To celebrate the recent attainment of racial equality and the restoration of the rightful dynasty to the throne of Pyrtania, there will be a grand celebratory ball. All nations are invited to send delegates.

(OOC Ok, my main character was a antional leader, he is mainly just an experianced person. He is a vampire by the way....he MUST have his sword with him, for his survival depends upon it. Regardless e will not cause trouble. Is he allowed in, I think I willm be doing a good rp...)

The Republic of Evopia has recieved your invitation and has sent the Commandant of the Hall of Justice, Dirk Villinius, to your ball

Sure, we've got a couple of generals lying around. They've gotta do something otherwise they get bored and start a civil war.

Salutations,
SbW

((Sure. A vampire's fine.))

( Some description of where we are please. As I say, "The more infomation I get, the better I can rolplay it." Just repparing some things....I will post a little later.)

The ballroom is decorated with streamers in silver and black. The floor is polished to a fine shine and an elven orchestra is in one corner, playing a haunting melody. A table is set along one wall with servants serving wines and appetizers designed for a wide variety of palates. The walls are lined with exotic plant life, rich and verdent. The King stands alone, awaiting his guests. He is average height for an elf, with ears tapering to a delicate point. He wears black leggings, boots, and tunic, with silver lining. A light, silver crown decorates the golden brown hair that falls luxuriously from his head. he smiles slightly to himself, awaiting his guests.

Kain arrived. he did not even know why he attended such a ball....he detested such thingd, such display of ones wealth, of one's apparent "supiroirty over everyone else." Regardless, Kain walked there, his long purple cloak blowing, even though there was no wind.

To those more observant could see a tarnished white symbol upon the back of the Cloak.

Kain walked up to the enterance and entered, his cloven feet clicking against the floor softly.

What the King saw was no ordinary vampire. Those who spoke of Kain said various things. But the thing they mostly said was that his appearnace is like no other vampire.

This was true. Kain having green leathery flesh, his brown cloven talons, his long white hair, his three talons instead of the regular five digits. His fangs.

Kain's stride was small, he observed his surrondings. He had a sheaved sword upon his back....it eminated a chilling evil arua about it for those sensitive to it.

(He is Kain from Soul reaver 2 in appearance, but nothing more. The swordis the Soul Reaver in apperance.)

DRaztonia will send Ambassador Laiho, he's always happy to *ahem* sacrifice himself for our land and attend parties 8)

Defari has recieved the invitation to the ball and have selected our Secretary of State Marqus Kilpatrick, a Defarian native who grew up in the slums of Borough City but went on to become a chief diplomat in the 1980's and now is holds on of the highest positions in Defarian politics. He will be arriving shortly.

King Segok walked up to Kain with a smile. His eyes shifted over the vampire with interest, briefly settling on each unusual feature."Welcome to Pyrtania." He said. The elegant elven features shifted as Segok scanned the ballroom, waiting for the rest of his guests to arrive. "You're the first one here. We're still assembling our court, you understand. Our first instinct was to fill it with heroes from the war of liberation but, upon reflection, we decided that might be harmful to the process of reconciliation." He laughs graciously, a small, delicate sound, like rustle of leaves in the wind. "In any event, we are King Segok. We don't believe we've met you, my good sir."

OOC::: Could another vampire play along? Ow, and is it day or night(seeing it's kinda hard for a vampire to do something like this in the day).
Also, you will not know he is a vampire, unless, ofcourse, you would happen to ask him. Or checked into my nations background =)

((Sure. It's open.))

"No. We have never met. I am Kain, Kain Irenicus. I would shake your hand but it can be a little...messy. You refer yourself as "we", why is this?" Kain asked, he had no knowledge really of the titles that many people claimed to have. He despised the king status, when Kain was the leader of Velmora, he acted normally and was considered a wise man, normal and Psi (human).

Kain looked over the King, his eyes diserning and critcal, the brown segmented eyes rather myserous to look upon, they held great knowledge behind them, and great pain. Few knew of the things he saw even know when he looked at life. Yet he endured....he endured...

Segok's lip turns upward slightly at one corner. "It is the royal we, how monarchs speak of themselves. We're still getting used to it as well, honestly. It has only been three days." Segok smiles a little. "Would you care for some refreshments?"

Kain paused before he said anything, considering what wouldbe more...dilomatic. If he had been younger, he might have openly said something to the King. But he said nothing more.

"No..I am fine. Three days you say? I was once a ruler myself, and I know of the responcibilities and burdans...ones which I would not wish upon my enemies. On what conditions have you met these circumstances?" Kain asked.

(What he means is why did you become king? As in was the previous King killed, or have you reached age or something.)

*A representative of Elf-Angles walks through the door along with a bodyguard.He wears a long black robe.Two large white wings jut from his back.He retains the ears of evles and many other qualitys.He stares at those in the room,especially those taken aback by the apperance of this new being.*

Segok laughs slightly. "Well, we suppose technically we were always the rightful king. But we didn't know this until a few years ago and we couldn't claim the throne until the rebellion of the people of Pyrtania against the brutal dictatorship of the human minority government. The victory of all peoples over racism here on Pyrtania is, in fact, the reason we called this celebration."

A young woman steps into the ballroom, flanked by two suited agents of the Imperial Guard, Princess Jennifer Vadian, eldest daughter of the Emperor of Neo Haven. The eighteen year old princess is stunningly beautiful, tall, slim and exquisitely graceful, her long flowing dark hair gently cascades down her back, a loosely fitting kimono like robe decorated with pale blue swirls and depictions of mythological scenes covers her pale flesh and her deep, dark brown eyes speak of the keen intelligence of her mother and the kind, gentle nature of her father.

The young woman glances over at King Segok and seeing him engaged in conversation with a rather curious looking gentlemen, she makes up her mind to greet him later and goes to fetch herself a drink.

The diplomat from Elf-Angels walks over to the new woman.He bows slightly to her.*

"Greetings madamn,I am Sarek,diplomat of Elf-Angles.As you can speculate,we are all the race such as I.A cross of elves and angles."

Princess Vadian returns the bow before allowing her eyes to flick over the winged creatures appearance.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Sarek, I must say I found the idea of an elf and angel hybrid fascinating. When you say you are part angel presumably you refer to the celestrial beings of Christian, Jewish and Islamic tradition?"

*He smiles*

"You are correct in that.I am the decendant of a forest elf and a seraphim angel."

*His blue eyes look down to the ground and a frown comes to his face*

"Unfortunatly,we have been shunned from both races for what we are."

Princess Vadian nods sadly, "We can only hope that one day our world will be free of this sort of prejudice, although I must say I am surprised to hear of it present amongst angels. Of course supposed divinity is no guarantee of moral behaviour, the Imperial bloodline allegedly leads all the way back to the half-god Nagastra Drakhan yet we have had some truly mostrous emperors in our history. Tell me, how large is the population of part angels in your nation? I find it most curious that an entire nation of part angels could have developed"

A figure in a big black cloak enters. He wait by the door for his cloak to be removed by one of the servants. He has grey eyes and dark black hair wich hangs just past his shoulders. His face is of immense beauty.

As he cloak is removed by one of the servants it reveals his height and build. He is about 1,90 meters in lenght, and has a slender build. He has a strong jaw line. He is wearing a dark black suit. In it he has tucked a dark red tie.

He looked around and noticed the king talking to another figure. On the back of this figure he sees a sword straped. He lifts a eyebrow and aproaches. As he comes closer he can sees the appareance of this figure better.

A brief smile crosses his face.

He stops next to the king and the figure.

In a soft but powerfull voice he says:

"Thank you for your invetation sire"
He makes a slight bow and turns to the figure next to him.
"Kain I presume?"

EDIT:: meh, i forgot to mention what Narrack was wearning :oops:

<ooc> I hope that I can join? If not than sorry.<ooc>
<ic> The diplomat of Athel Nora walked in to the ballroom, two men in black and white ceromonial uniforms followed him.
The diplomat himself was dressed in a simalar uniform as the guards except for the larger amount of decorations on it.Seeing that the new ruler of Pyrtania seemed busy he decided to wait a diplomatic 5 minutes before interrupting.
With a wave of his hand he sent his gaurds away and went towards the two other diplomats in the room.

"You presume correctly. You know your facts, yet I do not know know yourself unfortuanatly. Please remove my ignorance." Kain said, with a slightly greater degree of respect to this person than the King, he paid no higher respect to anyone just because they called themselves "we".

Kain did not bow, he bowed to few. But to those he did bow to, he respected fully, and in many cases would follow them into the depths of hell.

Which he had done in one horrifying occasion....

