Terra almost felt a little giddy there! She always liked it when people had to kneel down to talk to her! Made her feel powerful!

That was a hard question to answer though! She knew what he was selling but explaining it was hard when you weren't so sure yourself!

" Uh...mwagic stuff! Old stuff...weird mwagic dwrinks! He don't need help! "

She exclaimed, looking back at her dad who finally caught up to them. His face red out of exhaustion. Taking a deep breath he just sat the huge bag down.

" I'm so sorry...she just really wants to help..."

The child was just delighted! Chuckling there almost menacingly. Terra was quite the schemer after all!

Nimat smiled, ruffling his daughter's hair before he opened the bag. It must have been a magical relic too seeing how a sales stand actually emerged from it.

Soon being all set up and presenting various strange trinkets! From potions and ingredients to strange objects, such as glowing orbs and sealed boxes with symbols on them.

" Take a look around then. There's no need to rush. We're gonna set up camp here anyway. "

Cherry smiled and placed her hands onto her hips as she listens to Seren, she takes the box and hides it into her feathers before nodding. "Oh you got it boss!" She said happily before turning to head over to the kitchen right away.

To say Runir wasn't ready for that would be true but his body was, it moved on instinct. Reaching out and quickly grabbing her to stop her from stopping the floor too hard, he blinked and smiled as he helped her up right. "It's quite fine, it was my fault. I was rush and wasn't planning enough attention. Are you alright?"

Alice blinks as she let Mitsuki place the flower before smiling happily. Gol was quite happy for the gift while Vol was just too busy napping. "Star-bond?" Alice asked. "What is that?"

"Boss?" Seren hummed a little, before letting out a chuckle. "Just call me Seren or serenity." They'd shake their head, but headed outside to check on some other things they'd need, noticing Mitsuki and Alice.

With Runir's hand around her, Mia would let out a loud 'eep' even one louder, than when she was falling as she'd continue to fluster completely. "I-I'm fine- B-but, not its on me. I - I am just trying to do what i was asked to take care of by Lady Mitsuki and Lord Seren."

Mitsuki blinked a little, before tilting her head. "Wait, Dérin didn't tell you? Well it's a day for us seers where we take care of our friends and loved ones. Giving them gifts and well showing our feelings for them."

Seren, who had been listening to the side, would step over, smiling. "Exactly. It was a day for lovers mostly during the old days."

Odahviing looked at to their hands, opening and closing his hand around hers. He wasn’t sure of why but he kinda liked it?

He hums and nodded. “Then I will, until you say you don’t want it.” He said calmly back and went back to resting his head on top of hers gently.

"Good." Seleine hummed. Just leaning against him, enjoying the moment and silence, until the knight itself would see what was going on from the side, gasping as it would rush to its lady's side.

"Ahh, you fiend! Going for my lady!" The doll would shout, while drawing its wooden sword, as it goes to tap at his foot with it. Seleine would shift her gaze slightly, smiling in amusement.

Tirank smiled slightly at his words and nodded before looking around the courtyard, it was lovely… And she guessed the woman with her saint was this Amarantha, who looked over to Seren and the new comer. Cherry landed onto Seren’s shoulder calmly.

Amarantha looked over Minu to Seren and raised an eyebrow at him and gave a look like yeah I knew . "Well seems like your teacher is here so we should show her around, and I am sure Runir will want to see you right away Seren.” She said calmly as she stood up.

Alice smiles at Dérin freewill about this and she looks over to Mia to smile at her as well, since Mia’s side will keep them from going hungry or anything else. “AS long as we all stay together, it will all work out.”

Serena reached over to gently pat her hair, she wanted to say something on her own stuff but the story she needed to tell would over shadow it a bit…. She took a deep breath and smiled at her. “Alright then… You know that me and the vampires from my family are a bit different from others yes? Well this will explain that, far. Far back, before the empire my family was human. Where the dragon cult was normal and so was the cult to the dark gods, it wasn’t that weird or even wrong to hear about. Unless it was a really bad one to be fine, my family was one of them. Molag Bal was the dark god…we… How much have you read about him?”

