( Thea Eliora I hope it is to your liking.) Kagome would appear in a swirl of magic with Blare on her arm yards away from the newly refurbished castle. The pocket portal she shoved back into one of her jacket pockets, she had about three more uses until it needed a recharge. It was a sight to see the land covered in snow. She stiffened slightly at the company that was around her and Blare. Dressed in her armor of fur and leather where Blare wore something similar but more mage-like than a warrior. Blare felt the rush of the magical ley lines and their power that it brought her to tears her delicate fingers tightening against Kagome's arm bracer. Tempest felt a dip in her center as the rush of the planet's ley lines ripped through her core. Her body tingled at the alignment being so much stronger than being on earth. Her golden part of her eyes had a different type of glow here. She stood directly behind Kagome as apart of her family section. She was excited to see her father again. Seeing him across from them to great them had her tear up just a little. She saw Asvi standing next to and just a little behind him. Alister stood behind Felicity, his hands resting on her shoulders. The King and queen standing next to Crevan on the other side, Anya stood next to them. Julian would stand behind Sarah, his arms around her waist. Voss dressed in a white suit with a black undershirt and fedora that matched the colors. He adjusted the blood-red tie, escorted Sia to this function. Lucian had asked Sia to go. Voss forgot anything else, the fact he never wanted to go back here in a million years. He had gotten the low down of what happened. It was much after what had transpired. He since then had not let her go anywhere without someone. Pi stood next to Tommy's body pressed against his side, head nuzzled against his arm. Her fingers gently clasped to his arm until one moved behind him, her fingers gently running through the bushy tail of his. She had heard of the invite and asked to come along with them. Her guards were nearby. So far the winter covered land was beautiful to be held. She was glad she had come along. Ro stood next to Eliora, his hands in his pockets seeming aloof. His eyes focused at the surrounding area, shirt open to the air. Chest felt the chilled breeze, breath fogging the air like all the others around. He seemed unphased by the winter cold. Looking up he saw the three brilliant moons above an aquamarine tinging their light. Crevan's deep voice would come out in the timber smoothness." Welcome to Drethinov and Aranel's Castle. "He would bow his head, holding his arm out as if showing it to them. There was green across the castle walls via branches weaved for decorations. Lamps lighting the windows along the walls. Firelight from the torches near the entrance gave warmth to the coldness of the outside. ~*~ The twin witches catering service witches were busy inside setting up the roasted boar along with the fixings and sides. A long table covered in many great dishes. All had magic cast upon them to keep them warm for the feast. A Large tree that resembled a fir was next to the fireplace. Trinkets sat across the mantel, resembling the living tree in the main castle's garden. Tassels adorned the tree among tiny Solstice gifts among each branch. A bundle of packages below the tree wrapped in silks and bow, waited for those to arrive. All these glorious things waited in the main hall. All of the decorations were of whites and blues in the theme of the Winter Solstice. In the kitchen of the hall was a bustle with witches making drinks among other things. A witch brought out a hot tea pitcher setting it in the drink section among brandy caramel hot chocolate. She would adjust some of the decorations to make it look just right. One of the doors leading out into the garden a crystal between the marble new and finished. Now among the garden was Asvi's small section, while the rest was for Aranel. She had by direction restored it to its former glory. A sapling in the middle of the garden with a rock circle. Herbs lining those rocks in another circle, the glow of flowers matched the Moons. The moonflower is the theme among Aranel's flower beds mingled with the medicinal. A table laid with ales and Kegs of blood wine.

Patience was never one for the cold.
She blamed her dragon heritage; the dragons she was descended from lived in a desert-like environment. The sun never really quite set at night in the spot where all the dragon clans called home on the planet Bechizuno, leaving the inhabitants to adapt to the dry winters and even worse summers. Dragons were used to the heat, sunbathing like reptiles on Earth. They never saw anything like the pristine white landscape she experienced through her eyes now. And if they were to be in this environment for too long, their bodies would shut down quickly.
She didn't expect to keel over right away. The fact that she wasn't all dragon saved her from that. But it was obvious that she was dressed warm: over her dark gray, white fur-trimmed sweater dress and black leggings, she wore a double-breasted coat inlaid with a magicked material that warmed her upper body. To match the dark gray dress, she had a pair of wool gloves and dark leather boots that were laced up all the way to her knees. The seal skin ear muffs kept her ears from falling off.
Nemus, who wasn't as affected by the weather, pressed against her hip, offering his own body heat to his Mistress. This, in turn, had her pressed against Cian's side, the bottom half of her face buried in her coat. Across the way, she saw her cousin dressed similarly to her, with the addition of a scarf keeping her golden curls trapped against her neck.
She just hoped that it was warmer in the castle.
Cardinal stood just beside Anya, pointedly not looking at Felicity and Alister, dressed in a pair of forest green pants and a burgundy-colored coat that had an equally green yoke that brandishing hand-tooled Celtic knotwork. His red hair was pulled up in a bun, and in his hand was his pipes. Like the fae dog pressed against the Seelie princess, the weather did not bother him much.
Felicity was dressed in a light blue gown, with the skirt layered with warm material and embroidered with intricate snowflakes. Over her dress, which had long sleeves and a turtleneck feature, was a cloak. She wore simple diamond studs in her ears and a necklace whose pendant was nestled just above her breasts. On that amulet was the Oriven insignia, a gift given to her just recently.
With one of her hands resting lightly against Alister's, she looked over to her daughter. Sarah, indeed, was not used to the cold. With the winter gear over her body, one would think that she was going on a cross-country trek rather than being out here for a few short minutes to greet everybody. Her back was pressed against Julian's chest, subconsciously seeking heat while her hands were wrapped around his. Her nose was pink already.
But she never once complained. Sarah, dressed in a blush-toned gown underneath her overcoat, looked over the incoming guests. She saw a few familiar faces: Jewel being one of them. And when she saw Voss ... it took her a minute, but she remembered him as the one who took her and the other girls she was kidnapped with from the ... oh what was his name....
Xavier. That was his name. Voss had taken her and the girls after killing the monkey-shifter, only to turn around and have them sold to buyers. Sarah didn't hate him, however. In fact, she couldn't help but to thank him; if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't be here.
Her eyes went to Tempest then, another familiar face. Despite the cold, she couldn't help but smile. She hadn't seen her friend in a long time, but kept in contact by letters. Tempest's time on Earth seemed to be going good for her. And for that, Sarah was glad.
Jewel, Nate, and the quadruplets were dressed in more modern wear. Whereas Felicity and Sarah wore what present-day Earth would call period pieces, with the handmade embroidery and the laced corsets, Jewel and her youngest daughter Hallie had dresses that had zippers. Each had on a pair of leggings, Jewel's cream colored in order not to take away from the cranberry-colored number and Hallie's white to go with the mint green piece that went down to mid-thigh (too short for Jewel's taste, who made her put on a pair of something to make sure Hallie didn't give anyone a free look). Each female wore a pair of ankle boots. Jewel had her hair up in a stylish ponytail, and Hallie had her hair straightened down her back.
Nate, Dimitri, Lucian and Jasper had on slacks-and-vests combos, all varying in color. Over their outfits were coats and hats and gloves, but they really weren't bothered by the cold. The pups especially were in awe of the environment around them. They have never been anywhere that wasn't Earth, and while they knew that Jewel and Nathaniel have been to other places not on Earth before, they really didn't believe their parents when they told these stories until now.
"Whoa," Hallie whispered, eyes wide.
"Isn't it neat?" Jewel whispered back, ruffling Dimitri's hair a little bit and feeling in the Christmas spirit.
Jasper had looked up to the sky, then hit his brother Luc in the chest with the back of his hand. "Look. Three moons."
Nate chuckled, coming up behind his wife so that he could rub her shoulders. He nodded his acknowledgement to the General, a smile on his lips. "Thank you for having us."

((part2 aka the fun part will be in my next post))
A tall slender copper skinned exotic woman with curly dark brown hair that swayed with every step stood excitedly behind Kagome and the forbidden treat Blair. Her hazel eyes danced,switching from red and obsidian black, as she looked up at the three moons in the night sky, a big fanged smile showing on her face. “Oo that looks so pretty!” she said with excitement emanating from every pore of her being. The woman wore a silver necklace with an obsidian rose hanging from it. It is inscribed with beautiful Atlantean glyphs.