"My name is Narrack. I am the Spokesmen of The Free Land of Lunoris. It is always nice to meet fellow vampires."

He grants the king a brief glance.

"I am a member of the clan Tzimisch. You might have heard of us?"

He turns to the king.

"I greet you. May I ask how it became that you have taken the current position?"


OOC::: I don't bow for the king...

"I have not unfortunatly. I have no clan, for painful reasons." Kain said, his Irenicus name meaning "broken one, exiled one". He was once a Shentavo, one of the most powerful vmapire clans, sired by one of the most powerful vampires, and the most powerful angels, Rave Shentavo. (another player)

(OOC An extremely powerful clan, and well known, yet only about 10 in number, don't quote me. They are all players.)

"I have not met a vampire in a great deal of time...well at least not my former clan, the Shentavos. The inquistors tend to force me to a....solitary lifestyle." Kain said callously, the word Shentavo emphisied to send accross a point. (Roanias ones.)

*He again looks into her eyes,a slight reflection in them.*

"Yes we have a few humans and such,but no pure elves or angels.We are the majority.Till now we have been to afraid to expose ourselves to the world,fearing that elvish and angelic nations would see how many "abominations" there now are and attack us.We are a warrior race though,so I think we might survive.We had become warriors to defend ourselves from the mercyless attacks of angels and elves,but I dear it has grown beyond that.There are a few such as I who want peace.

Tell me about your nation now though."

A small twitch in the eyebrows of Narack can be noticed if one was to pay close attention.

"I have to say it suprises me that you have not heard of the clan Tzimisch.. And how is it that a vampire like yourself can be forced into a solitary lifestile?"

*Raven,the strong campiric leader of Rangoth steps in.He eyes all,looking for any fellow vampires.He walks up to a maid.*

"What do I have to do to get some blood around here?"

"Well...my vampiric nature as well as my mortal past....I do not wish to speak of it, too many bad memories." Kain said, as he ntoiced the other vampire.

Kain's Cloak was a grey colour, his own emblem once a proud blazing white is now tarnished, and disgraced.

Gen. Vortis, the brother of Langham's leader, arrives. Gen. Vortis is a veteran from the on-going Langham Civil War in West Langham and is highly decorated. Vortis arrives alone and walks to the bar.

"As you wish, we shall not discuss matter you do not want to be discussed. But if you ever want to go to a nation where vampirism is accepted you can always visit our nation"

He glances at the newcomers and looks at the on talking to the waitress..

"Seriously, somethimes you would think people would have more tact..."
He mutters..

Kain smiles. "Some wish to flaunt thier apparent supiourity over mortals. It may be the reason for such persectution against vampires." Kain muttered.

"I am still a fledgling (young, pretty newly turned), may I ask your age?" Kain aked.

Princess Vadian, noting the diplomats desire to change to the subject did not press the point. She smiled kindly and staring into the angelic creatures eyes replied: “I am not sure what to tell you, Neo Haven is somewhat similar to your own nation in that we have long isolated ourselves from the rest of the world, we are a proud but peaceful people made up of two unique human races, the aboriginal Kqaitha and the Kyriel whom are descended from them. We have a great respect for personal and political freedoms and are governed by the democratically elected Archon, and a figurehead monarch, my father. Our lands are somewhat desolate and as a result the majority of the population live in huge hive-like cities that are truly something to behold.”

BUMP

The Duchess Celestrianna Paelisi entered the throne room, dressed in a deep blue dress decorated with constelations motives. The stars were represented with little diamonds in the dress. A pair of black velvet gloves and a beatiful hat marking her elven ears composed the rest of her outfit. She was a maiden of unearthly beauty, many Aelosians compared her to the beauty of Lúthien Tinúviel. Strands of her silver hair falls at the sides of her hat, framing her fine and sweet features. Her figure was contained perfectly in the dress, a sleek silouette shaped like a guitar.

She stands in front of the King Segok, making a perfect bow in front of His Majesty, removing her hat to show the perfection of her deep, heavenly blue eyes. Then she says:

"We meet again, Your Majesty. It's a pleasure to be in a such beautiful country. Now I come as the official Foreign Affairs Minister of the Empire of Aelosia, and also your friend, I think".

Kain smiles. "Some wish to flaunt thier apparent supiourity over mortals. It may be the reason for such persectution against vampires." Kain muttered.

"I am still a fledgling (young, pretty newly turned), may I ask your age?" Kain aked.

A frown appears in Naracks smooth face.

"Our supepriority? To be honest, I am still not sure we are superior to the human race. We can no longer see the daylight. Nor can we ever taste any food or beverage. True emotions have been dulled. No, I'm still not sure we are superior."

Naracks expresion returns to normal.

"My age. Yes, you may know it. It has been 689 years ago I was embraced by my sire. Since then the world has changed.. I do not yet know if this is for the good or not. Only time will reveal.

Now, may I ask you something, How is it that you body has chosen these distinct.... Features? For, You said you could not hide them, but you can not change them. If not, there might be something I can do for you.."


OOC::: He is a master in vicissitude(the ways of altering the flesh and bone).

IC::: Narack looks with humor barely noticebal in his eyes as the elfish female bows before the king.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Narack, Spokesmen of the Free Land of Lunoris. I was just asking the king how he got in this position"

First Daughter Illista was somewhat late on her arrival, as she entered the ballroom she knew she would turn heads. She had chosen not to wear clerical robes but instead a Kimono that was of the finest white silk with the images of waterfalls and butterflies on it, her face was powdered and painted with the finest makeups and her hair was done up in the manner that had made her famous as a geiko, even down to her silver silk slippers she looked the same as she did at twenty when she was the most succesful geiko of her generation, the only thing that gave her away as a cleric was the medallion of Paladine on her neck. As Illista looked around the ballroom at the guests she smiled as she walked towards no one in particular, looking for an interesting conversationalist.

OOC: A geiko is the Istarian version of a Geisha.

Narack looks at the new geust.

"Oh god, another dress up doll" He softly mutters to himself.

He turn back to his conversation.

Unfortunaly Ilista heard him, she strode through the crowd between them and without further adeu slapped him, letting her rather long and sharp blue fingernails dig deep into his skin.

Gen. Vortis saw Illista slap him.

"Ouch. That had to hurt."

Celestrianna was still standing in front of the king when the slap's sound echoed in the hall. She turns to see the Geiko and Narack. "Oh, Did that guy offended you?", says the Duchess to Illista.

"If he ever insults my apperance again..." Illista let the threat hang in the air.

OOC: Illista is in fact the First Daughter of Paladine but she choose to wear the kimono of a geiko as she was one for many years until she retired and joined the clergy.

Vortis turns back to the bar.

"Note to self, carefull with what you say."

Princess Vadian turns from her current conversation to watch the commotion.

"Oh dear, and I thought it was going to such a nice quiet night."

As Illista walks away into the party, a man sitting near Vortis at the bar leans over to talk to him, "Those royals, always think their better than everyone else just cause they've got money, land and titles. What they don't realise is that they can't buy everything with... actually they can. Forget I said anything." He holds out a hand to Vortis, "Minister Hakenslash, from Slutbum Wallah."

The Duchess stands next to Princess Vadian "Yes, it was going to be a lovely night, it's a shame that always violence robs the nice, good moments. There was violence in that man's words, and violence in the slap. Violence is just the weapon of the weak, and must be wielded by the powerful only to protect yourself and your loved ones, not to avenge, insult or provoke"

Vortis shakes Hakenslash's hand.

"I'm General Vortis, brother of Langham's leader. I try to avoid royal people, Langhans tend to piss them off, and I wanna keep my head."

"Wise decision, friend. Without it you would be seriously handicapped. I take it you have no monarchy in Langham?"

"No we don't. We're led by the Supreme General and the Supreme Council, all of which are in the military so you can say we're run by the military. No kings or queens, just the Council and a General."

Princess Vadian nods, "It's almost like a microcosym of world events, someone does something thoughtless and imediately theres someone there willing to escalate the situation, we certainly live in interesting times."

Hackenslash raises an eyebrow, "Some might say that letting the military handle a country is dangerous, that you'd end up with more wars than you could handle."

"We mind our own business, try to stay out of trouble. Amazingly, we haven't been in that much wars. Langham used to be a royal state over 100 years ago, we got into alot of wars while being run by royalty, after being nuked in the 1950's, we turned militaristic. So far we haven't had a leader who's gotent us in trouble. The military's only agressive if attacked."

"A wise comment. And yes, interesting times we are living. Did you know that in this country, the pucks were considered pets and non-sentient beings?. At least the situation has changed. But there's a lot of evil still roaming this universe", says the Duchess, with a sad expression in her face.

