Abel ran through the gates as fast as he could clenching his arm tightly as a burning sensation rushed through him with the howls outside the castle walls. The battle was over and the demon belial was sealed within a rune blade and was being escorted by the High templar towards the lower levels of the castle where it would be imprisioned, hopefully for all eternity. Abel watched the men in white armor take the sword down to the lower levels as he himself made his way to the surgeons quarters to have his wounds taken care of. Quickening his pace Abel noticed that the burning inside had ceased and upon closer examination he noticed his wound had healed itself... Abel had known the origin of his wound but had hoped that he had not been infected by the beast but now his suspicions were realized and he knew what he would become. Hoping no one had noticed him during the battle Abel slowly walked towards his personal quarters thinking about what he would do in light of his predicament.

Abel walked through the castle corridors towards the courtyard the smell of blood still pungent in the air which only made the beast inside begin to stir. Abel could feel his teeth begin to form fangs yet he continued to try and fight the transformation while covering his mouth with his hand as he began to sprint to the courtyard where he could use one of the many hidden exits to escape the castle hopefully before the transformation finished. he knew that if he couldn't get out before he was taken over by the beast he would try to kill his comrades. Only feet away from the exit he could feel the his skin tearing as the fur burst from beneath bits of his human flesh dropping in bloody clumps as he opened the heavy door to the outside, once outside the door slammed shut and locked itself behind him. For a moment Abel thought the transformation had stopped as the pain had faded but as soon as he had given a sigh of relief a sudden explosion of pain erupted inside his body, his bones were snapping and reforming into new positions and his muscles convulsing and expanding to accomidate his new form, The most painful part of the process was when his face began to break and reassemble into what would be his muzzle. Once the process ended Abel laid crumpled upon the ground the pain beginning to numb as the beast started to take control, as Abel stood up it was as if he was dreaming in first person yet he had no control over his body as it began to run on all fours towards the blood soaked battle field.

Once he had come to a closer view Abel saw that the light was not from the torches of the castle it was from several fires raging both outside and inside the castle walls. Abel ran full speed towards the castle and with his increased ability ran up the castle wall his metal greaves digging into the stone wall as he climbed to the top and prepared himself. From the top of the wall he could see all the damage that had occurred it seemed as if the gate houses were entirely intact and the fires were being extinguished As he continued observing the damage he saw that the keep was untouched and that most of the fighting had started and ended in the courtyard. Abel leaped down from the wall to help put out the fires his comrades shocked to see him as they had known he hadn't taken part in the fighting.
Richard: So you missed all the action those stupid beasts come leaping over the wall while were changing our guards, took out 4 men before we even knew they were here then they all rushed in killing probably 15 more. We thought they were gonna kill us all but then the templar and dark knights come up from Henry's burial chamber and sent those monsters back to where they came from and killing several of them, turns out one amongst their ranks was that french guy ..... Adrien who went missing two weeks ago. To think that one of our own became one of them... the thought just sickens me you know?
"yeah...." replied Abel thinking about his own situation and if he too would turn against his men as he remembered what he had done the previous nights while out of his control.

Takao stumbled upon the land, he could see the castle in the distance and did could tell whether he was at the right one or not. He fell on one knee and looked up at the castle which was blurry in his eyes.
Takao: "SHouldn't have....mixed such techniques with each other...."
He laughed as his eyes closed and fell foward to the ground. The dirts splashed away from the impact of his body to the ground and the dust slowly floated in the air. They allowed gravity to do it's work and dropped back to the ground. His wound had closed, but he had been pierced through the uncovered point in his armor chipping it. To run from the borders of Russia and Ukraine to Romania in the amount of time, he had to have used other 'methods' of reaching his destination.

