September 14th, 11:58 pm, The Vatican City, St Peter's Basilica. The owner of the hoarse voice, Fr Josef Costa was a sixty something year old man with a balding head and bushy eyebrows and a slight moustache that was filled with gray hairs much like the situation atop his scalp. He wore a dark blue cassock and a royal purple stole that depicted his status as a Cardinal. His eyes were small but filled with a clarity and intelligence that reflected the knowledge his age had given him. The old man gave Vincent an unreadable look before shifting his dark eyes to the still seething Fr Enzo. "And you, have you lost all sense of empathy? Creatures of the night or not, those deceased were no less individuals than you and I. Do not spit on the face of their families and friends by disrespecting their passing." For a second it seemed as if Enzo was about to let the older man, though not by much, have a piece of his mind. But in a flash the expression on the man's face suddenly swit

  September 15th,  12:15 AM  Starlight Bay,  Somewhere within Starlight Forest...    The pale white glow of the half moon shone down on the beautiful city of Starlight Bay. Even at this late hour, the city was still dotted with brilliant and often multicolored lights that illuminated the night sky. The air was cold enough that most people out in the streets had to wear jackets to block out the chill as they went about their businesses.  But while some people slept, and some people indulged themselves in all manner of activities, in the woodlands that formed a natural border around the city, a fierce battle raged on...  Both figures blurred back and forth. Their blades clashed loudly, hardened metal against crystallized blood, each time releasing showers of bright sparks into the air.   The fight had been going on for over five minutes and Alaric had to admit that he had t

  September 17th,  4:15 PM,  Starlight Central Academy,  The Magic Brew Cafe.     Bliss.  That was the only word that could accurately describe the current state of mind of Mia Delgado as she let herself lean back on her end of the plush long seat that was in each of the booths of the Magic Brew Café. Her long brown overcoat covered her almost like a blanket and she drew it around herself like it was one. There was a cup of steaming hot chocolate in her hands as she stared out the window to watch the beautiful evening sunset.   The Magic Brew Café was one of the most popular spots among the student body of SCA. A big reason for that beyond the amazing food and service was the fact that the café was built at the top of a three storey building that stood on a small land elevation that looked over the western part of the Starlight Woods.   For the fi

  A clear feminine voice resounded throughout the forest.  "Tehnica Sângelui: Dansul Reginei Păianjen!"  Eight solid spikes of crystallized blood pierced through the airborne Chevy like needles through paper and impaled the ground and trees firmly to anchor the car in the air in an instant. The vehicle ended up being held up on its side less than two meters above the ground. Two more blood spikes ripped through the side of the car and Leva leapt out with Lisa in her arms.   Her appearance had changed quite noticeably from before. The pale skin of her arms up to her elbows had gained a red hue and a shiny texture not unlike hardened steel. Her fingernails had elongated into hard pointed claws and her palms now had strange holes in them. The color of her irises had turned blood crimson and there were two more pairs of closed eyes above and below her actual eyes. Her hair had undergone the most change, having turned from its pitch bl

  September 15th,  9:18 PM,  Starlight Central Academy,  Carson Boulevard.  Lee felt like he had had a very eventful week so far. First he had gotten to kick the shit out of two uppity young upstarts. Then they had brought him even more fun by getting him a fight with a Rougarou. Well, it was more of a slaughter than an actual fight but hey, it was still a good source of catharsis. Michael then had to go and send all of them on a bounty hunt for some mystery girl with crazy eyes. Although it sounded boring as all hell, he was sure he could find a way to make it fun. After all, the alpha had not exactly given them orders not to kill the girl if they found her.   As far as Lee was concerned, she was fair game.   The Asian Hunter was aware of the kind of reputation he held among some of the members of the supernatural world in the school. Which was why he had been honestly surprised when Elena Jo
