[center][color=blue][h2]”The Investor” Claudius[/h2][/color][/center] The demon sat at the table in the dim candle light that illuminated the dining hall. His elbows placed on the table with his finger tips tapping together in anticipation of his guests. Claudius neared jumped out of his seat when the first coo rang through his head. His grin grew devilishly high as he brushed off his coat and readied himself to open the portal. Moving his arm in a full circle motion in front of himself, and flicking his wrist at the end, the world spun and sucked itself into a blacken shadow portal. It took a moment for the his first new friend to step through, and in the time Claudius began brushing himself off and looked to the fox that had been sitting by the doorway. [color=blue]”I’m getting nervous now.”[/color] He told his little friend before releasing a small breath and putting his smile back on his face. The first to step through was a man with red skin, horns, tail, and a staff. [color=blue]”Hello! Welcome to Castle Havoc. You would be the first of few to arrive. My name is Claudius Ravenwood. I’m sorry I am horrible with names, what’s yours?”[/color] As the man talked he grew closer to the other man, not quite familiar with personal boundaries. However, after a only a moment he backed off and reached his arm out towards the table like a show girl showing off a prize new car, the portal closed behind Ithiel. [color=blue]”Welcome again, please have a seat and will wait for the others to arrive.”[/color] His smile stayed upon his face, and that fox that had lead Ithiel through the portal ran over to where the lone fox had been laying by the door, cooed at Claudius before curling up to make two foxes. A second coo rang and Claudius again waved his hand, to open the portal. This time the man was greeted by an arrow, it glided with ease through the portal and may have been a fatal blow for the half demon if his reflexes had been just a tad slower. A fox soon jumped through and joined the other 2. This time it was the winged, or rather half winged elf that stepped through after a few awkward silent moments with Claudius looking between Ithiel and the portal infront of him. [color=blue]”Hello! Welcome to Castle Havoc. You would be the first of few to arrive. My name is Claudius Ravenwood. I’m sorry I am horrible with names, what’s yours?”[/color]. Once getting the elf’s name he asked her as well to take a seat. The last coo to join them was followed by an elf. The fox once again joining the others in the doorway. [color=blue]”Hello kind sir. Please take a seat, we will get this meeting under way.”[/color] Claudius noticed that he would grow tired of introducing himself soon and would just wait a few more moments before introducing himself again. He took his place at the head of the table, and as he did he heard another signal from his fox. Opening another portal, this time in front of the chair in which the girl would sit. When Kaida appeared before everyone she looked around, confused by the whole thing and grew very shy. [color=aquamarine]” Um… oh… he-hello.”[/color] She said before taking her seat and looking shyly around the table. [color=blue]"Great, we are only waiting on a few more. As some of you know. I am Claudius Ravenwood. The one who has invited you here. Please interact and introduce yourselves, and ask any questions you see fit. I will do my best to answer them! We are expecting a few more, but I can fill them in when they get here."[/color] Claudius finished with. He knew these people, for the most part, but they didn't know one another. Claudius's devilish smile didn't fade for a moment as a shadow person opened up the door to what would be the kitchen. They appeared to be a solid black figure with smoke coming off of him. The shadow person started at Claudius. [color=blue]"Raspberry wine Adam"[/color] With the command the figure pulled a bottle of wine out from behind him and filled his glass. Then moved on to the Rakshasa on Claudius's right. [color=blue]"You tell him what you want to drink, and later to eat. He is endowed with magic allowing him the access any food or drink in the known world. You just have to ask him."[/color] Claudius talked with pride. It had took him a lot of time to make this little guy and he was proud to finally show him off. [@DivineIntervention93][@onenote][@Invader Len]