The woman wore a blue and white cowl neck cable knit dress with a pair of black leggings and knee high brown leather boots. She had horns coming from her head that cured wide and backwards, giant bat-like wings folded at her back and a long whiplike tail with closed barbs swaying back and forth. A deep growl came from the giant litigon that begrudgingly followed the exotic woman.
“Oh come now Drea, we’re going to a party. Be a little happier,will you.” Navi said cheerfully as she began to hum. She was unsure of who the others were that came along with them, though she was too wrapped up in this new place she found herself in to really care as long as they didnt bother her.
She saw the people at the entrance that greeted her and she waved at them enthusiastically. “Hi! Thank you for letting us come here!” she said with a wide fanged grin. She looked over at the castle and did a little dance before she flashed over to the door and opened it, crossing the threshold unbidden. She looked around and danced on her toes as she took in the pretty decorations. Although they were very beautiful, she couldn't help but think that there was something missing.
Xanavia had caught sight of one of the witches and her grin grew even bigger. “OO what’s that?” she asked innocently as she cupped her hands behind her back placing a seal on the entryway so that none could come through until she was ready. The most amazing idea to add to the decorations of the pretty castle.
~*~
A medium dog sized dragon youngling that was brown, golden and white, with the colors fading softly into each other, stood happily beside Asvi,leaning against her affectionately as they stood slightly behind Zachaeus stood a little off to the side of Crevan. He wasnt a fan of having so many different people coming into what he perceived as his territory. You could say that he was a bit of a scrooge , if you would. His 7ft plus blue and white silk covered frame looking almost brooding as he looked out at all of the new arrivals. He wasnt bothered by the cold seeing as how he could control his body temp, as well as that of his mate if she chose it. He had to remind himself that this was a joyous occasion, though when he saw one of the females from the other group disappear only to reappear at their door, he growled and raised his hand to strike her with lightning, only to have her bounce inside just barely being missed. Needless to say that his first impression of the female wasnt a very good one. Before he turned to follow her and drag her back out he felt the presence of his parents approaching.
Sighing, he stayed where he was with his arms crossed over his chest and mentally reached out to Asvi reflexively,needing some connection with his female. ‘I dont like that female.’ he said a tad grumpily. He just hoped that his dad didnt try to eat any of them when they got there.
~*~
Tempest had invited Lucien to join her and her family for a winter solstice celebration. He had nothing better to do and figured it would be a good change of pace for the children, so he dragged them along as well. The effects of the spirit shards within Eliora’s children would be subdued as long as he was present. He stood clad in a blue dress shirt with a black pair of slacks and a white fedora sat atop his head and white leather dress shoes. On his left shoulder sat a watchful Blade while on his right sat Leechwoman. Standing behind him on his left stood Nicholas who wore a long sleeve white shirt, blood red vest, with black dress pants and red leather shoes.
He stood with his hands in his pockets as his deep emerald eyes scanned the company he was with before looking up at the three moons in the sky. The moonlight causes the gold and red flecks in his eyes to sparkle. He felt the movement on his left shoulder and a small grin played on his lips as he looked at Jester. “You ready for this party, bud?” At the puppet’s excited bounce, he chuckled softly. On his right shoulder, Torch made a sound that was close to a scoff as the puppet could make. Nick turned to him and nodded. “I feel you man, but let’s see how this goes.” He said and reached a hand down to rub the tufts of hair on the tips of the Iberian lynx that walked proudly beside him. Monster gave his hand a quick swipe of his claw in irritation and gave Nick a scowl before looking back at the strangers they were going to.
Standing behind and on Lucien’s right was Lacey. She had grown into a fine looking woman despite the troubles of her youth. It had taken quite a bit for Lucien to reprogram the ills of the vampire scum that had tarnished her,it still left a foul taste in his mouth. She was more reserved than Nick but she was starting to slowly come out of. She wore a bell sleeved blue dress that fell in the back but rose in the front to mid thigh with a pair of matching blue pencil blue pants with gold trimmings and black wrap around shoes. She wore white gold necklace and hoop earrings. Her thick curly honey brown hair was pinned on one side as it hung loose on the other side.
She held pinhead closely in her arms as she walked with her family, still finding it hard to call and consider them such. She cast her light green eyes surreptitiously at her mom and the rays of the moons’ light causing the red and gold flecks of her eyes to seemingly glow. She couldn't find the words to speak to the woman,but hoped that she’d get the chance to. She felt six shooter stir on her shoulder, she let out a breath she hadnt known she held. She always felt safe and calm with these two around her knowing that they were dependable and would watch over her. She could care less about what was going on, though the idea of being around so many Vampires definitely didnt sit well with her, though these Vampires were very different than the ones she grew up with. She sighed and continued to silently follow the group.
~*~
Lance had been notified by his auntie Sia about a party in another world and the notion intrigued him. When was he likely to get another chance to have such an exciting experience. He hadnt seen her in quite some time and was eager to see how she was doing, he hadnt been disappointed. He felt the stir throughout his entire being as the Delica became restless and wanted release from him. He wasnt sure if it was safe to let the creature out around the others unsure if they would try to harm it, but if he didnt release it soon Nhuvireh would burn him from the inside out, soul included.
He wasnt strong enough yet to contain such a spirit creature. With a sigh he bent and rubbed his Iberyan Lynx, Buzz needing a catalyst for the initial energy surge. Soon the celestial being was stretching its six wings as it stretched to its full height. The creature was a nine feet tall humanesque being made of pure light that had no eyes,had six wings pearlesque in color as they reflected its inner light which seemed amplified by the light of the three moons. “Such amazing energy this place has.” Nhuvireh said in a melodious voice that sounded as if it were talking underwater,it was soft and tranquil. Lance wore a simple red dress shirt with a pair of white dress pants and black dress shoes on his tall slender frame. He had a clean shaven fade, golden amber eyes that had emerald flecks within them that shown bright as the gem they resembled. He saw his brother ahead of him walking with a woman and man that he hadnt met before. Before his gaze went to their party hosts ,they looked like royalty,and was glad he came.
~*~
Nicole was glad she’d happened to hear about the party, otherwise she wouldnt have been able to see such a wonderful place. She was dressed in a celestial gown that had been gifted to her from her godfather Se’coma, who was a Datamai Spirit Being. The dress wasblack as the deepest night and had a halter illusion neckline with a sweetheart bodice underneath the dress that hugged her soft curves and framed her ample bosom,and the bodice drifts off into a fluffy skirt covered by metallic silver woven tulle that ends right above the knee as it sparkled against the black dress. It was as if the night sky itself was wrapped around her, matched with a pair of silver colored wrapped shoes.
Her mutli colored hair was braided down her back with whit ribbon interlaced in it and she wore snowflake white gold earrings in her ears. Her eyes were pure white as she looked around happily at the place she had found herself in. The spirits had guided her to her mom which in itself was a pleasant surprise, though the woman didnt greet her as her kin. Nikki wasnt surprised and knew that it was a possibility, after all they’d never consciously met before.
Though at the mention of her grandparents, her mom became silent but didnt push her away. She just silently accepted her, for which she was grateful. Harmony , her Iberian lynx, affectionately rubbed against her. “Hi! Thanks for having us!” she said brightly standing behind Pi and her escorts.
~*~
Eliora stood as close to Ro as she could without being too close. She was grateful to have him around to keep her emotions in line. Her children were complete strangers to her, every last one. She turned her golden amber to look at Casey who was walking close to Dom and Lottie. He held a young grey wolf pup in his arms as two white wolves walked on either side of him;one was older and the other much younger. She was happy to see them , especial Casey. He seemed to be doing well for himself, though the little crush he seemed to have developed for Lottie may become troublesome just as the friendship with Dom. Dom had definitely changed and it didnt seem as though it was for the better but in a way she hoped that his friendship with Casey would help them both and not be detrimental to either of their healths.
