Welcome to Gaia! ::

Breathing sharply Nar sat up straight from her deep slumber. The memories of her latest escapade flowed back to her like water from a faucet and she recorded them as quickly as she could in the book she kept at her side when she slept. It was a strange trip but it was one to remember just for the experience she was about to have when she woke up. When she was done she snapped the book shut and looked around in the dark room that her coffin was located in. She had left the lid open when she had climbed in earlier because there was a point that she had woken up in a similar manner and hit her head hard on the lid of the coffin. Now that her body was awake there was a sense of need to rise once more and return to life with the rest of her kind. So she swung her legs out of the comfortable coffin and stood to stretch. How much time has passed? she thought as she walked across the dark wet room to a portal that stood waiting for her. With a swallow she moved through the portal into another room, this one in the world of realism. It was her own bedroom at the Lee Estate which she stepped into and from first sights it seemed that nothing had been touched. Upon further examination she found that a few people had indeed been in her room looking around for something or someone. She was smart to set up a guard to watch the room while she was gone and the guard now shifted its weight on its look-out post. “Balthazar what is the security report of my room?” she asked as she rubbed an eye with one hand while holding out her arm to the bird.

Blinking awake the raven walked to the end of its perch and took to its wing to land on the arm of the woman. He did a little dance of sorts before giving up and hopping to the floor to change into a man. “Not many were here except your brother and myself. Hathern did show his face at the beginning of your departure and so did Kashmir and Kahn but I shooed them off quickly so they could not disturb your work, Mistress Lee,” he smiled to the woman as he ruffled his black wings. He was quite proud of the job he had been given and how effortlessly he had guarded the slumber of the female vampire.

"Excellent. Good work, Balthazar," Nar purred as she stroked the head of the half naked man who now sat on her floor. She was at least thankful that when the bird man shifted to his human form he had pants on. She looked around at the desk and noticed that the letter she had written when she was last awake was gone. "Who took the letter that was here, Balthazar?"

The bird man perked up and looked at the spot which Nar pointed to. He smiled and scratched his chest as he thought for a few moments then stated, "that pretty owl woman did....what is her name..... Thymian I think? You know, the masked owl who wears a carrier's container around and takes messages here and there." He gave a goofy grin and thought to himself, If she were a raven I would totally get with her.

Taking a few moments to think about it Nar finally nodded. "Yes, yes I do remember who you are talking about now. Thymian. Sweet bird she is." Taking a seat in her desk chair Nar leaned back and propped her feet up on her desk. "Would you go downstairs and put a pot of tea on please? I should really like some Chai tea or Dragons Spark if we have any left."

"Yes, Mistress," Balthazar chirped in his bell-tone voice as he stood and shifted to his bird form before flying out the open window and to the grounds below. From there he shifted back to his human form and went to make some tea for Nar.

The portal opened into the courtyard and through it strolled Nickolas. He had a huge grin on his face until his spirit senses kicked in. In an instant his mood changed from cheeky to serious as he looked towards his sisters part of the house. She is back.... he thought to himself an instantly he was gone from the portal and running up the stairs to his sister's room.

Nar sighed and looked at her reflection in a special mirror. Her hair was shorter than it had been and she assumed that whatever happened in the dreams actually happened in real life. It was a strange spirit connection thing but it was fun. She fingered through it and smiled at the multiple colors. "I love it," she finally stated with a grin. Then she sensed her brother's return and her grin turned dark and evil. She knew he would sense her return and immediately come up to check on her. So she took a seat and waited patiently.

Nearly running into the hallway Nickolas pulled out a ring of keys from his pocket and began to fumble through them when he found the right one he used it to unlock his sister's door and opened it. Balthazar was gone but Nar was sitting waiting for him. She looked so different that Nick had to double take before finally picking his jaw up off the floor and saying, "Nar! Well look at you! What happened to your hair?!?"

Looking nearly as shocked Nar stood up and chuckled a few times. "Look at yours! Its gotten so long!" She chirped as she came over and threw her arms around her brother. Her smile returned and she laughed at his reaction to her hair.

