Ash was angered at her comment. 'Had she proved herself sooner, I would have had more respect for the youngling, and think me not a foolish newborn!' he said angrily. 'Neko may be the Elder here, but I command myself. She can only suggest my actions. I will not be controlled by anyone, save two, and you know damned well who those would be. The Father of Lies, and ...Him.' he grimaced at the mention of I Am. EVen the simplest name burned his tongue.
'I have plenty reason to kill this human. You may learn of it soon. Besides, I have plenty knowledge of the human's weakness... and I surpass it all.' He finished, his arrogance burning through her, metaphorically.. He then moved along with her question, calming down, retying his ponytail. 'As for the dart... it seemed to make his body weaken, and he passed out... however... he morphed into a hybrid wolf creature, and drove away.'

Myythren Myyth smiled at the mention of the fiddle, while going after Omki and grabbing his arm. Pulling him into a slightly darkened corner, she glanced around to ensure no one was near enough to overhear her. "I'm going to need to leave in about an hour, I have a friend coming in at the airport, but ther is bigger stuff we need to worry about. My elder think the hunters are killing more of our people then they have ever before, and they're plotting something. I've warned Will and gotten my stuff from hunters......And Will's given me a letter saying I've never had dealings with them. Though I think that would raise more questions then it solves...." Omki looked at her shocked. " YOu can't leave yet, my mom have been dieing to meet you and talk to you!" He Whispered. " Pluse my dad want to play a tune for you..." He siad Patrick looked over at them. " What a matter talking of deals with the deivl?" He asked with a slye smile on his face Omki ran across the room and punched his borther in the face. " SHUT UP!!!! MYYTH AND I ARE TALKING!!!!" HE yelled and walked back to her. " Sorry damn does he get on my nerves....." He muttered. " Any way how long are you going to be gone?" HE asked quitely.

Willow chuckled softly at his anger, however, she narrowed her eyes realizing where his comment had come from. Old blood instincts made her instantly throw up mental blockades, effectively veiling her mind to an eerie blankness. "Yet throwing a tantrum over a mere thought that was not your right to hear. If you'd stop considering me a youngling, then perhaps I'll stop considering you a foolish newborn." Her expression lightened enough to give him a fanged smile, though she winced at the mention of both the Dark One, and the Creator."I am strictly neutral, and I dance to no melody but my own. However, if it so happens the Creator or the Dark One adds a rhythm to my melody, then it is not my place to ignore it. Ah, but this is old talk, and I'd rather not go into remiscing of those days where demons walked this earth without much to fear," she sighed sadly. She missed the freedom, that much was true, and perhaps one day when this city began to lose her interest she'd return to the open fields of country and the immortals she had left behind.
"Plenty of reasons to kill, you say? Revenge being one of them no doubt...and revenge is a poor excuse and an even poorer reason," she smiled wryly. What an interesting demon he had turned out to be. "Surpass it all you say? You still have the flaw of human arrogance it seems. Underestimation was the mistake of the British while America fought for its freedom, I believe. You still have part of a human mind, Ash. No one, not even the Dark One can escape human flaw. Why else would these lands not belong to the Immortal?" She yawned, tapping the top of the bar lightly, and pulling a side a bartender to get her drink refilled. She frowned at his answer to her last question, and grabbed the refilled glass from the bartender as it was set down in front of her.
"If he had passed out, then how could he drive away? Are you saying that he awoke soon after and drove off? Or are you saying it was the...sniper who turned to this wolf creature?" She shifted in her seat. If what he was saying was he had started a fight with a lycan, she might not feel so comfortable sitting beside him. They were her cousins at the least, and her half brothers at most, so it only felt natural that she would not hurt one of them unless...another situation occured as it had in the alley. Her hand absentmindedly went to brush her left side and she winced.

Ash laughed angrily, she had turned out to be quite the opposite of what he had expected, but he would continue to toy. 'Flaw of human emotion... That's where you are wrong. I am the basis of arrogance, the lord of vanity. Those who brag bow to me.' he said. Patrons be damned, he would have her know who he was.
'You see, I am not Ash Tarotte, but the greatest of the Generals of Hell's legions! Astaroth, Lord of Vanity!' As he cried out his true name, his illusory mask dispelled, and his wings shot out of his back. his hair fell down to his back, and his scales shot out of his skin. he grew a tad in height, and his horns jutted out from his forehead, glimmering in the dim light. A darkened halo began to dimly appear over his head. His feet went from humanoid to draconic, with an extra joint.
His white clothes vanished, and in their stead was a simple black dress, not unsimilar to a Roman battle skirt. 'I ruled men's hearts and turned them from the Creator! Just as The Father of Lies turned me and my brethren from the Creator! Those who I ruled trembled at my name! They have forgotten my name now, and I blame Teslae! His blood will end!' His voice resonated beyond echoing, becoming burnt into memory.
He decided to stop showing off, though it was a hard choice to make, and put his illusory mask up again. 'As to who it was that morphed, it was Teslae. I did not know of his Lycanthrope until it happened. As I escaped from harm's way, his human form fell to the ground, and transformed into a wolf hybrid, picking up the dart that had reflected from my scales.

