The full moon shone brightly in the sky, whenever it poked through the layer of clouds that covered the sky, only letting glimpses of the moon shine though. A small breeze blew across the land, sending the clouds rolling over each other in the sky, and hiding the pale moon once again and gently shaking the tall menacing trees that stood in silent masses near the outskirts of an old town that was on the edge of the wilderness.

"The forest was haunted," people would say and glance fearfully at the dark forest. Especially when the moon was full, because on those nights the forest seemed more lively, and eerie things would happen. But one of the things that frightened the people the most, were the howls of the wolves on these nights. The wolves were feared, and whenever a warrior would come back after hunting a wolf, he was either praised for killing one, or eyed curiously, wondering if he truly did go to hunt wolves, or just to speak to them as a spy. The wolves were tricky and cunning, and many people had been killed by the creatures. This dread of the mighty wolves was only magnified on a full moon because than the wolves howled louder, and became even more brave, coming closer and sometimes venturing into the city to sneak a snack of either a sheep, or a child. The forest only made the dread worse because weird things happened to whomever ventured far into it's large and dense canopy. But even with all the fear there were still brave people in the town, and it was ever expanding to meet the needs of people who came to either settle or trade in the land.

It was in this town that a tall figure stalked from building to building. Hiding beneath a dark green hood and cloak that had a few golden symbols sown into the fabric, and hid all of his features, except for his bright burning eyes. One of them was blue, and he other one was brown, and they seemed to glow in the darkness. The man walked quickly, as if something was following him, and he darted into a tavern called The Dark Forest and looked around at the occupants already in the room. He quickly located a small empty table, and took a seat, keeping his green hood on, and shifting his focus at various people around the tavern. When someone came to offer him a drink, he asked for some simple water, and glared at the woman until she left, a little creeped out by the odd man in the cloak with the funny eyes.

The man in the gilded armor looked at the hooded man with suspicion, but also curiosity. He had never seen any one quite like him, and didn't know how to feel about him. He brushed his long, golden hair from his face, a handsome face with sharp features and blue eyes. He had long been journeying the lands, searching for... something, but he did not know what. He had once been a Captain of the Paladin Corps, but that was long ago. Now his full goatee showed that he had journeyed long and far.
The man got up from his table, his longsword clanking at his side. He longed for lighter armor, but had not the money for it, refusing to sell his ceremonial armor. He approached the hooded man carefully, and made clear that his intentions were friendly by smiling.
"Hello there, stranger. May I join you?"

The man at the table looked up, so that the light in the room caught in his eyes, and made them look cold and hard, and menacing. His hood still hiding the rest of his face, except for his hairy chin and black nose. His arm slowly reached up and into his cloak and searched for something by his chest, and than whatever it was made a loud click and he pulled his hand out again. and suddenly he began quivering, and let out a low groan, and than put his hands on the table and after a moment or two he stopped shaking.

"why sit by me? Why not them over there," he said in a deep voice and pointed a gloved hand at a bunch of other men sitting around a table playing some card game at the opposite end of the room. "But if you insist, I guess you can sit where ever you please."

and with that he reached up and slowly took off his hood, revealing long matted brown hair that stuck up all over the place and bushy eyebrows, and eyes that looked like they had been wide and alert for more than a week with no sleep. His features were sharp, and there were a few cuts and scars across his face, some more recent than others. His lips a tight frown, and his eyes clear and hard, and a few weeks worth of unshaved stubble growing on his chin. and his skin was a little paler than most peoples (nose too) Than the waitress came and dropped off his drink and he grabbed it and started gulping it down, and before the waitress could leave he was done, and was holding it out to her.

"Bring me more, and also bring the biggest cooked meat you have."

The waitress looked a little scared and confused at him, and hurried away, not daring to question him.

Vivian stepped into the The Dark Forest , aware that she was being watched the second her figure crossed the threshhold. Her long dark wavy locks only made her porcelain skin brighter in comparison. Vivian's vivid olive green optics scanned the room briefly as she gracefully made her way to an empty table near two gentlemen.

The mistress approached her quickly, she looked flustered and overwhelmed as she asked for her order. Vivian was not there to drink or eat, only to observe and hunt so she ordered a water to sip until her time came to draw in her victim. She watched as the humans sat and drank merrily, discussing their troubles amongst themselves, unaware of the danger in the very room. She smirked at this, running her finger along the patterns on the wooden table.

Vivian looked up from the table, taking the water from the waitress who had returned with her water. She sipped it idly as she looked around. Her attention kept returning to the table next to her, there was something odd about the brown haired man. And the other man, whom she could see his face, he looked so out of place here in all his armor. She narrowed her eyes at him, knowing he was not from the area. She wasn't sure about the shaggy haired man. She only came into town when she needed to, mostly spending her time at the Manor or in the forest with her brother Lerick and other Blood siblings.

The man looked surprised for a little, then smiled and sat, his armor clanking as he did. He really needed new armor.
""Sorry if I offended you. I'm just a little curious. I am new here and know no one, so i thought I should talk to the most interesting person in the bar, and that seems to be..." He paused as the woman sat down next to them, looking at her curiously as well. "her..." he whispered to himself, then turned back to the hooded man.
"My name is Israfel Roterai, Captain of the Paladin Corps., or at least I was." He put out his hand, offering to shake his hand.

Vivian slightly raised one of her dark brows as the man started to gawk at her. She laughed at his moment of distraction, shaking her head and sipping her water again. Her eyes went wide when she saw Lerick enter the Tavern and sit across from her. He was never the type to come into a public building, he didn't have as much self control. She tilted her head curiously as he just sat there without saying anything.
"What's troubling you brother?" She asked, knowing something was up. But Lerick shook his head, looking around, almost like he was looking for something or someone.

The shaggy haired man shook his head his hair swaying with the motion, his eyes growing a little softer, as if they were coming into focus after not being able to see. He still didn't smile or look happy, but at least he was starting to look a little relaxed. His green and gold robe still hiding his body, but even than, those around him looked rather small compared to his hulking frame.

"Sorry, I'm just....not used to....... people." His voice was husky, as if still parched with thirst. He reached out and shook Israfel's hand. " former Captain of the Paladin Corps, interesting. Do you always go about sharing your last job to everyone you meet?"

Than the waiter came again and set down a giant mug of water, his eyes widened greedily and he snatched it up and drank deeply, draining the mug within seconds. And his eyes shone brightly with greed and happiness at the big slab of venison that was on a plate in front of him. He whipped out a curved knife with lightning speed and ignored the knife and fork next to the plate, and greedily cut an gulped down a huge piece of meat. A small twitch in his mouth, showed a tiny barely visible grin. But as soon as the Lady came into the room and sat next to him, he sniffed and all the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and his eyes narrowed and he looked at the Girl with hatred in his eyes, and let out a low growl. His multicolored eyes blazing.

Israfel smiled as he shook the mans hand, almost laughing at his question.
"Most of the time, yes. I like people to know who they're dealing with. It's better to be open and lose suspicion than to keep quiet and have people question you." He smiled wider, but realized that this man might not be the one for jokes when he snatched the mug from the waitress, and even more so when he began to growl at the woman, who was now seated with a man. Israfel just smiled at them, as if to say "Sorry about him, he's really not that bad a guy." He then turned back to his 'companion', his smile dissapearing.
"You seem to be very thirsty. Are you sick?"