Just thinking about the seven of them had her heart heavy and she could feel the overwhelming need to weep try to overcome her as she tried to fight it back.she reached out a hand for Ro, wanting to feel the warmth of his skin between her fingertips a small reminder that everything will be ok. She moved and pressed closer to Ro looping her arm through his and stuck her hand in his pocket to intertwine their fingers. She did so with a deep blush knowing that it made her seem needy and weak the way she depended on him and wondered for the umpteenth time if it was healthy for them to even be together.
Eliora took a deep breath trying to calm down and gather herself.she merely drew in a deep breath of Ro’s scent and felt herself calm a bit. She looked to their hosts and feigned a smile for them as she waved in welcome. She had come because she was guard to no one but Voss and his children, so where they went she went.
Eliora wore a white velvet African Kaftan dress ,that faded into royal purple as it got towards the bottom ,with golden beads hand stitched along the v-neck collar and over the shoulders with the design and along the wrist cuffs. She wore golden small hoop earrings and golden heels. She wore her long white hair braid to the side with a royal purple ribbon intertwined within and a black rose behind her ear.
~*~
Sia pressed her breast against Voss’s arm as she looked up at him sheepishly. She just loved how protective he gets over her and jealous. His temper was like a bee to honey for her. After the incident with Lucien ,he wouldnt let her out of his sight or without an escort. She didnt mind it, it was definitely fun to make her guards squirm uncomfortably with her antics. She did stiffen when Lucien invited her to the party as his guest , but she was definitely not going to go anywhere or be alone with him ever again. Naturally she extended that initiation to her mate and family. She gave Voss a bit of a squeeze when she thought about it.
Sia wore a form fitting black dress with white faux snow fox fur on the collar all the way down and around the edges and bell sleeves. The dress, if you can call it that-it seemed more of a coat , stopped at the juncture of her thighs and trailed down in the back. She wore thick red leggings and knee high black boots. Her long white hair was curled and danced down her back with each step. She saw the host group and gave them a big smile. They didnt seem so bad. “Thank you for having us. It’s a pleasure to be here.” She said happily. There was an actual castle and royalty! Sia was plenty excited. “This going to be so much, dont you think baby?” She asked with a bright smile as she looked up at him.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tommy and cut her eyes at him. She wasnt too happy about him dating her daughter but as long she was happy he could live. Tommy felt a chill go down his spine as he tried not to look at Sia as he enjoyed having Pi snuggled against him. Having her gently brush his tail did wicked things to him and it was such an innocent act. He brought his tail a little higher so that she could reach it easier.
He wore a knee length white kurta ,its blue embroidered side-seams left open at the bottom, the sleeves were cuffed with button opening,a pair of dhoti pants and a pair of blue pastel shoes. His long white hair had been split and braided. The long braid was wrapped around itself as the bottom half was left hanging freely down his back. He was happy when Pi had asked him to go because it gave him a chance to spend more time with her. Though if it wasnt Sia threatening to kill him then it was Tia and Mateo threatening his manhood.
He wished they would just chill with the death threats,he’d never dream of hurting Pi and would definitely not allow anyone else to do so. He cast his seagreen eyes at Tia and Mateo then sighed as he looked around. There were some familiar faces and some not so familiar faces, but the place was beautiful, especially the three moons that cast their gentle light upon them. He smiled softly and bent down to kiss Pi on the top of her head.
Cian and his group of carpathians, which consisted of Himself, Zander,Vivianna, Daciana,Lacramiora and the others. Their outfits were simple in color and fashion. The cold didnt bother them because of their ability to regulate their body temperature. When Patience pressed against him he gave her a soft smile. ‘You know, I can warm you up if you’d like.’ Cian said softly to her along their mate link as he wrapped an arm around her pulling her closer to him.
Zander looked at Viviana who looked at him and blushed deeply before looking away to look at the wonderland around them. It was a beautiful place. ‘Not as beautiful as you.’ At the sound of Zander’s deep sensual voice Vivianna felt a caress throughout her entire being before his words sank in and they both shared a laugh bc they both knew he was wholeheartedly against the lovey dovey stuff. It was something she enjoyed teasing him about because she would be gifted with blushes. She giggled softly and Dacian bumped her shoulder playfully while Lacramioara wiggled her eyebrows suggestively as they teased her briefly before feigning innocence when Zander growled softly.
They saw Zachaeus and smiled brightly at him. He was the lost blood of the extinct dragon/jaguar bloodline. They couldnt wait to pick his brains, though he didnt look too welcoming as they all moved closer to them . Lacramioara coudlnt wait to get the party started.

( Let me know if I forgot anything. And I will correct it.)
Kagome felt the energy of Navi behind her. For a demon, she was sure bubbly. When she excitedly exclaimed that something was pretty, it brought a headache on. It was not long before her fingers were close to her temple, long claw-like fingernails like a cat shone with black nail polish. She had debated leaving her alone at her house, which she decided was a bad idea. She knew if she came home all her horses were gone along with many other things. She would pull all her hair out. She called her prize-winning thoroughbred horses snacks. Blare and her had been trying to make her space Navi free. So far nothing was working. So Kagome had been resigned to being the demon's 'friend'. Blare would not have much to say about her if she did not often catch the demon staring at her as a cat stares at its prey. Like she was something to eat. They both turned to notice she had blipped away to the door. Kagome let out a soft growl as blare was about to move she would grab her hand briefly. Her glove kept an episode from happening.
" Laissez-le mon petit sac de sang épicé." Blare would purse her lips as if she did not like what she said but rolled her eyes remaining by her side. Kagome's hand would come up gripping her face pulling it closer to hers. " You, brat I do not have time to punish. So behave." She said between gritted fangs a sneer on her face. She would walk away from the blushing witch. Crevan would smile to Nate his head would bow to him in respect. "It is my pleasure." He said
She held out her arms to the giant of a man. He turned his attention back to kagome. He picks her up and swings her like she was a child hugging her." I never thought I would see the Princess home again upon her native soil!" He would set her down. "Those guest and guest of a guest. May for this night you call my hall home." They would turn walking with the guest to the castle.
~*~
One of the witches looked up," What is what?" They looked around, the activation of a seal had the other witches turning to the demon before them. Realizing this Demon was not of the variety that wandered the landscape here.
~*~
Asvi would smile gently petting the dragon as if he was a mere lovable hound loyal and dependable. She would gently scratch his scale under his chin. " Who is my knight in shining armor." She whispered to Gyzm. She thought he was so adorable with how lovable he was now that he had taken a liking to her. When Zacchaeus reached out to her mind she would stiffen at first until she knew it was him. 'The bouncy demon looking one? ' She had seen her go inside without really being invited. Which was rude. ' I thought it was rather rude to leave behind those that brought her here yes.' She said through their mated link. He had been teaching her to use her mind, she had a hard time even though her will was strong. His was much stronger than hers, it had been many generations since they had used their minds for things. They now rely on magic far too much.
Asvi seeing his Mother and Father touch down not far off she would walk to them with her form-fitting dress moving along her legs it was the color blue and white to match her Mate and Lord. She dressed as if the weather was summer. She would lower herself to a kneeling position in the snow bowing her head to them." Greetings oh great Queen Syrros, Lady of the Skies, and King Ceirryphelth, Bringer of Death leaders of the dragons. " It was a sign of respect. She would remain like this for a moment. " If I may lend you the magic of my ancestors so that you may walk among us tonight?"
~*~
Anya remained with the King and queen as they walked after the greetings were done. "Looking very festive perv" She jested to Cardinal. She was eager to be inside by the warm fire. She could only think of ale's and ciders, among all the tasty food. Her stomach was close to rumbling as she tried to push the many tasty things out of her mind. It did not work. Laina would smile hearing her stomach." Soon little witch, very soon the food will be in your stomach." She said with a smile watching her husband being very stoic as he walked. She wondered what he was worried about but did not make a fuss. Liana had seen Jewel and could not wait to speak with the woman again, she had missed the company of such a kind woman.
Damien was a little Leary having a bunch of people this close to the castle in which most he had not vetted. He would remain calm though as he walked with his family, he could not wait to get back inside where those that had not seen each other in a while would get to be like they had never left. He looked forward to speaking with Nate, he saw his children with him. It was a happy occasion to say the least.
