Underworld

Ella folded her arms across her chest. "Look i have no clue where you came from and i don't care. But you are picking a fight with the wrong girl." she said.
 
Hector vines-
He sat in the study of the old castle almost drifting into and out of sleep as the water pattered against the roof.
The small castle was passed down to him along with a small amount of property where he employed
a few hundred people .
he was fair man and knew his people were suffering the endless slaughters sent from the dark place just beyond the horizon.many men fell there and those that returned were never quite the same.
Blue orbs fell on the dark spot in the sky some kind of wizardry of forgotten past. He had heard rumor of Dracula lord of the vampires and all things dark was the cause of the eyesore.
By day his people would harvest and by night they would stay within the castle walls a sanctuary of holy ground this brought some relief to the people of the land

,Hector was kind and would never turn away a person in need,even in the depths of the night. He rotated the quill in his hand drawing pictures of the monsters he had encountered in his life all stemming from the dark place.

He had become quite the demonologist.
Learning weaknesses of such vile beasts .
Drawing a breath he looked down on the paladins of different kingdoms all come here to train and quell the evil of the land or die trying.
His hands clasped behind his back as he stared out of the window to the blackness.
He was one of the few strongholds that was not over run by the hordes of the undead and the minions of demons. He rubbed his cheek where a claw had ripped through his flesh,it was soothing somehow.
Eyes shifted and fell on the armor polished so finely a diamond in the darkness. He was preparing to strike at the death that loomed on the horizon. His sword, only equal by one other in the whole land ,It was called" Demon Bane" legend held that this blade was forged in the very depths of heavens fire and then cooled in the blood of devils. He was building an army within the walls once they were ready they would strike at at the death that loomed on the horizon.paladin.jpg
 
" I have no use for him but he has information." Dracula turned and faced the man beast " what say you? Do you really think you'll ever be free even beyond these walls? After all that's happened what would you really do?"
 
Kyros flinched, turning his eyes away, refusing to look at the vampire. Dracula was right, of course; the lycan would never really be free, not in a year, not in a thousand. He admitted he was broken, but he wasn't giving into that fear again. "No, I'll never be free...I know that..." He muttered, rolling his shoulder, "But that's not going to stop me from surviving. I'm a Lycan born and bred, I was free once before." He still didn't look at Dracula, but his voice was sure and firm, "I'll make due, like all of my kind does."
 
-Hector stared at Demon Bane for a long while he had always admired the workmanship of the blade. He balanced the sword on his fingertips with minimal effort and gazed into the reflection of himself and drawn into an old memory-
Hector was 16 when this blade was passed down father to son it was a true heirloom as it came time for him to inherit the weapon his father explained what kind of power he was holding.
Demons Bane was crafted in te fires of heaven then cast into the pits of hell where it was cooled by the blood of devils such workmanship was put into this blade that only one of a true heart could weild this weapon it had powers. The chosen could not be affected by hypnotic suggestions from an evil source,he could make the undead retreat and heal quickly the blade never dulled and always shined. the chosen of this weapon could use it as an expert any knowledge that the prior handler gained was passed to the new handler.the most devastating power it could use was called angel fire for any wound inflicted by this sword to an evil entity could not be healed.


He woke up with a startle as the swords below clanged each soldier in unison with the rest.He watched as his banner flew in the wind and looked across the land at the moment an uneasy peace that would not last long when his soldiers were ready the peace would be shattered and the age old war of dark and light would be reignited.
 
Clare saw the man (Hector). she watched him from the trees and the fight. After the fight she walked up to him. "do you need help." she said with an evil smiles onle the devil would have. she was a damon half humen anyways. she like an mans soul. he looked two years older then her she would love to have his. she walked up to him with her darger and sword hiding well. "so sir what is your name." a devil she was she need to know his name.

Dracula nodded " it seems you understand and as I have no use for you here, you may go with your...friend." Releasing him would allow Dracula to find out what her true motives were in helping her friend. The creatures of the dark were commanded by him wolves spiders crows and the like all these he could use to see and listen from. Make your enemy think they are safe and alone who knows what they might tell.
 
Old magic. Vampire darkness. The chains on Kryos snapped open and fell to the stone floor at Dracula's words. He rubbed his wrist, the raw skin bleeding slightly. Even years in chains his skin could only take so much before they would start bleeding again. He still didn't look at the vampire, but nodded slightly. Now was the time to be careful and tread lightly. Now, he would take chances he only dreamed off.
 
Blair smiles. "So what now master?" She looks over to Dracula with a sweet smile on her face. She always had to have that smile when talking to him. That stupid smile she hated but not as much as the fairy princess taking away all the attention from her. She wanted to kick her out and never see her again.
 
"Before you depart tell me what will you do? And Blair don't you have studies to do? I myself must take leave." Dracula trained in fighting every so often, but this time he would venture out into the wild out if the castle. It had been centuries since he left these walls and he needed to see the lands for himself.
 
Blair sighs. "No. I know everything that I need to know. "
 
Dracula gave Blair a look over and smiled he knew what she was thinking, but for her to stay her spells needed to be if greater use to him after all her magic protected the castle itself
 
Hector strapped his sword to his belt and made his way to the stables ,he figured it a good day to go for a ride. the White mare he called her ivy she was a grand beast her whole body bred to be a warhorse. she was 7ft at her shoulders and raw muscle. Strapping his boots he looked at the stable man

"good day for a ride sir? "he looked at hector before cinching the black saddle and black tack.

