"Next we have Bryce from house Bellarron APPROACH THE DAIS" a voice thundered from under one of the hoods. Doing as he was told bryce would slowly approach removing his cloak. -Dammit why do i have to be the last one this is not good im either gonna be a laughingstock or...-

Bryces thought was cut off by a tunderous voice "FOCUS imagine your qualities taking shape into another being and let the dais do the rest"

Bryce would heed the advice given. "Strong in mind and body, loyal, different, Potential for growth, and playful." these were the thoughts that ran the course of his mind as he touched the dais and after focusing as hard as he could, he would hear what seemed to be a roaring bark almost. and out shot a frigid blue bubble with a behemoth of an off color Ice blue and violet spikes.

"Who are you, are you a wizard awesome my name is Meggido, wizardLife partners" he would say utterly excited "why is everyone staring?" he would ask

"It doesnt matter how i get through i need answers and im not getting them by keeping put here" Zayden became resolute in his thought and was determined to make his way to Isaura and his father. Zayden grabbed his blade and opened the door only to see the hall crawling with his servants all wearing a sadistic look on Their face. and one approached with a letter that he was to read before crossing the threshold. the letter read:

Its not a secret lord Makeru what your attempting to do if you are truly ready to brave what lies in the den, then head there at once. Howeer my lord you must know that once you step out of this door with the intention of crossing into that den WE MUST ATTEMPT TO STOP YOU AT ALL COSTwith all the luck allowed
Woltar Dornayze The Thread of Fate

Zayden Shook a bit, had regained focused and his resolve As he stepped into the hall, only to be greeted by with a broken nose from a fist that was moving at a blinding speed. "Shit" Zayden exclaimed at the sudden rush of pain that assaulted his face. He focused as he barrelled into the hallway focusing on his surroundings, Effectively evading and countering the first 40 or so hits after a good 4hrs. Zayden barely made headway and already had 4 broken bones but wouldnt stop He would finally draw the masamune "If need be i will cut my way through But NONE of you will keep me back and that include..." as he spoke a noose of what seemed to be light would form around his neckand string him from the cieling.
Woltar would slowly approach his flailing body "Lesson 1 was dont be flashy nor talk to much just do what must be done." He said letting him fall to the ground and there battle had begun and in that time zayden had lost conciousness fighting in this stat allowed him to do things even he didnt know he was capable of. But he would never know of these things and ultimately the things he did caused woltar to allow him to pass.

It was early in the AM and it had been almost two months since Isaura had left with his father and woltar wasn't sharing much in the way of WHY the two left together so suddenly. What he did share was that his training was going to be pushed along much further and faster than before and it would get brutal these were all truths. Since the night his training had begun Zayden had suffered 40 broken bones, was pushed to the point of near death 12x, and was forced to fight all the staff at all times of the day. Woltar being the worst he no longer pulled punches he at one point had hit Zayden so hard he shattered his entire spinal column.

The best healers were kept on call and were well compensated. The training had been proving to be a complete success however. Zayden had tapped into his demonic side and while he could barley do much of anything aside from move a bit faster his energy signature changed mimicking a much darker one after noticing theis woltar had taught him an assassination technique (sui satsugai no ito) Murderous intent, Killing Intent. this skill allowed Zayden to detatch himself from emotion and focus only on the kill.

Woltar after teaching him this knew he was almost ready all there was left was for him to cross the gate alone. if he failed the gate would kill him and if he succeded he would be allowed to the other side and his seal would be erased.

Zayden would walk to his balcony and stare thinking to himself a single thought "Isaura". Even with all the training he knew his dad could handle himself but he wanted to help Isaura. "My dads den would hold answers as to where they went but how do i get past Woltar?" he thought.

"Another empty lead i am truly sick of this dead end after dead end someone knows something and someone will talk." Azazel said "We will find him Isaura i promise, its time we go straight to the Demons mouth, and that is literal." He would say as they walked out of a decemated tavern and and looked to the "Demons Mouth Mountain."

Something wasn't right Azazel knew better to think that alucard would leave for the council alone. He knew the path there was treacherous even for warriors of their caliber thats why the trek was always made in pairs at least in there case.
The enrgies he felt from Alucard hadn't completely changed but there was something different about them, they seemed to become weaker. The once near limitless enrgy supply felt as though it was pulsing growing stronger and yet weaker. It was almost as though it was a weak heartbeat, Although alucard didnt have one his energy mimicked one perfectly. But for it to be acting in such a manner he was all but dead or he was in a fight for his non-li... Before this thought could be completed the enrgy signature would go silent. "I- I- Impos- sible" Azazel would say.
This was no accident. he thought to himself. before calling for Woltar and giving him a specific set of instructions. A panicked knock would be heard from the door. Woltar to would open it only to find Isaura standing there. Not caring much for ettiquette at this point she barged in speaking to Azazel directly. Alerting him of what was going on. "Calm down Lily i know i felt it too, And it was no accident someone or something is draining him." He said.
"If your coming we must go NOW" Azazel said watching Isaura storm pass. Azazel would nod towards Woltar "At once sir"

