Marcus Cole
*having finished our mission to recover our daughterRosalind Cole, the whitestar drops out of hyperspace and approaches the planet Halvalia, given the coordinance by Anya Rhau-Nys D’Vorich, we fly to our new home, i look at my wife Ysidra Cole, smile at her* looks like we are home, i maneuver the ship to land on one of the floating islands*
Ysidra Cole
Well I have to say it’s quite different to Sesarilon, but I’m sure I’ll get used to, as long as I’m with you and Rosalind, then I’m at home *I smile at you as I pick Rosalind up in my arms* Well I guess we’d better go and explore our new abode.
Marcus Cole
*knowing anya she prolly have a bunch of crazies running around this place i swear if any crazies here ill beat there ass throw them out, takes out mt gatlin gun* just in case *loads it* lets go explore, maybe we should keep rosalind on the ship till we know its safe?
Ysidra Cole
I agree, I’ll just settle her down *I take Rosalind through to Hattie, telling her we’ll return for her soon, I kiss her before returning to Marcus* Right, I’m ready, if there’s ass to kick I want in on it too *I grin at you*
Marcus Cole
*points my ass at you grins playfully* ok ready *programs the door to open we walk out of the whitestar, not sure what to expect only that this is our new home, the ship comm chanels are open, and a few of the holographic crew are onboard the ship, as we start walking around, place very unique as tho the islands are floating*
Ysidra Cole
*I glance at the main large building looming up before us* There appears to be a bridge over to the main house, if that is what it is *I start walking in that direction, then stop and turn round* As you’ve got the big gun, maybe you should go first, not saying I’m a coward or anything, but…I’d rather be behind you *laughs*
Marcus Cole
its alright once i programm a target the bullets will only shoot at that target, they would manuver themselves around your body so yer safe, but yeah you scan ill shoot *grins, as we start walking to the main building*
Ysidra Cole
Well I feel much better knowing that, though if you don’t mind, I’ll still stay behind you *I open my mind and start to scan the area* Scanning could be difficult, I’m getting a lot of inteference, must be this green mist, whatever it is, at least it doesn’t smell as bad as it looks.
Marcus Cole
*scans the area* there are interesting power signatures everywhere, i think its compatable, ill have the holographic engeneers on ship start planning on installing our security measures we had on our home on seserilon, but you know what im going to enjoy it here i think *as you can tell after we survey the property ill ant to feed, thinking of rosalind i look at my wife* so have you senced when she will show her vampire instincts i had a dream of her and lukas playing togethr as goo friendsso at least she will have a friend here, and anya does seem respectful, nothing how darth describes her.
Ysidra Cole
I think I’ll get used to it here too, there’s nowhere else we can go anyway, it was good of Anya to offer us a home here, I do wonder what the others are saying about our decision though, but in a way I feel we’ve always been outsiders, I’m not saying I fully trust Anya and Zagan, I don’t really trust anyone but you, so I’ll be keeping a close eye on them. At least we have the whitestar if we have to leave in a hurry, as for Rosalind, I don’t think we’ll know how strong her vampire instincts are for a while, she needs to grow her fangs first… *I sense something moving out of the corner of my eye, but it’s so quick I don’t get a chance to see what it was* Did you see that Marcus, over there just to the side of the doorway.
Marcus Cole
*using my enhanced scanners i detect a cloacked creature walking towards us i get a lock on it* tell us who you are and what you want, your trespassing on my home and i should blow you right to hell *as i recntly upgraded the weapon with help of henry to affect creatures of darkness, and did almost kill zagan and darth with it once*
Jessica Stone
*Unknown to Marcus and Ysidra the ghosts on the Whitestar have formed a connection to Princess Jessica, who is still a wild card.*
Marcus Cole
*unknown to jessica the connection to those spirits, form a direct link to Anya Rhau-Nys D’Vorich as she is in control over those spirits, and sees everthing on the ship*
Belzald
*I decloak and grin at Marcus and Ysidra* Good to see such sharp reactions, impressive, but I don’t think blowing me to hell would work, considering I’ve spent most of my life there, I am Belzald, an ancient demon who guards Anya, Zagan and their son Lukas, as I have guarded many generations of the Rhau-Nys Clan *I extend my wings briefly, as I am prone to impressing people when I first meet them*
Marcus Cole
*nods respectfully and lowres weapon, looks around* we are both new here but we are here to report to anya and work for her, im just wanting to make sure no unwanted guests are here until i install security, as you protect your clan i protect my vampire family, but we are all friends so thats a good start Looks around to all the other islands* does anyone live there or on this island fortress *can sence he doesnt want others snooping he and ysidra are rather private people*
Belzald
Anya told me to meet you here and to let you know that she will see you after you’ve had time to settle in to your new home, I think you might be pleasantly surprised when you see inside. No one else lives here, but it is really only this main building that is currently inhabitable, it is up to you if you wish to expand into the other buildings. *I glance at your gun* You certainly won’t need that, I personally arranged for the entire property to be checked, every last inch, it is perfectly safe for you and your daughter. So unless there is anything else you need from me, I shall leave you two to explore.
Marcus Cole
yes thank you, i see why you are so highly respected here you very loyal to Rhau-Nys clan, perhaps one day we shall be in your clan if we can proove ourselves *i contact ship and rosalind is transported in, i pick her up as she looks at belzald* perhaps if you and lukas would care to visit im sure children get along *as i sence how eagar to explore rosalind is as well*
Belzald
*I reach out and take hold of Rosalind’s tiny hand* She is beautiful, reminds me of when Anya was a baby, I can sense Rosalind is going to be very powerful when she grows up, I have a natural instinct for such things. Of course Anya was a special child, being born in death, but enough of that, I must be going, and yes I believe Anya is eager for Lukas to meet Rosalind *I extend my wings and prepare to take flight, remembering to mention to Anya that Marcus’ is interested in joining the clan* Goodbye, we shall meet again soon *I cloak myself as soon as I take flight and disappear into the swirling green mist*
Marcus Cole
(rosalind) *waves bye bye at belzald* (marcus) *hands rosalind to ysidra, puts weapon away* shall we go inside our new home *smiles as we explore the home, the huge doors open for us inside marble floors, plantlife, very highly decorated*
Ysidra Cole
*holding Rosalind in my arms as we wander around, I’m taken aback by the sheer splendour of the place* I wasn’t expecting anything like this from how it appears outside, I thought our place on Sesarilon was vast, this is absolutely palatial…I am certainly going to feel at home here *Rosalind gurgles as if in agreement*
