<span style='color:purple'>Saiph slowly drew back from her feeding leaving the girl still alive and unchanged. She reached her hand up and slipped it along the side of the girl's neck, causing the bite marks to burn shut at her touch. She then slowly lowered the girl towards the ground so that she could rest from the extensive feeding that just happened upon her. Saiph gazed upon the girl for a moment and smiled showing her blooded teeth and the rements of blood that she didn't get all in her mouth to flow down her chin and drip off in lines towards the floor. "Well...you have finished...so you should return to the temple above. No reason for you to linger down here any longer than you have to, Fade." Saiph slowly turned on a heel and lifted her light blue eyes up to meet that of two sets of green eyes. A grinned spread across her face as she looked upon the two Fades. She merely shook her head and sighed before turning and approaching the stairs. Her hands reached out and grazed up the walls causing sparks to come from her fingertips. She drew back her claws from the stone and dropped down on all fours at the top of the stairs then slowly moved towards one of the walls, laying herself down upon the cool floor. "Fa-Fades! I don't want anything happening to you...please come back up ASAP." She slipped her face allow the rough floor and purred lightly as her bloodlust seemed to return with full force, putting her in a rather drunken state of mind. She turned her blue, dilelated eyes back into the direction of stairs and watched to see if there was any movement coming up them. She slipped her left hand against hte stone floor, scrapping her claws deep into the stone.</span>
One of the Fade's ran a claw across the check of the chained girl, lightly over her skin so it blushed a little. She was out cold, it made him smile what vampires could do to the weaker race. They were like puppets on a string, they danced when they were told to. Even if they didnÂ’t know it. His swished his tail around absentmindedly, as he turned around and headed up the stairs after the girls constant shouting. He wasnÂ’t really sure why she was so worried, she was no danger even in blood lust, such a young vampire wasnÂ’t even a minor threat, although her master was powerful. It didnÂ’t really work for her though. With a sub conscious thought his copy walked up behind him silently and marched up the stairs into the temple. With out a word he walked past the girl who was clawing the stairs and smiled, obviously hadnÂ’t hunted for a while. Both the Fade's took up residence in some dark part of the temple, one lounging on a chair while the other lurked in some corner. Darkness made no real difference with vampires though, since they all had excellent night vision. But it was more of a habit than anything, always lurking, always hiding. Always moving. I was a new feeling for him to stay in one place, not a bad one either. He might have to track down the leader and stay with him for a while. If he ever found him.
<span style='color:darkred'>Darkness was setting in over the entire island. It was soon to be nightfall in a matter of minutes. What happened with Fade and Saiph was hours ago, maybe longer. And back towards the temple came the one that Saiph referred to and loved as her Master. Sieben came walking out of the woods, slipping one of his large talons over his lips collecting what little bit of blood and flesh he didn't get from earlier. It was apparent that he had been hunting living creatures far off away from the island since he had been gone all day long. Sieben slipped his talon in pass his lips and cleaned it of the remains of his meal before he blasted up off the ground and came down onto the second landing of the temple staircase. (the large staircase out front of the temple, not the one hidden inside the temple.) He lifted his ivory white eyes up and gazed upon the enterance of the temple. "Adara...my dear. I am back..." He whispered slowly tracing his talon along the heim of his coat before drawing it off his shoulders. Upon the removal of his coat...seemed to trigger a sudden tropical down pour, (rain storm). Sieben merely shook his head and proceeded up the stairs towards the temple. He came to a sudden stop just shy of the temple door and gazed upon it with his ivory irises. "Fade...but who is this other one that shares the same power...same scent?" Sieben growled beneath his breath and scaled the stairs the rest of the way before pressing on into the temple. He gazed out into the darkness that clouded the room, causing a wicked grin to cross his mawl. Showing his extended fangs and now red colored eyes.</span> <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>Sorry if it doesn't make a lick of sense. I say just wing it and see what you can con-cotch out of the whole thing! xD</td></tr></table>
