Aria appeared behind her, "Ah, you got here." She smiled as warmly as she could and started inside the cave. Deep within nearly half a dozen vampires, nearly all males, sat in a circle, lamps glowing brightly. Much had happened to the small cave system since Aria had found it. It now looked almost liveable due to the large number of salvaged items found within the ruins of the old House. "It's not much. But it will have to do for now." She brushed back a curtain and started down a long, pitch black hall, "Oh, you can't see can you?" She asked, turning to Victoria. "I'm sorry, hold on." She disappeared for a few second and reappeared with a lamp, handing it to Victoria. "You can sleep here." She pushed back another curtain to reveal a small cavern. "I'll be down the hall." She smiled and left, moving to a much larger cavern with her coffin and a few salvaged clothes. Aria went through them quickly and finally found a long, elegant gown which she was quick to put on and dash back to the main room of the cave

Victoria nodded blithely to Aria, listening to her, and slightly trusting her. She was going to tell her that she didn't need the lamp, but took it in silence anyway. Thanking her mutely, she walked into the dank cavern. It was nice and would do she guessed. She didn't know why Aria was trying to keep her hidden, but it didn't really matter to her anymore. She would just watch quietly as the mystery of this all unfolded.

"Would you like to come out and join?" Aria asked quickly, passing the girl's room. "You're welcome to it you like." the now matriarch started away and paused, "It would be nice to at least appear that we had more females... Well, if you don't want to come they moved all the books down the corridor a bit."

"Oh, um..." Victoria stuttered, trying to form words. "I guess I could...." she said, putting the amulet inside her shirt. "But maybe I should just...." she started and then nodded. "Okay. Where are we going?" she asked Aria, waiting for a reply.

OOC: jjust so everyone knows since iam haveinf trouble getting any real online time i will be playiung the special vampires and mobeus(he will come in latter).
IC: There was a light movment in the shadows, then Kain steped out and smiled at each of the vampires. "Aria it has been a very long time since i last laded eyes on you, were is the rest of your clan?" Kain's blood red eyes did not fall from the x-Sarafan. "I was hoping to hear some goo news from you, but your clan house was burn when i found it." The red robes of kain blew to one side a bit showing the mighty weapon soulreaver laided carfully at his side bound to him hip by some unseen magic that kept it there. "who is that? he weres the armour of a sarafan hunter?"

"He has just been turned m'lord." Aria said, bowing low, "A sarafan previously, but he showed promise. "This is all of my clan that is left. My House was destroyed by the sarafan, All those within perished. But these remained. I hope to reclaim some of our former glory." She glanced over at Victoria, then back at Kain, "My lord, may we perhaps discuss other matters deeper within the cave, there are some matters I wish to discuss privately with you."

Thes are dark times for us the sarafan are relentlis monsters that will not stop hunting us, That girl there is somthing about her what is it?" THey entered the very back of the caves. " I want the sarafan watched, one of my sons will be coming here to assist you as well, now what was it you wanted ot talk about?"

Aria bowed deeply, "Thank you for your help my lord. Now, about the girl... Her pendant, something about it irks me. When she's around the others feel it too. I assumed at first it was merely because she was human... But even that was false, she seems to be a Half blood. Perhaps you have felt something around her? Whatever it is it worries me."

Kain pondered a bit before walking back up the cave and looking down at girl Victoria. "Let me seee that pendant of your please." and with out waiting for an answer he moved the pendant to were he could see it clearly. The symbols on one side of it were unknow to kain, but the other had 6 lines going up and down it each line with a symbol of the pillars. "Aria my men will rebuild your clan you are to take this girl into the mountains, deep on the other side in the center of lake. There will be a huge tower were the ancient vampire tharad lives go and talk with him." Kain looked around at the group and at the sarafan, then back to aria. "When you get there you should find a blue daemon guarding the lake his name is raziel, the passage way is due north of here, a small crack in the cliff side shows the entrance to the road to his tower good luck."Kain

Aria bowed low, "My thanks for your help my lord." She pulled Victoria back into the cave when Kain had left, "Get together what you have and think you need. The trip will not be long." She smiled encouragingly and went out to the main area of the cave to discuss the conversation with her House and to explain to them what was happening, "Be ready to leave in two hours." She called out as she left the roomm.

The former sarafan streched, yawning. He cocked his head at Aria. He sighed, and packed....
Two hours later, as the sun went down, he waited outside of the cave for her. He lifted up his hand. "No arguments. I am coming with you."

"I wasn't planning on arguing." She replied calmly, shoulding a small pack and waiting patiently for Victoria, "We need to hurry. There's a cave halfway there we can stop the day at." She tapped a foot annoyedly. "We could get there in an hour if we didn'y have a mortal... They're so bloody slow..."

