The ring began to warm up real fast in Vaine's hand. Listen up, it's probably a good thing you've been drinking, it will dull the coming pain somewhat, but you're doing her a big favor. She is not to leave your side period. I go on your right hand, ring finger, and so long as I stay in this form your fine. However, if she shows up I will manifest, my curse will start affecting you then, It's going to hurt, but if you can kill her before I become stuck to your hand I can return to being harmless. Then you give me back to Anabel. Anabel has the plan we discussed to draw out the kidnapper. Just as quickly as it heated up it cooled off.

Vaine looked a bit confused and slipped the ring on his right ring finger, "... Okay."
Anabel walked around the other side of the bar and began discussing something with Ive, they smiled, and Ive walked back to her room. Anabel came back around and sat back on the stool, "Phase one is in progress..."
Vaine nodded and gave her an even more confused look,"Ooookay....."
Anabel giggled and kissed Vaine's cheek, "I'm going to go to bed for tonight... Good luck on your hunt." she slipped off her stool and began to walk out the door when she turned on her heels and glared at Vaine, "... And you'd better take good care of that Ring."
He swallowed hard and nodded.
"Good." Anabel chimed and turned back around, continuing her trip back to the door, "Goooood Niiiiight Everyone!"
~~~~~~~
Ive put her new law powers into action and began writing out warrants for the mysterious hooded figure, and forged Dagon's symbol as to whom issued the warrant. she handed it to the town crier, and he began passing the word through the street, since the night was still young and the traffic through the town square was still quite busy.

Mei heard the crier going through the streets, and turning back to her three victims she pointed at the man. "You go to him, explain everything that has happened to you, make sure you lead them back here, because if they don't hurry your new bride will be dead."
The man left in a hurry, he caught up to the person yelling the news, and did exactly what Mei told him to do. From there he ran to Ive's passing Anabel. "I need to speak with Ive now, I know where she is, she has my wife, and we need to hurry before she's dead."
Mei simply left his wife bound to a chair, and collecting the child she left. Trying to stay out of sight was difficult, but not impossible as she made her way to Anabel's. She avoided the garden and the woods, and waiting for a opportune moment when no one was looking her way she slipped in the front door.
The boy gulped; "Lady, I shouldn't be in here, i don't want to play your game anymore, can i go home now?" Mei smiled; "Sure..." Mei grabbed him by the throat pushing him against the wall. He tried in vain to pull her grip loose, but before he passed out Mei released him. "Now you can go, lead anyone here, and you will never speak again." The boy nodded and his mouth moved to say he wouldn't, but nothing came out. Mei smiled; "handy little trick, thought I would screw it up, but its nothing as powerful as what Anabel has been cursed with." The boy was starting to freak out, and he ran out of the house. stopping people along the way to scream at them but no sound came from his moving lips.

Ive followed the frantic man to find his wife and growled, Vaine, She's not here.
He smirked and slipped passed the wooden gate door and entered Anabel's home. He let his feet shuffle a bit as he entered the room, then remained out of sight making random noises to bring her fear through the roof.
~~~~
Anabel began to walk back to her home and noticed the boy running through the street screaming, but no sound was produced. she scooped the boy up and ran into Ive's back room and placed him in front of the healer, "Fix him!"

Mei smiled, the sounds were a bit unnerving, but she just spoke up. "To be female, and brought before Dagon is a fate more horrible then you can imagine. There is no greater fear, and what i have seen done and cleaned up makes what your going to do to me pleasant. Keep this in the back of your mind, if you kill me, the little boy will never speak again. "
~~~~~~~~~~~
The healer shook his head; "The seal is tied elsewhere, not to his body, to make the attempt could alert whoever its tied to aware and they could make it permanent. If that happens i'll need to be at the top of my strength before i try to remove the seal."

"Heeh," Vaine smirked as he grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall, "Or you could just remove the curse now and I won't crush your trachea."
~~~~~
She held the boy close, "Oh.... I'm so sorry little one... " she released him and paced between the window, and the door, "I need to get home... Vaine will know what to do, and I saw him heading there..."
Anabel bowed to the family, " I'll do everything i can to save your boy's voice."