"Its funny" Azazel would say looking at Isaura rosey cheeks. "That boy has been infatuated with you since he laid his little demon gaze on you. "and had it not been for his mother he probably would have told you so, see his mothers are where he got his current wings from to be honest most of his aesthetics come from her. Sadly the he even got her shyness. Had Zayden been full demon you would have known cause he would have been overly protective of you."
Azazel Azazel would walk to Isaura's side and pick her up. Isaura didnt resist as Azazel took off at blinding speed and landing near the portal. "Lets go" Azazel said ushering Isaura through, as he reverted back to his more human like appearance.
"Also worry not here has only pushed on by about 20min even though we were home for about 2hrs." Azazel said reassuring her "You also might wanna check on Zayden Woltar really put him through the paces and last time he fell asleep in the tub a maid found him almost drowning" Azazel said chuckling

Azazel Would turn around looking in Isaura's direction before bringing his Energies under some control. "How long Has it been Lily, 14 no 15 years since you saw me last? he would ask as his words would cause the air to ripple at his words as his energy reached its last stages of getting in order letting Isaura breeath easier in his presence. "Im glad to see you have grown, along with your abilities. You probably dont even remember playing with Zayden when you two were younger. Thats an effect of the gate that was developed to allow us into the other world. the stronger the demon however the more memories we were allowed to retain, but should you cross back into your respective realm all memories would be regained funny thing that gate.

"Your master "Aly" he would get so pissed when i called him that" Azazel would chuckle at himself. "He would often times venture into my realm to cross blades. This was something that had occurred for centuries upon centuries and when power was shifted and we took the place of our respective lords the bond we shared grew with our power almost to the point we could read one another's mind and could detect the other. As of late however even in this realm where my powers are at their strongest I cant get a lock on him. Not to many are capable of blocking HIS energies especially since that's primarily one of the things he's known for is having an almost limitless energy supply, well that and being able to inhale the life force of a victim from miles away." Azazel said his mood going from delighted to worried.

He in fact cared deeply for Alucard a bond forged from rivalry a brotherhood of two. "Lily I ask you have you whereabouts of Alucard's location?" Azazel asked in a rather serious tone. "Any minuscule amount of info would help" He said almost pleading with his for all intents and purpose his niece.

Zayden would take Woltar's advice and head head into the house, Although sore in several different parts of his being, it was a good sore and he remained proud of himself as he made his way through the halls, leaning to everything imaginable to keep his balance stumbling only twice.

"Finally i made it Zayden would exclaim to himself, after letting himself in the room Zayden would notice his little healer still in bed "Wait is that one of my shirts" He mouthed before smiling and noticing she had finally chosen to relax. he would let out a calm sigh as he made his way to the bathroom and turn the water on hot so he could relax and sit in his tub. Zayden removed his sweat drenched clothing before he slid into the pool of hot water.

"I need to be stronger, I need to know that if she were in trouble I could do something to help, Currently I may be able to take a guy or two using what Woltar Showed me, but what if he were more skilled than me "What could I do?" Zayden sat in the pool more so pondering on his strength of mind and body. He began wondering so hard that his mind drifted and ultimately led to him falling asleep.

Woltar smiled realizing the actual fuel behind Zayden's new found want for training. he would start of showing Zayden a few basic strikes and stances teaching him how to maximize his punches and where to place them on an opponent to incapacitate them. Woltar would then begin the shadow dance with him (Slow motion fighting utilizing what he was taught so far) Impressed at how few times Zayden took the wrong action Woltar cocked a smile. "good job Lord Makeru, I'm quite proud of you" he said.

As the sparring continued Woltar sped up a bit turning it up to a more so real sparring match watching Zayden make less and less mistakes from the few taught moves. "Now that you have an ok grasp on offense lets get to work on defense this will push you to your breaking point and once there you will have access to something you didn't know existed within you. are you ready Lord Makeru.

"Yes lets go Woltar would weave his arms and tell Zayden to move, which he couldn't the next hour or so was brutal to Zayden as he receive a series of crushing blows that seemed to heal not long after he was hit but the pain was all to lasting As Zayden let out holler after holler of pain filled screams but refused to give in. "Your mothers blood is beginning to awaken you will heal most minor damage but broken bones torn ligaments are out of your grasp at the moment, but you have done well so go rest up" Woltar said as it had begun to get later into the evening.
