The Vampire Hunter

[Slance]

Lucan droped the ring and looked up as if he was a cat sniffing he didn't evennotice the ring on the ground but he felt an other elf.... a pure elf not like him Lucan sensed the elf go in to the tavern he had just left but he couldn't sense any thing else no just that it was an elf Lucan decided he could check this out and... he also needed some food before he left. So Lucan headed towards the tavern.

As I walk fords the two me one disappears and the other the hunter drops something as he looks up sniffing. My eye’s catch the glint of a ring I sense power coming form it. I smile and instead of letting the hunter now of me I fade back in to the shadows and I watch as he starts towards a tavern. I rush forward faster then a normal human could possibly follow. I grab up the ring and agene I fade in to the shadows putting the ring in to my pocket as I watch the only one who could be a challenge to me taking this town for my self. I look over at the tavern that he was looking at. I open my senses trying to sense what had attracted he’s attention away form this ring. I put my hand in my pocket feeling the ring trying to sense whot the power that it holds can do.

I move to the back of the tavern going throw the kitchens like a shadow. I move in to the cumin room. I look around the room deciding where the best sit would be. I move to the bar sins I still hand the human toned skin and the warmth. I order a drink even thaw I can’t drink it. I won’t attract as much attention if I have something in front of me. I look around me. I keep my senses on the door waiting for the hunter to com in.

 

[Slance]

OOC: just a note i said it looked like im sniffing you know my head is twitching and stuf doesn't matter much just wanted to tell you.

IC:I walk in to the tavern looking around from out of my cloak I slide in to a seat and sense some thing but lose it almost at once I wait for the other elf to come in.

 

[poohlive]

The door slammed shut. It brought up a small whiff of dust. The tavern's room upstairs didn't look like it had been used in over a month. Even the sheets were moth eaten. This was a perfect place to start though.
A sack was lain on the bed. Instruments came out, things that he had all would need to be planned. He quickly fished in his pocket for the ring.
The ring...
Had it begun already?
The small crystal came out from under his cloak. It was placed inside a tiny cauldron. With a wave of his hand green flames emerged from the black pot.
"Where are you now, my pet?"
The ring showed him. A vampire, a strong one too. Massive black features, and sitting in a pub of some sort. He was waiting. For whom? It was too hazy to see, but he was waiting.
Shivers went down his spine. Yes, he was beginning to feel the vampire's strength go through him. It was starting already.
He grabbed a small pouch filled with a fine white powder. Spreading it over the flames, he called for the great enchantment from so long ago. It had been centuries since he spoke these incantations.
He still knew every syllable.
The ring seemed to glow with power, giving it's wearer heightened senses of every kind, including mental abilities. Things even the gift of a vampire can't give you. It had it's drawbacks though, the wearer isn't aware that every single moment he's there, watching, waiting. Just a pair of eyes behind him, all the time.
The ring seems to hum on his finger, giving a great feeling to the wearer. It feels good to keep the ring on. The ring is fine where it is. It seemed to complete the wearer.
That was the gift, and the curse of the ring.
The cloaked figure remoaved the cloak, sending his fiery red eyes deeper into the fire. He wanted to keep this one for a long time.
A very long time.

Dawnfire

OOC: Just a note even though Dawnfire is half elve she is also half gryphon That gives her some feline features:-*

IC: She was being watched and followed, she knew it. Surrounded by the smells of hot food she soon waved over one of the serving wenches and unbuttoning her cloak removed her hood and draped the cloak over her chair. Her silver hair gleamed in the firelight of the tavern as she shook it out, throwing it over her shoulder. One of the Ogre's in the corner approached her but at the warning glance he recieved from her amethyst gaze he decided to hold back. When the wench returned with her mead she thanked her ordering food and relaxed back in her chair resting her feet on the chair in front of her. She felt the Elve nearby, felt his eyes on her and felt his surprise when she removed her cloak. She smiled a bit to herself thinking that whoever he was, she didn't reconize his sense or his smell. She kept her ears under her hair knowing that even though the elvin shape would be accepted the feline tuft of hair at the tips might be questioned. She sighed to herself and drank deeply from her cup, it had been a long time since she had company in her travels and she was lonely....perhaps the one watching her would introduce himself. Without warning she sensed something dark probing at her shields and immediately straightened opening her senses and tryinig to figure out who it was. A darkly cloaked figure in the far corner caught her eye and a low growl began in her throat. She didn't like the look of that one.......making a quick judgement she decided to appear to ignore him for now and leaned back again. "No point in looking like a kitten" she thought to herself. But who was the other she sensed........

