Yes my friend....it is. Its been a long time sense i have really noticed the moon. I had never really paid any attention to it...other then the fact it ment i could go out safely and kill and pillage as i wished. *Merely dwells on his words for a moment.*

You know....i really never realized it...

So anyhow...what do we do tonite???? Are better yet...what do we do at all....i mean the villagers arent quite so anxious to come and kill us now. *He laughs....then stops when he realizes how morbid it is to laugh at that....then begins to laugh some more* Ah....im so confused Marius......anyhow....whats are friend Adriana up to latley....i heard her moving around...I figured she was looking for me...since i *ahem* was in her bed.....heeheee.

*Marius nods.*

"Adriana is in her room. I don't know if she knows you were 'accidently' in her bed or not...I guess we'll know come tomorrow night...by if you're still alive or not."

*Smiles.*

"However my friend, the sun is about to rise. I'm dreadfully tired, and although the sun doesn't kill me as it does you, it annoys the hell out of me. So...lets retire."

*Merely agrees. They fly back down to the window ledge, then crawl into the window. Marius yawns, while Merely just smiles with his giant grin. The walk to the seperate chambers, Marius's just down the hall while Merely floats his way down to the dungeon.*

*Marius arrives at his chamber doors, opens them, walks through, and closes them with his mind as he is walking to the bed. He takes off his cloak, lays down, pulls the covers up, and sleeps dreamlessly, peacefully.*

Good night Marius...*Merely then makes his way to the dugeon. On his way to the inverted cross torture device, he finds a rose with a letter. He contemplates eating the rose but then remembers his "new" suit and decides it would be best to put the rose in the coats pocket that lies on his breast.* yes...that looks good there... *he thinks to himself. Then he reads the letter,* Ooopsie daisey... *He then makes his way to the iron maiden, this being where he will rest for the day.*

( Flying through the morning sky still as a dragon, Dragon Master looks down to see the town of reficul) I should be safe the for now (coming down for a landing Dragon Master falls to the ground and apoun closer inspection you can see large wounds near the chest and wing af Dragon master) i can rest here for a while I just hope the fucking villagers don`t dicide to attack me (with that being siad Dragon Master falls into a deep sleep)

*dawn is approaching, and finally Adriana begins to feel a little more sleepy. She yawns and stretches in her bed, smiling to herself. she had heard Marius walk by her door a little while ago. what ever possessed her to act the way she did, she'll never know...but she hasn't felt this good in a very long time. Perhaps that is why she is fighting sleep so much tonight. It is during this time that she is haunted by images of her past, images so horrible to her that sleep is not a welcome friend on most nights. She sighs. her eyelids are getting heavier and she knows that soon she'll have to face her demons once again. Every night it is the same. Maybe tonight will be different, she hopes so anyway. But, she closes her eyes and drifts to sleep. A troubled look on her face tells that her demons have found her yet again...hopefully, this day will be a short one, and night will fall soon, allowing her to escape her nightmares.*

*Marius awakens. The sun has just gone to sleep for the night, with his sister keeping a watchful eye on all below. The land is mysty...unusual for this early in the night. Obviously it had been raining during the day. Marius gets up from his bed and walks over to his clothes. He puts them on, then his cloak and finally his sword. He exits his chamber and walks through the castle... He walks by a window and decides its a good night for a walk. As long as he's been here in the town...he hasn't ever really explored the great woods surrounding it. He walks through the hallways and comes to the Great Chamber. He looks around, and decides to light a fire. He walks up to the two great doors, and unlocks and opens the one without the spell on it. As he is walking out the doors...the fireplace begins to blaze....making Marius a silohette against the bright flames to any who is looking towards the castle and Marius. Marius walks around the castle... He begins walking through the great forrest and is greeting once again by a white wolf, but this time it has a companion, another white wolf. Marius just looks at them and smiles. As he is walking through the woods, the wolves follow him...keeping a safe distance...as if they are looking out for him.*

*Marius continues walking through the woods, which he has been doing so for about two hours now, the two wolves still following. The moon is clouded out...and it begins to drizzle light droplets of rain. Marius just lets the warm rain fall on him...it is very relaxing. Soon the rain gets heavier...although still luke-warm. Marius continues to walk...his cloak is drenched and sagging off his wet body. His hair is no longer chaotic but laying peacefully upon his forehead as the rain runs down his bangs and down past his eyes, following the curves of his face and dripping to the ground. Marius smiles and closes his eyes for a moment while continuing to walk.*

