Flashes of her husband, her lost babies, all the ones she watched die in battle, and her sister went through Torvi's mind. Did she fear the death of others? Perhaps at one point she truly did and maybe she feared potentially being the one that brought death to Bowyn or Belle, but she'd also become so numb to death. Death had been a part of her entire life, it had become something normal to her. Even at that she knew that she had a chance to see those loved ones again if she could make it to Valhalla. What she did fear, however, was the undeath her sister was now living. Had the Lich King ruined her sister's chance of making it to an afterlife? This thought made her furious and she felt the rage bubble in her chest briefly. She would get her revenge or she would proudly die trying.

Something the man in front of her said snapped her out of her mind, however, and sent alarm bells running through her. The fear of death is what makes a Lich King. Vaeril is looking for like minded ones that fear death. Something about those two statements coming from this man had Torvi on edge. Was he trying to tell her that Vaeril supported the Lich King? Either way she found herself now guarding against this man. He was not one she felt wise revealing anything to. She kept a pleasant smile on her face. "You do make valid points and perhaps everyone does fear death to a degree, but I myself have gone into life realizing that death is natural. You will lose loved ones on death, but I expect that and it always seems like when it happens another person comes along to help fill that void. I know that one day I too will die and that is fine by me. I also hope that those that love me won't mourn my death, but celebrate the life I had lived." She hoped this dance would be over soon as she wanted to get away from this man and warn her friends that there was something a little fishy about Vaeril and his greeter friend here. "Thank you for indulging me with my curiosity. Vaeril sounds like a truly interesting man and you also are quite intriguing. I've truly enjoyed this dance with you."

Yes, Darius may be her new favorite. This is what went through Azriel's mind as she studied his reactions to her questions. They were all valid questions she felt she had to ask of the human and his responses were...entertaining to say the least. He had a playfulness about him which she enjoyed as she could be quite playful herself, albeit her's tended to be a much darker humor. Perhaps it was something that she could twist in him. "I suppose I did call you handsome, didn't I?" She smirked at him, but then listened to his next words.

The poor thing may be a bit too soft, he needed to be hardened to the harsh realities of life. He needed someone to teach him. Could she teach him? What would Umber think if she took on this human as an apprentice? She caught a quick glance at her mentor dancing with the human he'd found, only staring at him briefly. He'd felt the emotions of that Elsea human and desired to twist her. It made Azriel a little jealous and she turned her attention back to Darius as she made a decision. "I do hope they will hear you out Darius. If anyone can convince them I do believe it will be you. I mean you helped alter this angel's view on humans tonight. If they do not listen, however, then something will have to be done unfortunately. I will take that burden off your shoulders tonight, but in time you will have to learn to take those actions yourself. It won't be an easy thing, but perhaps if you have someone by your side guiding you along and teaching you it will make it a little easier. If you wish it, I will help you." She gave him a soft, reassuring smile, something that was not common to see on Azriel's face. It did something to soften her normal unsettling features and overall demeanor. She didn't even know she was capable of such an expression and yet there it was.

Did he owe her now? In Maeve’s eyes this would make them even as he was kind enough to give her the advice to leave when she did in order to avoid whatever was about to happen in that library. She didn’t say this out loud, however, as he decided to give her another tip. As he spoke of the wine and how if one drank it and died they’d be born anew, her heart dropped a little. She realized immediately what he had done and it made her a little sick, but she didn’t show it. Instead she kept up her playful persona. ”I thought the wine tasted a little salty.” She said with a small laugh as she began to leave the University and head towards Alexander’s home. ”That’s quite a clever trick, quite impressive. I suppose it’s a good thing I always take precautions when leaving my house to protect me from death.” She sighed and then smirked at him a bit. ”Because I don’t think I’m quite ready to become one of Dracula’s brides.” It was a cheeky, teasing remark, but it held the truth.

Drake had come to her in the past, wanting her to be a part of his clan, but she’d refused as she had responsibilities to her coven. Besides she wasn’t quite bored with casting magic even though she’d been doing so for over 1000 years. ”Perhaps one day when I tire of this life I’d like to try something new, but for now I have far too many responsibilities which I’m sure you understand.” She’d be lying if she said she hadn’t considered what it would be like to be a vampire for a brief moment. It certainly would be something new and exciting, but that was also the problem. It would be something new. She’d become so familiar with magic and mastering it that it was a comfort, a safety blanket for her. She wasn’t sure what she’d do without it. The thought actually frightened her a bit.

