Shade would nod to Death, though look a bit upset at his words. She folded one arm in front of her, sweeping the other out before giving a bow, the wings and such vanishing as she stood back up, necklace reshaping at her neck. "I wish you the best then Sir." she gave a smirk before looking to Lucian.
Vincent's appearance caught her off guard and she almost moved a shadow to pull him off of Lucian had it not been for the female vampire that shot her a look that could kill from across the courtyard. A moment later and they were in the conference room.
Annette didn't seem the least bit surprised with Vincents arrival, she bowed her head to him once he showed up, but stayed to guard Narcissa to make sure the wolf was alright. She only moved to sit down once they were all in the conference room. She took her seat, running her fingers over the armor as well as she inspected it. She made a note to ask her lord about the flask, though she was unsure whether to bring up Kain's visit at all.
Shade moved, and took her seat next to Lucian, elbowing him as she noticed him move the name tags. She smiled then looked toward the armor. This was all a bit sudden for some reason. "You want to explain why the armor is so important?" she asked Lucian quietly. The vampires still had her a bit on edge.

The Spiral fragment spoke.
"Potent s**t, those. Goldie would s**t a brick if he got in here..." he grumbled, looking around. He swore softly when he saw none had a helmet. That meant no possesing them. Yet. For the moment, he was pleased with sitting on Shade's shoulder like a weird parrot.

Narcisa dipped her head to Vincent, the wound on her shoulder would start to wear off, she gritted her teeth however and silently thanked Annette for her help, she'd then leave for a quick change of clothes, a pair of black pants and a white pauper shirt, she'd run her fingers along the cool metal of the armor, she'd then sit down next to Shade. Sensing tension between her and the vampire General.

"The armor...can't say I know much about it, I just know I got through it. Back in the fourteenth century or whatever the hell it was with the big man here, there was a group vying for complete control over England n' Europe. Like everyone n' their freakin' cousin, Vince here had his own castle, his own kingdom, n' his own army. His generals were...uh...well, the one I killed which is Kain's brother...then a genetic ******** made from DNA of anything n' everything Vince could find, though I never met it...some stealthy little vampire chick n' though I screwed her I can't remember her name...n' then Kain himself. They were the Four Dark Lords n' pranced around like they were the ********' horsemen er' somethin'..." He'd look to Vincent as his breathing began to grow heavy. When he'd begun to spoke he rose, though now he found himself falling back into the chair and cradling his ribs. "I'm sure...Vince can explain the rest..."
He would chuckle a bit as Lucian's trip down history lane ended, then rise his own self and look about each of the five sitting at his table. "Obviously I am something beyond mortal, and I vill admit I am one who craves power...I wanted my army to be feared and they were. But I vanted my generals to be known wherever they vent! Thus I had these four armors crafted by an individual by the name of Hephasto. In return for fresh...meat...he crafted me these armors. Lucian, your armor was crafted to enhance speed and strength beyond comprehension. Annette, your armor was made to imbue you with several interesting abilities, the most important of which being to copy the abilities of anyone you see use the ability. The armor will grant you the power of that ability for one day, but there is no limit to how many powers it can hold...Kain learned to use the armor to learn the abilities and would practice with them until he could use them without aide. It also amplifies the powers of a Nosferatu to my level, allowing nearly instant regeneration and travel by...well, bats, mist...whatever...and grants you immunity to the light and items of God. Narcisa, your armor grants you the power to remove your presence from the world, leaving you undetectable. This ability eats at your own stamina, though, so use it wisely. Shade...or do you prefer Melaina? Either way, your armor allows you to take complete control of the darkness, allowing you to summon demons as opposed to the skeletons of a necromancer, and I'd assume it would do wonders in aiding your personal powers of the shadows. Unlike the other armors, it has no set limits in time nor energy."
He'd take a deep breath having mentally applauded himself for remembering that much at least. They were bound to discover new power when wearing the armors, little things Hephasto threw in for fun and otherwise powers derived of their own willpower. "The armor itself AS an armor is unique as well. Upgrades have been made to repel small projectiles, such as bullets. They can withstand half a ton of force before you need worry of chipping it, and it will form to your body however you please. Some of us prefer heavy armor, whereas others prefer perhaps...light dresses? The armor is almost symbiotic in nature, as it will read your mind and meld however you wish and will form around you whenever you call for it. Given that we face...stronger threats...then I was prepared for, I suggest you all get well-acquainted with the armors. If you have questions: My apologies, but I cannot answer them. I could tell you all about my personal armor, but again: You armors have set powers, yes, but I have never used them much less worn them. You will have to discover them on your own."
Another deep breath and a drink form his golden goblet of crimson goodness later and he'd look to Annette first. "You're aware I can read your mind, yes? The flask was a gift from me to him...it replenishes as quick as one drinks from it with the best blood one could ask for." He'd then shoot a glare of daggers to Migoto, and given the boy's reaction of sinking further into his chair with a rather grimacing look on his peach face, it was obvious he'd been scolded on the intrusion.
Finally, he'd come to look at Shade. "Do as you will for now, but at some point I would love for us to chat. You may have Lucian present if you wish at that time, but I do request an audience with you once you're done adjusting. I will remain in the main foyer for now as I've slept more then enough...and to that ting on your shoulder I ask it do something for me as well: Go into the nearby villages and check their status...I've a nasty feeling." He'd then slam his hands together and smile. "Now you are dismissed!"
Migoto, having been scolded earlier and now glared at would keep on designing his own armor, his punishment for sleeping through Kain's intrusion. Now one for sewing something so intraquet and powerful he'd stuck himself many times, his fingers still bleeding all about. His eyes had moved to look at anyone since the glare, and he'd remain silent, diligently working.
"Speed n' power...eh, whatever." He'd remove his trench coat and toss it aside and grab the armor and it would instantly shift into a buttoned-down trench coat for him. He'd smirk and nod, then look to Melaina at his side. "You're already popular with the big man, hot s**t! So...what do you wanna do? I got my payment from s**t-breath, so I'm just gonna follow your flow."

