Welcome to Gaia! ::

What the vampire's and demoness hadn't noticed though, was that there had been another in that park. One that watched the entire thing with a dark, lifeless eye from the boughs of a large oak. Still in human form, Nika let out a wordless growl as the succubis was taken away into the expensive car. As soon as they had driven off, down came the strong woman, landing with hardly a sound as she went to kneel by her fallen comrade.

Looking down sadly at Maurice, she easily hoisted his lifeless form and began back towards their clan's hide-out. Her black hair was braided this evening, and she wore a pair of boot-cut jeans and a muscle-shirt that showed off her curves. Sneakers scuffed quietly on the pavement as the now lifeless lycan reverted slowly back to his human form. Finding the correct sewer grate, the werewolf opened it with one foot and whispered down the password before jumping in.

The grate was closed behind her by the unseen guard in the side of the shaft, and two more kept close watch in hidden nooks in the sewer's pipes. One of them came out and took the body from Nika with a grim look, and the woman continued in alone, her dagger in a sheath on her back and a pair of desert eagles in their holster's at her hips.

Walking briskly and with a purpose, the others hiding down there made way for the veteran as she entered a certain room, stopping an important meeting and slamming her knife down on the table they sat around.

"They took another one..." She said with a calm that belied her actions a moment earlier. "Maurice met with their little demon pet." The elder lycan sneered and removed her knife, sliding it back to it's respective place before gauging their reactions, which varied from shock, to grim acceptance.

Lillith didn't move, let alone say anything. She was getting weaker and Mork couldn't do anything about it. He stayed by her though, watching over her carefully. Lillith's eyes grew weary, the red glow that once graced them had dimed, making them seem blank. Mork was worried, hopping along the bed, trying to think of what to do.

"Oh my... Oh my, oh My... this is not good. Not good at all."

"Mork?.."

Lillith used the last bit of her strength to speak slowly,pacing herself so she didn't pass out.

"I know... can you... I need to feed... Mork? I'm... I'm sorry for being.. such a pain in the a**.."

Her eyes closed slowly, Lillith slipped into a deepness.. the darkness seemed to consume her. Mork was in a panic now, not knowing what to do at all. He could only wait and hope for her to come out of it. Waiting... as she slipped into a darker part of herself.

Viktor lead Rikah to the library.. They had walked down the stairs, and passed some of the coven members before going under the arch way heading deeper into the house till they reached it.

"Rikah, i want you to read up..." he looked over at her.. and leaned his face closer.. and gave her a soft kiss. Rikah smiled at him and nodded... She released his hand went on into the aisle of books... taking one on Lycan and then one of succubi/Incubi. She opened the one of the Succubi and incubi first. She raised a brow... Viktor watched her from the door... "Good child..." He mumbled before leaving her to her own.

"Wow.. I never even knew this... let alone.. that's what they are." She raised the book up, and began to read allowed. "What are Incubi and Succubi?
They are incorporeal sexual energy feeders, generally regarded to be a type of incorporeal vampire.
In a masculine form, they are called incubi (singular: incubus), and in a feminine form, succubi (singular: succubus).

What do they look like?
Incubi and succubi have no specific appearance, generally taking their form from the mind of the person they're feeding. They rarely materialize physically (although they can be induced to do so through various rituals), preferring to appear in the dreams, or (more rarely) to induce sleep paralysis in the victim. They may also be encountered on the astral plane.
Their appearance in dreams and astral states can be hard to discern from more conventional dream images, but it is worth noting that they are not good at the details of human anatomy, as they don't really understand it. Nipples, navels, similar apparently minor cosmetic details will often be blurry or indistinct, even when the entity is in clear focus otherwise. Such details may also be completely missing.
When evoked into the physical plane, they will often not have a very clear appearance. Their evoked energy form will be visible and tangible to one trained in seeing such things, but they might even go unnoticed by the untrained eye.