Fade was napping a little in the room, one still lounging on the sofa, the other curled up like a dog in the corner of the room. Shuffled away in the darkness and had only begun to stand up when Sieben walked in, this alerting the other. They both stood and smiled their greeting, yet Sieben didnÂ’t seem to pleased. They both grinned at his more negative reaction, causing them both to smile in exactly the same way. "He is me, just not the same me." He said with a little hiss like laugh at the end, he found this all very amusing as they started out of the Abyss at him. The sound of rain in the back ground causing his ears to perk. The blood river will be getting diluted now. "Who donÂ’t you like him," Another snarl like laughter filling the empty air of the temple, the moisture giving it a dank like smell that stuck to the surfaces. Both the Fade's flexed their claws, they werenÂ’t sure how he was going to reacts, and they favoured their chances a little better now. He both glared at the very demonic appearance of Sieben, those kinds of features came more with age and denoted more of his power. Yet, it did not necessary mean he was powerful. He might be more fragile than most and prone to attack. No Fade yet had much experience with vamps, and although they remembered everything from every single life. They really did no nothing about him. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>Dont worry im doing the same.</td></tr></table>
<span style='color:darkred'>Sieben turned his eyes away from the two Fades for a split second to gaze upon his sleeping fledgling. He then turned his eyes back towards the fade that spoke up first off, figuring it was the real one. He moved into the temple slowly causing his footsteps to echo as if they was the thunder themselves. The grin seemed to never leave his lips as he continued on his way towards the two. "So...all this time. Ever since you came into my world. All you wanted to do was test to see if I was the real deal?" Sieben reached his taloned hand out and dropped his white coat to the ground near where he stood. His red eyes gazed back into the single set of green ones, seeing the uncertainly in him. And yet...this seemed to excite Sieben even more. He drew all the light out of the room and left himself and the two Fades in nothing but utter darkness. Upon doing so Sieben extended his wings out from his back where the sight of flesh, clinged to the bone once more becoming full leather bat wings. "That is what you are wanting yes? To see if I am a monster...one of those that is told of in tall tales?"</span>
Both Fade's just laughed at the old thing with a hyena like cackle, they had once heard a story about themselves once. It wasnÂ’t hard to reach that kind of status, they looked at Sieben as he showed off his torn up wings and how they seemed to grow back. Nice little trick, both of them had broken wings but they worked fine when you just put more effort into them. "oooo noo.... we were just hungry." They both said with a grin, neither one of them different from the other and both just as powerful. Only the original Fade was the most powerful, the only one they depended on. But he didnÂ’t show his face much and instead Fade did all the work. In fact they all did most of the work, to much risk otherwise. "And .." Another hyena laugh erupting from their throats. "I think we are all monsters here, even her." He said with a clawed hand pointing to Saiph, although she was a more pathetic one in his eyes. Hardly even worth the blood she ran on. They werenÂ’t entirely sure why he was suddenly getting ready to attack, it was a bit beyond them. But they were certainly not complained and both of them stood their ground evenly, adopting a more battle like stance. Their eyes flashed with excitement and glee as they grinned at the up coming fight, one with his head slightly tilted and jaw open. A rabid like drool beginning to foam up from his mouth, hissing like acid as it dissolved tiny parts of the stone it landed on. They wanted him to make the first move though, they were more akin to scavengers and hunters, and they seemed to prefer the prey to make its move. More of a challenge that way. A challenging like hiss erupting from their throats simultaneously.
