NEW York City, 2018

^10:00pm

How was it a hunt if the predator so easily turned into the prey? Eli Jarac De’Vol stood above the lifeless body of the creature lying before him. Its blood spilled from battle staining the concrete, and saturating his clothing. It tainted the air, and coated itself over the gorging cavity that once held this previous life’s heart. “Such a foolish creature,” He remarked, his tone blank. The strong hue of the night caressed his back, imposing his lethal image over the corpse. He’d never stood a chance. The boy shouldn’t have even tried. He’d been too young, proud and far too inexperienced to best him. His death was nothing but a waste. Eli shook his head, turning away from the bloody scene. He gazed down towards his hands, hands that were now dripping in blood. In normal circumstance there might have been a temptation to savor such an occasion. Unfortunately distinct reasons prevented him from indulging in such endeavors.

Time being one detail but he most apparent being what dwelled within the misfortune of the vile creature genetics. Eli sighed and began quietly walking away from the gory scene. He knew sooner or later the authorities would happen upon the body. It was best if he made himself scarce before any further confrontation presented itself. He walked down the pathway, the park lamps overhead lighting his way as he exited the grounds. Slipping his hand into his pocket he began to search for his phone but, stopped short when he noticed a black tinted vehicle pulling up to the side of the curve. He immediately recognized the driver as the ignition cut. Xander D’Aville, his advisor step out of the vehicle. His face was full of questions as he looked over each Eli’s appearance. “Are you hurt?” Eli didn’t answer. He didn’t see the point. Xander wasn’t an imbecile; he knew how to put the obvious together. No this was his indirect way of asking for an explanation. Eli would of course eventually give him one but for now they needed to leave.

“Later.” He replied, side stepping the man as he took a seat inside passenger compartment of the car. Xander frowned at the response but took his place in the driver seat. He pushed the key in the ignition, removed the car from park and pulled off. Eli knew he sounded curt. He just wasn’t in the mood to talk, speak or discuss the subject till he had returned back to the penthouse, showered and had a drink. Of course Xander wasn’t about to make this easy. Eli closed his eyes but rest seemed unlikely to happen. At least not with his aides critical gaze burrowing into him. His intense stare demanding what he dared not voice out loud. Not that it fazed him; Eli was use to his adviser’s disapproval. It wasn’t the first time Xander hadn’t liked a decision he had made and it would not be the last.

Eli was right of course; in the front seat of the vehicle was indeed perturbed and mildly frustrated. He needed answers. Seeing Eli walk toward the car covered in blood had not been a welcomed sight. In fact it only further complicated an already complex situation. Xander gripped the steering wheel tightly, his nails indenting into the leather. He stared at his master in the rearview mirror. He wondered if he should dare what he knew he should not. Of course Xander knew Eli would not be amused to have the silence he desired interrupted. When his lord was this silent he was either annoyed or trying the stave off the calm before the storm. Oh and there was a storm, not just the one his master was bathed in but another awaiting him at palazzo. “My Lord...I know you do not wish to be disturbed.” Xander paused taking in what looked like a gulp of air. He didn’t want to do this but he needed to. “We need to speak...preferably before we reach home.” Normally he would never defy a direct order but the situation was too important.

“It would seem Xander…you are not going to let me have any peace”Eli aggravated tone filled the silence as he opened his eyes to look at his advisor in the rear view mirror. He was far from pleased that Xander had not heeded his warning.Eli did not like to be disobeyed. “I apologize. I know you do not wish to discuss the situation until we return but…” Xander hesitated. He knew he was in a no win situation. If he stayed quiet Eli would learn the situation to late and he would be to blame. If he told his lord now, then Xander risked pushing his lords already bad mood. “There is s situation at the palazzo.” Eli’s eyes flashed at those words. “What situation?” He demanded back. Xander’s mouth dried. He knew he needed to use his next words carefully. “A few of the youngers went hunting in the city a little bit after you left this evening.” Eli glared but his expression held the real threat, he wasn’t in the mood for a long story. He knew it and Xander as well. “Get to the point Xander.” He bit out. His advisor nodded. “They found a small group but they encountered a problem when they pursued their prey.” Xander paused pulling the car into park as they pulled into the underground parking area of the penthouse. He cut the car off and turned to look at Eli directly.

