General Bloodreaver was behind her suddenly, chuckling darkly with his chilling voice. Cold as the grave, one might say. Most people found Maliborne intimidating... But most people found Bloodreaver downright terrifying. Skulls and other bones decorated his scarred armor, and the massive sword at his side was threatening enough as it was. But the look he always had on his face; a stone-dead gaze, emotionless aside from a small smirk and a burning hatred in his eyes, was enough to make even the most toughened of men wet themselves with nightmares. Walking as though possessed, Bloodreaver wandered in her direction, still chuckling. "You're in Maliborne's Castle, dear," he whispered, his voice full of the burning hatred that devoured his eyes. "Welcome home."

She was bravier than most. She looked around the room, decorned in gargoyles and dark crushed velvet walls and curtains. It was dark and eerie, yes, but in a magical way, beautiful. "I had a feeling that's where I was," she said, a hand still on her slightly rounded stomach. There, she then realized, was not the normal feel of a cotton dress she adorned. In it's place, she saw as she looked down, was an elegant gold and black ballgown that made her look absoulutely stunning. In a dark and eerie way. She kinda liked it. "Who are you?" she asked the General, as she stood up to face him. Even at her height of six feet, he still was at least three inches taller. ...I'm on the dark side now."

General Bloodreaver chuckled a while before answering. "Most people around here simply refer to me as General, or sir... So with you it shall be the same," he said simply, establishing his air of dominance and authority. Few people challenged Bloodreaver's authority, and those who did were dealt with. Harshly. It didn't matter who he was talking to; he commanded respect at all times, or earned fear. Even Maliborne showed Bloodreaver his proper respect, although it was admittedly less than others. But this man, this evil figure, an embodiment of darkness, had the audacity to smile; a sign of happiness on a face so accustomed to being surrounded by pain was a blasphemy to his efforts. It was as twisted as his soul, casting more of a sneer over her than a smile; giving him the look of a psychopath rather than a general. The decorative bones adorning his armor only furthered the image of the Devil himself; the only missing part was the horns and cloven feet.

She never matched up to the General, no, and both he and she knew that. Still, she wanted to stand her ground as much as possible around anyone. She understood a general's point of view from her greatgrandfather's lectures about, "Back in my day..." mumbogumbo of him fighting in one of the many wars, but she also had her point of view which basically stated, "I will not show fear at anytime. I will stand strongand brave." Which she knew the General saw too, as an admirable trait. ...I'm on the dark side now." Beauty ~{@}~ Power ~{@}~ Strength ~{@}~ Lust

"They refer to me as General Bloodreaver. As will you," he repeated, his smirk only twitching minutely. His face still showing nothing but hatred, he huffed slightly as she put on the tough girl act. "Look here miss. You might be daughter-in-law to Maliborne himself. But if you think that means you can disrespect me, I want you to ask yourself this; how is he able to be so powerful? Who commands his armies, trains his soldiers? He may be one of the most powerful sorcerers in history, girl, but the man is no leader. Without his generals, this war would have ended a long time ago... And your precious Stephen, my 'prince,' wouldn't be alive." the word prince had been spit, as if the word itself left a bad taste in his mouth. He did have a higher opinion of her for at least attempting to stand up to him... But he'd be damned before he let Stephen's little girlfriend disrespect him in his own home, the land he fought to make safe. As long as she understood that, they'd have no problems.

General Bloodreaver only chuckled, shaking his head. "Easier said than done, milady. You've seen the troops, haven't you? A bunch of untrained, undisciplined imbeciles and rejects. Maliborne called in this attack much too soon, if you ask me... When Aurora High retaliates, and they will retaliate... I honestly don't think they'll be ready." He chuckled again, shaking his head. "We should have taken all of them. We should have waited a month or two for training. We should have done a whole mess of things to make sure this went over better than it will.... But Maliborne is blinded by greed," he said, frowning. "This whole ******** system is blinded by greed and hatred. Maliborne hates his brother and the school, and is greedy for the entire world. Stephen hates his father and being second, and is greedy for more power. Everyone in a position of power here has some ulterior motive behind joining Maliborne... And that, if anything, will be what brings this whole war machine crashing down." He shook his head, closing his eyes for a moment. "Just figured you could use a warning. Keep your head down, and maybe when the s**t hits the fan, you won't be among the pile of the dead. And trust me, it's gonna be one hell of a pile..."