<span style='color:darkred'>He smirked sensing that Fade wasn't looking forward to fighting with him at all. Sieben reached his talons up and slipped them back along his mane before dropping his arms to his waist causing the darkness that surrounded the three of them to fade away as it never happened in the first place. He shook hish ead and lowered his eyes for a moment as the flesh that grew to his wings rotted away as quick as it appeared. "You are...just like the rest..." He shook his head and walked over into the direction of his lounge chair where he came to rest upon it. He glared a bit as his continued to gaze upon the two Fades, gazing into the direction of their eyes as they looked back to him. His grin disappeared shortly after his power down, but remained at a minimal power, just let Fade know that he wasn't to be taken lightly. Sieben reached his hand over into the direction of the back of the chair, caressing over it's stony smoothness. "I take it that my Saiph has shown you where the people of this island has been taken. And you seemed to have had your pick of one of them already. Otherwise...I wouldn't beable to sense the dorminate energy that rested with the chest of that copy."</span>
Fade smiled dropped as the Sieben walked away, they were expecting a good fight but now only disappointment filled them. They both hissed in a way that sound like a sigh as he sat in the chair, curious as to what on ramath he was doing. Hardly the all powerful creature they had expected. "Coward.. "They hissed lightly, followed by a little laugh. They were full of themselves at the moment, a supposedly more powerful thing had backed down. In their eyes it was a show of weakness. They smiled all the more as he began to talked about the brothers, they liked this subject a lot. The discussion of necromancy was interesting to them and they relished the opportunity to discuss it. "Ah but thatÂ’s were you wrong, that will fade away in time." A little giggling like snarl at the play on words, "Its just energy left over from the change. But it is no copy, its just me all over again. Everything I have it has, including a soul." A massive grin on his face now growing with every possible moment at his own self loving. He was mildly pleased with his talents, as far he knew know one else had conspired or even achieved such a status with the manipulation of Fromonia and souls to create something like himself. It went straight to his head.
<span style='color:darkred'>Sieben merely shook his head at the comment made about him backing down and not tearing the Fades apart. He reached his other set of talons up and rested them upon the couch arm, tapping his claws against them seeing that it wasn't no more than a simple soul and structural change between one body that wasn't infected and the other. But what really caught his attention was the part about the energy not being energy that belonged to a former pet of his. He grinned and lifted himself up from his seat once more and winced a bit. "So you act as an infecting parasite. How original." Sieben spoke as he threw out one of his hands suddenly causing chains to come from the ground and grab hold of the copy of Fade. He glared a bit and closed his talons into a fist cuasing the chains to tighten about the other Fade before he turned his eyes back into the direction of Fade himself. "But you see...I can't stand the fact that there is more than just one of a person in this world. So since there is only suppose to be a single Fade in this world then you shouldn't have a problem with me dismembering the other." He spoke as his features changed once more causing his eyes to shift back to the demonic red color. His wings themselves doubled in size and expanded out from his body giving a great flap. The flesh creeped back onto the bones of his wings restoring them once more to the vampiric style. He grinned and looked over into the direction of Fade, gazing into his eyes. "Does it not Fade? Does the death of another you...bother?"</span>
Fade smiled as the chains wrapped around him, and as he watched the chains wrapping around himself. The other fade just watched too, they werenÂ’t as powerful as Sieben but they were by no means weak and if he wanted to beat them he was going to have a to try and little harder than that. The Fade who wasnÂ’t under attack stood their and answered his little comments, he found it amusing that he was considered the real Fade, when in truth he was just a copy himself. "Parasite yes, and bother me... no. After all their are so many ready and willing people to infect and turn. Its very easy to replace them." He said with a snarl. And with out a word he put his own plot into effect. He shot along with all his vampiric and powerful speed. But not at Sieben, instead he went for the girl. And since she was asleep it was an easy target. His hand found her throat and he stood behind her, bending her arm around behind her back and her hand against her wrist, a pose that made it very hard to struggle. Without getting hurt anyway, he was older and stronger then her, the fact he had drunk the blood of a more powerful vampire dry helped. Still he was almost 100 years older than her, which really counted for a lot. "But does losing a fledgling bother you, I can replace mine." He said with a grin, the claws already digging into her flesh just enough to cause pain but not to draw blood. Yet very capable of ripping her throat clean out. The other Fade was laughing a little now, but also applying his strength to the chains. Sieben shouldnÂ’t have given him the chance to escape, he should have just crushed him the moment he caught him. It didnÂ’t happen often. He shank his body inwards so the chains closed in more, but then he forced all his energy outwards. With a chink and snap his bones snapped but with some success, as he climbed out of his chains with a slobbering a drooling like frenzy of movement. Laughing as he snapped his bones back into place and grinned at Sieben, the faint clicking sound of them re healing.
