Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sinestra smirked "Unless its Fire eater Sardon. The most you could do is hog tie him with his tail." She laughed a bit at that.

"Well the worst you could do is ending up pregnant with Sardon's baby as well." The princess giggled a bit at that.

"Well until you get used to how your vision is improved as all your senses over the next few days will cycle through changes, Vision well you will be able to see far distances without a spyglass, colors may be brighter and more abundant to you, as well as seeing in pitch blackness and well....

The most troubling is seeing blood flowing in a person when your getting needy of blood. Or for some just when you get hungry for food period. in ancient times vampires hunted and killed for blood, but they only needed actually about a pint every so often not the entire contents of a person or multiple people a day.

Ancient vampires also enjoyed the fear placed into people and scared them often when hunting a killed for fun. But that too was not needed for survival, at a point we were hunted by those who feared us but braved the danger of confronting a vampire and these people sometimes injected the blood of a vampire into their veins while not becoming vampires where more on equal footing with a vampire in speed and strength.

These people was once titled vampire hunters and sought to wipe all vampires from existence. Those of us that only took what we needed not killing because it would well in a way be like putting a big flashing sign saying "Vampires live here come get us if you dare." But there was more like minded people then the world lets on, Those who dream of being romanced by a vampire and to be a renewable food source to get just the blood we needed to survive. You will slowly develop new gifts.

Like if you feel you really desire something and looking into a mortals eyes you get these tingly feelings almost as if your body is stimulated erotically. like tiny bolts of electric sparks dancing across your flesh in a way that brings you a blissful feeling, That somehow you can convey this sense of feeling and in essence if someone had the perfect horse buy they was selling for say 5,000 gold pieces and you only had 50 gold.

You would try to barter with this feeling and the moral would be more inclined to listen as you try negotiating the price more affordable. As long as you didn't go too steep in the price too fast. though it might take you a few hours to do it you could easily ride away on the back of that horse with gold to spare in your pocket. You just have to use the supernatural charm effect which I refer to as a lull effect. They are compelled to listen and obey, Of course the more blood you have to drink over time the easier it gets to lull a mortal into doing exactly as you want.

Though if the mortal has a significant other that closely watches their spouse or family member that is a merchant not trusting them. They could get the wrong idea and just a mortal that is no under the lull effect touches the mortal mostly humans can snap the person out of the lulling bargaining way below what they want for the horse, or trinket they are selling. Some species I find, like a harpy or center are actually immune to the lull but like to play that they are affect to see how far you would be willing to go to get the lowest price. And dragons also immune though they can turn around and lull you right back into doing everything they want you to do So you need to be very careful with that.

Other things you will notice over time that is more improved senses wise and special powers. Though the lull will most likely be the first power that comes out. How ever being as old as a few dozen thousand years old some weaker minded dragons, harpies and centaurs are actually lull effected though you need about of 20-50 thousand years before you get that strong." Sinestra said smirking at the last part.

"Though if you need your welcome to come back and visit any time you need when something knew arises and you want to see about getting training over it. I could teach you everything but whats the point unless you got the power to practice with as your being instructed and taught the techniques to use and focus them." She said smirking a little and looked to Hitana and Lyra calmly. "Unless you fear you no longer will have a place to call home to return to then your both welcome to seek sanctuary here with us. All the personal maidens you seen helping my get around today all 6-8 of them are all mortals that ran away from abusive homes where parents treated them as slaves.

Though with a little trouble we had earlier after the results and your journey as well as Hitana's down here while I dealt with it. It might be wise not to try leaving the castle walls for a few days. Some people claim I have their daughters or grand daughters here and not letting them know who their family is that could protect them far better then we here can. They are mortal royals who claim their offspring that had left on their own met and left the royal life behind to elope and made children and that the children now abandoned away from their parents they had tracked the children that did this down and learned the grand children left home a few years ago and have been seeking them out.

Though if they see someone they think is related to their children will try to claim them as their heirs, Even if there is no blood relation. stubborn mortals who no longer can have children of their own, can resort to crazy things because they don't want their line to end, Even if they would be stealing someone else's children to insure their line's name continues." Sinestra said sighing and glanced to Hitana referring the names she was told while Lyra was in the library. "And if they believe they are they can end up starting a war to try to ge the ones they believe are their heirs to the throne when the ones they claim might not even be their heirs.

