Welcome to Gaia! ::

*he nods, figering out the location*"hurry up my friend.... we haven't much time."

The construct gazed at them with his metallic eyes, after instructing the returning constructs how to start preparing the food.

=There are portals throughout the caverns, however most can only be used by the master. I would ask you to stay. The master knows what he is doing, and would have brought you along if you were needed. =

Lax turned to the task at hand, giving his final instructions to the other constructs, as the food was taken off the fires and laid out on the table in one corner of the kitchen.

=Besides, you have not eaten yet, and I have still to show you the library and your rooms. I don't think the master would mind you seeing the public archives in the library, that would be useful. There is a lot of information in the archives. Not even the master has read all that lies in those caverns, and he has had thousands of years of study in those rooms.

Sigilos stepped out of the Shift, appearing on his mountain top. He quickly Shifted to a smaller form, to fit on the mountain top.

*Lord Vampire, you say the Beast is near?*

*I am always ready. Perhaps I should get the girls? They may wish to join us. And I have something for you.*

"no, the girls are not ready to face their inner demons yet.... they will be sent for once we can keep track of the beast... and what do you have for me?"

Lax calmly held his position, not moving. He was too hard to harm, and the mountain was too deep and had too much magic to escape.

=I'm sorry, but until my master tells me, I can not open portals. Please, do not bother yourselves trying to leave, no one but the master and I can open portals, and this mountain is too thick, and too imbued with magic to tunnel or transport out. Please, the dinner is ready. Sit and eat, and we can go see the archives after. My master knows what he is doing, he will send for you when you are needed.=



On top of the mountain...
*This will help you, in whatever you do. These are rare, so guard it well.*

He reached under one of his scales, pulling out a dagger and holding it out to the Vampire.

*This is old, it was made when I was still young, only two-hundered. I never learned all of it's secrets, we will have to look in the archives afterwards.*

His tail twitched, sending small boulders of the side of the mountain.

*The girls are not happy at being left out. Lax, my main construct and oldest servant, can withstand them, but I don't want them too angry. They might hurt themselves trying to leave.*

She snorted at the construct and animalism began to take over. She grabbed a chair and slammed it into the construct, more in principle that to really do anything.

"That egotistical..." she growled and sighed. She dematerialized in that strange cloud of smoke and rematerialized at the edge of the room. She observed the walls and suddenly felt claustrophobic. Screaming a sound like a tazmanian devil she attacked the wall, tearing bits out of it. Nothing that could help but she was in a frenzy, a trapped animal cornered with nothing but survival on their mind. She stopped and breathed heavily, looked at the minimal amount of damage she caused. She dematerialized and moved about the room invisibly, staying that way until she could think of something better to do.