The fragment of Spiral watched quietly, taciturn. If these armors were what Vincent said they were, then they were all in danger. If anyone with spiral power got into one...
"Shade, Lucian. As much as these armours are wonderful artifacts... We must destry them."

"I was wondering if you were going to pipe up. I'm going to guess that you're thinking the symbiotic properties of the armors could be an issue, yes? The fact they can mold? I suppose I could explain a bit further if only to save you a bit of trouble. The armors are not symbiotic, much less alive, in any way. Merely words that make describing them far more simple. If I wanted alien technology I'd not of sought out the Smith of Hell. Hephasto created them to be perfect for the user...my long absence of recent was not to actually sleep, but instead see him again to remove the properties of the four previous Lords. When our four new Lords touch their armor, the armor will lock onto their specific DNA. Should an outside source try to interfere with the armor as has happened in the past, nothing will happen. The armor shifts due to...well, to put it bluntly, pyschic readings from the wearer. It cannot, for lack of a better term, hear anyone other than its specified wearer...otherwise, Kain or Kharlan would have infected them armors long ago." He'd summon his own black heavy armor over his body, helmet resembling a dragon included and laugh.
"Think of it if you will as a removable part of their own selves; the armor becomes a piece of the wearer. Should one try to interfere with it, it would be to try and interfere with the wearer themselves...for example: If you, as a remnant were to try and posses, enter, or otherwise influence my armor at this point you would in turn have to deal with me as a whole. And should I need to make further alterations to these armors, Hephasto still owes me several favors. Now then, do you still wish to ramble on of destruction?"

"You underestimate the abilities of the Force of Evolution." the fragment said bluntly. "DNA? Is that it? Is that ALL?! That's your only prerequisite? Bloody fantastic, it'll take them ten minutes longer, then." He crossed his invisible arms. "My greater self can bend the fabric of reality itself. cloning and shifting isn't hard at all."

He'd laugh a bit while shrugging his shoulders, well as much as he could, while folding his indeed visible arms. "Should they infect the armor in some way, then it will be called back to Hephasto who will in turn figure out the source and give the armor immunity to it. Should someone fear for their armor, they can always dismiss it, at which point it goes back to Hephasto once again. He'll repair the armor and you can call it back. He has view of his weaponry at all times, thus he'll know who to allow the armor to go back to."
He'd take a seat back in his throne, dismissing his armor to allow him to sit period. He'd take a drink from the goblet, then place his hands atop one another while looking at the little fragment. "These armors were designed in the Dark Ages and I was killed before guns even came to be; bare this in mind when thinking of the armors. Yes, they provide excellent defense to the wearer, but their personal defenses are a bit arcaic and sadly I'm not well-versed in technology to fix this problem. If you'd rather make suggestions then further show your fear of this monster, then my ears are open."

"The callback and the dissmisal features are almost enough." the fragment admitted, floating over the table. "Yuo just need to link them to the one thing that I cannot ever imitate. The soul." he smiled. "The soul is the one imperishable thing that Spiral cannot ever destroy or bend, it is the one thing that holds power over him. For instance, he cannot raise hios own army of the dead... so he hired someone else."

