Riskia's Island

[Riskia Vetis]

Island
Located within the Bermuda Triangle, the large island which is controlled by Riskia hold four different ecosystems. Marine, Rain forest, Highland, and Cliffs, all of which seemed to be untouched to capture there beauty. Surrounded by coral reefs and hidden lagoons, the soft sands of the island are scarce as most of the coast is sheer drops and deep caverns created over many centuries. Located at the highest point of the island it the Manor, a newly constructed building to replace the Mansion which was burnt down. To the south and toward the Agility course is the rain forest, wide variety of creatures live her, some poisonous for pre-warning.


Agility Course
What seemed like miles of forest just outside the Helsing Manor was actually modified with the likeness of an heavy duty army boot camp agility course, except much tougher. Rope shouts, tunnels, webbed traps, tree climbing, balancing beams, high walls, deep drops, anything you could think of was made within the massive course that would take countless hours for a human to try to navigate.


Helsing Arena
Built in a likeness of the Roman Coliseum, the Helsing arena is humongous, able to comfortably fit several hundred visitors. Massive arches great all as they are lead into the main hall, a wide variety of weapons and armor scattered across the chamber which can be used. The arena extremely large, many broken or cracked pillars line the outer perimeter of the dome. Pit traps and animal cages lay hidden below the sands waiting to be activated and tripped.

As Riskia and Arilyn waited for Unryu to retrieve the phoenix, the resumed where they had left off. Going over the death count and the cost of all the new additions to the island. It was going to be hitting her pockets fairly deep, but it seemed that the Lycans have shown no further interest in the island. After all, they believed both the Matriarch and Patriarch were killed in the fire. Hearing the sound of chains being dragged on the ground, both woman turned to regard Serafina who was in her human for now. They both stared at her in confusion to her words than to each other and simultaneously rolled there eyes not really caring that the phoenix was saying. Probably some insult or curse, it matter little to Riskia, but the next thing she sees does bring an amused smile on her face. The bright red hand print on his check…that had to hurt, she mused to herself letting out a single laugh. “Come,” she ordered turned on them to and redirecting her attention to Arilyn who was holding similar thoughts about the slapped dragon as well. Leading the way off the vessel, the two vampire resumed there business softly to themselves, not loud enough for Unryu or Senafina to hear as they made there way to the Manor.

♦The Dragon Elementalist♦

Looking between his Mistress, Serafina, and trying not to stare at Arilyn, Unryu lets out a heavy sigh, closing his eyes as he directs his gaze down to the wooden deck. He is still somewhat tired, and feels as though he should still be sleeping. Well, it is getting close to midnight, and his Mistress just so happens to be a vampire. So he is going to be up during the night and sleeping during the daytime, which is to obviously be expected. But being with Serafina just has him slightly nervous, and gets the feeling she hates him for following their Mistresses orders. He cannot help the fact that he wishes to stay unharmed, and just be obedient. Unryu has always been the obedient type, and does not question anything, ever. He guesses Serafina is just a rebel, and that cannot be helped. Unfortunately, he does not wish to see her harmed the same way he has been. The tortures that their Mistress has in mind and eventually brings out upon them, which consists of whippings, or to literally breaking their limbs. So many different kinds of tortures, and the sound of them makes him feel fairly uneasy. Sighing, Unryu looks up to his Mistress, nodding to her as he follows her and Arilyn towards the Manor, ready to head inside and get things settled...

It has been literally two days of constant flying, and dammit, Avilion is pretty impressed with the time they have made getting to this island. He has given Alyara the directions towards the island that lays hidden within the Bermuda Triangle, and she followed them like a true navigator of sorts. He can say that Alyara definitely needs to be repaid with something, as he really does owe her one for providing such fast transportation. Now flying extremely close to the shores of the island, Avilion points to the forests where Alyara can land, having her land in the middle of the forests. His legs are without a doubt stiff, causing him some troubles to even stand on his own after dismounting Alyara. He cracks his knuckles and his neck, letting out a small sigh as he looks at Alyara, chuckling lightly. "Thank you, Alyara. I really do owe you one for the fast transportation. A ride on the ship would have taken a week to get here, where as you got us here in two days. I am pretty freaking impressed, and you deserve to be rewarded. When we reach the Coven and some stuff is settled, you can have or do whatever you want. You name it, and I'll have it done." he tells Alyara, grinning to her as he begins to examine his surroundings. So many memories on this island. Even though he has only been on this island for a year, a lot has happened that a book could very well be written about it. Chuckling lightly to himself and shaking his head, Avilion begins to walk in the direction towards to where the actual Coven is located. It isn't far from their position, and will only take about ten minutes to actually reach the Helsing Mansion...

