"Here is the armor we will be wearing. We could of course wear plate mail, but it is far too noisy. So a solution is chain mail. Less noise and it deflects most of the tiny nuisances," explained Sebastian holding up a set for Kaiden. He got his own personal set which was dyed black. He grabbed his own and stepped behind a small mini wall to change. He got dressed quickly checking for any spots that could be used against him. Knowing Kaiden might need help with the armor, he waited on the boy to attempt to put the armor on.

"We will be quick, once we are fully armored we will be off. I will be carrying you Alexia," said Sebastian knowing the blind girl would be far too slow to keep up with him much less Kaiden. He needed her visions, but he would keep that power safe no matter what. Just using her he felt as if the battle would easily be won.

Alexia stood in the armory, listening to her lord speak about what they should wear. She wandered around, letting herself explore. She touched a few weapons, but one in the back peaked her interest. She touched it and a sense of use came to her. It was an old purple heart quarter staff. She pulled it close and ran her fingers along it, feeling the wood for its old tale. She was drawn away from her fascination of the staff when Sebastian spoke. Turning towards him, she followed his voice and stood next to him, holding her newly found weapon. Her lips drawn into a small smile.

Bowing her head she acknowledged what he said. "I will try to avoid being a burden my lord." she said softly. "If it is all possible, I will do my best to be a very good asset to you, not only with my visions." She had tried to sneak in some lessons for self defense, but she never was able to get far, though she felt that if need be, she could defend herself until help arrived. She would not be utterly useless to her lord. After all, he needed her there to predict the battle, so why not let her have a weapon that could be useful to her?

Zelrica awoke several hours later to the painful sting of her transformation. She had always been told the more it happened the more she'd be used to it but that was not the case for her. It seemed that every time she went threw a transformation that the pain was getting worse. Rolling out of the bed in pain she clutched her arms tightly to her chest. Trying her best to maintain control however futile it truly was. Slowly succumbing to the natural transformation. In a few moments her normal figure was replaced with sleek black and white fur. Her paws lightly treading upon the floor beneath her feet as she made her way out of the home.

Leaving the home behind to find the answers to why she was in the home to begin with. The last thing she could remember was reading a message from Natalie about the kings army possibly invading her territory. Needless to say it wouldn't be a good thing to put her people into a war zone but it wasn't worth losing their home. Sitting on her haunches and staring up into the night sky. Zelrica thought for a few moments about what would be the best course of action before the smell of an all too familiar person came to her nostrils. Wondering if drama would ensue on this moonlit night she pressed onward towards the rest of her pack. Noticing subtle glares then a quick jolt of submission. The fear of something always seemed to keep them at bay. Even if she didn't know exactly what it was.

As they entered into the armory, Kaiden looked around with a somewhat fascinated expression. There was quite a wide variety of weapons, armor and other things he didn't even know the purpose of that it pretty much blew his mind. He was looking around a little bit until he heard Sebastian speak, drawing his attention to the armor set he had for him. It was a chain mail armor, something Kaiden had no experience with. Though the boy had never had any experience with any type of armor really. His weapon training hadn't required it, and he'd never been involved in any real combat outside of that training.

He took the armor from Sebastian and looked over it while the vampire lord went behind the privacy wall to change. It was somewhat heavy, but not so heavy as to be of hindrance to him, just a weight he wouldn't be used to having on his body. He wasn't quite sure how to put it on, but it didn't look that hard, and he was a fast learner. He would figure it out. After Sebastian was done, the boy took his turn behind the privacy wall to try and figure out how to dress in the chain mail. He managed to wriggle himself into it in a most awkward way, but when he was done, he had it on in the correct fashion, though his way of getting into it may have been a bit different from the normal way, and it took him longer than it had taken Sebastian.

After he came out from behind the wall it seemed everything was in order, and a sword along the wall caught his eye. It seemed the guards had brought his blade down here after Natalie had it confiscated from him, and it was lying there waiting. He went over and picked it up, then turned to look at Sebastian, as if checking for approval to make sure he had the armor on the right way, and that everything was ready. He caught glimpse of Alexia looking around in the background. She seemed to have taken favor to a weapon as well, a staff of some sort. Kaiden couldn't help but think it fitting of her.

Vincent smiled as he recalled his last visit to the temple. "It's been quite some time." He said. It had been at least thirty years since his last visit to the temple. When they reached the room where Vincent would be staying, he looked around. It wasn't the largest of rooms, but then again it didn't need to be. Vincent let Jericho help him over to the bed, and he sat down on it, for now not wanting to lie down yet. He would get plenty of down time when he slept.

