     Poor Autumn, she didn't have the luxury of placing her hands over her ears to block the sounds. She would be at a loss of hearing for a while..no doubt. Ephraim on the other hand, while he did manage to cover them, he was still quite disoriented greatly, and from where he laid there on the floor, he may of been able to see through his shaky vision, his darling daughter walking towards him. That was enough time to lower her knee to his gut, enough to keep him down from any more attempts to get out of this situation. Next, she grabbed the bottom of his chin roughly, pushing it upward, so his neck was fully exposed....
This was a vital area to be bitten, a lethal one, too. But she was very hungry, she wasn't thinking of where the safest place to bite him was.
As she lowered her face toward his neck, ....again! There was that pesky magic, but this time it came in random, dull objects from around the room that had been destroyed. Each of them slamming into her, which was impressive considering Autumn was pretty horribly disoriented herself! One was just big enough, that it caught her by surprise and knocked her away from Ephraim for a brief moment! She was starting to become a real problem, even while retrained by a scary looking snake that could eat her whole at any moment!

Luella Autumn would suddenly feel herself grabbed by the hair, and her head pulled back rather harshly. She was met with the eyes of a small girl, and eyes that looked very similar to that of the queen of the Reapers. In fact, this girl in general looked... very similar to her. She leaned forward, licking her neck a couple of times. "...Time for bed." Assuming nothing had stopped her, she would sink her fangs into the girl's neck, though she avoided any lethal areas. She began to suck her blood, draining her power as she did. This was her first time really doing such a thing. It was... so tasty. And it made her feel better the more she did it. She continued this until Autumn was either unconscious or barely conscious any longer.
She walked into the room where Ephraim was standing, facing his apparent daughter, Hayley. The small girl, meanwhile, crossed her arms under her chest, apparently merely observing. What Ephraim wouldn't notice though--this girl's blood being the fusion of two natural leaders apparently allowed her some sort of buffing aura. While she was in the room, Hayley would feel her strength, endurance and several other things bolster to unimaginable levels--far more so than it already was, which was likely saying a lot. Ephraim dashed towards the teal haired girl, though he was still a bit shaky. He grabbed her arms again, once more attempting to put them behind her back, while attempting to cover her mouth. This time, however, it was unlikely he could move her arms at all due to this girl's presence... (( OOC: ))

"..." Hayley glanced away from Ephraim for only a moment after she got to her feet, taking several steps away to retrieve the spear that was still stuck there in the wall. The faintest smirk playing at the Reaper's lips as she watched her sister deal with the pest. It wasn't long before she would slip into a not so happy sleep.
With her out of the way, it would be much easier to focus on her main target for the moment. As her sister came closer into the room, she would feel the the amazing gift she acquired, which would result in incredible benefits to her strength and just about everything else she would rely on in a real battle.
Ephraims attempt to grab her again, would only end him her raising one arm away from him, and bringing the other to swing around and slam into his back, intending to slam him into the wall, face first. Had she managed to do so, it would now be HIM who felt his arms being forcefully grabbed, and held at his back painfully. Again, she lowered towards his neck, though this time not quite so much in a lethal area.

 ___ ___ __ _________  ___ ___ "Trust me, I don't pick fights I can't win." Ephraim unfortunately couldn't do anything to help Autumn at the moment. Things were going rather south suddenly. He certainly didn't expect his... daughter to be the one to give him such a fight. He wasn't even aware the other girl was also his daughter--he didn't have enough time to get a good look to see her resemblance to Krul.
As he attempted to neutralize her once again, he was met with sudden, harsh strength that sent him into the wall. Was she just hiding this strength before? She was suddenly far stronger than even him. This was a problem. Especially when he felt his arms held behind him, likely a way for her to rub a bit of salt in since he had been trying to do that. "Ngh!" Acting quickly, he swung his head back to headbutt the girl in the face. "Sorry." Having to hit her at all wasn't something he wanted to do, but desperate times. He then propped a foot onto the wall, attempting to use his strength to force himself back a bit, and her as well. He then focused his strength into his legs, attempting to essentially run up the wall as she held his arms, to flip over her and force her to let go of him while landing on her other side. Had that worked, he'd lean down and grab the spear he had dropped earlier, moving forward quickly and moving it over her head while her back was to him, attempting to pull it against her throat to start to choke her. Not something he WANTED to do, but if he could cut off her air he could get her to pass out, and that would make everything much easier. Of course, with her amazing boost in strength and such... it might not be easy. Or even possible. (( OOC: ))

