"Destiny! Thank god you're ok!" She smiled back, running to her friend and hugging her for a moment. "As you can see I brought a friend,Lex has decided to come back with us for awhile." I gae a big smile, it was very good to have alexa back with us. Even though I knew Destiny had never said it, I knew she had missed her too when she left.
Looking over to Aidan, who had just woken upvia pencil, Yuuki stiffled a short laugh. At the moment anyway, there was a light atmosphere in the office, but she doubted it would last for long.
Taking another look at her best friend, she could see what Aidan had just mentioned, she did look horrible. Her hair was a mess, she looked pale and had dark circles under her eyes. Staying silent for the moment, she began to wonder what exactly did happen to Destiny, she did not look that great.
Yuuki spoke up, breaking the subtle silence that reigned after Aidan's last comment. "Well, now that most of us are here, any updates and has anyone heard from Iana? And how are you feeling Aidan?"

Giving Aidan a sideways glare Destiny spoke towards Yuuki.
"I have not heard anything from anyone..."
Frankly Destiny did not care and she really didn't want to be in headquarters right now.

Blinking the remainder of his tired state out of his eyes Aidan looked at Yuuki and Lex.
"Well I haven't left this spot since I passed out last night, and I still feel pretty much like a train ran me over... Hey Lex, how's everything on your end of the spectrum?"

Alexa entered after Yuuki. She returned the greeting, then let Yuuki and Destiny interact without interruption. She laughed to herself when Destiny threw the pencil at Aidan. She spoke up when Aidan addressed her, "Things have been well, things have progressed, and now I am here. We can save detail for a better time." She then began to speak to the group as a whole, "I went to talk to Dorenel on my way here and after telling him of my intentions I noticed something a little odd. I asked him about the matter and he told me that something precious was stolen from him by a vampire with the aid of magic. For him 'precious' means only two things, very old or very dangerous. and the former usually leads to the latter."

Destiny was not intrested in anything that was bing said until Lex mentioned Dorenel being stolen from.
"Ummm, question. How was the leader of the magical community stolen from by a leech. Even with the help of magic Dorenel is the most powerful aura that I have seen in a long time."
Standing up she went and stood next to her chair that Aidan was still loungeing in and pushed at his shoulder a little bit motioning for him to move it or loose it.
Once he had moved she sat down and started to bootup her computer.
"Aidan next time ask someone to get you a pillow to drool on, please."

Sticking his tounge out at Destiny he slowly moved over to the couch that she had just gotten up from and sat back down. "
I don't have anything against Dorenel, but others have said that he is just an old fool worried about balance when that is not a reality especially when accidents happen. I do think however that the vampire has to have a really good grounding in magic in order to steal from Dorenel."

Yuuki's eyes softened with Destiny's response. It was quite unlike her, very detached from everything happening around her. It really did worry her, what the hell happened to her last night?
Yuuki was brought out of her reverie with Alexa's response. Her eyes widened with the bad news. She knew too, from her own experiences with Doronel tha basically every single important item he had in his possession had the very easy potential to be quite dangerous. She shivered at the thought. It had been quite a long time since she had kept company with the old wizard, but she could remember his home quite clearly, and he had quite a many gidgets and gadgets that she had no idea what they could ever or would ever be used for.
She spoke up "And he doesn't know what was stolen?? It could be something the vampires want and need for the upcoming conflict..."

Alexa waited for the others to speak and then gave a comment of her own. "It doesn't take that much to get the upper hand on a more powerful opponent all you need is an understanding of your opponent and the element of surprise. I know I have used that kind of tactics on a few occasions. I'm sure Dorenel knows what was taken, but that doesn't mean he's going to tell me. The real question is what vampire has the understanding and the connections to pull it off? And what is so important that they would put forth the effort to accomplish it?"

Yuuki nodded to her friend, that indeed made sense. Doronel was quite the mysterious fellow after all.
"Since when has Doronel ever told anyone anything?" Yuuki joked. "But the questions on who the vampire was who stole the item is indeed a worthy question. It would take quite a lot to get through Doronel's wards, so we can obviously rule out anyone below a certain level of power, so it was most likely a powerful and old vampire, not to mention they'd have to be close to the top to be able to get any sort of information. The item still remains a complete mystery. The only people I can think of is that male vampire that keeps hanging around... Tramer I think his name was. And Constance. I'm afraid I don't know too many high-up vampires. Do you have any idea Destiny?"

Melony walked through the door to Constance's office and curtsied. "It's on his door, milady." She told her.
Constance smiled. "Exelent. I have left something in your room for you. Enjoy it. You may leave."
Melony, slightly confused, curtsied once more and left the room and went into her own. Inside, on the bed, sat her old kitten which she had left behind when she became a vampire. She laughed and cudeled up next to Ralph the cat and was soon asleep.
Constance had heard her laugh and slightly laughed herself, not from the girls joy, but because she was reminded of her own joy. Soon all of her plans would fall into place...

