New Era. (Whole Coven)

[Sauri Matashina]

She blinked and turned when he called out. A slight turn and she looked at him, his words slightly perplexed her at first, thenshe smiled. "There is no register for these lands. It is a place for all to come and stay. Many of us had no where else togo." She said, then looked down a little when he spoke of her looking as though she needed company. "I will stay and talk, there is no better way to get to know someone." She said, then looked briefly at the house. A shake of her head and she lookedback at Blackblood. "So, where do you come from?"

[Cerverous]

he couldnt help but laugh, no matter how hard he tried to hold it in, it came out any way, just as the material restock lowered itself to the ground. hed taken to doing this when he thought about the fact that hed never actually bothered learning how to build like mortals. "hahahahaha- insolence. thats a good one-" his voice trailed off but he did not intend to join the conversation nor did he expect to be acknowledged as he walked away to find something else to do. "its there when you need it"

upon leaving their respective area he stopped and looked around again. his hands itched slightly and this caused him to flex his fingers open then closed around a hilt that wasnt there. frowning at the fact while he took a moment to rub his right hand with the left, he stared at the ground. then he kicked out and his boot threw the dirt into a cloud. this cloud floated for just a moment before it shot into the ground in a rectangle, just about the size of a doorway. on the other side was nothing but white light, which grew closer and closer to him before he fell through it and it closed behind him.

[Blackblood]

"Madame, you would not believe me if I told you where I came from. My life span itself is a paradox. I might as well be as old as you, and yet, I have only been alive for a few weeks."

When spoken, his tone was changed from his normal monotone, and almost had a humor in his voice when he replied to her question. Now, he did raise hand to slip his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. He shook his head softly, and would not deny her the answer that which she sought from him.

"I came from far away, probably much further than any living soul has dared explore. Though, aside from your lands, the closest location that I could call home is a city named Arcane. It too, was plagued of war. The reconstruction still takes place, and I would help them, but alas, I am needed in other lands. Such as yours, it would seem. I was... ordered to return only when my name is known, and I shall return to inherit what had been left for me."

The vampire tried to make his explanation brief, without revealing his family name. He was aware that his lineage had many enemies, and in his current youth with a mortal, but undead, body he was as vulnerable as a babe to a pack of starving wolves. He tucked his hands into the pockets of his coat, and thumbed another flask of blood, debating whether or not to drink of it.

"I must admit, Madame, I am fond of the idea of your lands. Welcoming all with open arms and providing shelter for those who have come and gone without. It is very noble of you to do so."

The vampire blinked at the re-stock dropped off by Cerverous, a curious creature to him, as he had laughed at his manners. He did not feel any emotion that would cause spite or humiliation, for a pure and simple fact that anyone was entitled to their opinion. He did, however make a simple wave to the man that paid no attention to them, nor did he stay to further converse with both Blackblood and Sauri Matashina. The wave was meant for a thank you, as his attention for the moment was solely focused on the coven's Mistress.

[Sauri Matashina]

She looked at Cerverous a moment and raised a brow. He is different." She said more to herself. Her attention back to Blackblood she grinned a little. "I would believe a.great deal." She said softly. when he explained his home her eyes.darkened a little. she knew of Arcane and the Vampires that lived there.

"I know that city, and its war.The eldest Death , KnOT.. yes I know of that place. He paid our lands a visit." She said, and the. looked at him. "It is our way of protecting those who have been exiled from their lives, their towns. Everything they knew." She said and looked at him. "I have few rules, and as long as they are followed, all is well."

[Blackblood]

"I will do my best to obey and abide by your laws, Madame. You have the word of..."

He paused, catching himself before he gave a small chuckle, and continued, correcting himself of error,

"The word of a vampire loyal to any great family. As for .. KnOT's visit to your lands, I hope all was within good terms? I would hate to know that he passed with unresolved matters. However, were those matters of a more violent nature, I retract previous statement."

He said and both eyebrows raised slightly, before drawing to a point at the bridge of his nose, almost furrowed or angry looking. Although, if Sauri Matashina would notice, it was the normal resting position of his eyebrows. It may be what gave so many the wrong idea of Blackblood. That, and his secretive nature. Alas, the coven Mistress may be enough for him, in knowing for herself that Blackblood is not at all what he appears to be. He shook his head, he was getting off subject.

