word! As far as I'm concerned I have no family! Don't you dare think for one moment that I forgot what you almost did to me back there. You said you were sorry? B*******! You didn't even follow me or attempt to do such a thing!" I was still trying to recover from the shock of it all. As much as I wanted to say something about our encounter in the alley I knew that it was more than likely a bad idea at the moment.

By this point Yuar had stepped in to try and help. Placing a hand on her shoulder he said in a comforting tone "I came after you Gyvien. Everything will be fine." Gvyien was still very upset and told him "I would be dead if you hadn't been there to save me from the mutants. Or from the voices. But I still don't know what to think of it all. It's just all f***** up." Those words explained how the two of them had been hurt. However the last part was confusing. Yuar was also wondering about that but neither of us had to ask for an explaination. "Rudy went to save Myra. The only reason he found me was because he went to save Myra. Because he went after Myra he forced you to go after me. Your sense of justice wouldn't let you leave me alone. So perhaps it's true. I was always ment to be alone." It became painfully clear at that point as I went over things in my mind. Gvyien hates me and wanted nothing to do with me from the moment we met. I really DO care about her but how the hell could I be in two places at once? That was why Yuar had gone after her. I told him I would protect Myra with my life and make sure she stayed alive. Thankfully we both kept our promises to keep each others sister alive. However if I knew how much Gvyien hated me I would have tracked her instead to prove otherwise. The whole time I was thinking about that Myra was just looking at me as if she knew what I was thinking. That was when I remembered the psychic powers that were starting to show. I knew that I'd have to figure out how to get them under control so that I wouldn't always be worrying her with my own problems.

As I looked at Gyvien I started to say "That's not right." However Myra had her own words for Gyvien as well. "That's not fair!" she said to my sister. She was about to say something else when Gyvien just laughed a tiny bit. "Of course it isn't. Nothing in this world is fair anymore." Myra looked very angry at her last comment and shouted "What the hell do you know about fair?! Do you think its fair for someone's world to come crashing down around them and for everything they thought to be true to be nothing more than lies? Is it fair that the person that turned my life upside down would kidnap the only person to care about me and then tell me he's dead?! Finally to top it all off how about being forced do the unthinkable! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE!" All me and Yuar could do was sit back and watch as it slowly turned into one of Myra and Gyvien's major arguements. By this point my sister was steaming as she got right in Myra's face. "Are you so sure? Just because I was born with no father and a mother who threw me out in the trash so I didn't know who I was or where I belonged in the world... I had no parents, I can't judge? Just because I was raised from the only person who showed compassion and then I thought he was killed as I was tortured in more sufferable ways than death itself I can't judge? I've never been given the CHANCE to love or care about anyone! Don't you dare tell me I have no right to judge what I believe is fair in this world!" All I did was shake my head and sigh as I looked back to where Lantis was. What I saw however would be enough to make my heart race with fear if I had been alive.

Or in this case what I didn't see.

To my shock and horror Lantis was nowhere to be found. Tightning my grip on my katana I got into a defensive stance and shouted "Hey guys how about we have less fighting among each other and pay a little more attention to what's important?! Notice something wrong with this picture?" It didn't take long for the others to figure out what kind of stupid mistake we made. We had taken our eyes off Lantis and now he was nowhere to be found. Feeling disgusted over the turn of events I asked everyone "Tyssed! How the hell could the four of us get this careless?" Yuar looked around and said "Well he couldn't have gotten far Rudy. Besides I highly doubt he'd run away. Everyone spread out and search the area." No one protested Yuar's idea. It didn't seem like it would be a mistake. However we all paid the price. Once I was a good distance away from the others I heard the sounds of a serious struggle. Turning around quickly all I could do was watch in horror as three vampires detained Myra and held her on the ground as another four pinned Yuar to the wall of the ship. My first instinct was to run and help but I soon found myself in an even worse spot as an invisible force struck me in the stomach hard. Soon I found myself disarmed and at the mercy of Lantis who had suddenly appeared and held my own katana to my neck. I knew just how sharp it was. If Lantis had wanted to slit my neck or take my head off then nothing would stop him. As for Lantis he just could not stop laughing as he spoke. "This all worked perfectly! Meet my personal bodyguards. You'll never find anyone more loyal than the group that stands before you. Some of these men and women have been with me for nearly one hundred years. And as an added bonus we share many of the same powers. That was why it was so easy to catch the three of you off guard!"

At first glance it seemed like a very hopeless situation. However there was one person who had not been grabbed. Gvyien had her gun drawn but look very unsure of what to do. Meanwhile as she looked around with nervous eyes Lantis took a moment to talk about the situation. With a chuckle he said "Three targets Gvyien. However there's only enough time for one shot. Judging from the way you two get along I'm expecting you to let Rudy's **** rot. Next on the plate is Yuar. But dear me there's four holding him back. You wouldn't be able to fire four bullets that fast. Plus I'm sure he'd be dead before the first even hit one of my bodyguards." As this all sunk in Gyvien turned to face us as Lantis continued. "This leaves the obvious choice. But we're faced with another problem. Your next move can put an end to all this Gvyien. However there's a good chance your bullet will also hit Rudy. Would you kill your own brother to take me out? A better question is wouldn't you miss me if I died?" It came as no surprise when Gyvien quickly pointed the gun at Lantis and pulled back the hammer. With a voice filled with anger she said "You can go to hell you rotten impotant f***!" Rather than anger Lantis it only amused him more. Speaking as if she never said anything he asked her "I don't doubt your marksmanship. Someone as skilled as you can actually kill a vampire with one shot. But this is a big choice we're talking about here. Will it be your brother's life or revenge? Drop your gun now and he lives. Fire it and you'll be called a hero. Just remember it'll be at the cost of Rudy's life if you do!" Gvyien just kept her cool along with a steady aim as Lantis taunted her. I for one didn't want to die. However I said many times over the course of the night that I'd be willing to do it if I knew we could put a stop to Lantis. Plus as far as I knew Gvyien had no problems with killing me. Not sure what was stopping her I shouted "What the hell are you waiting for?! Kill the son of a b**** and end this once and for all!" All I could do now was sit back and watch. Now only one person was able to decide how this would all end......

It's very important that no one jumps into this battle until Kalah has made her next post. What she has planned will greatly affect the RPG and someone joining in the battle now would throw things off big time.

[Bulbasaur4]

Okay guys... this post is a bit long (I think). I have a better version tho that I'll send you on MSN...


Gyvien...
***



The night had happened so fast… Gyvien just believed that she was overwhelmed. She was trained to become a hunter, she had done that her whole life. Ever since she was born, from the first minute of her breath she was doomed to be thrown into turmoil after turmoil. Never would she be given an easy choice, never would she be given anything easy. It was as if fate had been toying with her all along, and finally the icy cold fingers of fate had skillfully wrapped themselves around her life and squeezed it so that suffocation slowly began to take place.
Even a dampiel could only take so much…

Gyvien clutched her gun, pointing it directly at Lantis’s wryfully smirking face as he held Rudy in a tight, impossible-to-break hold… which looked painful and dramatic from Rudy’s expression. Myra had been knocked to the ground by three of Lantis’s minions, and they had currently disabled her by all three pinning her against the ground with her arms contorted into a submission hold which even the eldest of vampires would have had a tough time breaking. Yuar was also held back by the four others, but he was putting up a fight. Swinging his fists wildly and aiming kicks, he gave several painful, blood-smearing blows to two of the figures’ jaws, before finally the four, mostly male-vampires finally captured him with in a hold and began to repeatedly kick him in the gut to weaken his struggle. Yuar’s face was dotted with several specks of blood, as several cuts upon his chest were exposed as his fearful gaze looked at Gyvien.

She swallowed, holding her gun steady as she still held it at Lantis. Rudy’s blue hair was ruffled and swaying in the wind, and he looked tired and worn from the fights before hand as if it suddenly came to overwhelm him. Gyvien’s icy, blue-eyed stare at him was not easy for anyone to handle… she was still angry with this one who said he was her brother. Her light, blonde-like hair wavered in the wind, as she stood there, a cut cleanly along her neck and her appearance scuffled. Her gaze narrowed… as she had listened to Lantis’s words carefully and felt the fire beneath her burn.

She wanted nothing more than to kill him… kill him for all the pain she had to endure, for all the troubles he had caused to not only her- but to everyone.

She wanted to kill him for screwing with Yuar’s life…
She wanted to kill him for hurting Myra..
She wanted to kill him for killing many dampiel hunters over her life time in her association…
She wanted to kill him for messing with her own family…
She wanted to kill him for tampering and scarring her mind and body.
The b*st*rd had to die.

Now she had the chance… all she had to do was pull the trigger of her cool, metallic gun and it would be over. The shot would hit it’s mark- not even a vampire could survive the most accurate shoot to the head which would kill anyone in an instant. But she knew if she did that, Lantis would use his lightening-like moves to kill Rudy before he himself died. It would be a shot that would kill both of them…

Gyvien gazed at her brother long and hard… as silence settled in, and everything seemed to slow time. Rudy… he tried to make things right, but always ended up screwing it up. It perhaps wasn’t his fault… Rudy was too concerned with every thing,that he spread himself too thin. It angered Gyvien however, that her ‘supposively’ brother did not even think to help her. But then again… he never was there to help her to begin with. She never had a brother… so why did it matter now? She could have just as easily pretended that she had never met him… then it wouldn’t have mattered.

But she did meet Rudy… she had met him. It had changed her life- even if she didn’t want to believe it.

Ever since that night at the bar, when he had come with Myra… she had sensed there was some thing about him that would change her life. She knew that it probably wasn’t good… and perhaps she was right. She had saved his life as well, which was some thing she hoped she hadn’t regretted doing… and she still didn’t regret it. How could she? Gyvien was a hunter, but she wasn’t a cold-blooded murderer, or some one to let others die. Rudy and Gyvien were as different as night and day. Yet, they were connected by the same blood of their father… Rudy had cared for his father, where as Gyvien did not. Still however, they were connected. Gyvien could not deny the fact that they were brother and sister… even if she had not wanted to be.

But in truth, she cared. But times of darkness had hardened her heart into believing that no one on earth could ever be trusted again. Not even her family or friends… to her, everyone was just a mere ally that could easily change sides. It was some thing that would never change… along with the fact that she couldn’t express her love for anyone very well.

She had never been given the option of ever showing love… never been giving the chance.

It was that reason alone, no love, that destroyed her for all these years. It ate away at her… slowly, until she could never reverse it.

Now, she had been given the option. Kill Lantis and her brother, or let them both live.

“Gyvien… if you pull that trigger, you will be a murderer. Not only by killing me… but your own kyn. Are you saying his life is not important by contemplating what to do? I dare you to pull the trigger Gyvien… do you have the guts?”
Lantis was egging her on… as even Rudy shouted.
“Do it! Kill him!”

Stupid Rudy. Acting like a stupid, blunt-headed hero all the time. Lantis, if he died… no one would care. Pain and suffering would finally be ended… and all wrongs would be made right. But then, Rudy would die. Then Myra would be devastated and angry, and that would cause her to be even more irrational which would probably hurt Yuar. Yuar already had been hurt his whole life… although, Yuar was good at shielding his emotions. Gyvien doubted that the other two had even thought of Yuar… and it made her sad… or rather, made her pity Yuar. If she killed Rudy, she also would be no better than any murderer. Who could kill there own brother? Who could kill their kyn… despite all the differences, Gyvien could not kill her brother. He believed she didn’t care… but she did.

She couldn’t pull the trigger.

“Fine Lantis. I’ll set the gun down, but then you must let Rudy go.”
Lantis smirked- a very untrusting gesture.
“I agree- a vampire keeps his word. No harm will come to Rudy. I’ll even let him get into a fighting stance before I do finish him off.”

Gyvien knew that Lantis would keep his word… he had proven that with Yuar. Once Lantis would let Rudy go, then perhaps they’d all have another chance at killing Lantis. It wasn’t like this was the end…




“Gyvien…” Some one had whispered her name, but she was so focused upon Lantis she did not recognize who so softly whispered it. Slowly she bent down, until finally she let the gun fall from her fingers… slowly falling through the air, until a clatter of metal and dirt was heard in the empty air. The four figures had stopped beating on Yuar, and rather all five of them were watching along with Myra’s captors. Gyvien swallowed, as she stood back up and gazed at Lantis.
“There… now let Rudy go.”

She stated it flatly, as Lantis smirked. Then the whole world flung into motion…

Lantis grabbed Rudy’s arms and suddenly, with all his force, lifted the lighter vampire into the air and flung him several feet back. Rudy went hurling through the air, until with a sudden snap and crack, he hit the tree hard- but not so hard that it would disable Rudy. The tree however, erupted with such a huge force that splinters of wood flung through the air. Gyvien gave an angry shout… and Lantis then gazed to Gyvien… and for once, Gyvien did not cower. Nor did she shudder with fright or even lower her gaze…

“ Gyvien, you were blessed with the ability to fight. Ever since you were trained under Yuar I saw you as a threat… and you have become all I did not want you to. You even established the Dampiel Hunter Organization… which all of us blood-drinking vampires despise… I never thought after the night I left that small, fragile and pathetic blonde alone in the alleyway… that you would grow stronger instead of weaker like I had planned.”

