Aidan was surprised at how unsurprised by his pressence Destiny was. Walking into the apartment he saw Yuuki standing by a couch.
After sitting down himself he smiled.
"Of course I remember Yuuki. And as too the shat brings me across the big wet thing is this."
Slowly he pulled an airtight container from his bag and handed it to Destiny. It was a diary page that had been found in ruins thought to be an ancient vampire base in Romania.
"I figured you of all people would know something about this so called god that they were looking for."
Leaning back into the couch he streatched his arms up over his head and looked back at Yuuki.
"So tell me Yuuki is she staying out of trouble?"

Yuuki smiled quickly, "Oh, I know Dest." She silently watched as Destiny went over to the door, and opened it to reveal Aidan, in all his trenchcoat glory. Why they walked in she leaned on the edge of the couch, as the two sat down on the couch together. When he acknowledged her presence she nodded back to him, smiling ever so slightly.
She was surprised that Aidan had come across another one of those diary pages. They must have been scattered all over the world, but all of them seemed to be coming together now, from all across the globe, to New York. A chill quickly ran down Yuuki's spine. The agthering of the pages could only mean one thing, and it wasn't all that good.
She answered Aidan once he had adressed her, with a small chuckle, sending a quick look to Destiny behind Aidan on the couch.
"She's been quite well Aidan, keeping herself out of trouble as much as the lead hunter can I suppose. We've been having some trouble on our end though, we have a couple more pages like these, and the leeches are moving in some way we're not totally sure of yet. It's going to get busy soon to say the least." Turning her attention back to Destiny she asked the question that had been hanging over the room.
"That's one of the missing pages isn't it? One of the ones that we encountered..." she looked over at the clock. "yesterday morning."

Looking at the page Destiny sighed.
"No, this is a compleatly different one. The others from yesterday are locked up at headquarters as far as I know. Aidan, have you been able to read it?"
Destiny looked at him hopefully.

Laughing Aidan took the page from Destiny.
"Did you forget so much about me that you don't remember what my native language is?"
Clearing his throat he looked down at the page, and his expression turned serious.
"As far as I can tell it is part of an ancient prophecy. It is in vamparic Romanian so bear with me here."
Scanning down the page he mummbled to himself.
"I can garantee that it talks of something forbiden is to happen that will end either the war between humans and vampires or will end the world. I am also pretty sure that is says something about a soul merging. Other than that I looks like a bunch a gibberish, even for a vampire. It was written very hastily."

"Great, the whole end of the world thing is just peachy. Yuuki do you think you might be able to get anymore information from this page? I am drawing a giant phsycic blank on this one."
Standing up she took the page back from Aidan and handed it to Yuuki. She started to rub her temples from a little headache that started before Yuuki had gotten there. She was very glad to see Aidan again, but she could not get over the fact that her mind kept on drifting to a compleatly diffierent pair of dark eyes.

Yuuki was just having a chocking night to say the least. This one little sheet of paper basically predicted the end of the world, or something like it at least. The Soul merging was what scared her the most. A foribidden technique, it invloves physically leaving your body to take residence in another, and the two merged together. That was the violent way, there was also said to be another that had never been documented beforem how two souls, would just become one, out of common goals, or other some such. Yuuki had never been able to study much on it, it was never in her field of interest...
Hearing Destiny's comment she replied: "Well, I might be able to... I don't know. I don't know much Romanian at all, but I might be able to get something out of it." Taking the page when Destiny handed it over to her, she scanned it quickly, using some wind magic to quickly scan the page for any residues of any kind. Closing her eys and placing he rhand above the page, she quietly began to look over the page in her minds eye. Wind magic could do many things, and one thing was able to pick up residues from left over emotions and be able to understand aspects of what was written down. Because language was just all word that are really just constructs based on different wind sounds, if one was powerful enough they could use the wind's own magic to translate parts of text and language, but it was never perfect and it was the wind itself you would whisper the answers in her mind.
Gasping quickly after 10 minutes or so (this tooka lot of concentration), she opened her eyes back again. "Destiny, I think I was able to get a little more out of this than Aidan could. This is a form of prophesy, some ancient vampiric seer could have done it a long time ago. It describes today's world, and how the hunters, led by fate, and the vampires, will battle in the city of lights. It describes how the people of magic and those of changin bodies will choose sides as well, though it seems to give off that the sides will be pretty evenly split. It describes a little more of this battle, but no specific time or place, though I can it describes something important happening on the winter solstice, though I meet be wrong, and what I don't know. Later in passing in mentions the merging souls of the chosen ones of the races, and it is this merged soul that will either lead the races to peace or war. It's quite vague to say the least, but this is fortelling our future, and the possible battle to come. It gives me chills to say the least..." She looked up to see the reactions of Aidan and Destiny.
((Sorry if I choose the wrong date - I thought the best day would be sometime in winter where the nights are long so the vampires could fight longer than they could normally. I can change it if it's too far away.... When does this occur anyway? (actually is not completely sure.....)))

