(((OOC: Yea I know it is rather confusing...That is why im going to kill off or get rid of the nonmain characters(my characters, not your so dont worry) hehe. Alright so Draken and Raven besically watched the city get destroyed and burned, this was bad for them because that was a dramatic drop in their food supply(humans) and they where stationed in that area because of a feud they had with another clan, now they have something greater to worry about(those Knights that attacked the city), if they continue on they will kill off any other city and small settlements, making The Vladmirs and the Blood Coven(clan name) move location to find new slaves and cattle, potentially changing their current plan on that partiuclar province now they seek to discover the identitiy of these attackers and eventually take them out. Right now the Blood Coven has infiltrated a M.A.R.A.U.D.E.R. infested Ayleid ruin, they needed a base of operations for their time in that area so they took over. I am currently writing about the events inside of the Ayleid ruin, Draken and Rayne went to kill the Walords, thus securing the ruin for themselves. I know there are way too many characters so im going to find a way to keep Draken and Raven in this. Since BlackRose and you are hiding in a tree outside and it was raining, I guess the mud was soft and squishy that it left tracks when Camthalion carried both of them to the tree. This was discovered when Raven sent out her friend to scout the area, her friend reported back and now Raven and Alyssa are following the tracks to get to the tree...because there is no doubt these tracks where made by a survivor(Baal, Modeus and Camthalion)...to catch the hunter..you got to start with the prey. Also, I think maybe we should go and add those mysterious knights so we can get the action started hehe, but its all up to you Lachance
. Or Blackrose..whatever you think is a good idea.)))
Raven walked silently in the rain, following the now dissapearing mudtracks due to the heavy downpour of the rain. Alyssa looked over at Raven. "He are close". Alyssa said, sniffing the air. Raven nodded. "Yes, just within reach". She growled, walking faster than before. "When you get to him, what will you do?". Asked Alyssa. Raven grinned a little bit. "We capture the suvivor and we us him as bait and we then lure out the attackers and then we do what must be done". Raven growled, looking far off to see a small bright light illuminating the area up ahead. "I have you now". Raven mumbled, running quickly with speed towards the tree. Raven jumped over a the tree, swinging from the branches like some sort of monkey. Alyssa followed behind, doing quiet acrobatics in the air, finally Raven and Alyssa got there to see two young children and another rather unique fellow taking care of them. Raven growled lightly and looked over at Alyssa smiling..it was now time to make themselves known. Raven pulled out her sword and jumped down to where they where. Her feet made a sudden spat when the mud under her boots splattered all over the place. Alyssa jumped down behind her and pulled out a two silver shortswords. "Greetings Elf..& halfings". She snarled, looking at the children with hungry eyes.
---------------------------
Draken paced around the dark halls looking for the secret passageway to the rooms. Rayne was right beside him, very close beside him. He smiled and looked around. "I think we are close, Raven said it was in the chamber room". He said silently. Rayne smiled, changing the topic. "Your sister..does she evr had any fun, you know? relax a little?". She asked. Draken scoffed and looked at her. "No, she is engulfed in her own task and busy in her own works and mission. Raven barely has any time for leisure or pleasurable company. Her whole life was fighting and destruction, she never payed any mind to that other stuff". He said, walking into the main room, he felt the presence of Verlane nearby, right behind him actually.
"What`s the point of being immortal? if you deny the simply pleasures in life?" Asked Rayne, who was staring into a small hole on the wall. She walked over there, tiptoing and sneaking. She found something.
"I really do not know...I guess it is her decision. The only pleasure she had is destroying stuff and killing others, I enjoy it also but I enjoy other things as well." Draken said, showing a large smirk on his face.
Rayne smiled at his comment, while reaching her hand inside the hole in the wall. She clenched her fist and pulled out three rat offspings from the hole, they where the size of a standard rat, no bigger than her hand. She held the three rats by the tail and swung them back and forth playfully. "I do enjoy other things. That is something we have in common, perhaps when we get back we can spend some time together. Enjoy the pleasures of life". She said sensually & seductively, flritng with Draken as always. Draken sighed. "I--cant Rayne. Juliana is still--".
"Still what!? in your life? Draken she was turned...you know the rules of the coven state you must be with only those born with vampirism..like me. She still has feelings for humans and she still managed to pass on these feelings to you and now you feel for her". Rayne argued.
