Giving a slight bow of his head, Crux smiled politely. "Forgive me. I am Crux Karayan, a servant here in the kingdom of My Lord..." He trailed off momentarily. "That is, I was. I am a musician by nature, though I was often asked to help in various other tasks." Standing, the servant deposited the broken pieces in a nearby waste basket.

Faith looked away, "The lord was a good person. There is no one like him."
She looked back at him and blinked in surprised, quickly changing her mood, "I'm sorry. My name is Faith. I should not be so depressed. He gave his life for us. What will happen now?"

The servant looked out a nearby window at the devastation left in the courtyard. "If only I knew. All that is certain is that there will soon be an execution to see to."

 Surebu sighed and walked in from the doorway, he was discovered already, so why not. He looked around. "This place looks so normal." he said and looked at the others. "Though people here are slightly more well dressed." He looked down at his burned body and tattered clothes. "And their clean. Oh well. Who was playing that music?" he asked and swallowed when he heardthe word execution.

Crux turned and gave a bow to the man that had entered. "Hello, sir. If you would so wish, there are several chambers set up within the castle. You are more than welcome to use one and freshen up." The servant looked at the man's disheveled appearance. "We can also provide you with a fresh change of clothes."

Surebu felt awkward because Crux bowed to him. "Uh, thank you." he said. "But I don't really think I have anything to give anyone, so it's probably best if I leave. Would you perhaps know where I am located." He wished he could stay, but his wallet was missing. Plus, all he could remember was being attacked by the guys in the alley right before now. What was this place, and was he really a vampire?

"Wait execution? For who? Why?" Faith blinked. Things were moving way to fast for her. She had been in the Dead Forest for way too long. She hoped that Dark and Koji would finish their battle so that they would return to her. She hated being alone.

Shaking his head, Crux gave a humble smile. "This is the Kingdom Rosencroix. All guests are welcome to stay. We do not have need for money or any type of payment here. You will find that many other guests are staying here as well."
The servant turned to Faith. "I'm afraid that I did not catch the name of the prisoner, but he was led to the dungeons not long ago for high treason."

"I see..." Faith sighed. "So much death and blood has been shed here."
She walked around over to the piano, "I learned this a long time ago. It is one of my favorites."
She began to play Chopin's Nocture. The melody was sweet, yet mournful, reflecting on the events that happened.
When the music was finished she sighed, "I do hope the boys will come back soon."

Crux closed his eyes and listened to the music before walking over to the massive pipe organ. "This Kingdom was built on death and blood. It is only normal that it should continue." Seating himself at the massive keyboard, he began playing a fitting piece. Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. As he played, his power consumed the room. Visions of malicious creatures swarmed throughout the music hall as skulls seemed to litter the floor. The illusion was so vast that death itself would have paused in awe.

"Illusions. You can create them also?" Faith walked around not fearing in any way. She walked over to the servant and took in the music into her ears. The sight and sounds filled her soul.
"Yes, but the new ruler. She does not seem the type to want to fight." Faith continued to speak.

As Crux continued to play, he gave a grim nod. "Yes, illusions through music have always been my specialty. As for any fighting, Luferius will take care of those matters." The music swelled as the figure of death poured forth from the organ, blood dripping from the skull's eye sockets and ran down to the ground.

Faith looked down, continuing to worry about her love and her dear friend, "What about the other guests who are still outside? Will Luferius bar them from returning into the castle?"
As the illusions grew, she also added her own illusions. Loud wails could be heard across the room combined with drones of moaning and groaning of souls that lit up the room. Her illusions came from emotions rather than a music source.

"No, the guests will be safe. Our only concern is anyone associated with Nyx herself." The melody softened as the skeletal figure shifted, forming a vast garden of roses throughout the room.

Faith sighed in relief and she joined him creating a large sakura tree in the middle of the room. It petals were drifting down on the ground, gently as the wind blew it to one side.
"They say sakura blossoms are pretty when stained with blood." Faith solemnly whispered. "I never understood that saying."
