Located in a remote northern island off the cost of Ireland there is a Mediterranean mansion that dominates the grassy landscape. During the summer months a vast amount of wild flowers will decorate the greenery and in winter months snow covers the ground for vast periods of time. The island has been aptly named Alana Oran Ennis or Peaceful and Serene Green Island for its unusually calm weather year round. The mansion and everything else around it is better known as the Lee Estate.
Though very hard to travel to unless you know its exact location, the Lee Estate is privately owned property. Only those with the proper permission may walk its lands leisurely or enter its esteemed house. Where travelers can enter is the coastal community where all travel boats to the island can port. The population of this town is small and hand-chosen, but they are very friendly and helpful creatures.
There are times when rumors of travelers disappearing spring up, but the locals do not seem to know anything about it. Most conclusions are that the people become lost in the countryside and starve. Others say that the ruler of the Lee Estate kills them for trespassing and hides their bodies. Either way, the reports do show up sometimes, but are quickly forgotten about with the new influx of tourists to the seaside community.

Its so quiet here.....Always so quiet.... Narssissuss thought to herself as she sat in deep meditation. The summer air was gently blowing through the grasses and flowers of the courtyard where the woman sat alone in her own thoughts. It had been several years since there were any real inhabitants of the house. No servants, no permanent residents, not even visitors. The only occasional visits were from the people of the town who brought yearly offerings in thanks for their good fortune and sanctuary from the mainland harshness of society and government of which they did not fit into. But even then they came and went quickly, leaving the house quite silent on its beautiful grounds.
There were times where disturbances were made. It was from when the spirits of those who were allowed to reside in the house would spring loose from their spirit realms and find sanctuary within the walls of the large estate. Normally it was spirits of the vampire ancients and a few reapers, but on occasions old friends from life, servants who were loyal to the house, or even enemies who were not destroyed would reappear and wander about the place.
As of now the place sat void of spirits other than that of the woman in meditation. She still had a physical form, but there were times when her spirit would roam about outside her body when she was in deep thought. The workings of the house were remarkable in that way, but none had ever understood why. Maybe it was the fountain of magic that resided in the courtyard, or the island enchantment to change weather when the owner of the estate commanded it to. It could even have been that the island was cursed long ago and those who have lived on its shores for some time could always find their way back to it in the afterlife.
"I should suspect that when the other ancients return they will be residing here once more. Then it shall not be so quiet," she told herself as she slowly opened her eyes to look into the fountain before her. She fluffed her slightly tinted wings with anticipation for life to return to the house, but knew that she must wait for the perfect time to perform the revival. "And then Hathern said he would be here with me as well....but Nickolas said something about a 'vampire sanctuary' when we last talked, so if that is what this house is to become than I shall have to be extra careful that they do not bother the peacefully living ones who live here as well, or the people in the town for that matter." She shifted her weight as she sat so her conscious lotus position was much more comfortable. She felt lighter, more free, and joyous after her long meditations, and they reflected in her form changes. Ever since that party it has been a bit easier to return to this form. I wonder if the dances or the connections with certain spirits had something to do with that.
She leaned back on her hands and gazed up at the sky with a smile. It was a bright blue today with birds flying overhead from time to time. Not a rain cloud to be seen, but a few white clouds made funny shapes in the air that Nar had to giggle about. It felt good to be carefree for once and to be at peace with her inner self.

[Kill them with Kindness] A large portal of shadowy aura appears in front of Nar with sounds of destruction as it opened. A shadowy figure with glowing gloves steps out of it and steps into the light, reveling itself to be Rah. He looks down at Nar as the portal closes and smirks "Nar and her private resort.. Finding you is always too easy.." He looks up at the sky and rubs his chin, trying to figure out why he had come in the first place "I need help with something.. Something.. Important.." [He always gets the job done]

Nar let her head drop from the sky to be parallel with the ground as her eyes landed on Rah. A small smile crossed her face and she cocked her head to one side. "Now what would a reaper like you be needing my skills for?" she cooed as she could feel the darkness begin to creep back into her wings. It looked more like blood streaks as it ran down through the feathers. She could feel the disturbance from wherever Rah had come from when the portal was opened, but now all she could sense was the energy he gave off as he stood before her.