~*~
Alister smiled his suit dark crimson and light crimson for his undershirt with a black tie. He would turn hanging out his arm for her," My lady?" If she took it he would escort her towards the castle. He walked slowly taking his time letting most pass them. " I hope this time of year has you well." He was asking without really trying to pry on her feelings. Felicity had to be handled with a certain kind of care, otherwise, her sparks would fly and he would find her cute. He did not mind that but she seemed to become even more feisty and would try and ignore him.
Julian would smile as she looked across the way at those that had arrived. " I take it you know some of them?" He asked in a whispered tone. He knew Tempest but she seemed aware of others that he did not know. Turning to hold out his arm to escort her along the way as others began to walk for the castle. Julian had at first had not wanted to come here it was still uneasy around Crevan for him. The last time they spoke his words still came forth like venom. Which in turn made their sparing match almost become fatal. Now he chose to avoid him unless Sarah was involved.
~*~
Tempest saw the daughter that he had taken in after what he thought was her death. She was not upset about how they greeted each other. She rather enjoyed seeing him happy, she knew her father would know a warrior better than a daughter. It was not that she couldn't fight but Kagome could walk and talk like a man and still look like a woman. She could do both. She walked slowly towards Sarah and Julian but did not inject herself into their conversation. She just walked close by them. Her last letter to Sarah had been detailed in her new job not much else. Though she had heard many things about Sarah. It seemed it was always a wild adventure with her.
~*~
Lottie seemed happy to be around her brother for this event. It had been a while since she had seen him. He barely had looked at her though, she did not understand why. She tore her eyes from him to look to Casey who she smiled at, she could not help look to the puppy. " Did Tu'tanka have a puppy?" She asked with a smile and a giggle. She seemed super happy to be spending time with Casey.
Dom took a few steps sniffing the air before a smile tainted his face for only a brief second. The smile had been one that was not normal, yet goes unnoticed. He muttered to himself walking down he waved to Casey as if signaling they would speak once in the side. He seemed to be giving his sister and Casey space.
~*~
Ro had been pulling emotions from her when she needed it. Unless asked or they were in mass, he left it alone. He would catch her out of the corner of his eye moving closer to him. When he felt her arm loop in his, he knew she needed the contact. His fingers would slip into hers giving her hand a little squeeze. " Do we need to sneak off somewhere so that I can quite your demon? " He asked his face hard and stoic but his eyes deep with concern.
He wondered if her coming with them had been a good idea. She is the protector of Voss and his family did not sit with him well. She had assured him that Voss had respect for her, though he wondered if that was true. If she had not asked him to come he would of anyway. He looked down at her with a brief smile." I never imagined a place like this." The lunar pull was strong here.
~*~ Voss felt Sia press against him he would let out a small growl of a warning for her to behave. Knowing it was pretty futile to do so, she hardly behaved when asked to unless it was a very serious matter for a business she was a flirt and a tease. He had looked to her with a smile on his face to her though when his eyes wandered to his daughter and Casey he froze.
Voss was wondering about Casey, Lottie and how quickly they had grown close. When he heard Sia speak he would mumble a response much the same before tearing his eyes from his daughter and boyfriend. When Sia made a statement he would turn to her and smile." I am sure it will. " He would sniff the air, mingled scents came to his nose muted. He looked stoic for a moment before smiling to her, " I think tonight will be very interesting. As long as you are in my gaze fun shall be had." He had said he had noticed the daggers Sia had thrown Tommy he could not help but chuckle. " Do not give him too much love. "He whispered watching Tommy and Pi. Voss at one point had laid eyes on the girl he had sold, now she seemed in better standards than when she was.
Pi blushed to feel his kiss on her hair she would press against him more closing her eyes. She would kiss the sleeve covering his arm. It was not long before she let go of him noticing the glares he was getting. A deep blush covered her face. A loud whisper came from her. " Momma stop." She had a little whine to her voice as if she was embarrassed. She liked Tommy very much and she rather not have him scared away because her mother could be a tad bit overprotective. She would look to Tia and Mateo letting out a soft growl." Behave. He has done nothing to hurt me. You do however have my permission to do something if he does. Until then stop giving those looks." She said in a firm yet kind voice.
~*~
Sorinna stayed close to Lupe, merely because her nose was in a book. She had yet to look about or take anything in. Lupe reached across taking the bottom of the book by the stem and closed it pulling it away from her." Please do not embarrass me by being a flower against the wall tonight." Said to her as he carried the book so she would not go back to putting her nose into it. Sorinna looked at first disappointed, but when her eyes caught the snow covering the ground. It was like looking into a winter paradise. The moons were such a sigh she could only gasp and reach out for Lupe who had walked a few paces ahead of her." Come, stop gawking." He stated as he waited for her to catch her balance gripping his suit jacket as she could not tear her eyes from the moons. He seemed indifferent about how emotional she was at the moment. He noticed another of their kin but seemed not too eager to go near him. Lupe's mood was blunt at best.
Sorinna finally tore her eyes from the moons before she noticed her friends moving over towards another Carpathian. She would move quicker leaving Lupe behind, which did not seem to mind. He looked about with a strange stoic look. It was like what most would find wonderment was merely nothing he hadn't seen before.

Cian's words were like a caress, causing a shiver to travel down her back. Patience knew what he meant, yet in her mind she pictured all the ways he could, indeed, warm her up. She let him pull her closer, a definite sign of trust seeing as how she never let a male touch her without her permission. It reminded her of when they first met. And while they still had a ways to go, she was thankful of where they stood now.
Mmm, please do, she answered, a sultry tone in her voice revealing that she wasn't just thinking about the Carpathian ability to regulate body temperature as she raised her arm to wrap around his middle. On the way, her hand made a detour to surreptitiously give his ass cheek a squeeze. She couldn't help the quick, cheeky grin that flitted to her face before she schooled her expression into that of a visiting royal.
Which, she wasn't one anymore. That was one of the main reasons why she felt comfortable coming in the first place. After her demotion and exile her most wonderful twin brother composed, she no longer had any affiliation with the Courts of Faerie. At the time, she was upset; how could she not be? That was her home as much as her grandfather's cave and the manor were. But now, she found it to be something she was thankful to her brother. It was one less thing on her plate. Patience didn't have to wear a metaphorical mask anymore. And she got to spend more time with Cian in the end. Wade actually did her a favor.
It did not get past her that Navi had gone ahead of the group, making her wonder what the demon had planned. Navi made her nervous to say the least, whether it was the fae side of her or just because she hasn't had the best experiences with demons in the first place.
Jewel smiled when Crevan bowed her head at her mate and looked up at Nathaniel. He smiled back after acknowledging the nod, the traditional smoulder that had her giggling like a school girl as she took his hand and followed her pups toward the castle. Dimitri had his hands in his pockets, looking like he was bored and would have rather been anywhere else. Jasper had a fidget cube that he had made, fingers idly activating the features each face had. Luc and Hallie were arm-in-arm, Hallie practically skipping with her excitement.
Dimitri, Jewel said to him via the pack link. Try to have some fun tonight.
Of course, there was no verbal answer, but Dimitri sent a thumbs up his mother's way as if he heard her, but really made no promises.
Jewel sighed, then glanced at Eliora's way. She wasn't sure who all was with her, so she hadn't had gone up to her like she wanted to. Jewel hadn't seen her mentor in a long time, fearing that she had been dead and mourning her loss as if she was. Now, seeing her, she wanted to hug her old friend and catch up.
Jewel faced forward to look at Laina. The smile she gave the queen was genuine, and like Laina she couldn't wait to catch up with her. She saw the vampire as her friend, truly.
Cardinal's expression was quick to change, lighting up in mirth as he barked out a laugh. "And you are too, little prude." He held out his elbow, offering to escort her in like Alister and Julian had done. If she didn't take his elbow, he wouldn't take offense. He would just walk beside her. He knew the possessiveness of the vampires; while he knew how exactly to cause mischief, he didn't feel the desire to get under the king's skin. He couldn't help but chuckle again at Laina's words to Anya. "And how are you this fine evening? Has the year treated you well?"