"What did they encounter Xander?" Eli's patients was very thin. He had entertained Xander defiance because the man never did so without reason. However this was starting to sound like nonsense. There was nothing in the behavior he was stating that screamed unusual and if the young encountered a problem. They were more than equipped to handle it, they were vampires after all. "Your wasting my time." Eli reached for the door. He was tired of this hesitant game Xander was playing. He wanted shower, drink and time away from his adviser. All in that order. "I will find a fitting recourse for you later." That is when Xander finally blurted what had been holding out. "They found an angel."Eli stopped mid exit of the vehicle and looked at his adviser. He could not have heard him right. "An Angel? Your certain?" Xander nodded. Mierda Eli cursed. Now he was truly annoyed. He stepped out of the car. Xander soon following behind, both vampires headed to the elevator. There destination would have been the penthouse but Eli had a feeling Xander was going to tell him he needed elsewhere. So when the elevator arrived he allowed his aide to pick the destination.

He chose the basement floor level five. Eli looked at Xandering questioning. "There here aren't they?" Xander nodded and then further explained. "Yes the younglings encountered the angel when they unknowingly tried feed from what was most likely one of the angel's charges." Eli looked at his aide urging him to continue. "They were easily waylaid by the seraph. The angel stopped the children from feeding off the mortal and...a fight ensued." Eli wasn't surprised younglings did not like to be stopped from feasting on a good meal. "Were any of them hurt or killed?" Xander smiled. "Their pride was definitely hurt but Hunter stepped in and subdued the seraph." Eli wasn't surprised. Hunter was about what? Two hundred years older than him so it was not surprising he had the strength to pull off such a feat. "Where are the younglings now?" He inquired. Xanders face turned serious. "Being interrogated. Elandria is also waiting to see what your judgement of punishment will be for them. She also ask for an audience." So they were Elandria's bloodlets, now it all made sense.

"I'll will entertain Elandria later after I dealt with her wayward children." The elevator stopped. Eli stepped out heading towards the interrogation area. Xander however had one more thing to tell him. "There is one more thing my lord." Eli stopped, turning toward his aide. "What is it?" Xander braced himself knowing that his lord would like this last bit of new less than the previous. "Hunter subdued the angel but he did not release or kill them. He brought her here as a prisoner." That was when Eli's turned eyes black. He knew that his people believed in that asinine legend about angels blood. Never did he think they would be stupid enough to attempt it. It was times like these Eli wish he could remember Saphira or at least her face. It would at least help him deal with the long immortal road he had walked on. "I'm going to the interrogation room." His eyes turned back to normal. "In the meantime Xander find everything you can on this angel, including her archangel." Eli didn't want any surprises. Angels could not lie but the sure as hell knew how to bend the truth.

Hour of Darkness (W I K I)

• Vampires: They are reanimated human corpses which are inhabited by the spirits of the deceased person and who closely resemble the living human they were before their transformation. Vampires feed and survive on the blood of the living, typically on that of humans, and they can also transform other humans into more of their kind by sharing their own blood with them.
• Bloodlines: A bloodline describes a group of vampires who share a common lineage, weakness and Disciplines but are distinct from one of the thirteen clans. The childe of a vampire who belongs to a bloodline will always belong to the same bloodline as her sire, and there's no set way to change one's lineage. However all vampires derive from the original source bloodline.

Anubis

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Anubis expected a lot from this meeting. Information, a scouting for potential clients and of course a good meal. What see didn't expect was to be vastly entertained. It was like having dinner and movie. Only the entertainment was live. Park's was going toe to with the assassin Relka and serving woman. Much to Anubis surprise he was holding his own. Though the fact that he mentioned his height was a little telling. Though she was certain how he would deal with Mama Fang. Anubis had only seen her a time or two but from the impression she left she was not the type that be handled. Then again she could be underestimating Parks. He was a guild master as well so there had to be something to his charm. However he didn't seem to have foresight when it came to his meals. If he did Park's might have protected it better from...Anubis interface pulled up the revealing their latest arrival.

Chopper?