[Kill them with Kindness] Rah glances at the floor and snaps his fingers, remembering why he needed help "Right! Heaven is under attack by a portly reaper.." He looks back at where the portal was and smirks "Well.. Maybe bigger then portly.." He shakes his head and looks back to Nar "Its out of control and is clearly oblivious to the Reaper's standards.. Normally I wouldn't give two ☺☺☺☺'s but some of my friends are caught in the middle of everything.. Though one should be.. The others a Royal.." Rah shakes his head and looks at Nar with a serious look "So can ya help me or what.." [He always gets the job done]

Nar's feathers colored a fresh red color as it looked like a ton of blood was splashed onto them. The red faded to black as she stood up, her eyes a deep red color. "I thought it was Satoshi's job to take care of the reapers who step out of line," she growled to herself as she reached into the waters and whispered something. A few trails of the water ran up her arm making a swirl path behind them as they raced up to her hair and circled around to her chest. They implanted into the charms on the collar around her throat, causing them to glow different colors.
She crossed the courtyard to a set of stairs and scaled them quickly before moving down a hallway into a side room and digging around in a small closet. From it she drew a scythe and a pair of white gloves before she returned to the stairs and jumped off to the same level where Rah was. "But if he is not going to take his responsibilities seriously then I guess that leaves me," she purred as she swung the scythe around in one hand before letting it come to rest beside her.
"And I guess I will help since there is a royal involved. I am kind of concerned with all of their well-beings as well in a way," she smirked with a lick of her lips. In her mind she did a mental check to make sure she had everything she needed for this trip. Ancients, scythe, gloves, pants, book. Should be all set...

[Kill them with Kindness] Rah grins and creates another portal from his left over aura, then takes a step in and chuckles "... and who knows? Maybe you'll enjoy cutting up the fat b*****d" He walks through the portal and leaves it open for Nar to step through
(heaven...) [He always gets the job done]

Nar laughed coldly at Rah's statement and followed him through the portal. "If it comes to that then maybe I will!" she sneered as she entered the Heavenly grounds once more.
((Nar to Heaven grounds))

((gah, third double post in a week! Good job, Nar, just keep causing problems....))
~Sorry, not my fault you have me so active~
((Ah, true, you are going everywhere and doing all sorts of things....anyways, back to the post!))
Stepping back into the courtyard of the estate Nar breathed deeply and smiled. She rolled Hathern's staff over the back of her hand and caught it in her palm before walking to the stairs and climbing up to the second floor of the estate. Heading inside the hallway she turned into the empty guest room and looked at the mess she had made with moving things from the tea house. "Guess I need to clean this up and organize it before he decides to show up," she thought aloud as she shut the door and began to work on picking up the papers that were scattered everywhere. "Now, he said something about explaining why he had all these papers. Maybe I should read them and find out what might need to be explained," she giggled as she made a pile on the nearby desk and went about picking up some more. "Or I could just stash them all away and be totally in the dark about all of them. Though I am going to read that little book he had on his desk with my name in it over and over again. Now that was interesting!"

Apearing on the grounds, Hathern cleared his throat and looked around. "Narssissuss... I am not sure if your brother has informed you or not, but Kahn is heading this way quickly... Please forgive me for any acts against you in front of him, they will mean nothing accept to keep him on my side for the time being." He spoke out, sure that the woman would here his lighter words, as she had taken his staff again and was most likely changed by it. "Leaving that staff would be a good idea as well.. or at least not holding it..."

Hearing Hathern speaking to her out in the courtyard Nar dropped what she was doing and hurried out to listen. He said something about Kahn coming here with him and she was about to say something but she let it slide. Instead she leaned a bit over the railing of the small balcony and grinned mischievously down at him as she slowed time down a bit just in case Kahn were to appear at any moment. "Do as you like, dear. If you need anything I will be up here doing a bit of spring cleaning. Or you can talk to the spirits if you just can't bear talking down to me," she giggled playfully as she let time resume. "Do you remember where everything is? It has been many years since you stepped foot on my grounds."
Kahn was trying to follow the trail Hathern left behind him as fast as he could, but the trail suddenly vanished, leaving him somewhere he did not recognize in the spirit world. Stepping out of it into the real world he found himself in a vast green field dotted with all sorts of wild flowers. In the distance sat the Lee Mansion and he turned to head off in that direction. Close enough, I guess, he thought to himself as he started off for the house in a jog.