The pack of vampires came to a stop in front of the smoking castle. Their long journey had finally come to an end, but would it all be in vain? The castle was on fire, and it seemed like no one was helping put it out. Immediately, Krono jumped on the scene.
Krono: Alexander! I need you to use your frost breath on every flame you see. Post haste!
Alexander: As you wish.
A small bow was delivered, as the vampire disappeared to put out the flames.
Krono: Jude! You're the fastest of us all. Rescue as many as you can. Remember, no feeding!
Jude: Sire.
Another bow was delivered, as the vampire went off to do his assigned task.
Krono: We shall approach the building with caution. There is no telling how our arrival could be interpreted.
The remaining vampires continued towards the castle. Keeping every sense they had, at it's tip top awareness.

Abel had finished putting out the fire he was working on when a peculiar smell wafted up into his nostrils it wasn't a smell he could put his finger on but once he caught a flash glimpse of a some of the vampires helping to put out the fires and save his kinsmen. Wasting no time abel ran through the castle gates towards the origin of the smell until he had reached the position of the group. "Not to be ungrateful but what is your business here and do you mean us any harm?" asked abel wondering exactly what their motives were.

Krono: My name is Krono. Krono Choisuel. My party and I wish to speak with the head of the Order in hopes that we make a temporary truce.

Abel knew that they had probably the best intentions and had helped out many of his men but it was against regulation to allow any supernatural creatures entry into the keep let alone have an audience with the elders. "im sorry but as you can see our head quarters are in a horrible state and with many of the soldiers on edge here i don't think it would be a good idea to stay here. I personally wish we could help you for the help you have given us but most of our men wouldn't be so willing to have you here." Abel understood that the vampires must have a dire situation if they were willing to ask their enemies for help but the was nothing he could do.

Krono: I didn't think Humans would help vampires.
Alexander and Jude returned to Krono's side.
Alexander: Sire, the fires are under control or extinguished.
Jude: I saved as many as could be.
Krono: Thank you, you two. You have done me a great service.
Krono turned to his men.
Krono: Men, I have been told upsetting news. We have been denied entry into the castle. Therefore, we have also been denied help from those who we thought could aid in our quest.
However! Fear not! We shall comb the land of Romania for other vampires that would follow us in our hopes of a free vampire world. We came from Romania originally, there may still be a few of us left here.
Krono began walking towards the exit of the courtyard. Loud yelling could be heard all around. The glow of the remaining fires could be seen dancing off the walls of the courtyard perimeter. The vampires set off into the night, but not before arrows could be heard in their direction.

as the vampires left abel had noticed some of the younger cadets following them armed with bows, abel knew the elders hadn't given any orders to attack and the fact that the young men were attacking while unprovoked angered him. Abel had followed behind the young men but became distracted when he caught a glimpse of something a few meters away. Upon further investigation the object was that of a man and he was wearing the white armor of a templar, abel rushed to his side checking to see if the man was still alive and once that was confirmed abel lifted him upon his shoulders and began walking back to the castle hoping that the cadets wouldn't do anything they might regret in the future.

Takao: "Lost....target.....will pursue as soon as possible Master.....Castor"
He mumbled as he was being carried by someone. He had thought that he was back in London. Still his body felt dead and there was hardly any energy to speak. He tried to open his eyes but was unable to do so. His body surely was recuperating from the use of his technique followed by Light dash. He felt a light chill climb up his spine and caused a quick tremble.

Abel ran towards the castle gates hoping that the man he was carrying would survive but even as he raced to the castle it was getting darker and the main gates were closing. Abel did his best to alert the guards to his presence but they couldn't here him over the grinding gears of the heavy gates and to his disappointment the loud ringing of the gate hitting the stone floor came just as he was upon the entrance. Knowing castor needed medical attention quickly abel put him upon the ground and began to try and lift the heavy gate. As his muscles strained against the tremendous weight of the portcullis the beast inside began to stir increasing his strength but as a side effect was forcing him to transform into his beastial state, Abel didn't know if he would maintain control this time so he hurried in his effort and just as the gate had lifted high enough he shoved Castors body beneath it before the gate clamored upon the ground again. The sound of the gate falling caught the attention of the soldiers in the gatehouse and they ran to see what was happening. Abel having control over his body this time ran quickly into the darkness of the woods to avoid being seen.

