He found levitating down the hallways to have been a perfect means to go about through the gigantic castle. If his feet didn't touch, then he couldn't be heard! His breathing had even settled down. Though, he found it strange that at the end of this grand hallway...were two set of spiraling stairs. He could angle himself to see one lead to another hallway while the other seemed to go one for a rather long time...thus he chose to rise up through the middle of the spiraling stairs via flight rather than climb them. Eventually they'd end at two large iron doors and upon opening them, he grew confused.
He was now outside, snow falling all over. He could barely hear the waves in the distance as walls rose up around what must have been the courtyard. He'd land himself in the snow, his bare feet unable to feel cold for now. He'd look about at the frozen statues of...angels? Hardly seemed appropriate for this place. He'd come to the fountain in the center, frozen as well of course and run his hand over the cold stone while talking in a low tone. "Beautiful in an eerie sort of way..."
He'd keep moving after having snapped an icicle of the frozen water off of the fountain to suck on. Beyond the courtyard was another tower in the distance...though the only door he saw was the one he'd entered from. He'd levitated into the air to look upon the foyer...but nothing. "It's safe to say he's in the highest tower, right? Coldest up there n' such...but there's gotta be a way in there from here. Any ideas, Spiral?"

Narcisa would leap down from the courtyard walls, she wonders all over including the courtyard and sometimes the halls. The snow fell softly almost turning her pelt from black to white. Mr. Lucian, what are you doing here? You should be in your bed sleeping. She'd look around ears perked as her toxic yellow hues looked to him wondering what in her Lord's name was he doing.

"Back off!" He'd quickly rip the stitching of his hands open causing a bit of blood to trickle out onto the snow. He'd create two rather simple and cliched Desert Eagles and take aim at the wolf, his eyes yet to change to show his "other personality." He had been feeling its presence, but nothing strong yet...funny he only felt it when he used Spiral's power.
"I'm getting to Vincent...I gotta talk to him 'bout somethin' that sure as hell don't concern you n' if you think I ain't able to kill ya, well, you wouldn't be the first dog I put down in this castle." He'd pull the hammers of each gun back, waiting for her to move. "Silver nitrate hollow point rounds...even if they didn't kill ya you'll be beggin' for death n' I swear, you move n' I shoot. Move and inch left n' I shoot two inches left so you can run right inta' the path. So I'm gonna give ya one friggin' option...show me how to get to Vincent."

Ral (the name the fragment had given himself, as part of Lucian's persona had changed him) watched wordlessly.
It's a solid bet. Ah course, you could just chain the girl down using Green Fire binds. But that'll take a lot of power, and it might not be a check a fragment like me can cash.

Annette walked out into the courtyard, sword in hand as she was hoping to practice a bit. She stopped as she noticed teh floating figure and Narcissa. Rolling her eyes she sighed and put her sword away. "Thats a fine way to treat the one that carried your passed out self back to this castle. Please keep in mind that your being housed here, not cause you asked, but because our master would like to speak with you as well. How about asking instead of sneaking around." She moved off to teh side and entered a fencers stance as she started practicing.
"You may be here, but another general is still in the room with your friend, And when I last checked she's sound asleep." Her eyes slid to look at Lucian, best make sure all your bases are covered before you attempt throwing threats around, especially to those that are being hospitable."

Spiral emerged with a chuckle.
"I'd say the same to you." he said. "Especially since my greater self is coming back."

Kain M ShZual "Back off!" He'd quickly rip the stitching of his hands open causing a bit of blood to trickle out onto the snow. He'd create two rather simple and cliched Desert Eagles and take aim at the wolf, his eyes yet to change to show his "other personality." He had been feeling its presence, but nothing strong yet...funny he only felt it when he used Spiral's power.

Narcisa growled low, hackles raised as her paws dug into the snow, she was suppose to make sure that he was alright, well seeing as it seemed like he was she'd then look up to the tower. Seeing as you are doing better, I can show you to him, scaling the walls would be stupid...even for you. She'd then eye Annette and walked over to her.He is apparently ready to speak to our Lord, General. Should we wake Migoto?

He'd laugh a bit and shake his head while he'd twirl his gun, the usual sign of his ammo having changed, thus one gun was aimed at Narcisa and the other at Annette. "Last I remember the one with the most power got ta make the demand n' currently I got a HELL OF'A LOT MORE! I ain't gonna be intimidated by some lil' french wench that knows better n' to damage Vince's goods...see, you'rep roving you're dumber n' a dog right now! Freakin' wolf knows what to do n' say"
He'd feel a bit sick all of the sudden though he'd ignore it. It was the same feeling he'd first had when he gave into using Zadkiel and Spiral's powers at once, which now doubt overdosed him on Spiral's power thus he'd converted sooner then usual. It would of been a lie to say he'd merely been sleeping while he lie in that bed...he'd been figuring things out.
"You, french chick...you're one'a the generals, right? What's he call em'...a Dark Lord? You, this wolf n' the fairy boy, right? Yeah, I dealt with the likes before...Vince hired me n' my goons to attack his castle. Sounded dumb as hell; somethin' about rallying another general. In the end I tore a wolf apart n' made sure some lil' vampire chick got ta see the light! Both of em' Dark Lords with the armor you ain't even been given yet; might wanna ask about it! It'd'a given ya the edge right now!" He'd laugh a bit and place the drips of the guns to his head in an attempt to hold it as a piercing pain entered his head.
Eventually he'd just step back and take aim again, one eye now cerulean and the other roso. "Yeah, I remember now...Some punk named Ishado, that was the dog. He was kinda tough...n' the chick...somethin' with an M; still. Least she wasn't french...POINT IS! I killed two Dark Lords WITH their armor. I can SURE as s**t repeat the past...so just PISS OFF n' lemme do what I need to do, eh?"

