::Isis turns to look at the rose to only realize that Lost was standing by her side. She smiles and turns to face him.::

Me? Couped up? Never. This castle is what I have always dreamt of. I am happily at home here. And you are welcome to stay as long as you like...and I'd be glad to speak to you when you wish.

::Isis takes the rose and begins to decend the stairs to her chamber.::

There is only one other chamber remaining on my floor if you wish to take it.

Vorach's eyes narrow and He turns away as Lost ignores Him, very well, He thinks to himself. Moving He fades away as He shifts into the spectral realm and walks upto a large arched window over looking the forest outside. Everything is twisted, the trees bending and arching, even the window is warped. Several lights flicker amongst the trees as souls ready to leave the living world begin to shift. He loves this landscape, the realm of the dead.

Felix looks up as Sard and Arianda step around the corner. He leaps backwards as Sard almost steps on him. He is startled by what Sard said before he introduced the new vampire.

Sard? Felix dies? No. Felix is alive. Felix walks and jumps and runs. Alive, alive. Felix does not want to be dead. There are no friends in death.

Cringing a little he turns to Arianda and smiles.

Oh, another pretty lady. Do notbe afraid of Felix. He is different but the same. Felix is good, but everybody runs from me. They run and they scream and they cry when I touch them.

Tears prick the corner of Felix's eyes and he turns away.

Pretty ladies should not have to look at ugly Felix. You should not have to touch me. I should go.

Felix scurries round the next corner stumbling in his haste.

"Well then, may my time here bring you great comfort and may i not be a burden." Lost saids following her, still not knowing where this chamber was.

"I would enjoy some one to converse with. Tonight seems lovely I think. The clouds outside said it would likely rain. i allways love it when it rains. they said they would try and make light show to watch. You could give me a tour of the castle by lightning light. Maybe we could share some wine during the trip."

::Isis stops and turns lightly towards Lost.::

Dear sir i appreciate the flattery but I am have already been courted.

::She turns back round with a polite smile and leaves him to and open door.::

Here is your chamber. This ktchen is always open to my guests. Goodnight.

::She sets the rose at the foot of the door and then walks to the door across the hall. With out opening the door she walks into the chamber.::

Damn was all Lost could think. He walked into the room that was alloud for him. This room was odd to him, Something of the former residents were still around.

"Well hello," Lost said to the inhabitants. He then went and laided on the bed, looking up to the celing.He then became lost in him self, something very easy for him to do sometimes. he began to betrey him self, like a drug yet of cells working. Soon there is no lost, yet he is everywhere in the castel, observing with a blind eye. He then forms himself back as soon as possible and tries to regain himself. he had forgotten about the age of the castle, all the memories, all the souls slain in the lands, in the stone. Such pain.

He got up and stepped down to the libary. Books of books and knowledge and lore and chaos. Hum, Lost grabbed one of the many articles and began. He read on and on, finishing one and going on to the next.

*as Sard stepped out of the shadows of the hall a moment of blessed sanity entered Sard's tortured mind*

"I.... what did i say? Damn it all. oh, I'm sorry, my mind, it haaas flashes, you wouldn't understand. I probably don't have time before i loose mysself again. wwe have to find him, I have not known him for long but he is... somewhat unstable, the poor thing"


*holding Arianda by the wrist Sard began to rush down the halls, his unaturaly long legs eating up meters of hallway with each stride. before he sudenly came to a halt*

"oh, I'm so sorry, i shouldn't be dragging you along like this, and he already seems to have escaped my senses for now"

*releasing Arianda's hand he turned to face her and bent his first and second set of knees so he could look her in the eye"


"there, thats better, you won't have to harm you neck now. i offered to help you didn't I? well, what can i do for you ma'am?"

Time is nothing in the spectral realm, like the world frozen in an instant, a millenia could pass in the spectral plane but only a moment in the human realm. I useful trick when overwhelmed by anger. He has been standing at the window for what he realises is months of spectral time, while not even a nanosecond has passed in the human plane. Sighing He shifts back, his form manifesting before the window, dozens of trees reverting back to their usual proportion and shape.

Glancing to the side he sees a beautiful woman speaking with a strange vampire some distance down the hall way.