Bel stirred at the break of dusk, nobody had come into the small house, which had let him be completely calm before entering Romania, something that he thought would be helpful. In one fluid motion, Bel swung down, catching a rafter and shooting himself out of the window, he hit the ground running, but at a human speed, so that he wouldn't draw too much attention to himself. He broke the Romanian border without seeing many humans, although he thought he detected faint traces of a vampire's scent in the trees. It seemed too faint for the vampire to be anywhere near there anymore, and it grew fainter as he moved in, so he assumed that the vampires had already left the country, "But why would they be here? But they did leave alive, that's promising."
Bel moved through the trees, staying off the roads as much as possible, towards where he remembered the castle being. Eventually, he saw a spire in the distance, and slowed even further, though it was dark, he knew that those who knew of vampires, would probably recognize one, especially in the dark. He moved through a town that seemed to be surrounding the castle, or at least was very near to it, he finally reached the area of the gates to the castle, but was unsure of what to do, he stared at the gate, contemplating various courses of action, he could try to break in and let himself get captured, though then they might not believe his story, he finally decided to simply approach the gate and ask to be let in. When he finally started to the door, he did so quietly and slowly, his uncovered eyes scanning constantly in case of an attack, he reached the door and started to cry out, but stopped himself, "Sheisse... what language should I use with these humans? Romanian would be the obvious choice, but then again, they might not communicate much with the people here... well... here it goes..." Bel reached out and gave the gate three hard raps and then began -in Romanian- "Excuse me! Members of the Order, I am here to request an audience with you, I know that you probably don't normally take help from... persons of my nature... but I know that I can assist you. Please, you don't even need to let me in, just come talk to me." Bel finished and took a step back from the gate, he put his hands behind his head and sighed heavily, he wasn't sure if they would attack or not, so he positioned himself sideways to allow himself and easy exit route should he need it.

Hearing the rapping upon the portcullis one of the gatehouse guards began to open the gate while having one of signaling for a member of higher standing to meet with the man. As the gate slowly opened a dark knight walked from around the corner of the castle and approached Bel. The man was dressed as a dark knight and had the insignia of the order tattoed upon his shoulder yet the was something about him that kept a certain mystery about him. "Welcome young sir I am Lord Bifrons, I overheard your request for an audience but the members of the council are busy at the moment so how can I help you?" a few moments later a high templar appeared from the castle to meet with Bel but seeing as he was already being assisted by a dark knight he decided to return to his quarters.

Bel smiled warmly and faced the knight, he gave a bow and kept his head down, he moved forward until he was at the side of the knight, so that Bel could speeak and be heard by the knight, but by no one else. "My name is Bel Gedwyr Blutig, I have come here, in order to offer I disagreeistant. I know that you probably feel that you cannot trust me, but honestly, if you listen to what I have in mind, you do not even ever need allow me inside of your fortress. I myself think that quite reasonable." Bel slowly raised himself up, a relieved expression on his face, but keeping as much distance between them as possible with the man still able to hear him
"You see, though I am what I am, and though my name is that of... higher heritage among "my" people, I have reason to believe that they killed my parents, something I have had quite a long time to think about. I would like to act as a spy for you. Join the ranks of the Order of Purity... or other sects if the need be, and then report on their actions, decisions, motives, all of that, just to make sure that they are taken down. I understand if you are hesitant in accepting... or if you don't have the authority to accept yourself... This is part of why, should you request, that I never even step foot within" at that he motioned towards the castle behind the knight.
"I don't want a reward really, I just want it... to be known, after all is done, that I had a hand in their downfall. How does that sound?" Bel gave a confident smile, glad to have let out his plan at last and took a few steps away. "I am at your mercy, sir."