Laughing too Nickolas hugged his sister back and rocked her back and forth. "Its so good to have you back, Nar. There is so much to show you!" he excitedly said as he drew back and took his sister's hand. "Come on, you have to meet Jin and Hamza. They will j-"

"Who?"

"My children! They are so beautiful, Nar," Nickolas purred as he tugged his sister out of her room and out onto the balcony overlooking the courtyard. "See? Aren't they just gorgeous? My own children. Oh how I love them so!"

Nar laughed and stood with an arm around her brother and her chin resting on his shoulder. She examined the two children on the ground from where they were and giggled softly. "Yes they are beautiful, Nickolas," she whispered as she pressed a kiss on his cheek and purred softly to her brother.

Smiling to Kira Nar called out in reply, "likewise, Kira. Congratulations on your marriage and children. They are quite a beautiful addition to the Lee family." She giggled and hummed softly as she said something inaudible to Nickolas before letting him go and making her way down the stairs. She wanted to actually meet the kids instead of just gawk at them from above. "Hello little Lee twins. Why the strong faces?"

Nickolas jumped off the top of the steps and to the ground below. He approached his sister and stood next to her before introducing her to them, "kids, this is my sister Narssissuss Lee. She is my twin, can't you tell?" He rested his chin on her shoulder and made a funny face to try and get them to laugh.

Turning to Nickolas the female vampire gave a soft giggle and showed her teeth. "They created their own language too," she stated in their own made-up language. She gave a giggle and looked back at the two children before asking still in their language, "are they both vampires?"

"Of course!" Nickolas laughed in reply as he used the Rerglic language, as the twins called it. It sounded like a mix between German and Russian with a few words being similar to Gaelic. He turned to his children and without realizing it spoke to them in Rerglic as if they would understand what he said, "so, who is ready for something to eat?"

Nick paled a bit realizing he had spoken to them in the code language. "My mistake, it happens quite often," he smiled to Kira as he went over and put an arm around her before pressing a kiss on her cheek. "Yes, we can all go eat something if everybody is hungry." He looked to his sister who seemed starved from her twenty year resting. But there was something else there that seemed to bother her. It was like she had not rested at all, but been more active in her off time than ever.

Shaking her head Nar came up with an excuse, "I would but I have work that I must attend to." She blinked a few times as she took in the small family that had been created in her absence. They were so close it seemed, but there was a bit of discomfort from within that was already sprouting. Maybe she would have to look into that problem when she found time. "It was nice meeting both of you, young Lees. All of you take care." She turned on her heels and walked back off towards her room but paused when Balthazar came out of the kitchen. "Ah yes, I forgot about tea..." she commented to herself as she approached the bird man. "I guess my work can wait a bit while I have a cup." She smiled and walked up the stairs to her room with the bird man following behind her carrying a tray with tea materials on it.

Connecting just to Hamza Nickolas purred softly, She has her way of doing things. Though she says she has been sleeping I bet she has been doing more than that. Maybe we will have to do a search and find mission after dinner to find out what exactly she has been doing. He chuckled aloud at his remark and made it seem like he was chuckling at Hamza's remarks. "Come, let us go to the kitchen and see what I can whip up," he purred as he led the way with Kira still in his arms to the kitchen area.

Stepping out of his portal into the courtyard Herman stopped short when he saw Nickolas and his family out there but heading for the kitchen. Damnit....I wonder if Raziel has anything stashed on his side of the house.... he thought with a hiss to himself before taking off to the other bottom floor part of that side of the house. He knew Raziel would not be home because the pirate was out sailing so getting in would be the easy part. It was finding the stash, if there was one, that would be the rough part.

Once in her room Nar settled down into a chair and waited for the tray to be placed before her. "Thank you, dearie. Will you notify the Lord that his angel has returned and would like to see him at some point in my quarters?" she addressed Balthazar with a smile as she took a cup and began to pour some tea.

"Yes, Mistress," Balthazar bowed before shifting and taking to his raven wings to find Kashmir. He was bound to be about somewhere on the estate or in the beyond known as the spirit world. Either way the bird would find him with little difficulty because he was a soulbound spirit to the God of Death.