"I'm sure someone I met earlier is a part of your coven. Adele, as she introduced herself. She explained the rule of feeding on humans being strictly forbidden, and vampires must seek out willing donors. And that there are some places where donors are supplied to the vampires. I must inquire of this matter, what caused the change against our natural predatory instincts, and, how has it turned out thus far?"

[Sauri Matashina]

A nod and she smiled. "Well then we will get along fine." She said and then shrugged. "I have no ill will toward KnOT. Though the war he wages and the powers he meddles in will be his demise I fear." She said thoughtfully, and then looked to him again. "It's not forbidden here, but killing them is. the stock of this city is to ensure our survival. the hunts that slake our predatory nature occur outside of this city. If you feed within it the human is to feel no pan. that ensures they will not fear us living so close. its worked out well I think. We, well....I take careof them. make sure the city has what it needs to flourish. those of tainted blood may be take...to ensure the good health of the general population." She said and then stretched a little. "So they trust us in a way, but now I know its going to take a very long time.....to regain any of it."

[Blackblood]

The vampire paused, and looked at the coven Mistress quietly, before he lowered his head slightly. His tone was as monotonous as he could make it, to cover his sadness.

"Funny that you should mention your concern of his demise. He did pass. He was resurrected, as something else. I fear he will not be around much longer. Not as KnOT Death, anyway. What he came again as... It will consume him, eventually, and he will no longer be ..."

The vampire trailed off, and Blackblood nodded again, making sure he was ready to continue the conversation, or attempt changing the subject by going onto another rule. He had decided on the second. While he asked his question, he finally pulled the flask he'd been thumbing at in his pocket, and lifted it out in front of him. As nimble, gloved fingers held both the flask and twisted off the metallic cap, he held it out for the coven Mistress to indulge herself with.

"So, what other rules need I know about in order to stay alive. I'm rather fond of my head being attached to my shoulders, despite the latest in fashion."

He was joking of course, and then mentioned the flavor of blood he was offering in the flask.

"Blood type AB negative, with a touch of brandy-wine."

[Caine]

Vaughans appearance didnt feel right from the start, especially since he didnt carry an inch of content with him in his walk or body language. infact Caine had felt his presence long before he laid eyes on him, trying not to raise to much of a frustrated sigh when he stopped beside him. what developed next he had not taken the time to prepare for...

you've gone soft struck him first as though Vaughan were playing his old father role. both had stopped such a charade when Caine had become comfortable around the brothers and Vaughan had agreed that he was fine, this was becoming patronising. As soon as he accused him of playing nice despite his brothers death he wasnt going to talk, enough insults had been exchanged between them the previous night.

As he listened to his brother continue to bait him for the argument he focused more on working, only striking solidly frozen cement with his trowel as his brother put his abilities to irritating use. lifting his gaze to Vaughan's he gave a low snarl, only angered more by the smirk his brother gave in return. For once Caine lost his cool with Vaughan, launching at him in anger with trowel in hand, striking him against the right of his face with the tool

[Vaughan Dimitru]

Feeling the full force of the blow to the side of his face, Vaughan felt the slice of skin open as the trowel blade struck, sending him sideways in a stagger. He hadnt expected his brother to come at him so quickly, only having expected the usual warning. Though nothing would throw him out of his stubborn view, instead lowering as he stepped back into his brother, hands grabbing both of his wrists as he growled in reply, rugby tackling him around the waist and running him clear into the wall Caine had been working so hard on. in a flash they both collected the brick and wet mortar, sending the freshly made wall into pieces and the two of them onto the ground in a messy heap.

[Caine]

the trowel flew from his hand the minute it connected with his brother's cheek, his eyes widening with anger when Vaughan had the guts to step foward and return the favour. As Vaughan grabbed his wrists he wrestled against his brother, driving his knee upwards as he was forced backwards in an attempt to hit his stomach. the force at which he was being pushed backwards however faulted his attempt and once his back connected with the brick wall he cringed, loosing all balance as he felt the bricks behind him move.

