"Indeed..." Nelphean agrees with Eclipse.
"You have an Arcane Library?" His eyes widen... "Do you have a resident wizard, I could do that..." Nelphean winks at Aurahkah, "And maybe learn some better charms..." Nelphean laughs at himself. "I am glade you resist me... I have a habbit of not being... entirely... faithful..."
Encouragement to make his own lab, a library full of acana.... Nelphean suddenly felt somewhat useful. "Any othe wizards lurking in these shadows, as I?" Maybe one of these primitive sorcerors knows a cantrip Nelphean didn't know.
"Oh well, that's how the cookie crumbles..." Nelphean looked about th kitchen, at all the neat tools he had avalible... heat souces that wern't candles.... "No more gunpowder explosions from me... hehehe.... Oops, did I say that out loud?" Nelphean laughed at his fake slip.
"Once, to escape with a valuable shield, I used some gunpowder, a healing potion, a candle and a cherry to destroy an entire castle wall." Nelphean laughed, and upon further thought, decided that not drinking that healing potion was a good idea.

"You seem to have an obsession with this 'job' thing. Here's a hint, let it go. You'll find yourself to be more of a freeloader, friend, and family member than anything else. But wizards...not self proclaimed ones. We don't really throw around titles too much. Usually only when teasing each other." Resting her chin in her palm again she gave him another smile. "I'm a stubborn woman. It's easy for me to resist things if I at least put minimal effort into it." Leaning back in her chair she lifted the glass from the table, taking a long drink before resting the half empty again glass back down. "That's an awful lot of effort to simply steal. I never blew up anything in my life to get something."
"That's because you were mean as hell and anyone in their right mind knows not to cross a woman who had your disposition. And after I came along you had me to scare off anything that might of stood in your way." Eclipse fluffed his wings then shook out his fur and padded over to sit closer to Aurahkah, resting his head in her lap. "But you've peaked my interest now elf, what did the cherry have to do with it all?"

"It combined with the potion and the gunpower to act as a... catalyst for the incoming explosion..." He stopped his explination... How to explain evocation... "The cherry is blessed by the gods with certain magical properties, one of which casues explosions. Spell components usually make more sense, but I guess the cherry is out of place, normally mages use bat guano, or sulpher in the place of the cherry."
"I need something to do, in order to not womanize... I have this distinct addiction to the opposite sex that often leads to great troubles."
Nelphean stood, and through back his cape... His weapons seemed more apparent, as though some shadow was lifted from their presence. "I took up fencing, which helped... but... you know what they say about fencers... and farmers' daughters... and.. yeah... I am not supporting my case very well." Nelphean recovered the weapons, and sat back down.
"I am an elf of many talents. And I will be washing your windows over the next few days..."

"Uh huh...cherries have a slight evil tendency to them I see. Good thing I don't like cherries, it could be bad if you find yourself in a situation where someone wants one to make things explode." Eclipse swished his tail back and forth.
Aura laughed at the sudden outburst from the wolf within her mind. A flick to the ear had him apologizing as well. "There is just no stopping you it seems when it comes to the subject of women." She shook her head and looked down at Eclipse. "Hear that, we're getting those windows washed apparently."
Eclipse lifted his head and leaned it into her hand to take full advantage of the attention. "Well at least he will be occupied."

"Yes Eclipse, occupied..." Nelphean can't resist allowing himself to laugh slightly evily. "Cherries explode, Cheese Cake can be used to summon hound archons, twigs can be used to make lightning bolts, many things from every day life can be used to either destroy things or casue those things to simply disappear. Magic is often very violent."
"Hey look Cherries... If only I had a..." Nelphean laughed. "Well, I think I am going to go find this Arcana and study for a while." He stands up, and takes another very extravagent bow, and says in his melodic voice, "I will see you later."
Nelphean snaps his fingers, and disappears. The sound of his footsteps are herd as he walks towards the Library, he shouldn't be able to find.
((and exit: sleepy, sorry... too many big papers.... XP))

Eclipse fluffed his feathers, much like an angry bird and looked up to Aurahkah. "I don't like the way he talks to you. Nope. Not at all."
Aura laughed. "Of course you don't. It's in your nature to despise anyone who could possibly steal my affections from you."
"Can I help myself? It was just you and me for the longest time. Then Vincent comes along. And now some sweet talking elf. Now I know you're a loyal person, and don't pay any mind to Nelphean's bait, but still."
"Sweetheart, are you saying that you're jealous...of Vincent?"
"No! Not jealous...I don't need to be jealous."
She laughed again, fingers rubbing at the base of the wolf's ear. "Whatever you say Eclipse..."

