"Much the way you came to the manor too Niah. Drenched, cold, disheveled. Carrying what looked like a drowned rat. You aren't much different."

"I don't drink, and it is imposible for me to become intoxicated... by mortal means..." The archangel looks about the room. "These things are for the mortal races. Elves tend to drink the most, oddly." Azaireal looks at the gathering. "This manor is the centre of the universe, how else do you explain the variety of beings?"

Coban crossed his arms and cleared his throat. "I guess that can be considered both lucky and unlucky. Anyway, Aurahkah, come with us. Preferably to the graveyard. Less energy use." That said, Coban simply melded into the air and was gone.
"Always the conservationist...but he's right dear. We did have something rather important to talk to you about." She nodded to the others. "Nice meeting you both." She then looked to Eclipse. "Clip, I want you to stay here dear. Watch the place. I promise we won't keep her away too long." Kali gave a wave to the group, making her exit in much the same way.
Aura sighed and finished off her glass of wine. "Damn portal to hell rumor. Excuse me you two, family business to attend to." Aura dropped her glass off in the sink on her way out and disappeared out of the kitchen.
Fluffing his wings Eclipse yawned and laid his head down on his paws. "Gods...she wont' be back for hours..." He snorted. "That Coban worries far to much." The ebony winged wolf looked to the remaining people. "Don't burn the manor down. I'm taking a nap." With another snort Eclipse vanished into the Shadow plane.
((Night guys, gotta get up early.))

Nailah nodded. "Ah yes, it is the vampires who drink with the common folk. Ah so many wonderful memories." She shook her head. "Goodbye ghosts, Aura." Nialah waited a few minutes unitil she was certain Aura was truly gone and then went over to the bar. Grabbing the bottle of wine she refilled her glass and took another sip. "Ah sweet wine. Aura would not have let me have another glass. She thinks I'm going to turn into a drunk or some nonesense like that. She loves to say it's for my own good, but i know better. She just wants to tell me what to do because I'm younger. You won't tell on me, will you?"

"Hither to the lion's nest; we the brave wonder." Azaireal eyes wonderer about aimlessly. "If it are true, and demons have a gate, They should prey I venture far from here... They would not have a pleasent welcome.."

"You refer to the 'vampire' I spoke of, I presume." Nailah hesitated. She wasn't sure how much Azaireal knew about Vincent. Or how much she should say. Oh well Aura could yell at her later. "Well I do believe this one should get a rather good welcome. After all he is involved with or courting is a better word, the mistress of the manor. That makes him important. They do seem like a rather large oxymoron. Light and dark." She paused. "What do you have against demons anyway?"

"Demons like to try to kill me almost every day, they stole my love from me, ruined my home, burned many forests, have a habbit of destroying everything, corrupting the innocent races, and have a mind for things unpleasent."
"There is a cure for vampirism."

Nailah sipped her wine and thought about his statement. "Well, the same things could be said about angels. But the way you say the words, it seems like being a vampire is an affliction rather than a state of being. How can you possibly change something like that? Vampire flows through his blood, it is who he is. What kind of cure could change all of that? And is it truly the best choice?"

"Vampirism is an affliction, it spreads as a disease from victum to victum. My dagger cures that kind of curse, or blessing." Azaireal shakes his head. "A true angel can cause no pain, it is against there nature."
Azaireal paused. "Am I a true angel if I destroy fiends, or am I only a part of a war that breeds hatred. Perhps angels have lost their way, and are now nothing more then demons. They grow weary on me. Perhpas these angels of which you speak, are only demons in sheeps cloth."
"Vampires live as a parasite, or do the ancient Cainbrood no longer walk, and some new kind walk that I am unaware." Azaireal places a hand on the hilt of a sword. "I spend more time destroying denizens of evil then breathing free air."

"So you're entire existence is to rid the mortal world of all the evil? And this dagger you speak of, would it not kill him. It would seem death is the only cure for vampirism. And that is not truly a cure at all. And if you did 'cure' him, would you risk breaking another's heart in the process? Love and hate are fickle things, yet almost exactly the same. They both can span centuries and breed among themselves."

"My dagger cannot kill. It is a gift from an Angel who's life was devoted to curing darkness... If I were to stab you with it, you would not feel pain, you would infact, regenerate."
"The cure for vampirism is not so different from the cure for the bubonic plague. Antibodies that fight off the infection, and restore life to the orgins. Would he remain the same, perhaps, if by nature he is a vampire. Should I cure him? Only if he wants to be cured. "
"My entire existance is not to rid the world of evil, I cannot destroy any innocent creatures, human, fey or otherwise. I am not the judge of these creatures, they strike against me first."
"It is the denizens who chose their fate."

"None of us are innocent. I myself have committed murder although it was not of my own free will. At least in a way. I'm curious though. Regenerate? From the very beginning? Would I be bale to to relive my life or would I simply become someone else? Although if the former is true and I did it in the place I am now I owuld no longer have my 'gift.' As for the angels, many humans feel they are snobbish, for lack of a better word. Personally they quite make me feel unworthy and I find I don't like the feeling very much. It also seems to me that angels profess to be great creatures yet so many problems seem to stem from these very 'great' creatures."

"Envy, why would you want to compair to an angel?"
"You would be who you are after the regeneration."
"Vampirism affects the mind. The nights who maintain theri hearts are the strongest who resist the anger of the disease."
"You hate angels because you are jealous. Abadon that hate, it will only make you suffer."
"You are consumed by much fear, you need not be afraid of me, I am my own, and there is no other like me."
"I begin to see that my kin are becoming little more than demons... I am saddened by this... To honour the creations, that is the angelic purpose..."

Nailah crossed her arms. "You have misunderstood me, my dear archangel. Jealousy is not the correct word or the correct emotion. And I do know emotions." She paused. "And my whole point was, would I retain my 'gift.' It was given to me under the circumstances all those years ago. If I regenerated and started at my birth, those circumstances would not apply. But then if I was regenerated and tossed back in time, then would not my life happen exactly as it has now? Perplexing questions." She paused for a moment. "And the last thing I would want to be is an angel. They ahve too much power and not enough modesty."

"For someone with no emotions, you should notice how much you hate." Azaireal walks towards Nailah. "Your regeneration would not alter time, you would stand here, and become cured of what ails you?"
"What is this 'gift' you speak of?"
