[ORP]Morghains Territory

[Morghain]

OOC: Carried on from Here

Time had passed since Lucifers final death. Not a night went past where she didn't think of him, missing his presence and those odd little quirks that you don't take much notice of until the person is gone. She mostly missed him though when it was time to sleep. That was usually there time, where they talked about what they'd been up to over that night, about what they intended on doing the next night and inevitably, loved each other.

After she'd killed those who had failed not only to save Lucifer but hadn't even brought anything back by which he could be honored, she'd taken over the bonds to the Seethe, becoming Queen and Mistress to all those who had been turned by or sworn allegiance to Lucifer. They were now Oathed to her.

Their children still didn't quite understand that their Father would never come home but they were learning. Damien and Aegir were even more intent on becoming great army heroes so they could be like their Father. She felt Lucifer would be quite proud of his children.

She'd pretty much removed herself from public life, not returning to any council or any other positions. Her time was taken up enough running her home and working in her mill. She got out some, she'd adopted a daughter named Glory and the female, Tala had joined the Pack to an extent. She hadn't quite worked out why she'd allowed the two females to join her Family, they were..less than ideal. But she still had hope that her gamble would pay off.

She looked forward to the future, perhaps one day she'd even take another Mate...if she found one worthy of her and capable of being co leader to her Family. For now, she was happy milling and hunting. She'd changed the skulls over the gates that gave entry to her Territory a number of times. The same with those who graced the poles that stood along the path leading to the Manor. Without Lucifer to balance her, she'd lost a bit more of her humanity, becoming more feral...and maybe a bit more cruel too. For now, she would take life as it came, who knows what awaited around the corner.

[Morghain]

After spending a number of hours in her mill, Morghain decided to clean herself up and take a trip into town before going to the tavern. The creature, Korvus had earlier sent a messenger to inform her that the goods she'd ordered from him were ready to be picked up. It was useful for her to have another creature providing some of the materials she required to produce some of the items that came from her mill as well as a regular supply of milk for the children to enjoy.

When she arrived in the tavern, only Corvas had arrived before her. After a short time of conversation, her pretty little blood slave, Vadoma had come in. She was followed soon after by the Ninja, Faid, her cousin, Teide and the Druchii, Rieron. Thats when the quiet of the tavern had turned..not so quiet. After giving Morghain a bugbear heart and telling her the story of the kill, Teide had complained about how crazy it being so peaceful and quiet it was making her. Morghain mentioned that Corvas had earlier said much the same thing. Those two started slinging insults and magic at each other while Morghain and Rieron began a conversation that would soon deteriorate into a heated "debate" about the fact that Vadoma had allowed herself to become a bloodslave.

She'd been very proud of how Vadoma had handled herself but she'd lost some respect for the Druchii as all she'd heard from him was that he felt that Vadomas choice reflected badly on his mates race. By the end of it, it became apparent that Rieron had a rather misplaced view of her. Poor male, she wondered if their friendship would survive such a shock to his sensibilities.

[Morghain]

A new day had come and once again, Morghain was feathers deep in wood chips as she made more parchment. She was looking forward to finishing this order, getting wood chips out of her hair and feathers was not one of the most enjoyable things to do but it was sadly one of those things that came with the job.

She'd put in an order to have a batch of wheat brought to her which would replenish her quickly dwindling supply. As she works away, she can not help but think about how settled and respectable she'd got. She didn't even go out to hunt her prey so much now day, not since acquiring her blood slave. She was getting old and lazy, soon she'd be getting fat too if she did not get her feathers shaking.

With this in mind, she decided that when she'd completed her days work, she would gather the Seethe and the Pack so that they could do a run of the boundaries of their Territory. Having the Captain doing a majority of the training of her fighters, she had let her own fighting skills get rather lax. She looked forward to having the chance to put her fighters through their paces. Some of them were starting to look like they wanted to make a go at her,this would be the perfect time to put them in their place and possibly cull out those who were unsuitable. Yes...that would be the perfect way to complete the day.

Having decided on this plan, she continued with her work with a greater spring in her step and a smile on her face.

[Victorious]

Victorious came home from her office and headed to her Cousin's house with her wife. She had an intense experience with Saela forcing her to acknowledge who she was and it was rather violent once she forced her hand. She wanted to tear her to shreds. Saela threatened her that she would force her to go to Morghy's vampire bootcamp but Victorious was sure Morghain wouldn't have allowed it but things later transpired where Morghain asked her to meet her at the boundaries of her property.

She was quite nervous about what was going to transpire. As they reached the boundary, she looked at her wife, "Are you sure about this?"

[SaelaV90]

Sae was tired of starving and not being able to get full no matter how much she ate because her mate refused to accept she was a vampire and feed when she was hungry. Their bond made it so they felt everything, so she knew when Vic had fed and when she hadn't. She was gaining weight from the amount of food she was eating everyday to try and get full which made it harder to her day to day activities when she was constantly eating. It had been over a year since Vic had begged her to become a vampire and their cousin, Lucifer, had turned her. She had told Vic she didn't want to be a vampire but Vic had insisted so she told her she could so long as Lucifer was the one to turn her. A year of forcing her to feed and she was fed up it was time she accepted who and what she was, she figured Morghain, their other cousin and Lucifer's widow, was the best choice to get Vic to accept it. So now they were standing at the boundary of her territory. The wolf in her was tempted to pee and mark her territory but she held back that urge as she didn't want Morg to beat the tar out of her as she was still in the dog house for peeing on Morg's feet the other day. She pulls from her thoughts and looks at Vic when she speaks to her

I am very sure about this. I am tired of you fighting what you are as it is now affecting me with the strengthening of our bond these past few months. Look how fat I am from over eating!

