Snippet #1290071

Alan frowned, the other man must have been using some enchantment as well, that could make it difficult. Doing his best not to smile mockingly, Alan bowed deeply as the princess left and did a slight bow to her friends. The moment they were gone he was assulted by the verbal barrage from the other man, and before he could reply the man was gone,

Alan's hair burst in to flame for a second before he calmed himself, his eyes still filled with rage he raised his hands and shadows burst from around him before covering him, when they cleared a second later he was gone.
As Zakia walked the shadows thickened and no light would move it, a minute passed of the near utter blackness before out of nowhere Alan appeared holding invisible swords that had shining objects in whatever it was made of. Really the shadows just tricked the mind into thinking the swords were clear, of course he was really holding his katanas.

As the shadows cleared and the room an swords became visible again, Alan raised his head, his eyes shining with hate. His tongue darted around his lips more a second "You should not speak so boldly, you don't even know who I am, even if you know me as Lord Hunce you would be stupid to take on the leader of the wondering people. The truth is I could of killed him with ease, most people heard of the plague that killed most of the outlanders, a mere story really, to keep their dignity intact. Do not be so bold, just because you have a minor god on your side. I can smell his 'blessing' on you." Alan growled and he still hadn't sheathed his swords.

It must of been funny to anyone watching as the men did share a similar look, with only an inch between them and similar hair styles. Laughing slightly he continued "Can you smell the god on me? Or more accurately in me? I give you the warning to never threaten me again, and know that in this you are out of your league boy... Oh and I was not using sorcery, if I am correct that would be you and your gem."

Shadows started to condense around Alan again "Anyway, normally you only call someone alive if they have not been to hell or heaven yet, I've been to both." He disappeared. A couple minutes later he walked out of a hallway right next to Alexis, his weapons had disappeared again and his eyes were back to normal. Walking close to Alexis he caught the faintest whiff of a familiar scent, frowning he murmured to himself "Mother in law?"
Not looking at Alexis he waited for the princess to become available. He now wore a new scent, this one was for memory, in an attempt to keep him irresistible in memory as well as while talking to him, this was of course a bit less of an exact enchantment.

Bella did not as much as blink as the vampire drew her sword, but she did construct a air barrier, it would simply throw the sword off course if the vampire did strike.

Her smile was a greedy one as she noticed how interested the woman was in the plan, of course she had no real want to stick to the deal she was to make.

Making her face passive once more she studied the woman "I plan to invade the palace, with my brother to kill any guards we come across and myself for any mage. We need you because I have heard that there is a curse on the place castle that means no person of non-royal blood is able to draw a significant amount of blood from a royal without triggering, this would of made things much more difficult."

Waiting a moment she suggested her current plan "But that is secondary, if some other fool takes your cousins hand in marriage. If not, well, my brother will wed your cousin and poison the lot of them. No blood spilt, no harm done, you can then have your throne in return for help in getting the poisons in and getting them to eat the poisoned items."

Of course she had no need of the vampires services, blood was easy to taint and with the twins ability to shadow-walk getting items into the castle was very easy indeed.