Hector looked at the stable hand and nodded "Yes it is a nice day for a ride and the people need to see their Lord it helps with morale in such dark days."
He lept up on the saddle and placed his feet in the stirrups.

He embodied the classic noble man even at relax he carried an air of authority about him. People nodded their heads and bowed slightly as he rode past.The guards slammed their fists against their armor and the lancers saluted.

Hector nodded to each in return and saluted his soldiers. As he rode he offered a few words of appreciation and morale. he was very charismatic anyone that came to him seemed to be enthralled with him their loyalty was absolute. On the outskirts of town an armored escort the Red Guard a name they had adapted for themselves met up with him ,he almost told them no but knew it would do no good. A few salutes and hugs were given between the group.
The red Guard was veterans of wars and among his most respected soldiers.
Though his army was small in comparison to most containing all of fifty men they were all good men and were feared on the battle field.
 
Blair blushes and turns away. Maybe there was some hope of him not liking the princess at all. In fact he might just be using her.
 
"Hullo again Hector." Says a female voice behind him. When they turn, weapons drawn they see a cat. This was no ordinary cat though, its coat was a flame on her back. Not flinching at the hostile response she sits, curling her tail around her paws.

"Now now boys, is that any way to treat a lady of combat?" She says teasingly.

She had known Hector for a while and fought along side him when needed but was rather rouge. She didnt prefer orders and acted as she thought best for herself and everyone around her. She had a carring side to her, few saw it though. She was trained especially in combat her whole life.

The cat slowly lifts her haunches from the ground till it's standing at its full height, about as tall as a panther. The fire blazed and engulfed her body and when the flames subsided there stood a woman, long dark brown hair pulled back in a tight pony tail. Bright orange ears poke out from her head and a matching tail can be seen behind her. Bowing low to the ground tilts her head to look up at Hector, "Long time no see old friend."

-Hector almost unsheathed his blade but when he recognized the voice he stopped"At ease Men " the red guard relaxed quickly before looking at hector questioningly.

He lifted his hand "Is a long story gentlemen"
Jumping down from his horse he walked to Blaise and hugs her"How are you old friend?" he kept his hands on his shoulders"I see you got my Message?"stepping back he looks her up and down"Keeping out of trouble?" he scoffed some how he doubted it.

"I thank you for coming in such short notice,the days are dark and people are loosing their faith" .He waved his hands"No need to bow ,milady". Turning to face his men he stepped aside"Gentlemen this is Blaise she helped me when things were tough and many men defected she was the only one to stay"..

He let the men introduce themselves and they each kissed her hand before he jumped up on his mare. he adjusted himself and offered a hand to Blaise easily pulling her up on the horse"I insist you come and stay with me and my men" "So how have you been?"...
 
"You really expect me to stay out of trouble? Hector still as ignorant as ever." She says with a broad grin and a smile. "I've been doing fine, caught a few dear on the way here so im full for now, wont last long though." She says with a wink at Hector.

As the men introduce themselves and kiss her hand she nods at them and speaks to Hector. "It was no trouble, been rather bored nothing to fight or kill. Least nothing challenging."

Watches as the others climb on their mares, "Nice beast, some of the best ive seen in a while." She says reaching out and stroking one down the nose. Looking at Hectors hand grabs it with hers and braces as he pulls atop his horse. "Been ok, watching the woods havent been much going on. How about you?"
 
Ella narrowed her eyes at the witch. She didn't like her and didn't trust her as far as she could throw her. However, her frown turned upside down when she saw Dracula release her friend. She wasn't dumb, she knew that he would probably send someone to watch them. So she started thinking of a plan. Ella smiled and said to Dracula, "Thank you. What will I do? Well now i'm going to go home and prepare my soldiers. I should be back within three days." she said.
 
He sighs and waves his hand over the desolate land."You see it,the crops won't grow and the sun rarely shines my people are starving" lowers his
head "The are starting to loose their faith and i can't say as i blame them"He spurs the horse along"The land is dying i fear i may have to collect everyone and find better land or defeat the dark" he points west.
Is said Dracula brings this curse here. " A bit of anger in his voice not at her but at the circumstances.
"I have fought for so long and so hard yet the devil still has his day" . He ran his hands through the long yellow hair then traces the scar on his face. "I have brought you into less than desirable situation" his head shifted and he turned the horses around.

But other than that nothin really .
When hector and his entourage get to the gates of the stronghold he waits while the bridge is lowered over the oil filled moat and they go in.
The soldiers in training stop for a moment and salute him as he passes"Good work men" he says with a smile"Our day will come and we will smite the forbidden from this realm,and when that day comes it will be an honor to fight at each one of your sides"
with that said a loud cheer erupted through the ranks "Glory to God and may our blades be blessed!" Riding the mare to her stables he dismounted."Blaise welcome to my home whats mine is yours. " He dismounted and helped her down.
"Dinner will be served shortly ,I would very much like it if you join us maybe then we can catch up?, You can have whichever quarters you like
"I will be sure to send a seamstress to you and have her spin you some clothing. ",
your weapons can be repaired by the armorer there " he pointed to a blacksmith shop its fires bellowing smoke and fire glowing red.