[Victorious]

Victorious listened to her wife and chuckled, "Well you're not as skinny as me." She waited there at Morghain's boundary to her land. She probably knew if anyone could help her it was Morghain because she didn't put up with anything with her. Victorious found her cruel at times but in a way Victorious understood because that was just the way her cousin was. She still would get hurt by her comments but she would just have to get over it.

She knew her wife was serious about her accepting her role as a vampire but if her cousin would accept her than she would follow her directions but she kinda knew she wasn't going to like it much.

She smiled at her wife and just waited for someone to appear.

[Captain]

Those guarding the perimeter of their Mistresses land had informed him that an unfamiliar vampire female stood at the boundary with her servant. They'd stealthily shadowed the pair and now he watched the pair, seemingly unnoticed. As he listens to them speak, he is most surprised. This was the Mistresses cousin?

He'd served under the Mistress' Mate and had held some opinions about their previous Master that he'd never share with the Mistress or any of the rest of the Seethe. Seeing this female confirmed some of his opinions. Such a different creature from his Mistress.
After a moment, he stalks lithely forward, hand upon the hilt of his sword. He'd been a soldier in life, and though he now had the weapons of claw and fang, he was still a master of the sword and so carried his around with him.

He could regularly be seen crossing swords with the others, including occasionally with the Mistress. Ah what a beauty she was to behold.

He returns his attention to the women who have dared present themselves for his Mistresses pleasure. He stops exactly upon the border and stands staring at the females. His confidence in himself and his position lending him an air of arrogance. He waits for them to notice his presence, silently counting the moments as they pass.

[SaelaV90]

Sae was just about to comment on Vic's weight when she smelled another vampire but couldn't see it yet. When he finally made his appearance she turned to him, naturally purple lightening began to roll along her skin, it wasn't something she was able to control of late. She subtly moves herself between the man and her mate eying him up he had his hand on a sword. Out of instinct she draws an arrow to her bow and has it in place fairly quickly. She was an expert archer and could shoot a target with her eyes closed, she finally greets the man who makes a shiver run down her spine.

Greetings, we are here to see our cousin Morghain. I smelled this was the boundary line and will not cross it without her permission as I rather not end up being her new area rug..then again I am hard to kill even though I was sure I would die when Lucifer did as he had part of my soul which gave him life as a babe.

Realizing she is blathering she shuts up and waits.

[Victorious]

Victorious felt another presence coming near and as her defensive instinct kicked in she began to glow brightly. She then gripped the hilt of her golden sword that her mother had given her as a gift when she was first marrried. She was not afraid to use it if this man provoked her. She watched him carefully as her eyes grew darker.

With strength in her voice standing behind Saela, she looked at the man, "My cousin has asked me to come visit her. Please inform her that Victorious and Saela DiCarpietra have arrived." She continued to observe the man not letting her guard down at all.

[Captain]

He is mildly impressed that it appears the other female is the first to notice his presence, rather than the vampire as one would expect however, she ruins this modicum of respect by giving an over reacted display of power when no immediate threat had been given. He barely conceals a look of disgust, none within the Seethe would ever shame the Mistress with such a lack of control or confidence, such a mistake had cost the life of more than one of their Kin as the various members played for power and position within the Family.

As he watches her, the clues she gives as to her identity come together and are then confirmed with her introduction. He thinks quietly to himself, "Ah, so this is THAT cousin."

After all the loud and heated discussions he'd heard between the Mistress and the old Master, he was surprised the female was still alive, let alone invited to visit the Heart of the Seethe. Perhaps the Mistress felt that one was not her problem and beneath her to kill or she saw something redeemable in the creature that he wasn't wise enough to see yet.

He is even less impressed by the vampire female. A mortal he could forgive such a reaction, but from a vampire, it was near unforgivable. No vampire worth their fangs would ever show their reactions to the unknown so overtly, this creature had no notion of subtlety. They both reminded him of the pups when they tried to intimidate everyone else by bristling themselves up to appear bigger...they were both as impressive as the pups too. He himself shows no reaction to their display although he makes very subtle and almost invisible shifts to prepare himself for the possibility of battle should the females panic for some reason.

He lifts his brow as the vampire female seems to have the gall to expect the Mistress to come to them, as though she were the inferior. She obviously did not have any idea of vampire etiquette. He informs the females in a deep, smokey voice that has seen years of yelling at soldiers of how things would proceed.


"You will follow me and you will be escorted to the Manor where you will await the Mistresses pleasure. Until she gives you guest right, you are here under sufferance and your lives forfeit should you be deemed a danger to the Mistress or her Young. Control yourselves, there has been no threat to your lives."

He turns immediately and begins to walk back towards the Manor, expecting that the females will follow if they wish to see the Mistress. If they do not, they are welcome to stand there til the sun consumes itself. He would inform the Mistress of their presence but he doubted she'd stir herself from her home to collect them.