Seren gently placed Tirank down, but held her luggage in the air, having it levitate behind them. "Yes, we took quite quick flight here, but showing her to her room and helping her set up would be good. After possibly showing the castle as well." Seren smiled, ignoring the fact that, runir might indeed be looking or waiting on them, but before that, they'd meet amarantha's gaze once more, going 'If you knew, why not tell me? Why cause such a mess? WHY?!' with the looks on their face.

Minu, who used her make shift wheel chair, made her way over to Tirank, nodding for her to follow. "Uh, we can leave them for a moment i g-guess."

Mia's frown turned up slightly, as she nodded. Indeed, she should see the good of things like the other two, and so they continued onward in their path.

Mitsuki had expected that. Having been reading about skyrim and their people, it didn't come off as surprise, but she had thought it to be a sort of 'clan' or 'family' thing between vampires, that not all were or are just as strong. "A dark god? Hm, i think i've read of them, yes. Wasn't he some sort of enslaver and such?"

Despite how lamias were seen back home, the people here had been so friendly that Seraphaura was feeling a confidence in making allies with her new neighbors.

“I can’t wait to meet everyone.” she replied then laughed nervously, “I’m sure maybe we could encourage them to help. Especially if it is someone new to the area perhaps? M-Maybe I could persuade them to help me!”

"More than likely. I doubt there could be anyone here who could resist your smile." Silvy teased, before tapping her on the back a few more times. "Tell you what, i'll take you by the shopping district and you can choose what we'll eat tonight. I'll be treating you to the meal, since you did get through it and hired."

Orabella gasped at the tails surrounding her, her grey eyes widening before closing from the bright light. Finally it seemed the beast had disappeared, at least for now. Orabella collapsed to her knees once the barrier fell and the book fell along with it to the ground.

She held her head a little before peering up at the large fox. "What...What was that? What is that?" she asked, "Did you...save me?" She gave a glance at the demonic book with a grimace. "And how should we deal with that?"

The fox looked over Orabella, sitting down, with its tails slowly falling onto the ground as well. "That was an ancient demon, that used to be sealed away within that summoning book along me and many others." The fox explained. "And yes, you could say i did, at the least for the moment. I did not kill him, since i have not the power, but he has faded somewhere into the darkness to recolled himself. More than likely thinking of a plan to free his brethren from the other liblaries." The fox mused before stretching out a little, its eyes turning to gaze over by Orabella.

"There many not be any way to kill it, so sealing it away is possibly your only option, yet, from what i can tell now, you may not have the spell for such things nor are you a dwarf, much too tall." The fox mused.

Dev slowly kneeled by Oraballe, making sure she wasn't harmed anywhere. "You ok? Sorry i wasn't able to intervene or help you."

"It's...something required...since that incident long ago." She replied, glancing over at the drip for a few before turning her head to the side, her sight turned over at Altius. He noticed, being a sign of him to give further explanation along trying not to bring up further details involving some events she experienced, which he complied without question.

"Well you see, Rei suffers from severe blood loss back then and she is required to take daily blood transfusions as a way to prevent her to go into bloodlust frenzy. This blood right here is a primary requirement for her to take due to her mixed heritage, in which no other kind except her relatives have." The male raven then points at the blood pack, looking at the azure coloration, being a whole different kind belonging to one kind alone. "We only have one and only source via connections since we want to ensure her condition is stable."

"An incident?" Dé asked, his eyes darting between the two, as he wasn't sure which one would inform him further on this. Leaning back though, once he knew that Atius would be the one to talk, he'd just listen in.