Draken sighed, he heard this argument many times over, way to many times to even begin with. "I dont know what to say". Draken said, keeping his head down. He still had feelings for Rayne, he knew this and so did she. Rayne just smiled, knowing how he felt, perhaps she could find a way to remove Juliana, maybe. But now was not the time. There was still these attackers that destroyed the city, they had to be dealt with and so did the M.a.aauders. Rayne grabbed one of the rats and held it over her mouth, she opened her mouth, bearing the fierce fangs and then she dropped the rat whole in her mouth. She closed it and started to chew. "Want one?". She asked Draken. Draken shook his head slightly. "I am not hungry".
"Oh pity. Verlane, would you like some?". She asked. Verlane shook her head. "No I dont want any rats. My taste is for something else tonight. Ah yes, and Raven notified me to tell you she has a lead on a survivor. Alyssa has found tracks and they are now in persuit. She also said you can kill the Warlord or do away with him as you wish". Verlane said, scatching her red short hair. Rayne swallowed another rat and started to chew, the sudden crush and gush was heard.
"It is a wonder why Raven never came along, she always hated warlords and always liked to kill the leaders". Rayne said.
"It IS a wonder..she is a leader, after all my father had put her in the council". He said, with a bit of frustration detected in his voice.
Rayne walked up to him again and held her arms around his shoulder, a friendly gesture. "You are a council member arent you?". Asked Rayne.
"Yes, but my sister gets more priviliges than me, my command comes second when she is present, she always gets the first hand priviliges. I suppose my father favors her because of her accomplishments years ago with that attack on Summerset Isle and Hammerfell. My father said she was born lucky..he said I was lucky to be born. I dont need luck though, I had to struggle to stay alive and keep my place and thats made me strong..its made me who I am." Draken said to her.
Rayne pondered for a moment, this was VERY complicated. Ther father, the leader of the coven never did show much gratidude for Draken..and sometimes he even showed his merciless and harshness when he impriosened Raven in a protected dungeon for three decades without ANY food or blood, pinning her own hunger against her. That only happened because she simply spoke against her father and disrespected him. "Which is why you and her rarely have anytime for pleasure and fun. What do you think Verlane?" Rayne asked her, flipping the frightened rat in her hand. Verlane was mostly a quiet one, she never usually spoke when spoken to or ordered to speak to. She was magnificent in the art of spells, mainly destruction and illusion. "I think you Draken, and Raven need to do what is right. There is time for dormancy and torpidity and a time for war and fighting, things that has to be done. I also think, you in particular Rayne, have to stop fooling around all the time and take things a little more serious. You and Draken would make the worst couple in history of Nirn". Verlane teased around.
Rayne rolled her eyes at her and tossed a small rock at her. Then she gently pushed Draken`s head a little, playfully. Rayne stared at Draken for awhile and started to speak. "I need a break..we have been fighting for over fifty years..and no time to have any true fun..I suppose this is the price we get for being immortal, I know this wonderful place I discovered years ago when I where in the outer rim sieges, yearly in the midnight, on a special day there is a wonderful masquerade ball, endless supply of cattle and drinks, only civilized vampires know of this, only our kind are invited..turnbloods or those who have not inherited Molag Baal`s gift and those who are not deemed worthy by our blood Matron, lady Lamae Beolf*g. It will be best time you can ever have in your life, other than being with me". She teased. Draken smiled and continued walking. Rayne got close to him and kissed him on the cheek. Verlane stood there, just watching the two *kids* mingle and flirt.
---
They reached the west chamber, tables flipped over, broken chairs and desks lay about and the large bookshelf stood there, old and dusty but not damaged. "Where is so easy, it this could not be more obvious". Rayne said. Everything else was broken but the shelf, showing that this was indeed a passageway. Too much ale and beer made these M.*arauders nonbrighter than they are. Rayne slowly touched the books, feeling them and knocking on each one. Then finnaly she grabbed the large redbook, behind it was a small lever that had to be pulled. Rayne pulled it back. The bookshelf cracked and stumbled, and opened up in the middle, sliding to the side, revealing a passageway in the middle. Rayne laughed and rushed in, sneaking in the corners. Draken followed her and Verlane followed closely behind. The loud voices where heard and the need to sneak was no use. Rayne grabbed her black crossbow from her back and held it in her hand, pulling back the arrow and ready to fire. The M*ar.auders where all in the main room, some of them where drinking and making plans for their next raid and plunder. Verlane whispered to the group. "I see two Warlords..im going to distract the lesser guards, I see six of them in the area, two bowmen, one battlemage and three regular warriors, you two take on the warlords". Verlane said, vanishing into thin air as she ran over and jumped off the balcony right on top of the table. The m*a.rauders started to look around frightened when the bottles of beer cracked and prints where made on the table when Verlane ran through the food and drink. "This place is cursed..I told you I saw a ghost yesterday! I told you it wasn`t the ale!". Shouted the bowmen. The Warlords stood in the other room, planning the next rain, marking the settlements on the map and the nearby fort so they can relocate. Rayne jumped on the light chandelier, flipping around to get closer to their target, the ground was misty and foggy, Draken followed behind, like ninjas, hidden in the shadows.