Lantis shifted position, as Gyvien narrowed her eyes.
“But you have been trained to a fault. Yuar taught you mercy… you are a fool. Your brother does not care for you… no one ever has. No one ever will care for you Gyvien…”

Yuar jerked his head up as he suddenly gave a shout…
“Gyvien don’t listen to-“
Suddenly one of his four captors grabbed Yuar’s own gun weapon which he had dropped in the fight, and took the butt of it to smack Yuar on his head. The blow was hard, and enough to cause Yuar to cough up some blood as a cut upon his face easily was formed.

“ You are a fool…but I still hold my word. I did not harm Rudy. But he is not a problem..”

With that, Lantis suddenly and cleanly with fluid and lightening-like movements, he reached inside of his garment and revealed a small, clean gun. Aiming straight at Gyvien he spoke words of icy cold… as they lingered in the air and cut sharp like a knife to everyone.
“You were the problem.”

With that, the sound of a gun exploding through the air sheered through the night as the bullet inside whizzed by and instantly a splash of red specked the air. Yuar’s eyes widened, as suddenly rage grew with in him and he suddenly began to stir to life again. He practically clawed at his captors, as he fought them and gave several more blows to the four vampires and began to fight. He tore loose from their grip, but they blocked his movements towards the dampiel. He shouted…
“GYVIEN!!! GYVIEN!!”
Rudy meanwhile had also stirred to life, as his eyes were full of shock and he stood there… as if numb. He took a step forward, but one of Myra’s captors quickly came towards him and nailed Rudy in the gut- where he was still tender from Lantis’s blow. Myra also began to try to release herself from the grip…

Gyvien’s eyes widened suddenly, as she stood there, almost unable to comprehend. She could feel the burning sensation which filled her chest… as it grew into a numbing pain… but she still stood. She did not look at the wound… Glaring she spat at him…
“ You’re the fool Lantis…”

Lantis narrowed his eyes, as yet another bullet flew through the air, and more deep, red blood spattered into the air and this time the knife of pain stabbed at Gyvien’s shoulder. Gyvien staggered a bit, as she did not let her icy glare release from Lantis’s own eyes. She still stood… clenching her fists, but feeling the wet, warm liquid fill her clothing and escape her own body… but she still remained to stand.
“ … we’ll eventually beat you down. You are the pathetic –“
Another bullet rang into the air as the gun was fired, and Lantis’s eyes began to burn with fire. He held the gun at her, pointed at her… and his eyes were full of rage. Pain seered through Gyvien’s gut, as she staggered more, blood streaming down her bare legs and staining her skirt, as a puddle of blood began to form at her feet. The dripping noise of her own blood filled the air… as she staggered to stand, but did not fall. Her lengthy blonde hair was stained with blood at the tips as well, as it dangled and matted into her shoulder wound. Her eyes narrowed further… as she fought to breath.. blood beginning to form at the corners of her mouth.
“ – pathetic worthless fool. Everything you’ve done has never succeeded! You’ve always been a failure!” She struggled to say the last words, but a second wind gave her enough strength as the final bullet came through the air. Lantis had fired it… this time aiming at her knee cap. The aim was slightly below it in Lantis’s rage at her words, but it shattered her bone in her knee and instantly crippled her.

Gyvien struggled to stand, fighting not to fall to Lantis… but her own leg and the loss of blood could no longer support her. She staggered, gazing at Myra… Yuar… and finally Rudy. She then fell to the ground, landing backwards upon her back with a thump which seemed to slice the air even with Rudy, Myra and Yuar fighting to get at Lantis or to Gyvien. Lantis even seemed to pause… as he let a small snicker escape his throat. Gyvien layed upon the ground… her eyes wide, and moistening but she would not let herself cry. Blood began to gather in a pool around her body, as her chest rose and fall. She was struggling to breath, as a small trickle of blood streamed from the edge of her lips. Her hair was some how, still beautifully and lightly rippling in the soft wind which brushed against her cheek… as if to give her some comfort.

She felt herself leaving… but she heard the pitter patter of steps… but it was so hard for her to hang on. She could hear people shouting…
“Gyvien! Hang on! Hang on!”
“You’ll be okay Gyvien!”


‘No one ever will care for you Gyvien’… she could not hold on for long…

Rudy Summers
12:06 AM
------
All I could do was watch on in horror as one of the vampires held me back. With a shock and pained expression on my face all I could do was count the shots fired after the first one had failed to put Gyvien down. In the end four shots was what it took. In my head I was going over the other numbers. One year ago was when I lost my father and learned about my sister. It may have seemed like a long time but it actually was pretty recent. Two nights ago the search had come to an end. It was like a part of me that was lost had been recovered. I had found my family.

Sadly however in no more than a minute it was all taken away.

I couldn't take it anymore. Now I was really fighting the vampire that was holding me down. Finally I was able to break her hold and while she was still a bit stunned I grabbed her and shoved her towards the tree I was tossed into. The splintered wood had pierced her heart and put an end to her quickly. Wasting no time I grabbed her sword and ran towards Gyvien. It broke my heart seeing her like this. She was struggling to breath and was in a puddle of blood. She looked at me as if she didn't believe it really was me and said "Rudy....." I tried to keep her quiet. I didn't want to admit it but I knew she wasn't going to last very long. Taking off my shirt I tried to stop some of the bleeding. In the end it wouldn't have helped. Gyvien had already lost too much blood. However I didn't want her to die just yet. As the tears came to my eyes I just broke down. "Gvyien! I'm so sorry about all this. I know things were bad between us but the last thing I wanted was for you to die or get hurt. Please forgive me!" As I watched her she tried to say something. Leaning closer to her mouth I tried to listen to what it was. However the only sound was silence. Gvyien Summers was dead. Oddly enough I had stopped crying. However nothing could describe the pain and sadness I was now feeling. Soon however a new feeling rose up inside of me. It was something I had not felt in four years

Pure rage

Seeing Gyvien's gun near me I picked it up and quickly turned to Lantis. As I started to fire I shouted "Oui cuh uv y pedlr! E's kuehk du vilgehk gemm oui!" Within moments the clip was empty but what angered me more was the fact that Lantis still stood. His body soon turned to mist as the real Lantis appeared several feet away and laughed. Dropping the gun as I stood up I raised the sword I had taken and rushed Lantis. Before I could reach him however two of the vampires holding Yuar back had come after me. However nothing would stop me now. Easily dodging the first blow that came from a man on my left I slashed downward and cut his stomach wide open. Everyone watched in shock as his insides came pouring out. I watched too but rather than feel shocked I was proud. The bastard worked for Lantis and got what he deserved. Turning to face the vampire on my right I saw she wasn't ready and was still staring at the vampire that just died. Showing no mercy I quickly thrust my sword into her neck. As blood poured out of the wound I twisted it a bit before ripping upward. It would be next to impossible to tell who she was considering she only had half a face now. Looking down at the body I spit upon it. As I looked up I met Myra's shocked eyes. I knew she couldn't believe what she was seeing. I had never been this brutal in front of her before. However this time there would be no mercy for anyone who attacked us.

Turning away from her I focused my attention on Lantis. In my most serious voice I told him "Many people have died because of you Lantis. It ends tonight. I swear to god Gyvien will be your last victim!" I just stood there as he laughed at what I said. "God? This must be some kind of joke! God isn't going to help a vampire!" Without a word I rushed at Lantis. I could see the sudden fear in his eyes as I came towards him. Still armed with my own katana he tried to get into a defensive stance. However my sudden attack had caught him off guard. Lantis knew my fighting style well and had blocked low since I usually went for the body. What he didn't expect however was for me to go high. He was wide open as I aimed for his head. Had he not moved at the last minute he would have been dead. Even so I still managed to get a very good blow on him. Turning to face him I watched as he held a hand to the left side of his face in shock. His usually calm voice had a hint of rage as he said "No one has EVER touched my face!" As he pulled his hand away I saw the wound start to heal. When it stopped I just smirked at him and asked "Would I be right to assume that no one has left a scar either?" I could see the anger in his eyes as his hand once again reached for the left side of his face. My sword had cut into his cheek and left a scar that had to be at least an inch and a half long going from the corner of his mouth and towards his ear. If Lantis was afraid he hid it very well as he asked me "Who are you?" Raising my sword I prepared to charge at him again as I shouted.

"I am known to humans as the Blue Devil! However to you I will be the Grim Reaper!"

YUAR ORO

**




It was as if every thing was in slow motion.



It was as if some one had struck Yuar down so hard, that he was paralyzed for life- that he was almost near death.




It was as if some one had killed Yuar.



And yet, there he stood… frozen in time, staring, unbelieving, trying to grasp what had happened.



No. It didn’t happen.








Yes, it had. And It did.










Gyvien lyed upon the ground, her liquid, almost innocent eyes staring straight up into the dark, cloudy sky. A patch of clouds however, had spread apart like when the Red Sea had… and swirling like a whirlpool, it revealed a single star- gleaming and twinkling, as if holding a secret that only it knew. Gyvien could barely comprehend what was happening… every thing was blurry, unclear… every thing seemed to be magnified. Every breath she took, slow, painful and it seemed to deafen her ears. Every movement she made… it took so much effort, and with each thought, each glance, each breath- she grew more tired, and her body began to numb.


Then Rudy came to her side… she could see him, she saw him well. His light blue hair, a bit blood stained, gently blowing in front of his icy, frost-glazed eyes which were identical to her own. Yes, those were her father’s eyes. She didn’t know why or what made her know that… she simply knew. They were related, their eyes gave it all too clearly away. She tried to smile… but the pain was too immense for her. Rudy had spoken words to her… but she could barely hear or understand them. Her head was swirling around, block dots began to form in her vision. She couldn’t feel her lower legs… the knee cap which had been shattered into a million pieces was no longer painful- she couldn’t feel. Her finger tips burned. They burned so badly they felt as if the flesh was being seered off of them, until she couldn’t feel them anymore. Daggers… thousands of daggers began to dig into her lungs, twisting and jerking their sharpened blades many different ways into her lungs as if trying to chip away at the inside flesh. She could barely breath… she knew what was happening. She was loosing blood… she was dying.


No time. Gyvien simply had not enough time to say what she wanted to say… wanted to say to everyone. A hunter was never one for words either, and Gyvien was no exception. However, as her brother stood over her… tears flooding his eyes, she felt sad. She didn’t want him to cry. Opening her mouth slowly… as pain ripped inside of her and sent lightening-like fleshy tares up her spine, she tried to speak to him. If she said the whole sentence, it was barely an audible whisper that even a vampire could pick up. She spoke… the only words she could fathom to Rudy were his name.
“R-rudy… I-“


But that was all.





She couldn’t finish what she wanted to say, before her heart finally gave up. Before her lungs refused to breathe, and her body simply had enough. Gyvien had died.






“R-rudy. . . I love you, brother.”





That simple sentence which she had wanted to say, lingered in the air. Though her words did not come forth, or her mouth speak it- she still had said that she had loved her brother in her mind. Only that remainder of a hope, could possibly come forth that her brother had used any little powers which were coming forth to read her mind. He had not however… but her thoughts, still transmitted by her, still lingered.
There always was hope…


Yuar however, did not see it this exact way.


His eyes widened in horror, as he saw Gyvien fell. He fought… fought the four who held him back. He easily slid his hand into his boot and instantly felt the icy, smooth feel of his black-handed dagger. With one fluid-like motion he withdrew his dagger upwards. He did not think things through this time… he only let his instincts rush to him.




The first vampire came at him with a large, katana-like sword… his eyes blood shot as if he had his own furry. But it was nothing compared to Yuar’s burning desire. As the vampire rose his blade to hit Yuar, Yuar simply reached out his own deathly-strong hand and grabbed the handle of the sword. The inner palm let the sword’s outside blade cut into his palm slightly, as thick, warm blood streamed from Yuar’s hand. He ignored it however… and holding the blade with one hand, he simply took the other hand and with a strong, gut-jeering motion he cleanly sliced the Vampire’s torso into halves. The vampire did not have a chance to scream as blood spattered and spewed into the air, flecking Yuar’s hair with blood-red markings which he ignored.






Another vampire came at him… and dropping the blade, Yuar sliced the air yet again with the finely crafted weapon. Instantly the blade met the vampire’s head, and all too soon the head split apart and blood began to gurgle up from the brain, until it streamed over his face and stained his vision. It had killed him only a few seconds after… the blade had gotten to the brain, damaging it permantly.

Yuar was about to go after the other two vampires… but soon his raged-filled eyes saw that they instead had gone at Rudy- who soon disposed of them. Rudy was angry… he was ready to kill Lantis, Yuar sensed it in the air. Gyvien however… what about Gyvien?


Yuar’s emerald, piercing green-eyed gaze instantly turned to the ground where her beautiful, blood-stained body lay motionless. His eyes widened… the idea of death trying to fathom in his head, but he could not comprehend. No. She was a hunter… a dampiel… she was like his sister. She … she wasn’t.