"Not more than an hour or so. I can bring her back here, and I'm sure your mom would love to see my dress, which Sophia is bringing." Along with gods know what else she thought. Sophia was an arms runner after all. Plus she suspected she'd be bring a few people along.....
"If I could sty right now, I would. But if I leave her on the tarmac, there may not be an airport if the vamps get have heard about this. She worked with me on one of the worst siberia projects with me, a few years back."

Omki sighed nad kissed her softly on the nose. " Then go then... just... don't be too long my Mom is going to be bugging me about you right when you leave.." He said ans sighed. " Plus it's not too often that my dad brings out his fiddle and plays for people... He's pritty good..." Omki said with a proud smile.

"He'll have to be very good to be a mrak against you." Myyth leaned forward to give him a quick kiss before heading for the door. She did pause for a second to speak to his mother.
"I have to go pick my dress up from the airport. Coould you give me a hand with the fitting sometime later?" When she nodded Myyth gave her a warm smile before leaving the bar.

Omki looked at Myyth dum founed and smiles. " Hehehe I Love that woman...." He said to himself. Yuka looked at her shocked and smiled hugging her. " For my dauther to be, I will do anything..." She said. Patrick watched her as Myyth left. He couldn't put his finger on it but there was something off about her. He finally shruged it off and sat down at the bar and asked ofr another water.

~ Eihwa strolls cautiously through the streets of New York and stumbles upon what appears to be a bar. Deciding she could use a drink, and assuming that the building shelters only mortals, she pushes through the door and her eyes immediately fall upon the tables. Eihwa fights the urge to seek refuge on a choice few seats situated near the deeper shadows and her feet carry her to the bartop. Her swathe of perception follows her, enveloping her figure in an invisible sphere of defense and she takes a seat. So far she's minding her own business, but she can't help but touch upon some of the meandering conversations that surround her. Eihwa is wearing a pair of slotted black pants, a sleeveless top, and a vest that substantially hides the dagger strapped against her left breast - over her shirt. The sheath around her thigh is empty, as the hunting knife it homes is in the bouncer's posession. (Presuming there is one, and such standards exist for this bar) She chopped her hair earlier that week, finding it to be a burden, and it is now a mere inch and a half long. Her hands rest atop the polished wood, a varnish that had been scuffed over the years with names carved into it's surface. It smells of cleaning products and booze, with the occasional twinge of cigarette smoke, and her nostrils welcome it quietly. ~

As he continued bragging, she bared her teeth, wishing he would shut up, and that she had never made that comment. Her eyes darted around the room, scanning the faces, though despite he had gotten a bit of attention, she didn't see anyone moving towards the door. Then she picked up movement from behind her, and immediately jumped from her seat, reached into her trenchcoat and pivoted to face the stranger who moved. As she caught sight of whoever it may have been running, something flew from the hand that had been digging in the trenchcoat moments before (the arm now fully extended) A knife embedded itself in the back of the man's neck, pierced through to the other side, and he immediately fell to the floor.
She growled loudly, and turned her head to look around. Everyone now seemed to be avoiding looking in their general direction, and the bartender had moved calmly to get rid of the man's body before blood began pooling on the floor. She looked to the bar, and noticed that in her haste to stop the man her drink had been knocked over. Along with that, her wound seemed to have reopened from her quick movement, blood now soaking the side of her left pantleg. "Oh bloody hell!" she yelled, and angrily sat down, wincing a bit, and turned her glare to Astaroth. "You'll be damn lucky if no one else slipped through a window while my head was turned. I don't like the thought of being at a hotspot for a hunter raid," she coughed, raising her hand to her mouth to hide the blood that came from her wheezing, and to wipe it away. She seemed to calm from her fit of rage rather quickly.There was, however, a slight glaze in her eyes from fighting the long controlled blood-lust.
"Now that I'm awake...Astaroth, is it? I'm not fond of those who lie to me, but I suppose I've done worse" she sighed and continued. "So, this Teslae, he took the dart with him? Is it possible that he hired the sniper to shoot just in case something went wrong and he lost? Why else would he take the dart..." she looked over to her spilled drink, now dribbling onto the floor and gave a look of plain distaste, or perhaps a grimace, for in the next moment she had pressed her hand firmly to her left side, feeling slightly dizzy. "Also, if you plan showing yourself like that again, could you please do it somewhere a little less crowded? I don't know if you were trying to instill the fear of God in me, or what, but it didn't work. " She let out a slow shaky breath, and continued in a quiet mutter. "Only three beings can do that."

