*Marcus kept his head down momentarily as Adian now stood beside him. He looked across and stared eye to eye with this Kozlak for a moment, then a smirk came across his face.*
"Kozlak... If you have any questions, myself or Adian would be the experts to ask. Do not wonder for that is never a way to learn."
*Marcus unsheathed his sword and threw it up towards Kozlak. It stopped as it was coming down and simply hovered over to Kozlak, the handle only inches away from Kozlaks face and the initial "M" almost glowing*
"You're welcome to hold one of those three swords that wrote many a chapters of our vampiric history"

"you are here to tell us about these."
Adian unsheathed throws in front of Kozlak. So now both swords are floating infront of Kozlak.

Kozlak smirked slightly to himself as Marcus spoke to him about him having questions, knowing he knew more about them then they could have realized. Reaching his hand out to reach for Marcus' sword hilt as Adian had then also tossed his up in front of him both floating there. His eyes fixed on the almost glowing initials engraved on the sword hilts. Hmm'ing slightly as he then gripped his hands around both gently at first as then his grip became firmer.
"I haven't seen these for many centuries...." he mumbled silently.
As he swung the swords back and forth some before he crossed them and slid the blades lightly across each other. Still sliding the blades across each other to their points as they then separated and then began to glow dimly and grew brighter by the second. Realizing what he had done, he tossed each of the blades back to Marcus and Adian. The hilts of their blades pointing towards their faces as the light faded away from their swords. His eyes fixed on Marcus' and Adian's as he began to speak.
"No, I have no need to ask you any questions Marcus, I know more then you could possibly know about yourselves and your swords. As well as the one you know as the creator, or as we all call, the First. But first...."
His gaze now focusing on Adian.
"Adian, have you ever noticed the symbol on the wall in the throne room? Have you ever noticed that whatever you do to it, it just returns to its original state? Do you know why that is?"

"Yes I was wondering why no matter what I did I could never get rid of my sword or the amulet.One time I was sick and tired of my life I was living so I threw my sword and amulet off a cliff. And I woke up the next morning and they were both at my door in my room."
Adian paces back and forth while hold his amulet in one hand and and the sword in the other looking at the symbols up close.
"And what you mean by haven't seen ...centuries?"
He walks back to the side of Marcus and waits for a response

Kozlak's eyes darted up quickly at Adian when he finished his sentence with some of the words he had muttered moments earlier. Smirking slightly as his eyes drifted to Adian's and Marcus' swords once more.
"It's because this isnt the first time I have seen these swords and amulets. I was around while they were created...literally."
His eyes slowly coming back into contact with Adian's eyes.
"Also, those symbols on your swords were put there purposely, Engraved with your initial, which would only allow that particular user to handle the weapon. And with your amulets also engraved with the same insignia gives you more power, but is also what bound you to the creator to control you. The mark on the wall in the throne room used to be his mark, The reason why that mark remains. Is because he appointed someone to take his place apon his death."
Kozlak's eyes transfixed on Adian's for several long minutes before Kozlak moved. His hand reaching over to his sleeve and pulling it up to reveal to them the mark that was on the wall in the throne room. Looking down at his revealed shoulder before he returned his gaze onto Adian and Marcus.
"This mark here was given to me as a gift many many centuries ago. My history is to long to tell at this time. But what I can tell you is that I was trained by him and by his best vampires. I also was one of the vampires in the room when those weapons and jewellery were crafted. I also had the pleasure of learning their secrets before the "The First" turned you and left them behind near you to collect. And not to much longer after that happend He died..."
A small grin forming on his lips momentarily before it disappeared again.
"And yes, to your next question since I believe you figured it out by now. I am the rightful leader of this coven. But as I had said to you before Adian. I am not here to take over, I am here to protect it. Since the first Great war against the humans, they believe I died protecting this Coven. And I have no intentions right now to reveal my identity to them. Only You, Marcus, and Valena know of my true identity. And if you wish me to leave then all you have to do is ask."

"That's interesting, how come I wasn't told about this?... And why was valena notified about this, and why did she not tell me; is the another question?...
Adian walks back and forth between Marcus and Kozlak.
"Since you don't want to take over or let anybody else know. You have to take some orders around here so that no one notices..."

Kozlak nodded slowly to Adian's last reply.
"Yes, I have full knowledge of that Adian, and I will not mind to much. As I have said, I want to help protect this coven."
His eyes locked on to Adian's as he paces back and forth.
"And the reason why Valena did not come to you about this information is because I had asked her not to. The reason I did this was to see how much of a leader you are said to be or how much of a coward you can be. There are some things that should be done yourself. Like confronting me and talking about things you'd like to know then rather have your minions do it. Especially when I proved to you apon our first meeting that my intentions towards you and this coven were not hostile."
Ending his speech allowing his last words to echo lightly down through the empty corridor.

