Welcome to Gaia! ::

During the night, under the glow of a full moon, a white cloaked figure was making their way through the woods. Their face was hidden in the shadow of their hood. Only visible was the long white bo, with carvings of a bird up and down it, being used as a walking stick. Through the stillnes of the night, the harmony of owls hooting and moon fairies around younder humming about. The figure came upon a stream, that seem to shine with diamonds from the stars reflections above. They knelt down, pulling out a water jug and dipped it into the stream. After filling up the jug, the figure laid it aside and cupped water into their hands and brought it up to their lips. After satisfying their thrust, the figure grabbed the water jug and put it back under their cloak. Their breathe was seen from the coolness of the night as it appeared they were looking around for something. They looked up agaisnt a ridged cliff to see a cave that hidden with trees all around. The figure began their climb up the ridge, careful not to step on any loose edges or would surely fall to their doom. After 15 mins of climbing the figure reached the cave. Ahead was nothing but pitch black. Stomping their bo on the ground of the cave and suddenly it began to glow brighty. Inside a few pine trees have seemed to grow around the walls of the cave. It seem to go on further but the figure seemed to have seen enough. Setting their bo against the cave wall, they began gathering bits of dried wood. Few mins later a small fire was flickering. They were busy gathering pine branches and making into what seemed to be some sort of bed. The figure spent a few more mins messing around with the entrance of the cave before finally laying down on the soft pile of pine, falling asleep next to the fire.

Sapphire walked slowly around a small village where she crept low and listened to the sounds around her. Sadly it was deserted in every direction. Her feet patted the as she walked. Her coat shinned in the moonlight, eyes looking off into the distance of the town. Hiding under a small cart out side of a store she sat looking out. Before she fell asleep.

Morning is an event heralded by all of nature: a rising sun, singing birds, dew on leaves, and so much more. For (E)Vangelus Seth, morning was a blighted thing, full of loud noise, smells and its accursed light. Light and its effects, however, were not a problem for him. Thanks to very well boarded windows in his chambers, a chance of interaction was slim to none. Rising, his body emitting various sickening creaks, cracks and pops as he crossed the room to his wardrobe and grabbing a robe, (E)Vangelus cracks his jaw, which moves with a muffled crunching noise. He loathed mornings, if only because they kept causing him to wake, if nothing else. Worse still, he had nothing to do, making his current 'insomnia' very irritating indeed. However, ever the pragmatist, (E)Vangelus was sure he could make something as he exited his rooms and headed deeper into the fortress of Vlad in search of something or someone to entertain him.

Surprisingly, he didn't have to travel very far. Several minutes after setting out on his quest, he encountered someone. This vampire, who's name was Dieter, was not (E)Vangelus' favorite person to talk too, but ant port in a storm, and this one was rough. "Morning," (E)Vangelus states with a smile. "What's keeping you up, it's not those blighted birds, is it? I think I should just do something about them, settle the whole thing myself." He paused, waiting for a reply, which took a while to arrive. Dieter grunted. "I envy your ability to be so carefree, I have too much on my mind at the moment..." "Oh, and what's weighing on your mind so much then? "Well," Dieter coughed. "Someone said I wasn't a very noble vampire due to what I do, and I'm wondering if that's true. "Well, that depends, I suppose. What is it that you do?" "I kill people for money." "...I see. That really isn't very noble, is it?" "The ladies seem to call it noble." "Oh, well, then carry on, I say." (E)Vangelus nods agreeably. "I plan to," Dieter replies with a sniff and walks away. "What an incredibly stupid creature," (E)Vangelus states to himself as he walks away in the other direction, shaking his head.

As she arrived back to the dwelling she and her clan lived in she was greated by one of her friend Jess "Where have you been!" "What no hug after my journey?" Sam asked as Jess wrapped her arms around her. "We started to think you abandoned us! Well the rest of them did, I knew you would come back..." Sam watched as Jess ran away, probably to tell the rest of the clan of her return. "Shes as loyal as a St. Bernard" Sam rolled her eyes and walked to her quarters.

Night, finally, descended. For (E)Vangelus Seth, it was not soon enough. As soon as the sun disappeared over the horizon, and darkness filled the world, the fortress of Lord Vlad began to come to life. Shutters opened, lights flickered as candles were lit, and vampires began their nightly prowl for blood. Above the castle, outlined by the feeble last moments of day, the flitting shapes of those vampires that could fly occasionally dot the sky. Others, bound to the earth, exited through the underground catacombs below the fortress, emerging from hidden entrances in their search for food. Lastly, the last, dull, few exited through the main fortress door. (E)Vangelus did none of these things. From his vantage point on a tower wall, he observed all of this. He was hungry but feeling lazy, and decided he would satisfy himself with whatever or whoever the others brought back, which they always did. Shifting his footing, he notes how nice the stone felt, it was smooth, cool and not at all uncomfortable, which he had not expected when he had first stepped onto it. Deciding that the best way to bide his time until food arrived was to walk some more, he turned himself towards the ground and began his decent.

On his way down, he passed several windows, but didn't look in, he wasn't in the mood to be irritating. Reaching the inner walls, he pauses about ten feet above the inner grounds and a surprisingly well kept garden. He wasn't sure who kept taking care of it, nor, at the moment, did he really care. Instead he closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the wall he was standing on and the subtle fragrances of the garden. He remained in this way for about twenty minutes before growing bored and turning to the side and walking along the inner walls, rising up to walk on the arches when columned areas appeared. Everyone and a while he would pass others, who he greeted with a simple "Evening" before continuing on. He probably would be a frightening sight, this vampire walking on walls using bare, mutated feet. However, any awe dies immediately due to (E)Vangelus' clothes. It's very hard to look scary in pajamas and an indigo robe with the end hanging off to one side.

Still, no matter, he wasn't in the mood to startle or scare the others, he had a form much better suited for that. Passing one woman, he even turned to give her a smile and a nod as he passed her. She had brownish red hair, that was new, he hadn't seen someone like her before. He stopped.

She yawned as she stood up and streached. "Hmmm... I'm hungry..." Sam walked to the weaponry storage which was a cleft in the wall "Bow and arrow..." A voice said from behind as she picked up a case "Smart choice" She whipped around to see the familiar face of Axle, a.k.a the clans trouble maker and back-talker. He didnt belive Sam should have been made leader since he had been in the clan for years before she showed up. "Go climb a tree" She retorted as she walked twords the exit Axle following closely behind. "You know..." He whispered in her ear "It's not polite to talk to me that way!" He growled then leaped on her back, taking her by suprise.