When Jericho asked him to say something should there be anything he would need, Vincent nodded his appreciation. "Thank you." He said. "I won't be needing anything at this point in time, but if I do I will let you know." He watched as Jericho took a seat nearby and he noticed the curious way he was watching him. Vincent knew well that his name was known throughout the kingdom, though how much people knew of him was a different story altogether. There were varying rumors of varying truths, and many inaccurate assumptions by people who did not personally know him. For one, most people when they met him, expected to find an old man, and were surprised by his young appearance.

"The body of a creature, be it human, vampire, werewolf, is nothing more than a vessel for the soul."


"I'd thought you would know why you are here," The Necromancer pursed his lips behind the mask.
"Lately, your King Father has been mucking around the edge of the Dark Forest, debating with himself whether or not he should invade the "vampires"." He leaned down and slid a gloved hand along the side of her face, a sickly sweet smell emanates from the mask when he spoke again. "I had thought the vampires would be arrogant enough to provoke the King when they had you in their hands. But they did not act as I had expected, so now, I have to send him an invitation myself."
A knife suddenly appeared in his left hand. He took a lock of light black hair in his right hand and admired it.
"I would've taken a finger or an ear. Hell, I would've even taken your head if I had to. But, I doubt anyone else in the Kingdom has such fine black hair as yours."
Then he pulled the hair taunt, and sliced down.

Diantha glared at him as he spoke. So he was trying to provoke a war? She already felt bad enough that she may have started it with the vampires. Her eyes showed a defiance that she had inherited from her father. She felt him pull at her hair and slice a piece off. Looking at the silky hair in his hands made her stomach turn. She was not about to let him force her father into battle. She grabbed hold of the hand and hair and dug in her nails. Whatever his issue with her father and her kingdom was, she would not let him force them into a battle.

Despite her meek stature, she knew enough not to back down. "You, sir, are a despicable man." she growled. Her eyes shimmering in the darkness. "My father will not be taken for a fool." She wanted to slap him, however she knew the mask would hurt her more than her slap would him. Instead, she reserved the right to attempt to pull her hair from his hand. "I will not let you destroy my home or my father." She wished she had her sword, but she had lost that to the vampires, all she had was her words and her lord.

"My father will not be taken for a fool." The girl growled as she attempted to wrestle the strands of hair held in the Necromancer's hands. But he kept his fingers locked tightly. "I will not let you destroy my home or my father."
With one free hand the Necromancer shoved her away and glared at her. "Your father is nothing but a fool. A very confused fool, might I add. His people does not love him, and he doesn't know what he's doing half the time. It's time for a new King to rise from his ashes." He turned his head and motioned with his fingers to a large raven with red eyes perched on the shoulder of an unlife puppet. The raven hopped from the puppet and perched itself on the chair, it held out a vial -wrapped in a scroll- attached to its leg and the Necromancer carefully slid the hair into the vial. He kissed the raven on the head and watched as the bird flap its wings and fly off to the west.

Eluana's ears twitched when she heard movement inside. She listened for a long time in silence, debating on whether she should go and talk to her leader. After much debate, she slowly stood and turned towards the door. She had not even taken a single step when the door opened. Her tail lowered submissively as Zelrica exited. Her eyes shimmered sadly as she watched the young alpha pass by her and towards the woods. The slight breeze ruffled her fur slightly, bringing in the scent of her only friend in the pack.

Did she mind being alone, not really. She preferred it that way. After all, she was a monster, a beast that fed on human flesh. Well, at least that's what she felt inside. Her ears twitched at the reactions of the other members. Idiots, all of them. She shot them glares. Fearing her was an idiotic thing. The girl was not something to fear, or at least, Eluana did not see it as needed. She kept herself a respectable distance away from her alpha, her fur spiking in irritation as they walked. She would let Zelrica talk first, as she always did.

[Kamiya Kaoru Dono]

Diantha let out a small yelp when she was shoved away. She glared at him from under her dark bangs. Slowly she got off the mat and got a good look around her. There was no way she would be able to get away from this army. Her eyes widened as she realized what these things were. Undead creatures. Her stomach flipped and she bit her lip, trying to hold back the bile that rose in her throat. Slowly she swallowed and closed her eyes and sat back down on the mattress. There was nothing she could do. Instead of moping, she touched her cross and silently began praying, hoping someone would find her, and stop her father.

Natalie looked around the throne room before sneaking out of her group of vampires and left the thrown room, following Kaiden's and Sebastian's scent that was later added with Alexia's when she had gotten closer to the weapons room. She was mostly impatient to get the little game over and done with so that her role as the main operating royal vampire was now reaching it's toll for how many weights she could take on. Although, now that she was more wide awake and thinking back to when she had first woken up, the letter that was under Sebastian's door had reached her curiosity -- mostly the contents of the letter made her curious, but she would wait for a better time to ask about the letter.