Rushing over to her, not paying any heed to Rudy, Myra, Lantis or any other creatures which could have been near, Yuar ran to Gyvien. Her blonde hair rippled in the slight breeze which echoed off the ground and onto her finely crafted pale face. Her body had barely moved from the position when she fell, except her fingers were slightly curled into her palms… as if she were clenching her fist.

Tears began to form at the corner of Yuar’s eyes… as he drew nearer to her. Her chest did not rise or fall… her eyes were closed… - a strange thing, and no sign of life could have been detected from her. The aura of a dampiel still lingered about her body- flickering with sparks of blue and silver, telling others with it'’ odd shape that she had seen many dangers in her life time... and it was very faint now. Faint because...

”No…”





Yuar whispered, as finally he reached Gyvien and instantly collapsed to his knees and drew himself close to her. Tears grew in his eyes, as they were wide with shock and disbelief… no… she… she wasn’t dead.



She couldn’t be… not now… not so, soon. Withdrawing a huge breath, he quickly took his hands and gently brushed her hair out from her eyes, and touched her skin.
It was cold…. Deathly cold…

“NO!”

Yuar let loose a loud, almost commanding yell as he suddenly grabbed Gyvien around her tender shoulders and forced her limp, lifeless and blood-stained body off the ground. Her body had been lying in a pool of blood… and her dark, crimson top was wet although no stain could be detected. Her flawless skin, tainted with blood lines and a single scar upon her collar bone and along her neck. Swallowing… Yuar drew Gyvien to his chest and he softly hugged her.




“Gyvien… gyvien! Wake up little one! Wake up my… my –“


His body began to tremble as he felt her light body pressed against his own strong chest. Tears streamed down his eyes… and flooded his vision, as he buried his head into Gyvien’s soft, ribbon-like hair. He held her… clutched her tightly… not wanting it to be true… but he knew…
Gyvien was… was… dead…




It felt as though death itself had taken an icy dagger and sliced through Yuar’s own heart. His throat burned as he choked on his own breath… gasping for air as he, himself tried to breath. His throat seemed to swell and burn with a stinging pain however… as hot, seering tears streamed down his face. The most aweful, gut-wrenching feeling spliced through every fiber of his well-being as he held onto the dampiel known as Gyvien. His body trembled… and for the first time, Yuar felt weak.




He could not stop the tears... the pain he felt... the horrible, wretching sadness...





He could not help... but cry....






Yuar had promised himself… always vowed to protect those he cared for. He had watched over Myra, watched over Rudy, and he had lost and then re-found Gyvien again, and had always vowed to protect her as well. Even Liven, Father Farwell… heck, even Koger he was going to protect if they were upon the same side. Yet… despite every thing he had tried to do, he had failed. Failed to protect one of the dear people to him… one of the two females he had ever cared for. Gyvien. He had failed Gyvien miserably…


The words Vylianne had said to him echoed deeply in his mind. Her words… they had come true. Every thing she had said to him that night was true… she was right all along. Yuar was a failure. He… he was worthless, a failure, an incompetent fool in his own thoughts. There was no other explaination then that.. Now, he held Gyvien, dead and cold… in his arms…


Softly and slowly, Yuar took off his jacket and wrapped it around Gyvien’s body, as if trying to warm up her already cold body.

Holding her, Yuarsuddenly let loose another yell… a howl…

“NOOOOO!”

Anger filled Yuar… as his sharp gaze drew upwards from Gyvien, to Lantis. Lantis was in a heated battle with Rudy- both of them were whirling about the place faster then lightening itself. Rudy’s anger had led him to take it out on Lantis… even Myra was getting in upon the fight as well, and all three were whirling about with a wild furry. Yuar was angry too. He was angier than anyone could imagine… then anyone in his mind, could ever feel. His world had crashed down all aroun dhim like a tidal wave from the unforgiving sea. His whole life was a lie… he had failed, and now one of the ones he had cared for was dead. He had nothing left… it was all for nothing. Now… watching the smug and yet fearful Lantis fight two of the others he had vowed to protect… it angered Yuar even more. Deep with in the abyss of his own green-filled pupils, a fire burned and flickered. It roared…


“F*ck you Lantis! You’re nothing but a coward and a f*cking lying son of a b*tch! You b*st*rd! What have you DONE!!!!?”


With that, with all his rage Yuar reached down for his dagger which he had dropped on the ground. With that rage and furry… he threw it straight at Lantis.



Even though Rudy and Myra and even Lantis were whirling about in an angry rage, fighting madly although all of them heard Yuar’s motions. Even though they were nothing but a blur of action… Yuar’s gift showed. Even though no one may have noticed how impossible it was, to aim a dagger and throw it at three vampires fighting faster than light itself it seemed- Yuar’s gift made it possible. The dagger was flung seemingly effortlessly in Yuar’s rage, as it traveled gracefully through the air and sliced it clean. As the dagger drew to the fighters, a popping and slicing sensation filled the air along with a scream of pain. The dagger had hit it’s mark… the dagger piercing the right eye of Lantis, and going straight into his head.



The dagger had never been very long… short, but useful when at the hand of Yuar. Since it was merely thrusted through the air however- almost flicked throughthe air, it did not travel as deep into the head as Yuar had done to the previous vampire. It did hurt like hell however. The dagger had gone into Lantis’s eye at a downward angle, taking out his eye for good and probably protruding into the roof of his mouth. Blood streamed, poured from Lantis’s mouth like a river at the edge of his mouth and finally bubbling over his lower lip. Lantis looked at Yuar with his good left eye, blood spewing from between the edges of the dagger and guzzling over the right side of his face and down his neck. It was meant to be a death glare at Yuar… meant to try to install fear. Rudy and Myra had seen the whole thing… and for a moment, it was as if time stood still.



Lantis stared at Yuar with hate… trying to install fear, but Yuar felt nothing. Yuar was full of rage… and slicing Lantis’s eye in the heat of his battle did nothing to suffice Yuar’s burning, inner desire to kill everyone in sight for the death of Gyvien. Yuar narrowed his own, demonic-like green eyes… as he mouthed the words, “Draconin” to Lantis… which caused Lantis to try to shout some thing, but blood gurgled his words. Yuar held Gyvien’s body close to his- for Yuar refused to leave Gyvien, dead or not. He would not leave her. Lantis glared… and Yuar nodded, motioning at Lantis with one hand.
“ Bring it on b*tch.” He swore… as Rudy and Myra aimed to attack Lantis further more than before.

[Master Rudy]

Both Asi and Kalah should already have the general idea of what I've got planned next. The rest of you should just sit back and enjoy. I've got a long one coming up ^_~

Rudy Summers
12:10 AM
------
The battle was on.

Gyvien, my parents, Myra and Yuar's parents, Jack's family. They were only a small handful of the lives Lantis had destroyed. It had to end now. His reign of terror had gone on for far too long. Before this was over I hoped I could make him feel the pain and fear that the people he had killed felt. I wanted to see the bastard suffer. Now it seemed as if my sole purpose was to kill him.

As I tried to attack Lantis he blocked my attack and kicked my feet out from under me. He was going to try the end this quickly. However I would not allow him the pleasure of another victim. As I blocked the blow from his katana with my sword I reached behind me and pulled out another weapon. I still had the dagger I had taken from his ship earlier in the night. With a quick move I thrust it right into his knee and rolled out of the way of any counterattack that might have been coming. As I stood up and into a battle stance I had expected to see Lantis crippled and trying to stand on just one leg. Instead he just stood there and watched as if nothing had happened. "You must be joking" he said as he reached down and pulled the dagger out from his knee. Within a matter of seconds his wound was healed and showed no signs of ever being there. He tossed the dagger away and stared straight at me with a disgusted look on his face. Lantis just stood there mockingly as he spoke. "It will take more than that to slow me down Rudy. Not counting your lucky blow my body is perfect and intact. However you can't say the same about yourself now can you? Your injuries are slowing you down and your healing powers have been weakened. A pitiful human would have long been dead by now. You know that you can't win and yet you still fight? For what? To protect two royal outcasts that have betrayed us? Surrender now and I might spare you. Keep this up and I'll make sure you and Gyvien are reunited quickly."

The mention of Gyvien once again made me furious. I had nothing to say to Lantis. The only thing on my mind was continuing this battle as I rushed at him once more. Lantis was ready for this and disappeared. Now I was becoming too predictable. However I knew exactly what was coming. Without turning around I thrust my sword behind me and heard a choked gasp. Looking over my shoulder I saw that I had managed to get Lantis right in the stomach. As he dropped my katana he stumbled back a little bit. Spinning around I delivered a kick right to the hilt of the blade and drove it deeper into Lantis. All he could do now was cough up blood and fall right on his back. Picking up my own weapon again I had intended to finally end this once and for all. What I wasn't expecting however was to be caught off guard by Lantis. He may have been impaled on a sword but he quickly showed that it still would not be enough to slow him down. With amazing speed he pulled out a small knife that he had hidden in his clothes and slashed me across the chest. While I was stunned he grabbed my right arm and with a quick move stabbed my shoulder. This sudden attack had forced me to drop my katana. Before I could retrieve it and fight back he had kicked it away. All I could do was watch as he pulled the sword from his stomach and started to come towards me. The anger that had fueled me earlier had left. In it's place was panic and fear. I was unarmed and alone in a life or death battle with Lantis. All the son of a b**** did was smile as he came towards me. "You are a fool Rudy. You thought you could take me on alone didn't you? Your mother made the same mistake. The end result was her taking her last breathes as a human. She paid with her mortal life and now history repeats itself. Unlike last time however I will not have to put up with you ever again. It's been nice knowing you kid. Cyo rammu du ouin bynahdc yht ouin cecdan vun sa frah oui caa dras eh hell!"

There was nothing more I could do as Lantis raised his sword and prepared his final attack. But just before it came I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was Myra! Somehow she had gotten away from her captors and had tossed me her own katana. The timing was perfect. I had grabbed it out of the air and at the last possible moment blocked the blow that would have killed me. With a quick sidestep to the left I slashed Lantis's arm in the hopes of distracting him for a moment. This time it was a much deeper and hopefully more painful cut. Without wasting a second I threw Myra's katana back to her and quickly retriveved my own. Lantis took one look at the two of us who were on either side of him. This was no longer a one on one battle and he knew it. No one said a word as he faced Myra. Seeing this as my chance I charged right at him again. Lantis knew what I had planned and quickly blocked my oncoming blow. I had hoped he would do this so rather than give him a chance to fight back I kept up the attack. Without taking my eyes away from him I used my new powers to communicate with Myra. Now's your chance! Get him while he's busy with me! Myra got the message and wasted no time. As I battled with Lantis she rushed right towards us and slashed right as his back. There was no way in hell he saw it coming. The sneak attack made him drop his guard and gave me a chance to attack him as well. With an attack of my own I slashed him across his chest. As he was stunned both me and Myra got the same idea. Raising our katanas we prepared for the final attack. To our surprise however Lantis quickly showed he was once again faking his injuries. In the middle of our swings he had disappeared once more and caused us to hit each other instead. Both of us yelled out as we were struck by the other. Myra's attack had hit me in the leg and made me stumble for a moment while my own had slashed her across the stomach. Forgeting all about Lantis for a moment I said to Myra with great concern "My god! Are you ok Myra?!" Lucky for her it was not a very deep cut and had already healed leaving only the tear in her shirt as a reminder. With a small smile she simply said "I'll live."

A laugh in the distance caught our attention and drew our eyes to a dark figure. "The two of you are so predictable and foolish!" Lantis said while laughing. Now armed with two swords I knew he was starting to get very serious about all of this. I would have made a comment but Lantis gave me no time to do so. This time he was on the attack as he came running straight at me and Myra. As the battle once again got under way I soon learned that he must have been holding back the whole time. Here he was fighting two of us. One would expect myself and Myra to hold the advantage. However that was not the case. The two of us were having trouble just keeping up with the guy and we had each taken several minor injuries in the process. While they were all no big deal for Myra since she could heal them almost instantly it was another story for me. Due to my weakened healing powers all of the injuries were starting to take their toll on me. I didn't know how much longer I'd be able to keep on fighting like this. all of my injuries combined with the speed we were fighting at was starting to take a lot out of me. I was sure that to a normal human this would have seemed like nothing more than a blur.

Just as I was about ready to step out and call it quits something unexpected happened. From out of nowhere a dagger had come flying straight at Lantis and caught him in the eye. There would be no faking this one. As the blood poured out from both his mouth and where his right eye once was I turned around. The dagger was thrown by none other than Yuar. I wasn't sure if he had just gotten lucky or if he really was that damn good. But as I was about to learn it wasn't time to think we had won just yet. A shout of pure anger had drawn my attention back to Lantis. "That's it you son of a b****! I took Rudy's sister from him. NOW I'LL TAKE YOURS!!!!" I watched in horror as Lantis went right at Myra. Not even she would be able to block this. It was a blow that would have more than likely killed her. Knowing that there was only one thing I could do.

I pushed Myra out of the way and took the blow myself.

