September 17th,
1:35 PM, Starlight Central Academy, Veronica's room in the dormitory assigned to the Vampires.Two days.
It had been two days since the counter strike orchestrated by Alaric Dorerra on the assassin that had been responsible for the deaths of multiple members of the vampire faction in this academy. And in those two days Veronica had managed to find absolutely nothing on the person or persons who were responsible for the grievous crimes committed against her people.The memory of that night was still very clear in her head. She had been on her way to her scheduled feeding session at the time. It was something that most of the upper class Nobles in the academy did both to save face and to avoid the stress and risk involved in hunting normal humans. An arrangement of equivalent exchange between the vampire and the blood donor that benefited both parties.
VeronSeptember 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
'Where are you right now?' 'The coffee shop at the end 'of Sixth Avenue.' 'There's a coffee shop at Sixth Avenue?' 'Where is the Sixth Avenue?' '🤦' 'Right, exchange student...' &nbs
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
When Lisa had first entered the mage academy at the Arcane Circle's headquarters in Salem Oregon, she had been completely terrified. She had been eight years old back then, with a short frame and a weak body that did her no favors whenever she got sick, which unfortunately turned out to be quite often. Intimidated by the superior skills and strength of her classmates, Lisa had never really tried to compete with anyone else in both social standing and magic prowess. She had been born with a relatively large magic reserve within her soul but she had not possessed the required constitution to properly learn and master elemental magic, a basic which was usually used to determine where the talents of a young mage lay. Luckily for her the current headmaster of the academy had been a wonderfully kind and considerate man, not to mention scarily intelligent. Upon realizing what her problems were, the man had refused to write her off as a failure like so many other te
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
9:10 PM, Outskirts of Starlight Bay, The Marino Safe House. Ever since the day a young man had sat in his office and called himself a werewolf, Antonio had realized that the world as he knew it had fundamentally changed. Soon after all sorts of crazy impossible things had started popping up in his radar. Things that must have been there previously, but he had not noticed them in the past simply because he had thought them to much of a stretch of the imagination to be real. Even later when he had been quite rudely introduced to the world that lay beneath the visible through the attack on his daughter and her subsequent kidnapping by a demon of all things, Antonio Marino had thought that he would be able to resolve the whole thing by using a tactic that had never failed him in his past with the mafia's dirty business. If you can't kill it with a knife, get a gun. Followin
The large shadow-covered monster lunged forward with a roar. 'Contractor, I have a suggestion that will help us... It is very dangerous but we do not seem to have much options...' Its menacing crimson eyes locked onto Anna with an unnatural hatred, flooding the little girl's mind and body with paralytic terror. 'Contractor, grant me permission to use your power...' She could not think. She could not move. There was a faint hissing sound in her mind's background but she could not focus on anything but that approaching red eyes that glared at her. They were filled with so much hatred... so much forced hatred... ... she wanted to help this poor creature... 'Contractor if you do not reply, we shall both die here...' Her mental block flared open as a determined resolve was born within her. "Do it." The serpent that had coiled itself tentatively around her neck unwound the co
September 15th, 9:29 PM, Outskirts of Starlight Bay, The Marino Safe House. Squads of men in suits and body armor poured out of the house all armed with a variety of heavy duty firearms. A wave of hesitation passed through them as they came face to face with a literal army of giant fierce shadow monsters. Their red eyes blazed like crimson lamps in the darkness, with some of them having even more than one pair. "Lucio!" One of the men called out. "What the hell are these things?!" "The heli if I know?" The Italian man shouted back and reloaded his rifle in a swift movement. "Just start shooting and don't stop until everything's dead!" The moment the order was given, the men all raised their weapons and unleashed a storm of explosive armaments. The monsters fell into a frenzy, growling snarling and roaring as they surged forward recklessly under the command of thei
