After running for quite a while Lupin got closer to the one who was lost "Hmm...there are two of them now...black blood and...and.." Lupin continued sniffing the air but..nothing..he knew there was somebody else out there but he couldn't catch it's scent, fortunately, what ever that thing was it was not close the little one. "I must get him quick and get back to the Liath"
After no more than 5 minutes Lupin saw the dim light of a lantern and ran towards it, finally! As he got closer he let out a warm bark so he wouldn't scare the poor thing.
"I finally found you kid, it's not safe to walk around this wood alone at night" He wagged his tail happily at him and offered a friendly smile. "Com eon you must be cold and tired, i'll take you back to were the others are"
((oh-uh..Mel has no wick? no scent? that's gonna drive lupin crazy xD))

"A surprise..? For me..?" Cuire wasn't used to surprises, and clung to Nim as she led him away. Alot of the beings here were one's he'd have never met before, and it made him shy away a bit. Normally, he was outgoing, but after spooking himself, he didn't really want to talk to people.

((Triton is the smex isnt he!? Yah I got lethality to comish arts for me, shes an amazing person artist! My girl mars was done by lethal too.)
Kaiba groaned, rubbing his scarred ghostly hand over his face. "Please don't say that..I detest being a father, and that-that child is the furthest thing from lovely that a poe can be!" kaiba grumped angrily, poes were not supposed to be lovely ditzy things, they were supposed to inspire fear and terror!
Triton returned the bow and smiled warmly, rather liking this pooka, such a sweet thing. "Oh I'm sure we'll enjoy ourselves, heh if everything continues the way it is, theres no way me or kaiba will go home disappointed" the laugh factor was enough to keep triton pleased for ages.
The pair of companions nodded as the others approached, kaiba rather curious as to what the possible surprise could be..He loved surprises! Hopefully it was a scary one..ooh how wonderful that'd be...
"Were pleased to meet you ourselves, this is quite a party you've thrown together, you must have put a lot of work into it" triton agreed happily as he admired their surroundings with a more curious gaze.
"A burning will do that brat good..." kaiba muttered in a dark hiss, only paying slight attention to liath..pfft..humans..
"Fire fire, burn burn burn..Fun...eh? Orb! Bunny.." bahtiers eyes went wide and he grinned brightly, "Bunny has ears-ears for eating bahtier eats the bunnys ears?" the giggling poe laughed sweetly, his attention suddenly snapped away from the orbs and the ears by the sound of something falling from a high place.."Ah..whas that!?" he asked excitedly, tugging on the bunnys hand as he noticed the large chunk of meat that had fallen from one of the trees. Well something had to have dropped it!

Iron nodded to Liath happily after being given permission to play. The walking stick she had was indeed a flute, but apparently not the one she would play for this gathering as she set it carefully aside and delved into a large round side container on her weathered pack. From it she pulled a Quena, medium sized flute, that gleamed white in the fire light; but before she could even play it more people arrived. She watched them enter with amusement, especially she lively trio with their exuberant fire lover, she got a good chuckle out of that and the contrast to his much more composed companions. Imra on the other hand didn’t laugh at all, but silently watched with her eyes the silly going on’s with a bit of disappointment. Lifting the flute to her mouth and closing her eyes, Iron began to play a wonderfully lively tune. ooc (( Link to my Journal I have the flutes and what they sound and look like listed there along with character info if you wish to know ^__x ))

Noir looked startled, leaping back several feet to get away from the monstrous looking canine that had appeared almost literally out of nowhere. He sent a heated glare, scowl forming on his lips. In the dark, the strange beast looked like something out of the pages of a horror story. However, the voice that came out of the strange thing was warm... and felt rather condescending.
"Kid?!" Noir snapped, instantly insulted. Certainly, he wasn't a Constellation like his other father, Joachim, but there was no reason to label him. "I'm no kid!"
Sulkily though, Noir considered the offer. He wasn't going to get much done wandering alone in the dark... "Why do I have to come anyway?" The Twilif tried not to let too much curiosity apply in his tones. "..Not that I want to."

Triton snickered at the poes sudden change in moods..Honestly the perpetually angry ghost could switch his feelings about quicker then a flood could go through a ravine.. Of course he knew, the poe generally hated all humans, and all other creatures who were in his eyes, less then 'evil'.
The sudden inpouring of noise catching his attention, that happy smile still on his face as his eyes roamed over the crowd landing on the woman with the flute.
"Im anxious to see what else you've planned here for us tonight, everything seems soo..lively though" constantly caught between poes and monsters, it was nice to see some friendly faces. Even nice to see some friendly female faces! Mnn a pair of pretty women with interesting talents? Who could have asked for more. He found himself a bit enchanted by the flute players song.
And kaiba found himself hating it, only able to scowl at the woman who played the flute, deeming it entirely too happy! Couldnt they get some decent creepy songs?