Felicity took the offer Alister gave her, her heart skipping a beat as she did so. She placed her hand on his forearm, her touch light. She looked up at the demon at his question, giving a brief smile. Is she well? In short, yes. She was not physically ill, nor was she mentally. But she felt an ache in her chest that's been there since the last time she and her sister talked. Well, fought, more like. It was then that Aine, the matriarch of their family, officially shunned Felicity (and by proxy, Sarah) from the family. The family tome was no longer available to them among other things that being in the family coven gave them access to.
While Sarah's reaction was basically "we don't need them", Felicity worried that they actually did. Sarah was rare in that she could make her own spells, adding to the family tome. Felicity couldn't deny that she was powerful. But her magic wasn't always reliable, much like those that came before her. The difference between Sarah and her predecessors was that her predecessors had their family to rely on. Now, Sarah only had Felicity.
Finding out that the family started here, on Drethinov, gave the water witch hope. She was conscious of the insignia that hung around her neck, naming her the head of Veneifri's Oriven family. "I am as well as I can be, Alister. I'm glad to be home for this. And how are you faring?"
Sarah felt her Master's happiness at seeing Kagome like it was her own, watching him briefly with a small smile on her face. If anyone deserved such happiness, it was the Crevan. She didn't look for too long, however, and turned away. As if out of habit, she took Julian's arm, resting her gloved fingers at the crook of his elbow. She was ready to head inside, knowing the first place she was going was to the fire to warm herself. "Yes, a few," she answered the Prince, looking up at him. "My cousin Patience is here with her True One. She's been helping me with the dragon side of my heritage. And then there's Jewel, who you know, and Tempest - merry meet, Tempest!" She had felt more than heard her friend come up, and on instinct held out her arm to her Master's daughter and waved her to her side. "Come here! I'm cold," she told her with a laugh.
She continued her conversation with Julian then, waiting for Tempest to walk beside her. If she did, she would hook her free arm with Tempest's as she would have with Anya. "And then there is the man in the white suit," she continued with a bit of hesitation. She never liked to talk about her time in the human trafficking ring. She had seen the worst of humanity then. Sarah cleared her throat as if something was caught in it. "He's ... I guess you could say he's the reason why I came to the Isles in the first place."
She gave a shrug of her shoulders, as if it was no big deal. "I'm glad you came, by the way," she told him, her voice soft. "I understand how tense it is between you and Master right now." And the reason why was because of her.
To Tempest, she smiled. "How have you been?"

<<<<<<CAUTION!! THIS POST CONTAINS BLOOD AND GORE! CONTINUE READING AT YOUR OWN RISK >>>>>>
(actions taken in this post was agreed on by both members involved)
Xandrea had a sinking feeling in her stomach as she watched Navi go inside the castle without invitation. She growled softly as she facepalmed. She just hoped she didnt do anything too horrible. This place was amazing and seemed very magical. It was the first time in a long time that she was so relaxed in that company of so many people. It helped that Nate was there, he was practically the only one she knew there. She hadnt had the pleasure of meeting his family and a small smile touched her lips as she looked over at them. They were a beautiful family and made her long for one of her own. She didnt like the longing she was feeling and pushed those thoughts away harshly.
~*~
Lucien gave a slight bow as he reached their hosts. “Thank you for allowing us to be in your home. It's beautiful here.” He said as Nick and Lacey walked up and gave their own greeting. As they approached the castle, Lucien could smell and sense the death of the newly released souls. He chuckled and muttered under his breath. ‘Well someone is having fun.’ Blade grunted as he looked around at the other souls present. He could only see them as their soul essence and not their physical bodies. He helped Lucien chose the best souls to join him and there were plenty present. As if reading his mind, Lucien chuckled. “We are not here for that , my friend.” He frowned deeply at the presence of the Delica that had accompanied Lance before he covered it with the previous smile he’d been wearing. Because of that damn creature he hadnt been able to take the child yet.
But he had nothing but time to get that done , so in the meantime he will just enjoy this little encounter.
~*~
Lance looked up at Nhuvireh and smiled before looking around. “It is beautiful isnt it?” He said with pure fascination. Buzz darted off to play with the other Lynx Felines. It had been a while since they had all been together. Harmony and Monster initially hissed and growled at him before they ran off playing in the snow. “It really is, Sir Lancelot.” Nikki replied to her brother after she had snuck up to him so that she could catch him off guard. She turned to the Delica guardian and smiled brightly.
“So this is where you have been, Nhuvireh.” She said happily.
“Lady Nicole, its always a pleasure to see you.” It said and returned Nikki’s smile with one of it’s own. “I am fulfilling a request of one of the Goddesses.I will return home when it has been completed.” It said with a slight bow to Nikki.
“Wow I didnt know you knew the Delica, Lance.” Nikki said in slight surprise at the same time Lance asked Nhuvireh how it knew his sister, though he remembered the strong connection his sister had with the Spirit Realm even as a kid. It was very seldom, if ever, Nikki saw any of her siblings in the Spirit world. “Dude we have sooooo much to talk about.” she said in excitement and cast a big smile to their mom before she turned to walk along with the others to the entrance of the castle.
For a brief moment she paused as she felt quite a bit of Spirit energy that would normally gather in a place where someone had just died. The amount of it told her that it was multiple people and this made her weary. “No need for concern , m’lady. You are well protected.” Nhuvireh said softly to her. It was no surprise that the young woman would be so sensitive to such things, considering her connection with death and the Spirit realm had been strong since birth and only grew stronger especially after her first shift.
Nhuvireh knew that Lucien would protect his kin despite its presence there. It turned its head to Eliora and knew that the estranged woman would step in as well.
~*~
Eliora looked at her children unsure what to make of them. They were beautiful and seemed to be doing well. She tore her eyes from her children to look over at Jewel. That was definitely a face that she hadnt seen in a very long time. She gave a sad smile before turning to look up at Ro. Despite her doubts, she was happy she had him by her side. She leaned into him a bit more letting his voice wash over her. She gave her head a small shake. “Its not that bad right now, though i will let you know before it does. I dont want to ruin anyone’s fun.” she smiled softly at his words. “Neither have I. It’s beautiful.” she said and looked up at the moons in the sky as she followed Voss and Sia.
~*~
Casey gave a shy smile at Lottie and an embarrassed blush when Dom had left them alone, or rather as alone as one could get when in such a large crowd of people. His hazel eyes danced when she took notice of the wolf pup he’d brought along. “He did. I was going to wait to give the puppy to you later but there was no real way to hide a puppy.” He said with a slight chuckle as he held the puppy for her to take. “ Happy Yule.” He said nervously. The two wolves that had been with him stuck close to his side even as they saw the fellines playing around in the snow.
~*~
Sia smiled innocently at Voss and purred when he growled softly at her. Her gaze followed his and would have chuckled but she was the same when it came to Pi and Tommy. She sighed and lifted a brow. “I could say the same about Casey and Lottie.” She said and grabbed a handful of his ass pulling him closer before turning to look forward, a bright smile shown on her face with not a hint of remorse.
“Fine, Baby. I will stop.” She said and crossed her fingers behind her back. Kori and Tia chuckled, both knowing that she wouldnt. Mateo gave Pi a small bow without another peep as he followed in stoic silence. “Yes, Mistress. My apologies.” Tia said and gave a slight bow of her head as they made their way to the door. She should have been unhappy because she had been admonished but she could only smile, happy that Pi was growing into her own.
Tommy gavae Pi a sad small smile. He knew she let him go because of them around her but he didnt want to let her go. He would be happy with whatever she wanted to give him as long she was with him. He looked around at those who’d come and was beyond curious about them. His attention went to the Spirit being ...creature and it just blew his mind. They were in this beautiful and amazing place with these incredible people.
