Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sistina smiled at him and nodded her thanks."I may just check out the upstairs rooms...thank you, master Spike,'' she added with a knowing grin, leaning down to place a kiss upon his forehead in farewell, then making for the stairs.

A lone and heavily armored and cloaked figure slowly makes its way up the gravel path, a feeling of hate and evil roll off him. his aura twisted and hateful. in his left hand he holds a large iron tower shield half the 6'1 figures size, as it comes to the steps it pauses and looks up the cowled cloak hiding the grotesque demonic helm it wore.

The figurer brought a large metal hand and pounded onto the door, slow even strokes upon the door. he was told when he felt the time was right to come to this place, and now he was here and wanted to end this journey.

He waited his ears picking up the sound of movement behind the doors, he stood back but did not remove his cowel. he Knocked again just as loud to make sure they knew the doors where the cause of the noise, he grined evily behind his demonic mask shifting in his black iron plate armor, his breath came out in mist since the air was some what chilled.

"So this is the place huh?" said Caine approaching the outer limits of the manor. He had been riding a horse for the last seven hours and he was starting to get sore. A cold wind blew across his face as suddenly the horse abruptly stopped in it's tracks. He tried to get the equestrian monstrosity to move a little more forward, but that was all. It would not move an inch. He removed his luggage from it's back and calmly slit it's throat.
"Nothing personal." He said, talking to it over the silent screams in it's eyes. "You wouldn't liked your life anymore." He tried not to look at the two bite marks near it's neck, as he dragged the corpse behind a large rock and gazed at it one last time. Sobbing, he blew his nose on a pocket handkerchief and threw it over the noble beast's face. The white perfectly matching the fur color.
"Adieu." he said, burying it under a pile of earth.
Later, as he approached the manor, he caught sight of yet another ominous figure at the door waiting to come in. He was quite frightened by the hulking behemoth so he decided to wait outside until somebody answered.

"I see, well you are correct." he stepped back pulling the door open more. "Im not exactly sure what it is you're questing for, but I am sure the head of the manor would be more than happy to give you sanctuary. Oh, I almost forgot, My name is Kave LaCroix. I am a temporary guest of the manor, if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to try to answer them." he smirked

"where do i sleep? i would preffer in the dungeon or the atick, dark and silent is my choice." He opened the cloak he wore, revealing armor of bladed and spiked bits everty where, every inch of the black armor stained red with blood.
