blood falls

[Moonraiser]

*relieved to see they didn't see me I sneak out of the tavern and decides to start scouting out the village and perhaps make some of the starving poor not so poor or hungry anymore*

[Shenzii]

Her eyes dimmed. Rowan walked over to Cyrus. "I apologize for that... I only feed once a month on villagers. I prefer to choose the strong, healthy ones." She walked past him. "We should go back to the Palace." She walked ahead of him, towards the gates. "You can stay in my room tonight."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Cyrus actually blushed when he heard her say that. "M-Me in y-your r-room....t-t-together?!"

[Shenzii]

She smiled. "Of course..." She turned and looked at him. "You have a problem with that?" She asked, turning back around and walking. Her tail swayed back and forth.

[Moonraiser]

"we cant thank you enough sir",says the peasant."You dont have to, its my job", I reply. After talking with the peasant I run off still amazed of how many poor people there are around here. Out of my whole stache I only have about 200 gold left. Thinking of a good place to rob I decide to head back to the castle. I hope I can perhaps make it deeper inside and actually get some really good loot.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

He followed her, somewhat entranced by her tail and also by the thought of sleeping with her, although hes probably getting ahead of himself, no way they'd be sleeping that close to eachother....right?

[Shenzii]

Rowan lead the way back to her room. "Come on... My bed is big enough." She opened the tall doors and shut them behind her after Cyrus entered. She went into her large bathroom and changed and washed up. She walked back out and smiled. Rowan ambled over and lay on the bed, the red silk canopy dimming the light. The curtains surrounding the bed stayed tied back.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Cyrus sighed and tried to take a shower before going to sleep, but the instant he got into the bathroom he felt cold again, promping him to almost bolt out of the bathroom and onto the bed. He go under the sheets and starting warming up instantly. His breathing was rapid when he got in bed, but started to slow down to a relaxed breath until he saw Rowan, then it was barely audible. "This is starting to get annoying..."

[Moonraiser]

As I approached the castle I tried to remember twhat I knew of the castle. The guard left a gap in defenses on west wall once every hour. I also knew that by taking west door I would be brought to a long corridor that leads to another hallway that I didnt know what lead too. I also knew that the first left of the corridor lead to the entrance hall but there were guards stationed above the entrance hall if you went up the stairs. So my plan was this, I was going to go straight and take my chances there and hopefully get to the royal quarters where they kept the really good loot. Of course my first objective was to make it inside which was easy as last time. Once inside I sniffed around for guards and actually found that there werent any in the corridor so I headed down it as silent as possible until I cam upon the next hallway. In the hallway I could hear a couple guards in a room adjacent to me so I waited for them to turn their backs to me and I sped off to the next door,once there I was now in uncharted territory. As I entered the new area I studied my surrounding and found a door to my left which I decided to try first. As I was about to open it I heard patrols coming so I hid in a corner that was hid by the door when they opened it and continued on their way. Before the door closed I slid through and continued my mission. As I slid through the door I wasbrought to another hall with a stairwell at the end, perfect that must lead to the upper floors. going as silent as possible I creeped to the stairwell and took it to the top floor. At the top floor there were guards everywhere which surely meant that the royal quarters were near. Sneaking past the guards I saw a very fancy door that was being watched by a guard. Lucky for me the guard was asleep so I went through the door unnoticed. As the door shut I found myself inside a bedroom that was gorgeous with all these gold candlesticks and a great facncy bed and a nice wardrobe. Next to the bed I saw a chest and suddenly I knew that it had to be full of good items of value.Bingo. As I crept slowly to the chest I noticed that two figures lay sleeping in the bed so I tried to be as quiet as possible. I crept to the chest and found it to be locked which was not unexpected. I produced a lockpick and eventually lockpicked the chest. As I opened it I found my self staring at a jackpot of gold and a few pieces of fine jewelry. It brought a tear to my eye and I grabbed as much coin and jewelry as I could and filled my pockets with them. As I got up to leave I looked at the bed in curiosity and with horror I recongized the lady and her bodyguard sleeping. Then it dawned on me, it was undeniable this lady had to be this princess Rowan. I froze and decided to make my exit as fast as possible.

[Shenzii]

Rowan laughed lightly. "I'm guessing you've made your Imprint..." She shut her eyes and rolled to face him. "It'll die down soon," she yawned, "Don't worry." And with that, she was asleep.

[Moonraiser]

hearing the words of Rowan I quickly make my escape and wonder why she didnt get up and kill me.

[KittKat chunky~]

*setting his feet against the current of the opaque river Kistrev pulled a bell from the bandoleer across his chest, ringing it in a circle the sound of "Kibeth, the walker" rang through death.... ripples spread across the flowing river even as the weaker spirits where dragged towards life, however Kibeth was tricksome and rang of it own accord, causing Kistrev to stumble further into death as the spirits went further into life towards the dead bodies of the villagers he had prepared for them to occupy... concentrating Kistrev stood his ground, baring his teeth against the urge to walk towards the first gate, further into death, and onwards... once the last spirit had passed into life he held the bell still and turned back to life, where the bodies would be crawling back to theyre rotten feet, ready to feast on life again...*

((yay! one of my favourite book series too, the names of the bells may be wrong, cos my book is in england at the mo, so it doesnt really matter..... background, you can reach death where there is a dark river that carries spirits along to the final gate, where they die, there are deeper layers of death going through each gate, 9 in all.... a necromancer is someone who fights this river, to stay in life, and uses bells to enslave other spirits.... death can be reached from anywhere, especially where other have died.... sorry for the longness of that...  ))

[Chrono Blackwyng]

He drapped his wings over her as he went to sleep, making sure they both stay as warm as possible, but forgetting that it made it seem...rather intimate.

[Shenzii]

Rowan moved closer to him. Her body pressed against his. She smiled and dozed back to sleep. An hour later she woke up. Her body sprinkled in a light sweat. She got out of bed and went to the balcony and stood out on it. The sun had not yet peaked over the mountains. She looked at her clock and saw it was 3:12 a.m. Rowan smiled as the cool air blew on her face. She sat on the railing and looked out on the village. Something had caught her eye in the forest. "That's odd..." She changed into something more suited for the cold forest and dropped from her terrace. She ran towards what seemed to be a cat. "Who are you?" She asked appearing from the darkness, her eyes glowing intensely. Rowan walked towards him and stood a few feet away.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Cyrus once again felt the now dubbed "ice of seperation" fall on him during his sleep, shocking him into complete consiousness and he tried to locate Rowan, catching her out in the forest of all places. He grunted while recalling his broadsword and leaping down from her terrace, bolting and almost ramming into Rowan. Not that I should be one to complain, but all of these excursions are really keeping me awake more than I like
