Castles Vampiria, Fright, and Hope

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Nyx followed the Raptor, unsure of whether or not to tag along. She mainly did so now to make sure that he wasn't attacked in his current condition.

[Somebody]

He smirked as he heard something bolt off from one of the rooms. Having no doubt that it was the assassin who tried to kill him. "He will have a hard time doing it without thiss" he remarked as he spun the short sword around his claw. A cool wind blew down the hallway over him, almost beckoning. "We musst be near the entrance"

[Arke]

The assassin shrugs as he leans back against the cold stone wall, his vision blurring again. That cursed raptor! Probably gave him some sort of disease. To try and keep himself occupied, he took a quick count of his daggers, finding he had seven left of his original ten. Other than those and his sword, he had not bothered bringing any weapons. Killing an intellectual was never this hard! What made this one so different? He pressed on, coming to a balcony overlooking some sort of courtyard. "Just great..." he said aloud, as he often did when stressed.

[Dr. Strange]

After several hours of sleep, she awakens to grab her stomach in pain. "%^&* you." She cursed, laying straight and biting her lip to keep from yelling.

[knightfighter]

"Well one might be easier than the other, true this castle is not in total ruins, but it will still take some time in order for it to be rebuilt properly, but in the mean time I would not be surprised if not in this castle, but at least in one of the others, some sort of journal or the like of what happened here. We find that then the sooner, we can figure out what happened here. Though from what you have told me I can drawl up an educated guess of what happened. It would seem at least one castle had it out for one of the others, and in the process they brought forth each others demise.  Now then there is still one question that plagues my mind before I decided to take any action. What relevance does any of this really have to me? For true I might one of these heirs you speak of, but I do not see the point of waisting one's energy and gold to rebuild an old castle and find out what happened to some distant relatives of mine." Crimson Fury was getting irratated by the whole idea, for he was a man that required reason, and a bloody good one at that before he did anything.

[Dr. Strange]

While the panther writhed in pain, Syrial smiled at Crimson Fury. "Your reason is this, because the heirs will build a better kingdom with a trio of servants shared secretly. The only thing I remember well enough is that they are from three races long since declared enemies. So for now, that's all I have. And my namesake's knowledge."

[knightfighter]

"Really is that all?" Crimson Fury asked an apparently annoyed tone in his voice. "Ha! Well they certainly have asked the wrong person to do such a task like that for to be honest with you I have no interest in rebuilding some ancient relatives' kingdom! I am rather happy with my current position as fate deemed me worthy of having. For I am not one of joy and peace, the thought of one ever thinking of me doing so is the most loathsome deed I  know. For I am Crimson Fury the knight of war and destruction, the only joy I know is out in the battlefield cutting of my foe's head, with my mighty sword nothing more. Sorry to disappoint, but this whole thing is a rather big mistake, or this legend you have been holding so dear to your heart is nothing more but a mere lie!"

[Dr. Strange]

He bowed his head, disappointed. "You aren't who they thought you were. You cannot see what lies ahead like others can. Spend a month here in Nome and then decide if you can embrace the task. I beg of you, Master."

[knightfighter]

"Consider your request granted for the time, lucky for you the only reason I came out here was because I had no other pressing matters at the time. Though if I am to stay here I would require a suitable place to stay, with food and water as well. Do this for me, and I shall stay here for a month."

[Arke]

While his first attempt had failed miserably, he had more to deal with than the raptor. He jumps from the balcony into the courtyard, moving through an archway and into the woods surrounding the castle. For the most part he has stopped bleeding, though his head is still reeling. He is sure he was sick from something, either an infection or the filth the raptor no doubt wallowed in, though he presses on regardless. Eventually, he comes to another castle, this ones door standing only slightly ajar. He approaches cautiously, the faint wind masking whatever noise he made.

[Dr. Strange]

"I will see what I can find. I can assure you that I will protect you with my life, Sire."

The panther drew herself up off the bed and lurched to the door, still groaning in misery. She had half a mind to follow that coyote from earlier and figure out how he/she got there so fast.

[Arke]

((Is a cat, actually))

[Dr. Strange]

(coyote, cat, whichever. Sorry Dave.)
She decided against it, more concerned with returning to her temporary pack. "He's gone, for now. You guys go ahead, I'm going to stay back and rest. I'll catch up later." When the human reached for her, she drew her lips back, snarling softly. "Go on."

[Somebody]

"Hes gone" He thought as he turned to walked down the corridor. "Musst stay focused. With the tome many secrets can be revealed. I've worked to hard and long to abandon my quest to petty pride." The thought of finishing it gave him a smile as he limped down the Hall. A few turns later and he was outside, he took in a breath of fresh air. Night had fallen upon the forest and the air was alive with the symphony of crickets and other beasts. He put out his torch. "Back to camp" he said to the other. "There is excess food, your welcome to have ssome"

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Nyx followed along, looking up to the night sky. She felt at ease, though she was sure that it wouldn't be long before the peace was broken with that tome along with them. She came up beside Tezztor, It depends, are you alone? She really wasn't fond of company.. She was surprised that she stuck with this reptile, being the anti-social dragon she was.