 

[Slance]

Lucan gasped slightly when he relised she was a female he burried his head in his arms blushing thinking. "She probly thinks I'm a pervert staring at her like that." He then felt some thing she wasn't pure but she was power full it was some thing differen. Lucan decided to talk to her and tell her why he was watching he ralthough against his better jugment he thought hed probly make a fool of him self. Lucan walked up and bowed low his hand in front of his stomic as he came up he said. "I just wanted to introduce my self Lucan Ivellioss you might have seen me watching you back there it's because I sensed you were well..... a elf or well im half." Lucan says pulling back his hood revealing two sightly pointed ears. " If it is not rude to ask I was wodering are you half or pure?"

" If it is not rude to ask I was wodering are you half or pure?"

I smile as the hunter walks in to the tavern staring at the girl. I tilt my heed as I realize that she is not a per elf I see the feline fetchers. As I watch the hunter walk over to her I feel a faint tingling coming form my finger.

I lift my hand up looking at it. I raze my eye brow as I see that the ring has some how slept on to my finger. I feel a pleasant tingling runn up my arm. I look around my eyes going a little wider as I begin to see even clearer then before and my herring increases. Before I could hear the light foot step of a mouse in another room now I can hear that same thing in the next bilding. My smell increases just as much as my hearing and site.I consintrate on not letting the hitnd senses over welm me.

I then realize that I’m picking up the thots of pepal around me. I grimace at the new powers as I try to bring it under control so as not to be overwhelmed. I move to a dark corner to keep from drawing attention to my self as I consintrat on controling the new powers.

I focus my herring in on elves so I can catch every ward that they say. I look at the ring as I lesson to them. I think what kindle of ring is these, I smile knowing that I would not give it up with out a fight. The plesher running up my arm and throw my body not quite as good as drinking blood but it is close.

 

[poohlive]

Good. He was trying ton control them. That was very good, it always helped when someone of great power took posession of the ring. Without a sense of control, their minds soon become lost. Able to do nothing more than drool and look at the sun.
The vampiress were able to control it better, that was the work of the ring. It allied the darker forces, but even then power must exist. This one had power, lots of it.
Much potential for the future. The figure took a glance at the crystal. It was clear, except for the bottom. Already filling up, yes, this would be a very good day indeed.
What was this vampire interested in? Inside the green fire, the crystal's energies were already working nicely. till, he always did have curiousity for the finders of the ring. The ring in truth had a mind of it's own. It may be his servant, but it still had it's own will.
Soon, he was shuffling through his bag once more, picking out a small amount of thread. This he wrapped around his head, letting his mind open up.
There he was, the man slowly petting the ring. Feeling it already become a part of him. Perfect, let them both bond.
He was overhearing a conversation between elves. Nothing considerably important. The vampire seemed interested in them though. Fine, let him be interested.
He removed the thread from around his head, placing it at the bedside. Then, he got down on his knees, watching the fire grow excitedly.
There was more to come.

"I just wanted to introduce my self Lucan Ivellioss you might have seen me watching you back there it's because I sensed you were well..... a elf or well im half." Lucan says pulling back his hood revealing two sightly pointed ears and the top of some golden hair that runs down in side his cloak. " If it is not rude to ask I was wodering are you half or pure?"

She looked up at the introduction that had just been presented to her and warm sensual smile curved her generous lips and her eyes warmed slightly......"I am Dawnfire K'Sheyna, please join me Lucan." She had a mild purr to her tone that warmed her voice and gave it almost a hypnotic quality. She waited for him to get his ale and be seated then again smiling replied to his second question. "Half........I am half Elve," She paused gentlypushing her hair back behind one ear long enough for him to see the feline points and tufts, "Half Gryphon....But the explanation behind that is best saved for another time." SHe finished her mead and signaled the waitress for another one. "So, You sensed me as well did you?" Her eyes turned to meet his and she grinned slightly at his reaction to her amethyst eye color. His own eyes were the most beautiful she had seen in many a golden year and it had been many moons since she had been near one of her own kind. "What are you doing so far from your home warrior?".

 

[Slance]

When she asid saved for an other time he said. 'Well it is good not to give all information away." ANd he thought about the fact that normaly he wouldn't had gaven his name and exacialy that he was half elf. He came back with the ale and as she looked at him and said. "What are you doing so far from your home warrior?". He replied solamly another thing that he wouldn't tell to a stranger. "I'm an lone ranger... I have no home I wander for ever more." He looked back and gazed in to her buetyfull eyes and said. "I am also a....." He knew he shouldn't tell her but he felt like he knew her all his life. "I'm also a... vampire hunter I was born with the powers to do so."

