The Hearts of Men (1x1 with Eternal Chronicler)

[Kares-Eternal Chronicler]

Kimberly Sarani

My mother was a Vampire, my father was an Angel.
I am definitely not what you'd call "normal".

Kimberly laughed, but as much mirth as she had tried to show it only betrayed her embarassment and slight fear. "Believe me Miguel... I know a little too well how it is with Felix. I'm lucky to have gotten out of here when I did, never thought I'd be back, but..." she shrugged, "You can't very well direct a makeshift raft either, can you?"
She looked about briefly, and sighed. "I guess I should be on my way. I didn't mean to interrupt anything."

Vampiric? Sure. Unholy? In a way.
But unholy doesn't define a person.

"Oh pray don't go!" Adeska blurted out, looking over at Kim. "Its been awfully quiet, and you seem to be interesting to talk to."

"And I'm not?" Miguel teased and Adeska rolled her eyes. :Alright, I get your point." The man said before looking back to Kim. "If you have other place to be, then I invite you to stay, but if you have things to do..." He shrugged and took a sip of his rum. "If you are leaving then we should probably too. The bar is getting rowdier than usual."

Now, I have fallen in love with the daughter of my savior

Kimberly raised an eyebrow, quite suddenly convinced to stay but not for any reason one might have expected. "The funny thing about rowdy is that it's always a mess." she leaned back, gaining back her comfort. "The funny thing about a mess is that it's fun to get through, so I guess even if not for the sake of conversation I'll stay, but all the same not much I have to discuss, unless you're into more landside stories."

Vampiric? Sure. Unholy? In a way.

Miguel smiled at Kim, and Adeska looped her arm with Mr. Porter's while looking at Kim. "I for one would like to hear some stories. Haven't been on land much for times I'd like to remember." Adeska said.

Kimberly sighed, and made herself a little more comfortable, "Alright then, where to begin..."
"Back a few hundred years this castle sprang up in the middle of Tethys, already home to legions upon legions of undead and other rather nasty creatures. It wasn't long after when that same castle, Necross, declared war on the gates of Heaven. Three years later, one of their own betrayed them and went renegade, slaughtered the entire army but wound up captured. Two hundred years of torture later, he left. His brother backstabbed Necross' lord and took over, lo and behold the renegade, Kalrael Lekira, came back. Drove off his brother Khaseri after a good long time, but the matriarchs had... other plans, so to say. The six of them left on their own accord, one of which so happened to have her eyes set on finishing the Blood Wars. That... would be my mother, Lisa Shekai. So, born under the most stupid circumstance and immediately rejected by my own mother I was left on Necross' doorstep. My father found me, raised me on the foundations of Angelic society. I couldn't stay forever, of course but eventually once word had reached them of Kal's lordship over Necross they went to investigate. They found out he's not so bad as they thought, they left me with him, so..." she paused, "Well it's a little odd, seeing everything from one point under the care of someone who sees both sides of a matter. I don't even know all that well what it's like to be well, what I am, just because of how fast it all happened."

Vampiric? Sure. Unholy? In a way.
But unholy doesn't define a person.

Miguel listened, the picture of perfect observance and patience in his eyes, and then thought over what Kimberly had said. "You certainly are an interesting case then," He said with a smile. "I'm not one for labeling a vampire as unholy or not, sailing under one and all, but you are certainly a peculiar mix." He laughed and took another sip of his rum. Adeska was scanning the room quietly, a form of anxiety quietly playing on her face. Her gaze fell upon a shadowy figure in the corner and she froze, seeing the gleam of scarlet, the ivory shimmer...

"Miguel...I need to go." Adeska said quietly, tugging on him as the figure in the corner sat up with interest, his figure distorted slightly but still recognizable. Fear made Adeska's heart race and she soon fled herself from the tavern, leaving Miguel with a paled face as he spotted what the girl had been afraid of.


"We should be leaving," Miguel murmured. "I'll explain in a moment."

Now, I have fallen in love with the daughter of my savior

"Okay?" Kimberly tried to say more than ask, but all the same it came out more inquisitive. She got up and promptly left behind Adeska and Miguel, eyes darting behind her every now and then with a paranoid curiosity.
"What's going on...?" She asked after several minutes.

