In her dream the wolf became a man and the place on her arm that she had been bitten swelled with pain. The demon laughed at the girl's pain and turned to face the werewolf with praise. Vii sat almost captivated by the wolf-man, confused and in dream-pain, she couldn't hear what the men said to each other just the pleasant tones of exchange.
It was becoming increasingly difficult for the wolf girl to discern reality from dream, swimming in the sea of her clouded mind with Lady Emma. The first wave of magical energy had trickled in but now she couldn't discern where it began or ended as if she had been swallowed whole.

"Enough."
It was as if Emma had frozen the dream in place; both demon and wolf stopped in their tracks, leaving Vii still able to move about freely. Emma's form in the World of Dreams was slightly different than that of the waking world; she was taller, for one. By a few inches, in fact.
She looked...darker. More ancient.
The enchantress looked around at the mental construct, tapping a thoughtful finger against her lips while her physical form remained absolutely still.

For a moment Vii didn't recognize the dark enchantress, but then she realized what was happening.
"What can you see? Something wrong, Lady Emma?" Her nervous lips pursed as she looked around in her dream state. This was all very strange and new to her but like a child she was determined to soak it all in.

"Still working on it." Emma said softly as she turned away from Vii, making a quick spell-sign with her fingers. A net of violet fire flew forth, stretching itself along the walls of the construct. "This should show if there was outside interference."
There was an impression of black feathers and talons as she moved. Nothing visible, nothing concrete, just a feeling.

"Oops, sorry to interrupt then." She said quietly admiring the violet hues the walls had just been illuminated with. The feeling that she was being watched, almost like a pressure pushing against the walls of her sanity, swirled around her. She didn't know what or who the cause was, but it seemed slightly familiar somehow.
"What was that?!" She said looking around in the darkness frantically.

"That would be the outside interference." The net vanished, and Emma seemed to gain another inch in height. She spoke again; her tone carried a note of command, magic skillfully woven with her words. "Reveal thyself." She was unaware that she had slipped into the archaic, as she did so often in the World of Dreams.
It was not to Vii she spoke, but to whatever lurked within the former vampire's mind.

"No." Vii said strangely, though it was not her voice, but a low graveling sound that grated and rattled as her breath drew in and out slowly.
Red eyes glowed with an otherworldly fire that pierced the Dark Dream Emma, and Vii was no longer in control.
"You can't help her." The sinister voice rumbled out of Vii's human mouth, glaring at the Enchantress defiantly.

"I can and I will." Emma replied calmly, a pair of jet-black wings unfolding from her shoulders. Red eyes met Emma's own chocolate brown which flashed with determination, every one of her nine hundred and fifty nine years quite apparent.

"You cannot break a pact forged in blood. She belongs to me now, but don't worry I do not intend to end her." The red eyes blinked and Vii looked away from the Sorceress, "Such a lovely pet."
The rasping voice turned to soothing when speaking of it's possession and Vii's vacant face grew a smug grin that was not her own.

"State the nature of your pact with her." The note of command was back in her tone.
Black feathers brushed the sides of the room as her wings unfolded to their fullest extent.

The grin stayed securely in place despite Emma's authoritative manner, and the soothing voice continued.
"This woman is meant to be floating through the river of souls, but she was made a vampire and therefore remained among the living. Her performance as a bloodthirsty monster gained a bit of my approbation and I took a liking to her, so rather than taking her during her 'Exorcism'" Vii shuddered at the word before continuing, "I decided that if she would not serve me as a Vampire, then she would make an excellent werewolf, and there is nothing you can do to stop me, is there?" She laughed heartily shaking her head from side to side.

The doctor finished his coffee and stood up, paying for it. He turned and looked at the two, wondering why they've been quiet for so long. Shrugging his shoulders, he walked out of the tavern into the night.

"I would not be so sure."
Emma remained unfazed, watching Vii with eyes that grew increasingly older and more dangerous.
The wings were a manifestation of the power that she had on this plane.

Drathi entered the tavern soaked, his clothes dripping water onto the floor. A normal person would have been extremely cold right now, but the Ice Mage was immune to the cold-- in fact his skin was like the Artic. He sighed and found a spot for him to sit.
"Hope you don't mind me," he said quietly. "I was training out by a waterfall earlier. It's easy to form water or anpulate it for me, but freezing it's a different story." Drathi pulled out a soaked letter he had received from his teacher. The ink and parchment was encahnted to be far more durable than it actually was. "My techer thought it was about time I tried freezing rivers and waterfalls." Drathi found a bucket and moved it over to where he sat and rung out the overskirt of his outfit over it. "Part of the way I find out if it's frozen or not is by walking on it."

Ragdoll rolled in like a wheel as he unwound himself and popped his jaw back into place.
"stupid london guards...."
Ragdoll just got back from another theft as he gets a drink and sits down.
