The Beginng Of The Battle Roleplay Chapter I: Blood Of The Pure Maiden


Leaves rustled in the cold night air as a gust of wind broke through the forest. What once would have been a beautiful garden was overgrown, vines entwined around trees and weeds choked the life out of nearby bushes. The only sign of inhabitants was a simple stone sarcophagus beneath a vine-choked tree. If there was any life in that place it would have reacted to the footsteps that lumbered through it. A figure stumbled towards the stone tomb. It raised a hand and brought it towards the sarcophagus, the fingers stopping a few inches away from their target. The figure pushed harder, exhaustion showing throughout its form but the hand would move no closer.

The figure whispered, “Good, a barrier. It will be in far better condition than I imagined.”There was a crackle and a flash of red light as the barrier dissipated and with some effort the top was lifted, the figure’s efforts rewarded by what lay beneath. The moon came out from behind a cover of clouds, illuminating the face of a pale man with fair hair.
“This body will not last much longer” he mused, gazing at what lay in front of him, “I must do it sooner than expected.” He cracked a smile as he stepped forward, his fake body worn.

''There is not much time, I must soon have a real body to survive. But to do that I need Abel.. hm and from the sounds he is still within the Vatican wall's'' Groaning he entered the chamber. to a temple long thought berried within these hills. A temple of renewal witch was suppose to grant new life to that who sought it.

The Crusink known as Caine slowly begin o to read the words written within a tongue barely used anymore Written in the blood of both human and vampire.

His hope of regaining a new body. He touched smiling widely at the carvings.''A blood of a pure maiden.'' he whisperd the image burned into his mind of a women heard to be with his brother.''The Star Of Hope, her blood is the key.'' he whispered wiping over the wall.''To my future and this worlds end.''

The Crusink sighed seating himself by the ruin breathing before opening his eyes, almost looking pure and innocent in thought before a light smile graced his pale lips.''We have a new target for now.'' he announced before standing slowly beginning to return to those whom traveled with him.''Esther Blanchett within the very walls of the Vatican.'' He laughed once more s despite himself.''I hope you are prepared for me Abel. I'm coming to claim whats mine.''

Within Place: The Vatican
City: Rome


Within side the walls of the Vatican a young nun sliver hair falling about her stood within the gardens a small vial filled with a potion well mixed clutched in her hands, her red eyes wavering with undecided pain as she stared at it for the longest time.

She had came here merely as a spy, told she need not kill anyone. Already she had been here up to four months and even though she had tried not to had drawn close to Father Abel and Esther now they wanted her to drug the young nun, to prepare her blood for some sort of sacrifice.

Her eyes waverd before looking upward to meet those under the cloak of the figure whom stood in front of her.

''Well?'' he spoke in a cold voice.''Will you do it?"

Rosa sighed bowing her head her face growing slightly cold against her inner pain.''As if I have much choice..'' she whispered.''Its either this or losing him right?'' she laughed bitterly thinking of her son.''Fine, I will do it. Consider it done Father Abel Nightroad, Esther and I head out for a mission at noon today, my first one in fact I will slip it into her tea.''

The figure nodded satisfied before leaping into the shadows leavening Rosa to stand there for moments eyes closed tears pouring down before heading inside, the vial tucked in her sleeve as she made her way to he room.

The young red haired nun was already up and moving her small bag packed and setting outside her door as she sighed softly, straightening her short red hair as she looked about.''Another day another mission.'' she said with a cheery smile as she looked about the empty Vatican hall before frowning some.'I wonder where Father Nightroad is and Sister Rosa?"'
She whispered as she looked each way.''Shouldn't they be up by now, knowing Father Nightroad he would not miss breakfast.'' Sighing she shook her head before making her way to the kitchen.
____________________________________
Tough. Strong-minded. Brave. This were all the words to desribe a certain woman who was so important to the Vatican. Her name was Caterina Sforza; she is a Cardinal for the Vatican, and also the Dutchess of Milan. With all this jobs, you would think she would have no time for herself, or to do other jobs. Well that's half right. Caterina also had her own small army named the AX.

It was a team built of many people with their own strengths and weaknesses. This team helped the world against Methuselahs and other things that roamed in the shadows of the city. But there was one person that frowned upon the whole thing, and said it was just a bunch of people wasting their time, effort, and the Vatican's money. Caterina was related to this person, and wished she wasn't. Francesco di Midici was his name and he was a cold hearted man, that only wished he could be the pope, but he was a b*****d's son, so it would never come to be.

"Just another day to fight those damned vampires. I have already lost so many of my special agents, and I'm just grateful that I still have as many as I do..." Caterina was speaking into her communicator to someone who was precious to her. This person lived in another place, and barely ever came to visit her.

"Yeah... Ok then, I will speak to you later." She smiled to the empty air around her, "Ok, Ok...bye now." Shutting off her communicator, Caterina took off her monocle and looked at her empty office. She was so used to people coming in and out asking for help and orders. "...Ughh..." Leaning forward, she set her forehead on her solid oak desk, and rubbed her temples that gave a great throbbing.

It was just to early for this, just for once she wished she could have a morning of some peace and quiet without something happening.

(Sorry for the long post)

Catrina rose her tired head from its resting place upon her round desk. Her face still tired yet slightly replaced with its normal solemn seriousness as she fought to regain her professional look.

Frowning at how worried Abel seemed to be. He always seemed to be wary at times . Her brows frowned slightly, concern rising. What could have triggered his nanobots though. Surely not a vampire. Right? ''What do you think it is Abel.'' she said quickly standing puling the door closed behind them.

He was suppose to be on a mission today but if this was a deep concern it would have to wait.