He almost said something, then bit his tounge. He regretted that. "Ouch." He sighed, the coppery taste filling his mouth, shaking himself, he streched. "Well, we need to bring her, unless you want to carry her."

Aria snorted, "Not likely." And sniffed, "Mmmm.... blood...." She glanced over at him quickly and moved over, kissing him passionatly and licking at the inside of his mouth. She broke away as quickly as she had begun, slightly embarassed, "Sorry, cuoldn't help myself..."

"You shouldn't have been surprised. In the future expect it." She licked around her lips, getting the last of it up. "By the goddess where is that girl?" Aria fumed, stamping down annoyedly, "We need to hurry up."

Victoria walked into the room, looking away, but addressing the two. "I'm ready now. I can move as fast as you can, so don't complain."she told them in a little fit of annoyance. She really didn't like being talked about like a child and the fact that she was being moved about like some sort of breakable doll was irritating.

Aria's eyebrows disappeared into her hairline, "Really now? Well, I suppose it hardly comes as a surprise anyway...." She started outside, "We're going to run. Twenty miles within the hour. You'd best keep up." Aria adjusted her pack and dashed out of the cave in a blur.

Victoria followed Aria with ease. All she had done in her early childhood was run. Away from her problems, the tutor who drilled endless and mindless drivel into her head, and anything, just to get away. Her face was pensive. She had mixed feelings about all of this. She supposed that Aria was her friend, but was to tell if that red eyed vampire told her to... would she kill me? And what of the demon raziel? This was getting more complicated than a bored night outside the shop.

Aria ran a little ahead of the two, unbothered by thought, focused solely on reaching the lake and the demon. Finally, at the summit of the mountain she stopped, sitting down on a jutting rock and indicating the others to do so also. "Come we have time. I need to ask you somehing Victoria."

"What do you know of your family? Your parents, your grandparents. Anything. But you must tell me now." Aria leaned forward expectantly, "Tell me everything. I need to know before we get to where we're going."

Victoria clucthed her pendant and closed her eyes. "My mother was a doctor, but I never knew my father. She died one day, I can't remember how, I was too young. My grandfather took me in and gave me this, until he died quite a few years ago. I'm not sure, but I think I'm half-vampire. It was such a long time ago." she said uneasily. "But that's all I can tell you."

Aria nodded and stood, "Just as I thought. Well, let us continue onward. I am curious about this man who lives in the lake." She smirked slightly and adjusted her pack. Starting into a light run that got them to about a mile away from the tower. She set her pack down and opened it, removing a beautiful dress and tossing it at Victoria, "Put this on. We should at least look presentable."

Victoria caught the dress and nodded. "Alright then. But who are we meeting? I've been in the dark here." she said as she shamelessly dressed herself, even in front of the strange man she had seen Aria kissing before.

A blue bolt of energy hit the ground in front of aria knocking her back. the place was quite not a sound or sign of the attacker, The like magic he was standing right behind victoria, a blue deamon. A mist came from his eyes in the dark around the group and he just stood there fora few seconds. "What are you doing here? And might i ask who you are?" his voice was calm and it sounded human unlike anything a deamon could have had andi t was the same blue deamon that appeared in the bar and the same one that warned Aria of Kains arrival. And his right arm was glowing blue the same colour blue as the blot that hit the ground. "If you can in peace then move on but be warned if i get even one glimnps of you planing anykind of battle or attack on the tower i will kill you all!" Then he vanished just as fast as he appeared" OOC just so everone know this is what razeil looks like www.nosgoth2.net/Defiance/images/LoKDefiance_RazielRender1.jpg

Aria stood and brushed herself off, "Well, that was lovely. Come on Victoria." She started forward calmly, and stood before the tower's door. She knocked lightly and moved impassively to stand behind Victoria, "He wishes to speak with you. If you are not certain of something I will answer but otherwise I am here only for your protection."

Victoria nodded, her face placid, though she was not thrilled with the thought of meeting someone she didn't know whom she would need protection from. "Right. But why he wishes to speak with me is... I've already told you everything I know." she told Aria.

As soon as victoria stood in front of the door razeil jumped behind the group, and the bridge(only the part behind behind him) fell into the water, they were stuck there." Please enter my master wishes to speak with you." The door slowly opened and in front of them was a spiral stair case, and a fire place. " Iwould hurry ythe sun will be up very soon, the cliffs around this place hide it's glow, if is alreadyalmost noon and noon is the only time the sun hits the tower." Razeil gave them a slight push forward.
