Deep beneath the Matashina Cellar flooring where concrete started fading and what looked to be small, large hairline cracks were seen in a messy pattern and the dirt that laid underneath the concrete had shifted on its own, as if an abnormal power was behind it all but what rested beneath the estate was a beautiful crafted coffin and what was sealed within the confines had finally awoken from slumber.
The shriveled, decayed corpse was thrashing violently and bang loudly inside the coffin, and a scream erupted from her lips as Sekhmet awoken in the darkness. Telekinesis energy lashed out and caused the foundation of the estate to shake from raw power, and her telepathic ability ran rampant in search for a living mind where a voice echoed "Help me" could be heard deep within the sleeping or waking mind.
Sekhmet was a messy of skin, and bone with a weakened body and exhausted mind she thrashed while small hands curled into fists and banged over and over against coffin lid, eyes wide and frantic as darted left and right bit after few hours she had calmed in wait.

It was quite by chance that Daton, the young Seer was visiting the coven at this time, if only for a quick walk around the grounds before venturing in to his room, but his feet felt the vibrations from deep underground. It was also by chance that Sauri and himself often used to walk aroud the old secret tunnels in and under the manor itself, so he knew how to get under the massive building.
At first he thought it was a mild tremor, or some kind of animal had become trapped in the tunnels and was going crazy in the confined spaces... until he head a voice in his mind. He had never heard this voice before and he found it somewhat annoying that it cut right through his limited mental barriers. He would have to start using them all again.
Just a simple "OK" was returned to where the source of the voice was, as his feet showed him the way, after all he was able to feel some very small vibrations.

Her head rolled from side to side, and arms fell limp at her side but message had reached someone And reply was simple, but at least someone was coming. Her hands flexed out and curled into tight fists "Who are you" her voice searched out the one who was coming "Where am I?" an onslaught of questions were rolling of tip of tongue but halted and waited.
Eyes fluttered open again, and in a last waking strength she slammed her fists against the coffin and broke the latch but the chains held strong against the force, a growl rippled from her throat "God forsaken men" the coffin was slightly open enough that she could see but also smell the enticing scent approaching but she could also smell other scents.

Daton continued to follow the vibrations caused by the movements and slams inside the coffin. His mother would have been proud of him but he often wondered how he kept getting himself in these kinds of situations. Shrugging off these thoughts he carried on, soon enough the sound of light footfalls and the gentle tapping of a staff on the hard ground below his steps.
"Not all men are bad" He said, his voice quiet, and as calm as ever, but young, no more than a mere teenager. "Lets get that coffin lid open"
He slowly walked up to the coffin, in this room he had never been in before, which may have been accessible from the thrashing and slight earthquake caused by this person waking up. His hands gently moved across the lid, using his hands to see the edges "Feels old" He commented before giving it a firm push, moving it an inch or two. Each push moving it a bit further until there was just enough room to escape. "Old, but heavy"

Fresh air whipped inside the coffin, and as it was finally pushed opened enough that Sekhmet could crawl out and land on bare feet "I do hope the old comment is about that forsaken prison". Once Sekhmet was free her shriveled, decayed corpse faded slowly into the youth of an 18 year old "What year is it?" she turned and faced the man that had set her free.
Sekhmet took a unsteady step forwards till she was standing inches from the young man, and she breathed in his scent deeply but frowned a little "You don't smell like a normal human, but this place doesn't smell human at all" fangs nested neatly on her bottom lip, as an old fading scent of vampire lingered "Mmmm......".
"Who are you?" eyebrow lifted in curiosity while eyes darted over the confined place that was her prison for so long.

"That's because I'm a Seer" He pointed out as he pulled his hood down, heavy white bandages over where his eyes would be "And its been many centuries since you last walked this earth, I can assure you, but why are you all the way down here?" He asked in his typical quiet voice as he folded his arms.
"The reason this place doesn't have a lingering human scent is because mostly everyone who resides in the building above are vampires, I think I'm one of two humans who stay or visit here" He explained, shrugging to himself, however there was several old bite marks littering his neck. "By the way, there is a no biting rule in place, unless someone allows you to"

Head tilted sideways "A seer I haven't seen one of those in such a long time" her words hung heavy from a second "Oh really? How time has changed" she gave him a look up and down "Dont worry human isn't on my menu" she stepped back from the seer and gave the tunnels a sharp look "How do we get out?".
"I was sealed away with my mate" it was simple, yet short answer "There was time where one would take what they wanted, but I guess I could obey for now." she frowned a little she was hungry and the smell of vampires didn't help "Do you feed the vampires? Seer"