--------------------------------------------

Esther made her way to the kitchen, wondering f perhaps Sister Rosa and Father Nightorad had gathered their, lord knows with a stomach like what was on Abel she was surprised he did not make the kitchen his home.

She gave a small giggle as she turned the corner heading into the dining hall.
---------------------------------------

Rosa stood in the kitchen her eyes torn, filled with a slight look of sorrow as she looked at the vial held within her small hands. Trailing over the cup of tea that sat in front of her. She knew it was merely moments till Esther and Abel came down to meet for their mission in Albion.

She had to be quick, yet her heart would not allow her to do it. She did not hate Terrains. On the contrary she had grown fond of them in her years. But..if she didn't. Her son.

Her hands shook her eyes closed. 'Abel and Esther have became like family to me these last five months... expecting me A Methuselah as part of an Ax team....but...I have to do this.' Sighing she slowly slipped the liquid into the tea with a sigh. before mixing it in. Now int was only to wait for the two to come in.

(This is turing out nice.)

It was early morning Rosette was already up and walking about making sure all that was in the Vatican was in order. It had only been a few months sense she had been sent to the Vatican , mainly to maintain protection over Cardinal Forza but the Pope himself over the resent threats on his life, by an unknown person they had yet to identify.

Something she would spend her waking hour till it was solved. She slowly walked passed the kitchen pausing, eyes narrowing in disgust as she watched sister Rosa prepair a cup of tea. Hands bawling within her gloves.

'They send me here to protect them against a vampire and yet here one stands within the kitchen preparing tea...despicable.' she growled softly. 'How can they except the Vatican be safe while shes here.' Sighing she turned marching toward Catrina's office she had kept quiet long enough this matter had to be dealt with she would not work about a vampire trash
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A smirk came over his dark lips as he trailed over the buildings of Rome. Viewing the Holy Vaitcan from where he was deep within the shadows safe from the rising sun.

They were on the move, he could simpy tell from where he stood. Viewing the kitchen window. 'So she is falling through with it. 'he laughed a nod of satisfaction crossing his lips. 'The plan has set course all she must do now its to have the nun drink it then I come in, a posed assassin of the Pope, in truth though Ill be after This sister Esther.'

Catrina's eye brows raised along with her eyes taking in Abel fully. He was right she did not know this, after all of her years of knowing Abel he had never revealed this to her. A brother whom as well Crusink. Yet he was nothing like Abel. He hated both humans and Methusalh.

Her face took up it's normal look registering the information as she seated herself at her desk.'' SO I see.'' she said in a solo em voice. ''This information would have been better if it were delivered to me more sooner Abel, but I do understand some of our past is better left unspoken.'' she sighed feeling her reeling headache return.

She knew it was going to be a hard day, but she never expected this. They already had one problem on their hands how in Gods name would they handle a Crusink on a bloody killing spree.

''Sense when have you felt this?"' she asked pulling out a few things. If she could figure out how long perhaps she could pinpoint when this guy would attack and be at least slightly prepared. But whit things as they were and half the AX members busy she was not sure how. This was a hell of a Problem.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Esther made it to the kitchen door in time to see Rosette during her morning inspections. A sighing coming to the young nuns lips as she watched the blonde warrior of God glare coldly at Sister Rosa.

She knew the women hated vampires, and despised one being within the walls of the Vatican. But sister Rosa had shown nothing but full loyalty here in her actions. The Empress and sister Catrina had made a fine choice when choosing her. Yet there were those that still acted with hate.

'As I may have at one time if not for Father Nightroad.' she thought sadly before placing on a smile as she enterd. ''Good Morning Sister Rosa. I'm glad to see you already up.'' she chimed in happily.
_______________________________________________________

Rosa jumped slightly at sister Esther's sweet voice. She had been so busy focusing on the tea and on Rosette whoms glares she could feel. To sense Esther's approach. She staggered making it to the table before dropping the tray. ''Oh Sister Esther!'' she gasped wiping Hera ands. ''Forgive me I must not of heard you.'' She sighed. ''I was so busy thinking on the mission and on breakfast...'' Her words bit off as her stomach mixed up, stairng at the tea cup in he hand.

Before continuing noticing the nuns worried look. ''Im..s..sorry.. I know there are some that still dont like the idea of a Methuselah being ere, and how hard you and Father Nightorad have defend me. Thats why I made this as a thank you Would you like some.' 'She whisperd pointing at a chair and holding out the drugged cup of tea.
-----------------------------
Esther smiled, at her awkwardness reminding her so much of herself before nodding, touched by the other Nuns sweetness. ''Of course I would thank you Sister.'' she whisperd taking the cup of tea as she seated herself. Sipping some of it before frowning, then smiling softly. ''Its different but still wonderful What did you add to it?'' she asked softly before slowly begin to finish her glass.''
-------------------------------------
Rosa froze before smiling. ''Oh just some clover I found doesn't it taste wonderful.'' she smiled, hiding the sickening feeling she held as she watched the sister drink the drug into her body. Knowing what would happen.

Isaak watched as well smirking softly. he then faded away and reported to Cain. As the right hand of Contra Mundi, Isaak was not liked in the RCO yet he provided a valuable service.

"My lord, the plan is afoot." He whispered in the darkness knowing full well Cain could hear his every word. "Now to get that fool Abel out of the way, or better yet, on our side..."

____________

Abel sighed heavily. "Since I heard the name Contra Mundi...it fits Cain...Enemy of the World...." Abel sighed in disgust and his eyes flashed red. "I will kill him if hes alive....promise or no..." he meant the promise never to kill again.