Once this matter simmers down you would be free to come and go as you please. I just ask if you would be able to wait that long. If you think you can't wait that long I understand and will sneak you out when they have fallen asleep tonight waiting to get a glimpse of anyone that might match what they think is an heir to their throne." Sinestra said softly offering a place for them to be well cared for until the matter simmers down if they choose to wait.

Sinestra smirked "Yes you can still use your water abilities. Though you might have to work with a few to learn how being a vampire can well.... Strengthen them and make it easier to do them. Oh well you can stay just o train then leave by the time you staying hidden can go and finish this ordeal of the king and queen of Syndya where they give up trying to find the heirs that their son had when under the control of a powerful enchantress." She said sighing.

Sardin grunted a little. "I could always go scare them off if they cause too much trouble. I am good at stone based clone magic. A 20 foot tall stone dragon I am sure would scare anyone off no matter how they normally don't fear dragons." He said yawning.

Sinestra smirked and moved. "To walk the speed of a human imagine your walking on raw eggs and trying not to crack them or walking over ice on the ground to not slip and fall. And otherwise you can end up over doing it and making a few new windows or door ways until you gain control you see everything you do is improved by 10 times greater right now Lyra. With proper training it will become 100 times greater as you progress through the years you just need to be a little more cautious then usual. "You know that jeweled flag on the top of my castle here you likely had seen on your inward flight Lyra?" Sinestra said elegantly and in a blur took off then returned holding the very flag. It took only like 3 seconds for her to get it.

"You see my dear you will be able to weav between troops coming o invade a country and sabotage them if you so chose in seconds without being seen and even with the lightest touch send a person up into the air before they even realize they had been touched by a good 10-20 feet into the air. You will be in that moment seeing things moving in very slow motions. Those nasty burning power high velocity projectiles will be even slower then someone tossing a light silk handkerchief into the air.watching it slowly fall. to the point you can literally pluck each metal ball they fire out of the air as if picking an apple from a tree." Sinestra explained.

"And all I did was jog like a human doing a subtile jogging movement to get this, So do not fear you shall get the hang of moving and gripping things, It is why you see our non vampire servants hand up a long stemmed whine glass as we hold our hand out like we are holding a one. They will place it and even help curl your fingers below it. And you just very slowly move your arm to your lips about the speed of a silk handkerchief falling. It can take a little while to get used to but once you do you can run over 5,000 miles in a second just by lightly jogging." She said smiling.

The king and queen of Sindya looked to them and the king huffed watching them. As the queen went to move towards them he stopped her. "So you are saying the queen of this place who said you two was not here, Let you two, whom she seemed highly protective of anyone here come out to meet us without any guards?" He asked one eye looked strange almost like it had a jewel or crystal of some kind inside it. "It sure seems odd that anyone inside is not guarded, Specially if we chose put a bag over you and just steal you away from here. So Pardon me but... I don't believe you are who you claim to be. But there is an easy way to find out." He said snapping his fingers as two arrows with holy bells upon it clanged as the struck behind the two.

Ringing out these bells would dispel magic and the sound could hurt the most sensitive of hearing like what vampires could have but not hurt humans and if there was some king of shadow magic it would dispel the shadows where the arrows would ring out surrounding the two in the sound. Yet the sound reverberated to the doors and walls of the castle but not into the castle.

"Oh yes follow me. There is a wide open area inside this mountain Which has private rooms and open spaces for training. Worry not fresh air filters through it as well as crystals relay colorful lighting even from torches for even humans to see there way around there." Sinestra said walking on and Sardin picked Lyra up in his arms holding her close to his chest walking carrying her. "This way you wont run into walls on the way there." He said carrying Lyra.

The king moved a hand stalling the ringing but the other power over those who heard it compelling them to obey and tell everything would still effect her if she tried running he would make them ring again. "Okay now talk. Wha makes you think just because one is a vampire my kingdom would be at risk? the one named Lyra can not stand killing. Thus we have no fear of her.... Besides there are ways to control things like you." He said and the queen moved behind him.

"After all there is one creature that all vampires fear and we have over 20 of those things under our control." He said snapping his fingers as a phoenix lew down landing on a metal perch built for it.