"Fair enough." Says Hackenslash, raising a glass, "To Langham, and the prosperity of her people."

Vortis raises his glass.

"Same to Slutbum Wallah."

The President of the Commonwealth of Boa Vista, Antonio Carmona, along with the First Lady, Maria Florinda Carmona, and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ronaldo Texeira, will be attending the ball.

The young Princess nodded.

"Indeed, their is much war and suffering in this world of ours, however there is also some true beauty and goodness, and for their to be one their must be the other. Perhaps nations such as our own can work towards making the world a somewhat more stable place and keeping that spark of beauty alive."

This made Illista smile, "Who said I was royalty?" she then played with her platinum medallion with the symbol of Paladine, "I am the First Daughter of Paladine, the most powerful Priestess in all of Istar as I am commander of the Revered Daughters of Paladine in the name of the Kingpriest himself."

Segok smiles brilliantly to the Aelosian Duchess. "We would be honored to consider you our friend, Your Grace. It has been far too long." His eyes linger on her a moment, softly. "Perhaps, as you were present, you would wish to inform the gentleman of our recent change in administration. You could do it more objectively than I."

A servant leaned in and said softly. "We, Your Majesty."

"Forgive me, we." Segok says. "-We- are still rather too used to being a peasant and a guerrilla."

At that moment, Pyrtania's newuest Machioness walks in, none other than the puck who Celestrianna';s guards were so kind to. Her dress is a gorgeous ensemble of all the colors of the rainbow, seeming to sway gently around her. Her furry, bestial ears tilt as she regards the room in childlike wonder. She says to no one in particulat. "I don't see why I have to wear this corset thing. It reminds me of...well, I shouldn't talk about that. It's over and Seggy says it'll never happen again. I -love- these gloves though." She holds her hands out, examining her soft, verdent gloves. "Hi, Seggy!" She waves at the King who waves back with a slight laugh and a wink.

Segok looks back to Celestrianna. "Thank you for all you've done for them."

Narack looks amused as the dress up doll strides away.
He turns to his chat partners.
"If you'll excuse me for a second" he says with a smile.
He then follows the doll.
He walks up to her and stays there until he has her attention.
He then proceeds to wipe the blood of his face, and then lick his finger. After that he lets his finger slide over the cut. The cut seals itself.
Suddenly the entire bone structure of the men before her starts to change. His jaw suddenly pops forward, his forehead enlarges. His lips slowly creep away from each other. Underneath them two fangs are visible. He also starts gaining in height. He doesn't stop growing until he is two meters and 15 centimeter. His hands also slowly change, they become bigger, and the fingernails grow in length until they almost resemble claws. His shoulders widen quite a bit.
"Now I thought you might would want to talk to me now? Seeing I actually also made myself look a bit better... Now if you could just get all that paint of your face?"


EDIT: OOC::: Do not again do that. My vampire has quite the reflexes.. Say you try to cut him. Don't say you proceed. Also I wonder how you could have heared me as he:
1: mutters it(as in very soft utter the words).
2: Is quite a distant away from you.

Kain smiles. "Some wish to flaunt thier apparent supiourity over mortals. It may be the reason for such persectution against vampires." Kain muttered.

"I am still a fledgling (young, pretty newly turned), may I ask your age?" Kain aked.

A frown appears in Naracks smooth face.

"Our supepriority? To be honest, I am still not sure we are superior to the human race. We can no longer see the daylight. Nor can we ever taste any food or beverage. True emotions have been dulled. No, I'm still not sure we are superior."

"I understand that, vampirism is a blessing and a curse, I know the curses well, they ravage me more than most for my crimes. Eternity can be a great time, even thought I know but a flicker of time still...." Kain said remorsefully.

Naracks expresion returns to normal.

"My age. Yes, you may know it. It has been 689 years ago I was embraced by my sire. Since then the world has changed.. I do not yet know if this is for the good or not. Only time will reveal.

Now, may I ask you something, How is it that you body has chosen these distinct.... Features? For, You said you could not hide them, but you can not change them. If not, there might be something I can do for you.."


Kain shook his head slowly, "There is nothing for my appearance. In fact, it has granted me many advantages...sunlight does not effect me....I do not know if that is due to my sire being a....well the word unique comes to mind...This flesh is resilant to magic I have found, it absorbs a great deal of spells against me. It has saved me a great number of times. My talons have found a use, but it has some....social problems as I am sure you understand...." Kain smiled at remberance.

"Thank you for your offer of help, but I would prefer to stay as I am. I have grown accustomed to this form, even though a differnet appearance would disguse me for a time, it cannot hide what I am, what I was." Kain said in thanks.

Kain watched him walk over to the doll (OOC Next post, edited in accordance to reading again)

OOC::: I already had left =) I was chacing that dress up doll.

Underneath them two fangs are visible. He also starts gaining in height. He doesn't stop growing until he is two meters and 15 centimeter. His hands also slowly change, they become bigger, and the fingernails grow in length until they almost resemble claws. His shoulders widen quite a bit.
"Now I thought you might would want to talk to me now? Seeing I actually also made myself look a bit better... Now if you could just get all that paint of your face?"


EDIT: OOC::: Do not again do that. My vampire has quite the reflexes.. Say you try to cut him. Don't say you proceed. Also I wonder how you could have heared me as he:
1: mutters it(as in very soft utter the words).
2: Is quite a distant away from you.

(OOC Agreed to that. Please act as though your character would, they do not know everything you do (not aimed at anyone))

Kain remained in the quiet areas observing the change. Not knowing that skill, Kain marveled at it. He knew his own abilites, but he was never content. There was always more to learn Kain found...

OOC::: Come again? I didn't get it. Did ya agree with me, or disagree?

The two agents of the Imperial Guard seemed to barely even blink at the vampires transformation, however hands very slowly, very carefully traveled to holsters beneath their jackets. Princess Vadian shook her head and said very softly "I do not think their will be serious trouble, please gentlemen, let us not escalate an already difficult situation."

OOC::: Just wanted to post this change is very distrurbing to beings who never saw it. Someone's bone structure is undergoing a complete change. It is hard to not be intimidated by this. You gotta have a real strong mind. But then again... I don't know much about your chars =) Just wanted to let you know. =)

(ooc: They are members of the elite Imperial Guard, entrusted with the task of guarding the Emperor and his family. They are not people who are spooked easily. As for Princess Vadian, she is old enough to remember the horror of her uncle's reign, compared to the events of that dark time a little vampiric transformation is not something to be scared of.)

OOC:: As I said, I don't know much bout the chars. Just wanted to let people know =)

OOC::: Come again? I didn't get it. Did ya agree with me, or disagree?

(I agreed)

(ooc: Sure thing.)

Narack notices the guards going for their guns but ignores them.

OOC:: Just to get the spirit back in it.

ooc: sorry,couldn't find topic and then had to go to homecomming last night.

*Sarek nods.*

"Sounds beautiful.Maybe one day,maybe we could visit each other's countries.It would help relations I am sure."

ooc: bump

OOC::: Why the bump?

OOC: being a cleric Illista has seen (and destroyed) many strange and unholy things so this will not disturb her too much, none the less expect her go into defence mode.

IC: "Cie nicas supram torco, Palado, mas doboram burtud" (Though I walk through night's heart, Paladine, be thou my light.) Illista intoned and signed the holy triangle (the sign of Paladine) and a shield of white holy fire surrounded Illista, fire that would be fatal to the unholy undead who would seek to do her harm if it tried to enter the flames.

"Why so offensive dear child? I have not harmed you, although I have had every reason to do so. All I did was show the form that is by most, considered as my true form. And I asked you to do the same thing."

Althought the fire does not harm him, it is obvious he will not enter it.

OOC::: Bleh, almost got rotschreck. Would be a big nono seeing I would frenzy and flee and kill everything in my way...

"Stop your violent intentions now!. We're here to praise the new goverment of Pyrtania and everything you want is to disturb the peace of the rest of the presents", says the Duchess in a very authoritarian voice, "Holy daughter of Paladine, stop that now!, that vampire is not going to hurt you, and you, Narack, learn to behave yourself".

Narack turns to the Duchess.

"I did nothing wrong. She was the one that attacked me. And now I wanted to meet her also dressed down. That is all I did. Do not call me to justification again."

A bit of anger can be heared in the voice of Narack.

Princess Vadian nods slowly keeping an eye on the situation.
"I would very much like that, Neo-Haven is always looking to learn more about other nations."