*Relaxing sigh.*

*Marius walks on through the forrest when he sees something that draws his attention. In the shadows of the forrest, almost bending the shadows themselves, there is what seems a large looming building. Marius walks closer to the building, seeing it through the various shadows and such. He has to wipe his eyes several times, because the rain has became harder. The wolves no longer follow...they have dissappeared into the forrest. Upon closer inspection of various carvings and symbols on the outside of the building, Marius finds it is actually an ancient temple, far older than his castle. He tries to read carvings that he hasn't seen in a mellinia.*

"Night..no...temple...darkness...Temple of the Dark Elders..."

*Marius walks around the temple...paying attention particulary the carvings of a creature with great wings and its various roles in the destruction of humans... Finally he comes to what seems to be an entrance. He walks up the old stairs...wondering how many centuries, if not mellinias, have passed since the last beings set foot here. He walks in the dark chamber. He sees ancient candles...and decides to make it so he can see easier. They light up, and what he sees amazes him. Standing around him is what seems to be every diety of every religion carved into stone...all staring in the same direction... Marius turns his head to look at what they are all tranfixed to stare at for eternity. Upon an alter, covered in many carvings, is what seems to be a closed book. Marius walks up to it, and a wind blows through the chamber, making all the candles go out and sending a chill to the very soul of Marius. Directly behind the book a great flame erupts from a large metal urn. Marius has to sheild his eyes because of the drastic contrast between darkness and light. He can hear outside the storm has roughened. Thunder can be heard as well as the light of lightening can be seen. He walks up to the book, having to use more strength than normal to make his way through the wind. His cloak is fluttering madly in the blowing wind. He gets to the book and is appalled by what he sees. The cover is flesh. Where the lock is, is the skin covering of an eye, complete with an eyelid with tiny eyelashes coming from them. Marius looks to the left and sees a skeleton key. He picks it up and places it in the eye. The winds wail as if they were spirits crying out. He turns the key and the book slams open. In an ancient language Marius studied long ago, and has never seen but in one book, Marius realizes the writing is in blood. This intrigues him. He reads through the page and is if knowing he is finished with that page, a gush of wind comes and turns the page. As Marius as reading this page, a clap of thunder defeningly booms. Marius puts his hands to his ears. The great fire in front of him goes out, and all sounds cease. It is eerily silent. Suddenly a ring of fire comes from the stone floor, from underneath the statues. They explode. Marius has to dodge and cover himself from the flying debree. From the fire, something begins to form. It has an elongated face, complete with long fangs and nails extending from what seems to be arms. It has no lower half, only what seems to be a tail of pure flame, like the rest of it. It has two demon-like wings coming from its back.*

*Marius's mouth opens slightly, in awe. The fire-demon screams and flys straight at Marius. Its form flys straight into his mouth, knocking Marius back through the flames with his arms extend. He hits the wall with such force the ancient stones crack. The fire swarms around Marius's open mouth as the creature enters his body. Marius roars in pain as it feels as if his soul is burning. The creature gets all the way inside Marius's body. His body jerks chaoticly, lifting a few feet from the ground then falls limp to the floor.*

*Marius's body lies there for a few seconds, then sits upright. His once artic blue eyes are now black...with flames dancing across them. He stands and rubs his chest and the the backs of his legs...as if to straighten the wrinkles in his wet clothes. He bends his neck so it cracks. He walks away from the wall, through the flame and comes to the book. He closes it. He then walks away from the book through the other flame wall and exits the temple. The raining has stopped but thunder can still be heard. He walks several feet from the temple then snaps with his right hand raised to eye level and opens his hand so his palm is facing the temple. The temple explodes. The fire consumes Marius.*

*A few seconds later, Marius emerges from the fire, unharmed by it, nothing on him burnt. He walks away from the burning temple and walks towards the castle. The two wolves, although unseen, can be heard howling in the night...almost as if they are mourning.*

Damn annoying rodents...

