Dimitri sat up in his bed rolled out of it and grabbed the warhammer he hid under the cot. He crouched their a moment the hammer held firmly in his hands in a defensive position. Dimitri was breathing hard. He looked around his house from his crouch before letting out a deep breath and letting go of the hammer with his right hand. The heavy head fell too the ground. The head had two different punctions, on one end was the flat hammer surface ment too crush helmets in and break bones. But the other end had a spike that was slightly curved and was as long as a man's forearm. The purpose of the spike was too peirce through chest and shoulder plates. Dimitri rubbed his face with his hand "Just a dream...just...a bad dream..." He muttered too himself over and over again in Russian, the launage most comfortable too him.
He rubbed the back of his neck, wipping away the beads of cold sweat that had formed on it. He slid the hammer back under the cot. He walked too the kitchen and took abit of water from a bucket and wipped his face as he went over the dream in his mind.
He was alone in a suit of armor that the constripts in Russia wore. Just a simple helmet with a nose guard and a metal chest plate, the rest was covered in heavy leather. He hald his hammer in his hands tightly. It was a full moon in the night sky, and he could tell he was in a forest because of the patches of moonlight that were scattered everywhere. He heard a russtling in a nearby bush and jumped. Some sort of shadow slinked out of the bushes, He couldn't tell what it was due too the lack of proper light, as well the creature had it's back too the moon so the light only shone down on it's back. The creature let out a feline like roar and lunged. Out of fear Dimitri swung his hammer, the hammer moved through the creature never touching it, as if the shape weren't their. It grabbed his throat and pulled his head back, readying too bite into him.
This had been the point he had rolled out of his cot. He set his hands down on the counter and noticed his left hand, was shaking abit. I need too stop working so hard...I'm having nightmares again He thought too himself. He went back too his cot and lyed down again.

Madeline looked at him in interest as he explained about how he got carried away. Looking up at a portrait of her Father on the wall, she sighed. Normally at night she sat in his very chair and thought about things, or practiced her magic, but not wanting to sound boring, she made something up. "Er... At night, either I go hunting, or, I explore the woods around here. You'd be surprised at what you could find." Trying to think of something more to say, she smiled, and asked. "Do you have magic of any kind?"

"I can somewhat influence people, it's a weak sort of hypnotism, I never really got a chance to practice it, and I discovered it on a deer...I'm not sure how well it would work on something humanoid. That's all I know of, I doubt there could be more." Garret replied looking at Madeline attempting to make eye contact, seeing if she would get dizzy as the deer did.
Garret had learned this ability at the very start of his vampirism. After he had awoken in the forest he only sat there, he had gone back to sleep, thinking it would help the pain in his stomach, not realizing he was a vampire. His body felt great, but he was hungry, but it was an odd sensation, not that of hunger. Three days later he awakened again to a deer sniffing him, he was hungry by then and after staring at the deer for a few moments he asked "Why don't you just lay down and die so I can eat you?" And the deer almost instantly laid down he reached over and it was dead, still warm though, it's heart had stopped pumping blood. Garret then reached over and instinctively bit it's neck and sucked out it's blood, it was then he realized he was a vampire.

Madeline watched Garret as he spoke, as far as ske knew, no one in the village had the same power as him. "That's interesting..." She trailed off as their eyes met and a strange feeling came over her. Blinking slowly and looking into the fire, she was relieved as the feeling passed.
[[Writer's block... Sorry about how short it is.]]

Alright, so the success with the deer was because it's simple minded, not because the power is at all strong. Garret thought seeing the result of his minor hypnotism. "So, what kind of magics can you perform?" Garret asked, very interested, the closest thing to magic he had ever seen was his minor hypnotism. He was somewhat hoping for a demonstration.
((heh, me too, I wasted all my creativity redoing my avi xD what do you think?))

Madeline smiled at his question. "I can create small illusions. For instance..." She closed her eyes and focused for a second, then, opening them again, her iruses both glowed a bright red. "I have fun with this one when I'm hunting. Scares the villagers right out of their socks." She chuckled before closing her eyes for yet another second, and when she opened them, her eyes were there original colour.
[[ xD I like it!]]

((I'm probably gonna change it again, I found three donation letters from 06-07 in my inventory and opened some))
"I'll bet that's fun, I've never tried my power on a regular human. Maybe I'll try it out tomorrow on one I don't like." Strake stated smiling sinisterly, feeling just comfortable enough around Madeline to openly make a statement such as this. He tried to avoid staring into her crimson eyes, but it was so tempting to do so. He was curious as to how they were crimson, was that an effect of her changing? He was completely unaware of the color of his eyes, he hadn't looked into a mirror since he had lived in his village, as a human, and when he was a vampire there he wouldn't dare look. Finally he gave into his desire to look. "Your eyes are such a stunning crimson color, was that an effect of the change or were you born with that color?" Garret asked almost feeling like an idiot.

