Vampires: The Old Realm
The air swirled around him as he stood on the hill side overlooking the city below. His hair as black as the night sky above him, his cloak swirling behind him. He smiled for a brief second and pulled a piece of hair from his face. This was his city, his kingdom. His name is Raven Yeshina, High Lord of the Vampires. The city he looked over was Kalena, the capital of the Vampire realm. He ruled with his mate Devi Aideen and their children. He loved his people and they loved him. He was an ancient and Old God placed into this position by his father who now forsakes him. The grass at his feet rustle slightly as the wind blows. It is a perfect night and he is at peace with himself.
Without a glance he darts off into the distance where a grand palace can be seen. With walls of pure marble and granite, it stands tall and proud as a reminder to all that the vampires are not a force that should not be reckoned with. After countless raids and wars it has never fallen once. The gates open for him as he passes by in the blink of an eye. Once inside he slows to a slow pace, the light glancing off his features. He has deep blue eyes that none can resist, his facial features look like they are set in stone. His jaw line is sharp and rigid, his jet black hair flows to his shoulders. He is armed with a sword on his side and fangs in his mouth. He is very well built with broad shoulders and a torso to match. He is shirtless as always and the muscles on his chest twitch slightly as the air flows over him.
As he walks into the palace's main hall three thrones can be seen at the end of a corridor. The largest and most dominate one is pure black marble, with subtle designs carved into it. The feet look like they meld into the floor itself. The throne looks as if no man could ever craft anything of the sort. On either side stand two slightly smaller thrones, both as unique as the first. Set upon each throne is a ruby of the purest sort ever found. It shines with a brilliance like no other. In the smaller thrones sit two beautiful women. Both have blonde hair that runs down their backs, eyes as blue and deep as the ocean. They both smile as he approaches and takes his seat beside them. The one on his left reaches up and places her hand on his. He looks at her and smiles raising her hand to his lips and pressing the softly to her cool skin. Her face is one of the most beautiful things anyone has ever seen. Words could not even begin to describe how she looks. On his right is the other women who could be mistaken for her twin, yet her eyes are a bit narrower than the other woman. She smiles softly and resumes looking straight ahead.
He looks over at the woman on his left and asks in a voice that could come from the angels, "I hope everything has been taken care of while I was away."
"Of course Raven, not much has happened. The kids are running around screaming and giggling, the guard is patrolling as usual and the ambassadors from Black Heaven have arrived." Devi responded smiling at him as the sounds of children can be heard somewhere in the halls.
"I see, how long have they been waiting?" He asked watching as a girl runs across the hall and into another archway.
"Not long, arrived here a bit before you returned, how was your stroll anyways?"
"Uneventful. The hills where quiet like always and the animals where filling. Just wish our hunting party would arrive again with the catch from the mortal realm." He said smirking a bit and glancing at the main archway. "Inform the ambassadors that I will be with shortly Kerlishna. I must refresh myself before attending to them, extend my deepest apologies as I did not expect them to be here so soon."
The woman on his right stands and bows before him before walking into a corridor to the right. Both Raven and Devi stand and enter a corridor to their left. They find themselves in a large room with a bed fit for a King before them. He strips himself of his clothes and enters into the wash room where servants attend to his body. He lays his head back and closes his eyes wondering what these ambassadors could possibly want with him.
He opens his eyes and looks at Devi and smiles, "I'm sure it's nothing, probably just some small matter that no one can seem to decide on. You do need to learn to keep your mind closed."
Devi blushes a bit as he reads her thoughts like he always does, "There have been rumors of war on other realms. That some are joining the sixth legion of six. Who knows what would happen if that where to get out of control." She sighed.
"Yes, I have heard those rumors as well. If they are up to something they will be stopped." He stands and wraps a robe around his wet body, the water bringing forth the shape of his muscular body. He walks over to the wardrobe and begins picking through the clothes, "Just sometimes I wish they would find a way to resolve things without me. Seems like I am always the one they run to. That's the only downside to having an army that is as well trained as mine." He chuckled slightly putting his black pants and shirt on. He throws a black cloak around his neck and straightens his hair.
"Guess I should go deal with these ambassadors than." He leaned over and kissed her and walked out the door and to the meeting room where the ambassadors waited for him.