Mei laughed at him being tough; "Crush it, give me the freedom I so desperately want, and seal that curse forever in that boy. If you bite me It will be the same, i will taunt you with it every day I spend in your pathetic town's custody."

Anabel came down her dirt path and noticed a young farm boy coming up the opposite way. He tipped his straw hat to her with a soft smile and she replied by waving shyly. glancing over her shoulder at the passing man she quickly entered her gate and ran inside to find Vaine and that girl in her entry room.
"Vaine! Put her down!" She shouted while grabbing his arm.
"No... The damned b***h... needs to die!" he growled as his eyes narrowed and his nails dug into her flesh.
"If you kill her... The boy's doomed."
A soft tap interrupted the heated scene and Vaine released his victim, but his eyes never left her.
Anabel got the door to find the passing Farm boy at the door.
"I heard some shouting... Is everything alright?" he asked curiously while peeking in the house.
Vaine snarled and pulled the door open, "why don't you come in as well..."
The boy met his eyes and grinned, "Gladly.... Thank you for the invitation..."
As the boy stepped into the entry room, Vaine latched one hand on his throat, the other hand back on Mei, and threw them both up against the wall, "Boy! What the hell are you doing here... "
"... Is this how you treat an old friend?" he croaked as he pulled back on Vaine's vise grip.
"Friend!?" Vaine chuckled, half in hystarics, "You mutilated your family; my family, right in front of me! And you dare to still call me your friend?!"
The boy glared hard and a large psychic blast threw him against the wall, ".... Do you... Of all people..... Honestly believe....I was in my right mind?" he paced the length of the entryway in deep thought.
Anabel slipped into the bathroom and got her makeshift first aid kit. touching Mei's arm she took her arm and pulled her into the kitchen, "Sit. I'll bandage your wounds."
She listened as the boy and Vaine spent a good hour shouting back and forth at each other about event she had read about in history books. she didn't understand how those two knew each other, but she knew that a little boy needed her help and Vaine was currently preoccupied.
"So, Now that Dagon has a warrant out for you... Why do you keep hurting innocent people?" she asked as she wrapped a cloth bandage around her neck loosely.

(Kartane...........I'm so screwed now, Vaine i had a slim chance, but both of them now. there no need for a grave, there will be nothing left to bury.)
Mei laughed; "If you're going to lie, at least make it convincing, and why do you care what I do to these people? If you'd done what I asked to begin with, then no one would have gotten hurt, because all i wanted was Vermillion. He's my ticket out of the hell I've been stuck in, and once Isabella's throne falls under Dagon's rule. I'm sure Vermillion will be cut loose as well."
Excuse me, but lets kind of stay on task here, crazy b***h, terrorizing the town, innocent people at stake, and you can come back to your little squabble a bit later. The ring was not liking the fact Anabel was out of sight treating someone he wanted to kill.