"Well I suppose that depends really, I sort of go back and forth between the two. My family is here but I have a business and resting place in the village," She tilted her head and smiled. "I suppose it ould be qualified as dual citizenship."
As she spoke, she shifted shape again, into a little ball of darkness with wings and no real form. Flicking her wings out, she began to bob around jerkily before coming to a rest on the lynx's head. Her puny pixie hand tugged on the furry ear to get his attention.
"You're too badly injured to keep going about the way you are, especially with those damn goblins mucking te place up. So come on, let's go back into the village and you can heal at my place alright?"

James leaned against the locked door of the smithery shop. It was cold and his feet were frozen in his boots, and the snow was settling on his expensive grey suit coat. He knocked again but was starting to doubt that anyone was home. "G-Gods."
He stuttered and closed his eyes shuttering. He wrapped his arms around himself and breathed deeply, rubbing his arms to try and gain a little heat.
"Come on." he had been there for a few hours, but did not feel like he could walk home with such frozen feet. Or he would surly fall down and freeze to death. It was a bad choice to come here to late at night, or maybe so early in the morning.
{sorry guys i've been trying to find a place to jump in}

The Lynx smiled at her answer. He had been concerned about the Fae that had lived with humans, in the way they saw the world. "That is good to hear."
His eyes brightened as he watched she turned to a pixie and fluttered about. The forest surrounding the had a quieter magic but it was just as charged here as anywhere else. As the pixie landed between his ears and invited him to her home in the village he got up and tested his injured foot. It was still bleeding somewhat and still very tender, but he could walk on it lightly with out to much trouble. "I'll be a slow but if you lead the lay I'll follow and keep us safe."

Lenore looked about, trying to get her bearings. Truth told she hadn't thought about it when she took off towards the sound, she simply went. So she was sincerly hoping she wasn't lost. After q few seconds she recognized where she was and pulled his right ear like she would a horses reigns. Of course, her size effected her strength, so who knew if he even felt it.
"Hi-ho silver!" She laughed. "I'll give your ears a little tug when you need to turn."

The Lynx chuckled, "If you insist."
Lynx started making his way along. Snow form on the ground before his paws hit the ground and dissipated behind him as he went. No sound came from his movement as he walk. He paused periodically to let his foot rest a moment before continuing on.

Lenore let out a little sigh.
"I'm sorry. If I could, I'd totally try and heal it up for you, or numb the pain, or whatever it is other fae can do. But as you can probably tell I'm a bit of a blacksheep."
the fae looked about herself for anything interesting, but there wasn't much around to tell the truth. Some trees that should have been blossoming were looking decidedly dead in the dicidous density, and she wondered what on earth was happening.
"Crazy weather eh?"

Dimitri heard a knock at his door. He sat up, who in the world would be up this late? he thought.
Abit suspicious he pulled his warhammer out from under his bed.He gripped it with his left hand and keeping it behind his back.
He got out of bed and slowly walked too the door and slid the bolt clear of the door. He yanked open the door quickly inwards. He reconized the person who fell in as someone from Lenore's shop earlier.
He quickly pulled the man too his feet using his free right hand and arm, muttering apoligies in russian as he closed the door. He pulled the man with him as he walked over too the fireplace. He pulled the heavy blanket off the dead coals and got a small fire going. "I'm so soory about that, I'm a heavy sleeper, as well no one walks around this late at night since an incedent a while back...I'll get you some blankets" He said and grabbed the heavy blankets he saved for winter.

Madeline imitated Garret's smile and spoke. "That'll make a great first impression. Almost as good as mine, but I'd rather not go into what I did my first day here... It's not a very pleasent story." In truth, the first thing Madeline did upon her arrival was tear three of the townspeople apart... Then, much to the horror of the others, she drank from all of them right there in the middle of the street. It was one of the reasons that it had taken her longer, compared to the other non-humans, to be accepted into the village. That image of her had been burned into the mind of three generations.
Garret's next words caught her by surprise and pulled her out of her reminiscing. Now, although flattered by the question, a slight frown appeared on her face. Madeline knew the crimson colour in her eyes had come with the vampirism, but she couldn't remember her birth colour. Turning back towards the man, she spoke. "My eyes turned this colour after I was changed..." She trailed off with a sheepish expression on her face. "I'm not quite sure what colour my eyes were before."
