He stood still, the shadows cast over him by flames flickering since the creation of this room. This was HIS creation, his room. He began to walk slowly, up and down the rows of his trophies, his most prized possessions... Amongst these weapons were entities of legend...
Longinus, Gungnir, Durendal, Masamune, Mjolnir, Excalibur, Aegis, Caladbolg, Shamshir... Even the Sickle of Cronus.
Yet, he lacked the one which he desired most.
Vuthiel, sword of Lucifer himself. He knew what it looked like, yet had never seen it. He harboured a desire for this weapon akin to his desire for the mask itself... And soon he would have both. He turned on his heel with a sudden flare and stormed from the room, making his way downstairs and into the hall.

Luna stepped through the huge ebony doors, the rain outside falling so hard it almost hurt. She was glad to finally be out of it. She removes her dripping cloak and throws it over a nearby desk, taking a moment to enjoy the sound of the rain hitting the glass dome overhead with dramatic force. Luna smiles to herself, feeling the warmth and safety of the palace, this place, after all, was her home. She spots her Lord descending the stairs and quickly grabs the sodden cloak she had carelessly discarded. After hanging it up she turns to him, wide purple eyes scanning him for his mood. He was restless, that much was obvious...
Luna stands there, unsure of how to comfort her master. 'What are you thinking of?' She asks instead, tone flat and expression blank...

Draxus looks to Luna as he heads towards the grand doors, his eyes ever flickering with the visage of his home realm.
"Luna..."
He stops and turns slightly towards her, his posture relaxing a little as he gives her a slight smile.
"Luna, my mind is a void, all I can think of is Lucifer and his artifacts... They're so close, some are in Midian and yet I know not where."
He sighs and walks towards her, coming close and touching his hands to hers. He closes his eyes and breathes.
"Once again however I fail to keep you. My designs take over and I yearn for more power, and yet I made a promise to you, a promise I am failing to keep. I do not tell you enough, perhaps never have, that you are mine, that you have my protection and my love, that you will be safe always until I can take you with me, to where I, and in turn you, will inevitably go... And I had never realised soon enough what I do now. You have my trust, and as such... Will you help me?"
He bows his head and moves to one knee, his hand still in hers. Slowly he moves his gaze back to hers, a smile on his usually cold lips.
"Help me, I will give you the power to do so. With what mask I do have... I have seen what will happen, that your fate is bleak unless I act now, and act I will. Help me to achieve what is rightfully mine... Rightfully ours."

Luna shuddered at his touch, a rush of hot and cold racing up her spine, loathing and lust intermingled for the being before her. She simply stares at him, the perfect outline of his face, the beautiful frame of black silken hair. The visage of an angel were it not for the inferno that roared beyond his gaze.
Luna is at a loss for words, drifting and drowning in the sudden display of affection. "I am yours" She says at last. "Ever devoted, yours to command" Her heart was pounding, pumping the words from her lips before her mind even had a chance to object. This was a foolish, but it was all she wanted. To stand by her Lord until existence itself collapsed. "I would help you with anything, without doubt or questioning..."

Khailyn traipsed the long path that wound up the hill, snaking its way to the palace ahead. As she pushed open the huge doors to the lavish luxury beyond, her eyes fell instantly on the two beings gathered in the hall. At once Khai beamed at them, if not a little awkwardly. The inhabitants of the palace had an air about them that seemed to suggest they could fly into a rage at any second!
'Evening' She nods to them as she passes. The purple eyed girl seemed particularly infuriated by her intrusion, her glare boring into Khai as she made her way for the stairs. She suddenly hoped Peregrin could use that staff of hers as a form of defense just in case the girl was looking for a confrontation...

Peregrin recognised instantly the hall as soon as she stepped foot into it. 'It cant be...' she thought to herself. She knew she was in the place of eternal midnight but to be back here...
Flashes of green....pain...wisdom...howling....anger....wings....fate....
She shook her mind back to now and looked upon the two Khai seemed to have interrupted. Again, she recognised them both.
'Luna?' Peregrin tilted her head slightly as she adjusted to the surroundings.
It had been a long time since she had seen that face. Infact the same facial expression of mild annoyance too. A shiver fell down her spine as she looked at the gentleman with the sleek long black hair, reminded her of the one they called Damien.
Peregrin stepped up behind Khai just to assure her she was there.
Not that she was a well known friend of Peregrin's, but she considered Luna an aquaintance. She was hoping that Luna and Draxus recognised her (as it really had been some time) and would back down with the atmosphere they had just created with Khai's arrival.

Draxus spied the two as soon as they appeared afar from he and Luna, and watched Khai as she made her way towards the stairs.
A human. Just a human. Fearless or stupid? Was it not a human said to have the sword he required?
He turned and kissed Luna's forhead lightly, before leaving her side, moving toward Khai, a glance to Peregrin before speaking.
"Human, Khailyn wasn't it? A word."
His eyes narrowed, flashes of red within them, his emotionless face remaining like carved marble. He would acquire this sword today, he could feel it.

