Welcome to Gaia! ::

*When you enter into the manor. Is off to the high up cold mountains. The cold only lasts a little while until you get inside the manor. Through out the manor is heated with lava from the mountain. The floor is made of clear glass and beneath as see from water and fish to the dead bodies of the dead. Either way this is the home of the Darken Family and Firestarter Clan before times of war.*

THE MANOR GROUNDS:
The Manor rests on grounds of family DeSeer technically. It rests just about the limits of the city of Durem. The high mountains watch over the smaller villages that rest below. Climbing up the mountain is a little harder then it use to be. The manor rests a long thin road that is a mile high. No care nor motorcycle can make it up there unless you know the back way up. Once past the forest and the path way above you meet the house of the Darken Family. The Mansion looks more like something from the bayou of the south. Two pillars are set before the opening of the two large double doors. Above the double doors a giant eye appears at the door. Those who are not of blood the doors become a large mouth and will swallow trust passers. The eye will scan the person and there aura to tell there intent. Hostile or non hostile creature. Then once scanned the doors will open and allow the person inside.


WHEN YOU WALK IN:

As you enter you see a double stairway of vermillion carpet climbs up to the second floor of the manor. Between the two stair cases is a statue of Drenia Darken being stabbed by the Male Isaaru.. Founder and Great Grandmother of the family and Great Grandfather.. The left door on the 1st floor leads to the kitchen and then the basement/ lab from there. The door on the right leads to art/library/ history of the family lines. Behind the statue is two double doors leading to the ball room. Old fashioned and done in red silk for the currents. The room is surrounded by chains and on the floor 4 inch cracks that lead into a straight line towards the throne. Above the ceiling are bodies and chins lacking bodies. Seems there blood drips into the cracks and feeds the house itself. Oddly enough you realize the house is alive itself.

Second floor: Rooms to sleep in (got lazy)

Basement: The lab (explain later.

Other things: (later there is a lot.)

Security and History of the House.
Darken Manor’s Home is really a Demon itself. Using human sacrifices to make magical energies. The house is basically organic with a non organic shell. It speaks and only speaks drow and abyssal. It doesn’t bother with common langauges.

Magics:

Lava Blast: The mansion has to be near mountains. It sucks the magma from the mountain as the demonic house turns it inside itself. Slowly the magma will form into a solid ball large and concentrated. Using the magma as a form of attack against any who dare come near. Even good to shoot far distances.

Devour: The house will eat those who come to close. The entire inside of the house is the stomach of the foul beast. The most prized weapon of the Darken family is the living demon that controls the house. What makes the house not turn against the family has been kept a secret for millions of years.

Electro-magnetic- A blasting orb that forms around the building. The blast sets off any electrical items, weapons, etc. Radios and such no longer keep there signal which makes electronically communication impossible.

************************************************************************************

Ever since the ritual the house is swarming with undead and demons. The place is crawling with horrors none has ever seen. Some who have walked on the grounds have spoken of loved ones being torn apart by the trees that grow around the manor.

Drider: Driders are drow like beings that are humanoid from the waist and above. Looking like any normal drow with dark skin and pale white hair. Below is the bulbous spider underside with spidery legs to support there odd form. They are chaotic evil creatures and serve the Darken family after the ritual was caste. Groups of three walk around the area. Some groups are lost within the woods.

Half-fiend: These beings are mixed humanoids with demons. When demons would come to the surface and pillage villages and rape there victims. Sometimes they left there evil spawn on the surface or they would bring them down with them to the abyss. Now these abandoned demonic souls now serve as the army of the Darken Family.

Harpy: These cackling humanoids with bird like wings. They have no arms though they have claws at the end of there legs. They circle about the manor some swooping down catching there prey. Flying into the air and tearing it apart there new meal. Sometimes they enjoy picking up victims and dropping them from high areas to watch them splatter and hit the ground.

Hellhounds: Wild demonic dogs that roam about the forest around the Darken Manor. These dogs seem to be normal until you see the flames dancing about there tails and inside there eyes.

Broodswarm: The messengers and eyes of Darken Manor. These little things are nasty looking. Round fat balls of fat with two small horns and a set of wings that patter as fast as they can. Just to keep the fat little bastards in the air. They don’t know very many spells for they are only useful for messaging and watching the areas. They are in groups and usually report to Half-fiend and Drider patrols.

Succubus: there are only 2 the two twins. The rest is unknown.

Greater Demon Uthumect: unknown.

Damn it all...

*He flipped through the books as he growled standing in his lab. The smell of courpses reaked the lab as he started working on various mortals.. He stoped as he looked over at a young male that was already drained drie of his vitae. The bowl that collected the blood slowly dripped into the cracks of the floor. As the blood flowed through out the house*

Still not enough... The awakening is about to occur and stil nothing. Once that ex-angel is slain. That will be the end of the darken family. I will not let those halfbreeds live in our place.

*He continued to flip through the books as he listened to the sounds of certin screams a human male wake. His eyes twitched in anger as he heard the screams over and over*

SHUT UP or else I will have a new toy for the nigh... got me?

*Slowly moves up to the front doors... He looks over his shoulder and enters... He makes his way slowly up to the statue and gives it a mock salute, then heads into the ballroom...* Well, this is interesting... *Catches a few drops of blood in his gloved left hand and licks it.. He then exits the ballroom and heads upstairs to the library...* Hmmm... *Runs his fingers along the books as he walks a little inside... He then pulls one on the family history and reads a little about that before putting the book back and walking out of the library... Not wanting to prod any further, he walks out the front door and off into the night...*

.... *he left the manor shortly he most likely knew where to find the man who entered his home*

*sinks into his shadow after not getting invited in..*

a shadowy figure approched from the air, giving off a faint glimmer of a golden hew from the moonlight. Nai flapped her wings wildly as she sobbed silently, clutching her staff tight against her chest, leaving only a small trail of glimmering tears in her wake. she had no destination in mind, no where to go, so she just let her wings carry her where they wanted. she was panting heavily, having not givin herself a break for a long time. up ahead she spots what looked to be a deserted mansion. nai swoops in and lands on the roof, sitting down with her staff next to her and her arms around her knees. she wraps her golden wings and long golden scaled tail around her body. after a few moments she began to dwindle on recent thoughts. she shudders and began to sob uncontrolably, causing the moonlight to glimmer off her golden tinted skin

nai simply sat there, clutching her wings tighter around her body and shaking a little as her small form was overcome with silent sobs. her tears slowly slid down her cheek and ran along her leg before dripping silently onto the rooftop

she lets out a small gasp when she hears him and reaches for her staff. seeing it was him she calmed slightly but scootched away from him a little
"v...valdris....its you.......i...it's been....a long time..sorry......i...*sniffles*..got your letter...."