Never before had I felt this much pain. The sword had entered my stomach and gone out my back before being pulled out again. As I fell to my knees I looked down. My blood was starting to form a puddle. It appeared as if the scene from moments ago was repeating itself. The only thing I could do before falling was look at Myra. Struggling to breath I tried to tell her something but all I could say was "Myra....." Even so I was sure she knew what it would be. As I lay on the ground I heard the sounds of battle nearby. Opening my eyes the only thing I saw was Gyvien's body not too far from me. I was about to let go when without warning my powers picked up what must have been the last thing on her mind. Rudy.....I love you brother. Despite the pain I was in I managed to smile. However it didn't matter anymore. Lantis had kept part of his promise. He had finished off the Summers family. Feeling tears come to my eyes I spoke to Gyvien in a voice so low that only I could hear. "I'm so sorry things had to turn out like this. I'm sure Myra and Yuar can take it from here. But I am certain of one thing. Win or lose it doesn't change the fact that I failed."

Failed? Please tell me your not going to give up so easily Rudy. The last thing I want to see is my son lose all hope.

Those words were very unexpected and and came from a female voice that I had never heard before. But the thing which shocked me most was the fact that whoever it was called me their son. I must have being going crazy as I laid there and waited to die. Only one woman could call me her son. However she had been dead for 17 years. Even so there was only one thing I could say. "Mother?" For a moment the silence made me think I really was hearing things but it was soon confirmed. It's not your imaginenation Rudy. It really is me. Somehow my mother Jessica was speaking to me. I wasn't sure how it was possible but the explaination I was about to get seemed to make sense. Right now your hanging on by a mere thread and are very close to death. Because of this your powers are allowing me to speak with you. You have two choices now Rudy. You can finish what I failed to do as a human 20 years ago and live or let go and die. She made it sound so easy. Gasping for air I said "It may seem that simple but it really isn't. I don't have much left in me." Rather than get annoyed at my lack of confidence she remained calm and told me Don't doubt yourself and drag yourself down like this. I've been watching everything. It's possible that Myra or Yuar can finish this. However it's also possible that they too will die. You must do what you can to help them and end this now. Make sure my step daughter is the final victim that Lantis takes. I couldn't argue with my mother because I knew she was right. Taking a deep breath I tried to focus what little power I had on healing myself. While I would not be able to fully recover until I regained all my power it would be at least enough to keep me from bleeding to death.

Taking a moment to catch my breath I started to get up. In the distance Yuar, Myra and Lantis were fighting. With the guidance of my mother I knew what had to be done. Wasting no time I once again ran forward to fight. Myra and Yuar backed off and looked as if they had seen a ghost. Lantis looked like he was going to attack but he must have caught the surprised look that both Yuar and Myra shared. Turning around he too looked at if he was shocked. This time he was the one who couldn't react in time. With a yell of rage I started to attack like mad and showed no signs of slowing down. Before the first slash landed I started to yell at him. "This is for all the people who mattered to us! My mother! My father!! Myra's parents!!! Jack!!!! His family!!!!! And most importantly......" Drawing my blade back I prayed this would finally end it once and for all. "FOR GYVIEN!!!!!!" With as much strength as I had left in me I thrust my katana foward and into the chest of Lantis before ripping it out of him. Each slash had landed on various parts of his body so he wouldn't have time to fight back. In total I had attacked him nine times. Eight slashes for all the family and friends I had lost with the final attack being for Gyvien.

Lantis still wore the look of shock on his face as he finally fell. I knew he was not expecting me to come back. However he did not take a moment to finish the job. I remembered what he said earlier and knew he was right. History did repeat itself. Rather than make sure my mother was dead he just left her to die. Instead she became a vampire. He did the same exact thing and left me to die as well. As a result he paid for that with his life. Looking away from his body I met the eyes of Myra and Yuar before I fell as well. Unlike Lantis however I wasn't dying. The exaustion of the night had finally gotten to me but at least I would be able to live to see tommorow. The last thing I heard before blacking out was my mother's voice once more. Good job Rudy. I knew you could do it. The evil vampire known as Lantis had finally been defeated.

Or so I thought......

You guys didn't think I was going to let the battle end here did you? HA! Fat chance! The next part will be up to Asi and Kalah.

----Father Farwell----
Facing the Madman...
:::12:10AM:::
As Liven ran off with Skyler, I turned my gaze to Roland, as he reguarded me with an almost amused look on his twisted face. “Farwell Farwell, I always knew you were a fool....what can a little priest do against a creature of the undead? Smother me with the Word? Teach me right from wrong? Or will you KILL me with your goood deeeeeds..........? HehehehHEHhehehehee..!” Roland started to cackle as I came forward towards him. Not showing any signs of his words deterring me, he frowned and watched as I came to stand mere inches from him. “No Roland. I know now that ultimately nothing I say or do will save your soul, for I am just a child of God as you. Your fate lies in Gods hands now, I have asked him to forgive you and you should do so as well, and stop this madness. Power on Earth is fleeting but the power of Gods love will last forever. You still have a chance Roland.” As I spoke Rolands face grew into an expression of a trapped desperate man. He seemed to lose it almost more than he did before and started screaming at me before I had even finished. “Shut up! Your GOD cant save me and He cant save you! He is dead! and the only thing...the only thing that matters....” He started shaking and gazed at his hands as he trailed off, then whipped his fists back and struck me in the face.
My face was thrown aside with the force and for a moment I didnt move. Then with a calm, saddened gaze I turned my head slowly to look at him again. “I feel sorry for you..” Was all I said. This angered him even more as he grabbed the collar of my shirt and punched me in the stomach, sending me into a wall behind me. I sat in the rubble my body had made for a moment as Roland came up and stood in front of me, his shadow coming into the hole and casting me in darkness. The only thing I could see of him was his red eyes, slightly shining in reflection of the Blood-stained moon that was high in the sky. When Roland spoke again, it was a voice that was more serious and sane then I have ever heard him, except for how he was when he had first come to the Church of the Guiding Light. “What do you know, Farwell. What has your faith ever gotten you. LOOK AT YOURSELF! Could your GOD save you from becoming the thing you hate?! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOUR ANY BETTER THAN ME!!?” This mustve been a subject that had echoed deep inside Rolands twisted mind for years. The sense of faith and God as a benevolent protector mustve been drilled into his head as a young child, but rather than see it as a blessing he saw it as something threatening, as if it would smother him and suffocate. I stood up, clouds of dust swirling off my clothes as I reguarded Roland with a look of pity. “I dont think Im any better than anyone Roland. Even though youve sinned quite a bit God loves you just as much as me. God loves you.....”
My words were meant to make Roland see that he could turn his life around. I was sure that if he knew there was still a chance for him to be saved that he would make a change for the better, and maybe he would stop this madness and there would be no need for anymore killing.
I was wrong.
Something twitched in the madness of Rolands eyes, something dark and painful that echoed from far beyond what I knew about him. He looked up at the crimson moon, and then down at the ground, where the same moon reflected in a puddle in the street. Where his reflection would have been if he was still human. Seeing that made him wince slightly, and then, turning to me as if something was my fault, his face exploded with rage.
“Is this what it means to be a priest Farwell?! Spreading your dogma and telling absurd lies to try and give a sense of false hope?!” He yelled at me as he drew a daggar and began to slash violently and irrationally at me. I jumped out of the way of most of the attacks, and occasionally he would clip me on the arm or the shoulder, but the near misses were frustrating him even more. He continued in a crazed voice that sounded as if he were talking to himself more than me. “There is no hope. There is no ‘God’, and love of any kind is a LIE. IF GOD EXISTED HE WOULD NOT PUT ME THROUGH ALL THIS IN HIS NAME!! HE WOULD UNDERSTAND ME HE WOULD UNDERSTAND ME NOT WANTING TO FOLLOW HIS PATH HE WOULD UNDERSTAND.......” He stumbled in mid-slash and reeled a bit, clutching his hands violently to his head. His finger nails dug into his flesh as he began to scream out,
“STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!! I DONT WANNA BE A PRIEST MOMMY!! WHAT? NNNNNNOOOOO YOU CANT MAKE ME GO!!!!! I WONT! I....Who are you? No, I dont want to be a priest, THEY want me to........I dont? Well what can I do?........ Yes....”
He stood up straight and when his hands came away from his face I saw that he was smiling, and his eyes were unfocused, as if he were looking at something that wasnt there. “Your right....” He said. “I dont have to listen to them anymore, I can make them go away. And then their ‘God’ will die with them....”
He drew his sword and as his eyes focused on me, I felt a small thrill of fear break through my calm. His grin grew bigger and his eyes narrowed, pure evil shining in them. “I can make them ALL go away.”
And then the next thing I was aware of was a burning pain in my chest. I looked down at a blurring red tinted world at my chest and saw something embedded into it. Bringing a shaky hand up I touched it, Rolands sword. It was so far into my chest it was poking out of my back, and I tried to gasp at the shock of it only to have my lungs convulse and shudder, causing me to cough up blood. I barely heard Roland giggling as he twisted the sword deeper into me. “Where is your God now Farwell. Hes left you, everything you believed in were just empty promises. There is no hope.”
Gathering my last bit of strength, despite my failing eyesight I lifted my head and reguarded Roland with a serious look. Grabbing his hand that still held the hilt of his sword I said, “There is always hope.” And then, something from MY childhood resurfaced.

My eyesight erupted in a brilliant flash of white light, only it wasnt because of my injuries. The light was emenating from me, as it had done that day vampires killed my family at the church, as it had done the night I found and saved Liven. Now it was happening again, and for the final time. Roland reeled back from the light and fell to the ground, and as the light faded, so did I, the sword still embedded deep within me. I struggled to breathe as I lay there in the bloody streets of Wood Water, but I knew my final time had come. This time there would be no way to save me, I would die, a priest, a creature of the undead, my purpose in life fufilled. Suddenly a familiar voice rang out and reached me through my haze of pain.
“Farwell!”
The boy......Skyler.......so much pain have I caused him, so much anguish and hate he felt, all because I wished to help him. I wondered if there was any kindness in this world for such a tortured life, or would it end just as painful as it had been lived. I coughed a little, and clung to life, hoped to live just a little bit longer. Please God, take care of Your children...
Children ARE the hope....

Held captive
:::12:06AM:::
“Whats the matter princess, you dont look comfortable...” One of Lantis’s guards sneered down at me as I struggled in vain against a hold that wouldve been difficult for even the strongest vampires to break free from. I ignored these sneers, I knew that these were lackeys that didnt deserve the time it took to respond back. I knew I just had to get away, I could sense Rudys fear, as Lantis must have captured him and was threatening his life as I lay helpless. Then suddenly, the world seemed to shatter as a gunshot resounded through the death laden air.
Three more followed it, and though I couldnt see what was being shot, instantly I knew. G....Gyvien... A thought that was not my own cried that word out in pain. No...Lantis...he...he KILLED Gyvien?! Momentarily stunned, I lay unmoving, staring up at the night sky with wide, disbelieving eyes. Without realising it, tears spilled down my cheeks and moistened the ground my head was resting on. Oh Gyvien...we never got along very well...but I know....Deep down inside you really DID care about Rudy......and that gave us something in common after all. Im sorry.... I squeezed my eyes shut and sobbed quietly at what I knew to be true. Gyvien Summers...Rudys sister....was dead.
Suddenly the sorrow and regret I was feeling was replaced by something else. Something that didnt directly come from me, but it was too strong to ignore. The firey power of unbridled fury. It rose up within me like a furious cyclone and without thinking of anything I swept my arms free of my captors, brought my legs up and grabbed one of my captors by his neck. “Allow me to make myself comfortable.” I said through clenched teeth as I rolled and kicked him behind me. He flew against the wall of the ship, striking one of Yuars captors in the process, but I couldnt be bothered with that right then. The other two vampires moved to attack but I was too fast. In an instant my claw hand had formed and I had slashed them both at once in the face. They fell to the ground, clutching the bloody tattered skin.
Now that my captors had been dispatched, the fury I had felt from Rudy started to cool. But as I soon saw Rudys fury was just getting started. I watched in horror as he drove his katana into a vampires neck and ripped half her face off before she even knew what hit her. All I could think as I watched this was This is not the Rudy I know, this is a demon born from pain and hate...could this be what Rudy meant by the Blue Devil? Rudys eyes met mine and I saw no remorse for what hed done. But rather than hate Rudy for it, I hated Lantis even more. He killed Gyvien, and he drove Rudy to become this monstor. Lantis had to die.
~~~~
:::Five minutes of battle later:::
~~~~
We were dropping like flies.
First Gyvien, poor, tortured Gyvien, instead of getting the revenge she wanted, she was cut down, like a bird with broken wings falling down almost gracefully, and landing in a pool of her own blood. I did not know at first what had happened, the vampires holding me down had blocked my view, all I had heard was the gunshots......and Rudys pained thoughts...
No.....Gyvien....you cant be dead!! Dont die please! Oh god....shes gone....Lantis YOU BASTARD! YOU ****ING BASTARD!!!!!!!!
And then all organised thoughts were gone from his head as he attacked. I had managed to get away from my captors to aid him in the battle, but it wasnt enough. Yuar too managed to scar him...but he was still standing...