*Adriana awakens at nightfall, drenched with sweat that is tinged in blood. That was one of the worst dreams she's had in quite a while. Thank goodness she is awake. She stretches and crawls out of bed, the dream casting a shadow on her mood. She dresses and exits the room, going to one of the windows facing the woods. She sees a shadowy figure enter the forest, and she smiles.*

Good evening, Marius....

*her mind wanders back to the previous night, and her mood lifts a little. She'll find her way back to the chair she was in when he came by her and wiped away her tear. There she'll wait for him. For some strange reason, she cannot get him off of her mind...*

(laying in the streets Dragon is awaked by the rain looking down at his body he sees his wounds have healed completely) First things first I can`t let my friends see me like this (consentrating Dragon Master turns back to his human form the only thing on him is his sword and what seems to be a new wepon two skin thight guntles which seem to be on fire but yet the fire dosn`t go out in the rian or burn his hands, walking towrd the castle in an indecent form Dragon walks in and goes stright to the basment to a closet he saw before walking into it he get dressed quickly and walks out in red pants a black tee shirt a red trench coat and black boots, then after he is dressed he walks to the mian chamber and sits on a chouch) I hope Maruis will except my apology for the door I broke before

*Marius steps out of the woods. He sees a reasonable-looking boy of about 16 carrying a staff wearing a black robe and a silver upside-down pentagram. He has brown eyes and dirty blond hair. Marius walks up to the boy.*

Nice Chain...

Fuck you. I am of the powerful ancient order of Seth, the only true evil.

*Marius looks at the boy's face, then down to his bare feet, then back up to the boy's eyes. The boy sees the flames dancing across Marius's eyes.*

Who the hell are you?

*Marius smiles.*

Oh, I think you know who I am. You just don't want to believe it.

Fuck you man. Shut your god damn mouth. Suck this... *boy places his hand on his crotch* ...so I don't have to hear you.

Come now, I have such wisdom behind these words. You should really respect your elders.

*As soon as Marius finishes these words, he jumps towards the boy, tackling him onto the ground. The staff drops away from the boy as he lands on his back. Marius is setting on the boy's legs. The boy tries to push Marius off him with his hands. Marius grabs his hands and holds them above his head with one hand. With his free hand, Marius rips open the boy's robe, revieling everything.*

I'm not going to let you fuck me nor am I going to suck you. I just don't work quite like that. However, since I'm such a nice guy, I'll do the next best thing...

Wha.....

You heard me.

*Marius spits in his free hand and begins to rub the boy's limp member. Soon it is hard, against the boy's will. He rubs up and down and the boy is trying, vainly, to free himself.*

In the name of God, stop!

Let me tell you something about God. He is the biggest underachiever of all time. He just has a good publicists, thats all.

*Within another minute, the boy shoots his load. Marius stops rubbing the boy and wipes his hand clean on the boy's robe.*

Nasty, sticky stuff isn't it?

You fucking asshole... God!!

Where is God? He could have stopped this. Instead He fucked you over and made you feel guilty. Me, I don't do guilt. Now you have a choice. Join me or...

Go back to hell!

*Marius stands up and away from the boy.*

You know, I did a favor for you. I was a damn gentleman. This is how I'm thanked?!

*The boy gets up and begins to run. Marius grabs the boy's robe and jerks it backwards. The whole robe rips off, revieling the nude, pale body of the boy while tripping him. He hits the ground with such force it temporarily paralyzes him as he lays on his back, with only his chain on. Marius walks up to the boy and stands above and in front of him. He steps so his right foot is between the boy's knees. He steps up so his heel is barely resting on the boy's balls. The boy gasps. You can see the fear in his eyes. Marius then puts all his strength and weight and grinds to boy's balls into the ground. He screams in pain.*

Should have respected your elders.

*He continues to grind the boy's balls into the ground. Soon the boy's screams are mixed with a gurgling sound. He begins to cough while screaming. Blood begins to flow from his mouth. Marius steps off the boy's balls and steps back. He unsheathes his sword and places it to the boy's neck. With his foot still between the boy's legs, Marius raises his foot and kicks the boy between the legs. Before the boy could let out another scream, the sword punctures his throat due to when he was kicked, his stomach muscles tightened, making his upper body raise somewhat. The boy looks at Marius in his last moments.*

Remember me child. You get to spend eternity with me.