Keeping an eye on the clockdirectly overhead, waiting for his shift to end, which was only in about an hour. He had had the easy shift for the rush slowed seeing as how it was time for most to eat. Jigantro thought of how the humans were slowly being drained of lifely nectar. A small smile came to his face as he thought. A loud crash stopped him as the doors of the meeting hall opened, but only some messengers came rushing out.
"Well as long as it's none of the higher ups, I will be fine." he said silently to himself. He kept his mind empty of most things to keep his privacy, he dared not think of what he was about to say, just to be on the safe side. "Will that clock move?"
After a short while of waiting, he heard a loud rumbling of his higher-up "Your shift is over."
After hearing this, he didn't want to waste anymore time in there, so he decided to use his ability, even though he knew he could only use it one more time today. He stood with his legs close together and suddenly vanished and appeared right outside of the base.

Not truly wanting to return home she grudgingly did anyway. Iana entered the building and then her apartment. After hanging her coat and letting out a deep sigh, she went into her bedroom. Iana searched through her bookshelf for any books on tracking and monitoring spells. She also grabbed a book titled, A Historical Account of Earth and All of Its Inhabitants. Internally she hoped to learn more about vampires. If she was now sided with the hunters, she needed to learn more about the enemy. Once she hand all the texts she wished to search through, Iana piled them on her bed, laid beside them and began to read, occasionally jotting notes on a small pad of paper.

Motioning for Tim to fallow Tramer quickly made his way out of the meeting room, once out of the room Tramer looked back at Tim, “there is one thing you have to understand before you travel out of this compound with me, I work alone…if things get bad you either keep up or get left behind” Tramer said before starting to make his way out of the compound, once out Tramer looked at his watch “11:32” Tramer grinded his teeth having wasted far more time than he had wanted to in the meeting, quickly making his way through the city something cot his attention, first off all Destiny’s sent along with a familiar energy, Tramer recognized the energy and could tell there were two of the dairy pages near Destiny.
Quickly tracking down Destiny’s sent Tramer found himself on top a building across from Destiny’s apartment, thou right off something surprised Tramer, another vampire was already on the roof, laying down on his stomach the vampire was looking toward Destiny’s apartment thought a high magnifying scope connected to a 50 caliber Barret M82 military issue sniper rifle, Tramer also took note of a vast amount of surveillance equipment all aimed toward the apartment. Calmly approaching the vampire Tramer un-strapped his sword from his back, now standing right over the vampire Tramer aimed the point of the sword downward toward the back other vampire’s neck, with a quick downward thrust the other vampire was reduced to ash. Taking the vampires place Tramer laid down on his stomach and looked down the scope of the sniper, hearing something Tramer quickly spotted a ear piece the vampire had been using, placing it in his ear Tramer was shocked to hear Destiny’s voice, Tramer could not believe the rouges had managed to bug the head hunters apartment, after hearing a good part of the three’s conversation about the page Tramer stood up and presided to make his way over to the other building.
Once on top the other building Tramer jumped down gracefully onto Destiny’s balcony not making a sound, standing agents the wall right next to the open window chuckled loud enough he would be herd in the room, “are former leader astounded many, he won seemingly un-winnable battles, outsmarted the smartest and in less than a decade managed to unite the once scattered race of vampires, all this amazed both vampire and hunter alike thou few ever figured out how he accomplished all this…” Tramer said loudly, “being able to fore see hundreds of years into the future would most definitely be a useful skill for a leader, wouldn’t you say? Thou in his last few years he did start to lose touch with reality, Considering the high powered sniper and surveillance equipment I found on the roof across the street it seems the rouges have taken an interest in the pages as well…one of us will get the pages, including the ones in your “safe” its only a mater of time before us or the rouges make a move…I would like nothing more than to find a way to retrieve all the diary pages in your position without the use of force, if in the wrong hands the information stored in those pages could spell disaster, if in the right hands however…” Tramer trailed off, stepping over in front of the window Tramer turned instantly making eye contact with Destiny “you probably think me a monster…which is pretty accurate, thou the last thing I’m going to let happen is a full out war…I assume none of you wish for this either…give me the pages and I can at lest prolong the inevitable” Tramer said thou in truth Tramer didn’t know what would happen if he acquired the pages, not even he was told Constance’s exact plans and new little of what she intended.