And then...Lantis came charging in. Insane with the the thought of someone injuring him so much, he vowed to destroy Yuars sister just as he took Rudys from him. It took only a moment to realise he meant me.
Lantis was so fast I could barely see him but somehow Rudy saw it coming. Pushing me out of the way, the sword found its mark through Rudys stomach, so far in that the tip came through his back. He made a heartwrenching gurgling noise as Lantis pulled it out again, saying “Are you in that big of a hurry to die Rudy? Dont you know its ladies first, and its not polite to go before Her Majesty....” Rudy didnt seem to hear Lantis though, and only looked at me with wide, pained eyes as he fell to his knees, blood rushing out and into the waiting, already bloody ground. “...Myra...” he gasped out, and in my mind I caught an emotion, a sense of Im sorry and I love you all in one. Then there was nothing as he fell in a crumpled heap at my feet. I screamed “Rudy!” but there was no answer. He was either unconsious...or dead..
NO. He wasnt dead, last time you thought he was dead he wasnt. Hes not dead now. Dammit.
But my thoughts were cut off by the sound of Lantis laughing. “These Summers, just how much does it take to kill them? Oh, well I guess we just found out didnt we?” Lantis laughed again, slinging his sword, sending Rudys blood splattering across his still form. Still shocked and horrified, I turned to Lantis, a snarl growing on my face. The fact that he could cause so much pain and yet be so happy about it was eating me up inside. But he wasnt done yet. “Well, now that the Summers are dead, why dont we see how long the Link family can last? What do you think Princess, can you last longer than your little pet?Yes, thisll be a fun little game, dont you think? ‘Who can last the longest against the most powerful vampire on Earth’..Splendid...” His eyes narrowed as his face twisted into a sneer. That was the last straw.
As if on cue, Yuar and I attacked at once, and the three of us soon looked to human eyes like a vampiric tornado. With my katana in one hand and my other forming the claw, I attacked more ferociously than I ever had before, because this time it wasnt just vengance motivating me to kill Lantis. It wasnt only because he killed my family, because he killed Gyvien, or even because he manipulated me to cause suffering to others. I wanted Lantis dead because I was tired of life like this.
All the pain and hate I had felt because of him had taken its toll over these two nights, and seeing Rudy fall motionless had been my breaking point. I no longer cared if I lived or died. But I wasnt going to die without at least taking that bastard with me.
So I fought with everything I had, and more. I poured every ounce of strength I possessed into each blow, not caring what Lantis did to me so long as my blows hit their mark. Yuar fought with me, fast and precise, cutting deep at Lantis and making him work hard at defending himself. But for every blow we landed, it still wasnt enough.....
I was about to just say the hell with it all and go for an attack which could possibly end it once and for all but would also leave me open for a killing blow by Lantis, when a shine of blue out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. Frozen in place by disbelief, I watched as Rudy came in and attacked Lantis with incredible speed, hitting him nine times in a matter of seconds, each blow dedicated to the memory of those who had been killed by the monstor before us. And when the attack was over, Lantis, the monstor who ruined peoples lives over many generations, who has fatally touched the lives of both Rudy and myself, the self proclaimed strongest vampire on Earth, fell to the ground and lay there, motionless.
After seeing Lantis fall, I turned my shocked gaze to Rudy. I had thought he was dead for real this time, it looked as if all of his injuries plus Lantis’s near fatal blow was something he couldnt come back from. But there he was, alive, if not exactly well. As he met my eyes I smiled, a gentle smile of pride in his will to live. As if his body realised the danger was past, Rudy began to go unconsious, his bodys attempt to force him to get some healing rest. Seeing him begin to fall I rushed over and caught him, gently lowering him to the ground. Though he was unconsious, his face wore a slight smile, and as I brushed his hair out of his face I smiled too. You did it Rudy.....Lantis is dead. We can finally rest.

Hearing a slight groan, I soon found that my thoughts were premature. Laying Rudys head down gently I stood up, and walked to where Yuar was studying the body of Lantis with narrowed eyes. “The bastard doesnt know when to die does he?” he mused. A sick feeling of hatred again rose up within me. I knew that there would never be any peace for our family as long as he was alive. Rudy drove himself to the brink of death to kill Lantis and here he was, still clinging to his hate filled life, a worthless life that only existed to cause others pain. The sight of him made me sick. But as he started talking my disgust for him only grew.
“Please Myra....my Princess...please have mercy on me. Let me live, for surely you are a better person than I had been.” I just stared at him, my eyes narrowed slits, and he continued. “Its best to forgive past wrongs, as Im sure Rudy would agree with me. He wouldnt want to see a helpless person killed, now would he? Not his style Im afraid. And right now I am injured and helpless, and even I never killed someone when they were down.” Lantis smiled a pathetic smile that was supposed to make me feel sorry for him, and he reached his hand up and bowed his head. “I ask for your mercy and forgiveness Princess..”
Hate filled my soul as I gazed at Lantis. This was the creature that killed my parents. This was the monstor that lied to me, that ripped me from the ones I loved, that...that killed Gyvien! And he thought I would have mercy on him?!
“No.” Lantis looked up, a hint of fear shining in his blue eyes. “N...No?” he stuttered, not believing his scam wasnt working. I walked up to him, planting my foot hard in his stomach. “Mercy time is over.” Still trying to weedle his way out of death, he frantically appealed to my ‘good side’. “If you kill me, ME, injured and beaten on the ground, youll be no better than what you hate! I have already been defeated! I surrendered! Kill me now and what does that make you?! A monstor, JUST LIKE ME!” He grinned defiantly, a hateful knowing look in his eyes. My eyes widened as I heard that but they narrowed just as quickly. “F*ck being a good person. F*ck it all Lantis! Its about time for a heartless monstor like you to get exactly what you deserve...” Quicker than I could see I plunged my hand into his chest and ripped out his heart. Clutching the heart, I let my hand morph into the claw slowly, ripping the fleshy tissue to pieces in front of Lantis’s horrified eyes before tossing it at him. My narrow, hate-filled eyes reguarded him one last time before walking away. “Now you really ARE heartless...”
Slowly I made my way back over to where Rudy lay, resting on the ground. Morphing my hand back I looked at it, at the blood of humans, vampires, and the creature that had been known as Lantis. Kneeling beside Rudy, I rested his head on my lap, and cried.
I knew nothing, not even my tears of regret, could ever wash these hands completely clean again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok!!! ^-^ Now Bulbie said she wanted to do something cool, so go for it ^-^ The end of the RPG is nigh, once Bulbie does what shes going to, and the Farwell/Roland/Skyler/Liven fight is taken care of, we ll start wrapping things up, more instructions on this to come! ^-~

[Master Rudy]

OOC-It looks like the end is near on this. While the battle may be over I think I've still got one or two good posts left for this RPG. Just one question for Asi. Will the other group be fighting alone or will Myra, Yuar and Rudy begin making their way back and see a chance to help?

EDIT-Well now that I can do so I wonder if deleting/closing this RPG so close to the end would make someone very angry?
lol j/k Asi ^_~

[Shaka]

Roland---------insane? naw!!

"Alright now Roland my baby, time to get ready!" a woman spoke, first at a distance. I had stopped and Farwell started to turn into a hazy mass of darkness on the street. [I] "b..but mommy i dont wanna.........g....." the woman came over to me and fixed my coller and cleaned my face by a piece of cloth. "Now now hunny! this is a special day for you and your Father! Arent you excited Roland?" She asked. "No! No i dont wanna be a priest!! You cant make me mother!!!!" I yelled at the lady in the dress. She looked down at me and sighed. "Roland please, do it for me?" she pleaded. I clenched my tiny childish hands and bit my lip. Looking at the carpetted floor i became very angry as a man arrived. "All ready for his big day?" He asked in a happy-go-lucky tone. "No!!! Stop it!!!! STOP IT...STOP IT....JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" I began to sob slightly. "I DONT WANNA BE A PRIEST! YOU CANT MAKE ME!!!!!!" I screamed at the two. Both sighing they left me alone,walking out my room followed by a little girl just smaller than me.
As i sat on my bed i began to think a little to myself. *They cant make me a priest! I dont want to!* As i thought i heard a whisper,~Then dont do it roland~ it seemed to echo in my head a bit. "Huh? who said that? whos there." I asked aloud clasping my hand on my cross my mother gave to me for the nightly service. ~Then why dont you............roland?~ echoing............"What?......"
~Hmmm! Then why dont you roland.....kill them .............there the ones making you......if you dont want to then........~ The echoing grew in my head.....louder and louder. ~You have a sword....you know the one your father gave you.....? heh yes Roland it will be easy....tonight then? yes? YES!~ "YES...."
Darkness....The rooms were dark and the soft sounds of sleep filled the house. The floor boards creaking as my feet stepped softly on them. Sword in my white gloved hands, i flashed on the light of the little girls room. I ran up to the bed as she awoke from a dream filled slumber, taking my sword i cut the neck. Warm blood splattered in my eyes, wiping them with my gloved becamed stained. Hearing the cut off scream of the girl, the hall way light turned on. Looking up i grinned towards the man,"And as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i shall fear no evil!" I ran towards the startled man and cut stomach and as he fell i sliced the neck letting the blood splash to the white floor, staining it all. I looked towards the ladys room only to see her clasping her cross and crying...praying. "Dear mother....i ..i wouldnt have done all this.." i swept my hand behind me showing the death of my father and my sister. "If...if you didnt drag me into all this mess with your church......" I said in disgust. She was leaning on her door, then slid down to the floor. "Well mother... as i heard....Dust to dust....Amen....." I closed my eyes. "See you in Hell!" I yelled as i swung my sword hitting the light out as it came down.
There was a shrill bloody scream rang in my young ears.
~Hazy~
I heald my head, "STOP!!!! Help me?! Help! No!!!!! Mother...I..father...You damn people!!!!! No! I love them?......" I rambled uncontrolably. Farwell watched me with sadness in his half sead eyes. I managed to focus on him, "YOU FU*KING PRIEST!!!!!" I weakly stumbled toward him but fell to my knees, clasping my head once more i yelled in an almost childish voice, "Please stop talking to me....My HEAD!!! MOTHER make it stop!!! P...PLEASE!!!" I felt tears slide down my face and drop off my chin. Looking up at Farwell i spat at him and threw my sword at him. Almost hitting him in the leg. "Why.....Why Farwell? Why do you believe? Huh? Tell me you damn preacher! Preach to me why you waste your life away in that church??? Come now i wish to know...." I cryed angerly. Farwell looked down sadly,"I dont think you really want to hear Roland...Even if i tell you, you wont list..." Before Farwell could finish i started to rise up and run at him. As i drew nearer i grabbed the sword that i had thrown at his feet. I shoved the knife straight through him, blood soaking my priest wear i twisted the knife deeper. I grinned in Farwells face and taunted," So Grand priest...wheres you God now? Oh i dont see him helping you! Do you?" i asked laughing. Grabbing my hand Farwell looked up at me and yelled. A bright flash of pure light flooded the street, i let go of the sword and shielded my eyes. i fell to the ground in a heap still holding my eyes, i curled up i heard Farwell fall as well, the light disappeared slowly. There was darkness once again....

Yay! I LOOOOOVE this RPG ! *hugs Rudy, Asi and everyone* I'm so glad I get to be in this RPG! *everyone sweatdrops, thinking she's too into RPG stuff*



YUAR ORO




Yuar’s heart was pounding out of his mind… his normally calm, expressionless green eyes now were like his sisters. It was a startling change… no longer were Yuar’s eyes green, but actually now they were a glowing, eerie crimson-red, full of hatred and murderous thoughts. Lantis had egged them on, and when he made the comment towards the Link family… both Myra and Yuar had gone into a rage. The fight was long and tedious, as much as Lantis had been trained to fight- he was more of a coward.

His movements to strike a blow to Yuar were always blocked or glanced off, but Yuar could only managed to skin his surface- Lantis was good at avoiding attacks. Myra too was having this problem. It was rather pleasing to some extent for Yuar however, to see his dagger embedded into his right eye… blood dripping out like a swollen river overflowing. Lantis could not take the dagger out, for if he did… then he would bleed twice as much, and it would be the end of him. Yuar was beginning to wonder how long this ongoing slaying would go… Yuar had a high extent of endurance… but with Lantis being rather psychotic and out of control, Yuar knew that anything could happen. But the last thing that Yuar would let happen, was he dying or Myra dying. Rudy…

Rudy… he was almost dead. Yuar did not know if Myra’s senses were as keen as he was, but he could sense Rudy was not fully dead. He was almost dead however… barely holding on, for his vampiric aura was dwindling and almost extinguished.
Don’t die on us Rudy… at least, you must stay for my sister. You are the only thing she truly trusts or wants.
Yuar thought, his eyes frowning in themselves… but Yuar could not think of his sister’s words. He had to kill Lantis.

Everyone was tiring, but then it seemed like a pure stroke of luck or perhaps, a bit of a miracle happened. Rudy… the young and impressionable Rudy, rose to his feet and with a strike of lightening he had delivered a crippling blow to Lantis. It had happened so fast… and Myra and Yuar could only stop and watch, as a sword cleanly struck Lantis in the abdomen, and then was twisted. Lantis too seemed in shock, his face pale before… was now paler. Rudy took a leap back, and just when you wanted to hear Rudy say some thing courageous… he fell, exhausted. Lantis fell at that moment too, but he was not simply tired… he was going to die. Yuar felt it then… he knew Lantis would now die.