~*~
The chuckle that Cian sent Patience was deep and full of promise as he saw the images that played in her mind. “ Soon,fél ku kuuluaak sívam belsö avio päläfertiil(beloved lifemate)” He whispered to her along their link, referring to the images she’d had before he would regulate her temperature to match his. Once he had finished, he turned his attention to the hosts. “bur tule ekämet kuntamak(Well met brother -kin)” He said in his native language before switching to English in case they didnt know what was just said. “Thank you for having us.” The others followed Cian’s lead, though their breath, along with a good portion of the others were snatched at the sight of the huge dragons touching ground a ways away from them.
The mixture of exclaimed astonishment wasnt missed on Zachaeus and his family. “Holy shit ! is that a fucking Dragon?!” “Oh wow!, they are beautiful!” “I thought this place was incredible before but this takes the cake.” Amazing!” Zachaeus was a tad annoyed by it all. He took a deep breath and turned to his parents, walking right up to them.
“Hello Mother and Father.” He said in a deep tone that was a mix between a grunt and snarling growl. Syrros wrapped her tail around him and pulled him into her body as she growled and nuzzled him. Her body was lean and much smaller than the male’s. She was covered in soft pink scales with a narrowed head and snout. Her hind legs were longer than her front, with all four limbs sporting feathers along her outer thighs and along her forearms. She sported six feathered wings and four steel like horns, two that curved downward and the others that curved upward. Atop her head she had a layered fan of feathers on her head that looked like flowing flame colored lockes. Her tail was long and thick like that of a whip. Her rose quart eyes looked upon Zachaeus adoringly. “Hello, little one. Oh how i’ve missed you.” She said happily as she nuzzled Zachaeus and held him close before putting him down. To any who heard them they would only hear the snarls and growls of the dragons as they greeted their son.
Ceirryphelth merely looked at the two of them as they greeted one another rolling his eyes at his mate. “You saw him several months ago.” he growled and looked affronted when Syrros snapped at him. Ceirryphelt was three times bigger than his mate. He was heavily muscled with obsidian armor plated scales that were thick, black as the deepest night and seemed to swallow all light. His wings were strong ,enormous and bat-like with clawed curved tips at the top. His neck was long and thick and supported his huge head that housed large horns. He had long thick spikes that grew smaller as it went down his back ending just below the base of his tail.
His tail was thick and ended in barbs that he could freely extend at will. His limbs were thick as trees to support his large frame.
“Thats too long.” she said and spread her wings angrily at her mate only to immediately turn her attention to the small female that accompanied their son. She tilted her head Asvi before turning to Zachaeus, her eyes bright. “Oh so this is why you havent been by to seen your dear mother.” she said mischievously, causing Zachaeus to blush.
“Mother, she can hear you.”He said and facepalmed. He opened the link between him and Asvi so that she could understand what they were saying, though now he was having second thoughts.
“She is a fine looking female, son.” Ceirryphelth said looking Asvi over. “Father ,not you too.” Zachaeus almost groaned. “What? You should be happy that we approve, otherwise your mother would have eaten her.” Ceirryphelt said unashamed of his words.
He relayed Asvi’s words to his parents and watched the look of surprise play out on their face before they looked at one another. “That would be wonderful!” Syrros exclaimed and spread her wings as she stood on her hind legs. She reached a wing out to Zachaeus and motioned for him to give Asvi one of her feathers. Zachaeus did as he was bid. “You may rise young one.” She said in a soft growling tone.
Ceirryphelt sighed and looked down at the young female. “I guess it should be fine.” He’d wanted to object and ask about it though he figured he could do so after the deed was done seeing as how Syrros didnt really give him much in the way of a choice. The silly female had already agreed. She would be the death of him one of these days.
~*~
Navi giggled and danced on her tiptoes as she began counting in a singsong voice. “1,2 , Navi’s coming for you. 3,4 you’ll breathe no more. 5,6 Navi give no shits. 7,8 You’re gonna help decorate. 9,10 Let the fun begin!” Navi sang as she counted the heart beats of the witches inside the great hall and kitchen. “Mmm, there’s an extra one. That means Navi gets a special snack!” she giggled again and her fanged smile turned to the witch who answered her question with a question.
“Navi finds that annoying.” Navi stated with a slight frown. As she continued to speak in third person a clear sign that Navi was getting extremely excited. “ Navi was asking about the things in your hands but it no longer matters. Navi, thank you for fixing up everything and making it look so pretty. The food smells delicious as do the drinks. Navi feels as if the room needs to brighten up some and the food and drink more flavor.” she said as she twirled and came to a stop in front of the witch.
“You smell even more delicious than the food you cooked.” Navi said giving the poor frightened witch a good hard sniff as if she were sniffing a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Navi spread her wings and within a blink she had her tail wrapped firmly around the neck of the witch before the poor woman had a chance to take another breath.
Navi held the woman in the air and off of her feet,simply swaying gently as she tried to think of how she wanted to decorate the room. She felt the high ceiling needed more decoration, the single inverted candelabra looked plain to Navi as it only had a three ring wreath connected by blue ribbons.”Oh! Navi knows what to do with you! You can go up there!” she said and turned the witch around so that she could see what Navi was talking about.
The scent of pure fear became so much stronger and Navi giggled. The way her tail was wrapped around the woman’s throat, her barbed tail rested at the back of her head. Navi fully extended the barbs on her tail and went straight through the base of the woman’s skull, one coming through her mouth. The scent of blood as it dripped down her tail and onto the floor was so sweet. Navi couldn't help but have a little taste, so she brought the dead woman forward and licked the barb that protruded from the woman’s mouth. “Mmm.”
Navi brought her clawed hand up and began to flay the dead body. It was very similar to peeling a banana. From the collar bone on down the front,she peeled the flesh from the bones stopping at the hips. At the sight of the woman’s internal organs she squealed and danced. Her claws cut through the bone, muscle and tendons of the arms very easily so that it fell down quite easily while still attached. She did the same to the other arm arn before turning the body around for her to do the back. She ended up spilling the internal organs in the process. After cutting the organs from the shell of a body , with a wave of her hand Navi set them on fire to “clean” them in case someone didnt want food that had fallen on the floor.
She lifted the body and tied the hair to the middle section of the candelabra so that the head and spine were inside the wreath that hung from there. She gave the candelabra a bit of a twist and watched gleefully as the blood swung everywhere. She was giggling as she licked the blood on her claws when she noticed a heartbeat coming closer only for it to race as the second witch walked into the room.
The woman inhaled sharply, readying to scream but Navi was in front of her in an instant and in one strike sliced her throat, almost decapitating the poor woman. She used her wing to prevent the blood from getting all over her. The platter of food that the witch had been holding almost fell on the ground but Navi used her tail to quickly catch it and balanced it. She brought it to her face and sniffed it. “Mmm, this smells delicious!” she said excitedly as she licked her lips. She stretched her wing out and flung the blood on the wall across the hall. She had the bright idea to place the sverice witches’ heads on the pedestals that ceiling support arches were on. “Yea yea, that way you can watch as everyone enjoys the delicious food you guys made.” She said happily as she ripped the woman’s head off, granted there wasnt much keeping it attached.
She flew up to the ceiling pedestal and placed the head on there. ‘Nine left to go.” she said and began humming christmas carols she’d learned, though she couldn't remember the exact words to them so she improvised making them her own unique version of them. She was doing this as she began to rip the fingers off the hands of both witches and place them in several of the platters as if they were horderves.
She thought carefully about how she used the witch. Navi perked up and completely gutted it , before she tossed the body in the air and flicked her wrist. With that one movement the body was folded in a way that forced the ribcage to be forced upward as the legs were folded backwards to act as a sort of stand. She took the body and placed it on the table where the other meats were. The organs that she had set on fire earlier had burned to a crisp. “Ooops.” Navi said and laughed before she took the newly removed organs and set them on fire inside the rib cage, though she made sure the fire wasnt so intense.
Navi walked into the Kitchen and for just a moment there was complete silence as they all just simply stared at one another. The grin she gave proudly showed her fangs as she let her wings out fully and stretched them. “What the fuck is that?!” “You cant be in here!” Ahh!” Navi laughed as they scrambled to make sense of her and to usher her out. It was all fun and games until one of them touched her. She didnt mind the company of others, even those she intended to kill, as long as they didnt touch her.