 

[Firegirl976]

Dawnfire

Her eyes widened slightly at his admission........a vampire hunter? Well, well ,well....she thought to herself. "I too wander alone...." a sadness came into her eyes and with it an anger. "My kind were not welcome among my people, but because of who I was I was banished rather than killed." She paused a moment touching his mind lightly, "What of your woman?.... What has brought you here Lucan, who or what are you hunting now?" As she finished her questions the food arrived and noticing that he seemed as hungry as she, she cut portions for both of them serving his first then her own. SHe bit into the delicate peacock smothered in a honey glaze as she awaited his answer grinning as his eyes rolled back in his head as he tok his own bite.

 

[Slance]

After rolling his eyes in delight of the food he said in a wisper. 'Thamk you for it I will give you the gold for it as for the woman you have noticed her too have you?" He said not waitng for a answer. "Well I said I was gaven the powers does not mean I use them I only defend my self... and others if they are attacted and she seems to be hunting me thats why I was heading..." He relised he has been saying a little too much he stood up and haded her some gold and then siad bowing low. "Now if I may take your leave my good lady I need to be going."

I smile as I lesson to the two elves talking. I smile saying to my self thake you so much for telling me all about your selfs. I eye the wench bringing them there food she’ll make a nice bed time snack. I smile evilly as I move back to the kitchen doors and as the girl comas back form giving the elves there food. I catch her eyes and itransing her say com with me. She nods her hed slowly fallowing me out the back. Once out in the ally I push her up ageist the wall kissing her deeply before making my way to her throat. I bite in to her neck sucking deeply sending ecstasy throw use both. I step back letting her body culaps to the ground limp and lifeless. I close my eye’s sending a mental message to the hunter. You are not much of a hunter I was standing in the same room as you and you didn’t even now I was there I even took you water. Com and hunt me if you dear other wise get out of my town. That sed I tern in to a raven and I fly up in to the dark sky.

I land in front of an old manner house that I all ready tuck control of for my home. I walk in and several of my newly made slaves’ com rushing to me I smile looking down on them at them. I say how are my pets dewing they bow to me saying in meek voices fine my lord. I pat there heeds as I walk past them in to the den. I sit looking in to the fire place waiting for the dawn to com.

She looked up at him in surprise as he suddenly stood, throwing some money on the table and excused himself. She stood holding out her arm, smiling genuinely as he gripped it in a sign of friendship. "If you ever have need of anything warrior, be it in combat or for simple companionship on the road you have only to think of me and I will come." When he pulled his hand away she placed a small silver feather in his palm, it was intricately made and felt weighted, the feather was surrounded by what appeared to be a wall of flame. "This is the symbol of my people, it will help you get through many areas as well as with trade..." She paused a moment a sadness coming into her eyes now "Is there nothing to perhaps change your mind? Perhaps we could travel together as we are both alone?" She held her breath for his answer.....she was tired of being alone and one of her own kind would be a gift from the goddess.

 

[Slance]

should I?

His eyes lit up at the fether thing it was buetyfull quite like the person who gave it to him as she asked if she could come he was qute surprised he wasn't knowen to make friends but she was different... he thought for a moment thinking if it was safe to bring her alnog on the road with him his life seemed to lead... how shall I put it dangers? But never the less he agread quite quickly saying. "I'd would be glad if you traveld with me but... I do warn you..." at that moment he stoped and his face went rigid and his head twitched slightly and he fell to the floor twitching and his face set in a look of pain and fear he was feeling the newest victoms pain.
OOC: I'll do the rest im just leaving it there right now because she might help him or sumthing.

 

[Firegirl976]

Dawnfire

OOC: DAmmit don't you hate it when you post a pages worth and it doesn't show up.......AAARRRRRUUUGH!

IC: "LUCAN!!", She stood quickly as he fell to the ground and shielded them both against any further attack. She bent over hefting him up on her shoulder and walking quickly towards the door, midstride she flung out her arm hand outstretched and the door flew open banging loudly against the wall outside the tavern. She used her power to strengthen her as she ran full tilt towards the forrest and kept going through brush and tree alike until she reached an area she deemed safe. She gently set him down on the ground and both magically and physically ran her "Hands" over him to check for injury. She dove into his mage channels and saw the problem, using her "hands" she reached out with her power calming the energies flowing through his magical and mental channels, which in turn eased his pysical impairment. She then relaxed and went to gather firewood covering him with her cloak before she left. He's just got to be ok, she told herself as she gathered wood. When she came back she saw that he was still out and quickly made and started the fire placing a strong shield of magic around him and settled his head in her lap gently stroking his brow waiting for him to wake up............

 

[Slance]

When he was out all he could hear and see and feel were the pain but it advanturally got better when he groggly opend his eyes he felt some thing stroking his brow he could only see blured trees and bushes and a fire he tried to mov ehis head but he heard soem one telling him. "Don't it will only heart." It was soothing voice he waited a while before he did lift his head and when he did he slowly got up looking around to see who's lap he had been laying on and saw the lady Dawnfire hs face turned red then he heard agin in his memory the challange from the vampire and he says to her looking as if he doesn't wanna say it. "I'm sorry but you have to go I can't have you around me."