Anubis felt she had heard that name before but the connection wasn't clicking. Her profile listed her as a Youxia. That was the listed class name for Pirate on the Chinese server. She wasn't certain if there was anything to Chopper but Anubis made a mental note to look into her at a later date. Besides it wasn't like she was any threat unless...you know you were Park's dinner. Anubis took a sip of her ale, that was when she had noticed that Relka the assassin she had seen pestering Park's had notice her. She smiled at her. Anubis smiled back lifting her pint of ale in salute to the assassin. She could tell that both their lines of work could help benefit each other. For now Anubis would leave it, there was enough time for her make contact after the meeting had adjourned.

Ragar then made his presence noticeable once more. He was speaking to Cassio, who early on had voiced his disdain for his fellow guild masters actions with the Fox tale. Ragar on the other hand really didn't seem to have any real remorse. However it was obvious he did not like being chastised. I impede those who step out of line, Cassio. Anubis chuckled. Ragnar impede them all alright. That Fox tale look downright terrified. Anubis didn't know if the Fox wanted to shit his pants or run for the hills. The latter would be entertaining but with Ragar on the watch she was pretty certain he would not make it very far. "I don’t care what they think because they don’t care what others lose when they go to the cathedral." True but there was better ways to handle them. Not that Mr. Military seem to care at the moment. He was obviously ready to start this little pow wow.

"Let's skip this bullshit, we have issues to talk about, hmm? Anubis couldn't agree more. She was ready to hear to juicy bits. Information after all was a brokers bread and butter. Parks organized this meeting but I called it and I don’t want any interruptions. Anubis took a sip of her ale. Ragar had her full attention. PK’s are high, and I didn’t bring this man just to show off a criminal. Even our CRIMINALS are having problems. Anubis paused on those words. Her hand tapping lightly on the table. The PK's being on the rise wasn't new, but after that run in the alleyway with that mid tier PKer. She knew they were up to something. Anubis made a mental note to look into the problem further. We’ve got a near army of monsters just outside the city, player killings in front of that, and people don’t enjoy the new laws we’ve got.

Monsters outside the city that wasn't new but if there numbers were growing well that could because of one or two reason. One players weren't going out the city often. Which was to be expected with player killings on the high and players not wanting to risk death with monsters. However there was a third plausible answer. The rise in monsters could also mean there was an event in progress. The game always use to have a few a couple times a year. It was slim but it could be a reason. As for the people not settling into the new laws well Anubis didn't know much about the political spectrum of landers but if it was true Ragar was saying. Then this was a prime opportunity to begin making connections with the major players. Anubis tones out what the rest of what Ragar added to the conversation. It was mostly grumbling after that. What did interest her was what his pet For tale held in the way of information.

He not only confirmed he info that Ragar had relayed but he gave information on the landers situation. Since the monsters were gaining in numbers they were attacking the landers. Which meant that the problem wasn't just a monster hunt Anubis was more than determined than ever to get to look into both these situations. The Pk's came first. However some the answers she sought came in the opportunity with Parks. Since it seemed he was taking the lead on the monsters. The party he formed would be on the field and that was a good place to begin information gathering. Anubis stood up leaving her chair. She walked over to the lively residents in attendance at the meeting. "If you are planning to look into the monster situation. I can offer my services for a fee. King or no king Parks needed a party and Anbuis was willing to offer help for the right price. As well as chance to gain further information but they didn't need to know that.

Anubis

City of Arokan, Cleftland Kingdoms
2:30pm

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

She hated the cold, mostly because in the real world Anubis lived somewhere where it was mostly sunny year round. So nothing about City of Arokan this time of year appealed to her outside of the business opportunities. Which was the only reason Anubis found herself out chilling herself to the bone. A group of lower level adventurers wanted info on a few good spawning grounds where the PK guilds didn't normally hunt. Since many of them were having their items taken from them and some lower level adventures made small guilds of their own. Information like this was a goldmine for someone like Anubis. There was many who paid for good tips such as this. Of course that was slowly changing.

