Lucas l pureblooded vampire l location-Emberelic, town l tagged-Alejandro/Adrian
It took all of five seconds for Lucas to react. Instincts or some other subconscious part of the male vampire's brain kicking into working order soon as the greeting left his companion's mouth. The dark haired male almost leapt towards Adrian, hand reaching out for his arm.

Alejandro "Duality" Himura/Adrian-
As soon as Lucas practically leapt at him he disappeared swiftly into the shadows, reappearing behind Lucas at the other end of the alleyway. " Now now. Is that any way to greet me after all this time? Honestly, I thought you would've retained some manners." He teased, leaning against one of the stone walls. " I'm surprised you didn't catch on years ago. Afterall, shadow travel is my power. Very few vampires share this power, and most of them are the ones I've created. Then again, I suppose you thought me long deceased. "

[wolfrunner]

"You were supposed to be." Something changed in Lucas. No longer was he the bold flirtatious gentlemenly young man who'd spent the day with the Emberelic Princess. No longer was he the bright youth who'd been having a simple conversation with a fellow sharing teasing banter and quips either. For the first time since arriving in Emberelic the dark haired male actually resembled his office and species. Voice cold and level, controlled. Eyes narrowed and emotionless as he turned around to face the vampire he hadn't heard or seen from in many many years. Body seemingly relaxed yet muscles below his skin tight like perfectly wound springs ready just in case. Mind already silently shifting through a million and a half scenarios and strategies. "Adrian Voss. I didn't think you'd succumbed but I didn't think you'd do this of all things...bind your soul to another. Yet it seems my assumption was correct after all."

The dark haired vampire hummed a bit as he just kind of stood there. He suddenly felt like he looked dumb. He shook his head and sighed, then nodded to his crush. “I...I’ll go with you,” he said with a secondary nod then. He hummed a bit more after speaking his answer. He then continued to stand there and waited for the other vampire male to lead the way.

Aria hummed as she carried the ginger tabby cat back home. She wondered if she should really go to his shop...tomorrow. She huffed and found her parents with a human. She drank with them then said “Lets go to bed Kyo,” and went upstairs.
(The human was unharmed, put on the boarder after)

The dark haired boy hummed quietly a moment, then sighed...He shook his head and looked down once more, at his lap of course. He only really heard parts of what she said, and just barely nodded. Yes, he remembered those men, some of which had been jerks...He shook his head once, twice. He huffed a bit then as he heard her...He also suddenly didn’t feel hungry, and couldn’t seem to figure out why. He sighed and only very simply nodded to the Queen.

Alejandro "Duality" Himura/Adrian-
" I must admit, it was close. You really were quite clever. I believe that playwright's play Julius Caeser is quite a fitting comparison. I was the might ruler, Julius Caeser. You, the dear friend, Brutus. And on the night my reign ended, the words I spoke to you were quite similar to Caeser's line- 'et tu, brute?'. However~" He smiled wickedly with Al's face, but the expression was all his. " You would be surprised to find the lengths a man will go to in order to preserve his life. I had thought maybe I would be able to pull through, but alas, you had fatally wounded me. Or, you would have...but I still had those loyal to me, even after the coup d'etat. They who had remained truly loyal and were closest to me still- they had done their best to help me, though it was in vain. So I told them my plan- to find a suitable host to reside in while I completely shut off my physical being. It would heal, over time, completely shut off. They would watch over it, keep it safe and ready for my eventual return. In the mean time, I would bide my time laying low in a suitable host, plotting and planning my revenge- and a way to reclaim my throne. I was in my last hours when dear little Al passed by. A strong-willed, healthy young man. Not bad looking either, I must admit. A perfect candidate. It wasn't like I had much time to waste, so I took my chances- and it worked. There for a while I was too weak to take control, but after enough time- I think it might've been after the incident in his home town- that I was able to take control for the first time. Quite a bit happened after that, and eventually I urged Al to Runemeth, mostly for me to gather Intel. The, somehow, you came along and befriended Al. For whatever reason surpasses my understanding- but you did- and I couldn't just push Al away. My host unfortunately needed some type of companionship, and I still needed him around as a cover. So I hid myself around you, though seeing you here of all places really got on my nerves- and somewhat on Al's, though I think that was merely because of that little queen of his- that poor idiot." he then looked down at his hands, using Al's power to create a little butterfly made of shadows, before letting it dissolve back from whence it came. '' But enough of my little tale. I have some questions, and I do hope you'll humor me. How does it feel, knowing that, essential, I am Al and Al is me? To know your close friend was hiding such a thing from you for so long? Part of it was his choice, you know. To not tell you he shared his body with another soul... but more so than that, I want to know two things: First of all, what do you plan to do with me now? I mean, you can't kill me without killing Al. You wouldn't really do that to the poor guy, he's been through so much already." He spoke with fake sympathy. " and you can't tell anyone- they will think you insane, believing the poor abandoned changeling is a former king. " Though he seemed distracted, he kept his senses alert for any movement from Lucas that could indicate an attack. " My second question- What, exactly, is your goal with the Emberelic princess? and don't worry, Al can not hear us right now. Though he is quite angry at me, I can still overpower him for the time being." That was true. He could spare the strength for now, but he needed to preserve it from here on out. He had checked in on his original form a short while back, and it was almost ready. But he needed the strength to make sure Al didn't get himself killed- he still would need him for a while after he got back into his own body. Plus he needed the strength to cleave the bind between their spirits. Not that such a bond can ever truly be severed, anyways.