Hathern grinned up at her. "If you haven't switched things up on me, then I shall be fine dear. And he is interested in Kashmir... to ask some questions." He gave a small grin, as he turned around to the door to wait for him. "And here he comes..." Hathern found himself whispering, as he liked the sound of his voice echoing through the house. My form is different on this land.. it must be because it is Earth.. and it magnifies the pure positive and negative energy giving me more grounds to build some sort of form.. that and maybe she has recovered my bones and they are in her little hord~ hehe

Its the magic of the island. Those who once walked upon the land may return to this place from the other side with a physical form, she purred softly in the Shaman's head with a large smirk. Turning she walked back down the hallway and into the room she was in before and closed the door. "Now where was I...." she asked the mess with a grin as she went to work with a light hum.
Kahn soon found himself at the front of the mansion. "Hathern?" he called out softly as he walked around the building looking for the side entrance to the courtyard in the center. He finally found the large archway and peered in to find Hathern grinning about something. "There you are, I got lost.....why are you grinning like that?" he asked, sounding a bit out of breath from the long jog up the hill to the mansion itself. He lowered his voice after noting how it echoed in the alcove of the house and asked quietly, "is she here?"

Hathern turned to the upcoming Kahn and gave a shrug. "It is her house... But I was smiling as this place still looks as nice as I left it so many centuries ago." He chuckled as instead of him using years now adays he found himself using centuries. "Damn.. that makes me feel so old." He grinned at the boy. "Come on, since this place hasn't change, lets go see if Kashmir is in his room."

Kahn gave a muffled chuckle and replied, "we are all old compared to humans, Hathern. But yes, lets go see if Kashmir is in, then we can go to the library and look for those books."Nar listened to the two men in the courtyard with a smirk before setting down the papers and opening the door slowly. I should go tell Kash that they are looking for him. No doubt in my mind that he is not in his bedroom, she thought to herself as she slid quietly out the door and made a portal to the hallway downstairs. She walked down it to the large double doors and upon hearing music from inside she pushed open the doors and entered. There, of course, she found two of the four ancients enjoying the loud guitar music they were playing on the stereo. One was enjoying the drum set he had brought in while the other was up on the book shelf ladder swinging around looking at books and singing. Shaking her head she shut the door and stood quietly watching.((song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9IxeVSrEDQ )) Using the ladder to push off of the wall with the books Kashmir swung out along the side of it, fully enjoying the music that was being played below as he added the vocals to it. But he stopped the ladder at different intervals as he pulled out a book here and there to toss down to the floor. He had no idea that Nar was in the room till he pushed the ladder all the way to the very end and was about to swing back the other way when he looked to the floor and saw her grinning with glee at him. He gave a mighty push of the ladder from where he was at the very top and rode it around to the wall closest to her before sliding to the bottom of it and taking a few steps to meet her at the door. He took her hands and twirled her before dropping her into a dip and pressing many kisses on her collar bone and neck. Completely ignorant of how much of the song was left he began to recite new lyrics, "I'm over it. You see I'm falling in the vast abyss. Clouded by memories of the past, At last I see....you!"Standing up out of the dip Nar shot a dark glance over at the man behind the drum set. "Did you get him drunk, Herman?"The orange haired man laughed and set the drum sticks down as he came out from behind the drums. "We might have had one drink or two. No problem with that, eh?" he giggled as he lept up onto the large table down the center of the library and casually strolled down it on his hands. "We were all in sour moods when we were returned here so I suggested getting a drink or two. Raz of course went with it and we drug Kash along, but Nickolas went back to the dragon dimension. Said he had some other business to take care of with a lady friend. So we went and had a few drinks in the kitchen then Kash wanted to come to the library. We left Raziel at his room and came in here, but as soon as we passed my room he said get the drum set, so I got my drum set and brought it in here and he got his guitar cd mixes out and we just had a good time."