Astaroth laughed. 'You truly are quite a creature.' he said. 'Why would you fear a Hunter raid? They're only weakminded mortals.' He smirked, and continued. 'I didn't lie, I used another name. A name I thought I would be more safe going by. It appears I gave away my safety. Not that I care. I could wipe out legions of angels, I can sure as Hell kill pitiful mortals.'
He spun around, watching the crowd. 'I wasn't trying to instill the fear of anyone in you. I'm no longer on His side, I'm not blessed with that ability.' he grimaced, and continued. 'I'll show my form where I please, thank you.'
'As to the mortal Teslae, I don't have the slightest clue as to why he'd taken the dart. Perhaps he would use it against me next time we meet. I don't know and hardly give a damn. I'll just block the damned thing anyways.'

Willow chuckled, though it seemed more of a sad noise than a joyful one. "If only they were just mortals. Remember that not all who "become" Immortal are happy about it. Some seek revenge, and others only wish to annhialate those who give their kind a bad name. Once upon a time there had been a man who could have only been God's right hand, he was that powerful. He slaughtered many of our kind, and created a band of elite demon hunters that nearly wiped all of the demons off this continent," she said darkly. For a moment she seemed to nearly fall off the stool from dizzying blood loss, and so she reached out to grab the countertop to steady heself, and continued. "And it wasn't just mortals who sided with him. There were lycans, vampires, even a few strong Demons who wanted to clean up the disgraceful mess that had become our race. Although that...man...is now dead, and the Demon Hunter Masters disbanded, I'm certain that there are still Immortal hunters on this earth." She shook her head, and gave a weak smile, noticing some of the tension from the bar-goers slipping away at Astaroth's words.
"Whatever you'd like to call it, Astaroth. Perhaps next time you should keep that large head of yours attached to your shoulders instead of floating up in the sky. Being levelheaded helps in this city, it seems," she smirked, silent mirth evident from the twinkle in her eyes. Though that was gone after she pressed her hand harder against the wound in her side, trying to stop the bleeding. Thank god she wasn't on a period. She'd probably've been dead from blood loss long ago if not for that. "If you have no clue as to why he took it, then I can't say that I would know anything. Be careful, still. If not launched from a gun, its possible he might use it like a dagger. If this Telsae did imprison you, then he obviously knows a weakpoint, and could use the same weakpoint again." She noted that the bleeding in her side had stopped, but still, she kept her hand firmly over it to prevent another tear in the scabbing as she heaved for breath. If she were to get caught in a fight any time soon, she might as well lay down in a ditch and die. But no, that wasn't the way of the Empire, and she knew that all too well.

'I have no weakness.' Astaroth said sharply. 'The mortal had friends, allies, many of them. They imprisoned my guards in the same manner. Though I assume they've all been destroyed by now. I could only hope my three advisors still live...' he commented.
'But unfortunately, I'll have to speak of them another time. I bore of this place. I think I'll track down Neko. She seems like the sort one could have fun around if he stayed long enough.' he said, smirking, and finishing his drink.
'Get some rest. I wouldn't want to lose a pretty woman like you to the Hunters. Plus you're injured, you'll need to heal.' He patted her sholder gently. 'You seem like a nice type, as long as you don't rub my scales the wrong way, we could get along.'
He rose, and started to walk away. 'We'll meet again soon, I assume.'
((Exit))

Willow rolled her eyes, and slumped against the counter. "No weaknesses, my a**," she muttered, watching him leave. He just proved one weakness, and she'd be damned if she'd let him keep waltzing around like a fool thinking he was invincible. Perhaps she'd teach him a lesson the next time their paths crossed, before he got himself killed with his own logic. A few minutes after he left, Willow slid off her stool, and hobbled carefully out, planning on heading back to the hordes to rest.

Driven by curiousity, Lain stepped softly into the establishment, and she walked to the bar, her booted feet muffled, and the broken lilin chain that was attached to her collar drifted oddly behind her. She glanced around at the empty place, and she closed her eyes, searching for a person nearby.
