Elena DubBryan 10:11 pm
It is dark and the night is clear. The DubBryan's Estate is empty and only Elena walks the halls of the old, old house.She walks down the grand stair case and enters the foyer room. Its large with dark drapes that keep out the light. They've been drawn back to let in the night air. She walks past them and stares off into the night for a moment. Then she continues on to a hidden panel.
She draws the statues base to the side and moves over towards the now opening fireplace. It slides out of the way as a door is cracked. There she enters a hidden sub-basement. Where another person knew into town is awaiting a meeting.

Andrew Pandoral 10:15 pm
Andrew walked down the dimly light tunnel. He had just arrived to this place and was told to meet with a certain woman... Elena... to speak with her about assisting with the war effort. He had done well to keep his talents hidden from the others he had met.
Pausing at the last turn, Andrew briefly surveyed the scene before walking into the sub-basement chamber, looking up to see Elena arrive just as he had. "Good evening, Elena I presume?" He said, bowing low for a moment but keeping his eyes trained on her. Quite... intriguing.

Elena DubBryan 10:19 pm
Elena walked very carefully, the smell of his human blood-line still lingered in his new vampire body. He wasn't pure-blood... but she did sense the magi power in him. It was a kind of un-natrual instinct. He was handsome, and young, very young compared to herself. He bowed and kept his eyes on her.
Smart to. She thought. Even though his futile attempt to try and 'watch' her was cute, she still moved five times faster than him, but she played along. "Andrew." She said in her old-english soft proper with a hint of brit accent. "Welcome to the DubBryan Estate. I trust you haven't been ill treated whil-st you've been my guest here?" She looked contemporary.. but her mannerisms and way of posture told other wise.

Andrew nodded as he rose from his bow. "Indeed, your servants have been most gracious." He spoken, a obvious hint of a south African accent showing it's colors from his speech. "However, it is an honor to finally meet the mistress of this estate."
"To what do I owe the privilege?" He inquired, assuming a more casual stance. She was by far more powerful then he was, but he never went anywhere anymore without being prepared, and magic had it's benefits.

Elena DubBryan 10:30 pm
"You've obviously are fresh to the night....no vamp can hide ones intentions from another. No matter how old of new acquaintances them may be." She stroked the walls of the dungeon and looked at her hand, for a moment going back to who knows when of a memory then dusting her hand off she looked him straight. " I respect you for being able to stay alive this long, most turned cant handle what they become with a week or so. But your different, which surprises me. I cant predict... different and thus you intrigue me."
She turned to face the stairwell..... "So there be no need to kill you, the dark-basements will not hold no more hidden sabotage now that i am ..... in charge." She ended with another thought, maybe of her loss....
"Come, join in upstairs in the Library, I think you should see something."

Andrew Pandoral 10:34 pm
"Indeed, vampires are a... intriguing race as well." He stated as he followed Elena up the stairs and into the library. As they walked he marveled at the grandeur of the mansion. Obviously centuries of wealth lay here.
They arrived in the library and Andrew went to the window, looking out into the night for a moment, waiting for Elena to speak or reveal what it is he should see.

Elena DubBryan 10:37 pm
She walked over towards one of the many tall, filled shelves and looked it over. She had memorised every book and everything had stay where it was. Un-like her mother whom kept things as they were for the sake of order, she found new and unplanned more...stimulating. She drew out a heavily used, old book.
"I think you should know about where you come from. I have a feeling your more than what was told...I dont know how or why you were turned but I have a feeling." She paused
"A feeling it was for a reason. That you might ....may have been something important to the magi's. But now that your in the club, your more important to us now." She held out the book for him to take.
Andrew Pandoral 10:43 pm
Andrew looked at the old book for a moment and took it in his hands, feeling it's weight for a moment. His hand brushed against hers as he took the book and he had an inward smile for a moment before opening the book and looking it over.

Elena DubBryan 10:45 pm
"This is the towns original registry and what land was bought and sold. The most powerful of heritage lines. You might find a name you know." She moved over and let him be in the moment with the book, hoping he'd catch on to what was going on. She went over to the window and looked out.
*
Andrew Pandoral 10:57 pm
He read through the registry and transactions quickly, looking over the names and family names of each. After a few deathly quite moments, he nodded slowly. "A lot of, familiar names within this book. Seems that this town was home to more then just vampires, wouldn't you say?" He said, looking up from the book to Elena.

Elena DubBryan 10:59 pm
"I should know. I was here when there were more ferreal animals than redboxs around here." She smiled.
"Anything besides something other than a large group of travelers from no-where, catch your vampiric eye Andrew?" She raised an eye over towards him.
*
Andrew Pandoral 11:03 pm
"Nothing in particular catches my vampiric eye. Your name is here. My family name is here. Seems that they owned the estate not too far from here..." He said, seeming to drift into a previous thought for a moment.
Suddenly the room became much darker. The lights dimmed and it seemed as though the world seemed to hold in place for a moment. Lettering within the book began to glow brightly and it bore straight into Andrew's eyes.
It looked as though he might scream, but it was as if no sound was possible, from anyone or anything. The book fell from Andrew's hands as his arms spread wide. His eyes were now shining with the same glow that came from the book. It almost seemed as if the glow had came from him instead.
A low incantation was heard, not from Andrew's lips, but from what sounded like hundreds of voices. All chanting at once from everywhere and nowhere. Andrew's feet lifted slowly from the ground for a moment.
Just as suddenly as it started, everything seemed to return to normal. Andrew was looking down at his hands, the book at his feet. The lighting had returned to normal, and everything seemed as it was moments before.

Elena DubBryan 11:10 pm
Elena was looking outside enjoying the night. Since she had returned a lot had happened and now, with Andrew it certainly was the beginning of something else. She turned as she felt the room change somehow. She watched as the lights drew dark. Certainly a magi vampire was a first so the unknown was about to go down. She braced and prepared for whatever came.
She couldn't. A light, as strong as day came out from with in the book. "Ahhhhh" She jumped out the window, shattering it as she flew out of it. She flew upwards very quickly and hid above the window sill. Trying to not go astray to far.
When the light went away she swiftly flipped back down into the room, her skin healing very rapidly and hair growing back to its blonde length. She watched him and look down at the book.
"Perfect."

Andrew Pandoral 11:14 pm
Andrew laughed and smiled at her. "Indeed, though I'm not quite anyone truly understands what we about to unleash." He looked back at his hands for a moment, feeling the power of his ancestors pulsing through him.