With a snarl she outstretched her clawed hand and stopped all of them where they stood she listened to their screams and angry outbursts and threats as they hung suspended in the air. “One,two, three, four….oh goody you’re all here!” She said with a devilish grin as she danced between them all and sniffed them. As she danced she wiggled her fingers and forced them to follow her into the dining hall
Still dancing she raised them all in the air and twirled them as she had the candelabra earlier cutting their wrists causing blood to spray all over the place, from the food to the walls. Their screams and cries made her even happier and caused her to dance even more. Slowly their cries died down and only then did she bring them down, though they were still suspended in the air. She had wanted to do something completely different with them but she was pressed for time. She was so excited to see how everyone liked her additions to the feast and decorations.
She turned to the tree and her grin widened. She tore open the chest of one of the men and ripped his heart out and flew over to the yule tree and changed out the tree topping with the bloody heart. She ripped each one of them open so that she could use their intestines as tinsel to decorate the tree. She ripped their heads off and scooped out their eyes to put them in a bowl of punch to add flavor to it. Everything tastes better with eyeballs. She debated on where she should take the brain out as well, although it was a tasty treat for her, she was unsure if they would like them if they werent zombies.
That thought had her wondering if there were any zombies around. They were almost as good as the hellhounds when disposing of bodies, though they tended to be a bit messy. Shrugging she placed their heads on their own pedestal on the wall. She proceeded to cut up the remaining body parts and placed them on a few platters on the meat table. There were a few pieces that she kept in order to hang up. She had two sets of balls and hung them in both of them in the doorways.
Thing was, she knew that some humans would hang things like this but she couldnt remember exactly what it was so figured their balls should be a sufficient substitute. She was so excited , she began to sing ‘Jingle bells’ or at least her version of it.
Born in hell , Born in hell
I hatched from an egg
Now i'm here with christmas cheer
And stringing up the dead
Hey! Navi’s song was cut short when she saw that she had actually missed one. The woman hid in a corer curled up. Navi figured that she had cast some sort of spell that masked her presence though, when she moved she was brought to Navi’s full attention. The woman begged and pleaded for Navi not to kill her, causing Navi to sigh. “ you dont want to be part of Navi’s decorations?” she asked a little hurt. The woman looked horrified and vehemently shook her head no.
“Fine, you wont be a decoration.” the woman sighed in relief. “Navi will just eat you now then.” Before the woman could utter another word or move, Navi began to eat the woman alive, starting by ripping out her throat. She stood in the middle of the room levitating as she ate the woman , saving her soul for last since those were always the best part of a meal. With bountiful energy , Navi went back to her song.
Now I’m here they run in fear
I just want to play
I’ll decorate with all your guts
And put you on display
Coloring the walls
With blood, guts and your face
Hang you by your balls
While laughing at your pain
Your fear fragrant the air
And liven up the mood
I’ll place your eyeballs in the punch
And fingers in the food
Ooooh Navi’s here, Navi’s here
Now its time for fun
You’re all dead and the rooms all red
And now the party’s begun!
Navi sang loud and proud before taking a bite. She went completely still when she heard the door open. During her fun, she’d forgotten to keep the seal up. So upon seeing her, she almost looked like a kid that was caught with her hand in the cookie draw before a huge grin split her face. “Merry Christmas!!” she said genuinely happy as blood dripped from everything including her chin as she had a piece of flesh hanging between her fangs.

Crevan was at ease greeting those that would show him respect made sure to return in such a way that showed he was a good host."bur tule ekämet kuntamak" He turned to Lucian with a smile. " Thank you, I tried to make it for everyone. " It was when he smelled the metallic and odd notes of the blood of the witches here. He did a quick scan seeing the demon gone that had come with Kagome. He let out a snarl his lip curling slightly as the crimson color filled his iris. His fingers would curl slightly his claws looking extra sharp as if he had filed and adorned them. He did not short teleport to his castle he deemed to walk.
Kagome stiffened taking in the smell of the mingling of witch's blood, Blare seeing how she looked let go of her arm as the woman took off on a run passing up Crevan. She put her hand on the hilt of her blade as she beelined for the castle doorway. Once at the door she pushed through heading for the great hall. When she went inside she went slack-jawed for a moment. " Navi?! Wha... " She licked her lips at the smell of death pulling the glove from her hand she would touch the surface where blood had splattered her eyes went white as she recalled what had transpired.
Laina smiled seeing that jewel seemed as eager to speak again as she. She would respond to Cardinal with a smile as well. " I am well cardinal. The year as always has its ups and downs. But I..." Letting out a breath as the blood lust slowly took over her eyes her fangs seemed longer as she raised her hand into the air her tome would appear. Her husband was the only one that seemed not affected by the smell of blood. It was gone unnoticed that Anya had slipped her arm through Cardinals as she enjoyed the escort. She at first did not understand why they were agitated so. Seeing the bloodlust meant that someone had spilled life force from someone.
She would cling closer to Cardinal trying to stay out of those around her way. " I am far from a prude" She whispered as she seemed transfixed on the vampires around her. She watched the queen move after her daughter, Crevan picked up his speed seeing Laina run towards the building. The pages flipping quickly in her tome to a certain page. She would move her clawed finger across the line of the tome. She would speak Latin pulling the spell from the page as her hand would consume it. Closing her tome it would disappear again.
~*~
Dom had been walking faster towards the door, in hopes to see what had caused the smell of blood. Though when several of the vampires had run towards the door he slowed down. Not wanting to seem overly excited at the prospect, though technically it would be in a wolf's nature. It caused a live wire in his nerves like they were ready to spring. It had been a little while since he had killed a human. Whatever was going on inside the castle had him ready to participate.
Heta had on a thick puffy coat in rainbow color as she moved after Dom she seemed to have mittens covering her hands as she tried to keep up with him. " Dom wait!" He would sigh softly slowing down to turn around and pick her up." I swear..." He mumbled as she pushed her hood back her horns had ribbons on them that matched her hair. " Wee!" She exclaimed as he moved quickly again.
Cinder's spirit moved after her son, she had been following him for a while now. She often found her soul feeling as if it was in pain at what she would witness while following him. She thought perhaps the death he caused was the loss of her or his father's genes. Even though what he was doing she could not tear herself away. She felt if she was there she could keep him safe.

Lottie had made a squealing like noise when he said he had wanted to wait to present the puppy. She bounced a little as she took the puppy holding it close nuzzling her nose against the puppies. Nox tried to push further down into her bra now that a wolf was near him his heartbeat was fluttering fast. It seemed to have her as happy as she could be. She would place the dog on her hip reaching into her pocket she pulled out a box that was long like it held a necklace.
"Happy Yule" She shouted not pay attention to those around her. It only registered after she handed Casey the box. The smell of blood made her eyes dilate as fear washed over her. She would freeze in place holding the puppy close, it licked her face as the tears slipped down them. Nox smelled her fear as he shifted in her bra to look up at her blank face.

Pi had walked a few paces before smelling the blood she would retreat to behind Tia and Mateo her hand reaching out trying to find Tommy, she smelled the fear even outside the castle. Her eyes all most could see the scent like a colorful cloud. Slowly she would go behind him her heartbeat picking up a little the amount of smell coming from the castle had her terrified.
Voss would narrow his eyes at her as she walked ahead a little before letting out a little chuckle bending down to pick up a ball of snow. He would throw the ball at her it is light and fluffy and would explode when it hit dusting her with snow a little. " I am sure you will." He said sniffing the air seeing the reaction of some. He would keep his eyes on Sia raising a brow." If you're going to keep teasing me I just got to find a way to cool ya off huh?" It was him freezing up smelling the death looking over at Pie and then Lottie. He wanted to check on them both, but he knew if he went to comfort Lottie she might take that as a sign that she was in danger. He figured Casey had to prove himself eventually he would keep an eye on them both seeing if their boyfriends knew how to protect them.

Ro smelled the souls among the scents of death as he remained with Eliora, " As you wish my puppy." He said with a grin as he walked with her after Voss and Sia he took in the scent wondering what had transpired. He had no fear of what may have happened inside the castle, " Have you spoken? " He said referring to her children. He had hoped it would have been in a more private setting as he knew for some there might be some yelling.

