Seraphim nodded, "I see the connection, but Madam Scathach is far more alluring" He muttered to himself, then shrugged when he mentioned Adrain and Oly. "What is happening with Vivian? She is troubled, are you not worried?"

Oy took his hand and climbed up onto the platform with him, "This place is so.... Depressing." And it was. Dreary and bleak, "I don't know how you stand it."
Scathach ground her teeth together angrily, "Comhairle damanta." She ran her hand through her hair, "Is dócha nach féidir leat dul ann ansin." She turned to the Morrigan, switching back to English, "Take her with you to Faerain."
Aoife shook her head, "I'm not a child, Scathach. If you can stay in this realm, I can to." Her temper began to rise.
"They have your blood, little sister. You can not stay here." She locked eyes with her twin.
Aoife scoffed, "You'r ten minutes older than me, that does not put you in charge of my affairs! And I promise I can handle myself." THe two stood glaring at one another, locked in a stalemate of will. Firey green eyes met blue, and neither backed down.
Morrigan stepped forward as a mediator, "Perhaps we should let the Angels that rule this island deide." She looked to Seraphim and Thrones, "What do you think?" She coldn't help but be a bit ammused as neither of the sister looked away from one another.

Adrian steped onto the platform as oly did, and holding her hand so as to reasure her she wouldnt fall. the platform raised up and started off slowly picking up speed, usually he would just shoot off, but he didnt want to knock oly off because she wasnt ready. "well i'd say that the usual blade a few inches from my face is enough to distract me from the area. but this is a battle field, cold and relentless, emotionless and unwavering, this is the essence of war, and war is just a state of mind, just as this place is a state of my mind." and really when it came down to it, he would need to be in that state of mind when the battle started, but with oly here he wasnt sure if he could manage that.
the figure noticed the use of the flames far off, in a general direction, it sped off that way, still to far away to see anything, or for anyone to see him.

Seraphim nodded then turned to the three women. He smiled and pushed his hair back. "I am sorry ladies, but we will need all the details of what your were saying before we can make a decision"

Oly was silent for a long moment, taking thi all into her mind. A sudden, terrifying thought came to her, "What happens if someone were to die here?" She wrapped her arm around his waist as they sped up, careful to keep her balance perfect.
Scathah and Aoife nodded, looking like mirror images of one another, "Very well, then." They turned to Seraphim, finally looking away each other. Scathach spoke first, "Apparently, as I have been so informed, my Isle has been laid under seige by the Vampire Council. They have erected a barrier over my original one."
Aoife spoke up, "It's a double edged sword. Defense on the outside, which means no one can get in, and offense on the inside, rendering escape impossible." She gestured to her twin, "And my lovely sister here, wants to send me away to Faerain. I am not planning to leave this realm."
Scathach sighed, "It's in her best intrests. The Council has her blood and can use it against her."
Aoife sighed, "I can take care of myself just fine. What my Scathch des not seem to realize is that I am quite competent."
"I want you where I can keep an eye on you, Aoife. Go to Faerain."
Aoife raised an eyebrow, "And leave you unattended? I think not."

Seraphim took the chance to step forward and laied a hand on both of the women's shoulders. "Ladies, lets relax and take a step back here." He said and took a breath, "Rose why would they want to take your island? And why cannot Aoife stay here? She Would be safe with three Angels here and you"

Adrian was begining to get closer and closer to that cold state of mind, when she wrapped her arms around his waist he did not move, when she asked him about death here he did not even blink differently "all i know of that, is that if i die here im locked away for eternity in a limbo of my own body, forced to watch through my own eyes, as it controls everything about me. i can only assume that seeing as you dont have such a being inside of you, that if you die there is nothing to force you to live so that it may live, thus you will die." the platform leveled off in speed.
the figure in the distance was closeing in on adrian and oly, it was now just hardly in range of seeing them, however it was nothing but a black figure on a black platform, in a black mist, so it was highly obscured at this distance.