"I do whatever I want", says the Duchess, "And more when I have the right and the reason to do it". "Your behaviour was violent and rude. I'm not defending the Istar delegate. She was as rude and undelicate as you, but that's not an excuse". She turns to her guards and says "Please, I don't want this vampire near me for the rest of the night. His undead stench is too nasty".

Two honor guard stands between Narack and the Duchess "Please, Sir, you heard the lady", says the fficer in charge.

"I believe I did yes. If she wants to stay away from me, she has to move. I for one will not move. And I would like to ask her how I was violant. I agree I might have bin a bit rude.. But that is due to... personal matters."

Segok sighs slightly, rubbing his forehead once. "Your Grace, please." He looks hopefully at the Duchess.

The puck, who's name is, incidentally, Nilna, scurried up to the holy daughter, walking quickly around her several times. She tilts her head one way and then the otherm examining the lifht. "Are you on fire, Lady?" She then regards the vampires levelly. "Be nice!"

Segok looks from one party goer to another before speaking somewhat quietly, almost to himself. "I almost miss being a peasant." He glances over at Nilna. "We think that it's a clerical power, my dear Marchioness."

The Duchess smiles "Oh, pucks are so lovely!". She walks to where Nilna is picks her up and hugs her. One of the guards takes off his helmet and says "Nilna, is that you?. I'm Astaris. Do you remember me?"

Nilna giggles and ruffles the Duchess's hair. "Heya, Celesstrial..Celan...pretty Duchess Lady." She grins at Astaris. "Of course I do, silly head." She beeps his nose with one finger.

Kain views the vents between the apparent "holy" woman. Still he did not know what the other vampire was like....Kain tried not to be prejudice, although he did prefer the company of vampires. Still....was that due to his own experiances or simply an affinty with those with same....situation.

Although many vampires where prejudice against mortals, Kain thought himself not....well. He certainly hoped he was not.

"Oh. Did you know I got made a Marchioness and stuff? It's great! You don't have to march much at all, despite the name!"

*Raven walks to where the incident is.He seems to tower above those there*

"See here,what is going on?What is all this yelling about?!"

*Sarek notices the incident that was occuring and looks at it.*

"Why do they fight?I would think they could hold themselves to a civilzed standard during a diplomatic ball.Even our most "bruttish" people manage to listen without attacking one another."

Nilna glances about the room and waves at Sarek. "Fighting is mean."

OOC::: Just wanted to let you peole know you are not helping the situation by screaming things as be nice at my char... He has a... bad temper from time to time.

"I am nice, truely. I just like do not like being slapped, and treated like scum. And trust me young one, you have nothing to fear from me. No one who means good has. Those who do not.. Well that's a different case..."

He glares at the doll.

EDIT: *Raven walks to where the incident is.He seems to tower above those there*

"See here,what is going on?What is all this yelling about?!"
OOC::: You tower above a 2,15 meters long person?!?

IC::: "I wanted to talk to herself, not this dress up doll that you can see now. But, seeing I also modified my body, it was only fair that I would also reveal myself. That is what I did. Since then I have been accused of being violant, which is untrue, seeing I attacked no one in this hall. Which I cannot say of other persons.."

His Majesty The King of Goldany is glad to accept your invitation and will send a delegation leaded by his Chancellor, Sir Gwastanald of Glomilot, Duke of Glomilot and Earl of Warrington. Another of my reasons of sending this delegation is to start economical treaties with Pyrtania. Our nation is very interested to start a relationship with your country.
Yours faithfully,
George I, King of Goldany By the Grace of God

The Duchess turns to see the magnificent elf-angel, and her jaw drops to the floor "Y..you ar..are ri...ght", she says, trembling. "That conduct is innappropiate", she keeps staring at the wonderful figure of Sarek...

"They are both proud people, believe it or not they probably believe themselves to be best representing their respective nations, by appearing strong and independant."

Nilna nuzzled into Celesstrianna's arms a little, winking. "You think he's cute?"

"Ehm, ajem..." she clears her throat, blushing like a little kid. "He's..pleasant, I suppose". She puts her elbow on Nilna's belly, to make her keep silence about the matter.

Nilna giggles and winks and makes the little gesture for zipping her lips. "So are you gonna tell the vampire guy about the war?"

"What war would this be?" Kain asked, his voice deep as he approached her, he had been listening to every word. His green skin looked dark green, his brown eyes twinkled.

Narack slowly starts changing back to his original form. He fingernails slowly grow shorter, and everything seems to slowly make sense again.

"But seeing many people take offense from my form, I will no longer show it."

He turns towards the duchess.

"I beg pardon for the way I treated you. You did not deserve it. But the way she acted, and the things Kain told me, enraged me. I humly beg your forgivness. I did not mean to offend you. "
Narack bows.

"May I ask you what war the child was refering to?"
OOC:: I didn't want to wait for Istar any longer to be honest...

Nilna pouts shamelessly. "Child? I came of age by my people's laws, 4 years ago." Her facial features and physical development are what one would expect in a 16 year old human, though the ears prove she's anything but.

OOC::: Ehms.. I might have mistunderstood.. but.. doesn't puck mean, small child? Is what my mom told me... If I'm mistaken please correct me...

Nevermind, i'll RP around.

IC::
A small grin appears on the face of Narack.

"I'm sorry my child.. but when you are as old as I am, it is easy to call people childern.. I was in no ways being dishounerfull. I often find that childern are wiser then adults..."

"About the war." Kain pressed on, wanting to know the infomation about it.

((Puck means a kind of fairy))

Nilna nudges Celestrianna a little and points at the guard she knows. "He saved me."

OOC::: *coughs* Aha... My mistake... Could we assume he saw this? I mean..

EDIT: *Raven walks to where the incident is.He seems to tower above those there*

"See here,what is going on?What is all this yelling about?!"
OOC::: You tower above a 2,15 meters long person?!

ooc:ok NORMAL peope lol.And which vampire are you all talking about.Raven is one too.

((Sure, though she does look very young too. About like a human would at 16))

*Sarek winks at the dutchess.He walks slowly over to her.*

"I am glad you agree."

*His blue eyes shine,and his short blond hair waves a little as he shakes his head.*

"I have seen enough fighting in my lifetime."

*He holds out his hand*

"May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"

Nilna pouts faintly and hops down, to free the Duchess's hands.

"About the war." Kain pressed on, wanting to know the infomation about it. Please answer.

((Aleosia hasn't had a chance to post since they were first asked. It's not like they're ignoring the question ic. Slow down, hun.))

(OOC Sorry, I am hyper right now due to loads of events of other threads. See page 30 of New Existance to see what Kain just did... :D )

OOC:: Talking about Narack. He is a vampire. And mine char =)

OOC: Hey. I'm sorry, have a little patience will you?. I was taking a shower. :P

IC:

The Duchess suddenly felt like the center of the attention. She first turns to the Elf-Angel and says with a trembling voice "I'm...I'm Duchess Celesstrianna Paelisi, but you can call me Celes if you want to. I'm very pleased to meet you, wonderful Avariel", she makes a delicate and perfect bow in response of the bow of Sarek. Then she give her hand to him.

Then she turns to Kain "I'm a disciple of the Imperial Chancellor Aliria D'hyru. She talked with you in Thelas once, and tells me that you embodies much of the honor and wisdom that is left in the vampire kin. I respect you, I have heard about your deeds, and I wish to know you as well", she makes a little bow, to show her respect for the undead.

"And about the war, it is a sad story. The Menelmacari found that the former goverment of Pyrtania was planning to annihilate all elves, because they raised against the goverment in a bloody rebellion. We came here to support the Menelmacari, and to find out the truth about bestial acts committed by elven rebels. We, as one of the powerful elven nations, have the duty of protect our kin in the nations where they are exploited or abused. So we intervened, along with other nations, and after a short conflict the goverment was deposed. We had proofs that the former human goverment of Pyrtania abused of the non-human population, but Nilna can told that story better than me, because she was one of the victims...", she turns to the little puck, expecting her to say something...

"They are gonna what?!?"
Anger clearly seeps out trough the voice of Narack.
"Is this true? If so, I would like to discuss some things with you."

The hands of Narack have become fists...

OOC:: Did you ingore Narack on purpose?

OOC: Hey. I'm sorry, have a little patience will you?. I was taking a shower. :P

IC:
Then she turns to Kain "I'm a disciple of the Imperial Chancellor Aliria D'hyru. She talked with you in Thelas once, and tells me that you embodies much of the honor and wisdom that is left in the vampire kin. I respect you, I have heard about your deeds, and I wish to know you as well", she makes a little bow, to show her respect for the undead.