What you don't seem to be getting is this man could obliterate this town with a mere thought if he wanted to... Vaine growled under his breath.
"Why yes, Yes i could.... But..." he slipped his silver bladed scalpel from his jacket pocket and pressed it to Vaine's neck, "Why don't i just start with you... since you're obviously too hateful to do me any good."
"Ooooh a scalpel... " Vaine joked as he pretended to be frightened, "What the hell are you planning on doing with that..."
"You'd be the 12,356th person i've killed with this... and definitely not the last."
Vaine sobered a bit and stared into Kartane's eyes, "Then make me the 12,356th person you've killed... I'll be sure to do what I should have done 195 years ago..."
Kartane released him never breaking the heavy glare they shared.
~~~~Aaaaannd BREAK!~~~~
Anabel finished wrapping her neck and taped it, "Try not to move your neck too much or the bandaging will fall loose." she grabbed the teapot and filled it, setting the full pot on the stove, she took her seat back at the table, "What makes you so sure I am lying... I am just going off of what I heard from the town crier."
"However, It is not the warrant I am interested in.... Why do you need Vermillion so soon? And why him? There are plenty other Forgers who can prepare a weapon for the gods.... You should go to the academies. They're sure to know where the best are. "

If this is going to take awhile could you please take 5, long enough to take me back to Anabel, because seriously male pissing matches normally don't end well. The ring was sounding as if this whole argument was wasting his time, and since it had nothing to do with what he was tasked to do it was really starting to get old.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There is only once a year that a particular enchantment of his can be etched, one of his many secrets he has developed on the mountain, and its part of the ring you carry. That and only he possess a blade that can break his own work, so he will need to go as well to fight those who would resist with weapons of his temper."

Vaine growled and walked passed the farmboy and into the kitchen to see Anabel talking with Mei and growled, 'There! They're fine. Now go back to her.... that way i can get an update from my p***k of a friend and you can be reunited with your "Lover"! '
He pulled the ring off his finger and set it into Anabel's hand, "Take it..."
Anabel smiled and held the ring in her hand, "Thank you for keeping it safe Vaine."
He shook his head and walked back into the entry way where they continued their reunion.
Anabel poured two cups of tea and set one by her, "What does this particular enchantment do?"

"Well from the one written account I researched if done properly it can pierce most dragon scale types. It has also been rumored, but not proven that it can make the blade of the sword burn and cause horrific damage to a body."
Vermillion opened the door to the garden and stepped in; "Hmm is this a bad time, I see you have guests present, and i could always come back later if you like." Mei wanted to move so badly, but she stayed put for the moment until Vermillion didn't have the advantage.
There came a quick couple knocks on the front door, and Sorrow opened it stepping inside. Her eyes shot quick to the farm boy she dragged up to Kaos's island; "I see that's working out alright for ya." Sorrow was just trying to be as nice as she could rather then try and get him annoyed at her again. Her eyes shot to Vaine; "Pleased to meet you, kitchen's that way right?" Sorrow pointed to the doorway in the distance. Sorrow thought to herself that from now on she was going to do the opposite of what someone suggested.

Anabel quickly sat up from her chair and ran to Vermillion. she grabbed his right hand and slipped the ring on his finger, "There, Now I don't have to worry anymore." she then smiled and lead Vermillion into the kitchen, "You're not interrupting anything... Vaine's just making conversation with his friend in the entryway... though it's quite loud... Would you like some tea?"
She heard the soft taps at the door and stopped, "One moment..." Anabel walked over to the door to see who it was and welcomed her in, "Hello, I'm Anabel.... i don't believe we've met before..." she offered her hand out to the stranger, "Would you like some tea?"

Vermillion smiled watching her go answer the door and he looked at Mei as he moved around the table. Vermillion offered his hand to Mei, Mei took it, and Vermillion led her out the door into the garden. Mei turned to close the door, and once it was shut she was slammed into it hard, her arm twisted up behind her back tot he point she swore her shoulder was about to rip out of place. "You have 5 minutes to remove that curse on that boy, and if you refuse you will loose the use of this arm for awhile." Mei had to take a minute to at least control the pain she was in to speak; "You can take all my limbs, but the boy will stay cursed until you promise to make the weapon."
Vermillion pulled his dagger and taking the tip of it he poked one of her fingers to bleed, and he put the knife away leaning in real close to her ear. " I assure you this resolve will fade in about 10 minutes, soon you will beg for me to make it stop, because unlike most of my work. This particular enchantment will support its victim to remain conscious why it kills them ever so slowly. You played your hand and lost, because that boy can die for all I care. He is not my son, and therefore I have no reason to hold back your death any longer. You should be honored that Anabel is nice to you, its more then you deserve, but don't worry I'll send your head back with a note to your boss clamped between your teeth once you're dead. Of course he'll be somewhat surprised, wondering what was going on that he wasn't aware of, and you're not a very convincing lair." Vermillion let her go pushing her out of the way of the door, and stepped back inside to sit down. Mei sat down in her chair and straighten up the bandages the best she could using the tea as a mirror.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Sorrow nodded; "I assure you we haven't, but pleased to meet you. I go by Sorrow, and I would very much enjoy a cup of tea right now." Sorrow put her hand into Anabel's, and relaxed herself enough to be led wherever the woman was going to take her.
