The vampires pressed in and not all of them seemed all that friendly, Vikari was particularly aggressive
Ambrose step back, we want to meet her, I for one wouldn't mind having a taste
It literally took seconds, for Keiko to transform and his massive paw to strike Vikari and send him flying
Ambrose took control, "As you can see my friend is very protective of Leena, if any of you would like to ask her something but with the respect she deserves I am sure we can avoid any further trouble"
Both Ambrose and Keiko saw her pull the incredibly unique pen from her bag. They knew the legend, how she could create or erase with a quick scribble of a picture or the writing of a couple of words.
Vikari was a bad man, Ambrose was disgusted by him. No flare, no style, none of the aspects he most admired in elders like Gregory. He was just a killer, overpowering those less strong and leaving bodies in his wake. But still what was she doing, and did she want to create this precedent here, now
Leena, I am not sure what you are planning, but think about what you are doing, we will support you, but are you sure you want to take this action?
A familiar voice rang out flooded with the true title age and power it held. Gregory looked at him.
Shall we put this simply. Leena shall be treated as if my daughter since she is of mine and Dyanna's blood is that clear? Leena dear enjoy your companions my dear
Gregory's control and power was impressive to witness. If Valkari had a tail it would have been squarely between his legs as he shuffled off on his way
Well I guess Gregory made it clear, at least to the Vampire community to keep away, except to be helpful
Ambrose was pleased as he knew Valkari was a vindictive SOB, so that was helpful. Keiko was still caught on something else
Leena, when we get to your house would you mind demonstrating how your magic works, what you can do with your pen?
They were eager to see what she would show them, her famous magic
They were also excited to get home and enjoy each other, so Keiko swept her up in his arms and a few seconds later they were at her door, she was laughing at the thrilling trip
Now you know what it feels like to run like a panther
She glanced around and finding a quill pen and paper from her things as well as tbe ancient ink well from the desk. Carefully she wrote as she whispered a strange language.
Her spell simple as she described her favorite evening snack and wine. Closing her eyes a soft sigh against the paper and the cheese platter and bottle of Chianti appeared as well as a glass of "Chianti soaked" AB negative
The blood would hold a familiar taste as if it had left her body passed through the Chianti and into his glass. Her body sinking a little more into the chair as she sat down.
It is not without its prices but few realize that.
He signale for Keiko to curl up on the ground to create warm bed for Leena
He kissed her on the cheek, "thank you" and then picked her up and gently laid her down so that she could curl into Keiko and rest
If that be the case, please save your magic for important things and do not waste it or hurt yourself at our expense...we are here to love and take care of you...never, ever hurt you
She was snuggled quickly drifting to sleep as she spoke. The more rare the magic the more cost there was to it sometimes especially if you only used it from time to time.
She knew here in this village she would be safer to keep in better shape magically and with Ambrose and Kieko to keep her safe this was home. The home she always sought but never truly believed existed till now. A smile gracing her lips lost to sleep and dreams
Keiko loved having them burrow into him, he could feel their hearts as the slept on his warm fur
There was something really nice here and he knew it...he had never really had a family
Were they lovers or family...or both...he purred as he realized they were both and it made him as happy and content as he could ever remember feeling...he had grown up hard, alone and rough,..yet he had emerged a gentle soul but could be ferocious if need be
He liked how they felt in his arms...he would protect them with everything he had...as they were all he had
She snuggled deep in his fur feeling safe and warm. Her sleep peaceful for the most part. A few si.end bouts of tossing and turning but no noise. She slept deep knowing she would never need to leave this village.