(( Shini….just don laugh to hard if Liath tries to flirt with Triton and makes a fool out of herself XD
BTW, Liath’s info is in my journal!! n.n )))Lupin just barked happily again and lowered his head “Very well young master, I apologize for offending you” after this he turned around and started walking back to the circle, stopping only to see if Noir was following him “Well, you don’t have to go if you don’t want to but… wouldn’t it be nice to attend to a party rather than walking aimlessly around this woods all alone at night? especially when there is something strange lurking around?” the wolf turned around again to hide his grin and continued walking, after all, it was the twilifs choice to come or not.
…
While everybody else was enjoying the meeting Nim took Cuire to the edge of the circle, signaled a rock for him to sit in and smiled “You wait here, your surprise will arrive in no time!” she was about to say more but she noticed Raisel could use a helping paw “ oh well, I’ll be back in no time hun!” Nim turned around and left the twilif alone.
As soon as nim turned around a strange sound emerged from the woods it sounded like somethign was moving around...something with hooves. Slowly the thing made its way to Cuire, just to hug him from behind, a sweet voice whispering in his ear "Did you miss me my prince?"
Raisel quickly grabbed her ears and shook her head “ No!!! Raisel’s ears are not for eating! T^T” she was about to call for Liath when the sound of something hitting the ground made her jump and hide behind the Poe “wha…what was that?”
“everything alright here kids?” Nim covered Raisel with her tail as she usually did when the bunny was afraid. She then looked up a tree and frowned, there was something odd there, someone or something she had never met before, so with a quick move she put herself between the little ones and whatever the thing was “You know, you may come down that tree if you want, this meeting is open for all those who want to participate” said this her body started to shine brighter, casting the shadows away.
Liath’s innocent smiled turned to a devilish grin and laughed “Oh! I can assure you master Triton, this circle is about to get livelier!” the witch looked around one last time and nodded to herself. “Well I think the time is right so if you excuse me…” Liath stood up and in less than the blink of an eye her presence had changed completely…she no longer looked like a sweet childish girl, it seemed like an air or elegance and nobility had surrounded her everything from the way she moved her hair to the delicate way she walked was fit for a queen. With a quick movement of her hand mist and shadows twisted around her hand forming the shape of a violin. With a ghostly smile in her lips she started playing the newly created instrument, at first matching Iron’s tune but then turning it slowly into a darker melody.
With a slow pace she made her way to where the biggest pumpkin was, her cape and dress, both made out of black silk, floating behind her contrasting with her ivory skin and hair, making her look as nothing less than a ghost. As soon as she reached the pumpkin Liath stopped playing the violin, turned around and received her guests with open arms and a wicked smile in her lips as the shadowy instrument banished into thin air. She whispered strange words in a tongue long lost, the bonfire flames danced higher and then the light it emitted started to dim until it was nothing but a faint glow making the whole place scarier.
“Welcome and merry meeting” her voice was low and soothing yet at the same time, strangely chilling ”I am certainly glad you could all join us this fine full moon’s night!” her grin widened as she covered her head with the capes cloak and sat on top of the large pumpkin so everyone could look at her. This was Nimrodel’s cue to make her glowing orbs change color to a gloomy blue and sickly green. “The tale you will all be hearing tonight is not for those who look for happy endings and I can assure you that every single word of it is true …Submitted for the approval of the Moonlore society, I call this story …” from the pleats of her dress Liath grabbed a leather bag and from it she took fistful of a strange powder which she later threw into the fire heightening the flames and causing a white smoke to rise “The tale of The Dripping Sound”