Annette didn't seem to pay any attention to him, short of rolling her eyes. "I'll see if Migoto cares to join in this. Your in charge of watching him though Narcisa. I'll be up shortly." she said, finishing a short range stance. Standing straight, she replaced her sword and headed for the door. She wasn't going to bring up whether the gunman thought he was fast enough to hit a vampire, he didn't seem all that healthy to begin with. "Fighting while ill will get you killed." she said while passing him. A moment later she vanished.

Be careful, kiddo. Even a great artist can only do so much with dry clay. And trust me, you're pretty dry at the mo- his train of thought was interrupted by a loud crash in the forest. <********! my greater self has returned...

Narcisa held her ground, teeth bared as she nodded her head while Annette went to go get Migoto, ears pinned back against her skull as she listened to what Lucian did. Still, she bent forward tail swaying up and down to keep her balance as she narrowed those toxic yellow hues. You are obviously not well, our job is to make sure your well before you talk to Lord Vincent.

Annette's voice, then Spiral's, then Narcisa's...and this fourth voice laughing in his head? He was feeling more and more ill with each passing second. "Everyone just SHUT UP! How smart is it to piss off the guy with the guns!?" He'd allow Annette to go without conflict if only to alleviate one voice, leaving him with three more. He'd flip the gun previously aimed at Annette and bring it's barrel back upon Narcisa's path and begin to hunch.
"s**t..." He'd begin to slowly pace before hearing that laughter again. "Damn it..." He'd place one gripped hand against his head and begin debating shooting the wold. "********..." Finally the laughter would cease. His eyes would grow wide and the voice in his head would scream. "SHOOT!" And thus he would, firing a single hollow-point explosive silver nitrate round at Narcisa meant to burst and splash the silver nitrate all over in the event he'd miss. "SHUT UP!"
He'd grab his head with both hands, dropping his guns and breathing hard. "******** Vincent...YOU OWE ME! I KILLED HIM! I cursed myself with YOUR bitter rivalry! Damn it...Spiral, I hate to say this but I NEED you! Please; why did I come here in that...other form; as that other me!? I know why I would come here, but that part is...different! Spiral, listen: That part of me ain't good for either of us! It's the sicker part of me...n' a smarter part. I've come to like ya but that other side...that Hyde part of me would tear you from me and replicate your power!"
He'd get to his feet and move to look through a stone opening towards the forest, oblivious to Narcisa for the moment. "You say the you, as in the entity Spiral is here? Fine, that's fine...I just need what Vince owes me from killin' Kain's dipshit brother! He owes me money, weapons...and a hideout. I know he's got it, I just gotta collect...I'll let you stick around Spiral...fragment...thingy, but you can't corrupt me! Worth WITH me! Don't keep corroding me until I turn into that...freak! World's got enough freaks, and quite frankly: It's a threat to Melaina!" He'd then hear a sharp pinging in his head and scream, slowly muttering what the voice was repeatedly babbling in his head.
"In the name of Archangel Zadkiel and Holy Amethyst, I AM the violet flame in action in me now!" He'd try to cover his mouth, though find it futile. "I AM the blessing and buoyancy of the violet flame! I AM freedom from - " He'd manage to use Spiral's power to use his without interference, thus he'd sew his mouth shut before he could speak the final word. "Spiral-fragment Thingy...remember WAY back when I told Gilgamesh that Zadkiel had a fail-safe? It's me. I speak the prayer and our consciouses will switch places...same for Melaina, but I doubt she knows the prayer. He'd trying to take over...between the two of you, my mind's gonna be split apart. DO SOMETHING!"

I will do my best. the fragment said simply. Lines of green power extended down Lucian's limbs, wrapping around them and his mind, solidifying him and his personality. It was a stopgap measure until Shade arrived and removed him, but it would work for centuries. Spiraling, intricate green networks of restirctors appeared on his chest and face as well, softly glowing as he maintained them.
Even Zadkeil's great power would pale before this tiny fragment of the thing that fueled all evolution. Personally, the fragment was insulted that Zadkeil would even try!
There. That should help... for now.

Annette arrived soon, Shade in tow. She raised a brow at the green lines that seemed to have tattooed themselves on Lucian. "Those weren't there when I left." she informed Shade.
"Fragment." Shade explained, stepping forward. "Wanna explain whats going on real quick?" she asked, needing to keep her distance as she noted the green restrictions. Now she was curious as to why they were there. "Didn't we discuss removing Spiral, now you've gone and embedded yourself?" she asked confusedly.

"The issue is that my power has created an alternate persona for him. I am binding its power and thus it's manifestation... Remove me and the problem will solve itself." Ral said simply.