What do they do?
They drain energy from their victim by causing or taking advantage of sexual arousal or frustration. In the middle ages, monks, nuns, and other celibates were particularly not fond of these beings, as they manifested to them with some frequency, due to the sexual frustration which is often an innate part of celibacy.
Incubus and succubus experiences are usually pleasurable for the victim, and will only cause any problem if they are already extremely ill or weak, although they may not. Some vampires and vampiryc magicians dislike these beings as they hate being drained of vital energy.
It seems to only be rarely in modern times that an incubus/succubus experience will not be regarded as pleasurable. Generally, these will be situations in which the entity explores the hidden sexuality of it's victim (for example, appearing as a male to a homophone). This exploration of hidden and forbidden sexuality is part of what made the Christian church revile them to such a great extent and regard having sex with them as so sinful.
Thomas Aquinas, darling of the Catholic Church and 13th Century founder of "scholasticism," believed that devils, in the form of succubi, performed fellatio on sleeping mortals. Then, as incubi, they used the seed so obtained to impregnate virtuous unmarried women in their sleep, thus producing half human/half demonic monsters. In fact, this was a convenient excuse for unmarried women who became pregnant, more often than not. Incubi and succubi are evidently incapable of fertilizing humans in any normal sense. However, this belief does inspire certain possibilities in relation to creating a magical child of some description.

How can you get rid of them?
They can be prevented from attacking by using substances such as salt and gold, and may be got rid of with a simple banishing such as the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram or one of it's derivatives (the Gnostic Pentagram, for instance). Dream catchers are also generally reported to be effective against their attacks upon the sleeping. They can be eliminated by being completely drained of energy, although this is blatant cruelty towards a largely harmless entity.

Are they dangerous?
No, not really.
On rare occasions, swarms of these entities will attach themselves to one person, and will be able to physically affect them. As ever, this experience is generally harmless and pleasurable assuming the victim is healthy and suffers no strange repressions regarding sex. It can be rather exhausting to them, though. Under such circumstances, banishing and the use of appropriate prophylactic talismans is recommended should they subject wish to get rid of the beings."

She blinked and started to take in all the information...

Eclipse stayed silent as she showed him around and he only listened to what she had to say. Of course, this wasn't much either, compared to the lavish rooms of the coven house and him being the coven master, obviously had the best room, but this was nice and quaint.

"Ah" He said as he checked his watch and glanced up at her. "It's still a few hours before dawn..if you still want to talk, I'll talk with you." he added with a soft smile. "but..if you're tired..that's fine..I'll be down here if you need me.." The prince said with a shrug.

Nodding her head slightly, Calynn looked over at him. She needed to do some reasearch on the lycan, as they had been making more noise as of late. If there was anything about it, she knew the right places to look, or rather, the right places to hack. Sighing a bit, she started towards the stairs,

"You're welcome to come with me, though I'm worried you might get bored by the research I'm doing. I've gotta look up some stuff on the lycan, and see if there's a real reason there's been more attacks. I want to know if there after anything."

To be honest, Calynn always had the worry that the lycan would find her. It was well known now that they knew about her, and they knew about her abilities. She just knew it was a matter of time before something happened that would make her regret her decision to stay here for a few days.

Darian drifted down the row books. The pale shadow that was his face barely visable in the dark filled room. The black holes that where his eyes stared straighed ahead while the dark line of his mouth had a slight curve.
Darian made his way slowly over to the table where Rikah sat. With out much though Darian drifted onto Rikah's shoulder and sat there. Not that Darian was small by any means he was the size of a normal human just insubstantial making him weight as much as a shadow.
"Well Rikah" Darian said looking down on the books, "what have we here a bit of light reading?"

Rikah blinked and looked up at the man... well the shadow on her shoulder and laughed.

"Just researchin gyour kind, and the female half..." she smiled again at him, pushing hte book away, and standing... The chair moved back. "I think though, it's time for my dinner, will you be joining me?" She smriked to the Incubus.

She would go to the bar, if he would join... there were men and women in hte sexual state there at this time... just before dawn... They would make it back just before the rising for her to sleep once agian.


Viktor looked over at the vampire.. "A lycan eh?" He looked out of the window... he too would need to go and feed, the next full moon he would hold Rikah's drinking ritual... "There's nothing to be done tonight. Tomorrow rouse me earlier, and I will see The Prince." He turned and faded off for feeding and then sleep.