In a dimly lit abandoned warehouse outside of town congregated a small group of men. One of said men was currently cleaning blood off his hands with a rag. In the back the other men were cleaning up a mangled body that was quite the gruesome sight. ”Conner make sure this all gets cleaned up properly and that there’s nothing left behind. Then let Catherine know that things have been taken care of and Danny isn’t going to be spilling any secrets to Operation Humanity ever.” Marius said to one of the men, having quite the authoritative air about him.

”Sure thing boss, but don’t you think you should come back and inform people yourself? Everyone has been wondering where you’ve been.” It was a mistake to say and Conner soon realized this as he was grasped by the throat and the snarling face of Marius was in his.

”Just do it before I lose my temper on you and you end up just like poor Danny over there.” His voice was filled with so much murderous intent that Conner found himself gulping and nodding quickly. He didn’t dare try to say anything else as Marius let him go and he scurried off. Marius took one last look at the group before silently making his way out of the building.

Now he was on his way home, having stopped at the store briefly to buy Millie some flowers and her favorite white chocolate along with some other groceries as he’d claimed to be going out to run some errands. The past few weeks had been wonderful with the witch, avoiding doing too much for the clan, but Marius knew that he’d have to get back to things if he wanted to keep in good graces with them. So when he was approached to take a job that was a simple interrogation and disposal he took it. He didn’t inform Millie, however, as he didn’t want to upset her. So he had to keep it secret and hoped that he could distract her when he got home with pretty little trinkets.

Entering the house he could smell the food cooking and he smiled to himself as she silently crept through the house, planning on surprising his love with the flowers. The sight he was greeted with in the kitchen was the pink haired witch holding something and debating on putting it in the pot. He could smell the salt from the tears that fell and decided to remain there silently watching to see how things played out. There had been a part of him that suspected for a while that she’d been casting a spell on him, but he had yet to question her. He’d been curious if she’d keep it up or if she really cared about him and it seemed like right now he was about to find out. Would he be mad if she continued to cast the spell? He wasn’t entirely sure, but what he did know is that whatever she’d been casting had worn off on him about an hour ago. It had been in the middle of the interrogation and he’d realized that he was able to focus more as his mind wasn’t absolutely consumed with thoughts of Millie. She was still there obviously, but he could focus a bit more on the job at hand.

She threw the object on the ground and then slid to the floor, clutching a bracelet he’d given her a while back. She’d made her choice and something about it made him smile a bit to himself. ”Silly girl.” He said, shaking his head as he finally entered the kitchen. He stopped to pick up the heart and examined it for a moment before tossing it in the trash. He then moved over to Millie and knelt beside her. ”Oh little Emelie, have you been casting spells on me?” He asked as he gently took hold of her chin and made her look at him. He smirked at her as he shook his head while he tsked at her. ”Now, now, that certainly won’t do. How shall I punish you for doing something so vile? Oh I know.” He grinned, bearing his fangs as he moved in closer to her. He then pressed his lips against hers, kissing her softly and sweetly. After a moment he pulled away, still grinning. ”There, that should be sufficient punishment. Now don’t do it again.” He watched her face closely, waiting to see her reaction as he was sure she was most likely expecting the worst.

One interesting and useful thing that came with the career path Kenia had chosen in life was learning how to read body language. While it wouldn’t tell you absolutely everything about a person, it was easier to notice when something was off and something was definitely off with this man. She watched as his eyes kept scanning the crowd around them, looking for something. While he could have been looking for anything, it still caused Kenia to decide this man wasn’t a candidate to inform of their plan. So instead she would just finish out her dance with him and keep up her facade.

Her smile never faltered and she never missed a step in the dance. He claimed to have been invited by a friend, which could have been true. He then asked her reason for being there. ”Well isn’t it obvious?” She asked, face lighting up with excitement. ”I’m here for the atmosphere! I live for these parties! The people, the gossip, the music, the food, everything is just so thrilling!” Lying was so easy for her, it should have been alarming, but it wasn’t. Lying sometimes was like a game to her, what kind of fun stories could she fabricate and make others believe? Now that was definitely something thrilling.