Opening the door, she saw that the two kids and Sebastian getting ready for battle.
"My lord, the unit in Rhoden is on the move and the rest of us are ready to follow your commands," Natalie reported as she noticed that Alexia was looking at a staff then her eyes looked to the sword that she confiscated from Kaiden last night.

King Alexander Belvidir Rowena II XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Servants of the Kingdom, Masters of the people."

The Letter left the King fuming, he crunched the letter in his hands, the vial containing Dia's hair cracked and broke, the thin strands of her hair floated to the ground. Nothing can stop him now. Not Vincent, not the High Priest, not even the Queen. Alexandar stood up in anger and threw both the vial and the crunched up letter at the side of his tent. How could that have happened? How? The King shook his head. Of course she's be taken, SHE'S IN THE GODS DAMNED FOREST, how could he have not at least sent an escort into the forest? How could he have thought her safe when she's still in the BLOODY FOREST? He thought to himself as he paced around in the tent.
No, this has to end. Alexandar stopped pacing. He walked out of his tent and called for several messengers. The Army will be marching. Now.
He went back into his tent and summoned for his squires who began to dress him in his armor.
The Army found itself facing the dark forest two hours later, its gaping darkness staring back as them as the King began riding forwards.

((Super Meh Post...I don't know what to do with this character any more =_=))

It was only a matter of time until Aurelia knew she'd be detected but it happened quicker then she expected. Needless to say she already knew the culprit. A stray strand of clothing whipped quickly in the breeze causing unnecessary movement and noise. She wasn't sure which tipped off the Were's below her but it didn't matter. She quickly caught the strand and tucked it back into place. Making sure she kept herself silent and in the darkness.

After a few moments she realized that they were indeed searching for her or something out of the ordinary. For the most part she wasn't too worried. She planned ahead for such an event. Biding her time as the Were's continuously searched a rather small area presumably trying to pick up a scent or trail which she knew they wouldn't. Trying not to make light of the situation and find the one who was undoubtedly the alpha. Knowing her only chance of keeping the rest at bay long enough for her to get her 2 cents out was going to be to put the Alpha into a position of compliance.
So which one is it... All these wolves look alike!
Getting a little frustrated before she caught sight of one who seemed to be giving the orders through motion and gesture. Deciding to take the quick handed approach she quietly opened the pouch on her waist and reached for the paper bombs she had brought along with her. She knew timing would be important and the direction of the wind had to play it's part.

Judging by the strong downwind gust Aurelia decided it would be best to use a more accurate method to make the bombs hit their intended targets. Grabbing a few of her throwing knives she carefully slid the blade inward enough to avoid damaging the bomb but just enough to give her the ability to precisely throw the knife and in turn bomb where she wanted. Finding the Alpha where she wanted him a few moments later Aurelia let all hell rain down.
"ALPHA! We have some business to discuss!"
That should distract him for a few seconds!
Aurelia waited for the target to start turning in her direction before she impaled the area around him with the paper bombs. Knowing that the bombs would be split by the kunai and then picked up by the wind quickly she made sure they were spaced far enough to not only hinder the alpha but any others who would come close enough. Knowing that if he got out of the powders range before she got to him that it would spell certain disaster for her she had to be quick. Hoping that he hadn't moved she attempted to get a blade to the alphas throat with enough time to start talking before any others got involved. Leaping into the cloud of pepper and hoping that luck was on her side tonight.

"Good, that is what I like to hear," said Sebastian as he walked around Kaiden checking his armor and making minor adjustments. After several minutes he was satisfied and gave Kaiden a pat on the back indicating he was done. He was just about ready to leave when Natalie entered and gave her report. This was it, the big battle that would change everything. They would either be successful or be wiped out.

"Good prepare to attack. We will be joining the rest shortly. The goal is to keep the humans away from the castle in case the King recruited some nasty surprises. The main target is the King. Kill him and the rest of his soldiers are easy picking," said Sebastian grinning slightly. He would be the one to slay the human King. He just needed to scope out the defense around the King.

"You two, get ready. Hope you can keep up Kaiden," said Sebastian with a smirk leading the way out and getting ready to carry Alexia.

"Thirty years? You still look so young. I've heard whispers of you, I expected you to look much older," said Jericho watching Pendragon. The army had left earlier and Jericho couldn't help but feel for the army. They were in dangerous territory with little protection. He hated to think of the little chance they had in winning.

"Those people in the army are doomed aren't they? None of our priests went with them...Without magic or holy power...it's doomed," said Jericho quietly. He knew the beasts well having braved the forest many times to get to finding plants to add to his collection. He knew better than to be optimistic when it came to the Forbidden Forest.
