'I...I...' For once Ramella didn't know what to say. It sounded promising being her apprentice, but would she then have to be loyal to Ophelia? Ramella had never been loyal to anyone before. And if Ophelia was leader of hell in the war...was the other side heaven? It sounded likely but what would a vampire be doing in heaven?
After realising she still hadn'tt spoken yet she came to her decision and said those final words, 'I accept to be your apprentice.'

(I think she meant me disappearing figuratively from her focus)
With Ramella seemingly no longer in danger, Isha let the thought drift away and listened to the two talk. Isha studied Ophelia's responses and actions and came to the conclusion that she is able to invoke her emotions at will to manipulate and sway the emotions of those around her. When Isha thought about it, it wasn't surprising as it was a perfect method of persuasion for someone in her position. Manipulated or not, Isha would be able to help people if she joined her. Since Isha was a fallen, she couldn't very well rejoin Heaven, though she would never openly go against it. During her thoughts she had been in her own little world until Ramella's last words of a acceptance, when she blinked back to reality.

Ophelia caught eye of Isha's reaction and smiled , but it was only a quick glance.
She stroked the girl's hair briefly as she spoke.
" unfortunately, been my apprentice does require loyalty. The arts I can teach are powerful.
One would be foolish to give those secrets away to someone who would grow to be a potential enemy.
Ophelia continued to speak with a kind voice.
"i expect great things from you"
Ophelia was pleased with the young one's reply.
She stood again looking towards Isha who was the source of her original attention.

Seeing Ophelia turn her gaze back to Isha, it made her nervous to say the least. Her wings opened some then folded back. There was a somewhat long silence, so she decided to speak.
"Erm... yes?"
Her voice was curious yet soft as usual. Her mind began tossing ideas at her of what might happen next.
'What now?'

 "Well, I'd certainly like to see this enhanced power of yours. And as far as the water source goes, we have a beautiful lagoon towards the center of the island. Well, that and the ocean." Kestral stated, a twinkle filling his eyes "Why don't the both of you-"
Suddenly, Kestral was cut off by the doors opening once more and a young silver haired man poking his head in.
"Lord Kestral, Zindell and Rage are ready and waiting in the courtyard. The others are soon to follow." Said the man.
"Thank you Dydryn, gather the town around the circle stone. General Adrian will be there shortly." Kestral said, then turned his attention towards Adrian herself.
"Well, it appears that the exhibition will have to be postponed... unless..." Kestral began, cocking his head slightly to the left before he continued. "Why don't you go to the circle stone by yourself, whilst Morgance and I go to the lagoon?"

Ramella Silver Darkstar almost groaned in protest at the mention of her loyalty. Ophelia WAS the demoness of all demonesses (ish). But...something was stopping her from saying an immediate yes to the request. What would happen if Ophelia won the war? She would probably either kill her or make Ramella join her anyway.
But if heaven won? If heaven won and she was on Ophelia's side, they would kill her. Or would they forgive her? Propably not even if they did call themselves angels. Looking around the dark, damp room Ramella sighed. It would be tough but it was still help. And an immense help it was. Ophelia's help would make her feel feelings she never had. Understanding...control. 'I, Ramella Silver Darkstar promise to give you my full and only loyalty. I will help you when reqauested and follow when requested. My loyalty I exchange for you to mentor me and help me understand and nurture my powers. May ddeath and only death break this oath from me to you'
Ramella's eyes seemed to glitter and sparkle like a thousand diamonds and stars as she said this and put her whole heart into the oath. It was a binding oath and the words were said. Only moments later, Ramella began to regret it. 'I'm sorry....' telepathed Ramella to Isha

Ophelia was staring at Isha breifly just to see her reaction to her little friend's speech. Ophelia's expression was complacent She looked back at Ramella and knealt down again. Her expression changed to satisfaction. She reached out and touched Ramellas forehead like she was invoking something. Her voice again was symphonic yet this time felt more alluring than before.
Bound by blood
Us sisters of the flood
Bound this one
Let her will be done
The young vampire comes from near
In her path with me, she will not know fear
The road she walks shall be of chaos
Covered in blood of her enemy
She drinks the blood of eterrnity
She is, the marked vampire
Ophelia smiled a last time
"Last chance to back out"