---Akira Kurenai---
" Yes, but the elders only want you to wed someone of their choosing. This enigma that your head-over-heels for isn't of their choosing. " she took a bite of her food before continuing. " and I wouldn't say that this 'isn't the time' for finding the king- the elders are probably searching for a suitor for you right now. A time of crisis is exactly the time to unite two kingdoms- henceforth making the now conjoined kingdoms stronger. So, I'd be careful keeping him around- at least in the castle anyways. "

[wolfrunner]

Lucas scoffed closing his eyes as leaned against the opposite wall, one foot coming up to rest against it. "Don't treat me like a child by offering false praise. You know we are two of a kind when it comes to our inteligence Adrian. And you should really learn to watch your nervous ticks if you went through all that trouble.", said the male. Still Adrian possed good fair questions. Troublesome ones too.

"As far as Al goes I don't blame him for keeping something like you locked up and a secret from even a close friend. Who would want to admit they are harboring a mad vampire who saught the destruction of his own species?", the dark haired vampire asked before continuing, "However, despite you, I do actually like Al so here is my piece of advice for old times sake......don't do anything stupid Adrian. Because the moment your host is free from you is the moment I won't fail a second time. I'll be sure to end you. Keep that in mind." A pause before, "As for Akira? If you are so eager to know its simple but I'm going to be her and the prince's keeper once this plays out. I need to know where they are being sent first so I can swoop in and save the night from the army of monsters. I convinced the Crown their was usefullness in keeping some select humans alive and the heirs were the top of the list."

[wolfrunner]

"Do I really seem head over heels for him? You have had but one passing glance at him sister, and in a rage fit at that no less.", said Aralynn, "He is kind and gentle, I shall not let harm come to him as assuredly as I do my best to protect the two of you. The elders shall not discover his presence because none outisde this room shall know he walks these halls. Besides talk of marriage is silly for no king would want to wed the young inexperianced queen of a country in chaos. Now a young princess or prince is a different story. You both bear no chains to this country. You can be wisked to their stable kingdom while they still collect benefits from ours." After a moment the blonde turned Haruna, "I can not fault your romantic preferances Haruna."

The dark haired boy hummed quietly a moment, then sighed...He shook his head and let the ladies talk as they wished. He looked up as their titles were mentioned, his and Akira’s. He shrugged then nodded to Aralynn. He hoped whatever safe hold they were taken to was actually safe...He saw her look to him and blushed, saying “Thank you, sister.”

Alejandro "Duality" Himura/Adrian-
" indeed. Our intellect was rivaled by none but each other. On our own were wer powerful.... but when allied? We were unstoppable. We were partners in crime, the world was in our hands! Human women were easily fooled by our charms. Other vampires feared us! Anything we could ever gave wanted was within our reach...or it was, until someone decided to go solo." He spot the last part bitterly.
" A shame, really, that you ruined such a thing."

He frowned at the males words, both out of disappointment and of annoyance. " surely you do not jest I sought to let us die off? Most certainly not. I simply desire for only the strongest of us to survive- to help preserve our food source. Even if they do populate like rabbits. Too many foolish changelings and we will overpopulat or they'll slaughter too many humans. But we can't have weaklings if we are as a species too survive- those humans enjoy inventing gadgets and gizmos. If they come up with something new to harm u, we need the strength to fight back."

" nonetheless.. you underestimate me. It won't be easy to take me down. More so than you think. Though i.wont be giving away those details anytime.soon....
But, your intentions with the heirs intrigues me. Its so... no
on-malicious? What happened to the ruthless Lucas I used to know, who despised humans for what they did to him?"



---Akira Kurenai---
The.primvess frowned, signs of worry etched into her expression. Aralynn had a point. " Aralynn... surely it is not your intention to send us off to get..to.get betrothed? You woukdnt... right?"

[wolfrunner]

"I had considered it.", Aralynn admitted with a nod. It was true. She had thought of marrying off her siblings to powerfull families or perhaps even another kingdom to protect them...but quickly discarded the idea. The blonde wanted them to stay together and be happy as well as cared for and safe. Even if they were well cared for and safe, marrying them off like that wouldn't make them happy and it would further seperate their family. "But no. I intend to have us all back together again once this mess is cleaned up, marrying either of you off would ruin that chance as well as your happiness. I am simply sending you off for your protection. I'm responsible for your well beings and your well beings are directly connected to our people's future. I won't let the elders impose their wills on you two. Thats what I'm for. I am here so you two can have assured freedom from being pressed into such situations. I will garuntee it." After a pause, "I brought up marriage as a point saying I'm undesireable is all and won't so much as be betrothed, let alone wed."
