Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lilith looked back in the direction of the kitchen, nodding.
"Yes, he's still there, but Lazorus is there too."
She gave Night a reassuring smile.
"We'll be there for you, or if you would like I can bring the food in here for you."

"Certainly. We won't let anything happen to you."
Lilith came up and gave the two a hug.

Giving a kind smile, Lilith picked the girl up.
"I would be glad to."
She turned to Susan and offered a hand.
"Would you like a ride too?"

"Alright, let's get you both to the kitchen before your food gets cold."
With a smile, Lilith turned and headed back to the kitchen with Night and Susan.

Slamming the doors open, Luferius headed straight in the direction Tuomas had taken. It did not take long, following his scent. As he found the youth, the vampire spoke up. "What is the news, Tuomas. Have you found anything useful? You should have at least notified us by now."

Tuomas jumped at the voice, spinning around to bow humbly. "F-forgive me, sir. I was just ending my research. I was almost on my way to tell you my findings."

Luferius nodded, calming himself as Damien had suggested.

Taking hold of a nearby book, Tuomas lifted it up and skimmed through the pages until he found what he sought.
"A-apparently this is not Nyx's first visit into our kingdom. She used to frequent these grounds quite often. There are rumors that she has a temple somewhere on the outskirts of the kingdom where her magic flows quite freely. It is with this magic that her council members can gain entrance so easily even with our barriers and wards. The only way to banish her completely from the kingdom would be to find that temple and destroy it."
He showed the pages to Damien and Luferius before picking up a book close by.
"As for the current queen, well this was more difficult to find. I was forced to not look at the history of the kingdom, but at the legends and myths surrounding it's beginnings. We all are familiar with Lord Nicolae, correct?"

Luferius nodded, knowing this story quite well. "Lord Nicolae was one of the very first Vampire Lords to rule. He built most of the older wings of this castle as well as the foundations we are standing on this day."

"Y-yes. Legend also states that he was a cruel and merciless ruler. The castle walls are filled with the bodies of all who opposed him. But that is not my point. Do you recall his demise?"

The vampire frowned. "There are too many legends and myths to keep them all straight, Tuomas. You know this. Some say he became this very castle in order to continue his rule. Other legends state that he was the courageous warrior that had slain the dragon on the moon and died as well. There is even one that went so far as to state that he-" Luferius' eyes widened as he looked at the youth. Grabbing hold of the book Tuomas held, he stared at the page incredulously. "Rosencroix?!"

Tuomas quietly addressed Damien, flinching slightly from the loud exclamation.
"I-If I am not mistaken, we may be dealing with more than just this kingdom, but with a reincarnation as well."
He blinked, looking curiously at the man.
"You have never heard of the legends of this kingdom, sir?"