 

[Firegirl976]

Dawnfire

OOC: Poohlive where are you??

IC: "I'm sorry but you have to go I can't have you around me."

She looked down at him watching him wince in pain even as he spoke to her. She raised her hands slightly a violet glow surrounding them and gently pressed them to his temples. SHe closed her eyes in concentration and silently focused on the cause of the pain, finally relaxing when she felt the tension ease from his body. She opened her eyes to see him staring into them a look of what she assumed was surprise on his face. She smiled down at him...."I will not leave you warrior, you need someone watching your back as I do." She lost some of her smile as some of the chaos she had taken from him sorted itself in her mind. "What are you afraid of?"

 

[Slance]

"I will not leave you warrior, you need someone watching your back as I do." He felt very releaved he did not want her to go but he did not want to see her get hurt and he said. "Please use Lucan and... as I've told you I leave a adventfull life and I do not wish to see you get hurt." HE quickly added. "Although you can take care of your self read my mind." He said clearly making the vhallenge ring in his head.

 

[poohlive]

Ooc: Honestly, I'm wondering what to do next. I didn't really have a plan for my character, except to stir up some trouble, but I suppose I'll have to make one now.



Rooftop to rooftop the dark cloak seemed to flutter to life under him. Almost like wings, his lithe body working each and every muscle to it's full extent. Despite the chaos running around him, the hood of his cloak perfectly sealed his face. No light could pierce it.
Honestly, it made one think if there were truly a face under there.
Pausing for a second, he stepped off towards the ground. Brushing the dust from his boots, the man entered the shop.
This one boasted the same premise, things from afar. He did not want anything special this time, just some basic ingrediants.
It was still night deep within the city, and less questions would be asked.
Less answers as well.
The walls were filled with shelves, assortments of different herbs and ingrediants, everything from common witch weed to dragon scale. Dragon scale cost a bit more than the witch weed, and always smelled faintly of burnt hair.
Some misquito wings, a bag of firey carnal plant, two cups of boiled goose fat, and a unicorn's horn. It needed to be shaved, but he could do that later.
Dropping more than enough coins, he left the place. No words spoken between him and shopkeeper, and, after a few minutes the shopkeeper has to think hard to remember if the man had come in or if it was his imagination.
The money was real enough though.
Outside, the cloaked figure pocketed his purchases. Mentally, he checked the ring, it was still on the vampire, and still doingit's job. Not too far from here to be exact. He nodded, reassuring himself.
The first part was nearly complete, and with the new spell from these items, the second would be underway soon.
With a simple jump, the cloak vanished against the dark night's sky.

OOC: Typo thats *chalange*

OOC: Actually it's challenge

IC: . "Although you can take care of your self read my mind." He said clearly making the vhallenge ring in his head.

She closed her eyes and focused on him, gently penetrating into his mind to see/hear his thoughts.
" You are not much of a hunter. I was standing in the same room as you and you didn’t even now I was there, I even took you water. Come and hunt me if you dare other wise get out of my town!"

She relaxed again and looked deeply into his eyes, he wasn't scared at all but he was worried. She smiled and rolling up her cloak gently eased his head down onto it. She walked over to where she had placed her bag and started digging through it. Then she walked back over to him placing the canteen at his mouth. "Drink some water you'll need it." When he was done she set it down and helping him sit up and lean against a nearby tree she looked at him as she made herslef comfortable. "Have you ever heard of a very powerful queen in elvin society named Elspeth?"

 

[Slance]

"Have you ever heard of a very powerful queen in elvin society named Elspeth?" He said rather stiffly. "I lived in the forest since I was 12 with my ranger master I only came out 3 years ago I knew nothing of Elven society... or human for tat matter and I didnt want to know any thing." He then added. "THough I have heard of the name a magic queen right?"

 

[Firegirl976]

Dawnfire

IC: "Yes she is..." She is one of the most powerful and beautiful women in any culture. She is said to be so beautiful in fact that the Skanderon the Great White Gryphon is said to have fallen in love with her." She paused a moment a sadness once again taking over her eyes turning them to a deep violet instead of their usual bright amethyst......."I used to be very involved in Elvin society, but I am no longer interested in that life style, it is better out here...amidst the animals and nature." She leaned over and gently ran a hand over the petals of a nearby ladies slipper, smiling a bit as a spider ran out and up her arm.....she set it down gently on the ground and went back over to Lucan. "If you do not want my company warrior I will leave, but as far as danger is concerned Io have found nothing in many cycles that could frighten me.....or that I could not conquer, perhaps we would be good for each other?"