Kain was slightly warmer towards her, he smiled breifly. Few saw the real emotional side of Kain, a trait he carried on in his unlife as he did in his former life. Those who did see his real emotions either saw infinate love and loyality, or saw death in all of its malice and cruelity.

"Thank you, it is good to hear that some choose to see the good side of me, often the shadows are there, but drowned out in comparison to the light. I am not suggesting I am pure good....but, some see me as the exact opposite of light for what I am. Judge for what you will..." Kain said in thought.



"And about the war, it is a sad story. The Menelmacari found that the former goverment of Pyrtania was planning to annihilate all elves, because they raised against the goverment in a bloody rebellion.

Kain listened in and did not comment for a while.

"Prejudice is rife in these times. Still the fact I am talking to you grants me hope." Kain said quietly and smiles warmly, again something which he had not done a great time.

*Sarek looks off to a wall.*

"I know first hand the brutalness of some elves.I also know the love of the others."

*He turns back to the dutchess*

"Like all races they have thier good and bad.What happened to these rebles?"

OOC: No, I didn't ignore that on purpose. And she's waiting for Nilna to speak.

IC:

She turns to Narack and says "I accept your apologies, but please understand that the presence of your kin is disturbing to me. I'm an elf, and I'm not used to deal with vampires. And Aelosia was ruled by a vampire once, a very ruthless and cruel one. I know you're ancient, and powerful, but don't understimate me, many elves of my country are as older and powerful as you, including me. However, many vampires have won the respect of my race, Lord Kain and Madame Rave, for example".

Astaris approaches Nilna and take her hand "I'm glad to see you're ok, I was worried about you. Look!, I'm a lieutenant now".

The Duchess turn to Kain again "I'm glad to see that the rumors about you were true, and to finally know you. I think that peace, justice and kindness are the true path of the living beings"

Then she turns to Sarek "Those rebels are now the goverment of Pyrtania. His Majesty the King Serok was the leader of the rebels back then. I know him during the conflict, and we supported him because he proved to be a fair and good ruler, with the ideals of equality and freedom held above all others".

"I do not mean to be disturbing... I am merely here as a representetive from my nation. And notice that our nation is indeed ruled by a vampire, but he was elected for this purpose. And I did not underestimate you. I wouldn't, I don't underestimate. It has a tendecy to get ugly when you do that"

A small smile apears on his face that quickly dissapears again.

"Now what was it I heared about killing the elfish race?"

"Kinslayer, we call the elf killing kinslayer. We usually wage war against nations that commit Kinslayer, to protect our race. All beings that hate and despise the elves should be prepared to face the wrath of Aelosia. And I'm a pacifist, but many of the Aelosian dignataries don't share my points of view. They're more...aggressive".

Nilna blinks twice. "Why wouldn't I be ok? You saved me and stuff and such."

"I don't know, something could happened to you, with the assasins, the rebels, the guys with big guns and stuff", says Astaris laughing, "And the rest of the pucks, Are they happier now?"

*Sarek buts in*

"Speaking of big guns,does your nation have a valuable arms trade?Our military is in a need of boosting in weapons.

Don't worry,if you wish I will not push that issue.We can stay at this topic."

The Duchess turns to Sarek "Yes, our nation is very powerful in raw military power. We have contructed tanks, guns, battleships, spaceships and all sort of weapons, but you're talking with the wrong person about that matter. I'm not a military officer, I'm a pacifist politician, and I don't know much about weapons and ways to kill people. My job is to save and help people, not kill them".

Nilna smiled at Astaris. "Very much. Bu we're having trouble learning to think of ourselves as people again. It's been generations."

*Sarek nods.*

"Indeed,isn't that all our jobs.All of us here are diplomats.And aren't diplomats to discuss peace and such,and not violence."

*He walks around the room,staring at the eyes of the dutchess and the vampires.*

OOC: Don't you people ever sleep or get offline? Update me.

Segok sighs slightly, rubbing his forehead once. "Your Grace, please." He looks hopefully at the Duchess.

The puck, who's name is, incidentally, Nilna, scurried up to the holy daughter, walking quickly around her several times. She tilts her head one way and then the other examining the light. "Are you on fire, Lady?" She then regards the vampires levelly. "Be nice!"

((That's all I did to you))

OOC::: Narack looks amused as the dress up doll strides away.
He turns to his chat partners.
"If you'll excuse me for a second" he says with a smile.
He then follows the doll.
He walks up to her and stays there until he has her attention.
He then proceeds to wipe the blood of his face, and then lick his finger. After that he lets his finger slide over the cut. The cut seals itself.
Suddenly the entire bone structure of the men before her starts to change. His jaw suddenly pops forward, his forehead enlarges. His lips slowly creep away from each other. Underneath them two fangs are visible. He also starts gaining in height. He doesn't stop growing until he is two meters and 15 centimeter. His hands also slowly change, they become bigger, and the fingernails grow in length until they almost resemble claws. His shoulders widen quite a bit.
"Now I thought you might would want to talk to me now? Seeing I actually also made myself look a bit better... Now if you could just get all that paint of your face?"


EDIT: OOC::: Do not again do that. My vampire has quite the reflexes.. Say you try to cut him. Don't say you proceed. Also I wonder how you could have heared me as he:
1: mutters it(as in very soft utter the words).
2: Is quite a distant away from you.

OOC2::More or less what I said to you. But I suggest you read everything. There have been a couple of other things.

OOC: Don't you people ever sleep or get offline? Update me.(OOC Different timeareas you understand. I am Britian, so obviously I will be on at different times)

The Duchess turn to Kain again "I'm glad to see that the rumors about you were true, and to finally know you. I think that peace, justice and kindness are the true path of the living beings"



"There are many sides to me you have not seen to me...but I am glad people notice this side....And to those vampires to think they are supiour than mortals....I will say this." Kain said to her and spoke lower so that none of the other vampires could hear.

"Mortals in many ways have it better. Eternity is a great deal of time, to watch those mortals you love die...to see the world change while you do not....trying to find meaning....To be the subject of intense prejudice, and with some with good reasons...To be outcast by your previous mortal freinds in many cases for what you are...To feel the thirst. You can never understand what that is like.....vampirism is a blessing and a curse. But my curses are thricefold for my crimes....I have said too much already. It was good to speak with you..." Kain said.

*Sarek nods.*

"Indeed,isn't that all our jobs.All of us here are diplomats.And aren't diplomats to discuss peace and such,and not violence."

*He walks around the room,staring at the eyes of the dutchess and the vampires.*

ooc:*poke* cmon do something to him lol

OOC:: Meh, sorry waiting for Istar to reply....

not gonna do that.. geuss that fire was a little to hot for the cleric =P

Gonna post after my shower

Narack sees the angel looking at him. Curious about what this being could be he approaches him.

"May I ask what kind of race you are? You are very intruiging. Are those wings actually capable of flight? If so, could you share some of your body makeup(Forgot the term) with me? It would be wonderfull if I was capable of the same..."

A sereen look comes over Narack face.

"Your a vampire, your fit for nothing except the Abyss and your dark god of death Chemosh." Illista replyed her answer based on centuries of Church Teachings on the Forces of Evil.

First Daughter Illista
Fe Paladas cado, bid Istaras apalo, tam Gidam codo.”
The Holy Empire of Istar

"Chemosh, the god of the undeath. Long time without hearing that name. And remembering it doesn't bring me good memories,, after all", says the Duchess, still her eyes fixed in the figure of the handsome elf-angel.

*sarek looks at the man that approcahes him.*

"I am an elf-angel.A hybrid between an elf and an angel.Yes my wings are capable of flight.And by body makeup you mean what?"

ooc::: *poke* anyone going to respond to anything lol

OOC::: Meh, me feel sorry, me busy! Me have complete ball of vampires at his palace he has to run..

Anywho, Eh, lets presume the convo between me and Istar is while I'm still in my other form oks?

IC:::

"Your a vampire, your fit for nothing except the Abyss and your dark god of death Chemosh." Illista replyed her answer based on centuries of Church Teachings on the Forces of Evil.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A surprised look appears upon Naracks face.

"My dark god? I'm not a follower of set... I believe the whole Caine history, not the stuff the Setites cling too..."

The look disappears and makes place for a more serious one.

"I am a vampire, but that does not mean I can enter the abyss... Yet.. I know some vampires who have gained the ability to travel trough this place. Even summon it. But I for one am no accustomed to that discipline, although I'm trying to learn it. With some difficulties. All I have managed this far is playing."

After he has mentioned this a small spot of blackness above his head. It is completely un trough seeable.