A loud explosion rang out thought the manner. The very walls shaking from the sheer force. The vampire was laying in a pile of rubble in the middle of the smoke fulled hall. He mumbled a few curs words before pulling himself to his feet." damnit Arien, you ungrateful little..." his words were cut short as a fireball came screaming out of the rather large hole in the thick Stone wall he head made as he was expelled from his room. He quickly rolled to the side to avoid the flaming sphere. Once again he had found himself on his back surrounded in rubble with smoke clouding his senses. He had no time to pull himself to his feet before a hulking figure with bat like wings stumbled out of the darkness. Lurid flames dance over its skin. In one of its Massive clawed hands this creature bears a sword that looks sharp enough to cut even the soul, and in the other it bears a whip licked by tongs of flame.

The glass that was sitting on the table fell with the shaking, spilling its contents onto the table. Both Aura and Eclipse stood, casting a look to each other. "Well...that can't be good, now can it?"
Eclipse was already ahead of her, having retrieved one of the swords AUrahkah had earlier placed on the fireplace mantel and bringing it back to her. "Sounds like something more than your sais need to be used."
"Aren't you just helpful, let's go." Both leaving the kitchen, under guidence of the wolf's keen nose, they come across a not too comforting sight at all. Vampire on the floor, what looked like a fire demon in the hall.
"Well...that's new."

Vincent's head tilted back seeing Aura and her wolf rushing up the hall" oh great" he muttered rolling hard to the side to avoid the demons deadly blade. He kicked himself to his feet and jumped back quickly. The creature shouted something in some sort of infernal tung that sounded more like the crackling of flames then words. A smirk crawled on Vincent's lips as he stood ready for the creatures next attack. he moved like lightning as the creature slashed at him once again, his body becoming only a blur as he charged in under the blow, he lept up quickly flipping over the creatures back and raking his sharp claws along the demon's back. He hit the floor and slammed his heel into the back of the creatures knee trying to drop it, It was like kicking a brick wall. The beast's flaming whip snaked back wrapping around his ankle almost as if it had a mind of its own. It yanked him off his feet and dragged him into the air before it. A look crossed it face, one that could have been considered a smile as it whipped him to the side and threw the heavy oak door that barred the passage into Aurahkah's room

Aura's eyes widened and her jaw dropped as the door to her room was caved in using Vincent as a battering ram for the deed, then cringed at the resounding clatter from within the room. "Oh I know, that didn't just happen!" Taking up a defensive stance she raised her sword, which happened to be the Sun Blade Azaireal had left with her.
Eclipse stood off to the side and slightly behind Aurahkah. Both exchanging quick thoughts between themselves before he gave a bark and melted away. He reappeared right next to Vincent, pinned back ears as he looked to him. "What did you bring back this time?!"
"The vampire...the room...the wall...I think not. I think not at all." Done with one problem, and on to a new one it seemed around here. Sure she knew she probably couldn't take something like this, and that she was still slightly weak from loosing so much blood a while earlier. But hey, she could play bait and distraction if need be.

Vincent found himself lying on what used to be Aurahka's bed, He pulled himself form the mass of fluff and stood just as the wolf appeared next to him, He shot a glance back at the wolf and opened his mouth to say something but was cut short as the Demon 'walked' threw the hole it had made widening it substantially. From the darkness that was Vincent's room a creature watched aura. A malevolent force fulled the air around her as a voice called out in her head, just a single word" boo".
Vincent's eyes grew cold as they fell upon the beast"I'm done screwing around with you" With that Vincent flung his trench coat to the floor as he did this the balor let loose an earth shaking roar before charging the tiny vampire. As the balor charged Vincent ducked low and elbowed the demon in its scaly ribs, without stopping to take a breath Vincent tripped the monstrosity with a spin kick.