This was not some easy prey, then again, it was her first 'hunt'. She just didn't expect it to be such a chase, so to speak. Her hunger for his blood was all that was on her mind, to the point it was slowly driving her a little mad. The more fight he put up, the more desperate she became, and the less likely she was to think clearly on how to properly maneuver around his own tricks, so she could properly take him down. "...Stay...still..!!!" Anyone could hear the desperate need in her voice, this blood lust, it was impossible to fight!
Hayley would stumble slightly, as the back of his head made a harsh impact with her own face, Reaper or human, she still felt pain! And that....stung. That small disorientating moment cost her another failure. Her mother was not going to be happy. Hayley would stumble farther back when he used his leg strength to push himself, and her back. It wasn't a moment longer that she found him no longer in front of her, but instead, behind her. That's when his own spear was suddenly raised above her head, and brought down against her neck, in an attempt to choke her. For a moment he would hear the sounds of her gasping for air, and her hands would shoot up to grab the spear, now it was time for her strength to come to play once more! Focusing everything she had in her strength left, she would attempt to pull it away from her neck. With only so much room she managed to part it from, Hayley would quickly duck under it, while her hands remained on the spear as she twisted around to face him. Ephraim would next, feel the painful force of her knee slamming into his stomach!

_______________________"Trust me, I don't pick fights I can't win.""I think I'd rather not, thank you...!" Ephraim returned. Neither of them were going to give the other an easy victory, that much seemed certain. Luckily, it seemed the more her hunger grew, the more sloppy she became. Regularly, he could take great advantage of this and secure a victory for certain, but... these weren't regular circumstances. He didn't want to hurt her too much, if at all. Meanwhile, all her physical attributes had been skyrocketed past the moon from her sister's presence. The same would also be true of Krul if she was still in the same room.
He had begun to get the upper hand, but with her strength where it was, he couldn't hold it for very long. He attempted to use his strength to keep her from moving the spear, or turning around, but to no avail. And in the next moment, her knee slammed straight into his gut. With all the strength she had... it was excruciating. His hands let go of the spear, immediately going to cover his gut from the pain. He took a step back, then falling to his knees before his daughter. He coughed. This might be it... that strike was enough to knock all the air out of him and leave him in severe pain. It was impressive that he had remained conscious, really. Clutching his gut more, he fell forward while on his knees, still holding onto his midsection as his face hit the floor. He grunted. This would take several moments at the least to get over...(( OOC: ))

As Ephraim collapsed to the floor, clutching his gut in utter pain, he would find that the pain would only increase as she took this advantage to kick him in the side, this time a little lighter, if only to roll him over onto his back. Had she managed to do so, she wasted no more time while he was in this pained state, to drop to her own knees, and grab the back of his hair, just enough to tilt it back enough to expose his neck once more. That's when a new, oddly familiar painful rush would hit him, this time it wasn't Krul's teeth sinking into his neck, it was...his oblivious daughters. The bad thing for him was just how hungry she was, unlike how gentle her sister was and only taking so much of Autumns blood, Hayley, was unable to stop herself. Had no one stopped her, Ephraim may be in for a lot of trouble. Like, death....

_______________________"Trust me, I don't pick fights I can't win.""Guh!" Ephraim let out, as he was turned over onto his back. Well, this was one tough day. Overpowered, defeated and shamed by his own daughter while, assumedly, Krul watched. And likely enjoyed it all. As she dropped down and grabbed his hair, he could do nothing. He was in too much pain. He was utterly helpless as she finally claimed victory. "Ngh!" He let out in pain, feeling himself being drained quickly. If he had any hope of victory over his daughter, it was utterly gone now. And since he was so extremely powerful and strong-willed, it would likely be the case that his blood would taste especially delicious. That certainly didn't help matters. "Ngh... stop..." He muttered somewhat weakly as she continued to help herself.The pink-haired girl there took a few steps into the room, her arms still crossed. "..." She watched as her sister continued to devour the man's blood, rendering him more and more helpless. She wondered if she should stop her... but was there really a point? If their mother wanted to stop her, she would likely do so herself, right? Seeing the defeated, helpless look on the man's face brought a small hint of amusement to the girl's features as she watched...(( OOC: ))