Rudy’s aura was weak, but strangely this time it was not from death… but simply from being tired or over-worked. It seemed remarkable, and it was then Yuar knew what Rudy’s true strength was. Yuar understood that Rudy had some thing that vampires rarely ever had- that was unfathomable love. Rudy had a soul, if you could say that about a vampire, that would not deter from his loved ones… or loved one. It was that which fueled Rudy to deliver such a blow to Lantis, and it was that which had always kept Rudy alive.

If only Gyvien would have discovered such a source of power…

Myra and Yuar stood there… seeing three bodies upon the ground. Rudy, simply tired and his vampiric body ordering him to gain at least some rest to heal his wounds and mind. Lantis… who was almost dead.. and Gyvien, who was indeed, dead.
Myra turned around and gazed at Lantis, as Yuar also turned and stood behind Myra.

It was ironic, and rather eerie that both brother and sister stood there, their eyes matching in color. Yuar did not know his eyes were still glowing a magnificent, eerie crimson-red… but it seemed rather haunting that it matched Myra’s. If anyone was there to see it, or if Myra was looking, they might have wondered why Yuar’s eyes had changed… and what it meant.

Only one vampire would have known, if she were there. For Yuar’s eyes had done this once before… and it was a disaster.

Lantis was upon the ground however, his eyes glazed and wild as blood poured from his wounds. Yuar’s gaze was pure hatred, as he secretly wished Lantis would have received more pain… more torture- but it seemed his sister had the same in mind. Yuar would have gone up to help her, gone up to aid in hurting Lantis… but back in his mind, a voice told him to let Myra do it upon her own. She was with this monster long enough, she needed to do this to overcome all her nightmares.

Besides, Yuar was still living in his.

He watched motionless, like a statue and Lantis begged for his life. He clenched his fists slightly… wishing his dagger would have gone deeper and taken out his entire face. As Lantis begged for his life, tried to use his snake-like tongue to wield Myra into letting him live… Yuar wanted to rip out his throat with his bare hands, and chop out his tongue. Lantis’s words were always poison… it was his words which had caused everyone to believe lies- such as to cause Yuar to lose his life with his family, and words to deceive Myra and cause her to lose her family too. Instead, Myra simply placed her foot upon his chest and pressed hard… Lantis looked as if he was in real pain, and Myra then did an act which some how reeked Déjà vu all over. She ripped out his heart… and stated now that he was truly heartless.

Myra then threw the heart to the ground, and wiped the blood off her hand as if in a symbolic guesture. She then turned around and went straight to Rudy… bending down to him and placing her hands around his face, a tear streaming down her face. It was over… finally, it was over.


Yuar still remained standing, gazing down at Lantis. His face was full of his unreadable expression again… as he simply gazed at Lantis’s bloody, mutilated body. Shaking his head, as Yuar’s auburn hair rippled and waved with each flexing movement, he with drew a shaky breath. He then spoke, speaking to Lantis… his voice was quiet, but yet it seemed to spread like a whisper upon the entire area… as Myra silently knelt beside Rudy.
“ Lantis… you did not receive half of what you deserved. It’s over now though, finally no one has to hear your cursed tongue anymore. No one has to see your deathly face, no one has to fight you any longer… your nightmares have ended. No one will carry on anything you started. No one will remorse your death, and no one will care. You are nothing, and will always be nothing but a lie.”

Although Yuar did not really pick up upon it, nor did he really think twice about it, a movement was in the air. A heavy aura, a very powerful yet heavy aura flew above the battlefield through the air… a shadow would have cast gently upon the ground, if shadows had not hidden this one. It had been there the whole time… and now it left with the death of Lantis. No one could fathom what the presence was if they had sensed it… the only thing that was haunting about it, was that it was nearly identical to the ‘feel’ of the aura of Lantis.

Yuar with drew a breath, and bent down over Lantis’s body. Grabbing the black handle of his dagger, he slowly pulled it out of the head of Lantis with out much effort. Standing back up, Yuar gazed at the silver blade… it was full of crimson blood, of Lantis blood. Shaking his head slightly, Yuar quickly took a few steps away from Lantis- turning his back to his old mentor, and wiped off the blade with the fresh grass. When the blade was clean, Yuar turned to gaze at Myra and Rudy.

It was obvious they had exchanged a few words… for Rudy was awake, and they had an aura about the two of the. Yuar would have smiled… he would have, if his heart had not gone to ice and shattered. There auras… they seemed to be intertwined together, and Yuar knew that Myra would no longer need Yuar. Rudy, he was her new guardian.
Yuar turned away from them with no words, letting them to themselves… as he gazed at the body of Gyvien.

The pain was horrible…the wave of it took a relapse, and crushed Yuar. Yuar dropped his dagger, and slowly took a few steps towards her lifeless body. He did not understand how any powers above could let her live such a horrible life, to die just has horribly. Yuar wondered why Gyvien’s life seemed to be in vain…
“Why Gyvien…” Yuar whispered softly, as he simply knelt beside her, and gazed at her bloody, yet still beautiful body.

Yuar had never loved Gyvien the way Rudy loved Myra. It wasn’t that type of love… Yuar had lost his sister twice- to Lantis, and then when he had failed to track Rudy. When Yuar could not be with Myra… and he found Gyvien, it was as if he was trying to fulfill his duties of being a brother to Gyvien. Gyvien had realized it as well, and although neither of them had talked about it… they both knew that they loved each other. Yuar loved Gyvien like a sister, as Gyvien loved Yuar like a brother. It never even crossed their minds of their love being romantic- because their love was deeper then that. It was almost a parental love… and to Yuar, he had two sisters. To Gyvien, she had two brothers.

Now Yuar had lost her… just like his other sister.

A tear streamed down Yuar’s face… just a single drop. Yuar softly cursed himself.
“ I can’t cry…” He simply stated to himself, as he brought his hand to his cheek and quickly removed the tear. His eyes still were a crimson red… as they gazed in disbelief at Gyvien.

“Yuar?”

The time that had gone by while Yuar was sitting motionless by Gyvien, he did not know. At first he did not even move his head, his eyes seemed to be ever transfixed at either Gyvien or the ground… but finally, after another voice spoke his name, he slowly turned his head. Gazing there, Myra and Rudy were gazing at him. Myra seemed to be helping Rudy stand. Both were bloodied and looked they had been to hell and back, and then some. Yuar probably looked the same way… but he could not see what his figure looked like to others.

“Yuar… the… th-the sun will rise soon.” Myra stated, as if she was almost afraid to say this to Yuar. Yuar gazed at the ground… he knew what the sentence meant. The sun would turn them all to a pile of ash if they stood here much longer. They all could sense the sun would be rising soon… and chances were, that they really didn’t want to spend the night on a ship, which used to belong to Lantis. Yuar turned to look at Gyvien…

“I can’t leave her.”
He spoke, to them… but almost to himself as well. He knew he had to go, but he didn’t just want to leave her here… he knew he could carry her body- but for some reason, it didn’t seem right to tamper with her body.
“…I-I…”
Tears filled Yuar’s face as he gazed at her… his hands were shaking, as inside his mind seemed to be burning. Half of him told him to leave her… the other half said to stay. Yuar struggled with himself… he was losing his composure he knew, and he was ashamed to be this way. He couldn’t help it though… he didn’t understand why he was … was so affected this way. It never had happened this badly before… he was so used to being calm, full of composure.
“Yuar-“
“I can’t do it!” Myra had tried to say some thing, but Yuar interrupted her. Squeezing his eyes slightly, another tear fell down his face as he turned to face them… the feeling, the very feeling that her body was behind him stabbed at him as well. Swallowing, Yuar clenched his fists again… he felt like a child, who did not know how to express himself to show his displeasure.
“She’s gone… but…” Yuar sighed, still shaking slightly, while gazing up at Myra and Rudy’s faces. For the first time in his life, he couldn’t read what they were thinking…
“ … I will never come to believe it. She wasn’t meant to die!!”
Yuar was shouting, and he didn’t know why- everyone could hear him quite well, and here he was shouting.

You fool, you are acting like a child. Get a hold of yourself… why are you acting so foolish?! She’s gone! Move on!

A voice spoke to him in his mind, and Yuar slowly turned to gaze one long last look at Gyvien.
“I failed her… its all my fault. I failed… again.”
He spoke, as he shook his head and finally turned to face Myra and Rudy again. Taking a few staggering steps towards them, he slowly bent down and picked up his dagger that he had dropped upon the ground. Gazing at the dagger… he shook his head. He remembered when he had given Gyvien a dagger just like his… she was just a little dampiel girl, and the dagger was about the size of her forearm. He told her to keep it safe… for the dagger he had given her, was the twin dagger to his own.

“The Night” and “The Day”- that was what they were truly called by the Ancient Vampires who had wield them. Wiccan magick had been carved into the metal, which had been used to make both of them. There were many legends about each dagger… and Yuar had been given both of them long ago. It was said even, that if both daggers were together and used in harmony, they could bring about unbelievable powers.

It didn’t matter anymore… Yuar had the dagger, “The Night”, and he was not about to remove a weapon from a fallen warrior… especially Gyvien.

Reaching Myra and Rudy, Yuar gazed at them and without saying a word, he gazed at the ground… he wished the pain he felt would disappear.

Gyvien…
Looking at Rudy, the name attacked him and hurt him deeply.
Gyvien…
Looking at Myra, it attacked him again…
Gyvien- everything, he still couldn’t shake the thought of her body being dead, he couldn’t stop the thought of ‘what if…’

“Gyvien… I love you.” Yuar softly whispered, closing his eyes painfully.
“Let’s g-“

Just as Yuar was about to leave- leave everything this night had done to him, Rudy and Myra’s eyes grew huge.
“What-“ Rudy weakly gasped.

Yuar grasped his dagger at his side and didn’t bother looking at where Rudy and Myra were gazing. HE didn’t want to see Gyvien anymore… he couldn’t take the pain. He kept walking past them…
“Yuar! Look!”
Rudy called out, but Yuar shook his head.
“I don’t want to be remin-“
“Look!”
“No. I will-“
“For God’s sake Yuar, if you won’t look then just gaze at your dagger!” Myra finally called out, and Yuar stopped shortly.

His dagger?

Slowly he brought his right hand up, and his eyes widened. The dagger… it was, glowing?! The dagger seemed to pulsate and hum with life, as a bright, almost eerie shade of purple swirled in and around the dagger. It almost looked as if the dagger was on fire- for it had an aura of purple that looked like the hungry flames of a fire- licking at the air wildly as if having tentacles. Yuar was dumbfounded… and the dagger seemed to pull backwards, against Yuar.

Yuar let go of the dagger, and for a second he was utterly shocked. The dagger hovered in midair… until suddenly it flew past him, behind him in the direction of Myra and Rudy. Swallowing hard… Yuar turned around, and this time he saw why they had wanted him to look.

Gyvien’s body was motionless, but next to her was the other twin dagger, glowing the same way his dagger had except it was a illuminating a color of light, innocent-traced blue. She had kept the dagger all this time by her side….

Both daggers now hovered in midair… next to each other, as if they had minds of their own and were discussing some thing. They swirled around each other slowly.. and while doing that, they moved so that they were over Gyvien’s head. After a brief period, as flecks and almost snowflake-like bits of color flew from the dagger’s own aura, the daggers then flew to Rudy and Myra. There, they hovered above them… and then the daggers flew to Yuar. Instead of hovering over his head however, both daggers swirled around his head at eye level… as if…trying to read his thoughts.

Yuar was paralyzed as he stood frozen, Myra and Rudy saying some thing to him but Yuar could not hear their words. Then the daggers flew away from Yuar again… back to Gyvien. But this time, they did not return to Yuar.

Instead, the daggers began to swirl faster and faster above Gyvien’s motionless body, until they were nothing but a blur together- an intermixture of purple and blue, a mixture of night and day. The daggers were swirling about so swiftly they almost seemed to melt into one dagger… as the colors they had swirled around them seemed to grow like a tornado and it consumed Gyvien’s body. A slight wind began to form as leaves rose off the ground and everyone’s hair swayed in the wind. Gyvien’s own hair swirled around her face… as the colors grew brighter and brighter- piercing the night like a beacon in the darkness.

Then as swiftly as it happened, it stopped. The colors slowly faded so only sparkles of them remained, and the daggers no longer were there. Instead, one dagger remained- only, it was a large sword. The blade was twice as big and nearly five times longer, with the handle no longer being black… but it was like a clear jewel, inside of it marble-like patters of purple and blue. Upon the blade was the symbol of the moon and the sun… with four stars in the middle. The blade then swiftly flew to Yuar and then dropped at his feet. Just as Yuar was about to pick it up… suddenly movement caught his eye.

Gyvien… ?

A groan was heard, as slowly her head turned, and she slowly brought a shaky hand to her face and brushed a strand of loose hair away from her face. Yuar’s eyes widened…
“GYVIEN?! Gyvien!”
Rudy suddenly burst out, as Myra and him both went to Gyvien’s side although Rudy needed some aid… he some how found strength to return to his sister.