<span style='color:darkred'>Sieben dropped his hand and gazed off into the direction of the other Fade that was holding his beloved Saiph in a death grip. He didn't show any sign of fear as he gazed off into the direction of the two. Sieben's crimson eyes focused in on the unconious Saiph's mind without looking beyond her. He turned fully towards the other Fade and just gazed upon him still, well aware of the other Fade standing off to his right ready to do something in turn to him. "So...this is how a coward plays the game. But you should know more about what she can do. Don't think that I would allow a simple fledgling serve under me." He lifted his eyes back to the Fade and directed his head into a nod turning his attention off to where the real Saiph was now laying. She was all out on the couch still in her sleeping position as before, but with the protection of the island surrounding her. No matter how strong this Fade was, he wasn't going to break the barriers that surrounded and protected his fledgling. "You see...that a mere piece of wood doesn't mean anything to me." He grinned looking back to wooden log that was within Fade's grasp. "It does some good to teach my dear Saiph the Replacement Technique." He reached his taloned hands up and holds them out in front of his face allowing the darkness to consume the three of them again. The two Fades and Sieben. Within the darkness they stood, just them. "Now I will show you how real vampires do battle!" Sieben's clothing began to melt away from his body revealing the black leather strapped suit that was hidden beneath it. His long white mane changed color from ash to black and began to whip about behind him. He grinned wickedly and extended his wings allowing his full energy to be released. No reason to go and show mercy to those that have threatened the afterlife of his fledgling. "Comeon! Comeon! Show me what you can really do! Transform..."</span>
Fade snarled and tossed the wooden log aside, it made no difference. But he found it odd that he called it a cowards game, since he had stated the whole hostage situation himself. But maybe he was getting a little senile in his old age, especially since he though changing your cloths and extending your wings was transforming. More like dressing up than anything, if you wanted to transform you actually had to change your appearance. "Fine." He feminine voice of Saiph ringing through the air as both the Fade's took the form of Saiph, but then the other shifted back into the form of Sieben then into his original form. Both laughing yet one with a distich female tone. But it was at that point the Fade looking like Saiph began a real transformation, his whole appearance chanting as he stooped to a quadruped. His fangs seemed to extend and his wings grew, little talons formed on the end of his wings and his whole body shook with his new form. It resembled a giant bat like creature but with a sinister look of some feral thing, with glowing, pupils eyes. The same as Fade. The bat Fade launched itself at Sieben as it covered itself in flames, its massive talon like hands extended and ready to tear and kill. The other, biped Fade grinned, one for the muscle, the other for the show. He began working some dark magic as the bat thing attacked, weaving a spell of some magnitude. In his hands a dark nothing seemed to form, like blackness yet infinitely more sinister. At first it was empty yet faces began to appear in it, then they seemed to press against the dark orb, stretching, pushing. As if they could burst out at any minute, then they did. The faces broke free and whirled around where the orb once was, now it was just white faces moving with all the energy souls could. With a wave of his hand they flew straight for Sieben, hungry and consuming, trying to eat away at his body. The sounds of FadeÂ’s laughter echoing though the darkness.
<span style='color:darkred'>Sieben merely smirked at the on coming attacks that was dealt out by both Fades. He reached his hand up and caused it to explode outward forming into this dark mass that looked like some kind of oil. The mass changed and became more beast like changing into that of a large demon hound's head with several red eyes just like Siebens. The beast roared aloud baring it's teeth as it slammed into the on coming Fade look-a-like. Sieben the whipped out his other hand that changed as well into another large beast head as the rest of his body changed into the black oil goo. His face as well disappeared into the goo as thousands of the red eyes appeared all over the black mass. Sieben laughed aloud and caused his face to reform out of the goo gazing off into the direction of Fade, just as the rest of his mass exploded outward causing the demon hound faces to charge at him in return. "Yes...I wouldn't have expected anything less of you." He laughed with the big grin still on his face. The demon hounds charged into the direction of Fade from all directions coming to rip him to shreds as well. He laughed aloud once more and extended his tongue out drooling.</span> <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>In other words, Sieben caused himself to change completely into this black mass of goo. And in turn summoned his inner demons to fight. More or less...it is the madness inside that is driving his body to be the way it is, and the true vampiric powers to come forth.</td></tr></table>
Fade snarled as Sieben turned into his goo, in was more interesting that deadly from the looks of it. Although hell dogs werenÂ’t that interesting and the bat fade had to suddenly change direction to avoid being bitten. The Bat Fade dug its talons into the side of one of the dogs and lifted it into the air before spilling its guts out. The normal Fade just stared at them, then send sharp, powerful kicks into them. It helped when he could see attacked coming due to his seerism, he could almost fight blind folded it was so easy. One hound went for his leg and a simple round house with the other leg dispelled it, One jumped up and tried to maul his arm, he let it. The powerful bite nearly took it off, causing thick amounts of dark blood to ooze out of the wound. His other arm grabbed its neck and twisted it all the way around, tearing its body clean off but leaving the head still on his arm. The wound already healing over and pushing the teeth out. He snarled as too more hounds jumped at him, but they were sliced apart by a swoop from the bat and its talons. This left him looking at a pile of black goop, which was rather curious. He didnÂ’t really know how to attack it, so instead he kicked a stone into it, If only he had a twig or stick or something, could be fun to poke. "Is that it.." He question with his raspy voice not sure if more hounds were on the way, just in time as the head fixed on his arm fell to the flaw with a slop.