Hayley didn't show much sign of stopping, unfortunately for him. Every second of his blood being drained away, he would feel the weakening of his body even more, a horribly uncomfortable feeling for one such as Ephraim, becoming helpless once more. "She really likes you, doesn't she? " Krul grinned, This was perfect. For a moment there she was becoming a little worried, if Hayley would be another failure. Luella had great promise, though she may not have actually done any battling, Krul was definitely going to love her enhancing aura of magic. "That's enough, Hayley. We don't want to kill him. He's shown such promise, we can't lose something so useful by killing it. " ...Hayley didn't seem to want to stop. "...I said enough.." Hayley was one of the most blood driven Reaper's she may ever have come to see at this point, even more so then herself. That was scary.. "Hayley! Release him now!" ...It had come to the point that she wasn't at all interested in listening, that Krul herself had to grab her by the shoulder, and pull her back from his neck that she seemed to be so enjoying feasting on. As she did, Hayley seemed to sneer at her, her golden eyes flashing to crimson red as her blood covered fangs bared at her! "You will listen to me." Kruls own eyes narrowed at her daughter. She was going to be a troublesome one, which in a way was good, but not for this situation! "You are not to kill him. Both of you, is that clear? They will be put back in the dungeons..as we pay a visit to Marvel City, specifically, a small family dwelling cottage...and when they are finished, the whole city is yours to feast of. "
The city was massive, and so many innocent lives were oblivious to what was to come to them. But, what Krul didn't take into consideration, there was yet another group with great strengths they may have to get through if they wanted to take the city.

LuellaLuella's head turned a bit when her mother made her return.
She stared at her for a few moments, before returning her gaze to her sister and the one she had defeated. Luella didn't seem to be a big talker, at least, not yet. Her eyes were sharp and piercing. Her stare alone seemed to be a bit intimidating, or at least, uncomfortable deespite her small stature. She seemed to be very observant. Her expression didn't change as Krul had to force her sister away from the man. "...He is dead." She said. "Humans can't take that much blood loss. It's likely that-""Ngh...!" Ephraim gasped out, slowly starting to sit up."...." Luella's mouth was left agape for a moment, a shocked expression that wouldn't be there often. "....Strong..." She said simply, obviously referring to Ephraim's resilience."Krul... I'm not done with you just yet...!" It was clear he could hardly move, even as he clutched his spear beside him, he couldn't even really lift it. It was shocking he was conscious at all, but he wouldn't be able to fight like this. That was very obvious."...." Luella was surprised, to say the least. From what she had learned through her growth process, humans were the weakest things in existence. This one shouldn't even be alive, and yet he was still conscious, and even threatening her mother. "Is he really a human?" She asked quietly towards her mother. She seemed to... not really believe it. Despite that though, he was completely human. He was just quite strong for one.(( OOC: ))

  " .... " Hayley's fists tightened as she watched him start to sit up, even after so much blood loss, he was fighting with all his will power to stay conscious and put up a fight. The only threat he was able to pull off, was his words, completely, humiliatingly empty threats."If he's still able to move, then I didn't take nearly enough. Let me have him more!" There was certainly going to be a lot of dead people around with this girls hunger. Did it ever stop?! She took enough to kill him, but in mind, it wasn't enough to render him completely unconscious.
"I said NO. " Krul snapped back at Hayley. "Do you want to kill your stupid father? Yes, take a good look at him. That strength is exactly what made me choose him, a simple human unlike any others. He is one of the only useful ones to us, to keep us Reapers surviving..Now, my only rule here is that you don't grow attached to him. You won't see him as a father-figure, and you will not be corrupted by the soft, weak hearts of a human. He will try to take you both away, but you won't let that happen, now will you? You both know your purpose. "
As they grew, they would never know what a father was like, and should have no real emotions for Ephraim, at least this is what she hoped. It was best to get this all out int he open now, so to avoid any surprise later.