Destiny sat up straight when the mental pressance of the vampire that had been stationed outside her apartment for the last few nights dissapeared, and was replaced with another. Standing up she looked toward the balcony door but continued to listen to Yuuki.
"Yuuki? Could this soul merging have anything to do with my visions and lack of control? Or I guess a better question would be, could a soul from the past merge with one from the future?"
Before Yuuki could answer Tramers voice carried through the doors and into Destiny's ears. When Tramer turned into sight Destiny's eyes focused right with his. This was one of the many times that she had been grateful for the one old legend, vampires cannot come into your home without being invited in; was true.
"Don't flatter yourself Tramer, I don't think of you as anything." Did she just call him by his name? She thought to herself. Blocking off her mind she did not want him to see that it was a compleate lie. She would die of embarassment if she lost her cool calm lead hunter exterior in front of Yuuki and Aidan.
"I think you are also forgetting the fact that the oh so awsome leader that you are talking of got staked by his own followers for loosing his mind shortly after all these wonderful things he did."
Grabbing the page from her bag and takeing the other out of the case that Aidan had it stored in she walked dangerously close to the doors and held them both up in one hand. With the other she slowly reached in her pocket and pulled out a lighter.
"Do you honestly think that I am just going to hand over a death warrent for the human race?"
Flicking on the lighter she held it under the pages and let them slowly burn till there was nothing left but ashes. And finally the flames that had devoured the partchment died out. But glareing at Tramer was still fire, flashing through Destiny's purple eyes. Then turning around slowly Destiny headed back towards Yuuki and Aiden, and sat back down on the couch.

Dorenel took some time in the middle of the conversation to check on his magical traces, he used his staff to show an image of the current happenings. He saw Iana reading a book and it looked like she was searching for something. He sent a message to her through magic, the message said, "Come to me," but with the message she would know where to go. Dorenel then saw Destiny as she burned two pages, Dorenel took a closer look at the pages and saw that nether was part of the dire plan that was contained on the page he had. Dorenel then turned to face Rosara through the portal, "Rosara, I guess we must hurry to business. Please answer. Have you given the vampires the page you were entrusted with?"

Tim was standing next to Tramer uncomfortably, shifting his waight from foot to foot. He didn't intend on doing anything and he didn't intend on speaking. He knew that the lady Tramer had addressed was a hunter, but she looked to nice to be a hunter. In fact, they all looked to nice to be anything bad. Then he watched the paper burn. It didn't smell like paper, though. Paper normaly had a woody smell. His nose wrinkled. It smelt like one of Sally's experiments. A sort of metalic smell mixed with something like Carrion. It was awful.
Constance sighed and ran a hand through her hair. It was very unusual. The symbol on the front of the book had never glowed before, but here it was. Bright as a firefly. Why would it glow? Had something gone amiss? She shook her head. Tramer would have everything under control... she told herself.

While walking, Jigantro noticed something strange on a balcony, a different vampire was there than before. After stopping and actually looking at the person, he realized that it was Tramer.
"Wait, what is Tramer doing at that hunter's house? And what happened to the other..." he slowly asked himself realizing that Tramer must have killed the other vampire. He knew that the other vampire wouldn't have stood a chance, he slowly let his mind slip away from the subject and started to walk again.
He was looking for someone important, somebody who could help him out, but he didn'y know where to find that person. But after a short while, he began picking up an aura of that person, though it was faint, he could follow it to a rough area of where she was and followed it to a small apartment building in the middle of the city. Scanning the apartment side, looking for a certain balcony so he could transport there instead of jumping or climbing.
He finally came to small balcony and slowly gathered his strength to teleport, and vanished from the spot he was to that spot and noticed Iana through the window, laying on her bed, looking at what it seemed was an assignment or something. He slowly tapped the window to get her attention and hid off to the side, waiting her to open the window.