Vampiric? Sure. Unholy? In a way.
But unholy doesn't define a person.

Adeska stood in the shade of the palm tree they stopped in front of and trembled, restraining either anger, fear, or depression...or a mix of all three. Miguel took her into his arms and sighed.

"Isobel, err Henry. A mixture of both. Henry Neirington that is. Company Captain and Lord. Recently possessed by a demon by the name of Isobel." Miguel said, smoothing down Adeska's hair. "One that had possessed Adeska for a long, long time." He added after a moment softly. Eventually Adeska calmed and merely clung to Miguel's arm, great age and fatigue written on her face.

Kimberly nodded, reaching with one hand over to the awkwardly-placed belt attached to both arms and nibbling somewhat nervously on it before dropping it again to fall behind her. "I've heard of Isobel once before. Jack mentioned an appearance in the desert. Nasty business, sounds like. So..." she paused for a moment, figuring out the name that had been given. "Who is this 'Henry' person then?"

Vampiric? Sure. Unholy? In a way.

"Lord Henry Neirington, son of Lord Nessin, Lord of the Company, brutal enemy of the Courts...Oh heavens above I need to tell Jack!" Miguel said and Adeska made a small noise in her throat as he let go of her, only to have it silenced by Miguel's lips on hers, his hand disappearing into her hair for a moment. Then he was sprinting towards the dock, Adeska looking after him with a sigh.

"He's my half-brother." Adeska said referring to Henry, turning to Kimberly. "I don't remember him much, he was born just days before I was taken by Isobel. From what Jack says though he is just as rotten as his father was." Adeska said bitterly, looking to the ground.

Kimberly bit her lip and looked back towards the direction they had come from, playing slightly with the belt across her back before again dropping it. After several moments of thought she turned to Adeska with a wary eye behind her. "Come on, we should get back on board." she said after a moment. "No sense in keeping the others worried."
With that she went back up to the Duchess, her face easily betraying her multiple layers of surprise and overall thought. Maybe this could prove as mutually beneficial as it had seemed interesting so far...

Adeska followed Kimberly and took a seat on the railing with a sigh, looking as Miguel knocked on the door to the Captain's cabin, impatiently waiting for Jack. She drew a knee to her chest and propped her chin on it, looking increasingly troubled.

Jack at last opened the door and listened to Miguel impatiently, upon which he sighed and rubbed his face with a hand. "Very well." He said. "I'll think of what to do, best to alert the council tonight." He said to himself before sitting at his desk again, leaving the door open.

This is no more.
I am my own master.

Kimberly shuddered slightly, but shook her head free of her fears and hopped up with an inhuman balance to the rail, resting seated on her heels and one leg farther out to the side, but appearing all the same not to have any trouble at all maintaining her balance. "Adeska, relax will you? I've got a bit in my history I'll have to face down too, but think of it this way. You've got Miguel, you've got Jack. Hell, if I'm guessing this right you've got yourself traveling with one of the Sisterhood of Slaughter." she used the name as if it was already a legendary concept, "You're in good hands, near as I can tell and plus." She laid a reassuring hand on the girl's shoulder with a faint smile. "You've got me, so long as I'm there to be had. You'll be alright, okay?"

Vampiric? Sure. Unholy? In a way.

Adeska looked off into the distance. "She still wants me. She won't stop. She'll kill them both if she has to." She said in a shaky whisper, her eyes fixated on memory. "I'll watch myself do it too, I know I will." The girl trembled slightly and buried her face in her hands.

This is no more.
I am my own master.

"Adeska, hear me out." Kimberly hopped down to a crouch in front of the girl, looking up to her with as friendly eyes as ever. "My mother was... is, a heartless and soulless fiend, in just about every manner. My father was biased and judgemental towards even so much as his own daughter, whether it was by his choice I was born or not. It seems like it's a little the other way for you, but at least your mother's supportive, I should hope?"
She stood and put an arm to the girl's and smiled innocently. "I don't mean to make comparisons, but don't you believe in a happier alternative than the worst possible?"

Vampiric? Sure. Unholy? In a way.