<span style='color:darkred'>Sieben whipped his head around before causing himself to form out away from the blob that was on the ground. He reached his talons up and sweeped them through his hair mane lightly. He casted out his hand shortly after, causing the walls to come down around them, revealing that of thousands of hell hounds. Sieben slowly dropped his hand back to his side before moving over slowly into the direction of the still somewhat normal Fade, reaching his hand into his coat that somehow reappeared on his body. He drew his talons back from his coat holding the handle of a blade that just seemed to get longer and longer as he drew it from within his coat. "I am just getting warmed up.." He casted the tip of the crimson blade down and touched it to the ground causing the horde of hell hounds to flood into the now exposed temple area. As if they was a massive flow of earth or something. All heading into the same and general direction of the two Fades. But at the same time some of the hounds changed form and became other Siebens holding blades that was the same to the one he held in his talons currently. "As long as this world is feeding my forever bloodlust, you will never defeat me." He laughed aloud as the other Siebens melted back into hounds and charged in on the transformed Fade. Sieben alone stood off from the swarming hell hounds, gazing upon the other Fade. The madness seemed to bold up in the crimson eyes as he gazed upon Fade and that insane grin that followed along with it. "Now...why don't you come and face me. Instead of sending an agent to do your dirty work."</span>
Fade began trying to work out this new problem, a thousand dogs was a bit much. At least they were going after his brother and not him though, no real honour amongst thieves. Still it really was beyond anything he could really manage, unless he raised a small army to face them. But this place they were in was somewhat lacking in corpses of any kind. The transformed Fade panicked a little they did the only thing he could. Fly up higher so the dogs couldnÂ’t reach him, he dared not go down since they looked powerful enough to reach him, the idea of being savages alive wasnÂ’t the worse thing he had faced but it was by no means the nicest. The other Fade scoffed though when Sieben spoke again, trying to discover if he was blind or just generally a hypocrite. "Are you mad, he is me. Call off your "agents" and face me one on one your self." Annoyed at the double standard view of Sieben, hardly an honour there. But Fade couldnÂ’t really fault him for that, honour was not in his virtues much. He took some stance, an the exact same moment some large two handed purple blade appeared in his hand, seething in black flame.