Aura tensed and stopped mid sentence, visibly shuddering. Oh she knew a voice in her head when she heard one. They were so distinct. Half of her said turn around and look for the source. The other half said don't move and hold that sword tighter. A thief's curiosity won out, and she turned to look, despite her instincts telling her not to.
Eclipse skidded a few feet away, not wanting to get caught up between the two, his ears lying flat from the creature's outcry. Worse thing would be to be crushed by said thing, the injury would transfer right to Aurahkah if it was bad enough.

Vincent stepped back to admire his handy work, a grin across his pale features, He dusted off his shoulder" Common now tiny, yeah thats right I know your little secret, and don't worry, I would be angry too." The balor managed to pull itself into a crouch its weapons now far form it it eyed the destruction that it had sewed for a weapon, Its fiery red eyes soon fell upon the shadow wolf that crouched in the corner. It's gargantuan scaly hand reached out grasping the wolf by its hen legs before beginning to rise.
She turned only to find two glowing ruby eyes starring at her from the darkness. The eyes seemed to glimmer with an insane hunger, with that she was lifted into the air and blown against the far wall with the force far beyond that of mortal men. There she spotted the creature/DIV> A skull so white it looks to have been bleached by the scorching flames of hell, its glowing ruby red eyes emitting evil so horrifying has sent satan himself into fits of terror. With an insane toothy grin made twice as horrifyingly the gleaming stones he uses teeth. The sense endless anguish fulls the air around it , and in his eyes you can see fates that have befalling victims; As her eyes met those of the floating skull wave upon wave of terror flooded in at her. Pressed flat against the wall she was forced to live her worst over and over in her mind. Again she heard that horrid voice in her mind, the voice spoke only these words"Know thy fate"
The Balor whirled around with a sweep of his mighty arm he used the wolf as a club against Vincent. Vincent was caught off guard to say the least as the wolf caught him in the side of the head sending him flying into the wall.

Eclipse invoked his own usage of shadow powers after the crushing blow he felt as he was slammed into the vampire, having been too caught of guard to do so when first snatched up, and melted from the creature's grasp. With a feral growl he leaped out of nowhere claws sinking themselves into it's back and fangs into it's shoulder.
She couldn't breath. Well she could but it felt like she couldn't. Eyes widened in what looked to be fear, Aura actually trembled with the emotion. It was too much. Her own mind's eye was betraying her with what she had long ago locked away in the recesses of her mind, hoping to never have to look at the memories ever again. And it wasn't just one she was seeing. It was many. And from the many that were there only the most horrid were presenting themselves in full view. She wanted to close her eyes. She wanted to move, to shake her head and make it stop. At her sides her hands gripping into fist, so hard her nails dug into her palms, leaving crescents of blood.

Reaching one scaly red arm he grasped the dog by the back, with a quick flick of his wrist he sent the wolf crashing into the floor boards. Pulling himself free of the concrete wall he stood and calmly walked toward the hulking beast. The Balor used an overhand swing to try to squish the vampire in one final blow. One hand came up catching the giant fist in mid swing, Vincent simply twisted until the scales tore,bones snapped, in one quick jerk he freed the arm form the socket and further began to beat the creature with its own limb. Intertwine one swing and the next Vincents eyes became black pits" Vincent stopped leaning in close to the bloodied creature, you had a sword, you had wood, you had furniture and yet you chose to hit me with a wolf!" He raised the limb giving the creature another good thump before continuing" What kind of idiot uses a wolf as a club" Yet again he rose the arm and clubbed the creature" It's seems so unethical" He tossed the bloodied limb aside before walking over and picking up the creatures sword, He swung the blade over his shoulder and turned back to the now unconscious demon" threes something I'm forgetting, something important" he shrugged it off and made his way over to the beast positioning the blade over the things heart. The razer sharp steal plunged deep into the mosters chest killing it. He left the blade in the creature before starting out of the room and back into the hall. The floating skull made it's exit down the hall, blasting away entire doorfraims with a single thought. Tho the creature had left the last of her images seemed forever burned into her mid along with the words" Know thy fate"