Hitting the ground with a thud and groan, Caine felt the bricks under him, bruising at his back and shoulders amid their struggle. Rolling over and using his momentum to pin his brother down his eyes flashed a black screen, his runes bursting to life with demonic anger. Rarely did Caine ever react as he did, though lately he had begun to care less about his display of ability infront of his brother. while he struggled to keep his brother pinned he eyed around them looking for something to use

[Vaughan Dimitru]

responding to his brothers wrestling he felt his arms pinned, though took the opportunity while he looked around them to take aim with his head. despite his arms being pinned there was nothing nice about the brother's fight. there never had been. gritting his teeth with the anticipation of impact, Vaughan tensed the muscles in his abdomen, using the tension in his muscles as leverage to lift his torso under the pressure of his brothers manouvre and forcefully headbutt Caine in the face, pushing up and throwing his brother off of him.
"Wake up Caine, this is family!" he shouted at his brother, getting to his feet with a grunt, wiping the stream of blood off his cheek as he turned to look at Caine

[Sauri Matashina]

She nodded with a frown at Blackblood. "A shame to see such a powerful ledgend die consumed by power." She said, then turned. The sounds of fighting roused her attention and she growled lowly. She heard Vaughan and sighed. He and Caine were at it. She approached, hands balled up. "What the hell is going on! Have you lost your minds?!" She hissed angrily. She looked between Vaughan and Caine with hurt and disappointment. "Of all the places to start a fight, here?" She growled, and looked at Vaughan. "Do you think you are doing your brother any sort of justice by fighting your others?" She seethed, her eyes a vibrant color of red. She had not fed since the accident. "You want to fight someone then go after that bitch Nyx! Not each other! This is foolishness and I will not stand for it!" She by now was trembling with so many emotions she couldn't decipher them all. "This, is not the place, or the time." She bit sharply, and looked at the two brothers.

[Caine]

His nose crunched on impact from the headbutt, eyes immediatly tearing up in response to the pain that struck him. As Vaughan moved through and threw him off of him, Caine landed with closed eyes, feeling the splash of blood as it slid from his nose. though his eyes watered he had made his decision on what to do, ignoring his brother's shouting. he knew his family was important but now he knew the others would have to realise that Sauri was indeed that, apart of his family. Though the pain from Romals death was immense he still knew the circumstances, and deep down while he understood the blame which they placed upon her he couldnt do that himself. While Vaughan had stood up and taken the time to turn around, Caine moved as quick as possible, rolling forward and reaching out despite the limited vision. Grabbing a nail gun from a near by station he aimed it at his brother, shooting two nails squarely into Vaughans right hand and arm, his breath ragged as he dropped the tool with a look of fury.
"Ive told you once ill tell you again, I dont support this charade, now either pick up a shovel and help Vaughan or go bleed somewhere else!" he snapped, having lost his cool all together even since his fiance now stood shouting at them both. With his shirt and lower face covered in blood he turned and left his brother where they had been fighting walking past sauri and walking off to clean himself up.

[Kenshu Death]

She had settled down, as much as one like her could do. Next to Xiomara she always felt a little better then anywhere else. But now they shouted and scuffled she could feel their rage and their pain. Biting her lip she watched them. Jumping up onto her feet when Caine picked up the nail gun her stomach churned with the urge and the need to protect him, the one she loved.
An image of her ripping Caine's head clear off its shoulders made her shudder, her whole body crying out to help Vaughan, to sooth him.

But her feet carried her a different way. Afraid of herself, afraid of Vaughan, she twisted going to Caine. I aid him.
Getting close to him she stood infront of him holding her hand out to him if he took it or not it was up to him.
But unlike most she knew the pain they suffered.
"Caine?"

[Ajax Matashina]

Muscles tense he had left them to it, to rip each others head off. He didn't care as long as no one else became involved.
Dropping what he was doing he stood seeing his sister going over, he could not ignore that. Now everyone would seem everyone would look. Their eyes upon the coven Mistress as they always were.

Growling he moved across the work site, brushing past Caine as he did. It was the only warning he would give Caine against the public display. He knew there was no need for words between the two of them.
Reaching Sauri he took her hand quickly, resting a kiss upon her cheek he told her with their link that he would deal with them,she needed to remain calm.
And with that he went to Vaughan, ripping the nails from his arm before he could do anything else.
"Walk with me Vaughan"
