Now on with the show..

Saetan Daemon SaDiablo, High Lord of Hell, High Priest of the Hourglass, and Warlord Prince of Dhemlan, Jaenelle's spiritual and adopted father. Who held both an uncut Birthright Red Jewel, and had received an uncut Black Jewel after his Offering to the Darkness, stood in his study pacing as he tried to figure out why he felt the new arrivals to his hall would be something, spectacular if not down right terrifying.

But if he could survive Jaenelle, her inner circle, his children and Dorothea, he should be able to survive two travelers from another dimension sent here by mistake. At least until they went home. He glanced at the door at the knock and before he could say anything Jaenelle came in with a bright smile. "Jaenelle?" he inquired.

The strongest jeweled queen in the history of all blood, smiled a bit more and he suddenly thought he should sit down, knowing he was going to regret what was to come.
"Their Jeweled, but nether have made the offering, so the fact they have such strong, though hidden power is a conundrum"
Was the first volley of words out of the girls mouth and Saetan grabbed out the nearest decanter of liquor that hopefully was strong enough to steady his nerves. "Is that all you came to tell me?"

Her blond hair, grown back from her time spent with the kindred while she healed, shook quickly before she spoke calmly.
"Nope, they need to make the offering, and be trained. for some odd reason they can even as old as they are, they can do both. I think it's because their still 'young' here, as compared to there."

Xander watched as the group for the fight broke up and considerd what to do from there, he decided to just wander, Dawn following him, as she tended to do when she had no one else she was familiar with. But at the same line, she often disappeared on him, when she wanted some alone time. Thanks to a spell Willow had put on the group for Dawn, he'd know exactly WHEN the younger Summer's was in trouble. It was just a precaution and only worked if they a person was near enough to her to do anything, though yeah all of them got the alert, it was just the one's closest who got the full information. Where as last time Willow was closest, but then with Willow it just happend because she was the caster.

Turning down another hall he wandered until he came to a closed door, curious he opened it. and saw the older gentleman from when they'd eaten dinner and coughed. "Sorry sir.." he started backing up but Dawn pushed forward ensuring he followed her in. "Dawn.. he might not want company and anyways you shouldn't enter someones study without permission." his voice was irritated, she should of KNOWN that. The older male chuckled.

"No no she can come in as can you, Xander?" Xander sighed but steped into the room, letting the door close behind them,
that's of course when he sensed the magic around it and frowned. "What is a silenceing spell doing on the door.."The gold eye's closed as the man spoke. "Sometimes in dealing with Jaenelle and her coven, I need a way to vent. They tend to make life, exceptionally lively."

Xander snorted. "In other words you needed a room you could scream and curse in without hurting their feelings as they grew into their powers." Was the calm and understanding response. Making Saetan raise an eyebrow. "You've delt with Witches coming into their powers"
"Not exactly but I have had to deal with very very strong personality types." Xander answered, well lets see, Buffy, Willow, Anya, Dawn, Cordelia, Jenny and point in case Mrs. Summers.

Xander studied the older man. "I take it your the Giles of the group, Jaenelle is the Buffy, Daemon is the 'Angel'.." his voice went dark as he said the name, but then lighter. "Or I could be wrong.." he shrugged. not to worried about it. He couldn't stop his eye from narrowing as the man studied Dawn.

Saetan watched as the boy's eye narrowed at him, and couldn't help agree with Jaenelle's assessment, they did act like blood. The boy was at the same time protective, but not smothering the girl. He wonderd how long it had taken her to get him not to be so protective he was choking her freedom of movement, or they could of just been family. Family almost always knows when not to be so over protective.

"I see. Jaenelle seems to think, even with the fact your far past the age to make the offering, that you two could wear the jewels of the blood." he waited to see their reactions. The girl tipped her head in thought while the boy just looked, for lack of a better word, confused. "Jewels"
Saetan blinked. 'the boy didn't know about the jewels with which most of the blood drew their powers strength from?' He rubbed his temples, ohh he could just FEEL a headache coming along.