"You... were there from the beginning... Tell me... what happen to my wife!"
*Marcus ran to Kozlak and grabbed his shirt lifting him slightly* (don't mind the slight power playing mike )
"She was taken from me the night that monster did this to me! He left me with my life... but he took everything of mine that was in it!"
*Marcus dropped Kozlak and turned around... lowering his head and taking slow paces to a wall before placing a hand against the cold stone wall...*
"If he's dead..."
*Marcus muttered*
"Then my only goal in this life... to find the one that did this.... and reap my revenge... is over.... ... ... "
*His hand slowly clenched into a fist and pounded at the wall, shaking the house, before he yelled in a fit of rage that the whole house could hear*
"WITHOUT AVENGING MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER!!!!!"

Kozlak stood there silently and unmoved by Marcus's little burst of anger. His eyes stared into Marcus's as Marcus picked him up. Kozlak watch Marcus move to the wall and waited until he finished his out of control temper.
"No Marcus. Avenging your wife and your daughter wouldnt bring them back even if they were dead."
Kozlak waited momentarily to see if Marcus caught his words correctly before he spoke again.
"Yes that's right Marcus, Your wife is still alive. But I will not discuss her further until we speak privately."

Adian looks at Kozlaks then Marcus to see the expression on his face
"Marcus I've know you along time now, So I will put this conversation between us three on hold. I will step out so you can talk about your wife because I know how much you want to see her again.."
Adian walks towards the hallway get to the entrance and turns around.
"I'll be in my quarters, and Marcus I think it's about time you step outside this room and into this coven a new face, come to my quarters when you two are finished you conversation"
Adian Leave the room and closes the passage behind him and starts walking up the stairs.

"Thank you Adian."
*Marcus watches Adian walk down the hall disappearing into the darkness... His footsteps get lighter and lighter until a faint sound of the door closing is heard. Marcus drops his head slowly as he turns to Kozlak... He takes a moment to himself choosing his words carefully but new information regarding his family is clogging his mind... He shakes his head and looks up to Kozlak*
"That night... the last time I seen my family.... Alive..... Start there, and tell me as much as you can."

Kozlak watched Adian disappear in the darkness and listens as his footsteps fade away as he returns to his quarters. His head turning back slowly as he gazes at Marcus. Nodding his slowly as he asks him to start from the last time he saw them alive.
"Very Well." as he pauses and watches Marcus closely as he can sense that his mind has become clouded.
"The night when you last saw your family, I was already under his arm in personal training, and had become the heir to his throne when would pass on. I had been plotting to take his place of power ever since he had brought me into his coven which ruled all the vampires until I disappeared. but that is another story for later. He left the coven frequently in search to find humans that could harness some of his power, but when joined together in battle would become stronger then himself. So his frequent outings he found his three men needed for his experiment. For months he kept watch on you, adian, and Raven very closely while he constructed three swords and amulets."
pausing briefly as he took some breaths and allowed Marcus to absorb the information before he continued.
"After construction was complete, he set out that night for Adian, Raven, and you and turned you all and leaving each of you with the sword and the amulet. He left you three on your own without any knowledge of the items he left you or of the other 2 he did it to as well. But in an effort to find him, you found eachother. But he knew you Marcus, that you would want revenge and kill him, and this is why he made you believe your familys' dead. But they arent. But they're no longer human either. When he turned you he also turned the rest of your family and took them hid them from you and told her that you were dead, so she wouldnt search for you and ruin his ultimate goal, which was to create 3 vampire soldiers that be almost invincible. But after the night he had done all this I killed him, making it look like someone had assissinated him and I took his throne, and from there we had the great war with the humans, and we would have lost if not for my abilities. but in doing so I knew I had to become much stronger then I was so during that instant I vanished after slaughtering them, leaving no trace of myself behind. Then the coven broke up and spread out into multiple covens ruled by idiots and cowards."
Kozlak stopped talking and stared at Marcus looking at his somewhat state of shock from hearing this information.
"Is there anything else Marcus?"

*Marcus paced as Kozlak informed him of such history, thinking in his head of the war... the creator... of his wife...*
"Well you already know the next thing that will come out of my mouth then don't you... Especially if you are the oldest... The most powerful... Then tell me... If you killed him and his plan has more or less been fulfilled with 4 vampires that are unstoppable to all but themselves. Where is my wife."
*With those finally words booming out of his voice he stepped up to Kozlak, looking him deep into his eyes... His fangs glistening in the candlelight. Veins begin to surface from his forehead and neck.*
"All these years have been a WASTE!"