“A young teenage girl lived at home with her mother, father and her much loved pet dog.
Being 16 years old her parents decided that she was now old enough to be left alone without a minder while they went out for the evening. Although there was some concern about leaving a young girl in a house all by herself, they knew she was sensible and would behave. And besides, she did have the pet Alsatian dog to look after her and keep her company.
The parents left for the night, leaving Emergency phone numbers and supplies for the night. The girl was thrilled to be spending her first night alone in her parents’ house and mainly watched TV until 11.00 rolled round.”
By this point those who ventured apart their gaze from Liath started noticing something strange, they were not alone in the woods anymore. Shadows and ghastly fog gathered outside the pumpkin circle, whispering or moaning quietly; faces appearing in the fogs just to banish seconds later. Apparently none of them dared entering the circle
“Deciding she was tired she moved upstairs to her comfy bedroom to retire for the night. Her trusty dog following her at all time” her sight flicked for a second to Lupin, her most trusted companion. With a nod of her head she continued with her tale
.
“After being asleep for a short time she awoke to a dripping noise coming from the bathroom. Not afraid, but curious as to what the noise was she lowered her hand down beside her bed to gain a little comfort from the Alsatian. She felt the warmth of his soft tongue as he licked her hand, showing her that he was O.K and that everything would be alright. Feeling assured she drifted off to sleep once more.”
Drip…drip…drip…
A soft yet clear dripping sound became audible for those who gathered around the fire. Raisel turned around, trying to discover where the sound came from and being unable to fin the cause fo the sound she hid under Nimrodel’s tail.
“Waking once again to the sounds of the dripping tap, or whatever it was, in the bathroom she instinctively dropped her hand down to pet her dog. Once again her dog offered up the loyal companionship that only a much trusted and loved pet can, and licked her hand and she once again fell asleep.”
Drip…drip…drip…drip…
“For the last time she woke up again, that annoying noise was still going; she reached for her dog but found he wasn't there. Wondering where her parents were at this time of night and looking for her dog she walked out into the bathroom.”
Drip…drip…drip…drip…
“A horrifying sight met her, the dog had been mutilated and was creating the dripping noise, as blood slowly fell and pooled on the floor below.”
Drip…drip…drip…drip…
“Screaming she ran back through the house and attempted to call the police. The phone was dead, and she turned to suddenly see her parents also mutilated behind her.”
Drip…drip…drip…drip…
The shadows that had gathered around the circled were clearly agitated and mimicked the screams from the girl in Liath story.
“ Her screams could be heard as she looked down at a note written in blood, it read:
"Humans Can Lick Too ". Frightened as she was she ran madly for the stairs only to see a black figure waiting for her, arms wide open ready to catch her.”
As soon as Liath finished the story Nim's orbs stopped glowing and the bonfire flames decreased until they were almost dead. The fog and shadows crawled into the circle, crying and moaning, how ever Liath just whispered an ancient word and the light returned to the glowing orbs and the flames heightened again, casting both shadows and mist back into the woods.
With a relaxed smile the witch stood up and looked at her guest to pronounce the last words of her tale " The end"

"I've head a sudden change of heart on that woman triton! You should make offspring with her" the poe cackled applauding the story, the sheer elegance in which she'd told it! OH bravo annoying little witch of a human bravo, it was so rare that the poe got excited for anything, yet who didnt love a damned good ghost story eh? One that chilled you to your very core..oooo how the dripping had made him shiver in delight.
"You have no heart little demon, gah..and I think I just swallowed mine.." offspring..had kaiba really said? Oh gods no..Triton had the severe urge to kick the poe in the head, would have acted on it too if he didn't at all doubt the creature would have simply vanished and reappeared somewhere else. The sudden change in appearance had certainly startled triton quite a bit, from sweet and innocent to...to well...well scary alright! Though if anything he had to applaud to the magic of it all, a good backdrop and theme were as important to the story as the telling of it was. And so he found himself clapping as well. "God's I've reverted to a 12 year old, haha being frightened by well told story's of ghouls and gore. Here I'd thought I'd gotten over that stuff.." and yet the hairs on the back of his neck were still up, goosebumps everywhere, this story was a new one to him, one he'd certainly never heard before.
Bahtier frowned at the cute little bunny..so cute and soft and fluffy and huggable, how come the glowy dog only got to hold it eh? He would ahve liked to nom and hold it as well! "Oh..oh you heard it too, you see it too see something fell fell down..see.." bahtier quieted a bit when they approached the tree, glad to have nim there to look up into it and speak to whatever had dropped the thing. Finding himself only moments later curled up next to raisel hiding right alongside her in nims large fluffy tail. He hated scary story's...hate hate hate..they were too uchky!

Cuire jumped again, startled by the arms suddenly wrapping around him. He remembered this touch.. This scent.. It was all so familiar to him. Tears began to run down his cheeks as he turned around to hold the one person he loved more than anything else in the entire universe.
"K-keanu.." He murmured softly into the other's chest, his entire little body shaking. "You.. you came back... You finally came back.. " He was still in disbelief, his darling love had disappeared so suddenly one day,and he was truly hurt by it.. Almost everyday he found himself crying. But now.. He was back. "Why did you leave..? Is.. Is it because.. I hadn't grown up..?"

He crossed his arms stubbornly, eying the wolf-dog creature before him. "I don't like parties," Noir stated, tones dry. When there were too many people, it was quite hard to concentrate on himself. Not to mention, keeping up with the conversations. Still, when Lupin mentioned 'something strange lurking around', Noir lurched after the susikoira as though hellhounds were nipping at his heels.
"Wait," Noir demanded, somehow managing not to betray a lurking fear in his voice. "I'll come with you." His gaze slanted away, and he bit the insides of his lip. "You... might need my company somehow. Whatever that's around here might eat you."