Send me away with the words of a love song "I don't mean to rain on your parade but...""Death Can Not Stop True Love...""All It Can Do Is Delay It A While." 『 "Thanks for the advice,"』she said, "But I think as long as I'm with Stephen, me and the baby will be fine." She then put her hand on her belly and walked out of the room to explore the castle a bit. She promised the General Bloodsucker...whatever his name was, she'd be careful as she did. What she was really doing though, was trying to find Stephen. She hdn't seen him in months due to this war and his father. And she knew he missed her too, because he sent her a letter that set fire to itself the second she finished reading it. Obviously, it was dangerous for them to talk; but the letter he sent reminded her that he still cared for her, and was excited about being a father and making her his wife and princess someday. He was just worried his father would use their heir as a weapon, so for now they were seperated. ...Well that was a month or so ago, he sent that. Now she was at the castle as a permanent resident she guessed. Now she was fully round and pregnant, and there was no hiding it, even under the gown they put her in. Now she was roaming the halls looking for her beloved so they could reunite at last! ...I'm on the dark side now." Beauty ~{@}~ Power ~{@}~ Strength ~{@}~ Lust

_______________________________________ Yes, a few remained to guide and teach the new race, to nudge them along the road to greatness. But not to interfere, not to influence and definitely not
to rule.
_______________________________________ ⋩ Stephen di Upsilon had not been back for long. His long absence had been a grave mistake and he kept blaming himself for it. Unconsciously, he touched the Nightmare Watch, securely wrapped around his wrist, which was the only thing that reassured him that that mistake would not happen again. He could not risk it. Not with everything he had to lose.
So it was with determination now that he quietly moved through the halls of Maliborne's Castle. Every powerful magician in the vicinity was probably aware of his presence by now because of all the magic he was using. They wouldn't know who was using the magic though or where he was either; and with the amount of magic used daily in this place they wouldn't think about his twice. Every magic had a signature though, a unique hint that marked it to its owner; he was sure that Maliborne already knew he was in the castle. He would deal with him later though, he had more important things to do.
He took another turn, trying to make sense of the Hinting Compass he held in his hand. The only sample he had of the magic he was tracking was very faint; the needle kept swirling around as if lost until it finally chose the right path again. Stephen had no idea where he was going and he was glad that there didn't seem to be that many people around. Not that he would take the risk of being discovered. That is why he had used his magic to become part of the shadows, to wrap himself with them so he could walk unnoticed. It wasn't true invisibility but he was very, very dim and as long as nobody already knew where he was standing they wouldn't be able to see him.
Suddenly, the Hinting Compass's needle swirled around as if it were in the middle of a storm. It was growing hot and darker in his hand; it pointed towards him, then forward before the needle vanished. Stephen stared at it open-mouthed. What the... He couldn't believe this was happening. That he had came all this way for nothing. He was about to throw the Compass against a wall when he noticed the figure in front of him. He froze instantly. A figure with fiery red hair, that wore a shimmering gold gown. "Kristalee..." he said, just a stunned whisper.

Send me away with the words of a love song "We're having a baby...""Death Can Not Stop True Love..." "All It Can Do Is Delay It A While." 『 Turning to see who called her name,』Kristalee was happily surprised to see Stephen. Hearing her name in hs voice again, made her smile, and without thinking she ran over to him and hugged him tightly. Fancy gown and hair or not, she was still the same girl he met almost a year ago. And she knew he was the same guy. "Stephen," she sighed, closing her eyes for a moment as she hugged him, "I missed you so much... Oh, the fairytales were right. My prince did find me..." She then pulled back a little, to look into his eyes with her own watery ones, plus to give her belly some room and not squeesh the baby out of her. Seeing Stephen again made her so happy. It made her day somehow brighter, even though the magic surrounding the castle made it permanately night here. She remembered Sstephen once telling her, if he ever escaped his father's control, he'd move to the beach and take her with him. That memory always made her smile and gave her hope. That memory helped her make it here today. "...It's a girl." Beauty ~{@}~ Power ~{@}~ Strength ~{@}~ Lust

