Kira nodded to Lady Amaterasu when she spoke to him but he stayed outside and sat down, his head hung down and he stayed silent, he didn't utter a word, he wanted to make "that" choice of someone to guard as a worren, but was he really the one? ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Tombz enters the house without making a sound under the Predator's Cloak. When he finds a good spot he leans against it. Turning off the cloak, he begins. "So, what the hell was I summoned for?" he inquired quite rudely. "And no, I don't want any food."

Beth smiled again, "Thank you very much. I'm sure she'll be just fine as well." she said, finishing the conversation. It seemed like more people were beginning to arrive. Hopefully they could get this meeting over and done with. She could feel the coughs starting to come back.

Vincent "Everything dies. Some just faster than others." Vincent made it to the house of Amaterasu. He could not sense Dante at this point, but did not know if there was perhaps a charm or spell placed on the house or not. He was about to enter the hosue, when he noticed a man from the corner of his eyes, away from everyone else, looking down the mountain.
Upon closer inspection, Vincent recognized Raphael, the man he had many many days ago in Ernya. He went over to him, and spke gently, fo he seemed down. "Raphael. Hey, it's Vincent. We met in Ernaya some days ago... Are you here for the meeting as well? With Noctis?"

''...Hey," He said, glancing over at Vincent for a brief moment, though he had to keep his concentration to retain his balance. ''Yeah... I'm here. I recently became the Lord of Mau, so I guess I have to come to these sorta things now... and yeah, I came with Noctis. I don't really know what's going on in there right now... but I felt... suffocated, so I came outside to relax a little. Yeah... I remember you, I think. A resident of... Indelca. How goes it?" He wasn't really sure why the boy was here if he was a Knight rather than a King, but it made sense he supposed, for a Knight to come in Dante's stead, so he didn't bother to critique. He wondered, though... why Vincent approached him. Maybe he was looking for a favor? You could never know, nowadays, with the kind of people around.

Vincent "Everything dies. Some just faster than others." "The lord of mau? Well, my congratulations then. To have advanced yourself like that is amazing." Vincent could tell that Raphael was off. At least, that's what he seemed... He was at least glad that he was memorable to others.
Smiling, Vincent sat down. "I'll have to go in soon, as I'm here to help my lord in these tiems of politics, but I'd not mind a chat first. To answer your question, it's not too bad, though bnot wonderful either. Tis simply normal, I guess. I'm plagued with my own worries, and running around for Dante as well, but I've nothing in particular to care about much." He looked up at Raphael, poking him in the leg. "How about you? Something seems to be on your mind. Care to share?"

''I was a King before... rather than a Lord... so I guess I've actually digressed, in a way. It matters not, however. Kingship... Lordship... I don't feel all too special for either. To be honest, becoming a King or a Lord is one of the worst decisions one can make on the planet. To resign your freedom... that is what it requires to become what I have become." He seemed to almost be... scanning Vincent as he talked, examining his movements, his facial expressions, everything. Observation was one of the things Raphael was best at, and he could already tell what this boy was thinking just by looking in his eye. He could see that Raphael was... disturbed. ''It's no big deal, in the end. My life is not perfect, I will admit, but that can be said for anyone. I have simply been struck by... a challenge, but I do not doubt my ability to overcome it. How about you, Vincent? Are you... enduring any challenges? To become a Knight, at your age, you must've matured... quickly. And such maturation in such a short time usually means... suffrage. The fact that you are a Necromancer -- as I can tell -- obviously means that you carry some fascination with the dead. There could be two reasons for this. One... you've seen the dead and were intrigued... or two... you long to witness death more than anyone else I know. Curiosity isn't such a bad thing, but it kills, sometimes." He wasn't sure how Vincent would respond to Raphael peaking in to nearly everything he could, but to Raphael, children were always an interesting matter. They were so... varied. Each in their own way. And some were just a bit more interesting than all the others. Vince may have been one of those people. Perhaps he would take Raphael's words strangely... perhaps he would even avoid him after this, but the curtain had already fallen, and Raph had no need to hide his actual thoughts.

Vincent "Everything dies. Some just faster than others." Vincent sighed, and looked out towards the mountainside. "I think it'd be the best choice. There are too few with power in life, too few who can truly do something in order to protect. If one is able to protect anyone with their strength, should they not use it?" Vincent looked up at Raphael. "What better placement to protect than a lord,or a king, or even a knight. We can do something, thus we should. You made the best choice, even if you sacrificed your freedom. You showed that you are not just every other human, selfish and greedy to the point of easily looking the other way."
Vincent flopped back, and lied on the ground. His face turned blank, and he stared towards the sky. "As you say, no one's life is perfect. We're all dealing with something, if not everything. Me, I've been thrust further than most people my age. I've witnessed much, and experienced more. Weakness, death, decay, dread, all of it... Through this, I've come to how I am. I do what I can, and always keep myself in check, as much as I can." Vincent chuckled slightly, and looked at Raphael once more. "And if I'm fond of death? If I immerse myself because of a fascination, what then? I love death, and hate it at the same time. It's taken more from me than I dare mention, but it also has given me much... Such a conundrum I've never encountered, save for my lord perhaps." With this, Vincent jumped up, and sighed once again. "I am who I am, and I wouldn't have it any other way. If my suffering helps another, than so be it. If my intrigue means I'm segregated, than I don't care. I've come to accept my position in life, and aim to continue on my path. I'm an odd teenager, this I know, but I don't care."
((His face is like in my picture of him right now.))

