*She looked off to the side and saw an open window,ignoring his calls she jumped out the window and kept running* I'm sure I can find somewhere safe to be...ah! *At that point she remembered the place where he had taken her to eat and opened a door before her that opened to the same place. Before walking into it she looked back up at the castle "I could never..." She walked inside the door and closed it behind her* I can just sleep somewhere here...
I will have no clue where to find her. Just outside my castle is a place called the land of lost dreams. The land changes depending on what the one in it thinks. The very land will transform before her eyes until sunrise while she is trapped. And the shadows are there to devour the souls of anyone who gets lost in there. It will be impossible to find her but I must try. *He chases after her and slices in half the first shadow he sees.*
*she felt a wind blow on the door she had hidden in a few bushes back by Red's castle* Hopfully he doesnt find me here...hmm.. *She got up from the corner she was in before and went back the girl's grave and sat beside her*
*You see what looks like it could be the girls mother standing beside you.* Thank you for placeing my doughter here and killing her o sweetly my child. *The woman did not appear to be dead at all but rather very much alive. She strangely had no color or pupils in her eyes though.* I want to thank you child come close. *Red was nowhere to be found to you but he could see you and the woman. and attempted to reach you before being cut off by the shifting land.*
*She had looked up at her and listened to her kind words, she was a bit scared at the womans eyes but got up and went close to her with a curious face*
*Red finally guesses that your mind would be on the grave site and appears behind the woman. Without even thinking at all he thrusts his sword into her and she vanishes in a wisp of smoke.* I told you it's dangerous. That shadow was about to eat your soul. We have to get out of this place.
..uh..I...Why are you here! I told you I'd just sleep outside...it's better that way. I cant sleep at your castle,it just..*she yawned softly behind her hand before collapsing to the ground* ..it's...not r-right....*Before saying anything eles she fell into a deep sleep*
*He sighed and guarded her from the shadows assault until morning waves upon waves pouring in silently and swiftly each was annihilated at sun rise the shadows were gone and we were just in a field in front of the castle nowhere near the gravesite you believed we were in and far from the city as well.*
* She felt a slight heat on her body while sleeping, thinking it was just a small fire until pain had rushed through her body,shocks paralizing a little and needles peircing her skin but ther were none.She then shot up and look over at the sky side only to have her sight blined by the sun for a moment* Damnit...I hate morning.. *She got up from her spot and walked over to a nice shady area, a little confused on where they were since she was last in the grave yard but didnt care much as long as she got out of the sun,a slept in the shaded spot*
Glad to see you are awake. At night the land in front of my castle mirrors ones own thoughts. You see the land transform into ones thoughts. The shadow you were with is a creature made of darkness. It devours the soul of it's victims while they are lost in this land.Do not enter it again at night please. It is dangerous. Shadows are spirits they can not be defeated by standard means.
*Ignores him a little and walks into one of the walls of the castle finding herself in a place with nothing but open space, really nice floors and a few pictures on the walls. She had walked to the middle of the room and noticed it was a ball room.* Well I'm not dressed for soemthing so nice so I should leave..*She turned around to find the door and walked toward it * Maybe I should wait for him..
*He joins you smiling* Do you like it? This castle is nice. It has everything. There honestly is no problem letting you stay. I have over 12 thousand vacant rooms. This ballroom is not the most formal one anyway so do not worry about your attire. But I can take you to a city to do shopping for something better if you like. Want to see my favorite part of this ballroom? *The circle in the floor with the royal crest vanishes and a fountain rises from the floor and starts shimmering in the light with it's enchanted water.*
*She sighed* And I'm sure there are 12thousand people out there that need places to go. Why would I stand in there way to get a place to stay? *She looked over at the fountain that came out, only a little fasinated but looked away after* It's nice...nothing I've never seen before but I'm not worth it..*walks out the room*
Well I can't have you go into the land of lost dreams to sleep every night and you don't know your way around the kingdom and where to go.
Well why cant you? I'd just come back from the dead anyways. *changes into a cat* Not like I'm human.
bacause if the shadows eat your soul you can't be reencarnated.
Maybe it's best that way then...I wont have to worry about being pathetic in my world anymore.
I told you I'd make you strong you have to let me. That means accepting help. And for now you are in my kingdom where I can help you. I'm not going to let a shadow get you here because you are my guest. So the only thing this will do is make me or guards fight to protect you. I could just give you power but you must know how to handle it or it will be futile. Let us train more here in the field.
So I am...a guest. I see...alright then.As your guest I would like to live here for a while if it is alright. Also if it's not too much to ask...I'd like to have my room close to your's. It's the only way I will feel safe.
There is one right next to mine open.
*nods* Alright...Is there anything you have to do? I will find my way to my room if you are busy. I could just simplay as-.... *She would start to cough a little, feeling the attacks she had taken without blocking.* I could just...ask..someone for help.......mmh. *She could not stand any longer since she had been in a fight and hit by sunlight, having being a vampire when her hair is silver again. She fell to the ground and passed out there, still coughing until a slight bit of blood poured out*
*sighs* I'll get you inside and to your room. *he approaches her as she lies there and lacking healing powers and seeing the sunlight would kill her on the way there more painfully he looked down at her and made her be revived in her room when she dies and stomped on her head making it explode* Sorry. Now your fully healthy. I can't heal vampires withought killing them though. *He flew up to floor 43 1/2 and sat just inside her window.* Like your lodgings? My room is to the left.
*Got up from the bed,feeling a bit empty from being killed and walked over to him at the window and smiled.* Yes..I do. It's really nice here, like it belonged to someone. *hugged him lightly so he didnt fall* Thank you for all of this. Now I really do have to repay you. I cant just stay and not pay. If there anything I could do?
Hmm. I can't think of anything now let me know if theres anything you can offer though.
Well there is this...* she took out one little bag out of her cheast area that weighed at least 3 Tons* This is a little of the gold I brought with me..I have more somewhere
Very well that will be acceptable. Gold is a standard currency here so this is an excellent choice. If theres anything you need let me know.
*She turned her head to look at something in the room to keep him from seeing her redness in the face and walked away* I'm sure I wont really need anything soon. I might just sleep a while and then walk the castle a bit if that's alright. When do I train with you again?
Whenever you are ready. Since you did not bring a change of clothes you may use the ones in the drawers. No need to pay me for them or feel guilty they are being loaned to you so you have more than one thing to wear. Theres something for every occasion and some battle clothes in light weight for agile movement, light and heavy armored outfits, and they are all capable of fitting to you if you can transform. The light armored are normal clothes lined with lightweight but sturdy chainmail and the heavy is platemail, heavy combat bracers, vests and other things if your wondering. If you'd like to see anything in the castle in particular let me know. Oh I almost forgot on this floor there is the rooms of four old friends of mine all women I saved in a way. One however was murdered and she now looks kind of like a zombie as she wanted me to revive the same body. It does not smell or decay but shes sensitive about it's appearence. If you see her please don't say anything. I'll let you be on your own for a while. Call for me if you need me. *He teleports off to somewhere in the castle*
Hmmm....I wonder if they will fight again.