Asvi merely smiled as they spoke to each other, seeing that his mother was like any other. Caring about her child long after they had grown. She remained on her knees in front of them. When his father spoke of his approval she could not help the small smirk that came to her face. Though it faded quickly when the king said his mate had the idea to eat here if not. She kept her eyes on the ground. Looking up seeing the feather she would gently take it. Hearing the Queen dragon speak she would smile to her but not fully. Rising from a kneeling position, pricking her finger she would dab the feather quill into it before she would write on her hand a symbol. When she approached the dragon's she seemed cautious before she would draw on Syrros scaled arm. She started to make her way to the large king but she would stop looking up at him. " You will not be able to defend your self as you do as a dragon. Your magic will not work here. " She figured he could do so physically. It was not something she was going to do without him being sure about it.

Alister looked down at her for a moment seeing her soul seem to question if she was or not. He would look around until she spoke of how she was as good as she could be. " I am happy. " Was all he said at first. " That is sad to hear, I hope that you can be happy without worry eventually." He did not freeze when he smelled the carnage at the castle. He knew that no one important to him was inside. Those were all around him for one reason or another.
Julian smiled as she began to explain those she knew, seeing Tempest reach them quickly slipped her arm linking it with Sarah's. She smiled even though her nose caught the smell of what every other person could. "Merry met my friend." She said to her with a smile at the remark of her being cold. " I can see your nose is bright." She said with a smile. It had Julian smiling even though he caught the wind of death it was something he was having trouble with. Not for his bloodlust but that he did not know how Sarah was going to react to the inside of the castle. "If I did not escort you my mother would be disappointed in me. And frankly, I would as well. I will not let some small rule keep me from you." He had listened to her about the man in the suit." Ah, father explained to me how you got here. " Was all he said not wanting to address that part further. "I am glad you are here." He did not want to say anything further on it seeing how it bothered her. Tempest would turn her attention to Sarah when she spoke." I am.."She paused before smiling big." I am well.." That is all she said about her time away from her homeland.
~*~
Sorinna slowed her approach seeing that the Carpathian was with two dragons and a woman. It was not long that it took Lupe to move beside her again." I am sure we could wait for him inside. Sorinna would smile." True. "Yet she didn't move as she was curious as to what was transpiring near them. Lupe remained by her side for the moment." It is rude to stare Sorinna." His voice sounding strained and tired. He had not wanted to come in the first place but they had told him it would be 'fun'. The smell of death had him turning his attention in the direction. It was not long before he was at Sorinna's side again." Be careful Sorinna." He said his voice a hiss of words.

Cardinal's interested expression turned into one of concern. During his time here he had never seen the Queen like this, all red-eyed and fangy. Not that he didn't think she could be like this (after all, she was the queen of the vampires). But it was a shock to say the least to see it when all he's ever seen is the males of the species turn this way. And to be quite frank, seeing such a soft-seeming woman such as Laina turn to this ... well, something really serious must have triggered it.
From the looks and sound of it, he thought as he watched Kagome and Crevan run ahead toward the castle, something did.
Turning his attention to Anya, he couldn't help but smile. Not a mischievous one like he usually wore, but a truly tender one that he only saved for certain people. Usually, he wouldn't even dare to show such emotion; in his time he's learned that it's easy to exploit people if one had access to those that were considered important to said people. And Jhaerithe was one of those people. With her in town he really had to make sure to watch his step.
"I wouldn't call you one if it weren't true," Cardinal said with a laugh, not minding one bit that she pressed closer to him. He stepped out of the way of anyone trying to get to the castle, bringing her with him with a gentle tug so that she didn't have anyone running her over. "I'm sure Sary-bear has told you that I can't lie."
Felicity shouldn't have been shocked when Alister picked up on her worry. In her time in Drethinov there was one person that she should always expect the unexpected from, and that was the demon that walked with her to the castle. She didn't think she was that much of an open book. After a few seconds, her oceanic eyes looked up at Alister and gave him a soft smile. "Thank you, Alister. That means a lot."
The witch didn't know what was going on exactly, not having registered everyone's presence when they first arrived. Navi had completely passed under Felicity's radar. She didn't have heightened senses like that of the vampires or the shifters that came tonight. However, seeing the Laina, Crevan, and Kagome go to the castle with looks of concern, bloodlust, and determination, she knew that something was going on. Alister didn't seem concerned. Then again, she didn't think that she ever saw him concerned for any reason.
That was when it hit her.
She didn't so much as smell the blood and death as felt it. It was in the air, crawling on the ground, whispering in her ears and suffocating her. She could feel her throat constricting, making her cough. Tears welled in her eyes suddenly; before she could blink them back they fell down her face in silent, rapid tracks. It was like her body grieved instinctively at the tragic loss of the witches inside, even though logically she didn't have any right or reason to grieve. Or that she wasn't even sure that what had happened was an absolute massacre. "Oh my gods," Felicity murmured hoarsely, bringing her hand to wipe at the tears. "What the feck?"
Sometimes, it was hard for her to separate her feelings from her master's. Usually when this happened it was either when she was least expecting it, his emotions were the most intense, or both. Tonight, as she had one of her friends and her ... suitor (she was still getting used to calling him that) on either side of her, feeling festive, Crevan's bloodlust hit her with the full force of a charging rhino. It caused her to stop suddenly. Her mouth salivated, tongue going over her teeth to make sure that she didn't grow fangs before she closed her eyes and did the mental exercise she created for such an event as this.
It only took her a few seconds, in which she was pulling herself away from Crevan like Velcro, before she returned to the present and forced herself to a state of calm. There was no need for her to stress or get scared when that could affect Crevan much as his bloodlust did her.
She didn't have to see the carnage or smell the pungent scent of death that wafted to her nose when the door to the castle was opened; much like Felicity, Sarah felt it more than anything. The difference was, Sarah didn't cry. She tried to force herself to remain in a state of serenity, but the anger she felt threatened to override the control she had.
Don't be rash. Don't be rash. Don't be rash.
With that as her mantra, she followed Julian and Tempest's lead, continuing their conversation and not acting like death was hanging over them like thunderclouds. She smiled a genuinely sheepish smile and felt her cheeks heat up at Julian's words. "I'm glad I'm here too," she continued, grateful that Julian didn't speak on her time before she came to the Isles. To Tempest, she gave a look of "that didn't sound too convincing". "Well, I'm glad."

Patience found herself ogling like the rest of the Carpathians when the dragons touched down, feeling immediate and genuine respect for them as she would any dragon on Benchizuno, the planet her dragon heritage hailed from. When she realized what she was doing, she pulled her gaze away to her aunt Felicity, who was looking up to the sky and blinking rapidly. Confused, she looked to the person that was escorting her, to her cousin Sarah who looked like she was fighting an internal battle, to the opened door of the castle.
She didn't have heightened senses, or an innate knowing, but instinct told her something was wrong and it had to do with Navi, the demon that had gone ahead of everyone. I'm sure this will be another reason tacked on to my list of why I don't mess with demons, she thought more to herself, but knew that Cian and Nemus would hear her thought.
For the briefest of moments, her gaze went to Cardinal. As if sensing that she was watching him, he looked up and met her gaze, emerald eyes glinting with an unspoken request: "don't say anything".
Patience didn't answer his request, but knew that she wouldn't say anything about the runaway minstrel or where he was hiding. It was no longer her problem. Instead, she turned her gaze back to the castle entryway, making no movement to get closer until Cian moved. Not that she was scared or anything, but she didn't bring her bow or any weapons for that matter; she wasn't about to get in anyone's way without being able to contribute to the problem.
***
The Constantines did smell the blood and death even before the door was opened. It wasn't the first time Nathaniel or Jewel smelled it, but it was for the quads. Jewel was nervous to say the least, but she was glad when she didn't have to yell for Hallie and Luc to stop where they were.
"Mom?" Luc looked back, turning to look back at her. Jewel's heart thumped painfully in her chest when she saw that he had the yellow of the Constantine side of the family bleeding into his irises. "Dad?"
"Everything is fine," Jewel reassured, though wasn't reassured herself.
