As the wolf charged towards her, she had but a meer second to react, "Sword Iris!" She yelled out while streams of lighting came shooting down from the sky. The quick and agile wolf managed to dodge every bolt and continued to charge at the young girl. Her vision was slightly impaired as rose petals engulfed her line of sight. All she could see was blotches of gray fur and two very sharp fangs amoungst the floating debree. "Ok, now's the time to use it!" Knowing the wolf is but an arms length away she grabs her sword and prepares her attack, "Dead Spike!" Dark shadow like energy breaks through the ground engulfing the wolf and sending him crashing towards a wall.
As the smoke from the rubble cleared, an elderly man dressed in butler attire lay there with a bitter sweet smile. "Yes! I can't believe I was able to do it so soon!" Valkenhayn stood up from the rubble and dusted himself off, "My lady, such an attack is very unbecoming, please I ask you to not mix your mother's graceful attacks with your father's cheap parlor tricks."
The young girl just smiled, she was petit and her hair was a beautiful silk like gold, very much like her mother. Her bangs were as white as snow, covering one eye. She kept her hair in twin tails, she believed the "rabbit" look was cute. She carried a sword like dagger around her waist, a gift from her uncle. Both of her eyes were a dark crimson red, though she showed no signs of vamparism.
"Now my lady, I believe the day grows late and your mother is waiting for you for your usuall stones and tea together." Valkenhayn, Rachel's most loyal servant would give his own life if need be to protect this girl. His future master. "I know I know" the girl said with a cheerful yet tired sound in her voice. "Is Dad going to join us too?" She knew the answer to her question but wanted to know for sure. Valkenhayn looked at her with a smirk on his face, "I'm afraid not my lady, he's not yet returned from Kagutsuchi." She looked up at the moon that was always visible from her mother's garden and drew a big sigh.
They slowly walked together back to the mansion where her mother was waiting for her as usuall. As they made their way to the front entrance, Rachel was sitting in a small table in front of her courtyard. "Mariela, do hurry, I've been here for quite some time. I trust your training went well?"