Dawn spoke up and Saetan was surprised she knew so much. "Most members of the Blood are gifted with a Birthright Jewel, and after making an Offering to the Darkness, they may descend a maximum of three Jewel ranks to receive a darker Jewel. These can be cut or uncut. Cut Jewels are Jewels that are thought to have been used before by someone now dead, and may come already set into jewellery. Uncut Jewels are unused, and are more powerful than their cut counterparts. Dark Jewels are rare compared to light ones, with the Ebony and Twilight's Dawn the rarest of them all. The darker a Jewel is, the stronger and more potent magic it contains, which in turn can be used by its wearer." Saetan blinked as he eye'd the blonde, she must of been reading or asking a lot of questions, because he, honestly, couldn't figure out where she'd gotten all the information but he didn't interrupt as she continued.

"The darkest Jewels one can receive for a Birthright is Red, with the exception of Janelle. The Birthright ceremony is performed at an altar, and occurs in early childhood. The Birthright ceremony is also when the father of the child is officially and legally recognized as such and can therefore claim the rights and responsibilities that a father in Blood society has for a child. A child who does not have a father recognized at his/hers Birthright Ceremony is considered illegitimate."

Saetan's eye's darkend in memory, anger running through him for a moment. enough to frost his eye's much like his son's. Dorothea SaDiablo Had made it so his children where illegitimate, her and that bitch Luthvian, well she'd changed her tunes and personality before her death. and she'd, in death, shown her son the love and pride she'd had for him. sadness eased the anger from her making Lucivar illegitimate. But it still hurt that she would believe the lies that..that WOMEN told her.

"Through the Offering to the Darkness, the Blood can earn Jewels up to three levels darker than their Birthright Jewel. Tapping into these deeper or darker reservoirs is called "descending", (e.g. Birthright White could descend to Rose) and darker stones allow for more potent magic. The Offering to the Darkness occurs at the end of puberty into early adulthood. The Offering to the Darkness cannot be made twice. If a Blood male or female has problems on the day of the Offering and do not descend to their full potential, there is no way to reverse the change."

Saetan chuckled. "My, my, you're a busy little information bug aren't you." he watched as the girl blushed slightly but continued. "Can you name the jewels, from the lightest to the darkest?" the blonde nodded, he dimly remembered The boy calling her Dawn. "Yep." he smiled. "Then please do so." she shifted from one foot to another and he had to fight to hide his amusement. She was almost like Jaenelle at that age, a curious kitten. then his eye's saddened. but Jaenelle hadn't been allowed to stay that way.

"There is, thirteen known Jewels, plus the two only Jaenelle Angelline's claimed as Witch." The girl, Dawn, closed her eyes and seemed to be concentrating, then. "White, Yellow, Tiger Eye, Rose, Summer-sky, Purple Dusk, Opal; Opal is the dividing line between darker and lighter jewels because it can be either." she paused for breath, the boy looking like he's on information overload, "and then there's Green, Sapphire, Red, Gray, Ebon-gray and Black. The following Jewels were worn only by Witch, the most powerful Queen in the history of the Blood, again Jaenelle.." Saeten dimly wondered where the girl had gotten all of her information. Being that most of it was only just recently known, but shrugged that off for later, he was used to Jaenelle haveing information she should not have and not knowing what she should. "Ebony, and Twilight's Dawn"
Saeten opened his mouth only for the girl to continue.

"Ebony is darker than the Black, which was formerly the darkest known Jewel and was almost unheard of being in someone's possession. The Twilight's Dawn Jewel is unique to Jaenelle. this jewel is like a combination of the jewels from Rose to Black. Twilight's Dawn was given to Jaenelle by Lorn as an unformed Jewel, delivered to her by Ladvarian, a kindred dog, and friend of Jaenelle and the Coven"
The girl stopped talking and Saeten's first comment was. "And where on earth did you get all that information." the girl shrugged. "I don't know. I just know. some of it's from books the rest.. No clue.."

Xander glowered at him. "What's her knowing stuff got to do with it." Saetan chuckled. "Nothing, only Jaenelle had a habit of knowing things she shouldn't when she was younger as well, heck she still does. But she was Dreams Made Flesh and it's not surprising with her."His words did NOT make the boy anymore comfortable then before. but he continued anyways.
"Jaenelle seems to think that you two should make the offering, which means you'll be learning of our Custom's and beliefs"
The boy interrupted. "Basically we're gonna get a crash course on how NOT to fuck up. okay, got that. but hate to tell you,
Im nothing special."