Luella"....?" Luella's eyes widened slightly for only a moment. "Father..." She took a moment to process that. "...Father? This human is..." She looked down to the teal-haired man. His hair WAS the same color as Hayley's. Maybe she should've seen it already. "I'm half human...?" She paused for a moment. "But I'm not... weak. Like a human. I'm stronger than most of the pawns here." Meaning the other Reapers that weren't Krul. Clearly she didn't hold them in very high regard. "Is it because of mother's blood only...? ...Or is having such a strong human as a father... beneficial?" it was something she wanted to study in more depth. "Does this human have any other children with Reapers? Or Serenitians even? I need to see how powerful they are..." It seemed she got a lot more talkative when it came to subject she was interested in studying. She stepped forward, crouching down in front of Ephraim. "Are you really a human?""I'm nothing else, I assure you." He said simply. "And you're my daughter as well... is that it?" He looked up towards Krul. "Twins? Seems to be a recurring thing with me..." He was a twin, and Mordi and Niki were twins. What an interesting turn of events."..." Luella stood up straight again. "Half human, and yet still one of the strongest ones in this realm... how can this be? This is worth a closer look." She put a hand to her chin inquisitively. "Mother is a genius to choose this human if his traits are somehow able to enhance Serenitian and Reaper powers instead of hold them back. It seems so hard to imagine, but the truth is laid out in front of me. I am the perfect being, it's only logical that his genes are a benefit." So it seemed Luella had a high opinion of herself. "Even Hayley is far superior to the other lackwits here. While she is still inferior to me, she surpasses all the other Reapers except mother herself." At least, from what she could sense. "He and mother are the perfect union. They produced me after all."(( OOC: ))

- Krul -
   Krul nodded slowly to Luella. "Exactly. Even as half human, you are more powerful then all of my Reaper's, if not all of them together. " Scary thought, it would be terrible for their enemies now if that statement was one hundred percent true. Krul seemed to be watching Luella a little more closely, to be sure she didn't go soft on him. Kaden had really, really made her paranoid! "I thought about keeping it from you, but you would have figured it out later on. And I don't need you trying anything to gain their affection. That just won't happen. " Glancing down to Ephraim for the moment, her attention would return to her daughter. She already loved her personality! It was all so perfect.."As for your question, Luella. Yes, he does have others. The cottage I've mentioned in the city of Magvel, holds his entire family. They are also protected by some well skilled retainers. Once we've taken them down, it will be much easier to get to his children. " Not that she was worried about fighting them all at one time.