Tramer just gave a content smirk as Destiny burnt the pages, using his control over fire Tramer didn’t “manipulate” the fire but he took control of it, felling the difference as the paper and the ink burned Tramer made a mental image of what was formally on the pages, thou anyone attuned to magic could sense a massive relies of energy, emotions, memories, and something else Tramer couldn’t put his finger on flooded from the room and seemed to dissipate into the streets, “and once the two become one a force beyond reckoning will shake the foundation of this world…” Tramer said first in Romanian and then in English reciting form the page Aidan had brought with him, “I thank you for your assistance, I was afraid you might try and keep me from getting the information contained on those pages…” Tramer said with a playful laugh before jumping off the balcony, stopping his fall with a loud clack of metal on metal as he cot himself on the fire escape ladder Tramer quickly made his way down the building, once on the ground Tramer started to calmly walk down the sidewalk, Tramer wondered why exactly he was instructed to leave Tim with a hunter thou not having any resign to question Constance Tramer left Tim up by the window.
“and what if I did?” Rosara said bluntly turning back to face Dorenel, suddenly a cold chill ran down Rosara’s spine as the pages burnt, “THOSE FOOLS!!” Rosara screamed “are you useless?! didn’t you tell them not to destroy the pages, or did you wish to bring this upon us?” Rosara said annoyed, mumbling several words Rosara vanished.
Tramer continued down the street till a strange noise cot his attention, tracking down the sound Tramer approached a large dumpster, looking behind it Tramer saw something very strange, a small creature hunched over eating something, with his massively hunched back Tramer would be surprised if it stood any taller than three or four feet, its skin was an unnaturally smooth and as black night itself. As Tramer got close the creature quickly turned sensing Tramer’s approach, Tramer took note the creature didn’t seem to have eyes, thou a un-proportionally large mouth took up almost half the creature head, Tramer took a step back seeing what the creature had been feeding on, a mutilated corps of a human laid in front of the creature, suddenly the air around Tramer got extremely cold, a hint of frost accumulated on Tramer’s eye brows in a mater of seconds, before Tramer could react another creature seemingly appearing form no were attacked Tramer from the side, clamping onto Tramer’s shoulder with its massive jaws the creature knocked Tramer to the ground. Grabbing one of his 9mms with his free hand Tramer placed two rounds into the creatures head, at the impact of the bullets the creature exploded leaving a black tar like substance in its place, quickly getting back to his feet Tramer amid his gun toward were the first creature had been, thou nothing was there not even the corps, felling a gust of cold air Tramer turned looking down the dark alleyway, now three creature stood staring at him there mouths wide open, upholstering his other 9mm Tramer smiled contently aiming both guns toward the creatures, suddenly strange portals formed on the walls of the ally, the aria around the portal instantly became covered in frost, before Tramer new it dozens of the creature stood before him, lowering his guns Tramer ran knowing well he stood little chance agents so many, quickly making it to his layer Tramer was surprised he had not been fallowed, closing the old mettle door behind him Tramer wasn’t shocked to see Rosara standing in the middle of the room.
“I’ll take it things didn’t go to well gathering the pages!” Rosara said still annoyed.
“not as bad as it could have…I managed to “copy” the pages before they were destroyed…I assume what ever attacked me had something to do with the pages…” Tramer said as he took a look at the wound on his shoulder.
“Copy! You know exactly what was on the pages that were destroyed?” Rosara said regaining her usual composure.
“yes…” Tramer replied
Turning away from Tramer Rosara mumbled several words, when she turned back toward him she held two strange pieces of parchment in her hands, “write word to word what was on the pages and we might be able to undo the damage that was done”
“before I do anything what were those things?” Tramer said taking the pieces of parchment from Rosara.
“as I told you before, the pages of the diary are cursed, and not in just he usual ways…when the former lord wrote those pages he pored his memories, his experience and his power into the ink…when curses were placed upon it to protect the bood the spells carried out in unusual ways, one such thing is what you saw tonight, Creepers as they were called in ancient times, being from the void a world of never-ending darkness completely void of all things except the Creepers themselves, if a page is destroyed it beaks an ancient seal baring off the Creeper from entering are realm…” Rosara answered.
Not expect ting Rosara to answerer anymore questions one way or the other Tramer proceeded to write down the information that had been stored on the pages. Taking about an hour Tramer finished, Rosara quickly took the pages and proceeding to chant in some strange language, the same dark energy Tramer had sensed when the pages were destroyed seemed to return and was absorbed by the new pages. “will this get rid of the “creepers”?” Tramer asked.
“it will only brake there connection between here and the void, the Creepers that are already here will be stranded, most likely not knowing about the sun they will die at dawn” Rosara said before vanishing leaving the pages in front of Tramer.

Tim pinched his nose to rid himself of the smell of the papers and bent down. He picked up some ash from one of the pages and put it in the palm of his hand. He stared at it with empty eyes for a moment. "Huh..." He finally said before he put it back on the ground and stood up again.