*runs across the room naked screaming like a banshee*

OOC::: Activates disciple of Obtenebration level two thus creating total darkness around aras.

Then he activates bone craft and grows spines of bone from his hands.

He then proceeds to run them trough Aras Seth.

Get out of here....

"Prejudice can come from many quarters cleric, bear that in mind. Judge us not upon our unique situation, I would not call vampires who have been turned a race....more of an infliction, with positive...and negetive sides to it. Regardless, cleric of the platinum dragon, judge us individually, as I thought you would to other people." Kain said the the woman, who he regarded with a small smile.

"I can understand that your religon and ways have taught you that vampires are evil, but just as the brightest of angels can become corrupt as can the darkest demon redeem himself. We are neutral I believe, we choose our own side in this life....as are you, I am sure you know of the equilibrium of life, how the races where formed according to your religons I believe....those words bear some meaning, but....can be rather narrowminded at best for exceptions." Kain said, his words spoken with passion and convinction.

"Hear! Only just new upon this world and he already understands it better then most of us will ever do!"

He turned to Kain and smiled openly.

"My sire taught me well, as have my freinds. I still have much to learn I feel...much more. Thank you for the compliment, it is good to know that others share my feelings about this." Kain said bowed his head slightly from praise from someone elder than he, smiling in return.

"He has done a fine job as far as I can see. You will do things, just make sure you do them right. But I have faith in you. I have."

OOC::: I don't know how you're doing it, but you got my char to like kain. A bunch.....

"She." Kain corrected gently. "It is good to know that people higher up are pleased with what I am doing so far. I have something for you...which I am sure you would find most enjoyable." Kain said, and reached for something inside his pocket.

He produced a long cigar, but unlike any cigar he had ever seen. It was a crimson colour, and had a black symbol on it, the same symbol upon Kain's cloak.

"Take it, a presant. It is one of my own products, a "Irenicus Blood Cigar". It is harmless, quite the opposite in fact. The feeling is...quite unique I can tell you." Kain said, having a goldern lighter ready.

(OOC Look here for details upon the product, it will feel really good I can tell you! It is the thread, Blood Cigars )

*Sarek walks around the room,eventually stopping at the dutchess.He stands by her side,then turns to the other two*

"They seem to be hitting it off quite well."

"She." Kain corrected gently. "It is good to know that people higher up are pleased with what I am doing so far. I have something for you...which I am sure you would find most enjoyable." Kain said, and reached for something inside his pocket.

He produced a long cigar, but unlike any cigar he had ever seen. It was a crimson colour, and had a black symbol on it, the same symbol upon Kain's cloak.

"Take it, a presant. It is one of my own products, a "Irenicus Blood Cigar". It is harmless, quite the opposite in fact. The feeling is...quite unique I can tell you." Kain said, having a goldern lighter ready.

(OOC Look here for details upon the product, it will feel really good I can tell you! It is the thread, Blood Cigars )

"Ah thanks... I normally don't smoke. I mean, what's the use. I don't breath. But I'm gonna try this."

Hold the cigar so it can be lit.

OOC::: The convo with Sarek. Just letting ya know, and assume a bit different time scale.

IC::: I mean, where are the muscles created, from what are your bones made up. Etc etc. Do you know what I mean? I know what I mean, your autonomie(SP?)."

Kain lit the cigar, as the crystilised blood and the soaked paper, now drty obviously ignited.

Narack took a deep breath from the cigar. Red fumes which tasted oh so suculant yet hanged within the mouth for long seconds, it was tantilising. After long pleasurable seconds, the warm blood became cool and condensed upon the throat and toungue. The single breath was powerful, as the blood was condensed. Obviously not a meal, but it was pleasurable the feeling of nutrition in gas form condensing and sliding on your toungue.

"Oh, that smell is...disgusting", says the Duchess, but she just go away, trying to start a conversation with the Elf angel.

*Sarek places a hand on his should as he looks back to the man*

"Trust me,if your smart you won't want elf-angels in your nation who don't know how to control themselves.We can be...........angry sometimes."

*He smiles and turns back to the dutchess.*

"Tell me,what would your country think of a exchange of ambassadors,I'd be interested in spending some time with your people."

"We...we would be delighted. I will talk to the ShadowPrince about that. The elves of Aelosia will be delighted to treat with such...exquisite beings as you are", says the Duchess, almost stuttering.

*Sarek smiles,partially at the welcomed response,and partially at the dutchess.*

"I don't know about all elves.Some might have heard storys,or the hate might be brewed in them.I guess we will find out won't we."

*Sarek Slides his hand down the side of her face.*

Nilna grabs onto the Duchess's arm and bounces up and down slightly, giggling and looking at the representative from Elf-Angels. "You're really cute!" The little puck says bluntly.

Meanwhile, Segok begins to glide towards the First Daughter of Paladine. "Excuse me, lady, I do not believe I have had the pleasure as yet."

At this point, an elf dressed in the clothes of a nobleman glides into the room. "I have an announcement to make. We have taken yet another step towards the goal of equality for all Pyrtanians."

*The seemingly dormant vampire Raven steps foward.*

"Oh and what would this great advancment be?"

Kain listened to the announcement. He did nto know what to think of the other vampires raising his glass to him....respect? Some kind of a test? Kain took it in his stride, and continued on, listening.

The Duchess smiles "I wasn't expecting otherwise from this goverment".

A Trasian ambassador robed in black walks to the party. avoiding all humans and Elves hat could be there (Trasians are 1/2 Human 1/4 elf and 1/4 romulan) he walks to a table and sits down

*Sarek smiles at the puck.*

"Why thank you little one."

*He looks back to the dutchess.*

"So,are our nations going to get to know each other better tonight?"

Nilna pouts cutely. "I'm not little."

"I hope so. Our nations have a lot of things to share, as you and me too..." says the Duchess...blushing.

*Sarek smiles.He places a hand on her shoulder.*

"No need to blush.We do need to get closer.For ourselves and for connecting of the countries."

OOC:: Why can't isitar just reply? This is annoying.

anywho, I asked sarek a question. How his people are build. I mean... where bones are placed, etc. He wants to know seeing he is interested in growing those wings himself while not in Zulo form.

"Yes we should. All the elf-angels are like you?, I mean, is your pupolutation entirely composed of Elf-angels?", says the Duchess.

*Sarek looks at the other*

"I do not know about such scientific things.Maybe you should go to our country and ask one of our DNA experts."

*He turns back to the dutchess.He takes her hand and has her follow him to a couple of lounge chairs.He sits on one,and has her sit next to him.*

"We should sit down,I hope that this goes on for a while.I wish to be around you as much as I can.To answer your question,no.Our entire population is not elf-angels.We have a handful of humans but they are the only others who will tolerate us it seems."

"You don't have pure elves?, I mena, normal, classical elves, like me in your country?", says the Duchess.

Nilna sighs redignedly as the elf angel and the Duchess walks away and then heads over to the refreshment table. The human walks over to join her, not showing any sign of noticing his proclamation got a total lack of response from the room. He pats Nilna reassuringly on the shoulder for a moment.

"None offically.Some might be in my country,but they are to afraid to show themselves to the public."

*He takes her hand lightly*

"I can tell you though,I have nothing against elves.I have forgiven those who hurt our race,and realized that those that did nothing,don't deserve the hate that many of us give them.I can tell you though,our goverment mostly is with me.We have a few stray politicians,but most are like me."

*He smiles and looks at the elves deep eyes.*

"The elves hurt your race?. How was it?, A war or something like that?", says the Duchess, blushing again, feeling his hand over hers.

"They massacered our race.Slaughtering women,children,men.They kept killing,trying to forget their cross breading with the angels.What is your stance on my race?"

Nilna walks hurriedly out of the ballroom after awhile and slams the door behind her. Segok looks over and just sighs, but makes no move to follow.

"We the Aelosians elves, from Sindarin heritage and the heirs of the Kingdom of Doriath, don't have problems with angels, or crossbreeds between angels and elves. Those elves who massacred your people deserved the worst punishment. That was Orc work, not elven work. I think you're fair, noble and amazing, but I only know you, I would need to meet more of your kind to say a just judgement", says the Duchess, smiling.

Astartis tries to follow Nilna, but first he glances at the King, as asking permission to do it.

*Sarek rubs her hand.*

"You are amazing.Not only have you given me a new perspective on elves,you've also made me forget about my troubles."

*He smiles,looking rather happy twoards her*

Segok nods to Astartis.

The Duchess laughs, in a nervous way. "Maybe I could visit your country, or perhaps you coul join me sometime in the green glares of the Craftworld of Aelosia, and our friendship could be the example for our peoples".