Yuar remained still… standing and gazing in disbelief. The daggers… they… how… how did they do this?


… and the blades of the daggers, “Night” and “Day” were formed from the same blade of the ancient sword known as, “Time” and by the hands of four powerful and ancient vampires. They were separated, but since each held the same magick and the same soul was bound to both… it was proclaimed that one day, they would reunite when they once again were used in harmony. When and only when they were used in harmony and four pure souls were present and tightly bound to symbolize the bind between the two dagger’s blades, would they be reunited. Once they have been reunited, the four souls would be strengthened and a new day will dawn of a new era….

A voice suddenly spoke those words… her voice haunting, yet soothing all the same and in a way- strangely comforting. Out of the shadows- seemingly out of no where, Vylianne came forth, her arms loosely by her sides, as she gazed at Yuar, and then the blade.
“ That is what the Legend states. I guess it’s true… this means, that the sword before your feet is the reincarnation of the ancient sword long ago. I would never have thought that the power of reunited a sword would have brought a soul back from the dead… I suppose it means that Rudy is healed as well.”

Vylianne turned her gaze away from Yuar, to gaze at Gyvien and Rudy.
“ They now will realize how their souls were meant and bound to be sister and brother, just like the daggers- they were meant to be of the same family.”
Vylianne shifted her gaze to Myra… and softly she spoke..
“Perhaps it is time that the Royal Link family reunites as well…”

To leave you all guessing for the sequel here is one more good Koger post before the end............



Koger
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He watched from the shadows as they all left the battered vessel. He had been there before the first of them arrived and he would be there after the last of them left. It had all been for his amusement afterall. The nights events were not schemed by him directly but he had taken a great part in it. A much greater part than any of these weary warriors would likely ever know. He would be there after they were gone for he had his own business left to attend to on this forlorn ship.
Once it was clear that Rudy and his cohorts were out of all sensible range Koger slowly crept from the shadows. He walked over to the beaten and bloody body of the vampire known as Lantis and let out a wry smile.
" 'We toil and scheme our days away yet remain a slave to fates embrace.' Truly an uninspiring end to such a magnate as yourself dear boy," Koger said quizzically.
It was hard to tell if there was a shade of joy or a shade of remorse in his tone. With Koger the two emotions seemed so similar that one could never tell. Koger's emotions were almost always a mystery though. No one had ever truly known him.
"You speak prematurely mutant," a low voice coughed at him from the deck.
Although he could see nothing but a corpse he was not the least surprised. For what was a corpse but a body with no heart left to go on. His smile broadened a bit as he realised the pun his mind had crafted for him.
"You did fool them, though, didn't you?" he asked with a whimsical grin.
"They did not realise my full power," the voice continued to cough as a new trickle of blood spurted from the corpses mouth. "Where were you? You were to be here to assist should they prove too resourceful."
"Oh, I was here Master," Koger hissed with a playful but benevolent ring. "But they did not prove resourceful enough, now did they?"
"This is no time for your jokes," the corpse barked back meakly. "Now fetch me my heart and help me inside before the sun rises."
Koger bent down and picked up the crushed heart at his feet. He casually turned it over in his hand a few times and then took two more steps till he was standing over the talking corpse. He leaned down as if he were going to place it back in the cavity it had been ripped from but halted. He let the last few drops of blood drip from it back to the body from whence he came but then he stood back up.
"I think not dear boy," Koger said with a twisted gaze.
"What?" the talking corpse shouted. "You insolent little troll!"
The corpse cut himself short there by coughing painfully, spilling more spurts of blood on the deck next to him. Koger squeezed the heart in his hand, wrenching it dry once again like someone else had done not so long before. He then dropped it to the deck and rested his foot precariously on top of it, holding it in place.
"You pathetic misguided fool of a vampire. How truly blinded with arrogance you must be. Did you think tonights events unfolded solely due to your own efforts? Do you think you are the one responsible for gathering all of the players in tonights little drama? Your fall this night was not the doing of a band of persecuted heroes my friend. Tonights events run far deeper than that. Every last detail of these past few weeks has been carefully scripted to this end......to your end! You did not lay this trap, it was laid out for you. How infantile all of your schemes ended up being. Your vision for the future is lacking," Koger scoffed at the corpse.
"No. None of that is possible. I........" the corpse began but Koger cut him off this time.
"You nothing Lantis!" With that Koger slammed his foot down on the heart with full force, pancaking it against the deck. "Before you die I have one last thing to say. Everyone should know who is behind their undoing. Even you my pathetic wretched little egg. While I took great delight in playing your little servant and assembling the cast for your demise I am not at heart responsible. The one behind your fall i a fellow vampire. One almost as ancient as you. He's even a noble. although of a lesser station in your decrepit aristocracy. His name is Kaelos Morican. You renounced his family for their views that class should be established by power and not by birth. He wanted you to know in your dying breaths that we would succeed where you hqave failed. He is already much closer than you have come to your goals. Its a shame you will never get to see how close."
With that Koger swiftly pulled out one of his katana's and sliced through Lantis' neck. The vampires head rolled away from its body and came to rest against a bulkhead. It could no longer speak or make a retort. It was now truly gone.
"Now fry my little egg," Koger said as the sun peaked out from over the oceans edge. "Your time is gone. Now it is Kaelos' turn to plan his plans and scheme his schemes. And when his future shines as dimly as yours does now Lantis, that will be my time. Where the schemes of you egomaniacal blood-suckers end, mine will begin."
Koger watched as Lantis' body lit up in flames. He watched as the wind carries those flames up into the air. He watched as the flames disipated to nothingness. And he watched as the outline of ash left behind was swept out to sea in the breeze. Only once the last remnant of ash was gone did he turn and walk away from that derelict ship.
His day was far into the future. Kaelos would not be so easily duped as Lantis had been. Kaelos would also not rest his plans upon a single night. His scheme would take years and years to bring to climax. No, his own plans would have to wait and ferment secretly. Only when the plans of vampire lords were all put to rest would his time come. Then they would all see what his twisted brilliance had in store.



OOC: MWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.................. . You'll never guess his true intentions until it is too late!!!!! Not until late into part 3 of the Dawn series.........

[pokemasterfrank]

Skyler
”Farwell!”

”I’m coming,” I thought to myself. ”Don’t die on me.”

The sword…the sword of that cursed beast, Roland, was in his stabbed into stomach, like a stick shoved into a corn dog. I fell to my knees as tears began to build up in my eyes.

“My child,” he said softly.

“Why did you have to fight him,” I wailed, the tears streaming down my face. “It was my fight. My fight…” He placed his hand on my head.

“I did what I thought was God’s calling,” he whispered.

“Isn’t this sweet,” said Roland sarcastically, with an evil grin on his face. “What a touching moment. The priest who took the boy in, and the boy. Doesn’t it just warm the soul? Too bad I’ll have to end this hallmark moment by killing you as well.”

“You monster…” I said to him, anger building up in my voice. He had left Farwell as that dying body, laying there in Liven’s arms. “You’ll pay.” Flames built up in my eyes, the fire raging as an aura radiated around my body. This was it. I would end his life NOW.

[Shaka]

Roland

I grinned slightly and looked down at Farwell then at the furious Skyler. "Oh im sorry....Did i touch a nerve??" I asked ending my sentence with a harsh laughter. "Well then Skyler...dear little vampire....why dont you just kill me and end it all?" I asked taunting him even more. I was readying myself for a fight as i spoke to him. buying time as i gathered my strength, this time i was going to kill this stupid kid once and for all. I started to step closer to the boy in a snake like manner. I straightened and looked at him,"Any last prayers to the God that couldnt save you through what pain youll feel?" i questioned him not really waiting for an answer but to taunt the more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@"~~

Liven

Sitting in the little pool of blood from my dear friend Farwell, tears started to swell from my eyes making it hard to see Skyler and that damn Monster Roland. I was holding Farwell praying that he would somehow by some miracle stay alive. As i listened more to what Roland was saying, i felt as if a monster was crawling out of the deepness of my anger, as he continued taunting Skyler. I wanted so bad to get up and slay the damned beast that made its way from hell. "Roland!" I yelled angerly. "YOU SON OF A B*TCH!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!!!!!" I said as i placed Farwell gently down and stood up next to Skyler. Turning, Skyler looked at me and shook his head no. I looked at him with a mixed face of sadness and hatred for the X priest Roland, but knew better to stay out of his fight with him, but i would be ready to jump in if needed to.

[Master Rudy]

Ugh! I can't believe I got owned again! How does the same thing happen to the same guy twice?

Rudy Summers
4:59 AM
------
While I was extremely overjoyed that Gyvien was alive I knew things were quite serious. "This has been one hell of a night hasn't it?" I asked everyone else. None of them took the time to answer. We all knew it had been long. Myra and Gyvien had been through the most but I felt their pain as well. Somehow I had a feeling this was due to the new powers I was developing. Myra lost a close friend and was forced to do something she never wanted any part of. Now she was cursed to drink blood for eternity. To add insult to injury it was a fate Lantis had originally planned for me. Knowing that it fell upon Myra instead was hurting me far worse than anything else could. As for my sister all I could do was watch helplessly as she died right in front of me. She may have been able to come back to life but it still hurt. Seeing it once about a year ago was too much for me. Watching it happen twice was more than I could handle. From that moment I refused to watch it happen again. As long as I lived I'd make damn well sure that there would not be a third time.

One thing was for certain however. Saying the night of October 16th, 12,110 was a long one for the Summers and Link families was the understatement of the century.

As I thought about the events of the night I considered some things that had been on my mind for the past few hours. I remembered my thoughts in the ship when I started to think I was going to die. However there was something else as well that had bugging me ever since I learned the truth following my battle with Myra. I had made a big choice for myself but there was a problem. I honestly didn't want Gyvien around when I did it. Our problems between us may have been worked out now but I knew it would hurt her even more if she somehow witnessed it for herself. My big thing was the fact that I didn't want to lie to her. I felt she had a right to know what I planned to do. Taking a deep breath I started to say "I know tonight has been long but....." Just then something got me to stop in my tracks. One among us was gone.

Vylianne had once again disappeared without a trace.

The others soon noticed it as well. With the exception of Yuar it looked like we were all shocked as to how she could disappear so fast. For a brief moment I thought I felt a presence. It was as if she was watching. Soon however it was gone. As the three of us looked around our attention was drawn to a low chuckle from Yuar. "This is nothing new. It's typical Vy" he said. "She seems to take a liking at being there when you need vague information and....." Putting up a hand I stopped him and said "Let me take a wild guess. As soon as you need more info she just vanishes as if she was never there." Gyvien was the next to speak about her. "I've never really gotten to know this Vylianne but from what I've heard she sounds helpful." Yuar's expression quickly turned to one of shock. He seemed to be having trouble finding the right words as he spoke. Finally he just simply said "You've got to be kidding me." As serious as things were I tried not to laugh too much. We all knew Gyvien was always very serious and wasn't the type to kid around. "Well we've all seemed to have our own encounters with her. As far as I know she had never steered us in the wrong direction." While I wanted to agree with my sister I couldn't. I trusted her in the past but now I wasn't too sure. Before I had any idea what I was saying I told everyone "I can't tell what it is but something about her doesn't seem right. It's as if I'm now seeing something that I can't quite place my finger on." Myra gave me a questioning look after I said that and simply asked me "It's your new powers isn't it?" I nodded before continuing with my thoughts about her. "I would assume so. However it's not something I can easily see. I wish I knew what her deal was. Besides she never did explain how she knew my father." Gyvien seemed to be surprised that I wasn't trusting her all of a sudden but Yuar's next words made me even more suspicious of Vylianne. "She's an ancient vampire Rudy and is much older than you or Myra think. I don't believe anyone I know could ever penatrate her thought process or even give her body a scratch in a fight. Be careful if you meet her again. She might seem innocent but she's not to be taken lightly. Chances are you won't be on the same side next time. If that ever happens Vylianne will make Lantis look like a fool compared to herself."

Those words from Yuar started to worry me since I was now questioning her intentions. I was about to respond to that when a comment from Gyvien caught my attention. "Well unlike humans it's not like time is against us. We're got the rest of our immortal lives to figure out what she may be up to." That comment was a reminder of what I was and what I was planning to do now. I knew Gyvien was right. As long as I didn't get myself killed I'd literally have forever to think about Vylianne. Once again taking a deep breath I said "Enough about that." Turning to Myra and Yuar I told them "Could the two of you please leave us alone for a moment? I need to discuss something with my sister." Yuar seemed to become slightly amused by what I asked and said "You really are a mind reader aren't you? I also had a few things to say to Myra and I was about to ask you the same thing." Not another word was said after that. All I did was nod and start to walk away with Gyvien a bit.

