Castle of Purity

[Nobutsuna]

Bel moved with the Sun's setting, leaving the cave and making a quick dash to the castle, with his speed it only took him minutes to cover the miles in between the cave and the castle. He probably could have made the journey the previous night, but didn't want to risk them not letting him in and having to see the dawn. He approached the gate with caution, unsure if he would be attacked or not, he reached the gate without incident, and thus assumed that there would be no incident, since his approach was concealed in no way but the darkness. He knocked heavily on the door to the castle and shouted, "Hello! I am one of you, and I'm looking for temporary refuge! May I come inside? I would really like to talk to some of the... leaders, if possible!"

The door creaked open slightly and Bel smirked, a "man" stood within the doorway, near the door, but not close enough to have touched it, he looked much like a butler, but Bel thought it might be some sort of disguise or farce. The butler made a small polite bow, which Bel returned, loosening up a bit as he thought that a facade would not have gone so far as to bow to him first. "Excuse me, but where might I find someone in charge?"

The butler looked up at Bel and nodded in recognition of the request, "unfortunately sir, the masters are not present at the moment, you may wait in one of our rooms until they return if you wish. But do not cause a ruckus sir, or the guard will be forced to remove you. And I will need your name for the masters."

Bel nodded his head as the butler spoke, "but of course, my name is Bel, I'll save the rest of myself for the masters if you don't mind. I won't cause any disturbances, may I be shown to my room now?"
The butler led Bel through the castle, rising a few floors and finally reaching the door to a fairly large room, Bel stepped inside and smiled, it was overly lavish of course, no doubt filled with the need of trying to impress guests. Bel turned to thank the butler, but he was already walking away, Bel shrugged and closed the door to the room. He walked over to the massive bed and jumped onto it, kicking his shoes off and landing in a laying position with his legs crossed at the ankles. "and now I suppose that I just play the waiting game, what fun..." he said morosely, wondering if anyone would return, assuming they really were gone, before he got too impatient and left.

The Next Night

After waiting out through the dawn, day, and dusk, Bel kicked his legs off of the bed with a slight sigh. He jumped up from the bed, crossing the length of the room before landing. His hand came to rest on the stone sides of the windows, situated slightly above his head, which hung out of the windows with his upper torso as he inspected the landscape, looking for signs of anyone approaching. He gripped the sill tightly, but not hard enough to break the stone, for though slightly frustrated, Bel did not want to seem rude should the company he awaited arrive. Bel knew that it was too early to truly expect anyone to see him, but sitting here, waiting like a good boy, for the one of the men who might have had a part in the death of his parents. At that thought, Bel heard a cracking from his hands, and immediately let go of the stone before it shattered.

Bel let out a low guttural grumble, with an almost growl-like tone. He looked at the window reproachfully, considering whether or not he should just leave. He thought to himself Perhaps I will just tell the butler that I must leave, that I realized that I might know where they might have gone, and will attempt to find them. It would be a lie of course, but it might seem less rude, perhaps they will assume that I was just a low-class vampire and got myself killed. Bel nodded his head, "One more night, and then I must excuse myself."

Bel walked away from the window slowly and reached up behind his back where he hid his blade, he pulled it out and swirl it in front of himself slowly in a figure-eight motion, his wrists turning and bending easily. His speed gradually increased until the blade was less than a blur, letting out a soft hum as it moved. The final seemingly pierced both loops of the figure simultaneously, until the motion stopped it would have been unclear which hand held the blade, he then slipped the blade back up under his coat and into the sheathe. He moved over to a large chair in the room and closed his eyes, his eyes were getting slightly tired from overuse, so although he didn't sleep, he kept his eyes closed and awaited either signs for his departure, the following night, or the arrival of one of these... Purity vampires.

Bel left the castle swiftly when he did, he didn't bother pushing himself as he did so, as he felt that his departure would be noticed, and also that they probably wouldn't care. He had left a note for the butler from earlier on the table, saying simply that he was off to try to find the Purity House leaders elsewhere, rather than just wait. This was only partially true, as Bel was unsure where he should go, he had spent enough time in Germany to be familiar with all of the landscape, and thought that it might be good to perhaps leave to places that he had been before, perhaps London, or Ireland, Russia, Bulgaria, Japan, perhaps even France or Italy. Bel knew the prospective dangers of each place, but also considered that he might be able to form a sort of alliance, perhaps become an agent for one of those factions, at least until he found his parents' killers.

Bel couldn't decide where to go first, the humans would likely be more reasonable, but perhaps the werewolves would be more interested in a way to gain an upper hand, no matter what it took. He decided to make his way to Romania, and try to reason with some of the Order. Bel took off at his full speed towards Romania, quickly crossing the German border and passing through Poland, Slovakia, and finally into Hungary, always sticking to shadows when possible, resting during one day in a thick grove of trees on a mountainside before finally reaching the very outskirts of Romania near dawn. While deciding where to stay during the day, Bel found a small Hungarian house that seemed to be abandoned, he slipped in through a window and quickly jumped up into the rafters, should anyone come back, he then sat and waited for dusk to come, so that he might slip into Romania and find the Order, or perhaps do a bit of reconnaissance first.