Valena had managed to find her way back to the mansion without any event, she had come across some of her housemates, simply refusing to call them her friends or anything that might resemble a closer relationship. The other vampires merrily lived in the same house she did, nothing more, she didn’t like many of them and she didn’t have to being Adians lover and all. She sighed, something she only did when she was melancholic, as she couldn’t in fact breathe, or didn’t have to anyway. Sometimes Valena could spend a whole day breathing, just to try and remember how it was when she was still human. Only fragments of her youth in Transylvania still lingered in her mind, over the years her memories had faded and forgotten. though on good days she can remember the smell of her old house, the feeling of crisp papers from her books in her fingers, the ever present feeling of danger that seemed to lurk in her hometown owed by the fact Dracullas castle was situated so close by. Draculla was purely a myth of course, created by the vampires to make sure people would fear them and they were right to, it had kept the vampires safe in the castle and they were well fed on brave men that wanted eternal glory through the death of a vampire. no-one ever succeeded of course. Valena’s footsteps led her away from the mansion once more, keeping in mind she should return shortly because of the sunrise being mere hours away, her hands involuntarily found their way to her necklace, a slender finger running over the tear shaped ruby that dangled between her breasts. She had forgotten how she had gotten the necklace, she still had the bloodred ruby encrusted cross from her grandmother but was unfortunately unable to touch it for very long. One of the myths that were actually true about vampires, crosses weren’t their friends, it didn’t exactly kill them as many claimed, it just burnt, probably had to do with the fact vampires weren’t exactly gods children anymore once you grew fangs and started craving human blood. Valena looked around, her eyes wandering through the twilit forest as the sky began to clear up somewhat from the impending dawn, not too far from her some bodies lay, obviously been feasted on by her kin and left for dead with but a few drops of blood left in them. The sight bothered Valena, not that she had objections to feeding on human prey, just after she had sated her hunger she didn’t like the sight of another vampires mess. Very unbecomingly of a vampire she had disposed of her victim, the young man waiting for his mistress that never came, she always got rid of her dinner to avoid the attention of unwanted visitors to the mansion. visitors like vampire slayers. Oh yes they were quite real and quite around too, a few, say 50 years ago one heard of strange disappearances in Erumara and had been summoned by the king to find out if his beloved country was in fact occupied by Vampires. Fortunately for the coven the slayer was young and foolish and quite easily to dispose of once he had trodden into the mansion unknowingly and thinking all vampires slept during the day. Quite the mistake that was when the watchers of that night had ripped him to shreds before he had time to reach for a stake. Valena laughed lightly at the memory, her footsteps having taken her slowly back to the mansion as the light seemed to grow in intensity behind her as the sun rose swiftly and unstoppably. She reached the mahogany door mere seconds before the yellow orb made its grande entrance, she felt the sting of the UV light ever so lightly on her hand when she rushed inside to her safe house. Closing the door Valena heaved a sigh once more, Adian was still occupied and her bed would be a cold one this day. Sauntering up the steps Valena made her way across the vast mansion to her own private little room, she opened the door, slipped in and closed it behind her. Sitting at her dresser she began to comb out her brown curls before she would get some sleep, after finishing she undressed, hanging her red dress back into the closet where it belonged and slipping into her nightgown, a frilly little thing, silky and a transparent sort of type but not enough to quite reveal anything. Yawning Valena slipped into her queen sized bed having pushed back the crimson covers and then pulling them over her, she rolled onto her side, one eye opening curiously as she checked her curtains were securely shut so as not to let any sunlight inside. Valena smiled a little when she rolled back over, onto her back, her hands crossed on her stomach as she closed her eyes, sinking into sleep.

Kozlak stood there unwavering to Marcus's approach and fearsome anger. Shaking his head slightly to Marcus's outburst of anger he began to speak.
"Calm yourself Marcus. There is no need for you to lose control. Your efforts have not been in-vain. They have been quite the opposite. Just because you were motivated by the knowledge of killing the creator for vegance, doesnt mean your actions have been fruitless."
Pausing briefly as he stared at Marcus, watching him calm down slightly.
"And as for your wife Marcus. She is safe, and if you wish to see her, I shall take you tonight at dusk. It will be a long journey. And I you can only withstand so much sunlight. So meet me outside the main doors at dusk if you wish to see her."
Still staring at Marcus in silence after finishing his talk about Marcus's wife. Turning around slowly and began to walk down the dark corridor slowly to return to upper floors of the mansion.
