The place they ended up in was vaguely familiar. Scanning their surroundings, Victor only momentarily looked over the two masked individuals across from them settling his eyes on the Lord. Lord Perion was a formidable sight to behold. Victor himself had only met the man a handful of times, a few times when he would visit the Strigois stronghold and just before coming to this school. The brief conversation about his mission here flashed through his mind, he still hadn’t made progress on it.

A flicker of light in the cabin caught his eye. [i]“Look for something out of place or missing?”[/i] well the candle was definitely out of place. The lord would never do anything that would even show the slightest hint of an accommodation for a mage or human. They were insects to him, even some vampires were. He needed to investigate the light source but would the lord intercept him if he tried? It would need to be investigated before he was comfortable engaging the other two in what was clearly a trial by combat.

[color=92278f]“Salem, we need to be cautious and plan-”[/color] his mage took the initiative and charged forward, [color=92278f]“Don’t.” [/color]an irritated growl followed. While Salem charged forward, at least he knew that combat tactics were to be hammered in next. 

Victor glanced at the weapons that were left and chose the axe, before he could grab it he began to be surrounded by tall grass and vines. Another plant mage? Or just an illusion? These challenges were strange and he only felt that they were specifically designed to test the relationship between vampire and mage more than actually just testing the mage. Honestly he could understand, Ryner seemed particularly interested with messing with them.

Moving past the ever growing grass with the axe in hand the count moved toward the cabin. He only stopped for just a moment to give a passing salute to the lord before continuing. Illusion or not a lord was still a lord and it had been engraved in him to show respect whenever able. Even if it was just a simple gesture. The light source was out of place and the only thing that seemed off about this whole situation so far. That was what he was investigating, if it turned out to be nothing then he would join Salem with fighting the other two.