Many guilds were bringing a sense of order back to the city. Player killers were still a problem at times but it seemed with the likes of Captain Ragar and a few others they would be in for a new line of work soon. Not that it matter to Anubis, she was information broker and cleric. There would always be line of work for her, no matter the shift. "Anubis?" The whisper of her name made the cleric whirl around. She had her weapon ready, not that it mattered much considering they were in the safe zone. However her position was clear that if they made the wrong move she would retaliate. "You're obviously not a low level player." She answered. Her interface pulling up their profiles. There was three of them. The two at the rear were both lvl thirty-fours. Anubis recognized them as her original contractors. However the obvious leader here was at level sixty-eight and she had no idea who this guy was. Anubis frowned. She did not like this.

"Obviously" He replied in kind. He stepped forward out of the shadows, his figuring towering over her. Anubis refused to back down. Whoever this guy was he had wasted her time and used these two inexperienced players to do so. "So clearly you don't want the information I was going to supply to your two stooges." He smiled. "On the contrary." He pulled out a gold sack. Anubis interface picked up on the number immediately. It was what the amount they had agreed upon with a few extra gold piece thrown in. "That is exactly what I want" If Anubis was certain what this guy was about before she knew now. He was a player killer and she did not sell info to their kind. "Unfortunately for you I don't sell to those who aren't my contracted customers." Anubis brushed past the small party heading towards the alleyway exit.

"Next time you want to do business. Contact me yourself." That was her final word as she headed back out into the hustle of the city. Anubis wasn't worried they follow her. Not unless that little party wanted to drawn attention to themselves. Considering their line of work she knew they didn't. Beside picking a fight with a level ninety player wasn't exactly smart, and they also had to consider the royal guard. Anubis smiled she would have paid to see that group throw them in jail especially after they had wasted her time. She was still miffed by that. She had set up this whole entire meeting and now she hadn't any gold to show for it. Not that it was a total loss. She now had information on a player killer and Anubis was pretty certain that the two low levels he was with were being forced to join him. That kind of info would make her a lot with some of the guilds within the Fang guild hall today. So everything wasn't a total loss.

Jarac That had been the name that popped up on her interface of the player who had been the leader of that small group. Anubis had no idea who this guy was but she would definitely be looking into him in the future. She made a mental note to hire one of the trackers she had contact with to look into it in the future. For now Anubis would head to the Fang Family Guild Hall, she knew the Alliance was meeting there soon. While she wasn't a member of any guild, she knew that it would be a good for information and a bite to eat. The guild had some high level cooks, Mama Fang being one of them. So it would be interesting to see what would be served.

Anubis mouth watered as she weaved through the crowds. She was definitely looking forward to a good meal. She arrived at the hall five minutes past three in the afternoon. The hall was filled with quiet a number of guild members from the Fangs and there was even a good number players from guilds. Anubis recognized some players she had seen around town. Cassio was one of them. He was a Swashbuckler who was the guild master of the Blades. Anubis really didn't know much about him other than that his guild was swordsmith classed. Captain Ragar was another she knew of. He was the Founder and leader of The Knights of Bahamut. His class was guardian and his guild was primarily a raiding guild. He was also a founding member of the North Wen Alliance. So it was not a surprise he was here or that he was sitting next to Parks who was occupying Mama Fang's guild chair. However it was surprising he was holding a Fox tale hostage.

Anubis wasn't sure what would make more entertainment, the Fox tale or Mama Fang when she arrived. Parks was definitely about to make this meeting interesting. Than again he was the guild master and a founder of the Neon Colossus. From the little information Anubis knew about him she would describe him as someone with a playful presences. Either or it was bound to be entertaining. She sat down at one of the corner tables in the hall. It was far enough away where no one would notice her but close enough where she could still hear a good amount of discussion. That was when someone Anubis didn't recognize seated next to Cassio came her attention. The interface said she was an assassin named Relka.

Other than her stats Anubis didn't know much about her. However she did like how the assassin stood up Ragar. She had spunk and Anubis could respect that. The food began to be served shortly after and that was when the real fireworks began. "Child I really don't know who you think you are sitting in Mama's chair. If SHE won't whup you I will." Anubis giggle nearly choking on her drink as the older woman serving in the hall gave Parks a piece of her mind. If that woman serving wasn't afraid to give a guild master a piece of her mind, then Anubis could not wait to see when the meeting began and Mama Fang arrived.