He would end up tilting his head though, pondering about something. "So, in a way, if she were to make a pact with me, i might in one way or form be able to subdue that bloodlust within her with my magical properties and abilities. I am after all just a walking, talking magical blades. With the blades being my proper and true form." Though he hadn't had a 'master' or an owner for quite some time, he wondered if she'd actually even be up for it.

Tirank smiled and nodded. "I see! How well behaved for a raven.” She said happily as she looked to the blue palace, she could kinda see where Minu and someone else were now.

Amarantha nodded before reaching out to pat her head gently. “Well I guess this new teacher will be helping you then.” She asked before looking up as she noticed Seren and the new guest.

Alice smiles and nodded. “That’s good, though to be honest we could get lost and it wouldn’t matter much in the end. After all we are traveling for a while and the where doesn’t matter much too.” She said happily with a hum.

Serena looks to the wall, where what looked to be a painter used to hang there. “No…I don’t, I want to change things about then. I wished I could my father was a monster sooner, I wished I could stand against my mother a bit more… But all in the end I am here now, Runir has helped me so much and now there is a weird but a peace between vampires and humans here at least.”

She had a soft smile on her face as she thought it over, she took a breath before turning to look at her with a slight frown. “I…have things to tell you, they are not easy things to hear though but you need to know if…you want to be closer to me.”

"She is the best." Seren remarked, before finally carefully and slowly landing by the courtyard. Their eyes had also been towards Amarantha's and Minu's direction, and while Seren kept their usual calm and some what happy tone, Amarantha and Minu could feel the stare and how it held some anger in it.

Minu gazed out towards the window as well, holding onto her cup as she nodded, smiling weakly. "I'm a bit sad that, the timing had to be a bit bad, with Runir being as he is and ... well i can only expect things from fear from Seren's side." a shiver ran down by her back.

Dérin nodded. "Exactly! We'll just go as we go and if we find ourselves somewhere where we first didn't expect, we'll just continue from there." She'd laugh whole heartedly, but Mia seemed a bit more stern and serious about this. "I-I'll still try to keep myself on track at the very least."

Mitsuki nodded, smiling weakly. "I-I can get that. I too wish i could have done some things differently. Had i been strong i could have saved the people i cared for... Would i have shown more potential or leadership, i couldn't have been manipulated as i was." Yet unlike how serena had runir, she sadly didn't have anyone, not until much later.

Though her sudden shift in expression and tone surprised her, her cheeks flustered slightly. She grasped by the bed sheet, before nodding her head. "I'll listen and i won't run away, not from you." With a determined look on her face she was prepared to hear her out.

"This is how I have slept for years, I dont like futons so I wasn't going to use it anyways. So just quiet down and go to sleep already..." She said with a huff, she leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes.

Kei always did this, sitting the middle of the room in a chair was easier to protect herself and attack if needed.

Ruka huffed slightly, but decided to try and not push it, laying down by the futon herself, before looking out towards the window. ". . . Thanks still though Kei, for coming to my help there." She murmured, before falling a sleep.

Cherry had nodded before nuzzling Seren slightly, she was excited to help out with this plan. She wonders if she should try to get into her human form for this, will better to try and then not. She flew off his shoulder and changed forms, she was smaller than before. Like a 11 year older, her feathers forms a dress and her hair. She shakes out a few small feathers before turning to Seren with a big smile, she was all ready to help.

Runir headed down to the kitchen to get started on first thing, he had planned for Minu happily.

Alice opened her eyes and looked over to her before smiling. "Hey, and sometimes. It's easier for me to do my breathing lessons now than at other times.

Seren had seen this for form a few times, so it wasn't anything unexpected, though she did seem young, they knew her to be helpful even in this form. Seren would kneel down, to get onto her height, smiling as widely as her, as he gave her a small jewelry box. "I'll first of all need you to hold onto this and if possible, can you go ask the kitchen to begin preparing the 'special' i had asked for."