Astatis enters the room, pursuing Nilna, when he reaches her, he says "What's happening to you?, Why are so so upset?. Can I be of any help?".

Nilna shrugs to Astaris. "It's just...it feels...Never mind...SOrry. How are you?" She looks around awkwardly.

"Oh, C'mon. Are you hiding something to me eh?", says the elf with a broad smile. "Don't be like that, I thought that we were friends".

Nilna blushes a little and then shrugs. "I'm just being...I don't know, too sensitive, probably."

"Too sensitive about what?. I don't understand, but if you needd a good shoulder or a wise advise, just call me ok?", says Astartis, grabbing her chin.

*Sarek nods,smiling*

"We should.It would help bring my country out of hate and into the world."

Nilna peers up at him, pulling her chin away a little. "See? You didn't even...Just forget about it. What brings you out here?"

Astartis puts his hand on his hips and says "Hey!, I was worried about you, I'd never seen you sad, not even the day that I rescued you from that transport. And you're sad now, I can see that. You want more attention, is that what you need?. Please, you know you can trust me!"

The Duchess was almost melting, the touch of his hand was so delicate, his voice so sweet. She had never meet a being so attractive, so....disturbing. "So, Is that an invitation or should I invite you to Aelosia?", she says in a nervous tone.

"I should like it if we go over to alesonia.It would get our people acustomed to seeing elves with elf-angels."

*He closes his eyes, and smiles.He laughs inside from pure joy.His soul seems to swell up with joy.The very touch of this women,sent shivers down his spine,and his soul longs for her more.*

Nilna blushes slightly, her cheeks quickly turning a rosy pink. SHe looks at the ground and shuffles her feet. "I guess that's it. I just feel silly about it. A Marchioness shouldn't act like this."

OOC::: What happend to istar, and all the vampires....

I don't get it......

Lets just pretend that never happend okay? I mean.. they suddenly stoped rping.. and gave me a disadvantage...

Kain leaned against a wall within a quiet area and looked out the window. He saw the stars, the cool night. He smiled sadly for a little while before sighing. He walked outside to get some fresh air to think about some things. So many things.

He leaned on the wall of the hall outside, his Cloak was a purple colour, it was unusually inactive.

Astartis smiles and says "Well, I hadn't been a Marchioness, but maybe you should ask the Duchess, she knows a lot about etiquette and stuff, and all you need to get attetion is be yourself. You and me know that you have a lot of talent".

The Duchess closes her eyes too, just enjoying the intimate moment she was sharing with Sarek, "So, you only need to tell me when you want to visit us, I will prepare everything".

He leaned on the wall of the hall outside, his Cloak was a purple colour, it was unusually inactive.

Narack noticed Kain going outside. Seeing he wasn't in a conversation he decided to follow him.

He found Kain outside leaning against a wall.

"Is something troubeling you?" He asked Kain sincere.

"Many things. Many things...." Kain said, looking into the infinatly long sky, thinking still. He didn't look towards Narack still in thought.

What if Qui fails? What if I cannot teach Daniella even if I do get into the chamber? What if I do not get into the chamber at all? What to do afterwards? Should I rule again? Would they accept me?

"Many things. Many things...." Kain said, looking into the infinatly long sky, thinking still. He didn't look towards Narack still in thought.

"Would you care to share them with me?"

Kain chuckled. "Where to begin....I do not really want to burdan you with such talk. Most of my mortal life was troubled, let alone this one..." he said sadly and looked at his cloven talons.

Kain chuckled. "Where to begin....I do not really want to burdan you with such talk. Most of my mortal life was troubled, let alone this one..." he said sadly and looked at his cloven talons.

"It is no burden. No burden at all. I like you young one. I like you..." Narack left the last words floating in the air. He leaned against the wall next to Kain. "Got more of those ciguars?"

Kain reached into his pocket and handed another cigar. He smiled a little as he lit it up.

"Glad to hear it." Kain murmered and looked up into the sky again. After a little while...he spoke again.

"I doubt you would know, but I feel I can trust you. Do you know who I was before I was turned? In my mortal life?" Kain asked, this time looking at him as he asked the question.

Narack inhaled. It was a pleasant feeling.

He looked at Kain.

"No. I don't know who you were. I'm sorry, my past years have been... Isolated."

"Few do know. I was...I was once the ruler of nation." Kain said reaching for a cigar himself. He put it in his lips and lit it. He let it burn for a few seconds, the blood filling in his mouth. He inhaled and quickly breathed it out.

A red column of blood gas came from his lips in the shape of a small red dragon, aided by a small cantrip of magic. It hanged in the air, before being sucked in and condensing in Kain's mouth.

"The nation was called Velmora. Well, I saw was it still is I suppose." Kain said, thinking, his cigar in his fingers, as he took another puff in.

"What happend? Why aren't you anymore?" He blew a little red gas come out of his nose. It hanged in the chilly night air for a few seconds before dissapearing.

OOC:: As you might have noticed this was with a different acount. Sorry, puppet state I'm planing to do some RP with later on.

Just regard it as Lunoris

"This transformation for one. I left volentary. I am sure that a society which has strong religous views about preserving life and nature would react to it's ruler becoming in thier eyes something of death. I left before they knew I had changed. The reasons why I was are long...but simply put I was extremely injured after the battle which saved my nation. Rave helped me in this fight against a horde of demons....she was the one who turned me." Kain looked at the cigar, watch it burning, a few drops of the blood dripping onto the floor. He lifted it and took a deep breath and allowed the blood to slide down.

"My soul was changing as a result of the attack. I would become a creature of evil, a demon perhaps. I do not know, but Rave gave me a choice.....Allow her to remove the taint on my soul, but it would as a result make me a vampire...or die by her hand. I chose the first, I continued to exist. I left my nation secretly....Rave said I died. In my place, I left Jarrid. I trusted him....I trusted that bastard!." Kain said scornfully crushing his cigar, as it burned his hand. He looked at crumpled cigar and let it fall to the ground.

"Civil war now runs throughout Velmora....but I know little about why....I should go back....there are more reasons than this for my return. But I am thinking. What should I do? Save them and leave them? Or become the ruler once again....for eternity. There are so many things to consider. Would they accept me, could I restore order, wpould they even want to be saved? And which side do I support if they are both foolish in thier intent?" Kain sighed and shook his head.

*Sarek opens his eyes.He places an arm around the dutchess's waist."

"How about the tommorow.I just need to ship some clothes and such here,and my bodyguard follows me everywhere."

*He smiles at the dutchess.*

(OOC These are the upcoming events of Kain going back to Velmora, for those interested. http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=87780&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= )

*Raven seems to appear next to Kain.His dark form stands near him.*

"I am your elder I believe.I was one of Rave's first allys.....when the vampire wars first started.I took a horrible blow for her.She sired me,one of her first outsiders."

*He shakes his head.*

"But you must think not what to do,but will your nation even accept you.They might not like being ruled by a vampire.They might love it.First you must sieze the land again.Then,only then will you start planning what you will do with power."

*Sarek opens his eyes.He places an arm around the dutchess's waist."

"How about the tommorow.I just need to ship some clothes and such here,and my bodyguard follows me everywhere."

*He smiles at the dutchess.*

"So soon?", she says, blushing at the feeling of his hand in her waist "I...I don't know...I want to give you a good welcome".

*Raven seems to appear next to Kain.His dark form stands near him.*

"I am your elder I believe.I was one of Rave's first allys.....when the vampire wars first started.I took a horrible blow for her.She sired me,one of her first outsiders."

"But you must think not what to do,but will your nation even accept you.They might not like being ruled by a vampire.They might love it.First you must sieze the land again.Then,only then will you start planning what you will do with power."

Kain thought about this. "I suppose you are right. Anything would be better than what they have now, even if they do not accept me....thier problems would be solved...for the time ebing anyway. And I can help Daniella....thank you for your help. I have no time to lose. Thank you both, I must prepare and leave to Velmora." Kain bowed to them both and began to fade from view.

"STOP!" Narack yelled. "Could I talk to you in private?" He turns towards Raven. "Is it your usual tactic to sneak upon people when they are peacefully discussing things? Now, if you will excuse us." The words were uttered in such a way that it was clear that Raven should leave the two alone. Or bad things might happen.

"What is it?" Kain forming again fully.

"Well,if you wish.Oh well,it will give me time to plan out your arrival to my country.Also to allow me to prepare for our trip better."

*He takes his hand off of her waist and slides it down her face,holding her chin.*

"Should I go prepare or should we spend time with each other for a while more?"