In little more than two days, Alyara continued her steady flight over the ocean at her steady yet swift pace. ((260 mph according to 3.5 D&D Monster Manual for dragons, but for the purpose of the rp-much slower...like 50 mph to make a 2,000 mile trip)) If the wind had not been on there side it may have taken much longer and consumed more of her energy, but one thing she was good at was endurance as the island was now in sight. Though her eyes did slightly sting from the long exposure of the sun as she had to keep her eyes slightly open to keep on course. Looking at where Avilion was pointing to for a landing, Alyara prepared to descend at a glide. Hitting the ground in a gallop to absorb the impact of the landing and slowed to a stop. She thoroughly enjoyed the flight feeling at home in the sky despite the uncomfortable stinging form the sun. Letting Avilion dismount as well as Ket, Alyara shook her whole body, shaking the exhausted and stiff limbs as well as rustling her fur wildly before exhaling deeply and relaxing. “Anything that makes life easier for you, and I would ask is for some rest.” She tells him taking a moment to fold her massive wings against her back and follow after him, Ket in tow toward a large structure she could only assume was the Coven.

Avilion stops for a moment, looking over his shoulder to look at Alyara with a raised eyebrow. All she wants is rest? Really? That is it? Rest is an obvious thing, as he was going to without a doubt allow her to rest as long as she wants. Chuckling lightly and shaking his head, he turns his body fully towards Alyara, folding his arms against his chest as he looks at her. "I planned on allowing you to rest one way or another, as that is an obvious thing. You ave done nothing but fly for two days straight without rest, so rest is something you deserve. I mean besides rest, is there anything else you wish? Come on, Alyara. Think outside that box of yours. I am sure there is something you wish to have or do, considering I do owe you one for getting us here in such a short amount of time. And just for the record, making life easier is boring..." he pauses for a moment, then begins to wag his right index finger as he laughs slightly. "If life were to be easy for me, then there would be no fun in life at all. I have always preferred my life to be somewhat technical, sometimes enjoying the challenges that are set out before me. The challenges that I manage to complete only makes me stronger in one way or another. Call me crazy, but that is how I see it." he explains to Alyara, shrugging his shoulders as he grins to her. "On another note, did you think about what we talked about earlier?"

Alyara let out a heavy sigh as she stopped at Avilion’s side, her ears pulled back slightly with her head down toward the ground. Once again he was giving her an option and had even told her to think outside the box…what box? Yet the only thing she desired right now was rest, nothing more nothing less. As for living an easier life, her own life was fairly simple and plain. If it wasn’t full of pain, suffering and turmoil, it was overwhelming with extremely long periods of silence and solitude. No she feared a life that was more challenging, main reason why she feared to do anything she was not trained to do. She feared change more than anything and would rather live a dull life than learn of hate, betrayal, and love. She shook her head letting out an irritated sigh and turning her gaze back to the Coven. “Like I have said last time we discussed this, I desire nothing from you and would like it if you stop your insistent offers and promises as they mean nothing to me. All I request is rest, now stop worrying about me and deal with your own issues and needs.” She growled coldly walking past him now to go to the Coven, her ears coming back up to the alert.

Avilion raises an eyebrow to Alyara as she seems to be getting irritated with him for asking her if she wished for anything else. Once again, he gets the same response as before, as this is beginning to become rather tedious. Why can't Alyara just act normal and wish for other things instead of stuff that of a mindless drone. Honestly, she could just say yes or no to his question, bot having to give him attitude. Rolling his eyes and letting out a heavy sigh, Avilion shakes his head as he begins to go back on his way towards the Coven, it coming closer and closer as the trees are seeming to be further apart from each other. He is beginning to be able to sense Riskia, as it is becoming a lot more clear as to where she is. Walking a little further with Ket and Alyara towards the Coven, the Manor comes into view as the three emerge from the trees, Avilion staring at the Manor as this cannot be right. This cannot be the Coven, as the Coven was a lot bigger than this. He just stares at the Manor that is the Coven, sensing that Riskia is within the walls of the building. What happened when he escaped this place? This doesn't seem right, which causes him to sigh and shake his head. He tries to piece together what might have happened to the old Helsing Mansion, and cannot seem to piece together any ideas. There's the idea of the Lycans coming to this island and destroying the Helsing Mansion, and the vampires having to rebuild. But that couldn't have happened since he left... could it? He leads Alyara and Ket towards the front door of the Manor, seeing that the security design is still the same. Thank God, that means that his keystone isn't obsolete and he'll be able to enter the Manor is no problem. They really should have taken away his keystone if they wanted to keep him out. Reaching into his pockets with his right hand, he pulls out the keystone, holding it for a moment as he keeps his gaze upon the lock. "Alyara... answer me this, and do not give me any attitude, as I am more than serious about this. If I were to grant you your freedom, would you accept it...?" he asks Alyara in an emotionless tone, turning his gaze to her. Part of him already knows the answer, but another part of him is curious...