Mia who was working in the kitchen, would open the kitchen doors, as she was about to go and head out to place some plates, only to accidentally pump into Runir, with the maid falling down. Thankfully she held onto all of the plates and nothing shattered, but she could only blink upon seeing the king. "K-King runir?! I-I'm so sorry i..uh.. wasn't watching where i was going."

Mitsuki would nod her head, though it would also explain how she had heard some things during the other mornings. "I-I see. Oh, but happy Star-bond festival." she reached out into the basket she had with her, taking out one of the flowers and placing it by alice's hair. Turning to the dragons after, wondering if she should also give them one.

Odahviing hums and looks up for a moment to the stone ceiling before shrugging. “I’m strong enough to take it.” He answered her easily before he listens to her once more.

He looked to her hand and opened his, look at the different of their hands. His were so large and rough, his nails were long and dark red to his dragon side. “If you wish it then I would stay.”

"That's... Not quite what i meant." Seleine sighed once more, but her mood seemed to have calmed down, even if slightly. The different in their hands was clear. Her hands were small, well taken care of, yet they seemed frail, like small trancesi compared to his.

Seleine, awaited for his answer, before slowly closed her eyes and nodded her head. "Yes, i want you to stay with me right now. Even if only for a moment." She murmured.

Amarantha stayed asleep when they left the bed, though Cherry woke up and went to sit on Seren's shoulder. Tilting her head in wonder of they plan was.

Runir woke earlier then normal as well, leaving his and Minu's bed to go get a few things himself. Though he wasn't sure on it since he wasn't if Minu's people had such a thing but still he wanted her to be a part of it too.

Alice had been awake before anyone though, she was out with the dragons training with no idea to anything. Even Serena was kinda in the dark for once, her vampires were into this so they kept their mouths shut for everyone.

Seren would have tensed up upon feeling Cherryl on their shoulder. Looking over by her, they'd 'shhh' a little. "We need to make sure today goes without any issues. It's a big day and i will need your help." Seren smiled, before petting Cherryl a little.

Minu, did notice runir getting out of bed, though she stayed huddled under all of the different blankets. She wasn't sure what for he had gotten up or how early it even was, but perhaps he had a meeting or something? "Mh.." she mused a little, before just shifting her side, as she'd continue falling back to sleep.

Mitsuki had been outside collecting flowers for her surprise, would end up passing by them, while on her way back to the room given to her.

She would as before, when going out, greet the dragons, but upon realizing alice was there was well, she'd halt herself, looking surprised, before turning to her. "H-Huh Alice?" she'd question. "You're ... awake at this time?" Was she perhaps planning something as well? Or perhaps she knew that Dérin had something planned and couldn't sleep cause of it?

Tirank smiled back and looked at the buildings coming into view, it was so different from what she was used too… From the books Runir had left for them before so she a little on how the world changed but this is the first time seeing it.

Amarantha blinks at the news, she wasn’t sure on how to feel on that. but she did smile a bit. "I see… I guess this is good news but should be quiet on then.” She said as she sat down, Cherry looks up fromt he roof of the palace and notices Seren was coming soon so she flew up and met him half way. Tirank was shocked by the raven but some noticed how it flew around them. “Is…this a pet of someone you know?”

“Lets stay near the mountains, easy to hide and camp out.” Alice thought out loud. “Yeah, I think that will work pretty well.” She said as she finished up.

Serena looked over all of the old things she used to in her free time, art… Sewing, music. So much but she couldn’t remember if she enjoyed it. “Yes, pretty much all of my life. When we were human and now, we won’t like high nobles. I think we were like cousins of like real royals but I dont really know.” She said with a shrug as she looks over to Mitsuki and went to sit by her.

"This will be your home for a little while." Seren responded, but decided to let her take the sights in as they began slowing down, even more as Cherryl flew over, more to match her speed.

Upon Tirank asking about Cherryl, Seren would nod their head, with a small smile. "Yes, they are Cherryl, the companion of my beloved fiance who you shall soon meet as well."