Luna closed her eyes as the kiss from her master touched her skin. When she could open them again he had left her to speak with the girl, Khailyn. She watches them closely, the human with that stupid vacant smile as if all was perfect and happy around her. What brought the flash of a grin from Luna's own dark lips was the behaviour of Draxus, he was aggitated at the human, angry and in no mood for games.
Luna cocks her head, shifting the silky mass of her black hair. She glances to the other woman, a spark of recognition brightens her eyes but she says nothing, her Lord was far more interesting for now. This would be amusing...

Khai stops in her tracks as the Demon approaches her. She turns to face him with a withering sort of smile. There was fury beyond those eyes, Something wasn't right...
"A word? Just the one? That would be a very short conversation" Khai laughs nervously, feeling for her ponytail and running her fingers through the hair "Which is just as well--haha--we're sort of in a hurry"
Oh god, did that seem rude?? "But I have time for your word, of course!" She adds hastily, subconsciously moving back a little from the heat of his glare. Had she offended him? Khai hoped to whatever god looked down upon this place that her assumption of the palace guests was entirely wrong. That they never flew into a rage and were most agreeable creatures... Something about the manner of Lord Draxus told her that really wasn't the case...

Peregrin watched Draxus as he moved in her and Khai's direction. He appeared calm yet there was something not right about his aura. She could sense urgency, a thirst, like a vampires craving for blood. She gently put her hand on Khai's shoulder as she backed up. Instinctively clutching her staff a little tighter at the same time. 'We've only just arrived...' she thought to herself, and let out a silent sigh. 'I'm sure whatever needs to be discussed can be done sat down and over a hot cup of something. We have travelled long and hard.' She let out simply, hoping it would distract the attention of the hunter. 'I remember a warm cosy fireplace from my last visit?' She added on a lighter note. If this didn't work at least it gave a moment for her to judge their reaction and think what to do next.
She took a glance at Luna. Something had changed in her. Like a light fading... Or perhaps the hue darkening.

What was this human saying? She made no sense. Nervous? She knows she hides that which is his.
It had to be, it must be her - the human of which Khellesi spoke.
Draxus looks to the other now, forcing a calm over himself. He had searched an eternity, and now that his prize was within reach he was not about do falter, not about to lose himself in desire.
The other female he had seen also, but her words were lost in his roaring mind.
"Luna... See to the young woman whilst I speak with the human girl."
His fiery gaze shifts back to Khai, his eyes narrowing as he breaths a little deeper. It wasn't on her, for certain, he would need to obtain its location. He was not created to charm.
"Vuthiel... His sword... You have it. It is rightfully mine and I ask that you return it."
His stance was that of a statue, unmoving, and in his determination he produced an aura of threat. He could not maintain his calm for long, the information must be his sooner rather than later.

Luna opens her mouth to begin her protest, but thinks better on it. She turns to the tall, almost elven looking woman and forces her snarl into a smile. She recognised the face, but from where she couldn't place...
Luna walks to the door on her left and holds it open. "The Lord of the Deviant's Palace requests that you come with me" She says "Don't worry, it's just the dining room" Luna adds with a roll of her eyes, to discourage any worries the woman might have. After all, it certainly wasn't this woman that had anything to worry about. As Luna departs she glances back to her master as he questions the human, something in his tone sends a shiver down her spine and again she turns her eyes to the human's companion, warning her not to stay...

Khailyn feels the gentle thud of the cold wall behind her. She had backed up too far... She glances toward Peregrin a little frantically but forces a nervous calm to take over... What was the Demon talking about, Vuth--something? Khai feels her brow grow wet with perspiration, she wasn't portraying herself entirely ignorant to the Demon's request and his anger was beginning to show. She tries to calm down, to prove she is innocent of whatever accusation.
"I really don't know what it is you are after... But if someone has taken something that belongs to you, I'll gladly help you get it back..." Khai attempts a smile. It takes all her efforts not to stammer...

Peregrin looked at Luna as she walked past, encouraging her to follow. But she did not want to. 'I am here as Khai's guardian' she said casually. Aggitated by the ignorance displayed at her being there, she wasn't really going to play ball. She listened to Drax's request of Khai and understood none of it. Peregrin didn't like the urgency in the demons voice, and certainly didn't trust his temper.
She paused for a moment as Luna walked out of the room, and decided it better she didn't cause a fuss for Khai's sake. Glaring at Drax she started to walk in the direction Luna went. 'Shout me if you feel necessary Khai. I'm only in the next room' She said quietly, still staring at Drax. Turning quickly she followed Luna.

Draxus feels burning behind his eyes, rage building and forcing physical flames from his sockets, his eyes blood red beneath.
"Suspicious..." He begins grating his teeth together, fangs elongating slightly as he holds back any further changes.
"Your manner reveals you... You are its wrongful keeper."
Her smile angers him.
"Odd that you would offer to help my search, yet you claim to not know of the blade, you do not know me. You would task yourself to a stranger? Suspicious indeed human. Tell me where the blade is and I won't feed your soul to the screaming dogs of Hell."
His ethereal blade appears in his hand and he thrusts it past her face into the wall behind, an exact millimeter from her flesh. It sinks into the stone like butter, a cold ringing traveling the blade and into his arm.
His eyes flare as he leans in close to Khai, nose almost touching hers. His voice takes on a strange reverberating nuonce...
"I command you to take me to the blade."
He twists his sword in the wall threateningly, dust falling onto the polished floor. He would kill her soon and torture her in Hell.