Shade nodded once the explanation was over, agreeing to meet with him once she finished talking to Lucian. She looked down at the armor, ignoring the remnant on her shoulder for now. Why did he want to talk to her? That question bugged her a bit, so she was hoping that the armor at least helped her with the ability to mess with vampires shadows, maybe Kain wouldn't be an issue if it did.
She looked up at Lucian as he asked what she wanted to do. "I'm probably going to meet with him as soon as he's done talking to the fragment. I don't have anything else to do other then practice with this armor, which I think would be fun later." she smiled. Looking to the armor she picked it up, it switched it's shape instantly.Annette ran her fingers over the armor again, placing her palm on it this time as it shifted shape, changing into a simple pin resembling the Fleur De Li, a pair of bat like wings behind it. She smiled a bit and pinned it to her collar before moving over to Migoto. She was able to smell the blood from his pin pricks. "Do you want something for those?" she asked, wondering if she should offer him a a thimble or ointment.

Narcisa would whip her head around and bounded towards the window, her eyes widened at the sight. "My lord! there is commotion down at the bell tower!" Her ears twitched, as she would turn to look to him, her fist over her heart. "What orders do you have of us my Lord?" Narcisa grabbed her armor as soon as she would touch it, it would mold onto her form. (Pics comming soon)

"Fragment, can't Spiral just pull you back if and when he wants you?" Shade asked. She could give him a temporary body made of shadows, but she wasn't all that sure how well that would work given the difference in their abilities. Her abilities worked directly with a soul, his was unable to manipulate it. In theory they would repel each other.

"So he's here already and made an attack upon my people nonetheless...a coward calls out his opponent through the deaths of his peons...I like him." He'd laugh a bit and close his eyes at which point his hands would literally fly from his body in the form of one-eyed bats. He'd send them out and view the situation himself for a moment before recalling himself and opening his eyes.
"We have two opponents total. The first is of course Spiral, the other...I cannot say. He cloaks himself in darkness, though I believe it is safe to assume it is this individual that summoned forth the plague of creatures. His magics have summoned forth skeletons, zombies, vampires, lycans...and even a dragon, though it lacks flesh...nonetheless, it's burnt a town to cinders." He'd then look to Migoto with yet another glare. "What's more...our lead sentry, Morbido I believe his name was, is dead."
He'd let out a sigh while rapping his fingers against one another, his eyes fixed on the table. "It is possible to bind your souls to your armors, and only in this situation would I even mention it. According to Hephasto, once the armor bonds with a soul the power can become overwhelming. Kain was the only one to bind his soul to his armor, and well...look at him now. But, if you feel you have a strong enough will to keep a hold of who you are, then bind yourself to your armor...no matter what you choose to do, make it quick."
He'd rise from his seat and slam his clawed hands upon the table, his voice raising to echo through the castle. "I want that cloaked figure DESTROYED! We cannot hope to accomplish anything if we're too busy fighting off insects! And someone needs to kill that damned dragon! Narcisa, Migoto, Annette, Lucian! You four are to leave NOW! No further questions; leave and bring me back my land!"
He'd slowly come to sit back upon his throne, his head in his hands...though a smile was spread upon his faint lips. "Melaina...stay. I've a request for you before you're sent out...but it is for your ears alone. You have my word I'll do nothing to hurt you...I merely wish to ask you...well. You'll see when these slugs get the HELL OUT OF HERE!"
He'd look to Annette with a faint smile, one that was obviously fake and shake his head. "No no, I'm alright. My fingers are the last thing that should be on your mind right now..." He'd look to his Lord and sigh as he caught another glare and immediately rise, and with a flash of light he was dressed in his new kimono, his armor...already soaked with his own blood. The moment his Lord began to grow angry, he'd begin to leave. "I'll do what I can to settle the dead." With that, he was gone.
"Touchy little p***k, isn't he? Like a teenager bein' scolded..." He'd snicker to himself and lean back in the chair while listening to Vincent. "Christ, sounds like the Apocalypse out there...someone hates you! N' it ain't Kain...he'd a' show n 'emself to take credit. Well, whatever..." He'd jump from his seat and look to Melaina. "If he tries anything, just tear em' apart. He wouln't admit it, but he's weaker n' any of us right now. So no worries!" He'd grin and rub her head before looking to the two ladies he'd be...working...with.
"Alright, so the faerie's workin' on the deadite-wannabes. Two of us are gonna need to take on Spiral to have a chance given one's gonna need to distract while the other attacks while the third takes on the robed ********." He'd begin heading out the door and snicker, his Remmington coming into hand once again. "I'll be one of the two." And he'd be gone.