From the gravity of the discussion Isha decided to answer in kind. Her expression becoming unusually serious.
"There's no need nor want for me to back out... As for loyalty... I cannot swear myself to you."
Isha kept her expression stern, showing an angel's resolve.
"I will however promise to aid any of your soldiers who are in need of help to sooth their wounds."
She held Ophelia's gaze trying her best not to falter in this resolute moment. When Ramella said her apology, Isha was confused and left her answer at the front of her mind, her expression not changing to indicate the conversation.
'Why are you sorry? Neither of us regret joining right?'

((@Isha: I think she's speaking to me cos of the vampire bit mentioned in her chant 3nodding ))
Ramella seemed to speak with dominance whilst a magical mist surrounded her. It was a faint mist but still glittered with power.
'I let the wind lull me to sleep,
the night I went to Hell,
And in my dreams your presence haunted me,
when sleep's black curtains fell.
And though I'm damned I pray to God that he may mend my soul
And save it from the ashes of the hearts that you have stole.
I look around with blurry vision
trying to make a hard decision
should I or should I not?
To live this life, or my soul to rot?'
'Dear Ophelia, those were the exact thoughts when you first appeared to me in my dream. After the dream you allured me and my instincts therefore automatically found you here. I would be your apprentice and give you my full loyalty as I have stated before. I will not back out and as the past haunts me I look forward to being under your wing'
Then Ramella began reciting a poem she had written. She almost said it in a sing-song voice. She had never said the poem out loud and it felt both frightening and exhilaratingb to do so.
'In my eyes
you would see traces of darkness
Outlines of loneliness
And slivers of passion unleashed
In my eyes
You would see a salty sea
The waves would be frightening
The black water inviting
In my eyes
You would see a haunting
So dark and deep
That many look away in fear
In my eyes
You would see a fire raging
Ablaze with stifled passion
Awaiting your arrival
Or small hope to control them
In my eyes
If you look in them
And not through them
You would see forever.
Ramella was almost trembling by the end of this. Then she crouched down in a warrior's bow. Hand over her heart in a fist. She didn't know why she did it. It just seemed like an automatic thing to do. The peaceful rawr in her mind was telling her she was entering someone's mind. Ramella didn't know who but thought it was probably Isha. It was such a light touch that no one would have felt it. The only word she heard was 'Adrian.'

My whole existence is flawed...Adrian's eyes focused on the man peeking into the room. She looked at Kestral, nodding at his suggestion that she and Morgance split up. Her verbal response, however, was interrupted by the young angel, who had become rather excited at mention of the lagoon.
"Oh, Adrian!" Her hands were clasped together in front of her face. "You don't mind going to talk to those guys alone, do you?" Her eyes were wide and puppy-like.
Adrian sighed and chuckled. "I don't see why not..." She stood from her seat and bowed to Kestral. "I guess this is where we split up for now. Morgance, I will see you shortly." She turned gracefully and followed the other man out of the chamber. Her armor tinkling, rather than clanking, as she walked.
Morgance waved goodbye to the General before turning to look at Kestral, head tilted and smiling wide. "So Kestral... Where's this lagoon of yours?"...You get me Closer to God.

Kestral nodded, but warned the young angel as she left the chamber.
"If there is any hostility, I trust that you can rely on your own strength to protect yourself. Should you need help, Zindell will undoubtedly guard you, he knows the gravity of the situation and will protect you if the need arises. Of course, confrontation is not likely to happen. I simply wish to prepare you for the worst." Kestral said, standing up hastily as he took Morgance by the hand, lowering her down from her pedestal before he relinquished his grasp.
"As far as the location of the lagoon, simply head south by south east of here, just a ways away from the beach. Follow me if you will." Kestral said enchantingly. He motioned behind him for Morgance to follow, then began walking out through the main doors not far behind Adrian.