Escher flew in from his last stop he saw his fellow knight standing outside while the lords and ladies filed in one after the other. He then stood beside the door and figured he was suppose to stand guard. He just that a waited for the meeting to start and finish.

''Well spoken, Vincent. Though we may disagree on one thing; acting selflessly is denying humanity. There is no such thing as being completely selfless. I chose to become a King... a Lord... for power, in the beginning, but in the end, I have sacrificed much more than I should have. But it doesn't matter, I guess. Such is what I chose, and that is what I will stick with." As Vincent spoke, he tried to analyze; to understand what he was saying, but even he couldn't see any real emotion behind it. Was it mental fortitude that kept this boy from kneeling down to emotion? Or was it something... else? ''When I was your age, I was alot like you, y'know. But I was... insecure. Not very strong and definitely not very manly. Haha, I guess I'm still not. I just got lucky in the friends I made." It was obvious that meeting someone similar to his old self caused him to reminisce, but he knew that Vincent probably didn't care much about Raphael's past, so he tried to sway the subject into something that may have caught interest. ''So... as a Necromancer, do you have any of those... things following you around? Y'know... the weird, patchy little creatures that moan and scream "BRAAAINS!" all the time. Zombies? I think that was it. I used to know a Necromancer back in Axiom, she tried to kill me and make me into one of her little puppets... heh. As you can tell, I haven't had too much good experiences with other Necromancers. But you don't seem so bad." A slight smile was shown on Raphael's face, but he tried not to look too... childish. As a Lord, people seemed to appreciate his "jokes" less and less. ''Guess people in high places just can't have any fun, huh?"

Vincent "Everything dies. Some just faster than others." Keeping his face straight still, Vincent spoke easily, despite the slight severity of the topic at hand. "I never meant to act only selflessly. I'm merely mentioneing how such an act as being selfless is rare to see, and when it is done, is good to be done by those in power. It means more, and is taken into consideration when done by those in power. You are completely correct yourself Raphael. No one is selfless. I'm not, and as you say, you're not. It's impossible to be all the time."
Vincent laughed at Raphael's mention of zombies, but returned to his blank face quickly. "No, no, zombies are not easily attained. The flesh would have to be stolen for me to imbue will to a zombie, and I do not wish to do such a thing yet. Skeletons are what I summon, for now, but I do not keep them close. I rarely fight you see, as times have been moderatly peaceful until now... Yet, I'm sure that will change soon, as our world is facing something... Who knows, maybe one day you'll face my skeletons first hand, perhaps even zombies if I get to that point by then. I've no idea. But I will tell you, they prove to be useful, and they don't talk, which is nice." Vincent turned away from Raphael. "As for me, I'm not as nice as you may think. I've much darkness, and much bloodlust. There is too much underneath this skin, this persona. I'm simply good at hiding and controlling it.

''Oh, no... I didn't call you nice, don't get the wrong idea. If you were nice... you may even be worse than the other Necromancers I've seen," He said, immediately disappearing from where he was and reappearing at Vincent's side. ''Kindness does not equal greatness. Nor has it ever. Aside from this, kindness is almost always a lie. And I don't like liars, although I happen to do it compulsively." He said, his eyes sparking as he looked at Vincent with a smirk curved along the side of his lips. ''Action and danger is something that will come in great number, soon, yes. So I don't understand why everyone is so... tense. If death is near, then why don't people enjoy the life they have? Why do people continue to deny the fact that we will all one day die...? Heck, not all of us even live. Most of the other Lords, for example. Like broken husks. A shame." Looking at the boy with... intent, Raphael crossed his arms as he glanced to the side. ''We'll probably get along very well, you know, Vincent. Darkness... bloodlust... and even... lust in general... they're all things I face, but none of those do I try too hard to deny. There's no need to hide your true motives around me... you can't really hide darkness. Covering the darkness... only makes it darker... does it not? People will only see you as worse when they find your true intentions. But I'm not like them. You can be yourself around me, if you want. And in exchange, I will be "me" as well."

  "There is only evil in action,
Lady Liliana of Ernya, Sage Elementalist ███████████████████████████████████████
The crunch of rock under foot would alert the others to Liliana's arrival. But she was lost in thought over what she thought she heard on the way here. Finally looking up, she saw Vincent and Raphael conversing. She could already hear their thoughts on what they were saying but didn't remark on them as she drew near. "Hello Vincent. Lord Raphael." She saw the lord in his energy, so felt it best to address him as such.

From the shadows of the hallways Cain walked, following the many faint trails of energy left behind by the other visitors. He entered into the room that was filled with people, including his wife, Lili. He walks over to her and also sees Elizabeth, the Queen of Mau who he was originally supposed to meet.
"I guess my trip to Mau was all for nothin'."