*The boy closes his eyes as the blood flows from his balls, throat, and mouth. Marius takes his sword and sheathes it. He looks for a second once more down at the bloody, yet beautiful, lifeless body. He looks down to the boy's chest.*

Nice chain.

*He rips it off the boy and places it in a pocket. he stands and walks away from the lifeless boy towards the castle with a smile. He walks infront of the castle doors.*

*He knocks.*

*Adriana rises from her sitting place. She heard the knock on the door, and walks quickly toward it. With a smile on her face, she knows it is Marius. For some reason, she can't understand why she is so happy to see him. Passing Dragon Master on her way to the door, she turns to him.*

Greetings again, Dragon Master. You can speak to Marius in a moment about the door.

*she finally reaches the door. She takes a moment to straighten her garments. She grabs the handle and throws open the door.*

*The door without the broken lock opens to the smiling face of Adriana. Marius looks at her for a moment. A tear can almost be seen forming in his eye. He then shakes his head. He looks past Adriana and sees Dragon Master. He smiles.*

Why, hello sexy.

*Marius puts his hand on Adriana's shoulder. He looks again past her to Dragon Master sitting in the chair. Suddenly, he pushes Adriana to the side. She falls to the ground and slides across the floor and hits the wall. He walks through the door and up to Dragon Master. Quickly, he reaches out and grabs Dragon Master and pulls him up from the chair and throws him against the wall. He then walks up to Dragon Master and drags him outside through the doors. He does this with such speed that Dragon Master doesn't have time to respond to Marius's sudden attack. Now outside, Marius draws his blade from his back and slashes Dragon Master, who is lying on the ground on his back, across his chest. Blood begins to flow from his wound.*

Draw you're blade and fight me, so killing you will be more sport instead of just a massacer.

*the door opens to Marius' face. Adriana smiles even bigger when he speaks to her, then places his hand on her shoulder. But, his full attention is not on Adriana. Marius keeps glancing to Dragon Master, seated behind her...no matter...except...there's something not quite right with Marius...something with his eyes...*

*However, she does not have long to ponder this, for in that instant, Marius shoves her down. Adriana slide across the floor in shock until she strikes the wall, causing her head to bleed and disorient her. the next few moments go by in a blur. She can see Marius dragging Dragon Master out the door, but cannot comprehend what is exactly going on. Slowly, she stands up and feels the wound on her head. Blood is slowly trickling down her cheek.*

What the hell.....

*Her senses are returning, and she remembers Dragon Master and Marius are outside. She rushes out the door, to find Marius with his back to her, sword drawn, against Dragon master, who is bleeding from the chest. Adriana cannot let this happen! What happened to Marius? Why is he behaving in such a manner?*

*she walks slowly up to Marius, grabs his arm and turns him to face her, making him lower the sword. She looks up at him with her icy blue eyes, trying to fathom what has happened to her friend. She speaks softly to him*

You don't want to do this....I know you don't....I know YOU...

*and even softer still...pleading with him*

Come back to me...

*Marius looks at Adraina... He hears he pleading. He pauses for a moment. Marius then raises his sword and puts it to her neck, indenting the skin, but not breaking it. He then places his free hand on the back of Adriana's neck.*

I could destroy you right now...cease your pathetic excuse for an exsistance. However, I have other matters to attend to now, so if you would mind your own business bitch until it's your turn, I'd be grateful.

*Marius rips back Adriana's hair, pulling her head with it. He then puts his hand across her face and shoves her backwards. She falls once again to the ground. Marius turns back to Dragon Master.*

Now...where was I?

*Marius once again extends his blade so it is pointed directly to the head of Dragon Master.*

*Adriana falls to the ground. Her head hurts where Marius had pulled her hair so hard. Her gaze falls on Marius' back, and blood tears begin to well up in her eyes. Was she wrong about him? She thought he was....what did she think? She hadn't known him very long, but something about him drew her to him. Her mind wanders back to previous nights, when he was so kind to her....so compassionate. Was this really the Marius of those memories? Tears begin to fall down her cheeks as she stares at his form. She can still feel his lips on hers...but that seems like ages ago...what happened to him? She shivers as she remembers what she saw in his eyes...something very different tonight than in previous encounters. No...this is not the Marius she knows...but now what? As tears course down her face, she wonders exactly what will happen next...*
