Welcome to Gaia! ::

He sat there, musing over the next peice of this puzzle....he was vaugely aware of someone behind him, but was not willing to shake himself, from his state to figure out who....

He tapped the next three pegs in rapid succession...narrowing the puzzle down, he was almost finished....

He opened the box carfully and placed the chip of the orb he had broken, into the box. he then closed it quickly. Not letting what was inside have a chance o escape. he smiled and grabbed his duffel bag from the throne room, and put the box in it.
He supposed that it was time to see how his "student was doing... he closed his yees and felt the subtle vibrations that the sword he ha given him, but out. He locked on to it, and followed, slinging his duffel bag over one shoulder as he left the castle.

Domino walked quickly through the castle. He was sure that his mark Vincent was soon to arrive. He walked through the winding passage ways, until he once again was at the throne room. Hurriedly before Vincent arrived in the throne room. He took out a small red orb,and a pair of seemingly innocuous gloves. he held the gloves up,and they were sucked into the orb. The orb then quickly vanished,knowing it's mission.

He then withdrew the puzzle box he had stolen from the museum, from it's hidden compartments and awaited Vincent.

Domino adjusted his eyepatch and spoke
"It is a castle built by a corrupt king....it was recently resurrected due to some,supernatural deviations..."
He approached the center of the room with the puzzle box and placed it on the ground. A strange dark emanation came from the innocuous looking box
Now it holds the key to your loves return." He pretended to hesitate and said " Are you sure you wish to this? The price may be higher than you think...."

Domino nodded and tapped the the puzzle box. The lid sprang up and blackness erupted out of it. Soon it covered the entire room, and it was as if they were in another world. In this black inky world there lay only one structure,the puzzle box had now become a temple,made of shining sliver.

Domino decided to test the legends to see if they were true. He stepped a few feet forward. He then looked as the flesh from his hand was dissolving. It was regrowing thanks to his vampiric nature,but still painful.

He turned to Vinecent " Inside the temple is a gem stone,green in color and as big as an apple,it is the first step towards reclaiming your love. You must retrieve it,but be warned." He held up his constant dissolving/ regrowing hand. " For every step you take closer to this temple the more of your flesh this will happen to...it will be painful,however if just living without her is as painful as you say,then you should have no problem with this task..."

"Almost there my friend!" Domno called out supportively. Inwardly he was gloating,the lovelorn always made great pawns,and to think he thought he'd have to fetch this piece himself.

"Knock Knock." Blair said sarcastically entering the area where Domino was at, after she broke into the castle and following his scent. What a putrid scent that was of a vampire, it was even more disgusting for there was two vampires in there. "Some one call for room service?" She asked leaning against the door frame, glancing over at Vincent, "Sounds like someone is having fun..." She commented

Vinecent stared at Domino "T-theres more?...It dosen't matter, I'll do what ever you ask. Vinecent ran past Domino and Blair out of the castle.