Felix peeks around the corner to catch a glimpse of Sard and Arianda but instead sees Vorach standing only two feet from him. He lets out a startled mewl and jumps back, landing gracefully in a crouch with a hand placed firmly on the ground between his feet while the other draws into a striking position. His hair stands up in spikes down his bach and his voice growls between his teeth.

Who are you? Are you Felix's enemy? Felix is not afraid. I will fight you if you try to hurt me.

The nails of his raised hand grow noticably into long, sharp claws and the muscles of his body bunch as he wonders about the identity of this sudden aparition.

Vorach chuckles then smiles at Felix, his fangs clearly visible.

[Color=sky blue]Harm you? No, ofcourse not dear Felix, why would I wish to do that? We are strangers and not on ill terms, as such there is no enmity. My name is Vorach, it is a pleasure to make your aquaintance.[/color]

Vorach says his voice echoic and silken, then turns back to staring out the window.

Lost, was wearing away at the mind. He had made his way threw half of the libary and was still going. He would stress on getting something that the book was writing about, then he would sit, for what seemed like second to all of you, but to his body a day or two passed, with just one taught process.

He then laugh. " HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA."

"ha ha ha ha ha haha ha ha"

he would then go to the next bit of reading and do the same, taking only mere seconds in reality, your reality, but actually taking years for him. days of this went on, him only moving his eyes and hands to get a new book.

"HEY, Where the fuck am i?"

Felix visibly relaxes at Vorach's soft tone. He slowly stands and edges closer to Vorach, so that he may see through the window and know what it is that interests the ancient vampire.

Many people want to hurt Felix, because he is... he is ugly... he is an animal... not human anymore. Was I ever human? It seems so long. Felix the man, standing upright, tall, pale skinned. I was proud. Now I am Felix, the animal... beast, left to solitude in the forest.

He looks to Vorach and smiles sadly.

You are lucky. You can walk among the humans as you please. You are something better than them. Felix is something worse. Do you understand?

Vorach stares out over the forest, then nods thoughtfully.

[color=sky blue]Yes, I believe I do dear Felix. Although, I may walk amongst them, I fear they revile me more because I can move so freely amongst them, and they will not ever accept me as anything but a predator. As such I am alone, even among so many.[/color]

Arianda steps a bit closer to Sard and takes up his hand in hers.

You may have been wishing to help me, but the only thing I need help with right now, dear one, is with company. I would greatly love some company, but it looks like your friend, Felix is it? Yes Felix, has ran off because he fears I may think him ugly. Now why would he think a thing like that?

Arianda gives Sard's hand a firm pat and continues.

Now let us go and find him. Shall we?

Smiling warmly, her green eyes twinkling, Arianda links her arm with Sard's, ready to go and look for Felix.

name:silverflame

parents: father was a powerful vampire and fought and died bravely in a battle involving another clan of vampires, mother was a lovely young witch maiden who died in childbirth.
powers: immortal but without the need of blood, strong powers in magic, psychic (cannot read minds however)
travels with: very old and powerful book of shadows and long- handled dagger with the mystics' language inscribed on the blade

silverflame cautiously approached the beautiful old castle, lifting the hood of her cloak and allowing her long hair to spill out from beneath it. yes, there were powerful forces at work here. very powerful indeed. a spell had been cast over this place, banishing some of those residing here to the shadows where their worst fears lay in wait.
she hitched up her long dress enough to make it to the large brass doors of this grand place. what was it that so drew her here? what magic was at work in this particular location? she had to know, and so knocked on the heavy door as loudly as possible.

Vorach stares out the window and watches silverflame approach, a curious look upon her face. His eyes change into deep wells of black and he sees straight through, into her soul. A half-breed, they were appearing with increasing frequency. Turning his gaze Felix he smiles.

[color=sky blue]Seems we have a new guest.[/color]

Yes. Another beautiful vampire. All creatures of the night seem to have such beauty. Vampires, daemons, angels, witches, even werewolves can hide themselves within handsome faces. Why can I not do the same?

Felix glances at Vorach and sees his interest in thew newcomer. He smiles and turns away.

Still, Felix talks too much about Felix. You should go and speak to the newcomers. Felix will be okay alone. I'm used to it by now.