Charming. A word that many people like to use, but for Marius it’s a tactic of manipulation. He’s become quite skilled in reading a person and knows how to easily make someone comfortable around him. It comes in handy in the line of work the Sinclair Foundation has him do. He gets close to people, learns their secrets, and then disposes of them shortly after or on rare occasions brings them back to be used however the clan needs.

Beyond the charm you’ll find that he can be incredibly brutal. Torture isn’t something new to him and some may even say that he finds a small hint of enjoyment in it. There’s definitely a sadistic side to him and he normally won’t hesitate if ordered to kill someone. He follows orders and doesn’t often ask questions, playing the role of the loyal henchman rather well. The only exception to this is Millie.

When it comes to the young witch, he would do anything for her. He doesn’t know what it was that caused him to hesitate in following out the order to dispose of her, having disposed of many innocent and beautiful looking women in the past. There was just something about the girl that caused him to go against orders. Now he protects her fiercely and has become rather possessive of her. If anyone were to look at her the wrong way he wouldn’t hesitate to kill them. He’s been completely bewitched by the woman and oddly enough he enjoys it.

》H i s t o r y

Marius was born in 1903 out of wedlock to the daughter of a prominent mob boss in Chicago. His mother was a woman who had a new man on her arm every week and so his father could have quite honestly been anyone. From what he understands, however, the man assumed to be his father was one who lasted the longest with his mother. He was apparently from an allied family, but mysteriously disappeared one day and left his mother to raise Marius on her own. Of course she wasn’t completely alone as the family stuck together and her father would do anything for his precious daughter. So Marius was born into a life of crime.

At a young age his grandfather began using him in family business, starting him out as a little fly on the wall collecting information. People rarely took notice of a child in the room and spoke without thinking. As he reached his teens he became one of their best negotiators and didn’t hesitate in taking care of a problem if it arose. He had a natural charisma to him and seemed to command a room when he walked in. Because of this, his grandfather named him as the successor of the family once he was gone. Unfortunately his grandfather met his demise when Marius was merely 18 years old and the young man now found himself the leader of a large crime ring.

It wasn’t easy gaining the respect of the members of the family, but he soon made his mark when a cousin tried to start a coup and take over. Marius made an example of him in front of the whole family, showing what would happen if anyone dared to question his authority again. The only thing that was left of the cousin afterwards was some fresh ground meat that was subsequently sold to the zoo as food for some of the carnivorous beasts.

When Marius was 25 years old, someone in the family snitched and the FBI busted them in the prime time they were trying to gain control over the gangsters. Marius had been arrested and imprisoned, only to be sentenced to death row. He was led to the electric chair, however little did he know that wasn’t to be his fate. Another mafia family had paid a hefty price for his life, claiming that it was a favor for Marius father, the still mysterious man who’d apparently been watching Marius grow from the shadows. The catch was that he did still have to die, but he was reborn as a vampire. From then on he was indebted to the Sinclair Foundation.

Marius became one of the Sinclair Foundations top killing machines, murdering and kidnapping those they ordered him to. He never questioned anything until the day he kidnapped a young witch from the Coven of Ancients. He helped in torturing and tormenting her, but she never spoke. This was something that impressed him and perhaps that is what began his obsession with her. He soon found himself visiting her daily, bringing her different little trinkets to pass her time while in their custody. Of course he kept this all secret from the others in the clan. It wasn’t until they ordered him to get rid of her that he made the decision to disobey and keep her as a pet. He soon convinced them that she could be useful to them as she could cast magic for them. He assured them that he’d make sure she’d be completely loyal, and loyal she became, though not to the clan but to him.

Now he’s bought a small house and has moved in with Millie, wishing to put some distance between them and the clan in order to protect her. Perhaps his obsession is unnatural, but she is his and he is hers and they’d take on the world together.

Helmar had lazily gotten up and moved over to Volfango to smell him, quickly deciding that the man was no threat to Sorrel before also following her around for a moment. He sat himself next to her as she placed the roses into a vase and just looked up at Volfango. Sorrel had been grinning as Volfango spoke, rather impressed with his charm. When he took her hand, however, she found herself stiffening just a bit as she now looked up at him. For a brief moment an image flashed in her mind of another man from many years ago who had been just as charming and used that charm to steal everything from her. It took everything in her to keep from yanking away and taking a step back. She had to silently remind herself that he was gone, she’d made sure of that, and couldn’t hurt anyone ever again. She was much stronger than she was back then and no one would ever take advantage of her like that.