Xx…Alyara…xX

As soon as Avilion called her name, she knew the question that was lingering in the back as him mind as he asked her to be serious. She let out a sigh and looked at the strange structure that was the door, wondering both on how one was to get inside and what she would do. He sort of answered the first question for her as he pulled out a strange looking dagger, but it looked to fragile to be used for fighting with. As for the other, she had never really thought about what she would do if she was given freedom as it was something she completely given up on. What would she do with herself any was, probably find a hole to sleep in during the day and stare at the starry sky at night. That is all she really ever known to do in life, to wait. Confident in her answer, she turned to looked sadly at Avilion. “No, I would not accept freedom.” Alyara held the stare for many moments before looking at the crescent moon. “I have lived this life style all my life, for more than a hundred and thirty years and I fear what will happen if it were to change. I rather live a life I know than to be lost once more.” She was more fearful of the world around her than he would ever know, each time she dealt with change it had been harsh on her. At least being a slave, she knew what to expect pain wise and could remind herself of the smaller picture…She was a slave and he was a master. “You won’t understand,” sighing not removing her gaze from the moon, her tail curling beside her as she waited for him to respond.

Avilion keeps his gaze upon Alyara as the dagger like key stays within his right hand, his grip tightening around it as she explains her reasoning behind her answer to his question. He narrows his eyes to her as he was just about to insert the keystone into the lock, then pulls away for a moment as he turns fully yo Alyara, a little disgusted with her answer. "Is that it, Alyara? You fear change...?" he asks her, folding his arms against his chest as he leans backwards against the locked door to the Manor. "Let me tell you something, Alyara. One way or another, change is going to occur. Although fearing change is a very common thing with everyone and everything, it is something everyone is going to have to face sooner or later. For example: Me..." Avilion pauses as he lets out a small sigh, as he is going to have to explain this just so that Alyara can understand it. "I was born and raised as a human being like I have told you. Like stated in my story, I was turned into a vampire. Now, the life of a vampire and a human are completely different in a sense. Becoming a vampire is rather painful, and quite the pain in the a** process. If you do not understand how one is turned, the victims body has to be completely drained of all their blood, then they have to drink the vampires blood, and soon their heart will die along with them. Then the victim is to be buried in the Earth for a few days, and eventually they shall come out as a vampire..." he explains to Alyara, shaking his head as he keeps his gaze upon her. "The point I am trying to make here, is that my life completely changed after turning into a vampire. I too, feared change as I was hesitant on turning into a vampire, but I did it just for the sake of being with Riskia and not having to worry about growing old. She helped me get through the hardships of turning into a vampire. Being there for me and helping me control my thirst for blood amongst other things. I am willing to help you, as Riskia helped me..." he tells Alyara, letting out a small sigh. "But alas, it is simply your decision. I understand that I haven't been around as long as you are, but still..." Avilion stops leaning against the door and flips the keystone around a couple of times within his right hand, ready to head inside and finally confront his love...

Alyara closed her eyes and shifted, listening to his life struggles caring little about his tale. As she predicted, he would spin her own words for a meaning which was entirely different than what she had meant. Yes she feared change, but that was because for all her life her decisions and choices were taken away from her. It wasn’t like she was a wild animal forced into a life a slavery, but born into this life. Growing up with rules and no freedom what so ever, if she was given the choice to be free…she would be lost. Both physically and mentally, she had no place to call home and she had lived in the darkness with limited food and rest for so long. She would have no idea of what to do to care for herself, she had never done anything for herself and surely she would starve to death out on her own. His life was very different from her own, yes he made a decision to change his life forever, but he did it for the love of his life. Alyara had nothing, no one to count on or care about. She care little of her own life, no memories worth looking back to for comfort. Only the cold ground below her paws and the bright shine from the pale moon for company. No, she would return to the life she knew…or end it. Alyara shook her head choosing to keep her own thoughts to herself, they were at the front door of the Coven and her master had pressing business to get done.