*Raven snorts and laughs*

"OH please.My nation is larger,and I am stronger.But as to not anger the grunt I will stand away from fools conversation."

"As you want", says the Duchess "Do you dance?, I love to dance!", syas the Duchess with a smile.

*Sarek stands up,taking her hand.*

"I like most dancing."

*He smiles devilishly*

"Rave dancing is especially popular among elf-angels.Complete with the enhancing drugs that most use."

*He pulls her up and close to him.He wraps his hands around her waist and back.*

"What kind were you wanting?"

*Raven snorts and laughs*

"OH please.My nation is larger,and I am stronger.But as to not anger the grunt I will stand away from fools conversation."

"I do not care how big your nation is. And you are stronger in comparison with my current form. But that can easily change(Bloodpumping, transforming)."

"What is it?" Kain forming again fully.

"Would you please care to follow me? I have something I wish to discuss with you. Privatly." Narack turns auspex on(can now see invisible people, things, etc).

"Oh, we elves loves all kind of dance!, but I'm quite fond of the old styles, the vals is my favourite!", says the Duchess "Rave dancing?, oh, all things that involves drugs are forbidden in Aelosia".

"The vals?I am not familiar with that form.Maybe you can teach me."

"Oh, of course!", says the Duchess taking his hand "This way, 1,2,3. 1,2,3", she says while marking the steps on the floor. Then she turns to the orchestra "Can I ask for some music, the Flower's Waltz of Tchaikovsky would be perfect!".

*Sarek trys to follow and laughs at his attempts.He gets the hang of it and follows her closey."

*He pulls her close*

"I hope some of this is involved."

"Of course, Bastianel Dephil, the most talented minstrel of my nation, defined dancing as the vertical expression of horizontal desires", she says, blushing mischievously again.

"Well we should do some good dancing then."

*He smiles and follows her in the dance.He watchs her feet till he gets the hang of it and it becomes instinct.He looks back up into her eyes.He brushes away some hair*

"So beautiful...."

*He kisses her before she can respond.*

She just stands there, her mouth still opened, as in deep awe of the Elf-angel being, glaring into his eyes.

*He smiles*

"I couldn't resist myself."

Do you think that I'm atractive?....I mean, you like me?", she says, amazed.

*He holds her hand and stares back into her eyes.*

"Yes."

She smiles "I'm an important Aelosian diplomat. Maybe I should behave a little better in public", says the Duchess, noting the severe looks on the faces of her guards.

*He bakcs off a little*

"Of course,public rumors are often very damaging."

*He winks.*

"I beileve that I shall go prepare for my trip.Tell me when you are prepared for my vist."

*He hugs her and begins to walk off.*

"All right", she says, leaving for her room, but before she reaches the exot of the ball room she turns for a last time to see Sarek.

*Sarek trys to follow and laughs at his attempts.He gets the hang of it and follows her closey."

*He pulls her close*

"I hope some of this is involved."

OOC::: Could the two of you get a room? :roll: Just kidding.

EDIT::: ow... should have posted that right away :(

"Would you please care to follow me? I have something I wish to discuss with you. Privatly." Narack turns auspex on(can now see invisible people, things, etc).

"Very well, but my time is short you understand..." Kain said and followed.

*Sarek walks out of the palace,getting back into the limo he had come in.The long black car drives off to the nearby airport.In the limo he flips open a cell phone.He calls his agency.*

"I need several bags ready when I get back.I'm going to go on a diplomatic trip."

*A loud blast of yelling is heard through the phone.*

"Yes I know that I might be killed,but its ok.We didn't open our embassy for just people to come to us.We need to go out and talk to them............Yes sir.Once I get the word from the other country I will be on my way.I'll be there soon sir."

"Thank you." He leads Kain to a private place.

"Lets cut to the case. We can help you sieze your land back if it was needed. We can offer you assitance in multiple ways."

Narack looked at Kain.

"Please... accept it."

"How exactly would you be able to help?" Kain asked curiously.

"How exactly would you be able to help?" Kain asked curiously.

"Numberous ways, we can provide funds. We have troops avaible. We can even send in our specially trained combat group. And, we can help with other things. We are starting to have some influence here and there."
He sighs.
"You remind me of someone. Someone that was close to me"
He looks down and seems lost in thought for a moment. Naracks eyes tighten.
He softly mutters something. "I will not let that happen to me again."
Suddenly he looks Kain in the face.
"I don't have many things I love anymore. It has become... hard for me to love." A deep sorrow can be seen in Narack's eyes.

"How exactly would you be able to help?" Kain asked curiously.

"Thank you, for this assistance. I might require some of your forces alter on. I will speak to you afterwards about this, when I have drawn up some plans." Kain said.

"Hard for you to love? How so?" Kain asked.

(OOC I will T-gram with details, keep a look out of this thread http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=87780 for my que

Nilna shrugs slightly. "But she's the..." She pauses and glances at the Duchess as she comes out, going quiet.

Segok watches Sarek leave with a slight frown. "This is turning out rather interestingly." He says to the human noble standing nearby.

"How exactly would you be able to help?" Kain asked curiously.

OOC::: okies =)

IC::: "Love dies for us vampires. Most of our emotions are dulled. Did you not experience this? But then again, I have discovered varius races for vampires by now." Naracks face has taken back its normal appearance. "You will have our assistance."

Segok briefly surveys the crowd again, smiling slightly once more. He nods his head to the orchestra and the music starts to play, then he disappears briefly into the hall.

"The Duchess is leaving", says Astartis to Nilna "but she have gave me permission to stay here, and make you some company. Is this ok with you?"

Nilna frowns severely. "She's leaving now? That's a...Well...You're not supposed to say stuff like that overtly. But anyway she's the...Oh, nevermind." Nilna nods to him with a slight, weak smile. "Thanks Astartis. You're a sweetie." Then she glances over at the approaching king. Pecking Astartis quickly on the cheek, she scurries over towards Segok, visibly indignant and upset.

IC::: "Love dies for us vampires. Most of our emotions are dulled. Did you not experience this? But then again, I have discovered varius races for vampires by now." Naracks face has taken back its normal appearance. "You will have our assistance."

"No....actually, in one way yes but that has nothing to do with my vamprism. I am glad for your assistance freind. Did you want to talk about this further?" Kain asked.

Nilna frowns severely. "She's leaving now? That's a...Well...You're not supposed to say stuff like that overtly. But anyway she's the...Oh, nevermind." Nilna nods to him with a slight, weak smile. "Thanks Astartis. You're a sweetie." Then she glances over at the approaching king. Pecking Astartis quickly on the cheek, she scurries over towards Segok, visibly indignant and upset.

"What?, I didn't understand a word of what she just said", says Astartis. "And the king looks angry, maybe the Duchess should stay. Damn, that Elf-Angel is starting to piss me off. He enchanted the Duchess, with no doubt".

Segok walks Nilna back into the ballroom where the two begin to dance. A palace servant pauses besides Astartis. "It is very often hard to understand the words of puck, sir." He smiles gently and offers the guard a small finger sandwich from the tray her holds.

"No....actually, in one way yes but that has nothing to do with my vamprism. I am glad for your assistance freind. Did you want to talk about this further?" Kain asked.

IC::: "You need to leave is it not? I will not stop you, but please contact me soon."

Five gorgeous women, two human and three elven, glide into the ballroom in the most gorgeous of shimmering gowns. They stand near the wall for now, and briefly survey the inhabitants.

IC::: "You need to leave is it not? I will not stop you, but please contact me soon."

"Very well, I shall do so. Fare thee well" Kain said and began to fade into fog.

One of the human women who just walked in blinks once at the man turning into fog. She glances at the elf standing next to her. The elf shrugs.

Segok walks Nilna back into the ballroom where the two begin to dance. A palace servant pauses besides Astartis. "It is very often hard to understand the words of puck, sir." He smiles gently and offers the guard a small finger sandwich from the tray her holds.

"Thanks, they're fascinating indeed. I would like to have some pucks in our country. Sometimes Aelosia is just too cold, too serious", says Astartis, eating the sandwich.

The servant smiles a little. "They are. They are. And perhaps you could talk to the Marchioness about working something out. But think hard about it first. They are extremely sweet but they're also extremely senstivie, as you may have noticed."

"Working something out?. Maybe my wits are falling short, I'm just a soldier after all, but What are you talking about?, I will help the Marchioness in any way I can", says Astartis, scratching the back of his neck.

"If you want immigrants." The servant says simply.

"You mean taking some pucks to our country?. Well, that could be solved. It's just about talking with the right person. And our goverment is now very open to foreigners"