She began to feel silly for her momentary internal panic and felt her cheeks redden in a blush of embarrassment. She hoped, however, that Volfango would merely think it was because of his words and not suspect anything else. Still she could feel her heart racing in her chest as she forced a smile up at him. ”W-well that truly does sound like a marvelous evening.” She stuttered out and quickly cleared her throat. ”Shall we head out then? I’m quite eager to begin this date.” She gave him a playful wink, ready to follow him out the door.

”Be good Helmar and don’t wait up.” She said jokingly to the dog who in turn didn’t seem that amused as he moved over to his dog bed and lay down with a sigh. She grabbed her purse and would make sure to lock her door as they left as she didn’t wish for any intruders to make it into her apartment. She was filled with excitement and nervousness once more as she wondered how the night would play out.

”Ah yes, it is getting rather late isn’t it? Have a wonderful rest of your evening Mr. Drake.” Maeve bid the old vampire farewell, catching onto his cryptic warning. She wasn’t entirely sure what he had planned for the poor people that decided to stay at this exhibit, but she could only imagine. While she felt bad for leaving them to a potentially terrible fate, she also knew she needed to keep a low profile and helping save all these people would be doing the opposite of that. Not to mention she would surely upset Alexander if he knew she interfered with his plans and the last thing she needed was a feud with the vampire. So she would take her leave as soon as her business was over with.

She moved over to Demitri in order to pay for the portrait, pulling out her checkbook as she approached him. She began making the check out for exactly what she’d offered, triple the asking price. Some may think she was absolutely insane for paying that for the painting, but she’d learned long ago that if you had the money to spend why not spend it? ”Oh no need to wrap it Demitri, I don’t mind taking it as is. That way I can be out of your hair as quickly as possible.” She said as she gave the man a wink and handed the check over.

As soon as the painting was in her possession she moved over towards the young woman who had bid on the painting earlier. As she was approaching her and the man that was speaking with her, she also reached into her purse and grabbed hold of two business cards. ”Cingo terminus..” She whispered, modifying the boundary ward to be attached to the two business cards. Then through that spell she also attached a defensive spell that would repel a vampire from being able to attack whoever possessed the enchanted cards for the next ten minutes. It wasn’t much, but she’d hoped it would provide enough time for the recipients to get out of there before any harm came to them.

”Excuse me, I’m so sorry to intrude on your conversation, but I have a gift for the young lady.” She gave both Shay and Elias a friendly smile as she held out the painting to Shay. ”I just wanna say that I’m impressed that a young woman such as yourself is showing interest in art. So I figured that should be rewarded.” Once the painting had been taken she also held out both business cards to Shay and Elias. ”I also wanted to give you both these. If you bring them into the shop I’ll treat you to anything you want on my menu. I hope to see you both in my shop sometime soon. Now I must be off, I don’t like to be out on these streets too late at night as there are wicked things that like to come out to play.” She flicked her gaze to the men that were entering the exhibit now, hoping that the two caught onto her warning. She may not be able to save everyone in here, but she prayed she could at least save a few. She then bid them farewell as she began heading towards the exit.

She took notice of Finn speaking with the lovely redheaded woman and decided to say something to them on her way out. ”I love your dress, it’s almost as lovely as the woman who’s wearing it.” She gave the redhead a wink before looking at Finn.

”I do hope I’ll see you tomorrow, I don’t like being disappointed.” She blew Finn a kiss, all while silently placing a protective ward over him, the redhead, and even the young girl who’d drawn the mustache on the one painting. It wouldn’t be as strong as the cards she’d given Shay and Elias, but it should at least reduce harm that may come to them. She knew she was being risky by using this magic on these five people as if any of them were familiar with magic they’d realize that they’d had a spell cast on them as soon as anyone tried to harm them, but it was a risk she was willing to take. She wasn’t completely harmless and if she could help someone get out of here alive tonight then she’d take it. With that she left the exhibit and got into her car, ready to head home for the night.