As soon as I felt we were far enough away to talk in private I stopped. My face must have worn a troubled look because the first thing Gyvien said was "You've got something on your mind don't you Rudy?" I was silent for a moment. Exactly how did you tell your sister you were planning to forget everything you ever believed and start drinking blood? It wasn't an easy choice for me but I felt it had to be done. The only thing I could do was be honest about it. I tried to start thigns off by taking the long approach. "I'm pretty confident that any problems we've had in the past are long gone now. I'm just worried now Gyvien. I'm afraid that after I tell you this your going to want nothing to do with me ever again. Even so I'd understand id you did decide to forget about me." What I had started to say really caught her attention. Since I couldn't exactly stop talking now I continued. "By now I'm sure you know what Lantis did to Myra. What you may not know is that he originally planned to do it to me. However he couldn't take control. As a result Myra now has to suffer with that fate for the rest of her life." Before I could say anything else Gyvien just simply asked "Your thinking of joining her aren't you?" This time the words wouldn't come out. All I could do now was just nod. Gyvien seemed to be very shocked that I would even consider this. She didn't yell but I could clearly hear the anger in her voice as she said her next words. "I can't believe this Rudy. What the f*** are you thinking!?" With a sigh I tried my best to explain my reasons to her. "This wasn't an easy choice for me to make. Hurting a human is the last thing that would cross my mind. The thing is that I care for Myra and love her very much. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't. She shouldn't have to suffer alone just because Lantis couldn't get his way with me. Instead we'll suffer together."

I half expected Gyvien to just walk away and never want to see me again. I even expected her to try and strike me down despite not making any violent moves yet. It wasn't official yet but I was pretty damn close to being a so called 'dangerous vampire with the intent to kill humans.' There was still time to change my mind but I knew I wouldn't do so. I knew that once I did this I couldn't turn back. It would become part of me forever. Despite all of these things which I was sure were also on Gyvien's mind she didn't do anything. Instead she said in a calm voice "I guess that very soon all of my friends and family are going to be bloodsuckers." As she said this she looked past me and said "You wouldn't ever suspect him of being one would you?" Needless to say I was very shocked and quickly turned around. Sure enough she was looking right at Yuar who was still having his own talk with Myra. As I turned back I just didn't know what to say as Gyvien kept on talking. "He's been one from the start. Yuar didn't turn out to be such a bad guy did he? I don't think you or Myra are going to become worse than him." Still feeling a bit shocked I said to her "But surely he would have left bodies around. How could anyone miss the fact that he does it? If you followed him around for a night I'm sure you'd find some poor human that he dumped off somewhere." Gyvien then did something unexpected. She actually smiled a bit as she explained. "That's the thing. Yuar only takes enough so that he can live. The human is never in danger of dying. Afterwards he returns them to their homes. There have even been some cases where he's bitten humans that are sleeping. Over the years he's perfected it. He's so gentle that the humans don't even notice." Even as Gyvien explained I couldn't believe it. Here I was discussing the feeding habits of another vampire. It was one of the last things I ever saw myself doing. Finally she wrapped things up with what he believed. "The two of you are actually alike. He's always believed that no one should die and that they should have a chance to live. He's just like you Rudy......or should I say like how you will be soon?"

After all that the only thing I could do was smile. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Yuar and Myra coming towards me. I didn't want them to know what I was planning just yet so the last thing I said to her about this was "Thanks for understanding Gyvien. I guess all that's left for me to do is let them know when I get a chance." However as I turned to face them something caught my eye. I had forgoten about the fact that Myra's lips were stained with blood. Just then I had gotten an idea. If I was going to go ahead and do this then I figured it might as well be memorable. For all I knew I could really screw up the first time and take way too much killing a human in the process. As least here there was no risk involved. Now there was only one thing I needed to know. "Tell me something Myra. Can you still taste some of that blood on your lips?" As she nodded she said "Well I've got a pretty good idea what your thinking. However it wouldn't be a good idea to do so. I can still taste the blood and I....." That was all I needed to hear. Before Myra could even finish talking I quickly leaned in and for the very first time kissed her. As I did so I also got my first taste of blood. It felt like a new part of me I had never know was awakened. While I didn't want to hurt humans I did have to admit something. It actually wasn't that bad.

As I pulled away I could clearly see the shock in her eyes. I knew she never would have expected me to do that if there was blood on her. Myra couldn't seem to come up with the words for it. Instead I was the one doing all the talking. "I have my own reasons for that Myra. Personally I don't believe that you should have to go through this alone. Besides if your worried about killing humans I think all you need to do is talk to your brother. I heard he can give the two of us some good pointers." Yuar seemed surprised that I had found out and asked "So you know now don't you?" All I did was nod without saying a word. I wasn't trying to be rude but right now the only thing on my mind was Myra. We both had several close calls tonight. Now I had to do something before it was too late. I didn't expect anything else to happen but it made me feel much more calm knowing this would be out of the way. Reaching into my pocket I told her "I found something lying on the ground. I believe this is yours." Grabbing her left hand I started to place my mother's ring on her ring. The ring which now belonged to her. However I stopped short of doing so. This confused Myra but I was quick to explain. "I'll give this to you under one condition Myra. Will you marry me and become my wife." Once again shock appeared on her face. I knew it was another thing she didn't expect. However the shock soon turned into a smile. She hadn't said anything yet but I had a pretty good feeling I knew what her answer was going to be......

~~~~Myra Summers?~~~~
Bright is the life after impending death
:::5:14AM:::

I stared at Rudy, surprised at these new turn of events. This night had been full of surprises, most of them have not been good. After Lantis's downfall I figured that there was nothing left that could shock me, I had seen everything.
It seems, I thought to myself with a slight smile. that this night is not yet over...

Though what Rudy asked slightly scared me, it was not the bad, gut-wrenching fear I had felt all night. It was a fear of what this meant--Rudy wanted to live his life with me by his side, he loved me so much he wanted us to be together forever. It meant that I suddenly had to trust someone else completely, that someone would be so close to my heart I couldnt stop it from breaking if something were to happen. It meant I had to lower my defenses and open myself up to the one who would be my husband.

And then, the fear of uncertainty washed away as I realised: This was something I was willing to do.

As I looked at Rudy, still holding my hand and waiting for me to respond, I remembered everything we went through ever since we met. I remembered our scuffles with Koger, Rudy finally finding his sister and the heated words her and I exchanged, the tense stand-offs with Roland and Liven, where the twitch of a finger couldve ended either of our lives. I remembered Oyars attack on Gyvien, the wait at the Inn, and the moment when we admitted our feelings to each other. I remembered telling Rudy on the roof of that Inn the secrets of my horrible past, and his caring words that had stayed with me even in the hardest times: The past is gone and cant be changed, but the future is what you make of it.

After that had been more close calls, Oyars ambush, Lantis's kidnappings. Lantis using me for death and blood-spilling, forcing me to drink blood and attack Rudy, but through it all we had managed to survive. Even when I thought for sure Rudy would have to kill me, a blood drinker, instead he joined me, kissing me as both a symbol of his love and his sacrifice. Knowing full well that what he did there was no backing out of, he tasted the human blood on my lips, and asked me to be his wife.
I felt like we were back on that roof, in that peaceful moment when the silver moon shone its light down like the hope Rudys words had given me. Looking Rudy right in the eyes I smiled. "I will Rudy Summers, but under one condition." His face lit up and he smiled softly as he asked, "What?"
I laughed a little as I drew closer to him. "Next time you see a sword flying towards something, dont get in its way. I think Im a little young to become a widow." I said with a wink. He laughed and I knew that no matter what happened in the future, everything would be alright. If we could make it through the past two nights then there was nothing we couldnt handle. As he slipped the ring on my finger he said, "Dont worry Myra. Im in no hurry to die." Suddenly appearing to remember something else, he reached into his pocket and handed me what I had seen before--Aneles's earrings. This time I took them in my hands and looked at them, as Rudy spoke. "Your friend told me to give these to you. She helped me escape from Lantis's ship even though she knew it would cost her her life."
As the gold and ruby earrings shone from the light of the setting blood red moon, I was deep in remembering my dear friend Aneles. Even now she was looking out for me, she had made a great sacrifice to allow Rudy and I this chance to live together. I would never forget her. "...Just borrow, Aneles." I said, holding the earrings tight in one hand. "These will always be yours." I felt Rudys hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him, as Yuar began to speak. "We need to get somewhere safe, the sun is about ready to rise."
Looking at my brother, I just now remembered he was there. I had been so caught up in the moment I had forgotten that the danger still wasnt completely over. "Your right," I said. I looked around at the battle field all around us, at the blood-stained ground, and at the motionless body of Lantis. "Lets get away from this place."

And with that, Yuar, Gyvien, Rudy and I left that bloody field of death, leaving behind the blood, tears and pain of the past and striding forward to embrace our future.

Our future as a family.

^-^
I wasnt sure what exactly Yuar wanted to talk to Myra about so I think Ill leave that up to Bulbie to post if she wants to.
*looks through her post* My post is so lovey-dovey*blush*
Oh well ^-~

Ok, I asked Shaka if she would finish the Roland/Skyler fight tonight, so hopefully shell do that so we can wrap things up. Once she does Ill make a Farwell post, and if Frank has nothing to add, then I think Ill make the announcement of the instructions for everyones final post. I just want to say right now, thanks to all of you that helped this RPG make it so far, and thanks for making it such a great and interesting story. If your still going to archive it Rudy, thanks and if you need any help just ask. This is one story I dont want to lose to the passage of time ^-~

[Shaka]

Roland


The street lights of the town were scattered with tiny moths and other insects. I was looking at the boy named Skyler with violent hatred but, also smiling at the fact that my poor “friend” Farwell was dieing. “Ahahhha!” I let out a hearty laugh of enjoyment as the thrill of killing two birds with one stone was in affect. This snickering I stared at Skyler, “Well boy! Even though you wernt the one who gave me this sweet eternal life...i thank you!” Skyler hearing this, straightened and gave a questionable look at me. “What the hell do you mean Roland?” he asked ready for any tricks I might put on him. I stepped closer with one foot right infront of the other, “Why? Why you ask? Well......because in a way...you started it all.....” Skyler clenched his teeth in anger. “errr...thats enough crap Roland! Why dont you shut the Hell up!! Your reighn of terror and blood lust is over!!” he yelled.
(drip)
A drop of rain fell on my face, sliding down my chin as I grinned. “OK!! YOU WANT IT SKYLER!!!! SEE YOU IN HELL!!” I roared, lightening flashed as I ran at the child with great speed. Before Skyler knew where I was I grabbed him around the neck, my arm tightened his breathing as he clung to my arm making me bleed. Feeling him do so I grasped his hair in one hand and flung him to the ground. I could hear Livens scream of worry for Skyler as his head hit the pavment.
(Rain)
After a few seconds Skyler started to get up, my eyes widened as I noticed. “Whats the point boy?! Why dont you make this easy and....maybe a little less painful for yourself?” I taunted as I kicked at his ribs. He grunted at the harsh impact my boot gave to his ribs. “R...Roland!! You damn monster!” He wiped blood from his lip as he spoke. Getting up he then noticed my sword laying in a puddle of rain water the street was collecting as the storm grew harder. “BECAUSE!!!!” He yelled rolling towards my sword grabbing the hilt Skyler was up on his feet as if he had never fell. “You killed helpless people and you.....killed the only person who cared..FARWELL!” He slashed my stomach and as the sword made a down wards thrust he turned it around and stabbed up my stomach and into my neck. Blood spashed onto his wet face. I could feel my energy weaken as what little blood dripped out of my body, the rain splashed on my face taking the blood with it as it slide down my mouth. “You damn kid...” I gurgled. Skyler looked at me frowning, “You have to pay Roland...for all the people you killed out of your lust for not only blood but power!” Skyler said as he started to twist the blade through my neck. “Ack!” I coughed as the blade was thrushed out of my body, as the blade left I fell to my knees coughing blood up in large amounts. Skyler stood over me with my own sword. As I sat on my knees I noticed that I also was hurting from the rain that was falling, the sting met with the pain that the sword left and I started to go into some kind a shock. I started to shake as I looked up at the boy who has done this to me. “You....damn ki...” I whispered angerly at Skyler. He just looked down at me gripping the sword in his hand. My sight was wavering and darking, blood still trickling out of my neck and mouth I was unable to heal my wounds. Skyler was silent as he lifted the sword up, rain slide down the sword as it raised in the sky. I gritted my fangs, “This...isnt the end. Ill never be gone....death will only be the beginning for me......” I choked. Just as I finished Skyler swung the sword down on my shoulder making me fall back. I was lying on my back as I saw a bright light.........then darkness entered.

LivenU
I watched as I saw Roland fall to the ground, I saw Skyler stab the evil Priest Roland in his heart...killing him for good. The rain was slowing now until it was just little droplets falling from the buildings around us. It was finally over, all the pain Skyler had felt from Roland. Just as I thought all was good I remembered my friend Farwell. “Farwell?! Are you....” I asked worried. He managed to open his eyes, there was still life in them. “Yes...my child....” he whispered weakly. Skyler dropped the sword and ran over to Farwells side, kneling down he looked at Farwell. “Farwell...You have to drink either Livens or my blood...Then you can turn full vampire and heal....” Skyler Stated holding out his wrist. “Yes...Please Farwell...” I also held out my wrist along with Skylers. Farwell looked at his two childern who cared deeply for him. Tears began to stream down his pale face, “N..no I down want to live as an undead creature....who only lives to quinch its thirst for blood. I want to die as a child of God....” he whispered. I began to cry at the thought of my friend dieing in such a bad and painful way.
