Marquis turned his head to glance at Selene out the corner of his eye, a smirk apparent on his face. Progressing down the corridor which lead to the vault, Marquis motioned for the guards to peel off to their positions. It seemed as if every two feet they walked, guards seemed to materialize out of thin air...standing vigilantly on the walls of the corridor.

She could not help but smirk as she continued to follow him closely,gazing every so often as the guards appeared. She was not afraid as she knew she was safe...he would not let any harm befall her..unless she betrayed him and that was not going to happen.
"That is it... terrorize them and force her out.....but then what will you do? How will you get her to follow your orders? The child will not do it willingly I am sure Marquis....."

Marquis smirked slightly at Selene. He'd convinced her to follow him without any overt use of force, and she was wildly against his entire existence...even before learning of his..abilities. In the end, she had succombed to his will..but if he needed to...he was prepared to take what he wanted by force. "I have my ways, Selene."
Entering the security code on the keypad, he waited as the heavy steel doors swung inward and dim, blue lighting illuminated the room. Stepping inside the room, he smiled at the sight of his various knives, swords, and bows. In the center of it all...the armor he'd worn since his days as a honorable warrior of an all but extinct clan.

Selene fell silent as she pondered over his words, knowing full well he had the power to take anything he wanted. That was when she felt the pang of jealously as she thought about him looking at any other woman...especially one not of their kind. She bit her lower lip as she watched him for a moment before looking about the room.
"Quite the collection.." she finally spoke softly as she stepped up and stood next to him. "I can see why you want no one down here..."

Marcello walked over to his armor, removing his cape and pulling it on. He reached behind him and removed his sword from the sheathing and twirled the blade expertly through the air before exmaning the craftmanship. As he looked over the weapon, he responded to Selene. "Yes...not many have set foot in this room. You see Selene...a vampire's weapon is an extension of their existence...something that represents their inner desire and strength. I've used this weapon since...before you were born. It has been with me through it all." Turning to face Selene he smirked slightly before motioning towards the weapons on the wall. "Take what you'd like."
Sheathing the sword once again, he walked over to another case and removed his long black overcoat which had a slit in the back for the handle of his sword such that it could be easily removed and reinserted. Lining the sides were a variety of smaller daggers that Marquis mostly used to throw with impressive accuracy over great distances. When he was ready, he waited for Selene...taking the moment to admire her beauty passively.

She listened to his words, pondering them for a moment before she looked around. She was not trained to fight with much in the ways of weaponry except daggers and she knew a little archery so those were her weapons she would use. She lookjed over her choices before she found the perfect dagger, not to heavy not to light..very well balanced. She then picked up a bow and a quiver.
Once she was content with what she had picked she turned to face Marquis, unable to stop herself from smiling as she noticed how he was looking at her. She paused a moment then spoke.
"I am ready"

Marquis nodded before motioning for her to follow him. They exited the weapons vault and re-emerged back into the lengthy corridor. Instead of progressing all the way back down the corridor, Marquis stopped and opened a door halfway down the hall. Pushing it open, he walked through the doorway, emerging inside of a small courtyard. The courtyard itself looked as if it had been neglected in upkeep for quite some time. However, appearances were not everything in the Shadowlands.
Marquis' eyes flashed red as a large storm, or what appeared to be a storm, rolled into the area. He held out his hand for Selene to grab...most of his warriors had the ability to transform, but he preferred to travel in an..alternative means.

Selene smirked as she watched, pondering just how things would play out when they reached Rilis. Reaching out she grabbed Marquis hand tightly and closed her eyes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mizuki stopped and looked around, something not feeling quite right to her. It was not here but it was somewhere....the only question was where. Since she was a little girl mizuki had always seemed to know when something good or bad was going to happen...as if intune with something.....something she could never fully understand. Shaking her head she decided it was best that she not dwell on it and continued on her way to the market.

As Selene grabbed his hand, Marquis jumped skyward. The storm seemed to swirl around him, sweeping the two vampire's into its folds. It carried them quickly away from the Shadowlands and towards the village of Rilis. It had been a while since a storm of such proportions enveloped any part of Skylandria. In the past, Marquis had found the entire land to be completely disgusting...a beacon for weakness.

Mizuki stopped and looked up as she saw the sky darkening, the feeling that something was wrong rising quickly. Storm happened on a regular basis yes, but not this fast...this storm was evil and brought nothing but pain with it. She shook her head, looking around at those about her and suddenly wished Samuel was near.
She could not explain it but when he was around she felt a state of comfort she felt around no other. He had only left a few days back but she missed him, his company. Right now she just wished he was here because she felt safer, more at ease and right now that is what she needed feeling as she did.
Something was coming.

As the storm rolled into the edge of town, it's violence intensified as Marquis and Selene gently glided to the ground. Scanning the horizon, he noted the people scurrying about in fear of the approaching storm. As he stalked towards the market, he smiled sadistically, revealing his fangs to a slight degree. What few humans that did catch sight of him and were unfortunate enough to recognize Lord Cervantes, screamed in horror. Others continued to run. As one particularly young woman was trying to get a way, Marquis pointed a hand at her and watched as her body began to rot slowly...decaying at an advanced rate.
Releasing his mysterious control over the woman, he continued to walk towards the center of the town. The ominious storm looming overhead cast the entire area in darkness as lightning struck the ground in various places around Selene and Marquis. Glancing to his new mate, Marquis smirked slightly. The Vampires had returned...

Selene smiled sadistically as she watched Marquis use his powers to end the life of a cowardly human. His show of power sent a shiver down her spine as she walked along side him.
-------------------------------------------------------
Mizuki watched from on of Rilis' many side streets, gasping in horror as she watched things unfold before her eyes. She had felt it coming and now the evil was here. Why she did not know but she had only heard tale of the Vampire's from her father. She was worried, why were they here?

Marquis stopped walking once he'd reached the center of the town. He looked around briefly, his eyes blood red. He knew what he was looking for...most towns had some type of elder that tended harbor vast amounts of knowledge relating to their town and all of Skylandria. He knew because he had killed on once...observing their knowledge. However, as he scanned the horizon...his eyes lingered on a young girl watching seemingly terrified from nearby. A smirk crossed his lips as he spoke. "Selene...you know what to do..."

Selene nodded her head and hesitantly broke away from Marquis. She turned and made her way down one of the streets,her eyes scanning the area, licking her lips
..........................................................
Mizuki watched the man standing there for some time, her golden eyes flashing slightly as she wished more then ever for Samuel to be at her side. He was a warrior and she was not so there was nothing that she could do. She pulled herself back into one of the streets and turned to walk away. She had to get back to her clan and warn them as to what she had just seen

Marquis watched as Selene went off. He closed his eyes briefly...smelling the scent of warm blood on the air. The sensation sent a shiver down his spine. Opening his eyes, he smirked before commenting to himself. "Time to feast..." He began moving at imperceptible speeds to attack various villagers as they attempted to flee. Feasting on the blood of each and every one... He attacked nearly four individuals...though he wounded them such that they would merely die...not turn. Marquis had grown to be highly selective of those he turned and invited into his realm. Slowly licking the blood from his lips, he turned in the direction that Selene had set off in. He was most curious to see how she would do.