As she was about to drive away she noticed Alexander in a vehicle who's windshield was covered in paint. It would only take one guess as to who was the culprit behind that as she thought back to the little girl on the skateboard. "God dammit..." She sighed as she began to regret casting that spell on her. The little shit probably deserved whatever was about to happen in there. She shook her head and then made a decision as she pulled up beside Alexander. "Hey handsome, need a ride?" She said through her window, giving him a smile though her face showed that she felt bad that he couldn't catch a break tonight.

”What can I say? My parents like unique names, that's for sure.” Torvi giggled, keeping her smile in place. She’d considered the fact that perhaps her name would sound too human, but there’d been humans in this world before so who was to say that some names hadn’t carried over since then. She figured it would be an easy thing to play off if questioned about it. Besides, if she came across another human maybe it would be a clue to them as well and make identifying allies easier.

She listened to him explain who the elven man was and while he seemed rather trustworthy, in the back of her mind she could hear Bowyn cautioning her to not be trusting at pretty words. Still, perhaps this man was someone they should get to know a bit more about. ”You may have caught me my friend, he is quite handsome and I can only imagine someone as wealthy as him would be quite powerful.” She said as she managed to force a blush to cross over her features. He’d managed to give her the perfect excuse as to why she was asking about Vaeril and she’d latched on to it, ready to ride it out.

His statement about those feeling it’s natural to fear death was quite intriguing to her. ”Natural to fear death? But why should one fear death? I think death is something that shouldn’t be feared, but instead should be celebrated. It can be quite honorable so there’s no reason to fear it, wouldn’t you say?” Perhaps this wasn’t a normal thinking in this world, but she’d been raised not to fear death. One should embrace it and if you could die honorably it was even better. You’d be granted the chance to dine with the gods and heroes of old. That was something she strived for.

Darius had stopped dancing as Azriel had obviously surprised him with her statement. Internally she was smirking giddy, but she kept her face neutral. Had he been hoping that they wouldn’t find any humans tonight? Or perhaps he was apprehensive about what finding humans would mean. She remained silent as they resumed dancing, but he seemed to be working through something in his head. She found it quite interesting as Jack had seemed eager to kill humans, but Darius was different. Did he want to save them? It was a noble goal if that was the case, but it also made her question if he’d be prepared to do what was necessary if it came to it.

When he finally spoke again there was a smile that crossed her face once more. So he truly was on their side for the time being then. That was a good thing. ”Yes, that we will. I just hope you are prepared for what you need to do if they wish to stay on the same course they are on.” It was one last little push at him, but she felt it was necessary as he needed to know what he’d signed up for. This was not something for the faint of heart. ”As for tips I feel like you may be the best equipped to find them, however if there’s anything I can advise it would be to look for Light Elves. They will most likely be disguised as them as I would think it’d be easiest.” She kept her voice low to keep anyone from overhearing them.

Shay Knight. That was a name Maeve hadn't heard before, but it definitely didn't mean that someone in her coven hadn't heard of her or been approached. She turned to look at the painting in order to know what the girl looked like and also took notice of some bidding war going on. She kept one eye on the bidding war while also still keeping her attention on Alexander. "She is quite a beauty, that's for sure. Unfortunately I have yet to hear her name. I will definitely keep my ears open tho and ask my people if any of them have heard anything." She was completely honest with him, giving him a small smile. While she couldn't in good conscience promise to help him get the girl back, she'd also probably keep from helping the girl as little as possible. She might even suggest to her that she flee town if she ran into her. Either way she needed to stay in good graces with Alexander all while not becoming a culprit in his keeping of people. It was a tough situation to be in, but she'd manage as she always did.

The bidding war seemed to end in neither parties winning, which Maeve was rather glad the man didn't win. He seemed to be quite the pompous ass and was a little condescending to the girl. That was something that irritated her. She turned back to look at Alexander, however, as he declared that billiards would be his next hobby. "Oh billiards sounds like a wonderful hobby. We should get together and play sometime then." She said with a smile and then glanced over to the college girl who lost the chance to buy the painting of Miss Shay. There was another man who seemed to be talking to her now and as the girl was distracted, Maeve made a decision. "Would you allow me to purchase the painting of Miss Shay? I'll gladly give you triple of what your asking for it." She asked him hopefully.