_______________________________________ Yes, a few remained to guide and teach the new race, to nudge them along the road to greatness. But not to interfere, not to influence and definitely not
to rule.
_______________________________________ ⋩ Stephen was almost too stunned when he saw Anaiis's face light up when she saw him, as if he were her favorite person in all the world. He was almost too stunned to see her immediately run towards him and hug him tightly. She's happy. She missed me after all. he realized. She said so herself and he couldn't help but smile at that. Tucking the Hinting Compass into one of the many pockets his coat possessed, he wrapped his arms around her and embraced her, wanting to feel her close after all the time they had been apart.
I'm back...and I won't leave again. he thought. He had promised it to himself. That it would never happen again. He had almost died this past few months, in more ways than one. If only everything really would be okay now. If only it would really be like a fairy tale like she said, then everything wouldn't be so complicated. Then it could all be solved in a second with chant or a spell, a ridiculous miracle or something so simple as a kiss. If only.
A kiss would not be a bad idea at this moment though. So as he caressed her hair, probably messing the finely tucked strands as he did so, he kissed her. The kiss was soft, yet long and filled with all he felt for her. And when it was finally broken, he took a moment to stare into her eyes. His hands strayed, unconsciously moving down...he felt her belly. Stephen looked down briefly, before looking at Anaiis again, his eyebrows raised and an amused expression on his face. "You've grown."

Send me away with the words of a love song "We're having a baby...""Death Can Not Stop True Love...""All It Can Do Is Delay It A While." 『 Kristalee closed her eyes, 』 and smiled as Stephen kissed her tenderly and softly. It had been such a long time since they'd seen each other, let alone kissed. She learned because of that to savour every one they shared from now on. To be away from the person she did indeed love most in this world, hurt her terribly. And there had been a few close calls with her pregnancy, from the anxiety and stress and sadness that came from worrying about Stephen. But his occasional self-distructing letters helped to soothe and calm her through these hard times almost as well as his touch. Now in his arms again, she knew they were far from being safe, but she felt safe, and that helped her stress alot. When the kiss ended and she heard his comment, she couldn't help but smile softly and reply in the same tone, "Well I am pregnant... Or did you forget? Since the day you left was also the same day we found out." "...It's a girl." Beauty ~{@}~ Power ~{@}~ Strength ~{@}~ Lust

_______________________________________ ⋩ At those words the smile vanished from Stephen's face. He sighed and looked down, his hair falling over his face in such a way that his face was in shadow; so that whatever was in his eyes was hidden from view. "No." he murmured, his tone almost expressionless, as if trying to hide some greater emotion. "I haven't forgotten."
He barely moved, only softly caressing her belly, as the silence filled the hall. She was bigger than he had imagined. Which was to be expected, as he had been barely conscious of the past few months. Nevertheless, it had been his fault. Stephen raised his head and looked at Anaiis, though his eyes kept straying, not quite meeting hers, as if unwilling to let her see what was in his eyes.
There was something there alright. But not even he could have said what exactly. Shame? Regret? Sorrow? Self-loathing? All of the above? Or none at all? Whatever it was, the tone of his voice didn't make it any clearer. "I owe you an apology. I should never have left. My fault, I know..." he said, with a dry chuckle. "My own weakness...I'm sorry."

You kind of had an "Edward moment" there for a minute. You stupidly left me alone, when it was probably wiser to stay with me," she told him, giving a little tip of the hat to Twilight as she did.

_______________________________________ ⋩ "An Edward moment?" he had to ask as he laughed; in a moment like this she had made him laugh, as easily as if a wind had blown it away. "I swear, only you would say that." he shook his head, trying not to smile. "And yes, my father could be a problem. Don't doubt that."
At that moment he finally remembered that he was in a hall, in the middle of Maliborne's castle no less. He kept an arm around Anaiis and turned her so that they could keep walking down the hall. "We can't stay here, someone might see me and I would prefer them not to know I'm back yet. Where is your room?" Hopefully they wouldn't stumble upon anyone. Stephen was definitely hoping so, since he had cast aside the shadows that cloaked him from view and he was perfectly visible now.