As the melodies of a violin wandered suddenly into Iron’s flute song she opened her eyes in surprised joy. It was seldom that she ran into another musician, rarer still to meet one who’d play a song with her on the spur of the moment, as she was often just passing through. Liath’s violin playing was magical, and as she woand the lively song down into something slowly dark, Iron took the queue and did as well ending with a long haunting note as the fire’s light dimmed to coals.
Iron listened carefully to the tale, finding it entertaining and applauding softly, but it had been the views about the camps edge that had her hair standing on end and wondering if it would be truly safe to leave after this spook gathering was over. She put the Quena flute away in her pack a black lacquer one, hieroglyphics carved into the underside, and held it gently at her side.
Imra had been enjoying the music and frowned when it stopped. The story nor the display seemed to impress her very much, indeed all the while her attention seemed to be else where quietly searching for something, so when the tale and display had ended Imra looked about at the others with her eyes as if gauging their reactions.
Either way it seemed that these two where not much for talking.

Her appearance had gone back to that of a sweet innocent girl as she stood on top of the big pumpkin smiling at her guests, moments later she jumped down and cleared her throat “I truly hope you all have enjoyed yourselves with us tonight, for those of you who have no place to stay over the night you are more than welcome to stay with us!” a wicked smile crossed her lips once again though only for a few seconds. “In fact…I would recommend you all to stay with us tonight, there are ….things in this forest I would feel so much better if I can make sure you are all safe tonight “ her eyes lingered for a moment on Triton but then cleared her throat and looked down at Raisel “BunHun…would you mind sending one of your friend to Lupin and tell him to take our last guess directly to the house?” after that she walked to Nimrodel “ We’ll need a few guiding lights is you don’t mind darling”
Nim’s gaze from the noise in the trees to Liath and nodded “Of course, just a second!” she left out a deep sigh and closed her eyes, seconds later dozens of glowing light orbs started floating around Nim, whom latter directed them to Lia so she could point the way. Her eyes then went back to Raisel and the other little one “Little poe can I trust you to keep Raisel company?” she smiled kindly at him.
Raisel looked up at her guardian and nodded, still a bit scared cause of the story “yus!! I’ll send a fwiend for big brother Lupin!!” she flicked her tail and closed her eyes, concentrating hard on something, a minute or so later a big red butterfly materialized out of thin air and flew away. She then curled next to Bahtier “I doesn’t like ghost stories! They are cweepy!”
Keanu chuckled and ran his hand troughs the little chef’s hair “don’t be silly Cuire..i would never leave you cause you didn’t grow….” He sighed and kissed Cuire’s forehead “I’m sorry I disappeared without saying a word, that was a mistake” he held him tight in his arms and sighed “I had…things to take care of…but now im back and if I ever have to go again…I promise I’ll tell you before leaving ok?”
Lupin, somehow, managed not to laugh and nodded at the young one “Very well, thank you for accompanying me young master” he smiled and started walking back to the circle but not even 5 minutes after they had started walking a big red butterfly found its way to them and perched on Lupin’s head after a few seconds of staying perfectly still it poofed into a cloud of red dust. “hmm seems like they are going back home….we should hurry so we can catch on them’ he sniffed around and started walking on another direction “it’s not to far away now..”
After everything had been taken care of Liath motioned for her guest to follow her “Our home is not too far away from here, just a 10 minute walk” she then walked to were Triton and Kaiba where “I trust the story was of your liking master poe? Yours too I hope Master Triton?” she smiled at both of them and then started walking into the forest, Nim’s glowing orbs following her and lighting the way for the others.

"You're faster," Noir remarked before climbing intrusively on to the sukisora. He gripped the canine's fur and tried to adjust to the bones that grew on top of the strange dog. "Go."

As Nimrodel’s orbs lighted the way the young witch started walking deeper into the woods. She could hear the other whispering and this made her smile. It seemed that most of them had enjoyed the story. Good….that’s good she though for self as she kept walking, ignoring the shadows that curled around her bare feet. Most of the shadows made eerie sounds but Liath just kept walking without looking down at them. Just like flies to honey she sighed as her foot got stuck on one persistent shade.
At last, after walking for almost half an hour they arrived to a huge clearing in the woods. In the middle of it, stand a 4 story building. It looked like it was very old though well taken care of and even though it was a beautiful house it looked every bit of a haunted house.
Surrounding the mansion was a very well kept garden, roses and lilies covered most of it, there were arch made out of climbing roses a pond to the right and a green house to the left. The maze like garden was decorated with several statues. Those statues, along with the leafless trees that surrounded the place, gave it an even scarier look.
”Ah..home sweet home…” she finally said with a playful smile on her lips. By now one could not be sure if the place was normally this creepy or if Liath was playing a trick on them and made the place look like that but …well…anything was possible with that wicked little girl. Liath turned around and looked at her guest, opened her arms and smiled.
“Welcome, everyone, to the Rose Manor”