<span style='color:darkred'>Sieben smirked at Fade's purposal and shook his head lightly. He slowly lowered his left hand towards the ground and snapped together two of his talons causing the horde of hounds and the black mass to vanished. Sieben lifted his blade back up and slipped it over his shoulder where it rested. "Well...does that make my dear friend...happy?" He tossed his left set of talons up and moved back his long ash gray mane settling it upon his back once more. He slipped his tongue over his lips and took in but another hint of the blood that filled the air. Sieben merely shook his head once more and turned his back onto Fade and moved back over into the direction of his make-shift throne. Upon it rested the unconious Saiph curled up in a defensive ball of ash colored fur. "So tell me...'Fade of Many Faces', why is it that you want to fight with me for? What have I ever gone and do to you? Becides allowing you to step foot into my temple and take a pick of one of those islanders?" Sieben spoke as he twisted his head slightly to the side looking off into the direction of Fade once more.</span>
Fade looked at Sieben with a look of complete surprise, he must be going insane or something. It was like all the ages this one had been alive had taken their toll on his mind, either that or he couldnÂ’t handle bloodlust. Or maybe he had a 1 minute memory like some simple amphibian, it was a curious thought. If his brain had decayed that meant vampires werenÂ’t totally immune to the passage of time. A very curious thought indeed. "Well, if you remember not only did you attack first but you have also screamed at me to attack you come and face you. Are you feeling ok." A condescending and patronising tone filling the air, as you do when speaking to senile people. He quite liked the nick name though even if it made no sense since all his faces were the same. After all each copy of himself was identical. Having lots of the same faces thought could still count, he should stick it on his lair somewhere for a joke. A plaque would look quite foreboding, with bones and such to be stereotypical. "But if you want to know, I am curious to see if I clone if from a more powerful host, if the clone in turn will be more powerful. It was not my original plan though." His blade was still in hand but he didnÂ’t think he would need it any more, the situation seemed to be changing.
<span style='color:darkred'>Sieben reached his taloned hand up and slipped it over his head lightly before shifting his gaze back to Fade once more. He slipped his tongue along his lips lightly and smirked. He turned on a heel and came face to face with Fade once more, knowing that the second one wouldn't have been far behind. "You want to conduct a test...is that it? Well if you are looking for someone powerful to try and control, try going to the Machina Ruins or something. There is bound to be someone there that you can control like a puppet with your clones." He slipped his blade up and placed it over his shoulder where it merged with his wings, causing them to become steel covered and to glow the same crimson color as the blade was. Sieben turned his gaze back to his beloved Saiph before reaching his tail about her waist and coiling it up like a snake about her. He lifted her up over his head with the strength of his tail then dropped her down to where she dropped into his arms. "If you will excuse me for a moment...she needs rest." Sieben turned his back on Fade and headed off into the direction of a long hallway. Along the way, droplets of blood and energy came from Sieben's wings causing them to change on impact into the black hounds from before. Everyone of them that was spawned growled and drooled as they watched over Fade in the absence of the master. Sieben returned moments later with a new change of clothing from the white business suit to a black tanktop and black slacks. About his wrists and ankles rested the anicent shackles that bound him centuries before. He moved over into the direction of his throne and dropped down into a sitting position upon it, with his crimson eyes never leaving the sight of Fade. "So since you are never going to finish what you have started here, Fade of Many Faces. Why not just take your leave and head back towards the mainland? The sun isn't bound to be up in the next few hours, so that should give you enough time to go into hiding once you reach land.</span>
Fade and Fade looked at this one curiously, things hadnÂ’t exactly gone to plan but that was to be expected one fighting someone quite powerful and full of themselves. He nodded curtly though accepting his new nickname with interest, one he would defiantly save now. Both the Fade's stood to attention like little soldiers, it was their way of patronising the old one. Before conceding to inevitability, which was by coincidence their favourite word. Inevitable. It always was with them. Now whoÂ’s full of themselves, he mused to himself quietly before turning. "Well shucks, I feel all out of place now. Theirs you looking utterly ridiculous in a suit and me in rags, just looking poor. Then you on a stone throne and me wandering around, but its you with the shackles to the island. Funny how ironic life is." He liked his little random ramblings, especially since the ridiculous bit was true, a vampire in a bad suit was just weird. Esuleum ull sha fui... A new thought. "Well see you around, hope your not dust by then." He said with a odd grin before walking in perfect unison towards the exit and spreading his torn and ripped wings once more. Then flying out into the cool moon air, he had spent a little to much time their. A shame most of it was sooo dull, it needed a good old fashioned war. With lifeÂ’s perfect timing he looked down to see some other vampires fighting over the river, new arrivals it would appear. Then a grin as one dusted the other, but the victory was short lived as it found its self being picked up by Fade of Many Faces. The three Fade's set of into the horizon. To the frozen throne.
