Terk watched the gold quietly. "I knew something was not right by the screams of the villagers. I was on my way here last night when I was sidetracked by a song. A sad song." She signed. "By the time I left him, the village was gone. There was nothing I could do."

*So. Your freind the Vampire sings, does he? I must say, that is not a commen trait in their blood.* The Gold looked about. *Perhaps we should find him, he may know more about my Beast.*
Suddenly he lifted his head, and took a deap breath. *Do you smell that?*

*he sits in the ruins of the village, tears falling from his eyes they leave burns on the ground where they land*

*The Vampire is near, and there is anouther, farther away in the caves.*
The Gold looks around, and heads back into the village, silent as a leaf on the autumn wind. He stalks between the burnt remains, Shifting his Golden scales to match the black of the coals left from the flames.
He comes upon the Vampire, sitting and crying.
*Why do you cry, and scorch the dust? I hear you sing, that is an unusual trait for one of your blood. And you are not a mindless hunter, as some of bretheren are. In fact, you don't seem even remotly evil.*
All the time as the Gold was talking he was Shifting his color back, until he once again shone like the noonday sun on the rivers surface.

*Hahaha!*
Seeing the look of hurt cross the Vampirs face, he quickly said,
*Oh, no, haha, I am not laughing at you lad. But this village could not hold a hundred score, let alone five-hundred!*

* I understand.
I have a need to ask you something, Sir Vampire. When you spoke with Terk, did you notice the creature watching both of you?*
The Gold watched the Vampires face impassivly, waiting for an answer.

*This creature is a Beast, an animal with no remorse for it's wrongs.
I have been hunting the Phantom for some time, but have never caught up to it. It was this creature that destroyed the village. I was hoping you may have some information for me.*

Terk had been quiet long enough. "Am I the only one who just happened to come into this recently?!" Her voice echoed through the broken buildings. "One evening I wake up and the village I had grown fond of was in flames! I may be young compared to you two, but I am not stupid! I wish to be treated as an equal! Fill me in!"

*I am sorry, little warrior. I did not wish to exclude you. I do not see age as a measure of wisdom, or of understanding. I am old amoung the rest of the world, but my people do not die of old age, and I am young amoung them.*
*If you are wise enough to ask the question, then you shall have an answer.
This Beast, the one who destroyed the village, is younger then I am, but not by much. I have hunted him sence he destroyed my home. He has no remorse for his actions, feeding on the misery and dispare of others.
MY home was lost to his magic over ten-thousand years ago. I have grown in my hunt, but he has not. I am more then a match for him now. The problum is, I can not find him and meet him face to face. He gives off little sent, so I can not track him that way. And he does not use his magic until he is destroing a village, which makes it too late by the time I get there. However, now that may all change.*
The Gold looked at the Vampire, a glint of hope in his eyes.
*You say you clean up after the Beast, then you must know some about him. I wish to know everything, any habits, patterns of his behavior, what he eats, if he has to breath, anything and everything. Any detail couold gie me the edge I need!*