Tramer sighed as memories of his past flooded over him, the relatively short time he spent as a ‘human’ seemed completely overshadowed by the long centuries he had been a vampire, thou his thoughts were cut short as he herd someone else enter the room, grasping his 9mm Tramer removed hit from its holster and took aim.
“what in the world are you doing here?” a figure blurted out, dressed in a strange black jumpsuit, there face concealed by a strange helmet of sorts, the figure had two others dressed in the same clothing standing behind them, one of which stood at just under four feet tall, the other stood at around eight feet.
“its good to see you guys…I’m guessing those are Dr. Jimba’s work…” Tramer asked as holstered his gun and returned to his feet.
“yup!” the short one said in the voice of a young girl enthusiastically.
Reaching into her pack the girl pulled out another suit and tossed it to Tramer.
Putting on the strange jumpsuit and helmet Tramer stretched at bit for the suit was rather uncomfortable, after he had the suit on Tramer walked up to Destiny’s desk, “till next time…” Tramer mumbled as he placed the ring on desk. Making his way out of Destiny’s apartment building Tramer entered the sewer system, the entire time the three others fallowed Tramer closely. Tramer heading for his lair hoping to get a few hours rest after all the events of the past few days.
Entering his lair Tramer retrieved the suitcase he had placed there earlier that day that contained all the missing pages of the journal, “I want you three to deliver this to Constance, tell her I will see her at tonight’s meeting…” Tramer ordered as he went to toss the briefcase he held, thou for a brief moment he hesitated, Tramer pondered for a moment on all that could happen once Constance had what she needed “I am what I am…” Tramer mumbled to himself just before tossing the briefcase over to the man standing in the center. “tell no one anything of were you found me…understood!?” Tramer ordered.
The three of them replied in unison, “yes sir!” before leaving the room and starting to make there way to headquarters.
Tramer was glad to get the strange accursed jumpsuit and helmet off, thou they worked excellently, they were rather uncomfortable. Laying down in his bed sleep quickly overtook him, thou this was mixed blessing, for only nightmares were there greet him.

Destiny felt her belly clench when her best friend mentioned Tramer, and could not think of anything to say at first. Then shutting her computer screen she folded her hands ontop of it.
"It very well could have been Tramer. I believe that he is powerful enough to hide is aura from Dorenel enough to fool him into thinking that he was not a threat. I think the best thing would be to try and find out what was taken and what it can do. I know enough about Dorenel to know that he has alot of trinkets that can seriously screw us up one side and down the other."
Standing up she was a little shaky from the lack of sleep and steadied herself on her chair. Clearing her throat she walked over to a map that was mounted on the wall. Stareing at the map she sighed and pinned her blinking keychain to the map right on Madison Square Gardens.
"Tomorrow at noon we have the meeting that we hoped we would never have to go through. Aidan I need you to get the pages that we still have there safely. And noone gets in without their keychain. I will be in the crowd makeing doublely sure. I know my own and I trust that all you will do your part as well to make sure everything goes smoothly."
Turning around to her friends she smiled.
"Alexa, we need to know what was taken. Yuuki you need to find Iana and make sure she is there tomorrow. Aidan you have the pages. Is everyone clear?"

Yuuki nodded to Destiny's own input on the matter. "That's most likely the best course of action. After all, we can't really do anything specific without knowing exactly what the object is."
She listened silently to the rest of Destiny's little speech, nodding thoughtfully along the way.. While Yuuki could still see a little sadness behind her friend's eyes, she could also feel the determination as well, shown how she expertly ordered her friends and allies around the room.
"Ayeaye, it's crystal." Yuuki nodded to her friend. "I'll get right on it."
As everyone was dismissed, she grabbed her phone from her side and stood near the window for the best reception. Considering how she didn't know exactly where Iana was at that very time, that it was probably the best course of action to just call her.
Dialing the number of her speed dial, she put the phone to her ear and listened to the ringing tone that signalled how the call was in progress.

Clothes on and hair thoroughly combed, Iana made her way to the kitchen. Her body still ached. Fortunately she knew the remedy to this problem. Opening a high cabinet above the sink she willed down a medium sized jade canister. There were runes etched on its side and the thing was light as feather when grasped. "Father's special tea," Iana murmured aloud to the empty room.
A few minutes or so passed before Iana carried the steaming cup of tea to the couch and sat down. A sip or two later and she felt splendid. This particular arrangement of herbs was enchanted by her father to dispel the worse cases of magical fatigue. It wasn't long after the first sip that she heard the familiar ring of that retched cellular device of hers. Far to lazy to get up to fetch it from her room, again she found herself willing the thing to her outreached hand. Seconds later she flipped the phone open and greeted the other end, "Hello?"