"What in bloody azura is that noise?". Shouted the male Warlord, complaining about the sudden disturbance the group was making.
They where about to leave the room until Rayne jumped to the other balcony. Draken jumped over behind her, still hidden but not invisible. "I`ll take the one with the deadric claymore". Rayne said, pointing at the female woman with heavy Daedric armor. Draken looked at the male warlord. "That only leaves him". He whispered.
They prepared themselves for the attack. Draken winked at Rayne and smiled. With a now serious look on her face, she just nodded positively and aimed at the female Altmer Warlord with her crossbow. She only had six black arrows and her steel sword.
Draken had his ancient katana. Draken hung from the celing chandelier and then jumped down right infront of the Imperial male Warlord, he pulled out his katana and frowned at the Warlord, bearing his fangs at him, trying to frighten the Warlord. The Warlord payed no mind to him and pulled out his deadric long blade. "Want some blood suckhead? drink your own!". He said charging at him. Draken ran to the Warlord, his body was calm and collected, not frightened and good for a succeful hit. Draken charged and leaped in the air, kicking the Warlord in the chest once with his left foot and then once with his right. The Warlord stumbled backwards a little but held his ground.
The altmer Warlord chased after Draken with her Deadric weapon held in both of her hands. Her shield in her back. Rayne aimed the crossbow and fired two arrows, nailing the Alter in the back..but sadly the shield blended with the armor, so Rayne had no clue that shot would be a complete fail. Rayne growled frustratingly and pulled two more arrows back, ready to fire them. The Altmer was now aware of her presence, she dropped the claymore and brought her shield infront of her. Rayne jumped down from the balcony and stood a few feet away from the Altmer female Warlord. The sounds of battle was heard in the other room..Verlane was now locked in battle with six *m*a.rauders.
---
Verlane shot a volley of fireballs and some shock spells, flipping in the air like a crazed skooma addict, she killed two marauders by blasting them with fire and shocking them to death. Verlane tackled another bowman and then used a touch spell and sent out electricity through his head. Another bowman ran after her and shot three arrrowd, one by one. They all hit Verlane in the back. She shouted in pain and pulled out her enchanted dagger. Verlane threw it at the battlemage, it hit her straight in the upper part of his arm. It slowed him down but it was not enough, the four where getting closer and she knew her time there was over. Verlane was not much of a fighter. She was aware of this and now so where they.
--------------
Draken swung his sword horizontaly and then performed an overhand arc, bring it down lateraly trying to gut the Warlord. The Warlord counter attacked and thrusted his blade forward, attempting a standard powermove of impalement. Draken flipped in the air and dropped down to the Warlord`s left side, he tried to cut him on the side until the Warlord turned his body and shoved Draken back with the butt of his sword.
----------
Rayne hissed, shooting another pair of arrows at the female Warlord. The Altmer blocked both of them quickly with her deadric shield. Rayne reached for two more arrows, she had an idea. Rayne pointed the crossbow at the pillar behind the Altmer, she aimed down, right behind the Altmer`s leg. "Smile!". Rayne shouted sarcastically. Rayne shot the arrows at the pillar with rapid speed, the arrows bounced off the pillar and hit the marauder right below the knee, behind her leg. The Almter fell to her knee on the ground, dropping her shield. "Cur!". blarted out the Altmer. Rayne decided to put away her crossbow and finish off the Warlord with her steel sword. She jumped in the air swing her sword around and bringing it down. The Warlord rolled to the side and grabbed the daedric claymore, and swung it, cutting Rayne`s leg. Rayne grabbed her bleeding leg and shouted angrily. "Stings doesn`t it?" spat the Altmer. Rayne smiled and had on a sarcastic look. "Is that the best you can offer? I rather bask in the sun than to fight you". Rayne said.