The princess nodded a bit and smirked. "Well ofcourse upper or lower tour, If it is upper we need to be careful where we go how ever as those people we told you about have named the two of you, and how you look and dress. If they see you it would be hard to explain you being here when they had been told otherwise. Though it is not out of the options for touring." The princess said smiling softly.

The king smirked. "well these bells among other things are infused with the tears of a phoenix, And who said I or my queen was mortal hmm? Or human for that matter?" The king said flicking his finger as the bells rung slightly to keep this woman from attacking causing mild pain and disrupting her shadows. "I am the king of Sindya also known as heavens gate. And I am the head of the paladin saints. If you understand what this means you know I need not say what we are. For the knowing of this standing holds more then a title over the passage of life young maiden of the shadow blood." He said in an old regal tone that was long stopped being used some time ago but he spoke it as if he was born to it.

"Besides Witch of shadows. No one would hunger if pouches of healthy blood was freely collected and served to one who hungers for blood. But through the proper treatments one can live on very little to sustain themselves and refrain from going blood mad as you say. There are medicines to treat a vampire to not require blood or thirst for it granted they get enough from time to time through the treatments without fear of killing to obtain the blood. Oh and by the way, Besides these bells being treated in phoenix tears.

They also have a drop of angelic blood infused into them as well, which is what compels a vampire to speak everything, to obey the one who owns the bells, and to not hide the truth no matter how strong the vampire is." He said smirking smugly silencing the bells again and then his eyes glow softly in a firm voice. "Now sit or I will let loose the bells to cripple you as I have the team of phoenix's circling above the clouds to attack you." He said watching her something about his yes looked oddly.

The king smirked a bit. "Oh they haven't noticed because I don't let them be seen if you look up off hand you do not see them. Unless you know they are there you will not see them. Even though this one landed when beckoned I only allowed you to see her. Even as they look at us they have not noticed you sitting before us. To them we sit waiting watching for certain figures to appear for the proof we have need to see to confront your queen to get the twins of my dead son to have heirs to our throne. Vampire, mortal or immortal we care not." He said sternly and his eyes turned white glowing softly.

"To the guards they think they see eagles not phoenix's. And I will use you for my purposes." the king raised his hands fingers touching at the tips of his index fingers and thumbs connected touching each other making a triangle opening placing it at his chest level aimed at her right shoulder as a orb of white glowing light formed a seal design and shot out to hit her in the shoulder hidden searing into her skin painlessly.

"You betray me and that seal will activate sending pain like you never dreamed possible, tell your queen about our true selves it will activate, you will report to me on a timely basis to inform me when the New Blood is trained and we will return at which point we expect them to be handed over." He said as angel wings folded out of his back then back in as he stretched. Turning the Queen looked fearful and sad her eyes turning to the color of blood then back to human looking the king cleared his throat. "I am tired of waiting here we are leaving for now!" He yelled out which is what would be seen by others not able to see through the strong illusions. "Come my Queen you need not feel pity for one as low as her." He moved his hand the arrows flew out of the ground to his hand the bells remaining silent.

The princess bowed her head following after her mother. "Right this way then. This place used to be a mine in the center of the mountain. The opening the castle was built on was primarily for air and light to filter into the mine. which was a secondary opening. the primary opening is on the south face of the base of this mountain. There used to be a third but it collapsed long ago due to a strong earthquake 2 thousand years ago. it was stabilized by the queens orders but never reopened. She feared it was too unstable and to leave it closed in. Rumors was it was always stable but the queen sealed it off to trap a great evil under tons of rock.

Rumor has it what was sealed there still remains to this day sleeping. But there is no knowing what really happened to cause it the only one here that remained after the great quake was mother. Whom never confirms or denies the rumors. When I asked about it she said "They are just rumors pay them no mind." though I tell those who get the tour so they are given a heads up about the rumors. anyone messing or trying to dig in that area is dealt with harshly by mother. there is just a long pulsing orange glow from an odd crystal in that area yet there is no reason for it to glow." The princess said walking into a large cavern of hard crystal lined walls and ceiling as rainbow lights flow along the ceiling casting visible light down to the flat hard crystal like floor.