"Yet you are the only one to wake up" He pointed out as he pulled his hood pack over his head, which he did most of the time. He didn't like showing his face all that much. He found that people treated him differently when they noticed the bandages, so often chose to hide that fact when possible.
He pointed to the hole in the wall that connected the the manor's underground tunnels, newer in style to this sealed room. "I came through there, hope you have thick skin on your feet, its not a smooth floor" Her next question made him shudder momentary, remembering the time when he was used as a walking food bank. "No.... no I don't do that.... but there is blood available in the manor above"

Sekhmet had a distance look on her face, and his words held a weight in them "You could say that" she knew Khensu was dead she felt his life fade and she couldn't do a damn thing about it. His next question had both eyebrows lifting "I don't know I have walked in such a long time" she started for tunnel "You coming? Seer" she ducked her head, as she made her way out from the room that had been her life for so long.
"Is it all human blood?" she gazed over her right shoulder and kept blind seer in sight, not because felt a need to help but she was caution of him "Dont like being a blood bank you? I hear a seer is very delicious" a light giggle.

He nodded, and silently followed, not replying to her last statement for a while. He guessed it was a joke, but he was never any good at reading people through their voice. It was n;t surprising, after all he couldn't see what body language was being used. He sighed and shrugged before finally answering. "I have more than enough scars, and not just bite marks" He said, still as quietly as ever, but one thing had to be said about this young man, he was very well mannered, but it hadn't always been like that.
"It takes time doesn't it, adjusting to not having someone around that you know extremely well"

Those words caused a halt in her walk, and she frozen on the spot as past images of Khensu fluttered across her mind "Yes it's hard" her voice became somewhat more softer towards the seer "Do you have someone like that in your life?" she watched him from the corner of her eye "You move around very well" noting his skill in maneuvering about even tho he was blind.
"This might come as a strange request but is there by chance vampire blood around?" she tilted her head a little, as she ran a hand down the length of the ancient Egyptian gown and dusted it off and frowned at the tearing fabric "This was my favorite gown" she grumbled a little.

"No, no one in my life right now" He replied, chuckling to himself at the complement about how he was able to move about so well with out crashing in t everything, little did she knew that Daton did often walk in to things, he had the bruises to prove it. "I've been using the conversation like to hear where the walls are" He then explained as he patted one of the dusty walls with his free hand. "When you've been blind most of your life its second nature to use little tricks like that"
The question about vampire blood perked his interest, and an eyebrow, showing the edge of extremely heavy scarring from the bandage, not a question that he knew the answer to. "I have no idea, I'm more of a chocolate and tea kind of guy... and I'm sure someone can repair or make a dress in a similar fashion to whatever you are wearing right now"

Eyes were sharp in curiosity, as he explained how he did things "A Resourceful young man" she had friendly edge of smile "You would of surprised my husband" Khensu had a obsession with seer's and how some were mostly blind always made him curious.
"Chocolate?" she stepped out from the tunnels into the estate and took a deep breath in "Fresh air" she looked back over her shoulder "Know any vampire willing to give blood? Tea is nice but never heard of this chocolate you speak of" she laughed again "That is okay I think it maybe best if I dress with the time".
"So, why don't you have anyone special?" she was blunt and to the point at the time.

"I was blinded from a violent act, but I don't want to talk to about that" He replied about his person blindness, which was the reason for the bandages instead of something different. In his youth shortly after the incident he worse a full face mask to hide his face, but luckily he had out grown that. "Chocolate is a sweet treat, and with regards to your favored food, well, you'll have to ask, but I suspect there might be a bag or two in the storage room"
The question about if he was with someone did make him blush somewhat, which made him laugh and rub the back of his head slightly. "No, just me I'm afraid"

Sekhmet spun on her heels, and the seer "The horrible things in the past are what makes us who we are now" she offered another kind smile "You must show me these sweets you speak of, Seer" a gentle laugh "Well I'll ask around there should be vampire or two around somewhere" her fangs were much longer, and sharper and nicked the flesh of her bottom lip at the mere thought of food.
"That's shame you are a young and fit man go out and find yourself a woman, Seer time is ticking " she stepped towards him "You never know what will be awaiting you".