She held the steel sword in her hand and threw it, hitting the Altmer right in the mid section of her chest. The female Warlord tried to say something but could not, the pain was keeping her from saying something. Rayne picked up the deadric claymore, the redish fiery markings where written all over the sword. Rayne aimed the sword forward and thrusted it forward, right above the steelsword, stabbing the Altmer again. This time, Rayne pushed the sword forward even more. She let out a childish giggle, looking at the pained face of the Altmer. "Stings doesn`t it?" She retorted and pulled her steel sword out, leaving the room to help Verlane..Even if the love of her life was endagered, she knew he had it handled, besides Verlane could not last long in a fight.
----------------
Draken clashed his katana with the longsword of the Warlord, sparks cluttered the ground when the sudden clash was made. The Warlord headbutted Draken back. His nose was now bleeding and so was his mouth, that helmet was hard and cold. Draken manuvered to the left, he found an opening in the M*~arauders defense, he took it but unkowingly it was a trick to make him think so. The Warlord raised his knee and kicked Draken in the gut. Draken grunted and held his stomach with one hand, and blocked the attack attempted on his back with the other. By quickly turning his body around, he could potentially make a surprise attack, he held his katana sideways and pushed the katana right in the Warlord`s side, hitting his vital organs and body parts. The Warlord growled and tried to cut Draken down, but Draken moved his head away and then thrusted the sword again in his side, then sliding it up to his shoulder. The Warlord died in his own pool of blood. Draken rushed out to see Rayne in combat, side by side with Verlane.
-----------------
"Having fun?" Rayne asked Verlane. Verlane shook her head "No". Rayne smiled and swung her body around, making clanking sounds as she touched the tip of the **maraud.ers weapons`s with hers. "Hahaha!" Rayne laughed jokingly, she was having a bit of fun. Draken jumped in the battle, doing his handspring and holding his sword straight, right infront of his face, pointing at his selected target. Verlane ran after the battlemage, foolishly thinking it was he was a coward. The battlemage turned around, revealing a scroll, she read it and cast a powerful fire spell, the fire flew towards Verlane. Her eyes widened as her life was about to end. Verlane was burning in flames and started to shout for help. The battlemage got her silver axe and swung it towards Verlane`s head, severing it. Draken and Rayne was horrified when they just glimpsed Verlane loosing her head and turning to dust, her skeletal form burned up and her hair disintrigrated as she turned to ash and her remains fell over the floor. The battlemage now knew what she was dealing with.
Rayne went into a sudden craze, angry, her hatred now blossomed to a higher extent. She gave out a shout of anger and pushed her enemies out of the way. Shoving them aside as if they where nothing, The battlemage finally got frightened at the approaching young vampire female. The battlemage was frightened, more than ever before. Rayne cast the Reign of Terror, a vampiric power that gave any enemiy a sudden fear. The battlemage now really ran for his life. Rayne sped up, her vampiric speed outmatched the others. Rayne shoved the battlemage to the the side and cut him along the waist, severing his upper half of the body from his lower.
Draken was surrounded, he held his Katana in a defensive position. He glanced at Rayne, seeing if she had a plan. Rayne looked at him and then up the celing, the shandalier that had the ayleid blue flames was rusty and old, one quick push would surely bring it down. The M*.arauders began to attack and Draken walked backwards, blocking the incoming hits. Rayne climbed up to the balcony and aimed her crossbow at her the suspended metal. Having only two arrows left, she was going to make them count. Rayne aimed the black arrows at the metal chain holding the chandelier up. She shot it, the arrows flew and made their mark, the chandelier swung side by side slowly.
Draken saw her strategy, he ran past the m*a.rauders, slowly walking backwards, past the chandelier, he could see the faint shadow of it on the ground. Offcourse they where too busy trying to kill him, they did not mind their surroundings. Draken walked backwards and let the M*a.rauders come to him. Rayne saw them coming closer to the area it was going to fall. Rayne looked angry and frowne at the *ma.rauders. "I SHALL BRING YOUR PRIDE AND ARROGANCE CRASHING DOWN UPON YOU!". She shouted at them. They looked over at her startled, the shandalier fell from the highs above and came crashing down upon their bodies. Draken jumped out of the way, avoiding his own body being crushed.
Rayne went down to where he was, her face was sad and full of grief. Verlane was one of her closest cousin... it was a shame she had to die. Rayne hugged Draken and embraced him. Draken returned a kiss on her cheek. "It will be alright..we have killed them all". He re-assured her. Rayne nodded to him, not crying but still upset. Both of them left the area and went back to the original part of the ruin.
