Mischievous Earth, Seeps within.
We are strung by arrows,
But still we fight.
Side by side,
We stand our ground.
Determined not to fall,
To the Underworld.

Hell can come,
But we wont care,
For we already fight its master.
We will fight,
To the death.
We are the same,
My sister and I.
But we fight our opposite.

Earth and Air,
Side by side.
As they stand,
Hands raised high,
Asking of their Goddesses.
A whispered prayer,
A flash of light.

Dust stirs in the night,
In the place where two once stood,
Four now stand together.
Sharp rock in the wind,
Swords flying to their foes.
A muffled cry,
A sullen thunk.

Clarity engulfs,
Earth, Air, Spirit, and Life look down from above.
Blinding Earth,
Blown by Wind.
Heart and soul are penetrated,
With dusty Wind and blown forth Earth.
None might accomplish,
But none might fail.

A City of Evil


Long Beach, California. Home to a very new House of Night, only a few weeks old, new Fledglings are already being Marked, and everything is going great, there are plenty of Professors and the Fledglings have been pretty well behaved, though there has been a ton of Sons of Erebus on guard, as (this takes place during Tempted) the High Priestess of all Vampyres has been killed during her trip to the Tulsa House of Night, and they know exactly what's been happening and their High Priestess has been worried.


A far cry from innocence...

Now, two special Fledglings have been Marked - twins (Though they aren't related...And are just about to meet). They have been extremely gifted by the Goddess - and not just Nyx! They have received gifts from two other Goddesses as well they go by the names Fae and Kaywinnit. Fae has been gifted by Gaia, the primal Greek Goddess of Earth and Kaywinnit has been gifted by the Greek Goddess of Air. Now, they have only just been Marked and its their first day so they have no idea they have been gifted so kindly by the Goddesses, oh - and their new friends have also been greatly gifted!


There's more than meets the eye 'round here...

Now... Some not so happy news. There yet another 'bad guy', he's an ancient Demon Lord (kinda like Kalona only he isn't a bird boy...), he was once a Vampyre... Who went mad, he murdered his High Priestess, preserved her body, when Nyx saw what he had done she was horrified and angered. He only got worse and worse... Killing Fledglings, Professors... Even humans. One day, he suddenly dropped dead because he poisoned himself, and he became ruler of the Underworld, keeper of the lost souls, now he wants to come back to earth, and he has been whispering to one particular Professor... Now seems to be the right time. Long Beach seems to be the right place.


Here's a brief thing about the House of Night vamps.

Okay, first off these vampyres do not dissolve in the sunlight, but it is painful, and all the classes at the school are held at night.

The fledglings are Marked by a sapphire blue crescent moon on their forehead, which fills in, and extends down to their cheeks, which are not all the same, they are all unique.

Older fledglings and adult vampyres need to drink small quantities of human blood and do not attack humans. (Fledglings are allowed to test out blood drinking by drinking from another fledgling.) Also, the taking of blood from a human can be very intimate, and can often result in an Imprint, forming a bond with the human and vampyre.

Also fledglings have to be around adult vampyres or else they die.

A few fledglings cannot survive the Change, their bodies reject it, and they kind of drown in their own blood.

At the House of Night the vampyres worship a Goddess named Nyx.

Some Vampyres have a affinity, a gift from the Goddess, like the affinity for fire, water, air, earth, or spirit. Only has there ever been one fledgling with an affinity for all five elements.