Minu nodded her head. "I-I am aware, but i did want to inform you most of all, before telling anyone else." She did notice the hints uneasiness in the air though between them, even behind the smile.

Dérin nodded and picked up the bags onto her back, letting Mia rest herself as they began continuing, but with the path laid out for them, Mia did take out a map and compass to make sure they were following the mountain side then. "We should be going the right way."

Mitsuki listened in, nodding her head, as she'd smile a little. "That, must have been really long time ago then, but to think that you were human then. Huh.. Uhm, this may sound weird, but do you wish to go back to those days?" she asked, looking into Serena's eyes upon her sitting down next to her."

Kei continued to walk without a reply but she stayed in view for Ruka so she couldn't get lost, though there was much of a worry since mother was no longer around. Once there Kei opens the door and walks in, there was a chair in the middle of the room with the futon a few steps to the right of it.

She walked to the chair and sat down, setting her fans in her lap. "Go ahead and sleep now."

Ruka looked over the room for a moment, before taking in the sight that, there indeed was only a futon. Her thoughts wandered at first, her heart beating fast, only to be told to go to sleep?

"But, wait, you're not planning on sleeping in the chair then.. are you? I mean, we could just go and ask for another futon, no? Or perhaps i just sleep by the floor, since i did insist on this. I don't mind! I'm used to sleeping in ever weird places."

Odahviing knew that going near Seleine now was a risk and that no one else would, but somehow he knew that she wouldn’t hurt him. Though probably only because it would upset Alice…right? He let her move his arms and blinked at her words. “But you know I was here so I didnt really sneak up.” He also noticed how her tone sounded now and the air wasn’t as charged. “Do you feel better now?” He asked tilting his head off to the side.

Seleine would let out a loud sigh. How right he was sadly, about her having been aware of him. A straight foward and honest response as always. Something she both adored, but hated about him. But, little did he know, that it wasn't the reason, why she wouldn't harm him, not that she'd ever explain herself to him though.

"That maybe so. Maybe i did know it was you, but what if my thoughts had been wandering? What if i had struck at you, hm?" she scoffed, but continued leaning into him, her hand pressing against his slightly, as she'd sigh, looking down towards the stone floor.

"If, i say yes, will you stay with me for a bit longer, as i may actually wish for your company for a bit longer. "

Alice reached down to pet the top of the knight’s head. “Good, I will leave it to you then.” Though it would only be for a few hours after all, she couldn’t risk leaving Seleine unwatched.

Odahviing had returned to his human form to wander through the palace, he felt something was off now so he went to find out what. He ended up finding Seleine, ah she wasn’t in a good mood now.

He didn’t know if he should do something or not, though knowing she wasn’t happy didn’t sit well with him? When Alice was upset he would be in his dragon form and let her snuggle him like that, weird but it helped her. He walked over to her and stood behind her, gently pressing his body against from behind and rest his head on top of hers purring lightly.

He didn’t think saying anything would help since he didn’t know what was wrong, but the purring helped Alice too and Seleine doesn’t like dragons so he stayed in human form.

The knight nodded their head once more, before giving a proper saluted as they would slowly try and run towards where Seleine had headed over to.

Seleine was indeed pissed off. Every servant who passed her by, could either see it or even feel it from the dangerous aura coming from her. They all kept their distances from her, but as she felt someone step behind her, she stopped in her steps, slowly glaring behind.

"Is there some-.." Though, her words would be stopped as she felt his body press against her. Feeling his scruff brush against her face, her own cheeks would fluster slightly. It was both from him being so bold, but also due to how she had been feeling. Her emotions a wildfire, ready to set anything and everything ablaze, yet some how, with him there now, she actually felt supported.

Slowly, she leaned back into him, as she'd sigh a little,leading his arms around her slowly. "You really shouldn't sneak up on a woman like you know. Coming at them from behind without a word, could give off the wrong meaning after all." she scoffed, but there was some happiness in her voice.