Luella"Fascinating..." Luella noted. She hadn't expected to be half human, but she was certain her father had to be someone exceptional. It turns out she was right, even if she wasn't expecting his race to be what it was. Crossing her arms under her chest once again, she glanced towards her mother. "Of course I would have." She responded to Krul assuming they would've figured it out eventually. "Hayley wouldn't have, but that's to be expected." Despite their hair colors and weapon choices being the exact same. "Does it sting to know your daughters surpass you so much?" She asked Ephraim. "I'm aware of warriors having a great deal of pride, especially when they're men. I wonder if it makes you feel inferior to know we're so much stronger than you. I would like it if it did." She seemed to have some kind of sadism in her already."Heh, you don't pull punches. I like that." Ephraim said. "But frankly, I haven't seen you do anything. For someone who claims perfection, you don't seem to want to prove it.""Wasting my energy on a troglodyte such as yourself is a needless farce. If Hayley can dominate you so easily, you aren't worth my effort." A faint smirk played at her lips. "Such tasks are better left to mindless brutes like her." Poor Hayley. One had to wonder how close these sisters would be. "If it's true that you're the strongest warrior in that world, we'll have little trouble placing it firmly under mother's heel." She had scanned her mother's mind and Ephraim's to learn that he was considered one of, if not THE strongest warrior in that world. Though obviously Ephraim hadn't been trying to fight Hayley so much as he had been trying to pacify her, that didn't matter to Luella. She wanted to get a rise out of him."You're adorable." Ephraim said politely. "Trying to frustrate me is so humorous when it's coming from my cute daughter. You take so much after your mother, I imagine you'll be as beautiful as her one day.""Hmmmmm." Luella frowned. "Flattery will get you nowhere, fath- ...Ephraim." She glanced at her mother. "Is he always this infuriating...? I expected humans to be more stupid." He was quite intelligent, and it seemed hard to anger him.
"Ah... is that so." She glanced at Ephraim, pausing for a moment. "...Mordi, Reiner, Niki, Alist- goodness, you have so many children." If she thought that was bad, she should meet Nero and Phoenix. "Niki is weak, but the others seem to be fairly powerful. The ones that aren't children, at any rate..." She seemed to be scanning the knowledge she had so easily taken from him. Most Serenitians or Reapers had to focus for several moments to take so much information from someone's mind. "Reiner is nothing special either. Hayley will destroy him easier than she did Ephraim. Mm... Mordi is the only one worth mentioning, it seems." As far as how strong they were. "But she has a weak mind. Easily exploitable. These so-called half-siblings of mine will be a nonissue, mother. Frankly, Hayley alone could take them all except perhaps Mordi. ..." She paused a moment. "Retainers.... Elcrest is strong... Stronger than Reiner. He could be an issue. Reiner's retainer isn't accounted for, Mordi's is a fool, and Marie's...." She paused, her eyes widening a bit. "......" Her eyes narrowed slightly. "Severius... He could be a problem." She muttered. "It would be best to avoid engaging him, but he's always around Marie. If he gets to Hayley, he could destroy her mind entirely." Luella seemed pretty certain that Hayley's mind was extremely weak, while her body was strong. "Mm..." She sighed, crossing her arms under her chest again. "I surmise Elcrest, Mordi and Severius are the only potential obstacles. Reiner will put up minimal resistance, but he's nothing compared to his father." She began to pace a bit. "Information.... on Ein's family. These families are close. I need information on Ein's-" She paused, looking at the unconscious Autumn. Again, it took her only a moment. "...Aria is engaged in a romantic relationship with Reiner. He won't be a problem, but she's far more skilled and powerful than he is. If she joins him while we battle, things could be troublesome." She paused for another moment. "Autumn is clearly a nonissue currently. The others seem to be primarily powerless, except..." Her eye twitched a bit. "Florete. A wild card. He could perhaps be brought to our side, but... if we harm Alistair..." She shuddered a bit, surprising even herself. "...He's... he could be an issue." She managed to say. He and Severius were the big threats, that was for certain... but he could be even more terrifying. A scary thought.
"So... Marie and Alistair are going to be the riskiest targets." She informed her mother and her sister. "They themselves aren't threats, but the ones who protect them would be serious challenges." If they could even be defeated without extreme measures... "Azura and Ein Al could also pose threats, but neither seem to be any stronger than Ephraim, so I don't foresee them being an issue."(( OOC: ))

- Krul -
It was clear by Krul's eerie smile, that she was very pleased with Luella, the more she watched and listened to her, the more thankful she became that such perfection was possible, yes, she was talking about Luella being just what she thought she was too, perhaps even greater then herself! Luella -was- perfection! "You make me so proud, my darling Luella. " She could just sit there and listen to her talk all day! Hayley glanced toward her mother, briefly turning back to Luella before returning her attention on her mother. "...What about me?? Have not made you proud yet?!" And so, the jealousy started! "Hmm..You want to impress me too, I see..." Despite what her brilliant daughter's warnings were, they were also the best source of a real test. A test for the both of them, though she already had a feeling the best would still come off as Luella. "If you can get to Marie before Severius, after finishing her, you defeat HIM. Now, if you can defeat a serious foe such as him, I will be very proud of you." "..! Really? ..C-Concider it done! I will make you proud, dear mother! And you..." She turned to Ephraim. " I will make you cry. I will have fun with all of them, and once i'm finished off with this Severius, I'll destroy both Alistair and Florete. Just you watch, mother. I'll be the one to make you proud! " ..Or she would be dead, it was frightening how confident she seemed when it was almost clear that she would never get that far. "Remember, this is a serious test of both of your strengths. A test to see just how far your abilities will take you, I want to see you both have a great victory against these fools." What a way to see JUST how good they were, but to have them face off against many, many challenging enemies? It was harsh, but in Krul's world, it was necessary. It was just to bad, that all the brains had seemed to go to Luella, rather then Hayley. But it wasn't a total loss, she still had all the rage and blood lust Krul wished for her children to have