Oly nodded solemnly, then shivered. It was kinda cold here, in a very strange way. She thought about what Adrian had said. This was obviously no ordinary dream. If she died here, she died in real life. She held up her hand, planning to create a bit of fire to warm her, but when she tried, she found she could do nothing. There wasn't so much as a spark. Her face paled, "Adrian... I can't use my powers. Is that normal?"
Scathach placed her hand over Seraphim's, "They want my Isle simply because it is mine."
Aoife stiffened when Seraphim touched her, but kept her voice relaxed, "They despise Scathach. She is what is known as a Rogue. A Vampire that has not submitted a vial of his or her blood to the Council. They have tried multiple times to obtain her blood, but every time they fail." Aoife talked about her twin with a strange mixture of absolute love and complete disdain.
"Aye, Aoife's correct. Also, fighting on your side during the war did not help. And I suppose I never thought that Aoife could stay here. But now that you mention it, it seems like a good idea."
The Morrigan sighed in relief, "Thank the gods that is more or less resolved. I thought I was going to have to tear you two apart from one another."

Adrian looked confused for a moment "no, if anything your powers should be stronger here, they should be easier to use....oh no, i didnt think that would affect you here." he thought for amoment how to explain it. "scathach blocked all of your powers, i just thought that would only affect you in the real world." his concentration on getting to the state of mind he needed to be in was being inturupted and this was getting harder.
In the now closeing distance he figure shot a large black ball of fire towards the two of them, with him alredy going top speed the fire ball was catching up to them quick from behind.
adrian was about to say something again but instantly jerked around twisting his torso with his hand in the air "Get down." he smashed his hand down along with the twisting motion, his hadn colideing with the fire ball sending it at dangerous speeds to the ground with a large explosion, the platform became unstable and adrian grabed onto oly as it broke underneath them, he twisted his body in the air so that he was the only one that would hit the ground and she would be safe...er.

Oly nodded, swallowing hard and cursing her grandmother in her head, "So, I guess I'm pretty much defenseless. I need to -" She gasped in surprise when the fireball came at them. She ducked, then yelped when they fell. She clutched the front of Adrian's shirt and screamed into his clothes. When they hit the ground, the breath was knocked out of her and she gasped for air. She tumbled off of him and wrapped her arms around her stomach, groaning softly.

Adrian gasped for air as he hit the gorund, but was denied it when oly following half a second behind him had impacted with him. after she tumbled off of him he rolled over onto his hadns and knees trying to get a breath, but stood up regardless. he looked over to oly, and in a nearly breathless voice "i understnad if it hurts, but you have to get up, you arent defensless, i know you arnt." he snaped his fingers and in a riseing puff of black fire a sword seemed to form in his hand, but this wasnt like his sword in the real world, this one wasnt black, it had color, it had become real. he pushed it into the ground a few feet to her side and snaped again makeing another one. "im not asking you to fight, but i am asking that if something happens to me try and defend yourself untill it ends."
the figure landed about 20 feet away from them, and looked curiously at oly then looking to adrian, and saying in that dark demonic voice "you brought me another play thing. however here i have my own body one that you cant try and fight every move i make in, oh the things i could do to that poor girl."
adrian didnt move but he looked furious which actually helped for the moment,l he stood there a moment and closed his eyes, takeing in a deep breath, and opened them again. however his eyes looked cold and emotionless after he opened them.

Oly nodded and stumbled to her feet, using the sword to haul herself up. Now that she was standing, her breath flowed easier. Anger flew through her and she growled softly at the demon. She picked up the sword as her facial features shifted, becoming sharp and harsh, "You'll do nothing to me." She didn't particularly like the sword, but the feel of the hilt on her palm, the perfectly balanced blade, made all of her natural battle instinct come rushing back. She didn't like to fight, but skill with a weapon seemed to be a dominant trait in her family. She shifted her weight and stood at the ready, sword raised.

The demon laughed "oh how little you know dear." he looked back and forth between the two of them, contemplateing on who to attack first, he knew adrian was weaker now because of earlier today, and he noticed oly not being able to use her powers. "oh it's like a kid in a candy shop, i just cant pick...oooh better yet i think i'll have both." he raised one and and snaped his fingers, the noise echoed throughout the battlefield, and another dark figure seemed to morph out of him, they were identical, both charged at the person they were standing opposit to.
adrian blocked and redirected the first move effortlessly with just his right hand on the sword. "it must be a bit hard to controll towo people at once when they are fighting different targets, this has never happened before has it."
the cloned demon chargeing at oly had redyed itself for a full swing and as it arrived tried to carry through with it, it did however have two flaws in it's moves that any swordsman could spot and take advantage of.

Seraphim smield and clapped his hands together. "Then its settled, Aoife will be given Cherbum as a guard. There is a room next to his that is available." He said and then touched Scathach's shoulder gently. "I will need to see you in my office after the dinner meal. There are. . . . matters to be discussed" He said and smiled at her sister beforewalkni back towards the school.
