Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kryss looked up at the sound of footsteps comming in his direction, suddenly realizing that he was on the outskirts of the city. The silver sliver of moon and the glowing streetlamps were plenty of light for him to see the dark skin of the half-demon that was running towards him.

He stood still as a stone for a moment, wondering if this young half-breed played acolyte to the demon he had met last night, then realized the aura surrounding the being was not one of complete evil and darkness.

Giving an amused half-grin, he wondered how he should greet the half-demon, or even if he should. He was a vampire, after all, and the opinions of his kind varied much in the levels under the Earth. Some would consider his kind family, while others thought of them as too low to bo considered at all, barely above the humans.

He took a step closer to the streetlight, leaning against it only slightly, and watched the half-demon approach his city.

"I don't like being thought of as an arrogant b*****d," he said quietly, offering the half-demon a friendly smile. "So if you can manage to think of me as something else, I certainly won't mind you wandering around my city looking for the demon."

He did not like having to look up at the demon, but then, he never had liked having to look up at anyone.

"My name is Kryss," he said with a small bow, never quite breaking eye contact with the stranger. "I think the 'coven' needs you more than I, though," he said, thinking of how unhappy Luscius had been at Kryss' sudden disappearance.

Jadelyn sighed as the water hit her, absently brushing the drops away from her face. "I really wasn't in the mood for a bath." Her smile was sad as she glanced back at Kamiru and then towards Karan. "I took everything you ever loved? Me?" She sniffed, clicking her tongue. "I took nothing from you. Do not presume that you know me because you have run into others of my kind. You know nothing. You make assumptions. Bloody fool, I'm an artist. An artist." Her voice dropped to a whisper. "I am not like the others and how dare you insult me by claiming that I am. You do not know me."

"I'm just guessing, but was that holy water?" Kamiru said absentmindedly. "Look, I don't get what's going on here. First you're a ghost, now you're a human, and you're trying to kill Jadelyn, who's a vampire, but she's an artist, and man, does my head hurt..." Kamiru turned around, regained his thoughts, and turned to Karan. "Okay, I'd like you to explain just how you came to be a ghost, how you know of vampires, and just why you expected holt water to stop her. I don't really think I need an explanation out of you, Jadelyn, I think I get it enough on my own."

Jadelyn's shoulders seemed to slump, her gaze drifting to the floor. "Well, if you wish no explanation then I believe I'll just retreat upstairs. If you want me..." She left the words hanging in the air as she started up the stairs. Her hands kept smoothing and tugging at her skirt, betraying her uneasiness. She found herself aching for her studio to complete. Sighing, she glanced back over her shoulder and then continued to move up the stairs. Hoping that working in her sketch book would be enough to calm her and bring her back into focus.

Zareb turned around with a smirk on his face "well in that case i guess i'll tag along.....and dont worry i wont be in your way, for a half breed i can hold my own"

" oh sorry, my names Zareb, Reb for short.............soooo where are we going?"
